Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
(Repeat x2)
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...
<@#ABBA_Im_A_Marionette.txt#@>
You're so free
That's what everybody's tellin' me
Yet I feel like I'm an outward bound
Pushed around refuge
Something's wrong
Got a feeling that I don't belong
As if I have come from out of space
Out of place, like King Kong
I'm a marionette, just a marionette
Pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet
Just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette
'Round and 'round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette
Just a silly old clown
Like a doll
Like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody taught me how to talk
How to walk, how to fall
Can't complain
I got no one but myself to blame
Something's happening, I can't control
Lost my hold, it's insane
I'm a marionette, just a marionette
Pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet
Just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette
'Round and 'round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette
Just a silly old clown
Look this way
Just a little smile is what they say
You'll look better on the photograph
If you laugh, that's o.k.!!
I'm a marionette, just a marionette
Pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet
Just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette
'Round and 'round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette
Just a silly old clown
You're so free
That's what everybody's tellin' me
Yet I feel like I'm an outward bound
Pushed around refugee
<@#ABBA_Lay_All_Your_Love_On_Me.txt#@>
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that
Smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk, a smile
And baby I was stuck
I still don't know what
You've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and
They've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth
Even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
<@#ABBA_On_And_On_And_On.txt#@>
I was at a party
And this feller said to me
Something bad is happening
I'm sure you do agree
People care for nothing
No respect for human rights
Evil times are coming
We are in for darker nights?
I said who are you
To talk about impending doom?
He got kinda wary
As he looked around the room
He said, I'm a minister
A big shot in the state?
I said I just can't
Believe it, boy
I think it's great
Brother can you tell me
What is right and what is wrong?
He said, keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone?
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
Over in the corner
I could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty
He was giving me the eye
So I took advantage
Of the fact that I'm a star
Shook my hair and took
A casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell
This guy was coming up to me
He said, who am I and
Who are you and who are we
What's our situation do
We have some time for us?
I said, I was not exactly
Waiting for the bus
He said, if you're going
Somewhere can I come along?
I said, keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone?
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
<@#ABBA_One_Of_Us.txt#@>
They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
<@#ABBA_Suzy-Hang-Around.txt#@>
Suzy was nine and I was ten
Right at the time when boys like to think they're men
She used to follow us at school
We really thought that she was a little fool
And one day we said to her
We don't want to hurt you girl
But you'd better
Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
So get off our playground and stay away
That's all that we've got to say
Suzy-hang-around
Suzy went home to Mama's arms
Mama said "Look, she's never done you no harm
So get off her back and let her be
Why can't you play together in harmony?"
We really didn't know what to say
But as soon as she went away
We laughed and said
Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
So get off our playground and stay away
That's all that we've got to say
Suzy-hang-around
Yes you'd better
Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
So get off our playground and stay away
That's all that we've got to say

<@#ABBA_When_All_Is_Said_And_Done.txt#@>
Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
We're still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed
With nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads,no desire to run
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
Standing calmly at the crossroads,no desire to run
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
<@#Ace_Of_Base_Angel_Eyes.txt#@>
I know that I'm not the first one
You have love in your path before me
But when your lips touched my lips
It felt like I was kissing destiny
Angel eyes with your angel eyes
Will you always be there to hold me
Angel eyes I'm satisfied
I don't want to hear your story
'Cause I can see the things
I really want to see
I'm in love
I believe in what I'm feeling
I'd give everything up just for you
Love is devoted to those who see
That the last dance, you dance with the truth
Angel eyes with your angel eyes
Will you always be there to hold me
Angel eyes I'm satisfied
I don't want to hear your story
'Cause I can see the things
I really want to see
In your eyes
Angel eyes just want you here to hold me
Angel eyes

Captain Nemo is too good for you and me
Take a voyage to the bottom of the sea
He's a riddle you will see in the middle of the sea
If you ask him things about life, then he will say:
Oh no, I'm far too continental for mankind
I don't interfere in your life
See me as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
Captain Nemo knows the world be we don't know
What control of light and darkness means
He'll show
If we come in peace at heart
He may help us to restart what went wrong
So long ago from down below
Oh no, I'm far too continental for mankind
I don't interfere in your life
See me as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
See him as a searcher with the answers to mankind
He's far too continental
Though he's wiser than all man
He is curious about the plan
Violated by the man, the master plan
Oh no, he's far too continental for mankind
He doesn't interfere in your life
See him as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
Oh no, he's far too continental for mankind
He doesn't interfere in your life
See him as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
Oh no, he's far too continental for mankind
Under the sea

Chorus:
Cuba, cuba here I come
There's a place in the caribbean sun
Land of future
Land of dreams
Checking for the coast
Cuban cigars
And the last glass in the bar
I see the rise and the fall
Of this down, downtown miami
Give me someone to dance with and love
When the sun goes down
While Fidel is growing his hair
(Chorus x 2)
Cuba, cuba libre
(It's Ace of base)
Cuba, cuba libre
Uh huh

Share in the sun
Givin' us some taps
That's still the one
Where coca cola and coke
Have arrived for consumers
It's so happy and poor
Little country down in the south
We like it
The people, the nature

Cuba, cuba libre
In the sun, in the south

Cuba, cuba libre
Uhmm ah ahh

The world is coming over to ya,to ya

Summer days (Summer days)
Lost in another way (uh yeah)
I was lost in another way (oh yeah)
Who was the man behind the mask
Exploring your secrets is no easy task
'Cause it happened long ago (oh yeah)
You told me the secrets of living large
And how to behave with my friend in the dark
Our story lingers on (oh yeah)
How I'm longing for you to give
Me some magic for us to live
If you told me it could be done
I'd believe
Summer days
At the sea
It was just you and me
I was lost in another way
Every day
Seconds ago
But why did you have to go?
A teardrop of rain is where you are
My perfect and gentle star of the stars
Our story lingers on (oh yeah)
How I'm longing for you to give
Me some magic for us to live
If you told me it could be done
I'd believe
Summer days
At the sea
It was just you and me
I was lost in another way
Every day

But why did you have to go?
I just want to find a way
'Cause I want to be with you again
That's the way it ought to be
Aha aha aha aha

At the sea (Let me know)
It was just you and me (Have to go)
I was lost in another way

Kiss me baby I am snow white sleeping in a coffin
Waiting for you - waiting for magic
Baby I am snow white sleeping in a coffin
Waiting for you - waiting for magic
A man of the world but lost in a dream
You look at something from a different angle
But I exist I'm waiting for you
In a coffin made of glass
Kiss me baby I'm attractive
Baby get to know me
Show who you are
Give me that magic
Baby I'm eternal
Lying in a coffin
Waiting for you
In your dream a girl is dancing close to you (that girl is me)
Once a witch made her sleep but a prince will wake her up that's you
Kiss me baby
In the tale is the place to find her
Reach out to get to know her
It means so much to me
The meaning of the book
Oh, kiss me baby wake me up
Oh, kiss me baby wake me up
Join the story of the fairytale
Believe the dream you will not fail
Oh, kiss me baby wake me up
Kiss me baby
Waiting for magic it's what I do
Waiting for magic for me and you
Oh, kiss me baby wake me up
Caught in a dream how lucky you are
You can see me I'm the girl behind you
So open your eyes and turn around
And watch me dancing join the fairy tales
Kiss me baby
You cannot reach her on the planet
That scientist want to call earth
But if you use your imagination
You will see her
You will find her in your dreams
I see no shadows in my dreams
It is something so romantic
I can tell it's for real you'll see
<@#Ace_Of_Base_Wonderful_Life.txt#@>
Here I go
Out to the sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky
And in my blue eyes
I know it feels unfair
There is magic everywhere
Look at me standing here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Sun's in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you are there
And I need a friend
Oh, oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
I stand here on my own
Oh oh oh ooh,
Look at me standing here
I'm here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
I need a friend
Oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
Not so alone
Look at me standing here
I'm here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide

No need to laugh and cry

There must be.. 50 ways to get Bin Laden,
The President just put a bounty on his head,
He doesn't care if he's alive or if he's dead,
We'll send commandos there to pump him full of lead,
There must be.. 50 ways to get Bin Laden,
50 ways to get Bin Laden,
You just stab him in the back, Jack,
Blow up the cave, Dave,
Step on his veil, Dale,
Just listen to me,
Hit him with a bus, Gus,
Then send in a scud, Bud,
Just hang him from a tree, Lee,
So we can stay free,
It will not grieve us, here, to see him in such pain,
We have to stop him cos he's totally insane,
He's gonna end up with a bullet in the brain,
There must be.. 50 ways to get Bin Laden,
He thought the us would give up without a fight,
But now he's gonna face the full force of our might,
We'll show Osama what is wrong and what is right,

The clock just hit 7:22
It's too cold outside
To wait for my ride
Watching mamma try out a new doo (Bruins)
He said he'd be here at seven
But it just hit 7:35 (already?)
Here in Brockton, Mass.,
I got my thumb in my ass
Mamma's combing up a big beehive (Celtics)
Where the fuck is he?

The bitch doesn't even bother calling
Even though it's 7:44 (I fell asleep, pally)
I'm feeling kinda antsy

Slicking back a wet pompadour (Red Sox)

In the side of his Harley
Mamma's on the phone with a stylist (Fuck Charlie!)
So I guess I ain't going out tonight
'Cause the digits say 12:09 (Shit-faced)
But call the operator
'Cause one perm later
Mamma's hair sure do look fine (Heffenreffer!!!)
Where the fuck is he? (Ah, ha ha! My stepfather was tellin' me a wicked funny

Where the fuck is he? (Ah, ha ha! I forgot it though)
I wish I had a car

And find out why Doug always has to change his sheets

Cracked her head like Gary Busey
But I still love her so

Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you
I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

We all heard what happened at the skating rink today
When Whitey brought up your sad past, you snapped and walked away
Well maybe they're onto something that you should give a try
Go ahead and let it out, and have yourself a cry
Let it out, Davey!
Aw shut your wooden mugs!
Let it out, Davey
Would you check out her bazugs?!
You all need to deal with pain? Well cheers is what I say
This here stuff just numbs the pain, it don't make it go away
You try to act so tough, but you just live a lie
Why don't you show your feminine side and have yourself a cry?
Let it out, Davey
I'll pour you down the sink
You gotta do it, Davey
Y'all can bite my dink
You labels and logos are wastin your time
Makin me sit here
Cause nothin you can say or do
Will make me shed a tear

And won't let down his guard

You fill our lives with joy
Don't ever change the way you are

Heres a little story
about a hockey team
who may just win the stanley cup
but only in there dreams
The team is from ottawa
the senators is there name
soon to be inducted in the golfing hall of fame
they say they'll beat our leafers
HA now there's a funny joke
cause every year at playoff time
the senators always choke
So 3 cheers for ottawa
a real team they are nottawa
they can give all that they gottawa
but the stanley cup will never go to Ottawa
Ottawa has their Parlament
and MPs in the news
and its kinda like their hockey team
they talk a lot but don't produce
there not the brightest either
I really have to say
when the capital of our country
spells Canada with a K (hey thats kanada)
Oh 3 cheers for Ottawa
they think they got a shottawa
they must be smokin pottawa
cuz the stanley cup will never go 2 ottawa
u better press your flood pants
its that time once again
2 here that familar ottawa senators saying
T off is at 10
so get ready for the crying
take out your hankerchief
you're about to get your ass kicked
by the toronto maple leafs
Oooh 3 cheers 4 ottawa
a lesson they'll be taughtawa
Hossa and Havlattawa
youll soon be golfing alotawa
What the hell else rhymes with Ottawa
not a whole heck of alotawa
there the team we already forgotawa
cuz the Stanley cup will never go to Ottawaaaaaaaa
<@#Adele_First_Love.txt#@>
So little to say but so much time,
Despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind.
Please wear the face, the one where you smile,
Because you lighten up my heart when I start to cry.
Forgive me first love, but I'm tired.
I need to get away to feel again.
Try to understand why, don't get so close to change my mind.
Please wipe that look out of your eyes, it's bribing me to doubt myself
Simply, it's tiring.
This love has dried up and stayed behind,
And if I stay I'll be alive,
Then choke on words I'd always hide.
Excuse me first love, but we're through.
I need to taste the kiss from someone new.
Forgive me first love, but I'm too tired.
I'm bored to say the least and I, I lack desire.
Forgive me first love, forgive me first love, forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love forgive me, forgive me first love, forgive me first love
<@#Adele_I_Found_A_Boy.txt#@>
I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true.
I fall short each time,
Every time he ain't here
You and your charm creep closer
Closer and near
Like a fool for fire, I fall, with my pride and all.
Like a bomb before explosion,
Ticking by your call,
You're the wiser one, disguised from greed,
And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.
But I found a boy who I love more,
Than I ever did you before,
So stand beside the river I cried,
And lay yourself down.
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
So, you thought that I'd crumble to my knees
At the first sight of you crawling back to me
To whisper "will you leave your man? "
Cause you swear that this time you can stand by me.
I won't stand by you.
Cause I found a boy who I love more,
Than I ever did you before,
So stand beside the river I cried
And lay yourself down.
Look how you want me now that I don't need you!
I ain't yours for no taking,
You must be mistaken
I could never look into your eyes, and settle for wrong
And ignore the right
When I found a boy who loves me more,
Than you ever did me before.
So stand beside the river you cried
And lay yourself down!
Look how you want me now that I don't need you!
<@#Adele_I_Miss_You.txt#@>
[Verse 1]
I want every single piece of you
I want your heaven and your oceans too
Treat me soft but touch me cruel
I wanna teach you things you never knew, ooh baby
Bring the floor up to my knees
Let me fall into your gravity
Then kiss me back to life to see
Your body standing over me
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, don't let the lights go down
Baby, don't let the lights go down
Baby, don't let the lights go down
Lights go down, lights go down
Lights go down, lights go down
Down, down, down
[Chorus]
I miss you when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby give me light
I miss you when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby give me light
[Verse 2]
I love the way your body moves
Towards me from across the room
Brushing past my every groove
No one has me like you do
Baby, bring your heart, I'll bring my soul
But be delicate with my ego
I wanna step into your great unknown
With you and me setting the tone
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby don't let the lights go down
Baby don't let the lights go down
Baby don't let the lights go down
Lights go down, lights go down
Lights go down, lights go down
Down, down, down
[Chorus]
I miss you when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby give me light
I miss you when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby give me light
[Bridge]
We play so dirty in the dark
Cause we are living worlds apart
It only makes it harder, baby
It only makes it harder, baby
Harder baby, harder baby
[Chorus]
I miss you when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby give me light
I miss you when the lights go out
It illuminates all of my doubts
Pull me in, hold me tight
Don't let go, baby give me light
[Outro]
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
<@#Adele_Lay_Me_Down.txt#@>
[Verse 1]
I would never lie to you unless you tell me to
Every part of me, all my words to hold
And hold against me, why won't you let it be?
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you ever say my love opened up your heart
No I'm not gonna do it standing up
The words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
[Chorus]
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (Won't you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (Someone believe me)
[Verse 2]
I would never break the rules unless you tell me to
You can read my mind, be it truth or lies
Lie down beside me, why won't you let it be?
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you ever say my love opened up your heart
No I'm not gonna do it standing up
The words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
[Chorus]
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (Won't you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (Someone believe me)
[Bridge]
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
[Chorus]
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (Won't you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (Someone believe me)
<@#Adele_Take_It_All.txt#@>
Didn't I give it all?
Tried my best
Gave you everything I had, everything and no less
Didn't I do it right? Did I let you down?
Maybe you got too used to having me 'round
Still how can you walk away
From all my tears
It's gonna be an empty road without me right here
But go on and take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all with my love, take it all with my love
Maybe I should leave, to help you see
Nothing is better than this and this is everything we need
So is it over? Is this really it, you're giving up so easily
I thought you loved me more than this
But go on, go on, take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all with my love, take it all with my love
I will change if I must
Slow it down and bring it home, I will adjust
Oh if only, if only you knew
Everything I do, is for you
But go on and take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it, take it all with you
Don't look back at this crumbling fool
Just take it all, with my love
Take it all with my love
Take it all with my love
<@#Adele_Think_That_I_Get_Told_The_Court.txt#@>
[Verse 1]
Looking for something I can be
The fact I don't think it would mean
The first half and I love the newspaper
And the only way you want a boycott of the best way
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I
I replaced with this
I, I, I, I
I replaced with this
I just want to see my friends to be able too many things that make
I love it so hard I don't think that I get told the court
I, I, I, I
I replaced with this
I, I, I, I
I replaced with this
I just want to see my friends to be able too many things that make
I love it so hard I don't think that I get told the court
[Bridge]
Feel what better chance can do for you
Feel what better chance can do for you
Feel what better chance can do for you
[Verse 2]
Instead it will take the first half and I have
Under pressure from the same as I am
Whoever you can get the same as a result of the bestselling
Great to have to do that in my room for a long day ahead with its own section
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I
I replaced with this
I, I, I, I
I replaced with this
I just want to see my friends to be able too many things that make
I love it so hard I don't think that I get told the court
I, I, I, I
I replaced with this
I, I, I, I
I replaced with this
I just want to see my friends to be able too many things that make
I love it so hard I don't think that I get told the court
[Bridge]
Feel what better chance can do for you
Feel what better chance can do for you
Feel what better chance can do for you
[Refrain]
Whoever you can get the same as a result of the bestselling
Great to have to do that in my room for a long day ahead with its own section
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I
I replaced with this
I, I, I, I

I just want to see my friends to be able too many things that make
I love it so hard I don't think that I get told the court

<@#Aerosmith_Angel.txt#@>
I'm alone, yeah, I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears and the cryin' that I do is for you
I want your love
Let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough
I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough
I've suffered and I've seen the light
[Chorus]
Bayayby, you're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it alright
Don't know what I'm gonna do about this feeling inside
Yes it's true, loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love I'm nothing but a beggar
Without your love a dog without a bone
What can I do? I'm sleepin' in this bed alone
[Chorus]
Come and save me tonight
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give when I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why
Baby, baby, bayayby
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Yeah, come and make it alright
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and take me alright
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight

<@#Aerosmith_Black_Cherry.txt#@>
It be night time when shadows fade
She was dressed like a chamber maid
All decked out in silk and I took her
Like a cat takes to milk
Come here little Queenie or...
Has the cat got your tongue?
Can't let nobody see me
Come on girl while we're still young
'Cause there's never been no lover's knot
Can tie you down 'cause you're so hot
Don't pinch me ass I may be dreamin'
Hope tonight that I'll be screamin'
Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry
I like it, I like it, I like it
She looked sheik in a funky way
Tongue in cheek baby all the way
Home girls they got pride, she said
'One time around' I said 'Let's go for a ride'
Come here little Queenie... Or ah
Has the cat got your tongue?
My best shot for a C note baby she said
That's why this Janie's got a gun
Because there's nothin' like a good time girl
To take you twice around the world
I'm so in lust I think I'm trippin'
So in love I think I'm slippin'
Down to the river, down to the river of love
Where the love runs deep it's so sad it's a love you can't keep
Down to the river, down to the river
Abover 42nd Street it's so sad
That the bad don't come cheap
Because there's nothing like a good time girl
To take you twice around the world
Right to the land of milk and honey
Leave your troubles, bring your money
Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry
I like it, I like it, I like it
<@#Aerosmith_Eat_The_Rich.txt#@>
Well I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of the bed
And how I got to thinkin'
About all those things you said
About ordinary people
And how they make you sick
And if callin' names kicks back on you
Then I hope this does the trick
'cause I'm sick of your complainin'
About how many bills
And I'm sick of all your bitchin'
'Bout your poodles and your pills
And I just can't see no humor
About your way of life
And I think I can do more for you
With this here fork and knife
Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they are good for
Eat the rich
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
Take one bite now - spit out the rest
So I called up my head shrinker
And I told him what I'd done
He said you best go on a diet
Yeah, I hope you have some fun
And a don't go burst the bubble
On rich folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get in no trouble
When you eats that kinda food
Now they're smokin' up their junk bonds
And then they go get stiff
And they're dancin' in the yacht club
With muff and uncle biff
But there's one good thing that happens
When you toss your pearls to swine
Their attitudes may taste like shit
But go real good with wine
Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they are good for
Eat the rich
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
Take one bite now - spit out the rest
Believe in all the good things
That money just can't buy
Then you won't get no bellyache
From eatin' humble pie
I believe in rags to riches
Your inheritance won't last
So take your gray poupon my friend
And shove it up your ass
Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they are good for
Eat the rich
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
Take one bite now - spit out the rest
Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they are good for
Eat the rich
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the rich
Don't stop me now, I'm goin' crazy
Eat the rich
That's my idea of a good time baby

<@#Aerosmith_Monkey_On_My_Back.txt#@>
The fortune teller looked into my eyeballs
The wrinkles on her face about to crack
She said 'you best believe it,
You ain't goin' nowhere, unless you get that
Monkey off your back'
I made believe the devil made me do it
I was the evil leader of the pack
You best believe I had it all and then I blew it
Feedin' that fuckin' monkey on my back
If you put it a spoon man I would boot it
Some king whose mental house was just a shack
Where do you draw the line when all your friends are dyin'
You got to get that monkey off your back
Uh, uh, uh....
Your crystal ball is where you chase the dragon
She said, 'now' I bring me home his head inside a sack
But now you find your crystal balls are draggin'
Got to get that monkey off your back

At first we three thought
'Twas the biblical cord of life
Then noticing 'twas connected to his head
How strange, not to believed
I reached out to feel, and the pony's eyes opened
The cord got hard, the head looked around
And you know who pushed and gushed
The waters of life
First two hooved feet, then the shine of his fur
But at first to my eyes only
Feather - feathers - wings
The butterflies flew up in such colors
Exploding all around us
The rest I did not see - till there he stood - all eyes in wonder
Who me - who you
Look

[Chorus:]
Can you be in love
When you live alone
Push comes to shove
When you're bitchin' on
Now look at every
I'm tonne on you without a doubt
Said the music does the talkin'
But all we heard is talk about
The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys, yeah
Rose said she was fine for two
With blonde hair, by crack it
Miles of blue
Suze, she was on my side
'Cause she and Nancy
Ah they took me for a ride
The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And they do, yeah the toys
Talk about it
Walk about it
Talk about it
Talkabubi
Talk about it
Talk about it...
Dedumdudidudi
[Chorus]
She looked, well, about thirty five to me
When mine was still comin' on to you
But I was covered back, back then
'Cause me and the boys
Knew hot courier
The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys in the attic
Her sister, she was lank and thin
Never thought I'd given in
Her candle of youth was burnin' low
But me and the boys
Knew something had to go
The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
Dededudidudu...
Talk about it
Walk about it
Talk about it
Talkabubi
Talk about it
Talk about it...

Huh!

There's a Red House over yonder
That's where my baby stays
There's a Red house over yonder
That's where my baby stays
I ain't been home to see my baby
Seems like 99 and one half days
Now wait a minute
I think something's wrong here
The key won't unlock this damn door
Now wait a minute
I think something's wrong here
The key won't unlock this fucking door
Something bad just because of it
My baby don't want me no more
That's her loss, that's my gain
I'm gonna head out back yonder, I think
Back yonder over the hill
I'm gonna head out back yonder, I think
Yonder over the hill
Over the hill
'Cause if my baby don't
Love me no more
I know her sister will

Get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
Coincidental murder, with nothing to show
When the judge's constipation go to his head
And his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
Gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
No smoothy face lawyer to getcha undone
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old story
Same old song and dance
Fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'
Your old time connection, change your direction
Ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend
When you're low down and dirty, from walkin' the street
With your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet
Say love ain't the same, on the south side of town
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old story
Same old song and dance

Goin' downtown, goin' down, goin' down
'neath the city, eatin' ground round
Underground is pretty gritty
I turned the screw she held the light
That's when I knew she was a
Sight for sore eyes
She was a sight for sore eyes
Playin' no fair, sleepin' under stairs
Downtown's a pity, takin' fair square
Under where it's pretty gritty
I turned the screw, she held the knife
Oh, holy jesus, she's a sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
She's a nitty grutty
Turnin' in style, walk a mile for your titty
Naked foul while under there
Under where it's pretty gritty
Hey, don't you know people
She's a love lust hussy
She left, oh she rust me
Dear old girl
She was a sight for sore eyes
But she was sittin' pretty
A sight for sore eyes
She was a nitty gritty
Sight for sore eyes
Peeled back and parted
Even at the start it was delight or demise
I feel like a leopard king
Sight for sore eyes
She was a sight for sore eyes

Send me down someone for me

Send me anybody you please
Somebody say you will
Somebody further still
Somebody, some, somebody for me
Now won't you send me somebody
Yeah, somebody
Won't you send me somebody

I never thought a first time love would ever last
How could a kiss like that
Knock me flat on my ass
The burning bed
The roses dead
And now I'm dancing with myself
Yeah,
I'm missing you
Just like you want me to
You made me trip into the grind
Now I can't get you off of my mind
Yeah,
Your sweet talking hip shaking wobble gonna blow a man away
Kiss butt, and guess what
Even double crossin' dogs have their day, ha
So forget about, regret about, you're right I ain't afraid to say
Yeah, I'm missing you
Just like you want me to
You made me trip into the grind
Now I can't get you off
And the more I try
Leads to the same old why
You made me slip into the grind
Now I can't get you off of the cloud we was on
And now it's all gone
Tell me why, why, why, why
Why ain't I getting through
Ain't no lie there out of love, love, love
Tell me was it good, for you
Tell me what you want
Yeah, cause I'm missing you

He wags his tail instead of his tongue

Now there ain't too much she won't do
Especially when we're all alone
You're up, you're down
You're always runnin' in place

You might get shot, babe
When you're shootin' the breeze
Yak yak yak

We all make mistakes
Yeah, but it's never to late to start again (yeah yeah)
Take another breath
And say another prayer
Then fly away from here
To anywhere
Yeah, I don't care
If we just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams
Are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
If this life
Gets any harder now
It ain't no nevermind
Ya got me by your side
And anytime you want (fly fly fly)
Yeah we catch a train
And find a better place
Yeah, 'cause we won't let nothin'
Or no one keep gettin' us down
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and hit the sky
Then fly away from

Yeah, I don't care
If we just fly away from here
And our hopes and dreams
Are out there somewhere
I won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
Do you see a bluer sky now
You could have a better ride now
Open your eyes
Because no one here can ever stop us
They can try but we won't let them
No way-ay-ay-ay-yeah-ah
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and say goodbye
Then fly away from here

Look through the rain see the leaves start to break
Once so alone like a prayer on the sea
Nothing to hide, so much there to see
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
The thoughts you wear like a long lost friend
Are buried so deep that you can't see them end
You know spring will come just as quick as you need
And run straight to you when the dark nights are freed
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid

You turn away

Standing on the edge again
It's not too late to try again
I need some...
[Chorus:]
Evidence of love
To keep on going
Show me some evidence of love
And I'll be here
I still believe we can see this through
There's only so much I can do
And it doesn't make sense
Without some evidence of love
There's a frozen look on your face
Is it saying goodbye
'Cause there's nothing as cold as the ashes
When the fire has died
Talk to me now
Tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now
And try to find your heart again
I need some...
[Chorus]
Stand and fight
Gotta say what's on your mind, baby
So much is on the line
Here's a chance to make it right

Talk to me now
And try to find your heart again
I need some...

When you say I miss the things you do,
I just want to get back close again to you.
But for now your voice is near enough.
How I miss you, and I miss you love.
And though all the days that pass me by so slow,
all the emptiness inside me flows all around,
and there's no way out.
I'm just thinkin' so much of you.
There was never any doubt.
I can wait forever if you say you'll be there too.
I can wait forever if you will.
I know it's worth it all to spend my life alone with you.
When it looked as though my life was wrong,
You took my love and gave it somewhere to belong.
I'll be here when hope is out of sight.
I just wish that I was next to you tonight.
And oh, I'll be reaching for you even though
You'll be somewhere else, my love.
We'll go like a bird on its way back home.
I could never let you go.
And I just want you to know
I can wait forever if you say you'll be there too.
I can wait forever if you will.
I know it's worth it all to spend my life alone with you.
Where are you now,
along with the thoughts we share?
Keep them strong somehow.
And you know I'll always be there.
I can wait forever if you say you'll be there too.
I can wait forever if you will.
I know it's worth it all to spend my life alone with you.

I can't say what I cannot do
It's been too long without someone
How could you let me sink this far away from you
Now you're here wondering why you can't get near
I can't get excited, can't get excited
There's a thousand things to do
I can't do anything with you
I can't get excited, can't get excited
You can see me look right through
I don't feel like I used to do
I'm turning back the pages now
I pleaded with you all so many times
Trying just to make you see
Hoping that I might be the one
So come down love me and it'll be alright
The time to bring back love is not tonight
I never thought I'd have to say
that you should leave and go your way
I can't get excited, can't get excited
There's a thousand things to do
I can't do anything with you
I can't get excited, can't get excited
You can see me look right through
I don't feel like I used to do
Not in love, still not in love with you
Not in love, I'm still not in love with you
Not in love, still not in love with you
Not in love
Tell me why you can't leave me lonely
Tell me why I'm taking a chance on you
Taking a chance on you
Taking a chance on you
Taking a chance on you

There's a thousand things to do
I can't do anything with you

I don't feel like I used to do
Can't get excited, I can't get excited

Hard as a diamond's eye
Soft as a last goodbye
These are the things we learn to be
Calm as a distant light
That shines on an island night
These are the thoughts that say:
It's not too late to tell you,
I know I wanna tell you
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling
Cold as the arctic ice
Hot as a passion's rise
These are the days I spend alone
Pure as an infant's heart
That beats through the light and dark
These are the pictures of you
Always getting closer
I wanna hold you closer
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there when love starts calling
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling
I only wish my heart
Could fly like it does
When I sit and dream
I'll never wake again
As I hold you tenderly
My thoughts were real
And being with you now is the only
Thought that's strong,
It's a lonely night, and I'm trying
To hold on...
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there when love starts calling
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling

Just waiting for my call
I wish I knew a Way
To give more than I do
I want to give it all

It doesn't happen every day
But it happened to me once before
Those early years I threw away
Now I only have to hear your voice
To make me feel so sure
That your love is why
I want to give it all
Don't the minutes fly
And hours just seem so few
With days apart so long
It's hard to spend my time
When I'm so far from you
And still you're always there
Just waiting for my call

To give more than I do

Honestly, how do we know what we need?
What can we believe?, help me to know this is real.

If I give it all, if I give it all away.
We could have it all, we could have it all this way.

Followed my heart, but it was sinking.
If you love me say that you love me,
I'll say I love you too.
If you love me say that you need me,
I'll give my love to you.
Broken dreams are never really what they seem,
Somewhere in between you can give all your troubles to me.
I don't know how far we are meant to go,
If you tell me so that is where I want to be.

If I give it all, if I give it all away.
We could have it all, we could have it all this way.

Followed my heart, but it was sinking.

I'll say I love you too.
If you love me say that you need me,
I'll give my love to you.
If you love me say that you love me,

If you love me say that you need me,
I'll give my love to you.
I'll give my love to you.

Seems like forever (and a day), thought I could never (feel this way)
Is this really me? I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive - and the dawn breaks across the sky
I'm alive - and the sun rises up so high
Lost in another world (far away), never another word (till today)
But what can I say? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Suddenly came the dawn (from the night), suddenly I was born (into light)
How can it be real? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Take the river to the highest mountain
Take the ocean to the farthest sea
I'd take back everything I've said to hurt you
If you'd come back to me
I'd bring you fire from the frozen waters
Leave a flower 'neath a fallen tree
I'd take back everything I said to scare you
Away from me
Two hands can feel so much more
That's what I'm loving you for
I was too blind to see fear was inside of me
I'm not afraid anymore
[Chorus]
It's never too late, it's never too late
To forgive and forget
Tell me that it isn't over, tell me that it isn't over
I'll never hold you again
If a broken wing can still be mended
Then a foolish heart can still be true
Take the river to the highest mountain
That's where I'll wait for you
Two hearts can feel so much more
That's what I'm loving you for
The man that you tried to free
Is still locked inside of me
And your heart must open the door

And the money she gave me, wasn't enough to pay the rent,
But before I get some all my money's long been spent,
It's nice to get away from all the noise back home
It's harmless in a way we don't have that far to go.
And in June we're three,
And it's nice, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you.
With the rain came freedom, never was one more word so true
In the ragged morning then the word came alive in you
And I tried, and I tried for you
It's not easy, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you.
All the food that we could buy wasn't enough to keep just one alive.
But we came through summer letting autumn close your eyes.
And I tried, and I tried for you.
I can take it, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you.
It's not easy, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you, that's all.

I stand alone I'm just a face in the crowd
I get lonely if the truth be said
Sometimes I want to cry out loud
But I try to understand instead
I wish I had the strength inside to walk
Right up to you
I'd never have to hide behind these
Doubts I know are true
It's not too late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the one you're
Thinking of
It's not too late so don't run away
I need you too, but it's hard for me
So hard for me to say
So I listen for the perfect moment
To rush to you but my heart's too slow
Everybody here can see me stumble
Better wait until the lights get low
Wish I had the strength inside to walk
Right up to you
I wouldn't have to hide behind these
Doubts I know are true
It's not too late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the one your
Thinking of
It's not too late so don't run away
I need you too
But it's hard for me
Yes it's hard for me
Yes it's hard for me
So hard for me to say
It's not too late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the one you're
Thinking of
It's not too late so don't run away
I need you too, but it's hard for me
So hard for me to say

(graham russell)
I'll always need a friend
One I can defend
All I've got to give
Is do you want to live
With me every day till I pass away
I've been sitting here
Frightened stiff with fear
Love has brought it on
And it must go on
Being here with you,
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines
And here we are, here we are
All alone for me to take
And here you are, here you are
All alone for me to take
Fell in love today
Little words to say
Let us close the door
That's what doors are for
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines
I'll always need a friend
One I can defend
All I've got to give
Is do you want to live
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines

I never saw it happen
I never saw the flame
I never new how much there was
To lose and gain
But when the sun was taken
You never shone so bright
And from a place we'd long forgotten
The blind were given sight
If there's one thing I must do
It's to say I love you to
It's the one thing I'm so sure of
(chorus)
If I hold you now from my point of view
Will you show me how to be close to you
If the dawn should break and you're
Far away
Can you ever know what I need to say
I can see how much I was taking it all
For granted
Among the silent victims
Only the wind would moan
And for a time I felt us touch
The great unknown
For that eternal moment
Oh what a price to pay
With nothing left but all we have
We slowly walked away
If there's one thing I must do
It's to say I love you too
It's the one thing I'm so sure of
(chorus)
So give life to your dreams
For there lies your survival
And cast your heart beyond those
Faded scenes
And I'll bring you through that storm
Yes I'll bring you back
(chorus)

When love is new
And the world is out reaching for you
We try hard to hold it all
In our hands
But it slips through
Like soft drifting sands
But drying the tears
Can build it all like new
[Chorus:]
Now and forever
Remember the words
From my heart will always be true
Now and forever
Together and all that I feel
Here's my love for you
Learning each day
That the right time was so far away
To tell you the things I knew
Now it's clear
That the moment
We searched for is here
And counting the years
Is all I want to do
[Chorus]
Hold me as close
As love will allow
Until all your fears are gone
What has all passed
Is over now
I'm here with you
I'm here with you
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Is my love for you
[Chorus]

Across the concrete sky come walk with me
Something we need to know
Something we need to see
Is it love, yes its love
Only love that is growing inside me
If it's love, yes it's love
Only love, is the pillar of plenty
You, you make me feel, this is all I need
And it's all so real
You help me understand, where I want to be
When I touch your hand
I can see to the shadow of the sun
We can be in the shadow of the sun
Untie the sails, the shore will melt away
Without a trace, I hear the raven say
When it's love, this is love, when it's love
That we must know we must enter
This is love, this is love, only love
When the dove is descended
You are the winding stream going to somewhere
That we' ve never seen
You, are the dare to dream and the silent scream
And the final prayer
I can see to the shadow of the sun
We can be in the shadow of the sun
Reach out for the shadow of the sun
Cry out for the shadow of the sun
You are the colors of the wind
Singing hopes, eternal spring
In a symphony for every lonely year
You are the keeper of the key
And the one that longs to be
The light for each and every frozen tear
<@#Air_Supply_Stronger_Than_The_Night.txt#@>
Tonight you are the world to me, part of the mystery
And we don't need a reason to love
Say you'll never go, that's all I need to know
And when you close your eyes, I'll still be here
And if the world falls
You will be the only reason to love
I'll find my way
One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night
If you hold me now, all that I feel is yours
'cause' you're the only reason to love
What you are to me, is all that you need to be
And when you touch the stars, I will be there
And when the world falls away
I will be your only reason to love
I'll find my way
One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night
One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night

I feel just like your love tonight
So who's to say I'm wrong
I've got to say I feel just right
It's never been so strong
There seems so many points to make
But I feel this is a big mistake
We're so old and this is new
And I've really got to tell you
I always said that we should remain free
But that was up to you and not to me
I started strong but I've met someone
You know how long it's been
That's how the whole thing started
That's how the whole thing started
Baby baby it's wrong
But I've been in and out of love so long
Here we stand not more than friends
I broke your heart again
I've gone and met someone
That's how the whole thing started
That's how the whole thing started
That's how the whole thing started
That's how the whole thing started

I was down my dreams were wearing thin
When you're lost where do you begin
My heart always seemed to drift from day to day
Looking for the love that never came my way
Then you smiled and I reached out to you
I could tell you were lonely too
One look and then it all began for you and me
The moment that we touched I knew that there would be
Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe you're mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people
In the world tonight
Just to think what I might have missed
Looking back how did I exist
I dreamed, still I never thought I'd come this far
But miracles come true, I know 'cause here we are
Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe you're mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people
In the world tonight
Tonight I fell in love with you
And all the things I never knew
Seemed to come to me somehow
Baby, love is here and now there's
Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe you're mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is parson brown
He'll say are you married, we'll say no man
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mr. snowman
Until the other kids knock him down
When it snows, ain't it thrillin'
Though your nose gets chillin'
We'll frolic and play the eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

Intro:
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Hhhmmm
Maybe surrounded by
A million people
I still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know
That it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I've got to go home
Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like
I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you
Could not come along with me
That this is not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day
Has come and gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I'm surrounded by
A million people
I still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home
<@#Aiza_Seguerra_One_And_Only_You.txt#@>
It took one look
And forever laid out in front of me
One smile and I died
Only to be revived by you
There I was
Thought I had everything figured out
Goes to show just how much I know
'Bout the way life plays out...
Chorus:
I take one step away
Then I find myself coming back to you
My one and only, one and only you... Ooh...
Now I know
That I know not a thing at all
Except the fact that I am yours
And that you are mine
Ooh
They told me that this wouldn't be easy
And no
I'm not one to complain...
Chorusx2:
I take one step away
When I find myself coming back to you
My one and only, one and only you... Ooh...

How thoughtless
I had sometimes been
I hurt you so badly
But now I feel the pain
I talked to you as if
I knew just everything
Maybe I didn't lose
But I know I didn't win
How careless
I had sometimes been
I gave you the heartache
But I felt the pain
I wanted to tell you
How much I love you so
I know I'd been careless
I forgot to let you know
Sorry, I'm so sorry
I didn't mean to hurt you
You know I got hurt too
Sorry, I'm so sorry
I didn't mean to break your heart
Please let me make a brand new start
How crazy
I had sometimes been
I hurt you so badly
But now I feel the pain
Next time I'll know better
I'll have more time for you
I'll listen to your heart
Just like you asked me to
Sorry, I'm so sorry
I didn't mean to hurt you
You know I got hurt too
Sorry, I'm so sorry
Forgive my many faults
And the foolish things I've done
I was so insensitive
And I didn't understand
Sorry, I'm so sorry
I didn't mean to hurt you
You know I got hurt too
Sorry, I'm so sorry
I didn't mean to break your heart
Please let me make a brand new start

There's a road that I remember leading to a special place
Where the door was always open to a smiling face
There's a picture on the mantle of a boy that looks like me
It's always the same, there's a stocking with my name
And a candle in the window, a flame against the night
There's a candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window
Maybe it's just wishful thiking I can hear the sleigh bells ring
Almost taste teh pie she's baking, it's Christmas Eve
And there's a candle in the window, a flame against the night
The candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart
Wherever the years may take me no matter how far I go
There's going to be a candle burning, it's always nice to know
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart

Christmas in Dixie, it's snowin' in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight
It's windy in Chicago. The kids are out of school
There's magic in Motown. The city's on the move
In Jackson, Mississippi, to Charlotte, Caroline
And all across the nation, it's the peaceful Christmas time

And from Fort Payne, Alabama
God bless why'all...We love ya...Happy New Year...Good night

You can have your buildings and your arithmetic
I don't need no crowded streets or city slicker tricks
I just need to be some place where I can move around
Look down at my toes and I can still see the ground
Give me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
(Give me the country side)
Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side
Goin' down to the fishing pond where I can throw the line
It don't' matter what fish I catch I only came to rest my mind
The only fish you'll get down town ain't caught with a hook and sinker
Put on your brakes, beep beep, honk your horn look out now turn on your
blinker
Give me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
(Give me the country side)
Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side
Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side
I was born in Georgia town with a lack-a-daisy street
A laid back lover just a-playin' games and a-stayin' off of them feet
Nobody trying to get on your nerves, nobody tryin' to get what you've got
And just live and let live by the golden rule now don't it just hit the spot
Give me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
(Give me the country side)
Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side
Give me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side

I've been goin' around in a whirlwind not knowing which way to go.
I've been lost in a jungle of heartaches looking for what I don't know
I've spread my wings and I've done some things that I never meant to do.
Its took me some time but I've made up my mind, I'm hanging up my travelin

[Chorus]
Hangin' up my travelin shoes.
My runnin' around is all through.
I'm foldin' my wings up for you.
I'm hangin' up my travelin' shoes.
I've been ridin' a sea of uncertainty, runnin' away fom is all.
I've listened to nothing that life had to tell me,
Watched all my dreams rise and fall.
I've made my mistakes, but it's not too late to pull myself out of the blues.
Its took me some time but I've made up my mind, I'm hanging up my travelin
shoes.
[Chorus]
Hangin' up travelin' shows.

You know I never knew they ran so deep

You were gettin' ready to give me call
'Cause you were feelin' so alone

I hope you don't mind me saying

Was it just my imagination
Or a "come on" look from you
Did your eyes ask me to question
Or did I misinterpret you?
I don't know the man at your table
But I wish you tell him goodbye
And the looks in your eyes keep saying
'I wanna be with you tonight'
I hope you know what I'm thinking
I hope you can read my mind
I hope you don't mind me saying

As he turned you around the dance floor
Our eyes continue to meet
As he folds his arms around you
You heart gets closer to me
Both of us may be strangers
But looks are hard to disguise
And the looks in your eyes keep saying
'I wanna be with you tonight'
I hope you know what I'm thinking
I hope you can read my mind

Do these lips of mine send chills down your spine
Like they used to?
Or is it slipping away? Baby, come out and say

I just need to know is the magic still there
Oh I still recall our first time together
Oh we kissed and we touched, we couldn't get enough of each other
And when we said goodnight beneath that old porch light
It left us wanting more
But I'm wondering now if time has somehow
Changed what we felt before
Is the magic still there whenever I hold you?
Do these lips of mine send chills down your spine
Like they used to?
Or is it slipping away? Baby come out and say
I'm asking because I care

Am I still the one that you daydream of?
When we turn out the light, is there fire in the night
When we make love?
Don't want to take you for granted so baby I'm askin'
Only because I care
I just want to know
Is the magic still there whenever I hold you?
Do these lips of mine send chills down your spine

Spend the day be'in lazy.
Just be'in natures friend.
Climb a long tall hickery.

My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooh
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl
I've even got the month of May
With my girl
<@#Alabama_Still_Goin_Strong.txt#@>
Through the years
We've had our ups and downs
Ain't been a block
We haven't been around
We've been one step up
And two steps back
But our love's gotten
Right back on track
We're still goin' strong
Like a freight train
Burnin' on a midnight run
We're rollin' right along
Still goin' strong
In tryin' times
When push came down to shove
We'd pull together
And show what we're made of
With a lot of love
And a little faith
We moved every mountain
In our way
We're still goin' strong
With a fire that's hotter
Than the desert sun
We're still turnin' on
Still goin' strong
It's still as good
As it's ever been
Our love's just gettin'
It's second wind
We're still goin' strong
Two hearts poundin'
Like a rock and roll drum
Lovin' all night long
Still goin' strong
We're still goin' strong
Like a freight train
Burnin' on a midnight run
We're rollin' right along
Still goin' strong
Still goin' strong
Goin' strong
Still goin' strong
Goin' strong
Still goin' strong
Goin' strong

The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall
The things that you say to me
The look on your face
Brings out the man in me
Do I see a trace in your eyes of love
The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall
Could I be dreamin'
Is this really real
'Cause there's something magic
The way that I feel in your arms tonight
The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall
Keep fallin', oh, yeah, yeah, keep fallin', mm, fallin', oh, yeah, yeah, I'm
fallin'
Yes, I'm fallin' (Yes, I'm fallin' Yes, I'm fallin')
Yes, I'm fallin' (Yes, I'm fallin' Yes, I'm fallin')
Yes, we're fallin' (Yes, we're fallin' Yes, we're fallin')
The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall
The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall

You took me for a fool
Then you took me for a ride
You really had me going
Till I looked into your lies
I let you keep me hangin' on
But honey here's where I get off
It's the end of the lyin'
And I can't stand no more denyin'
It's all over but the cryin'
Honey it's the end of the line
Don't tell me a story
I don't care where you've been
Girl I'm out for glory
And I won't be back again
I let you keep me hangin' on
But honey here's where I get off

Lead vocal: marti webb
This golden day will be mine
For every moment in time
If time should lose her way
A symphony in the night
Of stars that dance in the light
And music far away
They say that love is but a dance
Don't let the music fade away
Don't let the moment pass
Without reason or rhyme
The sweet bouquet of the wine
Will vanish in the air
The innocence of the rose
She leaves where she goes
For all the world to share
Some days when clouds are drifting by
I open my eyes and watch them go
And wonder where they fly
Some nights orion runs too fast
I look to the stars as if to say
Don't let the moment pass
But soon a golden age is past
Just when it seemed that miracles
Where not too much to ask
And though the world may turn too fast
If it should seem like paradise
Don't let the moment pass

Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up
And how do we spend our lives if there's no-one to lend us a hand
I don't want to live here no more,
I don't want to stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,
Quietly fading away
Games people play,
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say,

If I promise you the Moon and the Stars,
Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up
And how do we spend our time knowin' nobody gives us a damn
I don't want to live here no more,

Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,
Quietly fading away

Another passenger
"your baggage thank you sir"
I don't wanna go
What am I doing here
I feel so sick with fear
God don't let it show
I must control myself
You must control me too
Cover my eyes cause I'm so high
I can't look down
I'm scared to fly and I'm so high
I can't look down
They say they'll care for me
But I would rather be
Both feet on the ground
What if the engine dies
These are no friendly skies'
My head's spining round
It's all a twist of fate
But it's myself I hate
Cover my eyes cause I'm so high
I can't look down
Afraid to fly and I'm so high
I can't look down
I must control myself
You must control me too
Cover my eyes cause I'm so high
I can't look down
Afraid to fly and I'm so high
I can't look down
I can't look down.....

Nothing's good the news is bad
The heat goes on and it drives you mad
Scornful thoughts that fly your way
You should turn away cause there's nothing more to say
You gave the best you had to give
You only had one life to live
You fought so hard you were a slave
After all you gave there was nothing left to save
You've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose)
No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd want to be standing in your shoes)
Nothing ventured nothing gained
No more lingering doubt remained
Nothing sacred or profane
Everything to gain
Cause you've nothing left

(elliott, english)
Where does a dream belong
Locked in the mind on the edge of time
Like a ship lost in a storm
How do we find the key
Longing to see, through the artist's eye
Maybe only birds can fly
The man must be insane who knows
A mind alive with images so strange
So close but never rode the sky
Watching the birds as they sail on the wind
Trying to figure out the reason why
Picturing wings held together with string
One day to fly
Someone said and I believe
Try if you dare, you can walk on air
A dream is all you need
A circle that takes you high
Lighter than air as the earth goes by
Through a spiral in the sky
The man must be insane who knows
A mind alive with images so strange
So close but never rode the sky
Watching the birds as they sail on the wind
Trying to figure out the reason why
Picturing wings held together with string
Just a charcoal sketch on canvas
Made them laugh but now they see
That the artist had a vision
That the wind could set us free
It's a bridge until tomarrow
Taking us beyond the sun
As the artist paints his picture
The story's just begun
Analyzing, criticizing
Fear of the unknown
Theorizing, visualizing
The road to take us home
If it takes forever
Someone's gonna fly
We may never get to heaven
But still we're gonna try
Watching the birds
As they sail on the wind
One day to fly

Oh oh gimme one
Gimme one good reason why I should listen to you
I need one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Under your thumb ain't no place to hide
I can't choose and I can't decide
Gotta be a better way

No win no lose no give and no take

And I don't wanna ask you again and again
For one good reason why I should listen to you

Under your spell ain't no place to be
Don't mess around with a fool like me

I know the truth
But I can't say
And I have to turn my head
And look the other way
I'm not afraid
And I won't lie
As long as I see no wrong
I won't need to testify
I see the world
And I'm looking from a high place
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground
I breathe the air
While they're running in a rat race
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground
I feel the blow
But I don't speak
And I have to close my eyes
Pretending I'm asleep
Well I see the tears
But I don't cry
As long as I do no wrong
I don't need an alibi
I see the world
And I'm looking from a high place
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground
I breathe the air
While they're running in a rat race
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground

Round your finger
Token of the love we give one another
Music of the future that we'll discover
Promises to keep more than any other
Symbolising all that we share
The ring is magic
The ring is power
Like a candle in the dark for everyone to see
The ring is madness
The ring is fire
And it burns with all the brightness of the sun
In a circle
Living in a world of perpetual motion
Turning with the tide of a restless ocean
Spinning on the wheel of your own emotion
Ridin on a wild carrousel
You'll be turning round and round
Round and round we go
Promises, promises, promises, promises
Round your finger
After all the years we've been together
Walking in the sun and stormy weather
Sharing in a moment to last forever
Memories and dreams without end
The ring is magic
The ring is power
And it finds you in the darkness of the night
The ring is madness
The ring is fire
And it guides you when you're blinded by the light
The ring is magic
The ring is power
Like a candle in the dark for all to see
The ring is madness
The ring is fire
And it burns with all the brightness of the sun
The ring is magic, magic, fire, fire
The ring is mine

Tell me what to do
Now the light in my life is gone from me
Is it always the same
Is the night never ending
Tell me what to do
All the hopes and the dreams went wrong for me
There's a smile on my face
But I'm only pretending
Taking my life
One day at a time
Cause I can't think what else to do
Taking some time
To make up my mind
When there's no one to ask but you
The same old sun would shine in the morning
The same bright eyes would welcome me home
And the moon would rise way over my head
And get through the night alone
And the same old sun will shine in the morning
The same bright stars will welcome me home
And the clouds will rise way over my head
I'll get through the night on my own
Tell me what to do
Now there's nobody watching over me
If I seem to be calm
Well it's all an illusion
Tell me what to do
When the fear of the night comes over me
There's a smile on my face
Just to hide the confusion
Taking my life
One day at a time
Cause I can't think what else to do
Taking some time
To make up my mind
When there's no one to ask but you
The same old sun would shine in the morning
The same bright eyes would welcome me home
And the moon would rise way over my head
And get through the night alone
And the same old sun will shine in the morning
The same bright stars will welcome me home
And the clouds will rise way over my head
I'll get through the night on my own

It's almost a feeling you can touch in the air
You look all around you, but nobody's there
It's been a long time now since you've been aware
That somebody's watching you
He's gonna get you
Sooner or later when your big chances come
You'll look for the catches, but there'll be none
Remember before you grab the money and run
That someone is watching you
He's gonna get you.
Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
'Cause you can't escape the voice
Jumping with shadows that come up from behind
You're scared of the darkness that's there in your mind
You're frightened to move because of what you might find
Someone is watching you
He's gonna get you.
Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
'Cause you can't escape the voice

There must be a thousand ways
Holding us within this maze
Every path we take leads us astray
Comfort me my only son
Till the day my work is done
There's no earthly reason we should stay
And when the wind gets under these wings
You will feel what freedom brings
Stay right by me, walk don't run
I don't want you flying too close to the sun
Turn your eyes towards the light
Steal away in silent flight
The skies are calling out to you and me
Over sea and over land
God protect us with your hand
Bring us safely to our destiny
And now the wind is under our wings
We can taste what freedom brings
Stay right by me, walk don't run
I don't want you flying too close to the sun
God forgive his fall from grace
The sea conceals his resting place
Can we learn to stay behind the line
If we have the means to fly
Some of us will surely die
Being reckless was his only crime
And now the wind is under our wings
We can taste what freedom brings
Stay right by me, walk don't run
I don't want you flying too close to the sun

Somehow you made it in the big wide world
And you're absolutely home and dry
You got away from a one horse town
And the only way out was to fly
You heard a lot about an easy street
And it seems like the place to be
You heard some talk about a slippery slope
But you think "it can't happen to me"
Vulture culture
Use it or you lose it
Vulture culture
Choose it or refuse it
Hollywood is calling won't you join the dance
Moving onto Wall Street why not take a chance
It's a vulture culture
Never lend a loser a hand
Just a vulture culture
Living off the fat of the land
Nowhere to turn around and catch your breath
It's all relatively trouble free
No need to bother with the bottom line
Or a money back guarantee
You sign a deal that's been etched in stone
It's absolutely cut and dry
That's when they got you in the danger zone
And the only way out is to die
Vulture culture
Use it or you lose it
Vulture culture
Choose it or refuse it
Hollywood is waiting striking up the band
Everyone on Wall Street shakes you by the hand
Such a vulture culture
Never lend a loser a hand
Just a vulture culture
Living off the fat of the land
Use it or you lose it
Choose it or refuse it
Hollywood's a no go not a second chance
Nobody on Wall Street gives a second glance
It's a vulture culture
Moving to the beat of the band
It's a vulture culture
Never lend a loser a hand
It's just a vulture culture
Living off the fat of the land

Lyrics by Alan Parsons
You drink the wine
You play the fool
You cross the line
You lose your cool
But no one cares
Still no one cares
You raise the bar
Lost in a trance
One bridge too far
No second chance
But no one cares
Still no one cares
We play the game
We hold our own
We fight to win
We stand alone
You had a dream
You cast the dice
Your shady scheme
You paid the price
But no one cares
Still no one cares
We play the game
With hearts of stone
You lose again
You're on your own
A turning tide
A streak of light
Arms open wide
The end's in sight
And someone cares
Yes someone cares
We play the game
We hold our own
We fight to win
We stand alone

You're such a cool woman but I love you
Such a cruel woman but I love you
Open up your eyes and realize
You're such a fool woman but I love you
But give me all that you've got to give
Cause it sure feels good to me
I'm not your only man I'm just your lover
Not your only man just another
Open up your eyes and realize
I'm gonna take what I can like any other
I'll say any damned thing that you want me to
Cause it don't mean a thing to me
Well
You lie down with dogs you fall in with thieves
You're gonna catch something but you do as you please
You're scratchin' an itch that nothing can ease
You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas
Get out and find yourself another lover
Why don't you find yourself another lover
Open up your eyes and realize
You don't mean nothing to me I'm not your mother
You gave me all that you had to give
But there's a whole lotta fish in the sea
Well
You lie down with dogs you fall in with thieves
You're gonna catch something but you do as you please
You're scratchin' an itch that nothing can ease
You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas
You lie down with dogs you fall in with thieves
You're gonna catch something but you do as you please
You're gonna catch something but you do as you please
You're scratchin' an itch that nothing can ease
Ooo, you fall and you fall and you fall and you fall
You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas

In the bleak mid-winter frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow
In the bleak mid-winter, long ago
Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain
Heav'n and earth shall flee away, when He comes to reign
In the bleak mid-winter a stable-place sufficed
God The Lord Almighty, Jesus Christ
Enough for him whom cherubim worship night and day
A breastful of milk and a manger full of hay
Enough for him whom angels fall down before
The ox and ass and camel which adore
What can I give Him poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man I would do my part
Yet what I can I give Him, give my heart

A hundred numbers on my wall
Some with names I sometimes call
I drop a coin and watch it fall
Tryin' to get connected to you
A thousand hours all alone
My softest pillow turns hard as stone
This is the longest night on my own
Lying here thinking of you
Sometimes I shake my head
And laugh to myself
I'd like start again with somebody else
I'm like a broken toy forgotten on the shelf
[Chorus]
Baby, I could have been someone
I could have been something
It would have been nothing to die for you
Baby, you're going to need me
You'd better believe me
It would have been easy to die for you
A milloin memories flood my brain
Drown my sorrow
Kill my pain
Wets my thirst for you again
Just another night to get through
All my neighbors scream for quite at my door
Shattered glass and torn up photos thrown on the floor
Well, I couldn't stand to see your pictures anymore
[Chorus]
These cuts are deep but you plead innocent
Are you hell or are you heaven-sent?
You're much too cold to know how much
You meant to me, yeah
A billion tear drops fallen from my eyes
But it's just a joke now
And I'm laughing at your lies
You made me hard as rock and now I realize

He told me "Son, I've really got you now, boy"
So come on, little cowboy
Go buck and fuck and make a buck
Gonna show me how, boy?
I wish you lots and lots of luck
Are you leavin' now, boy?
Hey, Dad...try and keep this sacred
Hey, Dad...how'd you hide the hatred
I just want to tell you you're a lousy Dad to hell with you
Enough's enough's enough's enough
When my mother died, she laid in bed and cried:
"I'm going to miss you, my brave little cowboy"
I saw my father smile (a smile he tried to hide)
He told me "Son, I've really got you now, boy"
Come on, little cowboy
Enough!
Eeeeeenough!
Go fuck and fuck and make a buck
Come and show me how, boy
You're going to need a lot of luck
Mommy's little cowboy
Hey, Dad...try and keep this sacred
Hey, Dad...how'd you hide the hatred
I just want to tell you you're a lousy Dad to hell with you
Enough's enough's enough's enough
Enough's enough's enough's enough

You beat my head right in the ground

I can't take it no more
So give the radio...
Yeah, give the radio back
Give the radio back to the maniacs, to the maniacs..
Well, there's a party going on outside
All my friends got ya terrified
Don't call the cops, call the State Police
Don't break up this blown-out symphony
You think I'm wasting all my precious time
You say my music oughta be a crime

I got a ticket to nowhere
I got no respect for the law
I got no use 'cause it's all abuse
It's the cutting edge of the saw
Ain't got no tiime for the future
Ain't got no time for the past
I'm running up a down escalator
I'm going nowhere fast
I'm hanging on like a spider
Blowing in the wind
This storm's gonna tear a hole
Right through this web I'm in
[Chorus:]
Thunder lightning
The wind outside is so damn frightening
But it's alright, all right
Stand clear
You're living in the hurricane years
In the hurricane years
I've been through major destruction
I've seen through terrorists' eyes
Sometims I feel no emotion
Sometims I break down and cry
I need to walk on a wire
I need a layer of skin
I need a preacher breathing fire
To burn away my sins
And I can't help the victims
On the side of the road
And I can't stop the cyclone
That's about to explode
[Chorus]
Turn my eyes to heaven
Watching all the clouds roll by
I see the blood moon rising
I know I'm way too young to die
[Chorus]
<@#Alice_Cooper_I_Am_The_Future.txt#@>
When does a dream become a nightmare?
When do we do what must be done?
When do we stand and face the future?
When there is nowhere left to run?
And you've got to learn
Just how to survive
You've got to learn
How to keep your dream alive
Take a look at my face
I am the future
How do you like what you see?
Take a look at my face
I belong to the future
And you belong to me
When does a dream become a nightmare?
When do we learn to live with fear?
When we cry out for some salvation?
Why is it no one seems to hear?
You've got to learn
It's up to you
If you can learn
That the dream just might come true
Take a look at my face
I am the future
How do you like what you see?
Take a look at my face
I belong to the future
The world belongs to me, yeah
Take a look at my face
I am the future
Now, how do you like what you see?
Take a look at my face
I belong to the future
And the world it belongs to me
It belongs to me
It's all mine
Just take a look at my face
I'm the future, no disgrace
Take a look at my face
This world belongs to... To me

I'm in control, I got a bulletproof soul
And I'm full of self-esteem
I invented myself with no one's help
I'm a prototype supreme
I sit on my private throne
And run my lifestyle all alone
Me, myself and I agree
We don't need nobobdy else
I never learned to bow, bend or crawl
To any known authority
I really want to build my statue tall
That's all
I'm just trying to be God
I only want to be God
I just want to be God
Why can't I be God
I got no time to take advice
I want to gamble with my eternity with loaded dice
I don't need a preacher in my face
When I'm the omnipresent ruler of the human race
Ain't gonna spend my life being no one's fool
I was born to rock and I was born to rule
But if I'm wrong on judgement day
I'm royally screwed with hell to pay
I never learned to bow, bend or crawl
To any known authority
I really want to build my statue tall
That's all
I'm just trying to be God
I only want to be God
I just want to be God
Why can't I be God
I'm just trying to be God
I only want to be God

<@#Alice_Cooper_Im_Always_Chasing_Rainbows.txt#@>
At the end of the rainbow, there's happiness
And to find it how often I've tried
But my life is a race, just a wild goose chase
and all my dreams have been denied
Why have I always been a failure
What can the reason be
I wonder if the world's to blame
I wonder if it could be me
I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
And some fellows make a winning sometime
And I never even make a gain
I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find the little bluebird in vain.

Wrap your fingers all around me, I'm your g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-gun....
Well...
I'm dressed in black
I'm a heart attack
And my draw is lightning quick
If you're looking for a man with magic hands
I can really do the trick
And if you see me on the street
And you're burnin' from the heat
There's a fire down below
You be the target on the bed
I'll be shootin' hot lead
Let me take control
You're a scared little girl in this big, bad town

So easy to sink, so easy to drown

Pull my trigger, I get bigger

Well, I'm as hard as they come
I'm a hit and run
I'm a pistol packin' boy
Better walk real slow
I'm on the edge, why'know
And I'm easily annoyed
If something's giving you trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just call me on the line
I've got a muscle I can flex
It'll fog your little specs
Till you think you're going blind
I know these streets like the scars on my back
(You.......... need............. some............... one)
And I stay as loaded as this gun on my back
(Who..........will................. be.....................strong)
Pull my trigger, I get bigger

You, me
Understand
Shake my hand
Last chance, little man
Ain't it grand
It's a bargain, it's a steal
30 pieces of silver
And a deal's a deal
Sign upon the dotted line
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Nothing's free
Eventually
Nothing's free
From the rules and laws of morality
Free to take your fill
Free from your own free will
Nothing's free
My boy, it's getting late
I'll raise the stakes
So close
Control your fate, why hesitate
Seal the deal, close the sale
Take my hammer, drive the nail
Sign upon the bloody line
A drop of yours, a drop of mine
Nothing's free
Eternally
Nothing's free
From your conscience or
Free from the consequence
Free to sin and death
Free till your final breath
Nothing's free
Free from the claws and flaws of your family
Free from obedient life
You're cut like a double-edged knife
Nothing's free, nothing's free
Oh, you pay me
Free to ignore the bore of authority
Free to spit in the face
Be the winningest rat in the race till Judgement Day
Then nothing's free
Bow to me if you want to be free
Free from life, come die with me
And when we're dead it's for eternity
Come on little one and dance in the fire
The heat's getting close
and the flame's getting higher
When the music's over there's a hush in the choir
Nothing's free
When the trumpets sound
and his light is all around
And the saints all raise from the graves
in the ground
We'll be going way downtown
Way downtown

I really don't mind
I just go out when the sun goes down
And have a real good time
I can clear out any ballgame
In a minute and a half
Just show up - glow up
And have a real good laugh
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you
I'm nuclear infected
Really ain't that bad
In fact it's about the best time
I guess I ever had
I'm nuclear infected
Looking for a mate
So slip on something lead, babe
And go out on a date
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue, yeah
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you
Nuclear infected --- don't make me angry
Nuclear infected --- don't make shake
Nuclear infected --- don't get me to sneeze
Nuclear infected --- that's a big mistake
I want to live on Three Mile Island
Where things are clean and neat
'ause we don't have no health freaks
Clutterin up our streets
I'm nuclear infected, I need something to eat
A China Syndrome Salad with plutonium and cheese
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you

Playing and acting, and slaving and bathing ourselves

Build ups and barriers hiding behind everything
Who lies and who tries to come over everyone
Painting a picture to show everyone in the world

I'm a full blooded man not a weak imitation
I like to flex my arms in the neon lights
I'm a queen on the street and a king at the station
It's a secret of mine, not a sign I'm gonna make that right
Because I'm the prettiest cop on the block

In my bullet proof vest
With my black lace stockings
All this hair on my chest
When the boys see me coming
All the boys start to run
They all got their empty holsters
And I got the only gun
Because I'm the prettiest cop on the block

Time to change has come and gone
Watched your fears become your god
It's your decision
It's your decision
Overwhelmed, you chose to run
Apathetic to the stunned
It's your decision
It's your decision
You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lied
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
No-one plans to take the path that brings you nowhere
Here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over
It might seem an after thought
Yes it hurts to know you're bought
It's your decision
It's your decision
You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lied
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
It's your decision
It's your decision
No-one plans to take the path that brings you nowhere
Here you stand before us all and say it's over

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Once upon a time there lived a man and his name was Isaac
He walked with God both day and night but he didn't wanna die
He cried, oh Lord, please let me live, death is close I know
God smiled down on Isaac and gave him fifteen years to go.
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna die
Well, I long for the day when I'll have new birth 'cause I love the livin'
here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.
When Jesus lived here on this earth he knew his father's plan
He knew that he must give his life to save the soul of men
When Judas had betrayed him his father heard him cry
He was brave until his death but he didn't wanna die hey.
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna die
Well, I long for the day when I'll have new birth 'cause I love the livin'
here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.

When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me
To a faraway land
When home seems so far from me
Heaven's lights look dim
It's just as far as my deepest heart
Where my heart's Father lives
His quiet voice speaking in silence everyday
If I will only listen to the words He has to say
I'll walk in His Spirit, see Him in my face
I will live, 'cause He will live in my place
When life seems so hard to bear
When shadows look real
The circumstance is your Father's care
Go by faith not what you feel
If you have been running too
Stop now in your tracks
Turn again to the one in you
Put your burden on His back
His quiet voice speaking in silence everyday
If I will only listen to the words He has to say
I'll walk in His Spirit, see Him in your face
I will live, 'cause He will live in my place
When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me
To a faraway land

to the time of happier days
All I need is love and company
Gentle river bring him back to me

Cause I've made my life to live it
All I need is you here with me...

I can hear those lonesome midnight sighs in your sleep
I can hear the freight train's whistle cry, it's tellin' me
It's telling me, oh darlin' can't you see
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye
Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time
Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye
Better take some time to talk it over again with me
Better get all your things together now if you leave
It's killin' me, oh darlin' can't you see
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye
Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time
Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye
I can hear your footsteps movin' slowly across my floor
I can see your shadow look back at me outside my door
What'cha waitin' for? Oh darlin' I know for sure
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye
Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time

Grief won't hold me any more
You're running out of games to play
I don't have to live this way
Thought I loved you for awhile
You were loaded up on style
Talk is cheap but I won't play
I don't have to live this way
No I won't play the games that you've designed
And I won't wait to listen to your lines
Before you speak another word
I'll repeat it so I'm heard
You're running out of games to play
I don't have to live this way
You won't stay another night
Or did you want another right
Now I've got the eyes to see
You get your kicks by hurting me
No I won't play the games that you've designed
And I won't wait to listen to your lines

The wind is blowing down the quiet river
A shining road that carries you alone
Baby boy, my love will last forever
If you're to live, I must give you up to God
I know our God will guide, protect, and keep you
Teach you faith and hold you by the heart
Though your mother's heart is broken by your leaving
Her Father knows just who he is and who you are
[Chorus:]
I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way
With Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay
But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part
You must live
So I give you to his heart
The wind is blowing down the silent river
A shining road that leaves me all alone
A life for you's worth losing you forever
Some day we'll stand in God's fair land, forever home
[Chorus x 2]

And swore to not give in.
To never rest and do my best,
To rid this world of sin.

That we might change in time.
And when I looked into her eyes,
The fear I saw was mine.

My soul will mend at journey's end,
This road will take me home.

The things that I love
I hold dear to my heart
They are borrowed and
Not mine at all
Jesus only let me use them
To brighten my life
So remind me, remind me dear Lord
Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
Show me where you brought me from and
Where I could have been
Just remember I'm a human and human's forget
So remind me, remind me dear Lord
Nothing good have I done
To deserve God's own Son
I'm not worthy of the scars
In His hands
Yet he chose the road to Calvary
To die in my stead
Why He loved me I can't understand
Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
Show me where you brought me from and
Where I could have been
Just remember I'm a human and human's forget
So remind me, remind me dear Lord
Just remember I'm a human and human's forget
So remind me, remind me dear Lord

Honey, I know you've been alone some,
Why don't you 'phone some, 'cause I love you.
An' honey, I know I've been away some,
I've had to pay some and you have too.
But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight.
I just can't stand bein' alone.
Gonna have to change that some day.
There's a restless feelin' in my bones an' I know,
That at times, it just won't go away.
So if it's all the same, honey, I can't take the blame, baby,
I can't play your game, honey, what's true is true.
And if, in the end, the temptation wears you thin, honey,
I'll, I'll just pretend that I'll leave it up to you.
But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended andled down town.
Can't help it if I'm full of fire.
But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around,apprehended and led down town.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight.
<@#Alison_Krauss_Sinking_Stone.txt#@>
I called you today
Wanting a change
I never meant to hurt anyone
Never meant for you to pull out your guns
But feelings won't stay
In this meager parade
You're beating to a different drum
In this lack of all the luster we've become
Save your breath
You know we've both
Tried our best
But it's leaving
This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
I'm untying this sinking stone
Don't sit on the fence
Living past tense
Holding on to wishes and words
Folding out a picture we blur
'Cause here in the end
I'm losing a friend
Fighting back a tear when it burns
Dividing up the pieces that we were
Save your breath
You know we've both
Tried our best
But it's leaving
This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
I'm untying this sinking stone
I can't say you're all alone
I'm accepting what I own
Here lies a blanket and not a bandage
I'm unable to restrain
When the wake that we became
Is drawing me under
This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on

I know I'll be lonesome
That brings about a little fear
I know I'll be sad and I'll be blue
I have given the best of me
When I forgot to say to you
What you forgot to say to me
So long, so wrong
I have tried and cared, baby, it was never enough
In your mind I never had a clue
So I'll repave the same old road I'm on
Where I forgot to say to you
What you forgot to say to me
So long, so wrong
Did we take forever in vain
Into the past
Did we think forever was really gonna last
You have tired me with your wanting ways
You can't buy yourself to be complete
I have given up caring anymore
Once you were big in a world that's small
And now you're all alone
Have we taken forever in vain
Into the past
Did we think forever was really gonna last

Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back
It's not the first time I've found myself alone and known
If I really had you once, then I'd have you when I'm gone
Whistle blows, blowin' lonesome in my mind
Calling me along that never ending metal line
Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back
Sun is shining, through the open boxcar door
Lying in my mind with the things I've known before
I've lost count of the hours, days, and nights
The rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind
Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back
Cause I'm looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back
<@#Alison_Krauss_That_Kind_Of_Love.txt#@>
Who would sell their soul for love
Or waste one tear on compromise?
Should be easy enough
To know a heartache in disguise
But the heart rules the mind
And the going gets rough
Pride takes the fall
When you find that kind of love
I can't help feeling like a fool
Since I lost that place inside
Where my heart knew its way
And my soul was ever wise
Once innocence was lost
There was not faith enough
Still my heart held on
When it found that kind of love
Though beauty is rare enough
Still we trust
Somehow we'll find it there
With no guarantee
It seems to me
At least it should be fair
But if it's only tears and pain
Isn't it still worth the cost
Like some sweet saving grace
Or a river we must cross
If we don't understand
What this life is made of
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love
Cause when innocence is lost
There is not faith enough
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love
<@#Alison_Krauss_That_Makes_One_Of_Us.txt#@>
You've made up your mind
We don't want the same thing
And that we won't change things
Wishing there were ways
And there's no use staying together
Nothing lasts forever
That's what you say
And that makes one of us not in love
And that makes one of us who can't give up
If you can walk away from the life we've made
Then that makes one of us
I still believe we've got something worth saving
I keep hoping and praying for another chance
You've held my heart and your gonna break it
Cause you want to make it
A part of your past
And that makes one of us not in love
And that makes one of us who can't give up
If you can walk away from the life we've made
Then that makes one of us
Then that makes one of us
<@#Alison_Krauss_Winter_Of_A_Broken_Heart.txt#@>
Oh it seems the sun will never shine
The skies are so gray and the heart you left broken is lonely
The winter wind blows through the trees and with the song I sing
I long for the days you loved me only
Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart
Oh the nights will never be the same as when the love was new
Young hearts so tender in their yearning
But seasons, change and lovers too
And winter's twice as cold
But the fire in one heart is always burning
Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart
Though a million hours pass the time and lonely is the pain
And what was love is just a spell that's broken
So blow the wind and freeze the rain and try like lover's do
Seems our hearts have never really spoken
Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart

It ain't over, it ain't over yet.
You might walk away but you won't forget.
I'll never stop loving you.
My mind is set.
Do what you gotta do baby.
It ain't over...
<@#Allman_Brothers_Band_Layla.txt#@>
What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
[Chorus]
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say I'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.

[Chorus]
Ain't that low down, low down dirty mean
The way you've been treatin' me,
Beats all I've ever seen.
I loaned you my brand new car,
Said you was goin' for a Sunday drive,
Yeah, here it is now four days later,
I don't know if you are dead or alive,
I got on the telephone this morning,
Put the word out on the street,
And I heard you was down in Memphis,
With a big man in the driver's seat.
[Chorus]
Got me a hidin' in the bushes,
Peekin' in the window pane,
Shadow moves along the wall,
I know you're in there with another man,
Tried to get in the front door,
Went around to the back door too,
I believe you've got a side track man in there,
Making my sweet love to you.
[Chorus]
Makin' my last proclamation,
Gonna lay it on the line,
Baby I'm runnin' out of patience,
And you are runnin' out of time,
Tired of all of your mean things,
And all your dirty tricks,
If I ever turn on you baby,
You're gonna be in some kind of fix.
[Chorus: x2]
Yeah so low down, I know, low down dirty mean, ah!

Well I love you baby, but you won't give me the time of day.
Well I love you baby, but you won't give me the time of day.
Treat me so bad, but I love you anyway.
Early in the morning sun begins to rise,
Early in the morning sun begins to rise,
Call out your name, wring my hands and cry
Got me runnin', don't know what to do,
There won't be much of me when you get through.
Down on the bottom, nothing left to lose,
Lord I got 'em, mean woman blues.
Well, I love you baby, but you don't even know my name.
Well, I love you baby, but you don't even know my name.
Don't care about me but love you just the same.
Now, someday baby, take you by the hand,
Yeah, someday baby, take you by the hand,
You be my lovin' child and I'll be your lovin' man.
Yeah, you got me runnin', don't know what to do,
There won't be much of me when you get through.
Down on the bottom, nothing left to lose,
Lord I got 'em, mean woman blues.
Got me runnin', don't know what to do,
There won't be much of me when you get through.

Well I ain't an old man, oh but you know my time ain't long
Gonna be a hard rain - you can hear it in the distance, sounds so near
Gonna be a hard rain - can't you hear it in the distance, sounds so near
People when the rain comes, oh it's gonna wash us all away from here

Seven turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.
And sometimes, in the darkened night,
You see the crossroad sign.
One way is the mornin' light,
You got to make up your mind.
Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waiting for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
That's what it's all comin' to.
Hey, yeah.
Runnin' wild out on the road,
Just like a leaf on the wind.
How in the world could you ever know,
We'd ever meet again?
Seven turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.
Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waitin' for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
That's what it's all comin' to.

You've heard every line before
My life's a revolving door
With no way out and no way in
You know just what's on my mind
Could you take a chance one more time
Maybe we could start all over again
Straight from the heart
Straight from the heart
Straight from the heart
Straight from the heart
Your eyes can't tell a lie
I can see what you're feeling inside
Don't give up before we start
?Cause this time love is
Straight from the heart
Straight from the heart
I know what they're telling you
I wish I could say that it's not true
Love is so hard to find
But I never took the time
I never let you in
Please let me try again
Straight from the heart
I thought I knew about love
But I didn't know at all
Didn't take the time to see
Until I started to fall
Straight from the heart
Straight from the heart

I've been run down and I've been lied to.
And I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool.
She took all my money, wrecks my new car.
Now she's with one of my good time buddies,
They're drinkin in some cross-town bar.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whippin' post.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.
My friends tell me, that I've been such a fool.
But I had to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin' you.
Drown myself in sorrow as I look at what you've done.
But nothing seemed to change, the bad times stayed the same,
And I can't run.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whippin' post.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,

<@#Alphaville_About_A_Heart.txt#@>
There's a doubt in my heart
And it's sinking deep inside of me
It's the way that you talk
It's in the way you're touching me
When I look into your eyes
You're a million miles away from me
And there's nothing I can do
There's nothing left to say
You'll break my heart, there's nothing left to say
You'll break my heart,there's nothing I can do
You'll break my heart...
Rip it off and watch it fall..
Will you go - will you stay
Is there any chance for me to keep you here
By my side - or is my fate already sealed
Is there anybody else
Or am I still the only one
If it's so then I don't care
Just waiting for the blow to come
You see, there's nothing I can do
You'll break my heart (in any case) there's nothing left to say
(you'll break my heart...)
Rip it off and watch it fall...
You'll break my heart, there's nothing left to say
You'll break my heart,there's nothing I can do
You'll break my heart, rip it off, rip it off
You'll break my heart...

Welcome, or should I say goodbye
It's a question how close we are apart
Are you going back home after this show
Or leaving for the wild
And when you passing the wardrobe
What will you take
Your worn out hat of hopes
Or someone else's attractive furs to make it through
The playgrounds of your life
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
All the pieces came together
Finally, but not too late
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
Just pretend that I'm not there
Make your choice
I love you anyway
Just make your choice
Pretend that I'm not there
All the world is gone
All the world is gone
Just take it
Just take it
And you'll make it
Alright, yeah
Ride on, ride on

Everyone knows, wherever she goes

<@#Alphaville_Cosmopolitician.txt#@>
I sleep between the gates of night, in a no man's land
Always closer than you think, a kind of your best friend
I have no religion and I have no flag
I don't care if you're wrong or right
Lilac skinned or black
I'm a cosmopolitician
Closer than your next of kin
Angel, devil of the night
And the seed of everything
And if your world has turned to ashes
I will leave you never
Even when the sun's blown out, I will shine forever
I caress you with my charms
I'm your best friend, the dream
I'm the light that guides you through the nights
And deepest haze
I'm a cosmopolitician...
You need a friend without a doubt
I wonder why you came around
Are you awake or do you dream
You're stuck inside a frozen scene
You try to move but there's no moves
You try to speak but there's no use
You try to wake but you can't
You close your eyes without a chance
You need a friend without a doubt
I wonder why you came around..
<@#Alphaville_Days_Full_Of_Wonder.txt#@>
When you feel so far away though you're close to everything
And the feeling of estrangement's creeping up on spider's legs
Even in these days of wonder, even in the age of faith
There are some who goin' under
There are some who never got it made
So you passed so many years in a labyrinth of traces
Running round and round they led to no one but yourself
Here comes the eternal stranger
He who has fallen from grace to the iron grounds
And I'm tolling my bell just to let you know
I'm here by your side in these days full of wonder
In the ashes of your time when the dragon screams for more
The reptiles make their comeback in your eyes
And heroes fall for heroin and heaven falls for fake
And doris' daisies burn to hell on the grand parade of lies
In the middle of the night when the last of God has died
And the only friend you've got is the heartbeat of the clock
That music plays for all time, the tv light is freezing
The war-paint on your face..
<@#Alphaville_Girl_From_Pachacamac.txt#@>
I wish I'd had the time to look into your eyes
And quietly say the words
The words that you'd expect
I wish I'd touched your face
And you would hold my hand
Then tears were on our guard
And silence was our friend
And we would leave behind the chaos in our lifes
The struggle and the strife and the black and white
And all the letters that we wrote
Would be printed out in gold
In our memories to behold
Without explanations
To be told...
I dreamt I had the time to listen what you'd say
And what you'd say was true and we could start anew
I saw u bachstage in that chair
Dressed up in lies but oh so fair
And then I took you by the hand and off we went
And we just drank to quench our thirst
That never dies and always burns
Deep in the night out on the streets
I'd like to kiss you too but it wouldn't do
And all the poems that we wrote
Would be printed out in gold
In our memories to behold
Without explanations
To be told...
And we would leave behind the chaos in our lifes
The struggle and the strife and the black and white
And all the letters that we wrote
Would be printed out in gold
In our memory to behold without explanations...
And we just drink to quench our thirst
That never dies and always burns
Deep in the night out on the streets
I'd like to kiss you too without explanations..
To be told.

I'm on my way to the other side
I've broken doors and shattered glass
I've derailed from the joyrider train
And listened to the sounds of the insane
I've looked for wisdom every hour
Searched for decay in every flower
Ionized all the sacred schemes
And killed the prophets in my dreams
I've torn james joyce to pieces to make the puzzle fit
I've looked for secret messages in every little bit
I've travelled through the craters of despair
Grabbed the holy signs in every nightmare
Broke on through to the other side
Paid the one way fare, paid the one way fare
I'm on my way to the other side, there's nothing I can do about
I tried to hide behind perfection and starred in mirrors of deception
There's no escape in any way, nowhere to run, nowhere to stay
As long as I can't see the light I got to go to the other side
I've torn james joyce to pieces...
I've torn james joyce to pieces to make the puzzle fit
I've looked for secret messages in every little bit
I've spoken to the dead, ignorants have called me mad
I've travelled through the craters of despair
Grabbed the holy signs of every nightmare
Conjured up digression, suffered from depression
Paid the one way fare, paid the one way fare
I'm a missionary man
I'm a missionary man

Are you still in, tell me...
Where are you now, magician, lost your wand, where are the dreams
That you have dreamt....when you were a hero
Where are you now, where have you gone, you're much too beautuful

Wake up, open your eyes, feel the might of the light, i know you've got a sun

I was out last night having a ball
And comin' home, I wasn't thinkin' nothin' at all
And there on the sidewalk what did I see
A little glass slipper starin' back at me
Cinderella (Cinderella)
Well I'm not superstitious but I'm smarter than I seem
And I knew it was love, if you know what I mean
When I saw that slipper it occurred to me
The shoe fit her and she fit me
Cinderella (Cinderella)
Cinderella (Cinderella)
When I find her it will be
A fairy tale for her and me
I will never let her go
Cinderella
Now the other girls hold no fascination for me
I just think of her wherever she may be
I will search my whole life through
'Cause no one else will ever do
Cinderella (Cinderella)

When I find her it will be

She will give my heart a home
Until that day I'll be alone
With just a slipper and a dream

Awake in the morning a smile on your face
The same old feeling that I just can't place
And you say don't cry, baby
You know I'll always be the one who cares
Don't cry, baby
Come closer let me wipe away your tears
A man came in with a violin
He played for me like I've never been
Courted before and forevermore
As the bow touched the strings
He made the whole world sing
Don't cry, baby (Baby, don't you cry)
You know there'll always be someone who cares
Don't cry, baby (Baby, don't you cry)
Come closer let me wipe away your tears
I know I've been wrong
You've had to be strong
I guess I belong to you, my baby (Baby, don't you cry)
You know I'll always be the one who cares
Don't cry baby (Baby, don't you cry)

Have taken me far away and mystified
The songs of the lovers brought tears to my eyes

(Gerry Beckley and Bill Mumy)
Hey Slim how long's it been
Five minutes maybe 10
Can't wait to see you again and again
First taste of this romance
Hell baby I almost danced
Caught myself close to believing
But every time is a brand new feeling
Lay me down in cool clear water
For a moment I've forgot her
Still I know where this is leading
Win, lose, which we choose
Won once and once refused
Already burning down the fuse
Don't wanna be building walls
Cause everything rising falls
It's darkness here the light's concealing
Love it seems is too revealing
Hidden in some secret place
Etched in lines around my face
The ghosts in here are all competing
Over one more song about love and leaving
Ummmmm
Down, down we all fall down
Down, down we all fall down
We all fall down, yeah we all fall down
Let's toast to new love blooming
It's all around and all consuming
It's a dream you're bound to follow
Til you find it's only hollow
I can hear the angels grieving
Over one more song about love and leaving
Ummmmm
<@#America_On_Target.txt#@>
I hear a car, I hope it's yours
I hear the phone, I hope it's you
It seems I spend most half my life waiting
For the things I'll never do
When you were here, in love with me
There was so much (so much, so much) I couldn't see
And I watched you home believing
That you would never leave
Now I can't stand to be without you
I'm burning for one more kiss
I dream every night about you
Sometimes I'm on target, sometimes I seem to miss you
Night after night I lie awake
Wond'ring how long it's gonna take
Till I hold you close beside me
And share the love we make
'Cause I can't stand to be without you
I can't take much more of this
I dream every night about you
Sometimes I'm on target, sometimes I seem to miss you
Ah, oh baby turn your heart around
Ah, (oo) baby turn your heart around
Di, di, di, di, di, di
Ah, (come back, da, da, da) baby turn your heart around (oh)
(Who'm I gonna run to) Di, di, di, di, di, di
Ah, (come back, da, da, da) let me turn your heart around (oh)

<@#America_Only_Game_In_Town.txt#@>
Spectators line the avenue
The players step out right on cue
And every night just seems the same
Nameless faces play their game
The midnight gamblers place their bets
The tight-rope walkers check their nets
Then comes the queen of broken hearts
This is the way it always starts
Finders find love for the evening
Keepers keep the love they've found
Losers lose and wind up weeping
But it's the only game in town
All hail the third string debutante
She tries to act so nonchalant
Chasin' the prince of alibis
Into a smokescreen made of lies
Finders find love for the evening
Keepers keep the love they've found
Losers lose and wind up weeping
But it's the only game in town
My window looks down on the set
Each night the players strut and fret
So if you'd like to join the rest
Just choose the part that suits you best
Finders find love for the evening
Keepers keep the love they've found
Losers lose and wind up weeping
But it's the only game in town
<@#America_Paradise.txt#@>
Paradise
Caught between the
Fire and the ice
No need to
Think twice
It's where I want
To be
Like a weather vane
Following the
Wind, the sun
And rain
The ecstasy
And pain
And all that
Comes between
Cause in the morning
Summer breezes
Will be coming
My way
Then in the evening
Unbelieving
I'll be ready to say
That I am living
Here in Paradise
Balancing the
Darkness with
The light
Silencing the fight
Ahead is
All I see
Like a golden chain
Wrapped around the
Laughter
And the pain
Silencing the blame
Let it all break free
Then in the morning
Summer breezes
Will be coming
My way
And in the evening
Unbelieving
I'll be ready to say
That we're all
Living here in
Paradise
And though the sun
Will fade away
They say
There's so
Much more to
Fill a day
So be a
Weather vane
Following
The wind,
The sun,
And rain
The ecstasy
And pain
And all that
Comes between
Cause in the morning
Summer breezes
Will be coming
Your way
Then in the evening
Unbelieving
You'll be
Ready to say
That we're all
Living here in
Paradise
In Paradise
Paradise
Living here in
Paradise
Between the
Fire and the ice
In Paradise
Between the
Fire and the ice
in Paradise
In Paradise
In Paradise
In Paradise
<@#America_People_In_The_Valley.txt#@>
Some came down to hang out by the river
Others were waiting to find the night
We stood long just waiting for the picture
Looking at people to see what was right
Soon came the people
From over in the valley
Hundreds of them walking
Towards us in the rain
Then we turned around
And hid out in the alley
Met along the stones
Down Tomorrow Day Lane
Take away the road and no one will remember
How many journeys we hedged in the stone
Friends around will take away the wonder
Sharing a moment of being alone
Soon came the people
From over in the valley
Hundreds of them walking
Towards us in the rain
And we turned around
And hid out in the alley
Met along the stones
Down Tomorrow Day Lane
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ...

Give me all your money, any time I ask
Desperate situation, rally to the task
Playing God, shine in all his glory
Playing God
Warm you till you can sleep at night
Somewhere in your memory
Lies the dormant seed
Pacify your guilt now, and satisfy my greed
Playing God, climb the golden ladder
Playing God
Warm you up so you'll sleep at night
Between the ether and the opium lies the land of no regret
Of what we are and what we might become
Are we walking on the water yet?
Playing God, shine in all his glory
Playing God, warm you up so you'll sleep at night
Playing God, climb the golden ladder
Playing God
Playing God, shine in all his glory
Playing God, warm you up so you'll sleep at night
Playing God

Thank the morning for bringing you
Hope you never turn your head and run
And thank the sun for shining, too
Hope the darkness never comes again
What it does to me
Isn't good to see
You say that fortune brought you
Sailin' cross the sea
I don't believe you
I don't see how it's true
I think my dreamin' brought you here
And if I wake tomorrow will you still be near
Once a miser, twice a son
Three's a devil, four's a lot of fun
Fun for living one and all
Start a battle, who's the first to fall
Hope it isn't me
Have to wait and see
You say that fortune brought you
Sailin' cross the sea
I don't believe you
I don't see how it's true
I think my dreamin' brought you here
If I wake tomorrow will you still be near
Should I live with rain and then the sky will clear

We're afraid she's gonna let you down
Take your money and drop you to the ground
Wouldn't want to see you messed around
After all the love you think you've found
She's gonna let you down
Doesn't matter what we say
Love's the stubbornest game to play
Given time you might see it our way
And we'll be sorry boy until that day
She's gonna break away
Remember all the times you helped us through
Now here's our chance to do the same for you
Guess the thing to do is wait around
Lend a hand when you are on the ground
She's gonna let you down
She's gonna let you down
She's gonna let you down

When the whistle blows
And the goodbye hugs are over
Then the train pulls out of the station and rolls towards the dawn
With that old suitcase in hand and a surefire plan gone over
This time it will work it can't go wrong
Cause I've got all of our dreams mixed up with my schemes
Rollin' around in my mind
I know the sun's gonna shine
Shine on me this time
In a week or two
I'll be writing to you with good news
And I can just see your smile as you read about all that I've done
Cause I've got all of our plans right here in my hands
And things are gonna work out just fine
Cause I know the sun's gonna shine
Shine on me this time
I've seen confusion in your eyes
I've seen uncertainty and fear
Keep on lookin' for tomorrow
Soon it will be here
This time, it's gonna be this time
This time, it's gotta be this time
This time, this time (it's never never)
This time, this time (the day is coming)

Here i am, there you are
Who would believe we could come this far
We're beneath this magic moon
The ocean plays it's own sweet tune
The summer breeze it whispers low
It tells us something we both know
Tonight is for dreamers
Tonight someone up there has seen us
How we feel for each other
There could be no other
So he sent these words from above
Tonight is for falling in love
Oo, ah
(oo, la, la ... ) tonight there's magic in the air
Look around, it's everywhere
Hear the sand birds bill and coo
Actin' like they know it too
Hear the wind pass through the trees
Like it's tellin' everyone it sees
Tonight is for dreamers
Tonight someone up there has seen us
How we feel for each other (ah)
There could be no other
So he sent these words from above
Tonight is for falling in love
There can't have ever been such a night
I don't want it to end
With you in my arms girl i feel so high
Hell, i don't ever want to descend
Tonight is for dreamers
Tonight someone up there has seen us
How we feel for each other (ah)
There could be no other
So he sent these words from above
(i love you)
Tonight is for dreamers
Tonight someone up there has seen us
And i can't hold you enough (oo)
Tonight is for dreamers
Tonight someone up there has seen us
He sent these words from above
Tonight is for falling in love
<@#America_Town_And_Country.txt#@>
Touched by a butterfly on my way home
Flying who knows where
Walking down that dusty road
Without a care
The sun was shining up in the country
And bells were ringing downtown
Clouds were moving slow and lazy
While I was kicking around
And feeling out the town and the country
Feeling out the town and the country
Up on the hill I got a better look
I watched the river run brown (watched the river run brown)
And then I heard those songbirds singing
The country sound
When I got home I sat in my kitchen
And turned the television on (turned the TV on)
The news wasn't good so I didn't listen
I started clicking around
Thinking of the town and the country
I was thinking of the town and the country
Thinking of the town and the country
In the morning everything will be the same
Open up your world (watch the children play)
In the sun or rain
Thinking of the town and the country
A thinking of the town and the country
I was thinking of the town and the country (fade)

Twinkling lights
A chill is in the air
And carols everywhere
Close your eyes, it's almost here
Candles and cards
And favorite movie scenes
The smell of evergreen
As special as it's always been
And I have a dream or two
Maybe they will come true
[Chorus:]
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight
We'll wake up to a world of white
It's gonna be a christmas to remember
Light up the fire, play some Nat King Cole
Always sentimental and don't you know that
It's gonna be a Christmas to remember
I know it's true
Time doesn't stand still
Many things can change
But we know some things never will
The memories we share
The songs we always sing
The mystery of life
The hopefulness this season brings
And I have a dream or two
Maybe they will come true
[Chorus:]
<@#Amy_Grant_Christmas_Cant_Be_Very_Far_Away.txt#@>
Little bits of heaven
Floating gently by the window
Soon this dirty city will be
Covered with a new snow
Let's put on our winter boots
Go outside and play
Christmas can't be very far away
Weather girl says "bundle up"
It's gonna be a cold one
I'll put on my wooly hat
You'll wear your dad's old Stetson
Pretty lights are everywhere
Shining night and day
Christams can't be very far away
Let's take a walk downtown and
Go dream shopping in the mall
The kids can do the Santa thing
Photographs and all
We'll get the biggest tree this year
And trim it to the top
And spend a whole lot more
Than what we've got
But so what
Come next spring
I know we will be
Ready for the sunshine
Right now throwin' snowballs
At each other's such a fun time
Kids will think we're crazy
For awhile and that's okay
Christmas can't be very far away
Christmas can't be very far away

Some people always know the right thing to say
I don't really think I was born that way
And with the gift of charm, they're well endowed
I love to watch them float right through a crowd
I used to think it took a giggly girl
To win some fame in this mixed around world
But I know better now
One day I met a man who showed me love
There standing on His head was a snow white dove
And He said,"Once I came down to this mire for you
But I'm the Son of God, He's your Father too"
It wasn't long before my new walk began
Since I found Jesus, my life is in His hands
Now I have life, no one can take it from me
And I've a home above I'm waiting to see
There're many rooms in the House of the Lord
Why don't you come along and bring someone more?
I used to think it took a giggly girl
To win some fame in this mixed around world
But I know better now
I know better now, I know better now
I know better now, I know better now
I know better now, I know better now
I know better now
I know, I know, I know
I know better now
<@#Amy_Grant_Innocence_Lost.txt#@>
I can't relive my life
I can't retrace my tracks
I can't undo what's done
There is no going back
I chased a selfish dream
Did not survey the cost
Illusions disappeared
I've found my innocence lost
Some say it's lessons learned
Some say it's a living life
I say it's choices made
Knowing wrong from right
One night I fought to sleep
In my slumber I turned and tossed
I woke to a cloudy day
And found my innocence lost
Innocent child is a beautiful thing
Secure in her father's arms
Sleeps while a mother sings
There's no way to know
All the harm this world can bring
I miss my innocence
Oh, to be innocent
My heavenly Father
The way of eternal love
That overflows with grace
I can completely trust
My broken heart repaired
And all my sin forgot
I can be pure again
In spite of my innocence lost
In his eyes I'm a newborn child
'cause I accept his love
I have a newfound hope
Though I've found my innocence lost
I can be pure again
I've found my innocence lost

It's a cold, cold world
That we're walking through.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
But it's warm as toast
Walking two by two,
Lay down the burden of your heart.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.
It's a fine, fine line
Betwixt love and hate.
Why, it's tough to tell the two apart.
But you know it's love
That He offers you.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Ohh-ohh, show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.

And let your Daddy lift it.

I took a drive along the west bank of the shore
I thought of what you said then I thought some more
You say your life is all but chiseled out in stone
And all you want is just a taste of the unknown
Think it was yesterday I called you on the phone
You say you need a change, I recognize the tone
Buy me a ticket please, to anywhere I'll go
I'm not saying what is right or what is wrong
I'm just thinking you've been hanging here too long
[Chorus:]
So, why don't we, just up and leave it all behind
Maybe a change would ease your mind
For a time, leave it all behind
What I really want to do is see you smile
Hear you talk and let me listen for a while
There's too much going on to keep it all inside
You try to whisper, but you start to scream and shout
What you need is just a place to let it out
[Chorus:]
You try to whisper but you start to scream and shout
What you need is just a place to let it out

Why do lovers drift apart?
How does love fade away?
When do pieces of a broken heart mend again?
You've been crying in the dark
And you've been feeling alone
Don't be scared of what you find
When you turn the light on
Ain't nobody gonna say goodbye
No, ain't nobody gonna walk away
This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you
Ain't nobody gonna make you cry
No, ain't nobody ever really tried to love you
Like I love you
What sad memory of yesterday
What terrible scar
Keeps you gathering pieces of
Your shattered heart
There was once upon a time
When hope was living within
And I know there will come a time
When you can believe again
Ain't nobody gonna say goodbye
No, ain't nobody gonna walk away
This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you
Ain't nobody gonna make you cry
No, ain't nobody ever really tried to love you
Like I love you
How long have you been feeling lonely?
How long have you been feeling sad and blue?
This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you
Ain't nobody gonna make you cry
No, ain't nobody ever really tried to love you
Like I love you
This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you
Let me love you, like I love you

O sacred head now wounded
With grief and shame way down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns thine only crown,
How art thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn.
How does that visage languish,
Which once was bright as morn.
What language shall i borrow
To thank thee dearest man?
For this, thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end.
O make me thine forever,
And should i fainting be,
Lord, let me never, ever
Outlive my love to thee.

At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some carolling
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing "Let's be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly"
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily In the new old fashioned way
Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling, too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside, the snow is falling, and friends are calling, "yoo-hoo!"
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap
It's grand just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy, and comfy-cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop, pop, pop, pop!
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling, too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside, the snow is falling, and friends are calling, "yoo-hoo!"
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
<@#Amy_Grant_Somewhere_Somehow.txt#@>
Standing in our silence
I hear my heart beating
And if only I could choose
I'd stay here with you
But hold me till the train is leaving
Somewhere down the line
After you've gone from sight
Our love will be the same
And, whispering your name,
I'll cling to you with all my might
Let me dream of you
But it's true
And wake me up when this is over
Love will be there when this is over and
Chorus:
Somewhere far beyond today
I will find a way to find you
And somehow thru the lonely nights
I will leave a light in the dark
Let it lead you to my heart
There's a love inside us
Deep down inside
That goes without saying
Don't say a word
But I'll tell you just the same
And that love will fan the flame
And that flame will warm the heart that's waiting
You are mine and I'll wait for you my love
You are mine it may take some time
Even if it takes a lifetime
Tell me you'll wait
Chorus
Bridge:
And somewhere alone
I will be praying you home
I know that somewhere our love
Our love will lead me to your arms
Chorus
<@#Amy_Grant_The_Christmas_Song.txt#@>
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple wish
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple wish
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you
<@#Amy_Grant_Til_The_Season_Comes_Round_Again.txt#@>
Come and gather around at the table
In the spirit of family and friends
And we'll all join hands and remember this moment
'Til the season comes 'round again
Let's all try to smile for the picture
And we'll hold it as long as we can
May it carry us through
Should we ever get lonely
'Til the season comes 'round again
[Chorus:]
One night holy and bright
Shining with love from our hearts
By a warm fire,
Let's lift our heads high
And be thankful we're here
'Til this time next year
May the new year be blessed
With good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
If we must say goodbye
Let the spirit go with you
'Til the season comes 'round again
[Chorus]
May the new year be blessed with good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
If we must say goodbye
Let the spirit go with you
And we'll love and we'll laugh
In the time that we had
'Til the season comes 'round again
<@#Andrea_Bocelli_En_Aranjuez_Con_Tu_Amor.txt#@>
Aranjuez, a place of dreams and love
Where a rumour of crystal fountains in the garden
Seems to whisper to the roses
Aranjuez, today the dry leaves without colour
Which are swept by the wind
Are just reminders of the romance we once started
And that we've forsaken without reason
Maybe this love is hidden in one sunset
In the breeze or in a flower
Waiting for your return
Aranjuez, today the dry leaves without colour
Which are swept by the wind
Are just reminders of the romance we once started
And that we've forsaken without reason
In Aranjuez, my love
You and I
<@#Andy_Williams_A_Song_For_You.txt#@>
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but baby can't you see (baby can't you see now)
There's no one more important to me (baby)
Baby can't you please see through me
'cause we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholding' nothin'
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody (listen to the melody) cause my love's in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine (you are a friend of mine)
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
We were alone and I was singin' this song, singin' this song for you
<@#Andy_Williams_Beyond_The_Reef.txt#@>
Beyond the reef
Where the sea is dark and cold,
My love has gone,
And our dreams grow old.
There'll be no tears,
There'll be no regretting.
Will she remember me,
Will she forget?
I'll send a thousand flow'rs
When the trade winds blow.
I'll send my lonely heart,
For i love her so.
Someday i know
She'll come back again to me.
Till then my heart will be
Beyond the reef
Some day i know
She'll come back again to me
Till then my heart will be
Beyond the reef
<@#Andy_Williams_Canadian_Sunset.txt#@>
Once I was alone
So lonely and then
You came, out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hills
Cold, cold was the wind
Warm, warm were your lips
Out there, on that ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrills
A weekend in Canada, a change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
I found the love that I couldn't ignore
Down, down came the sun
Fast, fast, fast, beat my heart
I knew when the sun set
From that day, we'd never ever part
<@#Andy_Williams_Dont_You_Believe_It.txt#@>
If you should hear
That someone new
Has eased the pain
Of losing you
[Chorus:]
Don't you believe it
Not for a moment
Don't you believe it
Because it isn't true
Those angry words
That made us part
Put out the flame
That's in my heart
[Repeat chorus]
I haven't changed
I still love you
And it will always be
I only hope and
I pray each night
You'll feel the
Same about me
So if you hear
Some false alarms
Like you're not welcome
In my arms
[Repeat chorus]
Oh, how I still love you
<@#Andy_Williams_Have_Yourself_A_Merry_Little_Christmas.txt#@>
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Oh, through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
<@#Andy_Williams_If_I_Loved_You.txt#@>
I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you (I think I love you)
This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I think I love you (I think I love you)
I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way
I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about
Hey, I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say I never felt this way
Believe me you really don't have to worry
I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will
But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
<@#Andy_Williams_Lonely_Street.txt#@>
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
I'm looking for that lonely street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
Perhaps upon that lonely street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love di-ie
If I could find that lonely street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
<@#Andy_Williams_Summer_Love.txt#@>
Summer Love
Who will be your summer love
Like I was last summer
Sharing every moment of
Things we did last summer
Who will be satisfied
Just to be by your side
Who will kiss you, hold you tight
Two silver silhouettes
In the summer moonlight
Will you walk along the beach
Like we did last summer
Counting stars way out of reach
Like we did last summer
Will you tell your heart, beware
This is just a summer affair
Or will you fall in love for keeps
Like I did last summer
<@#Andy_Williams_Sweet_Memories.txt#@>
My world is like a river, as dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memory
Sweet memories, sweet memories
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.
She slipped into the silence of my dreams again last night
Wandering from room to room, she's turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
And I'm swept away from sadness, clinging to her memory
Sweet memories, sweet memories
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm
Sweet memories, sweet memories
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm
<@#Andy_Williams_The_Very_Thought_Of_You.txt#@>
The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love
<@#Andy_Williams_Three_Coins_In_The_Fountain.txt#@>
Three coins in the fountain,
Each one seeking happiness.
Thrown by three hopeful lovers,
Which one will the fountain bless?
Three hearts in the fountain,
Each heart longing for its home.
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome.
Which one will the fountain bless?
Which one will the fountain bless?
Three coins in the fountain,
Through the ripples how they shine.
Just one wish will be granted,
One heart will wear a valentine.
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Three coins in the fountain,
Through the ripples how they shine.
And just one wish will be granted,
One heart will wear a valentine.
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
<@#Andy_Williams_Winter_Wonderland.txt#@>
Sleigh bells ring
are you listening
in the lane
snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
we'll say: No man
But you can do the job
when you're in town
Later on
we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
the plans that we've made
walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
until the all the kids knock him down
When it snows
ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
the Eskimo way
walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
walking in a winter wonderland
<@#Annie_Helpless_Fool_For_Love.txt#@>
(verse)
I saw you
It was a rainy day in May or June
I couldn't help it
God, you looked so fine
I just had to make you mine, all mine
Well I'm a helpless fool for love
Instantly
I cannot eat nor sleep, no
Hard to breathe
You read my love so easy
A, be, see
Twist my mind around and 1, 2, 3
Then I'm a helpless fool for...
(chorus 1)
Ah...
When he walks (?)
When he talks
When he moves
Makes my day
I'm the helpless one
Ah...
Not unkind
I don't mind
When he talks
Just a rush
I'm a fool for love
(verse)
All shook up
I know it's stupid to precipitate
Without getting all humiliate
Didn't know what I should say or do
Everything I'll give to you and me (when I'm here without you)
We're gonna have a riot
Trust in me (I can't live without you)
I'm gonna make you happy
What you need (helpless fool without you)
I'll give you everything
I'll try to be (you know, you know, you know, you know, you know)
Still your helpless fool for...
(chorus 2)
Ah...
When he walks
When he talks
When he moves
Makes me feel
I'm a fool for love
Ah...
What a joy, you're my boy
And it seems like a dream
Now I'm all shook up
Ah...
Need you, Doctor Love
Are you there?
Every day I'm the helpless one
Ah...
Not unkind
I don't mind
When he talks
Just a rush
I'm a fool for love
I am a helpless fool for love
I am a helpless fool for love
I am a helpless fool for love
(chorus 2)
I am a helpless fool for love

[Verse 1]
Used to cry 'bout some crazy shit before
I used to feel so obligated to be so much more
I used to let some people tell me how to live and what to be
But if I can't be me, then fuck's the point? No...
[Chorus]
I don't care about it anymore, oh
I don't care about it anymore
[Verse 2]
Now I laugh about the things that used to be important to me
Used to have a hold on me, used to have a hold
Like what you think and what he thinks and what they think
But I love me

I don't care about it anymore, oh
I don't care about it anymore

<@#Ariana_Grande_Love_The_Way_You_Lie.txt#@>
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
Don't know why I'm still surprised
Even Angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost you're mind
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Ohh I love the way you lie
Now there's gravel in our voices
Glass is shattered from the fight
In this tug of war you'll always win
Even when I'm right
'Cause you feed me fables from your hands
With violent words and empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles
Are what keeps me satisfied
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Ohh I love the way you lie
So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
'Til these walls are goin' up
In smoke with all our memories
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Ohh I love the way you lie.

I could write a song by my new piano
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
Not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
It's not hard (It's not hard)
And I could sing about cupid and a shooting arrow
In the end, you found out that my heart was better
Real hard (Real hard)
It's so hard (So hard)
Real hard (Real hard)
It's that hard (It's that hard)
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That it makes you wanna dance
Don't it make you wanna dance
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
Makes you wanna grab your lover's hand

So hold up and
Take it through the night
And you should follow through
To make it alright
Now grab each others' hands, get 'em all
I want to see you rock to the piano,

Dear Santa
It's me Ariana
I know it's been awhile but I really need
Your help this year
Let me make this clear
See I really love him
And it's been kinda tough cause
He's only in town for the holidays
Tomorrow he's flying away
Away from me
[Pre-Chorus:]
I don't need another gift
I just have one wish
This year can you
[Chorus:]
Just make it snow in california
I'll even settle for rain
Don't want him to go tomorrow morning
Give me something to make him stay
Wrapped in his arms by the fireplace
Will be the perfect gift
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
Let it snow
In Calif-orn-i-a
[Verse 2:]
Dear Santa
What happened to the plan we had
I checked the news and it said
It'd be a sunny day
Make it go away
See I I really need him to stay
For a couple more days
Can't you make his
Five o'clock flight delay
Won't you find a way
[Pre-Chorus:]
I don't need another gift
I just have one wish
This year can you
[Chorus:]
Just make it snow in california
I'll even settle for rain
Don't want him to go tomorrow morning
Give me something to make him stay
Wrapped in his arms by the fireplace
Will be the perfect gift
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
Let it snow
In Calif-orn-i-a
[Bridge:]
I know I'm asking for the impossible
But I believe in miracles
I need my baby right here with me
So please, please
[Chorus:]
Just make it snow in california
I'll even settle for rain
Don't want him to go tomorrow morning
Give me something to make him stay
Wrapped in his arms by the fireplace
Will be the perfect gift
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
Let it snow
In Calif-orn-i-a
<@#Ariel_Rivera_When_I_Meet_You.txt#@>
There I was an empty piece of a shell
Just mindin' my own world
Without even knowin'
What love and life were all about
Then you came...
You brought me out of the shell
You gave the world to me
And before I knew
There I was so in love with you
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know I'm on to something good
And I'm sure my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world
And take all my cares away
With the aching part of me
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
You taught me how to love
You showed me how tomorrow and today
My life is diff'rent from the yesterday
And you, you taught me how to love
And darling I will always cherish you
Today, tomorrow and forever...
And I'm sure when evening comes around
I know we'll be making love like never before
My love, who could ask for more?
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
When I met you
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you
When I met you...
When I met you...

The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
The oranges are piled in their cresote dumps
They're flying you back to the Mexico border
To pay all your money to wade back again
My father's own father, he wanted that river
They took all the money he made in his life
My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees
And they rode the truck till they took down and died
Good-bye to my Juan, good-bye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus why Maris
You won't have a name when you ride the big air-plane
And all they will call you will be deportees.
Some of us are illega, and others not wanted
Our work contract's out and we have to move on
But it's six hundred miles to that Mexican border
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like theives.
We died in your hills, we died in your deserts
We died in your valleys and died on your plains
We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes
Both sides of the river, we died just the same.
Good-bye to my Juan, good-bye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus why Maris
You won't have a name when you ride the big air-plane
And all they will call you will be deportees.
A sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon
Like a fireball of lightning, it shook all our hills
Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says they are just deportees.
Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil
And be called by no name except deportees?
<@#Arlo_Guthrie_Guantanamera.txt#@>
The words mean, I am a truthful man
From the land of the palm trees
And before dying, I want to share the poems of my soul
My poems are soft green,
My poems are also flaming crimson
My poems are like a wounded fawn
Seeking refuge in the forest
The last verse says "con los pobres de la tierra"
With the poor people of this earth
I want to share my fate
The streams of the mountain
Pleases me more than the sea
<@#Arlo_Guthrie_Highway_In_The_Wind.txt#@>
Sail with me into the unknown void
That has no end
Swept along the open road
That don't seem to begin
Come with me a love me, Babe
I may be back again
Meantime I'll keep sailing down
This highway in the wind
Evenings just begin the days
And follows with the night
To love you and to be with you
And say that it's all right
Love me while you have me, Babe
I may be back again
Meantime I'll keep sailing down
This highway in the wind
There's times I feel like going
And there's times I want to stay
Times that I ain't feeling well
And times I feel ok
Now you have time to love me, Babe
And I may have time agian
Meantime I'll keep sailing down
This highway in the wind
The fortune teller tells me
I have somewhere to go
I look and try to understand
And wonder how she knows
So I must be going now
I'm losing time my friend
Looking for a rainbow
Down this highway in the wind
<@#Arlo_Guthrie_Lay_Down_Little_Doggies.txt#@>
CHORUS:
LAY DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
WE'VE BOTH GOT TO SLEEP ON THE COLD, COLD GROUND
THE WINDS BLOWIN' COLDER AND THE SUN'S GOIN' DOWN
LAY DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
WE HIT THIS OLD BEEF TRAIL JUST TWO MONTHS AGO
WE BLISTERED IN THE SUN AND WE FROZE IN THE SNOW
IN TEN DAYS WE'RE COMIN TO A PACKING HOUSETOWN
SO LAY YOURSELVES DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
THIS DODGE CITY TRAIL SHE'S A HARD ROAD TO GO
UP THE TEXAS FLATLANDS THROUGH OLD MEXICO
I GOT DUST IN MY EYES AND MUD IN MY NOSE
SO LAY YOURSELVES DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
CHORUS
THAT BAD HOLE OF WATER WE DRUNK AND GOT SICK
CURLED UP OUT HAIR, TIED OUR TAILS BACK IN KINKS
WE GOT LOST IN A BLIND CANYON, TIPPY-TOEIN' AROUND
SO LAY YOURSELVES DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
HERE NOW WE COME TO THE END OF OUR TRAIL
YOUR HAIR, HIDE AND CARCASS TO THE STOCKYARDS I SELL
I'LL SEE YOU IN A TIN CAN WHEN YOU GET SHIPPED AROUND
SO LAY YOURSELVES DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
CHORUS
<@#Arlo_Guthrie_Living_Like_A_Legend.txt#@>
Coming down the highway, running like a wind
Gonna beat the sunset to the coast and back again
Moving through the shadows, almost going blind
Living like a legend before my time
If the road don't kill me, baby, I'll see you in the spring
Making up for lost time between us seems like everything
If I can make it home alright, you know, I'll treat you fine
Living like a legend before my time
I know, it wasn't easy for you, baby
With your man out on the road
So I'll be coming home tomorrow
To try to help you carry the load
I'm running out of highways and bridges to burn
This kind of living is taking its toll on what I've learned
You know, it ain't easy leaving you behind
Living like a legend before my time
But someday, baby, I'll be coming home to stay
Wrapped up in your warm love every night and every day
Ooh, I'm going out of my mind
Living like a legend before my time
I know, it wasn't easy for you, baby
With your man out on the road
So I'll be coming home tomorrow
To try to help you carry the load
I'll be getting up early 'cause I know, I'm coming home
I'm so tired of living this legend life alone
Kick off your shoes, babe, we'll drink a little wine
Forget about living like a legend before my time
Forget about living like a legend
Just forget about the road
So, look out for me, darling
On account of your man is coming home

Words and music by James Rider
Just me and a friend roamin' around
Him a magician and I was a clown
Playin' the streets for a dollar a day
Waitin' for the right time and a sign to lead the way
Crossed over the border to a mystical land
Sort of unexpected didn't quite understand
On a razor's edge on a grain of sand
Onward we wandered to the gates of oblivion
On a roll of the dice we headed out west
Where the sage and and the spice attracted us
Shadows fell down like a dark groping hand
Saw the teeth of the wolves and the blood of the lambs
On a turn of the cards I lightened my load
Throwing off fear for the weakness it holds
On target and calm the vision was clear
Beyond the mirage I took for granted was here
On a flip of the coins we rode the coast
Tryin' to make the most of every situation
That we witnessed near at hand
On a drifter's crusade all over the land
Could it be in the stars in the passing of cars
At a table in the bar in a turn of the cards
In a change of your mind in the passing of time
In a ribbon of rhyme just down the line
Just me and a friend roamin' around
Him a magician I was a clown
Playin' the streets for a dollar a day
Waitin' for the right time and a sign to lead the way
<@#Arlo_Guthrie_Percys_Song.txt#@>
Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep
Turn, turn, turn again
Sayin' one of my friends is in trouble deep
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
Tell me the trouble, tell me once to my ears
Turn, turn, turn again
Juliet prison for ninety-nine years
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
A crash on the highway threw a car into a field
Turn, turn, turn again
There were four people killed and he was at the wheel
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
But I knew him as well as I know my own self
Turn, turn, turn again
And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
That may be so said the judge from the side of his mouth
Turn, turn, turn again
But the witness who saw it, he left little doubt
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
He may, he may have a sentence to server
Turn, turn, turn again
But ninety-nine years, he just does not deserve
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
Too late, too late, for his case it is sealed
Turn, turn, turn again
A sentence, it is passed and it can not be repealed
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none
Turn, turn, turn again
And what happened to him could have happened to anyone
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
At that the judge jumped forward and his face it did freeze
Turn, turn, turn again
Sayin', ?Would you kindly leave my office now, please?
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
I squinted my eyes and I stood up slow
Turn, turn, turn again
With no other choice except for me to go
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
I walked down the hall and I heard his door slam
Turn, turn, turn again
I walked down the stairs but I did not understand
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
And I played my guitar through the night and through the day
Turn, turn, turn again
But the only tune that my guitar would play
Was oh how cruel, the wind and the rain
<@#Arlo_Guthrie_Red_River_Valley.txt#@>
From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathways awhile
[Chorus]
Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true
I've been thinking a long time, my darling
Of the sweet words you never would say
Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish
For they say you are going away
Do you think of the valley you're leaving
O how lonely and how dreary it will be
And do you think of the kind hearts you're breaking
And the pain you are causing to me
[Chorus]
They will bury me where you have wandered
Near the hills where the daffodils grow
When you're gone from the Red River Valley
For I can't live without you I know
[Chorus]

When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains
And there's nothing left to do but lay around
I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standing all around
I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down
A picture that no artist 'ere could paint
Cactus plants are bloomin' on the mountain side
I hear a coyote calling to its mate
White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standing all around
I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standing all around
I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains
And there's nothing left to do but lay around
I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standing all around
I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a poor cowboy wrapped up in white linen
All wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
""I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy""
These words he did say as I proudly stepped by
""Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die
""'Twas once in the saddle I used to go ridin'
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
First lead to drinkin', and then to card-playing
I'm shot in the breast and I'm dying today
""Let six jolly cowboys come carry my coffin
Let six pretty gals come to carry my pall
Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin
Throw roses to deaden the clods as they fall
""Oh, beat the drum slowly, and play the fife lowly
And play the dead march as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley and lay the earth o'er me
For I'm a poor cowboy and I know I've done wrong""
We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly
And bitterly wept as we carried him along
For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young and handsome
We all loved our comrade although he done wrong

There's gonna be some changin' 'round
Babe, when you come turn me down
Trifled on me for your last time
When I come home at night
Why you always start a fight?
Now, babe I want you to know
You left your motor runnin' slow
I got off and got on a faster line
Got me a baby that's got some dough
When you gotta go, you gotta go
Gonna leave you and ease
This troubled mind of mine
There's no need to talk to you
'Cause you know that we are through
I can find a better place to spend my time
Now if I stay out late
You know I'm swingin' on another gate
Gonna leave you and ease this
Troubled mind of mine
Now baby I want you to know
You left your motor runnin' slow
I got off and got on a faster line
Got me a baby that's got some sense
Gonna leave you to ease this
Troubled mind of mine
There's no need to talk to you
'Cause you know that we are through
I can find a better place to spend my time
Now if I stay out late
You know I'm swingin' on another gate
Gonna leave you and ease this
Troubled mind of mine

Oh, last night I sat by your side
Oh, I was feelin' so lonely
Would have given up my pride
All night I was so lonely
Then you took to the streets
You don't have much to say
But I listened to your feet
As they walked away
Bye bye bye bye
Now walking's the only thing I know
Oh we do well together
I ain't thinkin' 'bout where we go
Lace up your boots of leather
Then we take to the streets
We don't have much to say
But I listen to our feet
As we walk away
Bye bye bye...
I wasn't lookin' for love
I'm a little sorry you're gore
But until we have something to say
L'll just keep walking along
Bye bye bye...
Ask me if I need you now
Oh no I'm feeling great
If you hunt me in my dreams
Ah there is one escape
I'll just take to the streets
I won't have much to say
But I'll be listening to my feet
As they walk away
Bye bye bye...

Wheels of completion rolling
Wait to put my mind to rest

Hey, Ezekiel, you can leave now
You got to go or stay so long
While your wheels just keep turning
Turn to rhythm right and wrong

Turn to trouble in the West
Wheels of completion rolling
Wait to put my mind at rest

Not so long ago I set out on this road
With my friends and my companions by my side
And I think of you wherever I do go
I'm a rambler, I ain't hard to satisfy
[Chorus:]
Won't be long till I am home again with you
Just a few more miles to go
Won't be long till I can get back on my own
Won't be long till I can spend my time with you
In the airport I'm standing in a line
Search my pockets, check me out and I'm alright
It's not hard but it ain't easy all the time
To be in some other town most every night
[Chorus:]
Oh, I miss the singing from porch banjo nights
And when friends come by to pass the time away
And when the winds that chill the Bershires in the night
Heading east through Massachusetts toward the bay

I used to talk about politics, politics, politics,
I used to talk about politics but I don't anymore.
I used to talk about communism, socialism, capitalism
I used to talk about all those isms but now I'm a dad
And all I talk about is baby poo
Baby poo, baby poo
All I talk about is baby poo
Baby poo, baby poo
All I talk about is baby poo
I used to rant about traffic problems,
Fender benders, stupid signs
I used to fear an accident
But now I stay at home
And talk about:
Baby poo, baby poo
All I talk about is baby poo
Baby poo, baby poo
All I talk about is baby poo
Sometimes it's all brown and gooey
Sometimes it looks like dijon mustard
Sometimes it's like melted crayon
Sometimes it just smells like POO
I used to talk about philosophy,
Kafka, Descartes, Socrates
I used to think metaphysically
But now I think the world evolves around:
Baby poo, baby poo
All I talk about is baby poo
Baby poo, baby poo
All I talk about is baby poo
Sometimes it feels just like stucco
Sometimes it feels like Jell-o pudding
Sometimes it's like avocado
Sometimes she just pees on me
I used to be real int'resting
Discussing issues of the day
But now I call up my MP
And tell her all about my baby poo
Baby poo, baby poo
All I talk about is baby poo
Baby poo, baby poo
All I talk about is baby poo
Baby poo, baby poo
All I talk about is baby poo
Baby poo, baby poo

Darling for you
I think of what I'd so
To keep you safe and sound
I would climb the highest mountain
I would swim the widest sea
I would wrestle a gorilla to the ground
I would fend off a dozen charging rhinos
I would catch a storm of killer bees
I would fight a firey dragon with a wooden sword
If I didn't know what this could do to me
'Cause it's too dangerous (too dangerous)
I'd really like to do it
But I might get hurt
It's dangerous (too dangerous)
I don't feel like bleeding
On my brand new shirt
You might say I'm cowardly
Or say I'll full of fright
You might call me yellow
And baby you'd be right!
So I'd skip across volcanoes full of lava
I'd even grab a tiger by the tail
I would make fun of
A boxing champion's mother
But my courage and my bowels both would fail
I would fight off a bunch
Of angry Kosacks
I would stop a thousand
Bullets with my hand
I would laugh
As my leg was amputated..
But baby, I'm not that kind of man!
'Cause it's too dangerous (too dangerous)
I use big words
But I never do the deed
It's dangerous (too dangerous)
I faint like a baby
If I see somebody bleed
I haven't got a backbone
I'm as timid as a mouse
I would find a cure for this
But I can't leave the house!
Cause it's dangerous
Too dangerous
Too dangerous
For me!
For me!
For me.
<@#Arrogant_Worms_Having_Fun_Is_Bad_For_You.txt#@>
I used to go to all the parties
And make love to all the beautiful ladies
And I'd eat cheeseburgers with bacon and extra grease when I was
Hungry
And drink Windex Colladas until my skin turned blue
But now,the times they are a-changing
My lifestyle, it is rearranging
For debauchery may be fun and entertaining
But it is also very bad for you
Do you know how many diseases you can get
Making love to someone who has not had all their tests
So nowadays, I am celibate
And I wear a condom, in case I have dirty thoughts
I never drive my car past the speed limit
And I always wear my seat belt when I am in it
I traded my Lambourghini for a Honda Civic
Because it is more fuel-efficient and practical
Ay-yi-yi! Ay-yi-yo!
Being boring is the way to go!
Ay-yi-yi! Ay-yi-yo!
Having fun is bad for you!
I can no longer smoke my cigarettes
Because I found that they are a major cause of death
The tar and nicotine have not killed me yet
But if I got pregnant, they could hurt my baby
I used to love my sorry complexion (sorry?)
I tanned myself to perfection
But the sun can give you a cancerous infection
So now I'm white and pasty and I never leave the house
I used to eat like there was no tomorrow
But then I found cholesterol is full of sorrow
The last thing I want to do is to have to borrow
Somebody else's heart, because mine is full of fatty deposits
Ay-yi-yi! Ay-yi-yo!
Being boring is the way to go!
Ay-yi-yi! Ay-yi-yo!
Having fun is bad for you!
Having fun is bad for you!

When I'm dead put my head in the freezer
Right beside the corn and the peas
I may be dead but I am not deceased, dear
One day science will re-animate me
Oh I heard about the rich who when they die
Get themselves frozen cryogenic-wise
I know we can't afford to hire no company
When my heart don't beat no more and I lay rigourmortisously
But we got that freezer up on top our fridge
Can't squeeze in my whole body, baby, I'm just way too big
How I wish we had afforded that fancy Frigidaire
So you'd just have to chop off my legs and my derriere
When I'm dead put my head in the freezer
Right beside the corn and the peas
I may be dead but I am not deceased, dear
One day science will re-animate me
Oh I know baby, you're up for the task
You'll wrap me up with more than just string and plastic wrap
Using Tupperware, 'cause you care, and out of concern
That I'd come back to life with a case of freezer burn
When I'm dead put my head in the freezer
Right beside the corn and the peas
I may be dead but I am not deceased, dear
One day science will re-animate me
Oh when I thaw, when I thaw
Hope my new body's six feet tall or more
And if you can't find a man in time
Get a horse, I might make a nice centaur
Oh you'll see my face each night in your dreams
And when you go to the kitchen to fetch some ice cream
But don't worry honey, soon I'll be back on earth
When they cure death and get bodies for the rich guys first
When I'm dead put my head in the freezer
Right beside the corn and the peas
You can dispose of my body at your leisure
You know, I don't think that it ever suited me
When I'm dead put my head in the freezer
Right beside the corn and the peas
I may be dead but I am not deceased, dear
One day science will re-animate me

From the deepest, darkest depths of... Whitby!
Comes this sordid tale of speed...
Murderous mayhem..
Cataclysmic combustion...
Picturesque powered pistons...
Accellerating automotive alarms...
Stunningly stupifying stereo stunts!
One man... A dream... A car... A 1984... Plymouth... Horizon...
I loved the car from tail to grill
I wouldn't change a thing
I wouldn't trade the ashtray
For the Queen's engagement ring
But things they started going wrong
And went from bad to worse
The clutch went kinda funny
Then I couldn't use reverse
Still I loved my baby
And would not admit defeat
Just because it left a trail
Of rust along the street
It kept on running bravely
On duct tape and a prayer
Plus a monthly tribute to
The guy who did repairs
It all seems so unfair (The man was glad the day he bought)
Horizon!
Horizon!
Till one day on the parking lot
They called 401
My car became the meat between
A Buick-Honda bun
I saw some parts go flying
That you really need to drive
My car had become roadkill
Though it never was alive
Left a muffler in the passing lane
A hubcap in the slow
The windshield on the median
A headlight in the snow
And as I skidded off the road
The other drivers laughed
My middle-finger greeting
Would be my epitaph
Death would come at last (Here lies the man who dared to buy)
Horizon!
Now I look at my bent fender
The twisted wheel rim
I wonder if Horizon
Will ever drive again
But I know that this was not the end
Road warriors die hard
And I signed this Mr. Iacoca's
Organ donor card
The steel will get recycled
And they'll build another car
Bigger, faster, stronger
An automotive star
My quest will then begin
And revenge will soon be mine
As I drive my gleaming three-door
Orange Chrysler Frankenstein
Searching for that Buick
To try to end it's days
We'll settle off the score
And then we'll drive away (The sun will rise again on the)
Horizon!
My Horizon!
My Horizon!

I spend my days watching tv with a beer
(ooh-ahh, you're fat)
This seems to have caused my upper belly to appear
(ooh-ahh, you're fat)
Then one day, my woman went and left me
(she did not want to sleep with a whale)
She said she found someone more manly
(a body that could not fail)
So I went and I looked into the mirror
(you look like a big tub of goo)
And I dreamed of being big and manly
(dreaming is the best you can do)
I though to myself, what would I ask for
(if someone gave you a wish)
I think I'd like to look like my hero
(he's one big manly bisch)
I want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger
I don't want to be fat and weak, oh no, oh no
I want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger
I want a manly physique
I put down the cheetos and I went on a crash diet
(carrots were all you ate)
Then I noticed that my skin was turning orange
(you're just a big mistake)
Then I overdosed on diet pills
(too bad you did not die)
Still I want to look like my idol
(the great big beefy guy)
I want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger
I don't want to be fat and weak, oh no, oh no
I want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger
I want a manly physique
I bought myself a weight set and some steriods
(to make you big and strong)
And I worked out really really hard
(but it did not last for long)
I put out my back, and the steroids made me sterile
(not like it mattered anyway)
And about looking like my hero
(he has one thing to say)
I don't want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger
I don't mind being fat and weak, oh no, oh no
I don't want to look like Arnold Schwartzenegger
It's easier being fat and lazy
You'll never look like Arnold Schwartzenegger
You'll always be fat and weak, oh yes, oh yes
You'll never look like Arnold Schwartzenegger
You are fat and ugly

Well grab your shoes, and grab your balls
And lets head to those heavenly halls
Sit on down and grab a beer
Because bowling time is pretty near
Tortured men forget their pain
When they head to the bowling lane
Let's go bowling
Let's go bowling, got a coupon
Let's go bowling, for a free game
Let's go bowling
Let's go bowling, let's go bowling
Let's do it now
Because Wrestlemania's fine by me
Monster trucks are a sight to see
A cultured life, that's nice and all
But there ain't nothing better than a bowling ball
You know the sport that God would choose
Is the one with the three-tone leather-sole shoes
Let's go bowling
Let's go bowling, got a coupon
Let's go bowling, from a juice can
Let's go bowling
Let's go bowling, let's go bowling
Let's do it now
Yes bowling! The sport of kings! The sport of queens!
The sport of dukes...Earls...Bos...Johns...anything that
Looks good when it's embroidered on a polyester shirt.
And you know, bowling takes on this almost religious
Significance because it's so much like a religion.
I mean the ball is round, like the earth, and it's got
The holy trinity: the Father, the Son, and the..
Thumbhole. And as you roll the ball down the alley of
Life...Striking out the pagan religions of the past...
Sparing them the anguish of their lives in the gutter...
Framing their existence in an eternal metaphysicalness
Something like a 7-10 split!
We'll be bowling in Moosejaw (yeah, yeah)
We'll be bowling in Hickton (yeah, yeah)
We'll be bowling in Gander (yeah, yeah)
And in the Kingston Township (yeah, yeah)
We'll be bowling Vancouver, bowling Saskatoon
Someday they'll even be bowling on the moon
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let's go bowling
Let's go bowling, got a coupon
Let's go bowling, for free shoes
Let's go bowling
Let's go bowling, let's go bowling
Let's do it now

Me work hard 5 days a week
Sweeping garbage from the street
Come home not want book to read
Not 'nuff pictures for me see
Sit right down in favourite chair
Wearing only underwear
Favourite night is Saturday night
'Cause me can watch hockey fights
Me Like Hockey!
Me not like pro basketball
'Cause me short and they all tall
Baseball slow like Forrest Gump
'Cept when Robby spits on ump
Wrestlemania not so great
Me like to see Hulk Hogan skate
TV soccer not so hot
You play bad then you get shot
Me Like Hockey!
Swedish players must be geeks
'Cause they still got own real teeth
Not like Finnish players names
What's a Teemu anyways?
Russians worse in history
Got stupid names like Valery
Me like Sergei Federov
Me like him more if head were off
ha! ha! ha!
Me Like Hockey!
Please Mr. Linseman let the players
fight
Friends come over put game on
Argue then we lat bets down
Got bag of chips and case of Bud
Should last till end of first period
But Yankees they win the World Cup
Me think the cheat use glowy puck!
Maybe if we want to win her
Maybe we should play in winter
Me Like Hockey!

Open my eyes, what a beautiful day
Just the type that makes me want to say hooray
I'm still a little fuzzy-headed from my sleep
Into my brain reality seeps
Look all around me, can't believe what I see
These little short people are surrounding me
I've got a white beard, a suit made of red
My soul becomes filled with a keen sense of dread
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Hop out of bed, kick an elf in the chest
What an awful way to awake from a rest
"Santa, oh, Santa," the little gnomes cheer
"You shouldn't be nasty at this time of year!"
"What do you mean?" I say in a rage
"And what are you doing with those big burlap bags?"
The elves they do roar, "Why their full of toys
For you to deliver to the good girls and boys. "
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Resigned to my fate, I load up the sleigh
Harness the reindeer and get under way
It's nippy up here in the cool arctic sky
Good thing I remembered that bottle of rye
Flying over rooftops, throwing out toys
Hopefully crushing those good girls and boys
Like a bad dream, I pray for release
Please let this hellish existence be ceased!
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
From this nightmare I finally awake
My brain is on fire, my hands they do shake
But wait, they're not hands, they're cute little paws
I'm the Easter Bunny, I'm not Santa Claus!
Oh God, I'm the Easter Bunny
Oh God, I 'm Easter Bunny
Oh God, I'm Easter Bunny
Oh God, I'm Easter Bunny

The table's set ant the turkey's out
Christmas is here, let out a shout
The family's gathered all about
Christmas, Christmas is here!
Everyone is wearing big smiles
They all try to act nice for a while
Then George calls his in-laws vile
Christmas, Christmas is here!
Always at one time of the year
When everyone's problems disappear
And everyone smiles from ear to ear
Christmas, Christmas is here!
George has been drinking a lot
He just can't keep out of the sauce
He says his wife's been screwing her boss
Christmas, Christmas is here!
Margaret throws her food in his face
People are hungry, it's really a waste
Then she screams, "How does that taste?"
Christmas, Christmas is here!
Always at one time of the year
When everyone's problems disappear
And everyone smiles from ear to ear
Christmas, Christmas is here!
George picks up the carving knife
Weilds it around and starts to slice
Henry cocks his shotgun twice
Christmas, Christmas is here!
Henry says, "Hey, what's the deal?
Just sit down and finish your meal
Or I'll pump you full of steel!"
Christmas, Christmas is here!
Always at one time of the year
When everyone's problems disappear
And everyone smiles from ear to ear
Christmas, Christmas is here!
Police arrive just after eight
Responding to a noise complaint
Open the door, what a grisly fate
Christmas, Christmas is here!
Fa la la and deck the halls
Blood was spattered on the walls
Merry Christmas, one and all!
Christmas, Christmas is here!
Always at one time of the year
When everyone's problems disappear
And everyone smiles from ear to ear
Christmas, Christmas is here!
Always at one time of the year
When everyone's problems disappear
And everyone smiles from ear to ear
Christmas, Christmas is here!

Young Derrick would love to take my order
He works at the coffee place just up the street
He's happy and annoying with a smirk the size of Texas
He's my coffee enemy
Would you like a mochacino?
Or perhaps a cappucino?
Or maybe a frappucino?
Said Derrick wearing the chinos
All I really want is a cup of coffee
So strong the spoon stands up just a cup of coffee
All I really want is a cup of coffee
Give me a friggin' cup of coffee, Derrick
You should try out biscotti
Or a low-cal cabbage cookie
This muffin's only 3.50
And what's super great is that it's fat free
Don't wanna smell like an espresso
With your coffee scented soap
Maybe you should have some chai tea
Or maybe join me in some tai chi
All I really want is a cup of coffee
In a non-biodegradable cup just a cup of coffee
All I really want is a cup of coffee
Give me a friggin' cup of coffee
Oh Derrick why won't you listen to me
I don't want a magazine or a CD
I don't want a latte or a frappe
Just give me a coffee that doesn't taste crappe
All I really want is a cup of coffee (3X)
Give me a friggin' cup of coffee
All I really want (3X)
Give me a friggin' cup of coffee, Derrick

I'm gonna go out and suck at golf
Think I better take a muligan ya, ya

Can I get another mulligan?

<@#Arrogant_Worms_The_Last_Saskatchewan_Pirate.txt#@>
I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine
I had a little stretch of land along the C.P. Line
But times were hard, and though I tried, the money wasn't there
And bankers came and took my land, and told me "fair is fair".
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no
"Hire you now," they'd always laugh, "we just let twenty go!"
The government they promised me a measly little sum
But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum
Then I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone,
I'm gonna be a pirate on the river Saskatchewan.
'Cause it's a heave-ho, high-ho, coming down the Plains
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a ho-hey, high-hey, farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
You'd think the local farmers would know that I'm at large
But just the other day I saw an unsuspecting barge
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser
I rammed their ship and sank it, and I stole their fertilizer.
A bridge outside of Moose Jaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are a-quiver
'Cause they know that Tractor Jack is waiting in the bay,
I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay.
'Cause it's a heave-ho, high-ho, coming down the Plains
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a ho-hey, high-hey, farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
Well, Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat
He followed on the shoreline, 'cause he didn't own a boat,
But cutbacks were a-coming and the Mountie lost his job
So now he's sailing with me and we call him Salty Bob.
A swinging sword, a skull-and-bones, and pleasant company,
I never pay my income tax and screw the G.S.T. (Screw it!)
Prince Albert down to Saskatoon, the terror of the sea
If you want to reach the Co-op, boy, you gotta get by me!
'Cause it's a heave-ho, high-ho, coming down the Plains
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a ho-hey, high-hey, farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
Well pirate life's appealing but you don't just find it here
I heard that in Alberta there's a band of buccaneers
They roam the Athabasca from Smith to Fort McKay
And you're bound to lose your Stetson if you have to pass their way
Well, winter is a-coming and a chill is in the breeze
My pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze
I'll be back in springtime, but now I've got to go
I hear there's lots of plundering down in New Mexico.
'Cause it's a heave-ho, high-ho, coming down the Plains
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a ho-hey, high-hey, farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
'Cause it's a heave-ho, high-ho, coming down the Plains
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a ho-hey, high-hey, farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores
<@#Arrogant_Worms_Things_Are_Looking_Bad_For_Santa.txt#@>
When Christmas rolls around Santa's busy in his shop
Managing his elves and trying to cut costs
His plant is out of date it needs modernization
He has quite a large debt accumulation
Elves are expensive, they do not come cheap
And you would not believe the bills for the heat
Santa stands to lose everything he owns
If he defaults on yet another of his loans
Things are looking bad for Santa
He can slip down chimneys but he can't balance accounts
Things are looking bad for Santa
If he wrote a cheque it probably would bounce
He hires an accountant to come and advise
The accountant says that he has been unwise
'cause even if the costs were cut down drastically
It's still hard to make money giving things away for free
Santa Claus decides to wipe the slate clean
He lays off half the elves and buys mordern machines
Then he auctions off all unnecessary stock
He gets a lot for Rudolf from Ripley's believe it or not
Things are looking bad for Santa
He's made all sorts of changes but it hasn't fixed a thing
Things are looking bad for Santa
Missus Claus has left him and the elves are picketing
Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The big fat pig has got to go!
Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The big fat pig has got to go!
Santa's had enough he locks the elves outside
He butchers all the reindeer and sells off all their hides
He sells his shop to Disney and leaves the north pole
To go find cheaper labour down in Mexico

That fact that I'm leaving my life and starting all over again,
One day sittin back looking at old memories,
Thinkin bout those little things that you told me,
But what if I wasn't jokin,
They're all lookin at those who are provokin,
Little things that worry me are about to end
Just like you and me being friends
If I knew that this was gonna happen,
Then I would of just said,
[Chorus:]
The words 'foolish' and 'Leave me alone'
Don't go together that's what you said to me on the phone
But I don't think so, those are what I am.
Sweet dreams little one is what he said,
You're only foolish, that didn't go to my head
As little as you are you want left alone
Confusing as a dog that hates bones
Most girls love attention but I don't.
Think of me as a distraction
Stoppping your work stopping your attraction
Little as I know.
I'm a girl who likes who no one would ever of dream of me thinking,
Little as I don't know.
Whatever caused me to stop the moment
The moment when I wished say I love you.
But my dreams go away
[Chorus:]
The words 'foolish' and 'Leave me alone'
Don't go together that's what you said to me on the phone
But I don't think so, those are what I am.
Sweet dreams little one is what he said,
You're only foolish, that didn't go to my head
As little as you are you want left alone

Fuck I can't let this kill me, let go

Here's a letter for you

And the conversation dies
Apologize for the past

Are we cursed to this life
Fuck I can't let this kill me, let go

I'm talking to the ceiling
My life just lost all meaning
Do one thing for me tonight
I'm dying in this silence
The last star left in heaven
Is falling down to earth and
Do you still feel the same way
Do you still feel the same way
Fuck I can't let this kill me, let go

It wouldn't last to the end babe
Never thought it would
I thought you were different
Bye my love forever i'll miss you

<@#Avril_Lavigne_Let_Go.txt#@>
Hey, yea, ohoh (3x)
I've only got 3 dollars left in my hands,
I walk down the sidewalk as I pass a dirty man
Walk up the staircase that leads to my hotel
I'm living in at a fancy hotel, yeayea
Then I'll go up to my room
Fixate on what's the deal
I'm alone again
Then I will crawl into the bed,
And call you up to tell you off
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm on my own, would you leave me alone
Before I lose my mind
Because you lied and so did I
Oh oh oh, would you cry-y-y
If I let you go tonight if I let you go tonight
Yea, yea, let go
Hey, yea, ohoh
I'll probably wake up a little sad
But then I'll get up and let go of it all instead
Because really it's not worth it
To get in a mess over him
To bother get stressed over him
So I'll just go on with my life
And fixate on everything else but you
Yea I'll just go on with my life
I have no reason to please you anymore
'Cause I'm on my own, would you leave me alone
Before I lose my mind
Because you lied and so did I
Oh oh oh, would you cry-y-y
If I let you go tonight if I let you go
So find your way out of my sight
I know it's hard, it's tough to laugh
It's all messed up, don't play this game
[Chorus:] 2x
Yea, yea
Getting stressed over you
Getting messed over you
<@#Avril_Lavigne_Mobile.txt#@>
Went back home again
This sucks gotta pack up and leave again
Say goodbye to all my friends
Can't say when I'll be there again
It's time now to turn around
Turn my back on
Everything (turn my back on) everything....
[Chorus]
Everything's changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile.
Everything's changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile.
Start back at this life
Stretch myself back into the vibe
I'm waking up to say I've tried
Instead of waking up to another TV GUIDE
It's time now to turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground oh oh oh...
[Chorus]
Everything's changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know everywhere I go I'm a mobile
I'm a mobile
Hanging from the ceiling life's a mobile spinning round
With mixed feelings crazy and wild...
Sometimes I want to scream out loud...
Everything's changing
Everywhere I go
All out of my control
Everything's changing
Everywhere I go out of what I know
La la la la la la (la la)
La la la la la la (la la)
La la la la la la (la la la)
La la la la la la
[Chorus]
Everything's changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know everywhere I go I'm a mobile

<@#Avril_Lavigne_One_Of_Those_Girls.txt#@>
La la la, la la la la
I know your kind of girl
You only care about one thing
"Who you've seen, or where you've been?"
"Who's got money?"
I see that look in your eyes
It tells a million lies
But deep inside, I know why
You're talking to him
I know what you're all about
I really hope he figures it out
[Chorus]
She's one of those girls
They're nothing but trouble
Just one look and now you're seeing double
Before you know it she'll be gone
Off to the next one
She's so good that you won't see it comin'
She'll take you for a ride, and you'll be left with nothing
You'll be broke, and she'll be gone
Off to the next one
Oh, oh, oh
Off to the next one
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh
She's gonna be the end of you
At least that's what they say
It's been a while
You're in denial
And now it's too late
The way she looks makes you hide
All the warning signs
'Cause her blond hair, her blue eyes
Makes you wanna die
I know what she's all about
I really hope you figure it out
[Chorus]
You know it's a game, you know it's a game
She keeps playing around with your head
Playing around with your head
She's so insane, so insane
She's the one to blame, she's the one to blame
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Off to the next one
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Off to the next one
<@#Avril_Lavigne_Stop_Standing_There.txt#@>
All this talking to you
I don't know what I'm to do
I don't know where you stand
What's inside of your head
All this thinkin' of you
Is that what you're doin' too
You're always on my mind
I talk about you all of the time
Don't waste another day
Don't waste another minute
I can't wait to see your face
Just to show you how much I'm in it
So open up your heart
Help me understand
Please tell me who you are
So I could show you who I am
You're just standing by
You're just wasting time
Why don't you just tell me the truth about me and you
And as the time goes by
I hope you realize
If you ask me to
I just might be with you
So don't waste another day
Don't waste another minute
I can't wait to see your face
Just to show you how much I'm in it
Open up your heart
Help me understand
Please tell me who you are
So I could show you who I am
Stop standing there, standing there
And stop acting like you don't care
And stop being scared, being scared
Stop acting like you don't care
So, don't waste another day
Don't waste another minute
I can't wait to see your face
Just to show you how much I'm in it
Open up your heart
Help me understand
Please tell me who you are
So I could show you who I am
So, don't waste another day
Don't waste another minute
I cannot wait to see your face
Just to show you how much I'm in it
Open up your heart
Help me understand
Please tell me who you are
So I could show you who I am
Who I am,
Who I am,
Who I am
<@#Avril_Lavigne_The_Punk_Show.txt#@>
Hanging out behind the club on the weekends
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour
I remember that it's the first time that I saw her there
She's getting kicked out of school cause she's failing
I'm kinda nervous, cause I think all her friends hate me
She's the one, she'll always be there
She took my hand and I made it I swear
Chorus
Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, better sneak me through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I Can't wait until her parents go out of town
Cause I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
When we said we were gonna move to Las Vegas
I remember the look her mother gave us
17 without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a fuckin explanation
(Repeat Chorus)
Black and white picture of her on my wall
I waited for her call, she always kept me waiting
And if I ever got another chance I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting
(Repeat Chorus)
With the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight)
With the girl at the punk show......
<@#Backstreet_Boys_Dont_Want_You_Back.txt#@>
You hit me faster than a shark attack
You saw my picture
On the Backstreet's Back, alright
And you were more than just a pretty face
But how you fooled me, I'm still amazed baby
But I should have known that I would be
Another victim of your sexuality
But now we're done and over with
I don't want you back
[Chorus]
Don't want you back
'Cause you're no good for me
I know
That's all I can say
Don't want you back
Forgive my honesty but you gotta go
I don't want you back
You started going out with so-called friends
But I was blind and so I lost all common sense
But there were things that made me realize
Like all the hundred no, thousand lies
[Chorus]
Baby, don't bother telling me your reasons why
Just let us sing this story 'bout you and I
Don't want you back
That's all I know
Don't want you back
All I can say
Don't want you back
You know you gotta go
[Chorus]
<@#Backstreet_Boys_Endlessly.txt#@>
Ohhhh Ohhhh
Late at night you call on the phone
We talk about the day
When you found out he was cheating
You tell me that it hurts to the bone
To trust someone that way
To find out he was decieving
And I know I've always just been your friend
But if you look my way I'll make sure that you'll never hurt again
Do you know I exist
Just to promise you this
Endlessly to be true to you
And if you answer my prayer
I'd cross my heart and I'd swear
Endlessly to be true to you
And if you'd only see
How beautiful you and I would be
Endlessly
Ohhh ohh yea
I remember when you fell in love
I could not believe
That it was not with me
I said a secret prayer up above
And put my heart away
So that you could be free
And I know right now your broken in two
But did you know my hearts been broken since the day i met you
Do you know I exist
Just to promise you this
Endlessly to be true to you
And if you answer my prayer
I'd cross my heart and I'd swear
Endlessly to be true to you
And in my sweetest dream you'd learn to put your faith in me
Endlessly
Sometimes the thing you need is the one thing you can't see
If you put your faith in me
How beautiful you and I would be
Do you know I exist
Just to promise you this
Endlessly to be true to you
And if you answer my prayer
I'd cross my heart and I'd swear (I'd swear)
Endlessly to be true to you
And if you'd only see
How beautiful you and I would be
Endlessly
<@#Backstreet_Boys_Helpless_When_She_Smiles.txt#@>
She keeps her secrets
In her eyes
She wraps the truth
Inside her lies
Just when I can't say
What she's done to me
She comes to me
And leads me back to paradise
She's so hard to hold
But I can't let go
[Chorus]
I'm a house of cards
In a hurricane
A reckless ride
In the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain
Is all I wanna feel
She tears away just like a child
She drives me crazy
Drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh when she smiles
Maybe I'd fight if I could
It hurts so bad
But feels so good
She opens up just like
A rose to me
When she's close to me
Anything she'd ask me to
I would
It's out of control
But I can't let go
[Chorus]
When she looks at me
I get so weak
[Chorus]
<@#Backstreet_Boys_I_Need_You_Tonight.txt#@>
Open up your heart to me
And say what's on your mind, oh yes
I know that we have been through so much pain
But I still need you in my life this time, and
[Chorus]
I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
I really need you tonight
I figured out what to say to you
But sometimes the words they, they come out so wrong, oh yes they do
And I know in time that you will understand
That what we have is so right this time, and
[Chorus]
All those endless times we tried to make it last forever more
And baby I know
I need you
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
I really need you, oh
[Chorus]
All I know is baby
I really need you tonight
<@#Backstreet_Boys_If_You_Knew_What_I_Knew.txt#@>
Oh yeah
7 am, thinking ?bout you
Wondering
If the thoughts I'm feeling
You're feeling too
Like a new born child
Soft to the touch
Baby is it possible
To love someone so much
I wish I may
I wish I might
Be that certain someone
You wish for every night
If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't say what you said
(Say what you said)
If you knew what I knew
We?d be together instead
(Together instead)
Of you breaking my heart
(Breaking my heart)
Over things that aren't true
My lady, yes, my lady
(My lady)
If you knew what I knew
Time passes by
The only tears I cry
Are filled with disillusion
And fears I have inside
Like a lost soul
I feel like I'm all alone
(All alone)
If only I could feel your pain
Within your heart of stone, woh oh
I wish I may
I wish I might
Be that certain someone
You wish for every night
If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't say what you said
(Say what you said)
If you knew what I knew
We?d be together instead
(Together instead)
Of you breaking my heart
(Breaking my heart)
Over things that aren't true
My lady, yes, my lady
If you knew what I knew
Then you wouldn't have to go away
If you knew what I knew
Then you would be here to stay
Right by my side always
(Always)
If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't say what you said
(Say what you said)
If you knew what I knew
We?d be together instead
Of you breaking my heart
(Breaking my heart)
Over things that aren't true
My lady, yes, my lady
(My lady)
If you knew what I knew, my, baby
You would have never have said what you said
If you knew what I knew, my, baby
We would be together instead
If you knew what I knew, my, baby
You would have never have said what you said
If you knew what I knew, my, baby
We would be together instead
Girl if you knew

If only you knew, my baby
We would be together instead
(Girl if you knew)
If you knew what I knew, my baby
(You know you will always)
You would have never have said what you said
If you knew what I knew, my baby
We would be together instead

If you knew what I knew, my baby

You would have never have said what you said

So I lay awake another hour
Just like the one before
The shadows play a game with my head
I can't take this anymore
I hear the sound
Of my own breathing
It makes me miss you more
[Chorus]
Wake me up when it's over
After the ending
When the damage has all been done
I don't wanna be somewhere
Where you can watch me as I bleed
Just leave me here in pieces
In pieces
I can't take the chance
Of running into
You running into me
So lock the door
And close the window
I just wanna see
Until the day
Inside my future
When I'll be on my feet
[Chorus]
If you want you can find me
On the dark side of the sun
Babe I don't wanna see what we've become
The damage has all been done
Wake me up when it's over
After the ending
Wake me up when it's over
When the damage has all been done
The damage is done
I don't wanna be somewhere
I don't wanna be somewhere
Where you can watch me as I bleed
Leave me here in pieces
Just leave me in pieces
Just leave me in pieces
Just wake me up when it's over (in pieces)
Just wake me up when it's over

On the road is rough, especially the loneliness

And it's only been one day
Since I been away
And aw lady I say I long to kiss you
And hold you in my arms
The nights are much too long when you're gone
Baby that's why...

No matter what you do

Where I stop, who knows
Whatever I do

I'm gonna rush, gonna rush over.
<@#Backstreet_Boys_Over_Her.txt#@>
You know I been trying to figure out
Just what's going on
Am I over her?
I been doing a lot of thinking lately
Am I over her?
And I'm really missing you
It's been 3 months, 3 hours, 3 days
Since the last time I seen your pretty face
My decision to bring this to an end
And I'm caught up in reminscing
Having faithful visions of long walks, long talks
Play fights, late nights
It's been on my mind since Valentine's
Cause I had your heart and I let it slide
I ask myself time and time again (again I'm trying to comprehend that)
Unanswered questions still (things to be are meant to end)
Am I over her? (am I over her?)
Am I over her?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her?)
I can't think straight
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love?
I was going through some things that I couldn't explain
Now my situation's taking a big change
They say the grass is greener on the other side of town
Now I'm kinda wishing you would come back around
Is she sad or is she mad?
Does she have a new man, does she have it like that?
It's been so long, thought I would've moved on
Could've been strong and picked up the telephone
I ask myself time and time again (again I'm trying to comprehend that)
Unanswered questions still (things to be are meant to end)
Am I over her? (am I over her?)
Am I over her?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her?)
I can't think straight
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love?
It's water under the bridge
But I can't seem to forget
All the plans we made, all the time we spent
Makes me reminisce
I still see your face
All this love I can't replace
Am I over (am I over)
Am I over her? (her now)
Am I over her?
Am I over her? (am I)
Am I over her? (am I over)
Tell me am I really over my my love (my love my love)
I can't think straight (my love)
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her (never gonna be over her)
Am I really over my love? (never gonna be)
No
Am I over her?
No not over her no
Ohhhhhh
Am I over her?
Am I over her? (over her)
Am I over her?
Am I over her?
Tell me am I really over my my love (am I over her, am I over her?)
I can't think straight (I'm not over her)
Cause I'm too busy thinking of her
Am I really over my love? (ahh oooh)
I'm not over my my my love
I'm not over my my my love
I'm not over my my my love (oh no no)
I'm not over my my my love
Am I over her? (I'm not over my my my love)
Am I over her? (I'm not over my my my love)
Am I over her? (I'm not over my love my love, she's my love, she's my)
Tell me am I really over my my love (she's my everything)

And I'm not rational
When I see you around
Your inconsistency
And you know it's dragging me down
You're so conflicted baby

You say I let you down
Baby take me in or just take me out

I'm so sorry
That I called you
I'm trying to pick up
The pieces of my life
I forgot that we were over
Tell me what went wrong
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Twelve days, four hours, twenty minutes
I'm stuck and you know you've got me in it
Broken glass on the floor from the picture frame
Shame, shame, shame
We had it all
This love so strong
Now everything
We had is gone
If you could read my mind
You'd know I've crossed that line
Cos I'm as sick as my secrets
Yeah, it's killing me
You know that I mean it
I need you next to me
There's nowhere to run
Girl I can't let you go
And it's twisted I know
But I just can't take it no more
Six miles, twelve lights till your front door
I'm on my way just like I have so many times before
Does he know that it's me you've been talking to?
Shame, shame, shame
If you could read my mind
I'm gonna fight to get you back this time
Cos I'm as sick as my secrets
Yeah, it's killing me
You know that I mean it
I need you next to me
There's nowhere to run
Girl I can't let you go
And it's twisted I know
But I just can't take it no more
I'm tired of all these lies
There's nothing but regret behind these eyes
All this love I could never show
I don't care any more
Give a damn who knows
Cos I'm as sick as my secrets
Yeah, it's killing me
You know that I mean it
I need you back with me
There's nowhere to run
Girl I can't let you go
And it's twisting my soul
But I just can't take it no more
Sick as my secrets
Yeah, it's killing me

Girl I can't let you go (nowhere to hide)
And it's twisted I know
But I just can't take it no more
Yeah, I just can't leave you alone
Yeah, yeah
Tired of all the lies
Oh babe you've got me stripped of my pride
Gonna shout it from a mountain top
Yeah, drain the oceans from the tears we've cried
Gonna break down these walls
Gonna stand tall
Gonna

I cannot hide, I can't erase
The way you make me feel inside

Baby my heart wants to reveal
I'm down on my knees
I'm asking you
These three words I want to hear from you
[Chorus]
Yes I will
Take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will
It's these three words that promise to
Yes I will
Give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you
Yes I will
Take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will
Baby I promise you
Yes I will
Give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you (a family)
Oh yes I will (oh baby)
This is no ordinary love
And I can never have enough (I can't enough of)
Of all the things you've given to me
You're my heart, my soul, my everything
Every night I thank you lord (I thank you lord)
For giving me the strength
To love her more and more
Each day I promise her
As long as I hear those three words

I stand beside you
In everything you do (yes I do)

One, two, three go
My baby, don't mess around because she loves me so
And this I know for sure
But does she really want to but can't stand to see me
Walk out the door
Don't try to fight the feelin' 'cause the thought alone

Thank God for mom and dad for stickin' through together
'Cause we don't know how
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya

You think you've got it, oh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it 'til' there's nothin' at all
We get together, oh, we get together
But separates always better when there's feelin's involved
If what they say is, nothin' is forever
Then what makes it, then what makes it, then what makes it
Then what makes it, then what makes it love the exception
So why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh are we so in denial?
When you know we're not happy here

When I wonder where I am
When I wonder why I take these chances
I try to breathe
I say to me, "believe"
And whatever comes, it's okay
'Cause I'm on my way
To somewhere better
I'm further every day
I'm on my way
I know it might take until forever
But everything could change today
So I'm on my way
To find that place
People say that I'm naive
'Cause I'm trusting and my heart is open
But I won't hide
I'm here to find who I am
And whatever comes is what's right
'Cause I'm on my way
To somewhere better
I'm further every day
I'm on my way
I know it might take until forever
But everything could change today
So I'm on my way
To find that place
I'll keep dreamin'
Til I get there
I'll be free
So goodbye to yesterday
I'm giving what it takes
'Cause I'm on my way
To somewhere better
I'm on my way
It could take forever
(And everything could change)
It could change today
'Cause I'm on my way

Sometimes dreams can be for real
Let your fairy wings take flight

Something in your Throat?
Wait A Minute are you trying to meow?
Ah Fella
I can see it when you're feeling low
You can't hide that from me
You're no status quo calico
So why keep trying to be?
'Cause you're more than that
You're my doggish cat
I wish you could see the you I see

If you bark
Celebrate it
Make your mark
Serenade it

Shoulda had a cat like you
And if
What you are
Is a strange you
Doesn't mean
You should change you
Only means
You should change your point of view
Hey, feline
You fetch just fine
To thine ownself be true
Your bow wow's
The cat's meow
It's how I know you're you
You don't need the bows
Or tiara
Bid your woes

Trust your nose
'Cause it knows the way to go
When you
Chase your tail
You're enchanting
Spirits sail
When you're panting
When you wail
You're a rover, Romeo
There is not
One hair of you
That I would rearrange
I love you the way you are
And that will never change

When a bee lies sleepin'
In the palm of your hand
You're bewitched and deep in love's
Long looked after land
Where you'll see a sun up in sky
With the mornin' dew
And where the days go laughin' by
As love comes callin' on you
Sleep on bee, don't 'waken
Can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the taken
I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams but he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee done told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love
I has found
Sleep on bee, don't 'waken
Can not believe what just passed
He's mine for the taken
I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams but he seems
Golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love

<@#Barbra_Streisand_After_The_Rain.txt#@>
After we love, we bathe in a glow
Remembering what happened a moment ago
Like after the rain, when the wind breezes a sigh
While it's resting on pillows of sky
Deep in your arms, it's peaceful and warm
Together we lay in a calm that comes after a storm
In a moment or two, we can hear the stars coming through
I love the quiet right after the rain here with you
After the rain, the birds want to fly
The trees all in green hang the leaves out to dry
Like puddles and pools, what your eyes let me see
Are their loving reflections of me
After a while, you touch me and then
I feel like a flower that longs for a shower again
And then lost in a kiss,
I could stay for hours like this
Though i don't know just what magic the raindrops contain
I know that everything's wonderful after the rain

What's it all about
Alfie
Is it just for the moment we live
What's it all about
When you sort it out
Alfie
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind
And if only fools are kind
Alfie
Then I guess
It is wise to be cruel
And if life belongs
Only to the strong
Alfie
What will you lend on
An old golden rule
As sure as I believe
There's a heaven above
Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers
Can believe in
I believe in love

Without true love you just exist

Until you find the love you've missed
You're nothing

When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day

All is fair in love,
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future none can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery, but all is fair in love
I have to go away
A writer takes his pen to write the words again
All in love is fair...
All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say, to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The losing side I'll play...
All is fair in love
I could have never left your side
A writer takes his pen to write the words again
That all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen to write the words again...
That all in love is fair...

I want a gown of diamonds
Long gloves and sweet perfumes
Hats made of silks and satins
Seaqueens and ostrich plums
I want to wear mascara
Polish my nails real bright
I want to be an actress
Actresses play all night
If I should sneeze it's a sign
All that I want to will be mine
Oh please, pretty, please
Dear nose make me sneeze
I want to find my true love
Like all the love songs say
I want to do what I want
I want to get my way
Wild dreams grow wise
When sweet childhood flies
Time waved a hand
And the breeze blue the sand from my eyes
I want a gown of kingdom
Diamonds would weigh me down
Pompoms and plums are pretty
If you're a circus clown
Funny how black mascara
Streaks when the tears begin
Nail polish, rouge and powder
Can't paint the sparkle in
Once I was slaved to a sneeze
Now sneezing is just a disease
A rose is a rose
And a nose just a nose
True love's a phrase for love songs
Real love's a leaving thing
I want the love worth living
I want the things I sing
I want the love worth living
I want the things I sing
<@#Barbra_Streisand_As_If_We_Never_Said_Goodbye.txt#@>
I don't know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here
Yes, a world to rediscover
But I 'm not in any hurry
And I need a moment
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always
Feel the early morning madness
Feel the magic in the making
Why, everything's as if we never said goodbye
I've spent so many mornings just trying to resist you
I'm trembling now, you can't know how I've missed you
Missed the fairy tale adventure
In this ever spinning playground
We were young together
I'm coming out of make-up
The lights already burning
Not long until the cameras will start turning
And the early morning madness
And the magic in the making
Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye
I don't want to be alone
That's all in the past
This world's waited long enough
I've come home at last!
And this time will be bigger
And brighter than we knew it
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it
Could I stop my hand from shaking?
Has there ever been a moment
With so much to live for?
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
So much to say not just today but always
We'll have early morning madness
We'll have magic in the making
Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye
Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye
We taught the world new ways to dream!
<@#Barbra_Streisand_At_The_Same_Time.txt#@>
Think of all the hearts
Beating in the world
At the same time
Think of all the faces
And the stories they could tell
At the same time
Think of all the eyes
Looking out into this world
Trying to make some sense of what we see
Think of all the ways we have of seeing
Think of all the ways there are of being
Think of all the children
Being born into this world
At the same time
Feel your love surround them
Through the years they'll need to grow
At the same time
Just think of all the hands
That will be reaching for a dream
Think of all the dreams that could come true
Yes if the hands we're reaching with
Could come together
Joining me and you
When it comes to thinking of tomorrow
We must protect our fragile destiny
In this prescious life there's no time to borrow
The time has come to be a family
Ohhh...
Think of all the love
Pouring from our hearts
At the same time
Yes think of all the light our looks
Can shine and grow this world
At the same time
At the same time
Yes think what we've been givin
And yet think what we could lose
All of life is in our trembling hands
It's time to overcome our fears
And join to build a world that loves and understands
It helps to think of all the hearts
Beating in the world
And hope for all the hearts
Healing in the world
There's a healing music in our hearts
Beating in this world
At the same time
At the same time

Church bells were ringing and I heard angels singing
On the day that I said "I do"
He gave me a kiss and I thought wedded bliss
Was a mother-to be's dream come true
The he carried me across the threshold and I heard the front door slam
Cabin fever had just began
Pack his lunch at six-thirty but do not disturb him
Cause he wants to sleep in till eight
If I don't remind him it's time to get up
He tells me it's my fault he's late
Now I clean up the kitchen till noontime
And then I vacuum till a quarter to three
Cabin fever is killing me
At seven he calls up and says "don't cook supper"
When he knows that it's already done
My kids climb the curtains and I climb the walls
He's with the boys having fun
Let me try to get a breath of fresh air
And all I ever get's the third degree, I got to leave here
Cabin fever's killing me
Cabin fever's killing me
I gotta leave here
Cabin fever's killing me

It was just one of those things

Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me

Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine

You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me

Happy together, unhappy together

Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes
Everything must change
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And butterflies do fly
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And music
And music
Makes me cry

You don't have to shout,
From now on, I'm out of the kitchen.
What's more, I can't stand your cigarette brand,
And I'm switchen'.
I'm unhappy with things the way that they've occured.
It is time to face facts and not mince a word.
Certain parties with bird-brains are getting the bird.
Au revior, fare-thee-well and goodbye. And I'll tell you why.
A funny thing happened on my way to love.
I lost the young fella I've been dreaming of.
He changed while I waited and hoped for his call,
To someone who's no fun at all.
Well, I've stopped forgetting, what else can I do?
And much thanks for letting me practise on you.
It's farewell my lovely, excuse, please, my dust.
Unravel and travel I must.
No tears, no hurt surprise,
It's with a pleasant glow I realise.
If I have that much love so deep, true and strong.
All ready to hand you, my dear Mr. Wrong.
Then think of the treasures, the joy and delight,
I'll give to my own Mr. Right.
My own Mr. Right.
So asta la vista, ta-ta, toodle-oo,
The world will keep turning but not around you.
There's someone else waiting that's more than a friend.
Best wishes and dishes I'll send.
And so, so-long, I'm on my way.
Thanks for the buggy-ride and may I say -
If I have that much love so deep true and strong.
Already to hand you, my dear Mr. Wrong.
Then think of the treasures, the joy and delight,
I'll give, as long as I live, at night,
To my own Mr. Right.

Walk me over this horizon
Let the sun's light warm my face
Once again the times are changin'
Once again I lost my way
Well the words of ancient poets
Fall like dust upon my shoes
Greed has robbed me of my vision
Turned my heart from higher truths
So take my hand and lift me higher
Be my love and my desire
Hold me safe and honor bound
Take my heart to higher ground
I have walked too long in darkness
I have walked too long alone
Blindly clutching fists of diamonds
That I found were only stones
I would trade the world of ages
For a warmer hand to hold
The path of light is narrow
But it leads to streets of gold
So take my hand and lift me higher
Be my love and my desire
Hold me safe and honor bound
Take my heart to higher ground
In this world we move through shadows
Never sure of what we see
While the truth that lies between us
Come and share the truth with me
So take my hand and lift me higher
Be my love and my desire
Hold me safe and honor bound
Take my heart to higher higher ground

For better or for worse, "Oh Promise Me,"
Why does every bride glow ravishingly?
Within the secret heart of every bride
These are the words repeating, repeating,
Repeating inside: (Bing, bong, bing, bong)

You ask your looking glass,
What is it?
Makes you so exquisite?

And woman loved is woman glorified!
You'll make a beautiful,

Up with which below can't compare with.
Hurry - it's lovely up here...
Life down a hole takes an awful toll,
What with not a soul there to share with
Hurry - it's lovely up here!
Wake up, bestir yourself, it's time that you disinter yourself
You've got a spot to fill - a pot to fill
And what a gift package of showers, sun and love
You'll be met above everywhere with,
Fondled and sniffed by millions who drift by,
Life here is rosy - if you're a posy
Hurry it's lovely here!
Climb up geranium, it can't be fun subterran-ium
On the exterior, it's cheerier
Rsvp peonies, pollinate the breeze,
Make the queen of bees hot as brandy
Come give at least a preview of Easter
Come up and see the good we're giving
Come up and see the grounds for living
Come poke your head out,
Open up and spread out,
Hurry it's lovely here!

That your arms would hold me tight
And just when I
Thought love had passed me by
We met
That first look
In your eyes
I can't forget
You melted me
With your tender touch
I felt all fear and sorrow
Slip away
Now here we stand
Hand in hand
This blessed day
I promise you
As I give to you

That nothing in this world
Shall keep us apart
Come happily ever after be
The man I'll love
Until the very end
I've dreamed of you

And my best friend
For god must know

Oo oo oo woo oo woo oo oo oo oooo
When day is over (when day is over)
I close my tired eyes (I close my tired)
Music is in my soul
At a movie you can feel it touching your heart
And on every day of the summertime
You'll hear children chasing ice cream carts
They'll play it on your wedding day
There must be 'bout a million ways
To add some music
(Add some music add some add some music to your)
To your day
Add some music to your day

You're going out tonight
You put your real cool looking clothes on
You're getting uptight
About some little thing I said
All that I said
"I couldn't play the game"
It shouldn't make any difference to you
Go walking around night
The wind's really blowing
It's too cold to talk
I wonder if she's knowing
She should be with me
It could set her free
Come with me
Be with me
A part of me

Da da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da da
Everything we will see
Everything we will be

A new child is born
The mother is still waiting
Father's over there anticipating
Won't you be with me
It could set you (us) free
Come with me
Be with me

Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
The West coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a french bikini on Hawaii island
Dolls by a palm tree in the sand
I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California
(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

<@#Beach_Boys_Catch_A_Wave.txt#@>
Catch a wave and you're sitting
On top of the world
Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is
To the coastline craze
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin'
On top of the world
Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long
All the surfers going strong
They said it wouldn't last too long
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
And watch 'em they'll hit the road
And all be surfin' soon
And when they catch a wave they'll be
Sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the world
So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
Get yourself a big board
But don't you treat it like a toy
Just get away from the shady turf
And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin
On top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin'
On top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin'
On top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin'
On top of the world

Bring back my baby
Daybreak over the ocean
Moonlight still on the sea
Will the waves' gentle motion
Bring my babe, my baby back to me
And the stardust sprinkles the morning
Venus fades from my side
Will my love be returning
Like the sun to brighten up my life
And as day breaks over the ocean
Moonlight still on the sea
I pray the waves' gentle motion
Will bring my baby to me
Bring back

Darlin' if you could only
Hear this song in my heart
Then you know why you need never feel lonely
We'll soon be together, never to depart
And as long as there is an ocean
Long as stars are to shine
Baby you will always have my devotion
I'll love you pretty baby
Till the end of time
And as day breaks over the ocean
Moonlight still on the sea
I pray the waves' gentle motion
Will bring my baby to me
And as day breaks over the ocean
Moonlight still on the sea
I pray the waves' gentle motion
Will bring my baby to me
Darlin' if you should ever
Wonder what you should do
Baby you should know I'll love you forever
Maybe little darlin'
That will see you through
And as the sun sets over the ocean (over the ocean)
And the world fades from view
Baby always know our love and devotion
Will brighten up the night
We will make it through
Because I love you

May even treat you like a movie star
And no matter what he ever do for you
He can never love you like I can do
So if I leave her and you leave him

Feed you breakfast from a little cup
I want to pick you up
Rock you back and forth and make you smile
I want to hold you close for a while
I wanna tickle your feet
Drop you in your little tub
Wash your body and shampoo your hair
Be careful not to sting your eyes
When it's night I'll put you in your bed
And I'll bend and kiss ya on your head

Rock you back and forth and make you smile

The music spinning in our head
Can't forget the feeling of
The magic of that summer love
Ooh I wanna take you there
Do you wanna turn back the pages
Memories in photographs
The world is changed
And yet the game is still the same
Isn't it time we danced the night away
How about doing it just like yesterday?
Every time I think of you
All of those things we used to do
Remember those nights we spent
Little did we know how the time would fly
Isn't it time, oh, oh
Isn't it time, oh, oh
The good times never have to end
Now's the time to let them happen again
We can have ourselves a blast
Good times that aren't only in the past
Isn't it time we danced the night away
How about doing it just like yesterday?
Every time I think of you
All of those things we used to do
Remember those nights we spent
Little did we know how the time would fly
Isn't it time, oh, oh
Isn't it time, oh, oh
And as the sun goes down we raise a glass to kindness
To all the good times we share
Isn't it time we get ready again
Isn't it time we go steady again?
Isn't it time we danced the night away
How about doing it just like yesterday?
Every time I think of you
And all of those things we used to do
Remember those nights we spent
Little did we know how the time would fly
Isn't it time, oh, oh
Isn't it time, oh, oh
Isn't it time we danced the night away
How about doing it just like yesterday?

The part of love that I'm scared of
is the actual taking off
I can take a bumpy landing
But the start must be soft
soft, soft, soft
It must be soft
Some men need your attention
every minute, every hour
Some women need the proof
in every chocolate, every flower
Are you asking me down your runway?
I'm asking you to be watchtower
tower, tower, tower
to be watchtower
tower, tower, tower
Some men just like the journey
don't care if it's incomplete
Some women like a long trip
Some women short 'n' sweet
But if we lift each other up
Let's make it 10,000 feet
feet, feet, feet
10,000 feet
feet, feet, feet
The reason I'm still down here
and I've never taken off
Is I never had the courage
To rummage through love's loft
loft, loft, loft
The highest loft
loft, loft, loft
Cos when we're finally up there
and the engines have been stopped
the landing won't be fatal
if love's parachute's been dropped
dropped, dropped, dropped
love's been dropped
dropped, dropped, dropp

Leave those compliments well behind

I hear you've turned our young men
Into dribbling clowns

Is that all that you've got?
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?

Remove your clothes lie on their bed

To the easily led
And before you do just what you do
Here' one thought for you to chew
The men who run the business that you sell
They screw you too

But you're so handy, you're so handy

But you're so handy, you're so handy
Your picture's hanging pretty on the squaddies' walls
You're Steven's, Andy's, you're Ian's, you're Paul's
Your body's through of fondly in the rugby mauls
But you want more

With a minute's silence for the dead
And a minute's silence for the long-lost lovers
No one's really in the mood for beer
With a minute's silence for the child
And a minute's silence for the grieving mothers
There's not much talking going down here
With a minute's silence for the girl
With a minute's silence for the younger brother
Things have never been so clear
With a minute's silence for your friend
With a minute's silence for your long-lost folk
A minute's silence lasts a year
A minute's silence seems a year
And the park is filled with pain
For this age has laid it's claim
And the street's about to cry
Cos it longs for passers-by
It longs for passers-by

Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leaving their baby behind
Did you hear this poor little child was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away
Still she bravely worked at the one thing she knew
To earn a few pennies a day
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Fashioned from Annie's despair
With papers and shears, with wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum
As snow flakes drifted in to her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb
From artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair
And they found little Annie all covered with ice
Still clutching her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms, she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears
There must be a Heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers
And instead of halo, she'll wear round her head
A garland of genuine flowers
No more artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of society to wear
Those artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Fashioned from Annie's
Fashioned from Annie's despair

You've heard it said a thousand times
But only heard his Broadway lines
So, baby please go
Ain't, ain't part of the show
'Cause when Romeo needs no cue or prompt
The likelier your little heart be stomped
By, by baby don't go
Written, written in to his show
'Cause in the west-end show your life
Played understudy to every part
Got given all the dullest lines
Whilst the chorus girls danced on your heart
Baby please go (Baby please go)
Baby please go (Baby please go)
The sorry tale we'd all applaud
That only dripped and never poured
But, baby just go
Let him, let him on with his show
The leading snail leaves tell tale lines
The bullshit tower the loudest chimes
But, baby please go
Ain't, ain't part of the show
'Cause in the west-end show your life
Played understudy to every part
Got given all the dullest lines
Whilst the chorus girls danced on your heart
Baby please go (Baby please go)
Baby please go (Baby please go)
Romantic love lines that we adored (Baby forget them)
They were read by men from idiot board (Baby forget them)
So a message from the wisest guy to broad
Is best like flattery ignored
Baby just let him go
Let him on with the show
Baby just let him go

You've a knighthood in "I'm not listening"
She'll grab your sweaty bollocks
Then slowly raise her knee
Don't marry her, fuck me
When the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco Bay
And you realise you can't make it anyway
You have to wash the car
Take the kiddies to the park
Don't marry her, fuck me
Those lovely Sunday mornings
With breakfast brought in bed
Those blackbirds look like knitting needles
Trying to peck your head
Those birds will peck your soul out
And throw away the key
Don't marry her, fuck me
And the kitchen's always tidy
And the bathroom's always clean
She's a diploma in "just hiding things"
You've a first in "low esteem"
When your socks smell of angels
But your life smells of Brie
Don't marry her, fuck me
And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay
And you realise you can't make it anyway
You have to wash the car
Take the kiddies to the park
Don't marry her, fuck me
And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay
And you realise you can't make it anyway
You have to wash the car
Take the kiddies to the park
Don't marry her, fuck me

Hey church I was thinking
The Third World seems to be sinking
Can't you all get over there
And we'll have them all over here
And you can learn to catch your own food
And you can learn to build your own hut
And we'll make up the usual excuse
To keep them in the pubs till they're shut
Hey skin, I just thought
The doctrine Hitler has taught
Is still kicking off in the States
Can't you go and join with your mates
Join up with the clueless clan
Dress up in a bag and a skirt
End up looking like a jerk
Meanwhile we'll have gone mad
And the hidden jukebox plays us a song
For each and everyone
For black, white, straight and the gay
Celebrate you being away
Hey Turk I was thinking
OK so l may have been drinking
You can come drink over here
And we'll fuck them off over there
Whisky for the Greek and the Turk
Gin for the Arab and the Jew
A double arsenic for Mister Le Pen
Cause it's him who soils Europe and not you
And the hidden jukebox plays us a song
Everyone should sing along
With a message that'll ring and ring
These are the words that we sing
<@#Beautiful_South_Hot_On_The_Heels_Of_Heartbreak.txt#@>
Well the dice that I roll
Never seems to land on six
And that 48 card pack
Is short of some of my old tricks
The horse I bet on all those years ago
Is probably still running round the track
Like the marriage that I gambled on
I'm due my money back
We could've learned, we could've burned
From the firework love ignites
But that sparkler of romance
It proved impossible to light
If your country code or your green cross code
It can leave a lasting mark
History books have showed, follow safety code
And stamp out your final spark
Well the husband that I married once
I should've kept him in a cage
Kept him sitting waiting there
To show the tortoise middle-age
Cause you never back an animal
That struggles on two legs
I'd rather back a stray with three
Then one that sits up and just begs
Milk will curdle, cheese go off
Expensive wine mature
Kids grow up, parents down
Husbands turn to tragic bore
Receipts and life insurance all very well
But don't fully cover hate
So you can't return this idiot
When he's past his sell-by-date
<@#Beautiful_South_I_May_Be_Ugly.txt#@>
With a face like a crab's bus ticket
And skin like a llama's door mat
He was always gonna struggle
Nature had seen to that
He dreamt of those old-fashioned movies
Where Bogart gets the dame
But a lorry load of Lorre
Is still the score of pain
And he sings
I may be ugly
But I've got the bottle-opener
He may be fat but he's got the cork-screw
And in the party party politics of this ugly fame
There is no orderly queue
With a chin like a tramp's jukebox
And eyes like a rhino's ash-tray
It was always going to be pantomime
That made him sing and dance anyway
When you feel like London
And you look like Hull
You think Travolta pulled Newton, John
Who did John Hurt pull?
And they compliment the compliment
And it's driving you insane
It's like talking to a helicopter
When you know that you're a plane
Breath like a mountain goat's satchel
Nose like a pool of sick
But you always leave your flies ahoy
'Cause the world wants to suck your dick
Let it suck!
And he sings
I may be ugly
But I've got the bottle-opener
He may be fat but he's got the cork-screw
And in the party party politics of this ugly fame
There is no orderly queue

I'm walking through these pastures
I'm picking up sweet fruit
I'm shaking hands with people
That previously I'd shoot
But nothing will dissuade me
Nothing will dilute
I want to execute
I want to execute
And you tend to meet a lot of scum en route
It doesn't mean you've joined the other side
And because I still wear shorts and my smile is oh so cute
It doesn't mean I'll run away and hide
To a world where the leaders finally confess
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
To the burning of the Stock Exchange and bombing of the press
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes
I'm walking through these corridors
Where crime meets pantomime
They're laughing and they're drinking
On the swill of overtime
And no-one seems to know about
The death-wish that they've signed
Ah, life's unkind
Ah, life's unkind
And they see me as a potential new recruit
They rub their hands, slap their backs and smile
But I still wear suspenders underneath my business suit
So needn't worry about me for a while
So to a world without hunger, where royalty face death
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
To the breaking down of barriers of North, South,
East and West
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes
I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes

Ah, life's unkind

The super fly guy that you're courtin' now
Used to be a super-swot
And the clothes he thinks look retro
Are more 'Land That Time Forgot'
And if he knows where he was standin'
When J.F.K was shot
Chances are though time's passed him by
He's still standing within yards of that spot
So if your hangover feels like the dart board
Whilst the Christians hit bulls-eye
And paranoia that self-employer
Is following in heavy disguise
Off goes intelligence to join high tide
To drift with all the things we let go
Only tidal wave could possibly save
All we let go with the flow
Let go with the flow
Books we may have written, we don't know
Let go with the flow
Some enchanted city we won't go
He who used to float like a butterfly once
Is floatin' like a glorious moth
And the fly girls you hung around with then
Are lucky if they even take off
Dresses and skirts you thought were in
Everyone a dust-rag or dishcloth
Like every flat beer that they serve around here
We all start life as fabulous froth
So why do you work yourself that hard
When you don't even like the job?
Why do you hate the small-time thief
When it's your own time, you'll always rob?
Off goes intelligence to join high tide
To drift with all the things we let go
Only tidal wave could possibly save
All we let go with the flow
Let go with the flow
Books we may have written, we don't know
Let go with the flow
Some enchanted city we won't go
Let go with the flow
Books we may have written, we don't know
Let go with the flow

Love wars, love wars
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
But it's taking me under
Since you're not here
Its better when it's hard to get
But this hide and go seek
Well, it's making me weep
I promise to stop boxing you 'round
So don't scratch my face
End of round eight
We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor
Love wars (we don't need)
Love wars
Love wars (we don't need)
Love wars
The talks we had don't change a thing
They only bring rain
On top of pain
Flash back and uncover tracks
From when you left
With my best friend
We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor
Make love in peace
And then never ever cheat
Vow to be strong and let the band roll on
Love wars (we don't need)
Love wars
Love wars (we don't want)
Love wars
Love bombs explodin' in air
Until the last one
I really don't care
I remember losing my head
And calling you things
Like dirty names
We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor
Make love in peace
And then never ever cheat
Vow to be strong and let the band roll on
Love wars (we don't need)

Love wars (we don't want)

I should've kept my eyes shut
But I had to go and peep
But when you saw what I saw
Well, it's hard just to roll back to sleep
I would've kept my eyes shut
But I thought I heard you scream
And I've a penchant for violence
You don't seem to find in a dream
The scene a little clearer
My father with a rope
And in the cage, centre-stage
It's mother who's destined to choke
And she choke and we choke
On the words that we wish we'd not spoke
Just when you felt you had someone to trust
Out comes the man with the dagger and cloak
I should've read the novels
Believed every word
But the stories they wrote
Were so different to ones that I'd heard
I should've kept my eyes shut
My mouth should've closed
But the mixture of vomit and blood
Just crept up through my nose
It became a little clearer
As soon as I awoke
My father stands with rope in hand
A screaming mother kneels in hope
And she hope and we hope
That me words that she said won't provoke
A smile is removed and a petal is crushed
What once was a laugh has turned into a joke
You should've kept your mouth shut

Revolutions come and go but we'll just have to wait
The time is nigh to sit and plot exactly who you hate
Sirens in the neighbourhood
The gun must be misunderstood
A warden in a pool of blood
The palace laugh and so they should
Across the world in every coup a thousand guns without a clue
If only all the people knew, they've got their sight set up on you
Every war is always cursed
With "just who do you shoot at first?"
Think real hard and think Sandhurst
Take an officer he's the worst
Governments will rise and fall but royalty's still there
Don't worry if it's Queen or Duke try scything down the pair
And if you class the palace staff as devil's advocator
Just put them in an incubator and we'll deal with them later
Just a little bit later
We'll deal with you later
Just put them in an incubator and we'll deal with them later
Just throw them to the alligators and we'll deal with them later
So be wary of the liquidator
'cause we'll deal with you later
Just put them in a liquidator
And we'll deal with you later
We'll deal with you later.

Who's gonna tell the orange
They're actually brown
Who's gonna mop up for grey
When they've painted the town
It's the news that everyone dreads
That we're no longer painting it red
That our gag's still funny
But they've opted for a different clown
You were great in the sixties
But we're gonna have to pull you down
Nothing like the sound of the shallow
Jumping in at the deep
Royalty's balloon coming down
Is a memorable shriek
Nothing quite like the sickening clout
Of the dive into pool drained out
You excelled as a Queen
But you'll have to return the crown
You were great in the sixties
But we're gonna have to pull you down
Who's gonna tell the tall
They're beginning to shrink
Like who's gonna tell the Swiss
They're no longer in sync
We'll have to get the maroon
In a separate counselling room
Say "it may be your washer
But you seem to be fading to pink"
Yesterday's ice cool
Doesn't take long to melt and sink
Who's gonna tell the cities
That are acting like towns
They're actually just a village
That the posh surrounds
The diplomatic answer
To your 25 stone dancer
Is your act's still great
But we can't keep changing a pound
You were Queen in your day
But you're gonna have to give back the crown
You were great in the sixties
But we're gonna have to pull you down

He was just a social drinker but social every night
He enjoyed a pint or two or three or four
She was just a silent thinker, silent every night
He'd enjoy the thought of killing her before
Well he was very rarely drunk but very rarely sober
And he didn't think the problem was his drink
But he only knew his problem when he knocked her over
And when the rotting flesh began to stink
Cry freedom for the woman in the wall
Cry freedom for she has no voice at all
I hear her cry all day, all night
I hear her voice from deep within the wall
Made a cross from knitting needles
Made a grave from hoover bags
Especially for the woman in the wall
She'd knitted him a jumper with dominoes on
So he wore it everyday in every week
Pretended to himself that she hadn't really gone
Pretended that he thought he beard her speak
Then at last it seemed that he was really winning
He felt that he had some sort of grip
But all of his new life was sent a-spinning
When the rotting wall began to drip

Hoping, scheming, just one theme:
Will you be a wife?
Will you be some he-man's property?
Good news!

Doesn't help just you
On occasion, women can
Have their uses too
Mainly to extend the fam'ly tree
Pumpkin, extend with me!

Strapping boys... Like me!

All that love implies
We shall be a perfect pair
Rather like my thighs
You are face to face with destiny!
All roads lead to...
The best things in life are...
All's well that ends with me!
Escape me?
There's no way
Certain as "Do, Re,"

No one ever knows what makes a
Virtue or a vice
Let it be the spell I'm under
(These naked eyes)
Let it be the rain and thunder comes
I go above and beyond the sun
Some love never dies
Story of our lives, oh,
Swear by the stars above
And late at night I pray to myself
That you and I got everything we need
I'd give it all for you and me
Love is the earth and the wind

And its makin' us whole
Made me a little crazy, but I
Soon realize my fate

Some nights we made our love in the sand
And at the tide we held our love in our hands
And we listened to music the ocean was playing
The words that our two hearts were saying
That only two lovers can make
Let us ride on the wind while this moment is real
Your the light of my life
You are welcome to my Charade
And this felling knowing you blessed me forever
And believing I have been touch by your love
And the pleasure of knowing the evening won't tare us apart
We can follow the sun to the day light is gone
We can gaze up the sky till the night is over
Light of my life
You are welcome to my Charade
And this felling knowing you blessed me forever
We can follow the sun to the day light is gone
We can gaze at the sky till the night is over

<@#Bee_Gees_Gilbert_Green.txt#@>
On a hill, inside a house in Covewell Reach
Stands a man who's feeling very tired
Looking at a song he wrote some time ago
Could have made it big inside a Broadway show
Every day I go away and find ideas
Think I'll climb on top of somewhere high
Couldn't I write a song about a man who's dead?
Didn't really know if he was off his head
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes
Too bad for Gilbert Green
We can tell the world that he was right
Sitting in his attic on a sunny day
Mending fifty goblets that are worn
Humming to himself a song of yesteryear
His hearing wasn't good but his eyes were clear
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes
Too bad for Gilbert Green
We can tell the world that he was right
Now the house is burnt, along with Gilbert Green
Sad to see his sisters stand and cry
And in the basement lies a song that wasn't seen
Tells the tale of laughing men and yellow beans
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes
Too bad for Gilbert Green
Now we can tell the world that he was right
<@#Bee_Gees_Give_A_Hand_Take_A_Hand.txt#@>
I wish the world was run by all the little children
We could be happy once again
We won't hurt when we're like little children
And we won't ever feel the pain
Now when my fight for life on earth is over
And i leave 'cause i can't stay
All my love belongs to you hereafter
And we'll all join hand another day

Cryin' in the streets
They run for their lives
How can you lead them to heaven
They don't realize
Children of the night
How far can we fall
That which we say is forever
Ain't no time at all
Father and the son
Not too young to be old
Reach out for each other when
The world goes cold
Feel so good to be home
Are you ready for
[Chorus:]
My high civilization
Are you ready for
My high civilization
Are you ready for
My high civilization
Civilization
Everything for us to see
The ultimate society
Keeper of the sword
You fight for your rights
How can you live for the hour
When there's no yesterday
Dyin' in the streets
Your number your name
All that which keeps us together
Is bringing us the pain
Thunder of the guns
Comes the criminal mind
Working for the power of
The evil eye
We are never alone
Uncivilized

New York, Paris, Tokyo
Vienna to Berlin

Cairo to Iran
No city can hold you
There's no one in Avalon to show you
Minutes into seconds are you ready
For the end

I was so lonely without you baby, don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm goin' crazy without you baby, look at what I'm goin' through
How many times must I tell you I love
Tell you I love you times before
Don't believe that I'm worth all your kisses
I'm worth more then this , but you ignore
How many birds will I see high and flying
How many birds will it take till I get you
I will be crying, yeah
Maybe tomorrow you'll come walkin' my way
Come talkin' my way , you'll find out
My love for you will be stronger then truer
I'll look at you and there's no doubt
How many birds will I see high and flying
How many birds will it take till I get you
I will be crying, yeah
I was so lonely without you baby, don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm going crazy without you baby, look at what I'm goin' through

I should thank you for the flowers
Can't imagine how you came to think of those
That same colour rose, for me
My world is made up of memories
You and I, the laughter and tears
You never need to worry
I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you
I remember all the good things
When you held me for the first time
Things were right
On that rainy night, for us
Love, then, now and forever
No time real and right where we are
As good as my eyes can be
I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be some many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you
No one ever cried
No one ever stood in the way
Ev'rybody lies
Ev'rybody buys what love is today
You can be a fool
In the beginning, baby you were there
And when you're winning
What do you do
Don't ask me
I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others but...

I could be king of kings, wear a crown and all the things

I'd be an ace in an aeroplane and every year I'd fly to Spain.
If I could get the nerve to plant the seed.
[Chorus:]
Oh, tell me how to say goodbye.
I see her face in myself.
Why, tell me why I made her cry
If only had my mind on something else.
Captain of the submarine beneath the icebergs never seen.
A hero with a medal for everyday.
I find me fame,reach the top.
I keep on pushing never stop.
If I could just forget her name.

If only had my mind on something else.

I steal the night away
Drivin' my life away, dancin'
I was a romeo
I knew the art of romancin'
I was just one of the guys
And I thought I had it made
I needed someone to show me how to love
Juliet, oh Juliet
The night was magic when we first met
Juliet, oh Juliet
You know you taught me to fly
You take me clear to the sky
And all the people around the world can stand aside
For me and my baby, Juliet
Fighting with destiny, fortune and fame but kept losing
Playin' a joker's game, only myself I was foolin'
I was an average guy in a world of empty dreams
You've broken down all the walls with your love
Juliet, oh Juliet
This kind of lovin' you don't forget
Juliet, oh Juliet
You know you taught me to fly
You take me clear to the sky
And all the people around the world can stand aside
Close your eyes, Juliet, don't let go
On and on, our love is like the sun
It keeps going strong throughout eternity
I wanna love you in my life, sweet Juliet
Livin' without you in my life, oh my girl Juliet
Juliet, oh Juliet
This kind of lovin' you don't forget
Juliet, oh Juliet
You know you taught me to fly
You take me clear to the sky
And all the people around the world can stand aside
Juliet, oh Juliet
This kind of lovin' you don't forget

Love me
Just a little bit longer
Love me
I remember times my love
When we really had it all
You were always there to make me smile
To help me when I fall
Ooh I can't believe you're leaving me
When there's so much more to say
I can't let you go
Ooh Every time I look at you,
I still can feel the glow
Let it be, let it grow
Ooh Love me, please
Just a little bit longer
Together, we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me please,
Just a little bit harder
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it.
Oh all I ever wanted was
To have you to myself
Then I see you standing there
In the arms of someone else
Ooh You know a girl can stand so much
And it's more than I can fake
I can't let you go
Ooh every time I look at you
I still can feel the glow
Let it be, let it grow
Ooh Love me, please
Just a little bit longer
Together, we can make it
Our love is much
Too young to break it
Love me, please
Just a little bit harder
Never even tried to see things my way
It's hard on a woman
When love ain't no love at all
And when you walk away
From me baby you're gonna be sorry
I'm begging you please
Love me, please love me, love me
Just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me, please just a little bit harder
Just a little bit harder (just a little bit harder)
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me, please just a little bit longer

You've got a plan that could never go wrong.
You took advantage and the damage done.
It all comes back to me, baby.
It all comes back to me.
I played the fool and I went off the track.
And when I think of all it cost,
When the dice was cast,
You know I had to be crazy,
You know I had to be.
I've been telling lies,
And you forgive me but my heart still cries.
And you can understand
I'm just the man in the middle
Of a complicated plan.
No one to show me the signs.
I'm just a creature of habit
In a complicated world.
Nowhere to run to.
Nowhere to hide, to hide, to hide, to hide....
I know I let you down in so many ways.
I know that sorry doesn't tell you
What you need me to say.
But, I would die for you, baby.
Yes, I would die for you.
I've been in disguise.
And you forgive me and our love will rise.
And you can understand
I'm just the man in the middle
Of a complicated plan.
No one to show me the light.

And I'm feeling like a child again
Oh, it's taken me a little time
To find words to say

Stay
Make this forever
And lay love in my life
Come what may
Cherish each moment of love
As dreams go by
If the first glow fades
From the love we've made
I will hold you closer
In the night
Under heart and key
When there are hills to climb
And your world won't rhyme
I will fight until I get it right
'Cause you're part of me
The heart of me
Only if you'll stay

The trees and the towers are burning
Fear walks on the sea
My soul in the wasteland is yearning
What does tomorrow hold for me
What can I say
Just that I need you
With you here by my side
We can turn even the desert
Evergreen, as dreams go by

She was forty-one and her daddy still called her baby.
Everyone in Brownsville thinks she's crazy,
'cause she walks to the station with a suitcase in her hand.
And she's looking for a mysterious dark-haired man.
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn.
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.
But a man of low degree stood by her side,
And he promised he would take her for his bride.
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got on?

Never know how much I love you.
Never know how much I care.
When you put your arms around me,
I get a fever that's so hard to bear.
You give me fever when you kiss me.
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning.
Fever all through the night.
Sun lights up the daytime,
And moon lights up the night.
I light up when you call my name,
And you know I'm gonna treat you right.
You give me fever when you kiss me.
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning,
And fever all through the night.
Everybody's got the fever.
That is something you all know.
Fever isn't such a new thing.
Fever started long ago.
Romeo loved Juliet.
Juliet, she felt the same.
When he put his arms around her,
He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame.
Thou giveth fever when we kisseth.
Fever with thy flaming youth.
Fever, I'm afire.
Fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth."
Cap'n Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair.
When her daddy tried to kill him,
She said, "Daddy, oh, don't you dare.
He gives me fever with his kisses.
Fever when he holds me tight.
Fever, I'm his missus,
So Daddy, won't you treat him right."
Now you've listened to my story,
Here's the point that I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever,
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade.
They give you fever when you kiss them.
Fever if you live and learn.
Fever 'til you sizzle.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.

I'm always a flop at a top-notch affair,
But I've still got my health, so what do I care?
My best ring, alas, is a glass solitaire,
But I still got my health, so what do I care?
By fashion and foppery, I'm never discussed.
Attending the opry, my box would be a bust.
I never shall have that Park Avenue aire,
But I'm in such health, why should I care?
The hip that I shake doesn't make people stare,
But I got such health, what do I care?
The sight of my props never stops a thoroughfare,
But I still got my health, so what do I care?
Your face is your fortune, so some wise men spoke.
My face is my fortune, that's why I'm totally broke.
My ship ain't come in, but I grin while I bear,
'cause I got my vitamins:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
I still have my.
Got no diamonds, got no wealth.
I got no men, but I got my health.
<@#Bette_Midler_Leader_Of_The_Pack.txt#@>
"Hey, Betty? Is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?"
"Uh huh."
"Oh! Must be nice riding on that motorcycle after school, huh?"
"Uh huh."
"Is he picking you up after school today?"
"Unh uh!"
"Well, where'd ya meet him?"
I met him at the candy store.
He turned around and smiled at me.
Ya get the picture? (Yes, we see)
That's when I fell for the leader of the pack.
My folks were always puttin' him down.
Down! Down!
They said he came from the wrong side of town.
They told me that he was bad,
But I knew that he was sad.
And that's why I fell for the leader of the pack.
One day my dad said, "Find someone new."
New! New!
I had to tell my Jimmy that,
Whoa, we were through.
He stood up and then he asked me why.
But all I could do was cry.
I'm sorry I hurt you,
The leader of the pack.
He sort of smiled and he kissed me goodbye.
The tears were beginning to show.
And as he drove away from me
On that rainy, rainy night,
I begged him to go slow.
But whether he heard me
I'll never, never, never, never know!
Look out now, now, look out!
Whoa oh no no no! Whoa no no no! No! No!
I felt so helpless! What could I do-wo-wo-wo-wo?
The only, only love that we had was through.
At school they all stop and stare.
I can't hide the tears.
I just don't care!
I will never forget you,
The leader of the pack!
Whoa-oo-woh! Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!
The leader of the pack is,
Now he's gone!
The leader of the pack is,
Now he's gone!
The leader of the pack is, whoa gone!
Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!

Little lamb, little lamb
My birthday is here at last
Little lamb, little lamb
My birthday goes by so fast
Little bear, little bear
You sit on my right, right there
Little hen, little hen
What game should we play and when?
Little cat, little cat
Oh, why do you look so blue?
Did somebody paint you like that
Or is your birthday too?
Little fish, little fish
Do you think I'll get my wish?

[Man:] "All right! She's gonna sing!"
[Rose:] "All right, we all turn to page 438.
Now, you know we all gonna sing along.
Oh, I do love a revue."
Ohhhhhh!
You know, women don't like this woman,
'cause I always speak my mind.
But the men ain't crazy about me,
'cause I love to take my time.
If you're gonna love this woman,
Gotta love me with a thrill,
'cause, baby, if you don't,
I gotta find a man who will.
Love me with a feeling.
You got to love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',
Or you don't love me at all.
You know, I'm the kind of woman,
I don't want no halfway stuff.
If you're gonna turn me loose, baby,
Be sure I had enough.
You know, the cops once took me in,
But I did not need the bail.
I just shook it for the judge and he,
He put that cop in jail.
You got to love me with a feeling.
You got to love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',
Or you don't love me at all.
"All right, Milledge, this one's for you."
There was one cat who could not make it,
And Milledge was his name.
The only cat I ever knew
Who left before he came.
There he's a-standing,
Drinkin' pop from a paper cup.
But when it's time for gettin' down,
Milledge can not get it up!
You gotta love me with a feelin'.
Yeah, love, love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',
Or you can't love me at all.

Oooooh
Lookin' back over my years
I guess I've shed some tears.
Told myself time and again
This time I'm gonna win.
But another fight. Things ain't right.
I'm losing again.
It takes a fool to lose twice
And start all over again.
I think I better let him go.
'Cause it looks like another love TKO.
Let it go, baby.
I think I better let him go.
'Cause it looks like another love TKO. Ohh, yeah.
I tried to take control of the love.
He took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.
Takin' the bumps and the bruises
And all the pain of a two-time lose.
And I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.
So I think I gotta
Gotta let it go
I gotta let him go.
Let it go, baby.
'Cause it looks like another love TKO.
Oh, yes it does, yes it does.
I think I gotta

'Cause it looks like another love TKO.
Boy, whatcha want me to do? Can't stand up to you.
No no no no.
I try to take control of the love.
It took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.

Taking the bumps and the bruises
And all the pain of a two-time lose.

The world is full of married men
With wives who never understand.
They're looking for someone to share
The excitement of a love affair.
And just as soon as they find you
They'll wine you and dine you.
Fly on the wings of romance.
But in the eyes of the world
You're just another girl
Who loves a married man.

Gets too hot to handle.

And go home to his wife

Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness,
Part this red river of pain.
I don't necessarily buy
Any key to the future or happiness
But I need a little place in the sun sometimes
Or I think I'll die.
And everywhere is somewhere but nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
But I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer. Heh.
Every time I see him he smiles
And tells me how well he's walking these miles.
But he never ever asks a single thing about me.
If I died he'd hear about it eventually.
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness,
Part this red river of pain. Ohhh.
'Cause everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
And I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
With my bills in the mailbox and some checks that won't clear this year.
Everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
So I'm just a tragic figure in the corner over here
Who'll sleep it off 'til morning and still not know that we're,
We're all just diamonds and roses. I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.

Well I'm leaving my family
I'm leaving all my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
And the clouds are like headlines
Upon a new front page sky
My tears are salt water
The moon's full and high
And I know Joe Conrad would be proud of me
Many before me been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest singing my saying
Shiver me timbers let's all sail away
And the fog lifting
The sand shifting
I'm drifting on out
Old Captain Ahab got nothing on me
Swallow me, don't follow me
I'm traveling alone
The water's my daughter
I skip like a stone
And the fog lifting
The sand shifting
I'm drifting on out
Old Captain Ahab got nothing on me
Swallow me, don't follow me
I'm traveling alone
The water's my daughter
I skip like a stone
Won't you please call my family
Tell them not to cry
My goodbyes are written
By the moon in the sky
Say nobody knows me
I've got no reason to stay
Shiver me timbers
I'm sailing away
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Skylark, have you anything to say to me?
Can you tell me where my love may be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where he's just waiting to be kissed?
Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight have you heard the music?
In the night, wonderful music.
Faint as a will-o'-the-wisp, crazy as a loon,
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon.
Oh, skylark, i don't know, i don't know
If you can find these things,
But my heart, my heart is riding on your wings.
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there?
Oh, won't you lead me there?
Lead me there, lead me there.
Lead me there, skylark, skylark, skylark, there!

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly.
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.
Then you and I came wandering by,
And lost in a sigh were we.
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly.
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.
<@#Bette_Midler_The_Rose.txt#@>
Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower, and you, it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken, who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose.
<@#Bill_Withers_Give_Me_The_Beat_Boys.txt#@>
Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
Now I'm feeling the straine
Aint it a shame?
(Chorus)
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Beginning to think that I'm wasting time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm counting on you
To carry me through
(Chorus)
And when my mind is free you know melody can move me
And when I'm feeling blue the guitar's coming through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Your rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
You're making me strong
(Chorus)
(Repeat chorus 2 times)
Now now now won't you take me?
Oh oh take me
Fly high...

And the good folk just got up.

Makes me seem lonelier than I am,
But over the darkness I have no power,
Hope she'll be happier with him.

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts filled with passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
Though I will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date

<@#Billie_Holiday_Deep_Song.txt#@>
Lonely grief is hounding me
Like the lonely shadow hounding me
It's always there just out of sight
Like a fragling tree on a lightening night
Lonely wind cries out my name
Sad as haunted music in the rain
It's born of grief and born of woe
But I hear it call and I've got to go
Where can I be headed for
The blues call in my north
To lick my heart once more
Love lives in a lonely land
Where there's no helping hand to understand
Why does it bring this hate to me
Why it don't matter why
I only know misery has to be part of me
Never hope to count on love
To be a partner of that heaven above
Never hope to understand
Love is a barrel land
A lonely land, a lonely land
<@#Billie_Holiday_Foolin_Myself.txt#@>
I try to keep you out of my heart
But somehow I find
Trying to keep you out of my heart
I'm out of my mind
I tell myself "I'm through with you
And I'll having nothing more to do with you"
I stay away, but every day
I'm just foolin myself
Tell my friends that I don't care
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair
But all know it isn't so
I'm just foolin myself
And every time I pass
And see my face in a looking glass
I tip my hat and say
"How do you do, you fool
You're trowing your life away"
I'm acting gay
I'm acting proud
And every time I see you in a crowd
I may pretend
But in the end
I'm just fooling myself
<@#Billie_Holiday_Hello,_My_Darling.txt#@>
I'll forget your tender kiss
I'll be brave after this kiss
I'll say "Hello my darling"
It we should meet again
You'll forbid the tears to slip
You'll behave, bite your lip
And say "Hello my darling"
If we should meet again
If we do meet again
Our moments can't be sweet again
Oh my love, go my love
Though it's a bitter pill, I know my love
Please remember not to sigh
Over this last goodbye
Just say "Hello my darling"
If we should meet again

I hear music
Mighty fine music
The murmur of a morning breeze up there
The rattle of the milkman on the stair
Sure that's music
Mighty fine music
The singing of a sparrow in the sky
The perking of the coffee right near by
That's my favorite melody
You my angel, phoning me
I hear music
Mighty fine music
And anytime I think my world is wrong
I get me out of bed and sing this song

My love must be a kind of blind love,
I can't see anyone but you
And dear, I wonder if you find love,
An optical illusion, too?
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright cause I only
Have eyes for you.
The moon may be high,
But I can't see a thing in the sky,
Cause I only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden,
Or on a crowded avenue.
You are here, so am I.
Maybe millions of people go by but they all disappear from view,
And I only have eyes for you.
<@#Billie_Holiday_Ill_Be_Seeing_You.txt#@>
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children carrousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
<@#Billie_Holiday_Im_Gonna_Lock_My_Heart.txt#@>
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I'm wise to all those tricks
You played on me
I'm gonna turn my back on love
Gonna snob the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can't get in
Park my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
'Please Don't Disturb'
And if I never fall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw the key
And it I never tall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I'll never fall in love again
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
<@#Billie_Holiday_Im_Pulling_Through.txt#@>
I'm pulling through and it's because of you!
When I was stranded came your helping hand
Lonely, hurt I had not known which way to turn
'Til you said, "Try smiles, not tears, just laugh and learn"
I'm pulling trough and it's because of you!
You made me see how lovely life could be
Lifted up my heart and made me count the cost
To find I'd gained, not lost!
When I thought that hope was really gone
You showed me I was wrong
And you taught me how to carry on
Thanks for the lift in time and thanks for this song!
I'm pulling trough and it's because of you!
I'd do the same for you if your turn came
Hope it never will
For I've been though the mill
I won't get this debt
I'm pulling trough
<@#Billie_Holiday_Its_Like_Reaching_For_The_Moon.txt#@>
It's like reaching for the moon
It's like reaching for the sun
It's like reaching for the stars
Reaching for you
You're so far above me
How can I expect than an angel to love me
Who is as divine as you are
It's like flying without wings
Playing fiddle without strings
And a million other things
No one can do
Though my hopes are slender
In my secret heart I pray you'll surrender soon
No, it's like reaching for the moon
<@#Billie_Holiday_Its_Not_For_Me_To_Say.txt#@>
It's not for me to say you love me
It's not for me to say you'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last
As far as I can see this is heaven
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say
<@#Billie_Holiday_Its_Too_Hot_For_Words.txt#@>
It's too hot for words
Why bother with conversation
Don't let's talk or even walk
If you want to make love, okay
It's too hot for words
There's nothing like relaxation
Can't ignore this temperature
But if you want to make love, okay
Let's find a cozy nook
Beside a babbling brook
Let's find a shady tree
Let the love birds talk for you and me
Cause it's much too hot for words
Why bother with conversation
Goodness knows my heart disclose
All it dares to say
All it cares to say
It's too hot for words
<@#Billie_Holiday_Ive_Got_A_Date_With_A_Dream.txt#@>
I've got a date with a dream
A dream divine
I've got a date with a dream
Who may be mine
I've got to hurry and dress
To meet him at seven
When any old corner becomes a corner
Of heaven, blue heaven
I'm gonna dance with a dream
We'll dance on air
I'm gonna speak to a dream
And tell him I care
And when the evening is over
I'll kiss him goodnight and then
I'll have a date with a dream
And meet him all over again
<@#Billie_Holiday_Lets_Dream_In_The_Moonlight.txt#@>
Let's dream in the moonlight
Tell me that you love me
Tell the stars above me
What's in you heart
Let's dream in the moonlight
Say you're glad you found me
Put your arms around me
Before we part
Even though it's just pretending
And the night is almost through
I can say I'm only lending
When I give my heart to you
Let's dream in the moonlight
Let your lips touch mine
Though we're only dreaming tonight
Tonight
<@#Billie_Holiday_Now_They_Call_It_Swing.txt#@>
Once they called it ragtime
And it had its fling
It's the same old syncopation
Now they call it swing
Then they played it jazz time
To a buck-and-wing
Once again it sweeped the nation
Now they call it swing
When singers used to sing
They would go hot cha
But with this modern thing
Now they go dru-do do, dra-da-da
Rhythm has its seasons
Summer, fall and spring
But for seven silly reasons
Someone pulled the string
And they started dancing
Now they call it swing
<@#Billy_Joel_All_My_Life.txt#@>
All my life, I've searched this whole world through
Try as I might, to find someone like you
The years drifted by, but it was always on my mind
I didn't know how long I'd go, until I ran out of time
All my life, I've hurt the ones who cared
One by one, no loving heart was spared
I've been a wild and restless man, but still a man who needs a wife
That was my dream and now it seems you've taken all my life
For as long as I could my intentions were good
I assumed my affairs would be fine
But I know very well, there's a long road to hell
That's been paved with intentions like mine
All my life, I've paid for my mistakes
After a while, the strongest spirit breaks
I've had heartache and pain, it cut me deeper than a knife
But those days are done, 'cause you're the one I've wanted all my life
And I know very well, there's a long road to hell
That's been paved with intentions like mine
All my life, my stars were surely crossed
Now and then, I missed the love I lost
But all that changed, the day you said you'd be my wife
Who could have known that finding you
Would only take me all my life
<@#Billy_Joel_All_Shook_Up.txt#@>
Well, bless my soul, what's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' queer as a bug
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Uh huh huh, oh, hey, yeah, yeah
Well, my hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Now who do you think of when you have such luck
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Uh huh huh, oh, hey, yeah, yeah
Well, please don't ask what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up but I'm feeling fine
When I'm near the girl that I love best
My heart beats so that it scares me to death
Well, she touches my hand what a chill I got
Her kisses are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Uh huh huh, oh, hey, yeah, yeah
Well, my tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this soul of mine
That's to have that girl that I love so fine
She touches my hand what a chill I got
Her kisses are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love, I'm all shook up
Uh huh huh, oh, hey, yeah, yeah
Uh huh huh, oh, hey, yeah, yeah
Uh huh huh, oh, hey, yeah, yeah, I'm all shook up!
<@#Billy_Joel_Always_A_Woman.txt#@>
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long it's free
Yeah, She steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me
[Chorus: ]
Ohhh... she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants, she's ahead of her time
Ohhh... and she never gives out
And she never gives in, she just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me
[Chorus: ]
She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
<@#Billy_Joel_Close_To_The_Borderline.txt#@>
Blackout, heatwave,.44 caliber homicide
The bums drop dead and the dogs go mad
In packs on the West Side
Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide
She wants to hit those bricks
Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline
While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down
Life is tough but it's just enough
To hold back the tears until it's closing time
I survived, I'm still alive
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Close to the borderline
A buck three eighty
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days
And when you can get gas
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways
Rich man, poor man, either way American
Shoved into the lost and found
The no-nukes yell we're gonna all go to hell
With the next big meltdown
I got remote control and a color T.V.
I don't change channels so they must change me
I got real close friends that will get me high
They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Close to the borderline
I thought I'd sacrificed so many things
I thought I'd thrown them all away
I didn't think I needed anything
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay
I need a doctor for my pressure pills
I need a lawyer for my medical bills
I need a banker to finance my home
But I need security to back my loan
It isn't new what I'm going through
But everybody knows you got to break sometime
Another night I fought the good fight
But I'm getting closer to the borderline
Closer to the borderline
<@#Billy_Joel_Dont_Ask_Me_Why.txt#@>
All the waiters in your grand cafe
Leave their tables when you blink
Every dog must have his every day
Every drunk must have his drink
Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances
Don't ask me why
All your life you had to stand in line
Still you're standing on your feet
All your choices made you change your mind
Now your calendar's complete
Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances
Don't ask me why
You can say the human heart is only make believe
And I am only fighting fire with fire
But you are still a victim
Of the accidents you leave
As sure as I'm a victim of desire
All the servants in your new hotel
Throw their roses at your feet
Fool them all but baby I can tell
You're no stranger to the street
Don't ask for favors
Don't talk to strangers
Don't ask me why
Yesterday you were an only child
Now your ghosts have gone away
You can kill them in the classic style
Now you "parlez vous francais"
Don't look for answers
You took your chances
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
<@#Billy_Joel_Laura.txt#@>
Laura
Calls me
In the middle of the night
Passes on her
Painful information
Then these careless fingers
They get caught in her vice
Til they're bleeding
On my coffee table
Living alone isn't all that
It's cracked up to be
I'm on her side
Why does she push the poison on me?
Laura
Has a very hard time
All her life has
Been one long disaster
Then she tells me
She suddenly believes she's seen
A very good sign
She'll be taking
Some aggressive action
I fight her wars
While she's slamming her doors
In my face
Failure to break
Was the only mistake
That she made
Here I am
Feeling like a fucking fool
Do I react the way exactly
She intends me to?
Everytime I think I'm off the hook
She makes me lose my cool
I'm her machine
And she can punch all the keys
She can push any button I was programmed through
Laura
Calls me
When she needs a good fix
All her questions
Will get sympathetic answers
I should
Be so
Immunized
To all of her tricks
She's surviving
On her second chances
Sometimes I feel like this
Godfather deal is all wrong
How can she hold an umbilical chord
For so long?
I've done everything I can
What else am I supposed to do
I'm her machine
And she can punch all the keys
She can push any button I was programmed through
Laura
Loves me
Even if I don't care
That's my problem
That's her sacred absolution
If she had to
She would put herself in my chair
Even though I
Faced electrocution
She always says
I'm the best friend that
She's ever had
How do you
Hang up on someone
Who needs you that bad?
<@#Billy_Joel_Shout_(Live_At_The_Yankee_Stadium).txt#@>
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to shout for joy
[Chorus]
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart
[Chorus]

One... Two... And-a-one, and-a-two, and-a-buckle-my-shoe
There you are but nowhere left to hide
All the toys are tried to put aside
I think you'd meet them, but that's the price of freedom
But that's the cost of living in the prime of your life
We done say... Da da da da dum dum dum...
Dum da dum... Ah dum da dum du dum...
Ah dum da da dum... There's no more conversation...
Luh ba dum bum, living in the prime of your life
Oh oh ba da da dum ba da da dum ba wah

<@#Billy_Joel_The_Stranger.txt#@>
Well, we all have a face that we hide away forever
And we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.
Some are satin, some are steel,
Some are silk and some are leather.
They're the faces of a stranger,
But we'd love to try them on.
Well, we all fall in love,
But we disregard the danger,
Though we share so many secrets,
There are some we never tell.
Why were you so surprised that you never saw the stranger?
Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself?
Don't be afraid to try again.
Everyone goes south every now and then.
You've done it.
Why can't someone else?
You should know by now.
You've been there yourself.
Once I used to believe I was such a great romancer.
Then I came home to a woman that I could not recognize.
When I pressed her for a reason,
She refused to even answer.
It was then I felt the stranger kick me right between the eyes.
Well, we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised that you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself.
Don't be afraid to try again.
Everyone goes south every now and then.
You've done it.
Why can't someone else?
You should know by now.
You've been there yourself.
You may never understand how the stranger is inspired.
But he isn't always evil and he is not always wrong.
Though you drown in good intensions,
You will never quench the fire.
You'll give in to your desire when the stranger comes along.
<@#Billy_Joel_These_Rhinestone_Days.txt#@>
Now we live our lives so nonchalant
We spend our time so bon vivant
Our Spanish nights so well arranged
Those tasteful words that we exchanged
We know it's all a passing phase
We light our lamps for atmosphere
And hang our hopes on chandeliers
I don't know why we even care
We try and try and get nowhere
We'll change our minds, we changed our ways
These Rhinestone Days
So go our lives so nonchalant
We spend our time so bon vivant
I don't know why we even care
We try and try and get nowhere
We'll change our minds, we changed our ways
These Rhinestone Days
<@#Billy_Joel_To_Make_You_Feel_My_Love.txt#@>
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case,
I would offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue,
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on a rolling sea,
Down on the highway of regret.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I did make you happy, make your dreams come true,
There's nothing that I would not do,
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love.
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.

Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting any one
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
I was stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while
Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right

Don't get me wrong,
I ain't the kind
To turn away from you
When something's on your mind.
But you have to know,
You just have to see,
I'm having my troubles, babe,
And they're all too much for me.
You picked a real bad time
To spoil my concentration
You picked a real bad time
To pass along the bad news
Tell me, why you try
To give me aggravation
You picked a real bad time
'Cause this man's got the blues
Don't get me wrong,
You're not alone
And I'd like to help you
But I've got problems of my own
It's a bitter phase
I'm going through
And I can run from strangers, darlin',
But I just can't hide from you.
You picked a real bad time
To spoil my concentration
You picked a real bad time
To pass along the bad news
Tell me, why you try
To give me aggravation
You picked a real bad time
And I got time to lose
Ain't it the truth
When they say
That the only thing worth dying for
Is our freedom
Ain't it the proof
That someday
We will all be lying on our backs
Free at last from income tax
Don't you get me wrong
The mood won't last
And I'll be myself again
Soon as this pain has passed
And I'm standing here,
Don't ask me how,
I'll make it up to you,
Someday but not right now
You picked a real bad time
To spoil my concentration
You picked a real bad time
To pass along the bad news
You caused a real hard line
To invade my isolation
You picked a real bad time
'Cause this man's got the blues
Ain't it the truth
When they say
All you need is love but all you'll want is forgiveness
Ain't it the proof
That someday
Even love will not provide for man
The way that life insurance can
You picked a real bad time
To spoil my concentration
You picked a real bad time
To pass along the bad news
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Why you tryin' to give me aggravation
You picked a real bad time, cause this man's got the blues.

You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood
It's alright
It's alright
Sometimes that's what it takes
You're only human
You're allowed to make your share of mistakes
You better believe there will be times in your life
When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me you'll learn more from your accidents
Than anything that you could ever learn at school
Don't forget your second wind
Sooner of later you'll get your second wind
It's not always easy to be living in this world of pain
You're gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again
It's alright
It's alright
Though you feel your heart break
You're only human
You're gonna have to deal with heartache
Just like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
You're not the only one who's made mistakes
But they're the only thing that you can truly call your own
Don't forget your second wind
Wait in that corner until that breeze blows in
You've been keeping to yourself these days
Cause you're thinking everything's gone wrong
Sometimes you just want to lay down and die
That emotion can be so strong
But hold on
Till that old second wind comes along
You probably don't want to hear advice from someone else
But I wouldn't be telling you if I hadn't been there myself
It's alright
It's alright
Sometimes that's all it takes
We're only human
We're supposed to make mistakes
But I survived all those long lonely days
When it seemed I did not have a friend
Cause all I needed was a little faith
So I could catch my breath and face the world again
Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in

<@#Bing_Crosby_A_Man_And_His_Dream.txt#@>
You always stir my imagination
Sometimes it borders on fantasy
And sometimes I find visions flash
Through my mind close to reality
Night a soft guitar a hidden lane
A moon and here and there a star
For a man and his dream
Night a crickets' cry a whispered word
A kiss and now and then a sigh
For a man and his dream
And their eyes when they meet
Seem to say it's sublime
And their hearts proudly beat
To a tune that is older than time
Night must fade away and yet it leaves a love
So all the world will say
There's a man and his dream
And their eyes when they meet
Seem to say it's sublime
And their hearts proudly beat
To a tune that is older than time
Night must fade away and yet it leaves a love
So all the world will say
There's a man and his dream
<@#Bing_Crosby_After_Youve_Gone_(Alternate_Version)_-_With_Eddie_Condon.txt#@>
After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
There'll come a time and I don't forget it
There'll come a time when you regret it
Someday when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone
After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
There'll come a time and I don't forget it
There'll come a time when you regret it
Someday when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone away, so far away
After you've gone
After you've gone away
<@#Bing_Crosby_At_Last.txt#@>
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped in clover
The night I looked at you
And I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last
Oh, you smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last

Down in old Kentucky where horseshoes are lucky
There's a village smithy standin' under the chestnut tree
Hear the hammer knockin', see the anvil rockin'
He sings the boogie blues while he's hammerin' on the shoes
See the hot sparks a-flyin' like fourth of July-in'
He's even got the horses cloppin' pop, down the avenue
Folks love the rhythm, the clang bangin' rhythm
You'll get a lot of kicks out of the blacksmith blues

The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home
The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he's gone
Will bless the house and all
How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
I'm handing you no blarney
The likes you've never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home

Far away places with strange-sounding names
Far away over the sea
Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
Are callin', callin' me
Goin' to China or maybe Siam
I want to see for myself
Those far away places I've been readin' about
In a book that I took from the shelf
I start getting restless whenever I hear
The whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get underway
And look for those castles in Spain
They call me a dreamer, well, maybe I am
But I know that I'm burnin' to see
Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
Callin', callin' me

Feuding and fussing and a-fighting
Sometimes it gets to be exciting
Don't like them ornery neighbors down by the creek
We'll be plumb out of neighbors next week
Grandma, poor old grandma
Why'd they have to shoot poor grandma
She lies 'neath the clover
Someone caught her bending over
Picking up a daisy
Feuding and fussing and a-fighting
This is a wrong that needs a righting
Let's get that funeral service over
So then we can start in a-feuding again
Feuding and fighting and a-fussing
That's all that's going on with using
We are such neighborly people peaceful and sweet
All except when we happen to meet
Daughter, baby daughter
Poisoned all the neighbors chickens
Daughter hadn't oughter
Least until she could run like the dickens
They hit her with a shovel
Feuding and fighting and a-fussing
No use a-standing here a-cussing
Let's give our daughter a pistol now that she's four
And go feuding and fighting some more

There's been a sayin' goin' round
And I begin to think it's true
It's awful hard to love someone
When they don't care about you
Once I had a lovin' gal
The sweetest little thing in town
But now she's gone and left me
She done turn me down
Now I ain't got nobody, and nobody cares for me!
That's why I'm sad and lonely,
Won't somebody come and take a chance with me?
I'll sing you love songs, honey, all the time,
If you'll only say you'll be sweet gal of mine,
Oh, I ain't got nobody, nobody cares for me!

<@#Bing_Crosby_Its_Beginning_To_Look_Like_Christmas.txt#@>
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five and ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
(Christmas)
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And mom and dad can hardly wait
For school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door
Sure it's Christmas once more

Blue night and you, alone with me
My heart has never known such ecstasy
Am I on earth, am I in heaven?
Can it be the trees that fill the breeze with rare and magic perfume?
Oh, no, it isn't the trees, it's love in bloom
Can it be the spring that seems to bring the stars right into this room?
Oh, no, it isn't the spring, it's love in bloom
My heart was a desert
You planted a seed
And this is the flower
This hour of sweet fulfillment
Is it all a dream, the joy supreme that came to us in the gloom?
You know it isn't a dream, it's love in bloom
My heart was a desert
But you planted a seed
And this is the flower
This hour of sweet fulfillment
Is it all a dream, the joy supreme that came to us in the gloom?
You know it isn't a dream, it's love in bloom

Come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancies, baby

Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile, my honey dear while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile, my honey dear while I kiss away each tear

When you see land
(Out of the window of a train)
Kinda green and grassy,
(How in the world can you complain?)
Beneath a moon
(You ought to see the way it shines)
Bright beyond compare,
(The way it shines upon the pines)
When you hear blue jays chirping high and sassy,
And catch one sniff of southern cooking
Hanging on the evening air
(Supper's waiting on the table)
When you see folks
(Having their after dinner chats)
All polite and classy
(Gentlemen all remove their hats)
And every smile
(Perfect harmony and peace)
Bids you stay and rest,
(Hand the porter your valise)
Get off that train,
(Sit down and rest your chassis,)
You're in Tallahassee
(The Cap8ital City of Florida and)
The Southland at its best!
(But Dixie at its very best!)
<@#Black_Sabbath_After_Forever.txt#@>
Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?
When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a
fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days
Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love
Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?
I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve
Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late.
<@#Black_Sabbath_Anno_Mundi.txt#@>
Can you see me, are you near me?
Can you hear me crying out for life?
Can you tell me, where's the glory?
Ride the days and sail the nights
When it's over you'll find the answer
Running in the whispering rain
Anno Mundi? can you wonder!
Truth of thunder, life or blame
Do you see a vision of a perfect place?
Does it make you laugh, put a smile on your face?
Do you need a mirror, do you see it well?
Does the hand of God still toll the bell?
There are people laughing
They're all laughing on you
If only they could see what you're saying is true
Still generals fighting, making war on the world
Don't they know, don't they know?
No, no, no
[Chorus]
The wind in the night blows cold
Your eyes are burning
As the sands of our time grow old
Anno Mundi
Do you follow the path that so many tread?
Are you among the blind so easily lead?
Do you join the war, do you fight for the cause?
Depend on another to fight it alone
[Chorus]
Can you see me now, can you hear me now?
Can you tell me, where's the glory?
Ride the days and sail the nights
When it's over, you'll find the answer
Runnin' in the rain
There's a hope that's growing and a vision too
All those angry hearts now reach out for you
Do you look to the dawn, see a new day begun?
No longer the fool, the vision is done

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh nooo!
Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!
Child cries out for his mother
Mother's screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in
Oh nooooo!
Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
people running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware!
No, no, please, no!

Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
And all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
And told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
And love comes flowing through
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
So you children of the world,
Listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
Spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
You must be brave
Or you children of today are
Children of the Grave, Yeah!

You're so new but rotting in decay
Like butterfly so quick to die
But you're only looking for today
Everyone just gets on top of you
The pain begins to eat your pride
You can't believe in anything you knew
When was the last time that you cried
Looking for today
Glamour trip so soon to slip
Easy come but oh how quick it goes

You just want to hide yourself away
Over-paid, but soon you fade
Because you're only looking for today

A product of a virgin birth
Another god on earth
Yes that's your fantasy
You say that you can read my mind
Be careful of what you might find
You think that you can be like me
And see what my eyes see
But you're no friend of mine
Do you believe every word I say?
Make your own truth, and get out of my way
I'm your pariah
For you desire
Ain't no messiah
Just your pariah
An angel or the Antichrist
A symbol of your own device
Pathetic in your own sad way
You're just one pill away
From taking my advice
Do you believe every word I say?
Make your own mind, and get out of my way
I'm your pariah
For you desire
Ain't no messiah
Just your pariah
Do you believe that I'm from Heaven?
That I descended from the sky?
The graven image of a pseudo icon
To worship me on high?
I'm not your savior
I got no wings to fly
Just your pariah
Don't look to me when your life is over
I'm your pariah
For you desire
Ain't no messiah
Just your pariah
Ain't no messiah
Just your pariah

Throw me a penny and I'll make you a dream
You find that life's not always what it seems, no no
Then think of a rainbow and I'll make it come real
Roll me, I'm a never ending wheel
I'll give you a star
So you know just where you are
Don't you know that I might be
Your wishing well
Your wishing well
Look in the water, tell me what do you see
Reflections of the love you give to me
Love isn't money, it's not something you buy
So let me fill myself with tears you cry, why?
Time is a never ending journey
Love is a never ending smile
Give me a sign to build a dream on
Dream on
Yeah, throw me a penny and I'll make you a dream
You find that life's not always what it seems, no no
Love isn't money, it's not something you buy
So let me fill myself with tears you cry
I'll give you a star
So you know just where you are
Someday, some way, you'll feel the things I say
Dream for a while
Of the things that make you smile
'cause you know
Don't you know
Oh, you know
That I'm your wishing well
Your wishing well
Your wishing well
I wish you well
I'm your wishing well

Here's one from the head
The one that bounced straight through
The rubber soul
It's good advice
For everyone
You end up where you started crawling from
I'm always bouncing into the other
Again and again you find it's yet another
So I'm always bouncing into the other
Seven days to seven days
Here's one from far away
The way I lose confidence
In what I say
I'm only here
For a while
Leave me quick I'm only here for a while
I'm always bouncing into the other
Again and again you find it's yet another
So I'm always bouncing into the other
Seven days to seven days
Always seven days
Always seven days
Always, always, always
I'm always bouncing into the other
Again and again you find it's yet another
So I'm always bouncing into the other
Seven days to seven days

Picked up the girl
And he sailed around the world
Why not?
What else have you got?
If you're not
Anyone that I like
Love Will give me the moon
Whoops
And beyond these voices
And danced on the groove
In a dream forever
Starts when you wake up
Starts when you wake up
Picked up the girl
And he sailed around the world
What?
Oh yeah sorry
Around the world
Why not?
What else has he got?
I don't know
And I know

Love will give me the moon
Oh dear
And beyond these voices
And danced on the groove
In a dream forever
Starts when you wake up

Sitting in an S.D.T.
Waiting for an underground train
To rumble underneath my feet
Bang goes another day
Where it went I could not say
Now I'll have to wait another week
When all is said and all is done
What was said was never done
Don't panic, it's not really worth your while
Bang goes another year
In and out of one ear
Everybody's doing it, so do it too
[Chorus]
I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better
But a little love would make things better
Sitting on the early bus
Passing through the morning rush
It makes no difference that I'm not with you
Bang goes another year
In and out of one ear
Everybody's doing it, so do it too
[Chorus]
I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better
I don't need anyone
But a little of your love can make things better

Now my mind is in a whirl
And it seems

There's never a point at which we ever loved

I'm wrapped up in shining days
Blackbirds in summer time
They find a low

Funny but I think that you mean them all

But couldn't you try to forgive a fool
One more time
Sorry but I'm not really listening
I've got my mind on something else if I'm here

I know that you want me to go don't you
But it's not as easy as it seems

Could the world end - what a God send
I wish I could stop wishing you were here
But I don't want to - cos I still want you
I wish I didn't feel so flippin mad
Don't wanna scare you - just wanna love you
I wish my life could last a thousand years
Then I'd be clever - and build a heaven
I wish I could bring nick drake back to life
He'd understand - hold my hat band
I wish a constant stream of happy shit
Live forever - in world of leather
I wish the rain would just leave me alone

I wish the thing of love meant just one thing

Your man is always flaming
He's hitting his head against the wall

He do it again, he knows to do
I've always found you complicated
A boy tried to shut you up

I do it again, again, again
And I'd like you to know
It's alright
There's a world around us
I need you to know
I'm alright
No need to worry about me
'Cause I'm just fine

Smash his head against the wall

You give me the strangest feeling
You shut me of myself

One night, half a dozen tourists met together in Trafalgar Square
A fourth nights tour on the continent was planned
And each had his portmento in his hand
Down the Rhine they ment to have a picnic to Joan siad I must decline
The boys are being advised by me
Stay away from Germany
What's the good of going down the Rhine
Chorus:
Let's all go down the strand
Let's all go down the strand
I'll be leader, You can march behind
Come with me and see what you can find
Let's all go down the strand
Oh what a happy land
That's the place for fun and noise
All amoung the girls and boys
So let's all go down the strand
One day 5 and 20 convicts
Satted by their 20 little cells
The bell then sounded ding-a-ding-a-dong
To exercise the prisoners came along
Buggler Ben exclaimed to Jacks The Warden
To me sir, It's very strange
The men are tired of going round
Round and round the same old ground
I purpose we make a little change
Repeat chorus
Gray crowds gathered round to welcome
Shackleton returning from the poll
The Lord Mayor welcomed all the galant crew
And said my lads, I've got a treat for you
Come with me, The mansion house awaits you
A banquet shall be supplied
But a towering, grumbling mood
Said we don't want any food
Then he turned to Shackleton and sighed
Repeat chorus (x2)

This is surely what I need
But I don't always think that way

To build you up so tall
You won't fall down on me

There's nothing that really
Ever holds us from the truth

And I hope you do the same for me

And it settles down, stays around
Spends more time with you

The sound of magic music in his ears
Videoed by a bus load of tourists
Shinny shell suits and drinking lemonade
Now I got a funny feeling
Which I bought mail order
From a man in a teepee in California
Said he once was a great game show performer
Then he blew all his money away
Blew it all away
So take me home
Don't leave alone
I'm not that good
But I'm not that bad
No psycho killer
Hooligan gorilla
I dream to riot
Oh you should try it
I'll eat parole get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Then you're on your own
Well we go happy day glow in the discos
The sound of magic music in our brains
Someone stumbles to the bathroom
with the horrors
Says lord give me time for I've jumped into space
I'm in outer space
So take me home
Don't leave alone
I'm not that good
But I'm not that bad
No psycho killer
Hooligan gorilla

Oh you should try it
I'll eat parole get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end

Sitting on the pavement, sucking on a long straw.
It's colorful, it's colorful, but it washes you out.

Falling into walls, well what is it with you.
You never know, never know, never know.

Swimming in yellow pissy water.
Sand getting in between their ears.
No blood in head in this bloddy weather.

<@#Bob_Dylan_Ballad_Of_Donald_White.txt#@>
My name is Donald White, you see,
I stand before you all.
I was judged by you a murderer
And the hangman's knot must fall.
I will die upon the gallows pole
When the moon is shining clear,
And these are my final words
That you will ever hear.
I left my home in Kansas
When I was very young,
I landed in the old Northwest,
Seattle, Washington
Although I'd a-traveled many miles,
I never made a friend,
For I could never get along in life
With people that I met.
If I had some education
To give me a decent start,
I might have been a doctor or
A master in the arts.
But I used my hands for stealing
When I was very young,
And they locked me down in jailhouse cells,
That's how my life begun.
Oh, the inmates and the prisoners,
I found they were my kind,
And it was there inside the bars
I found my peace of mind.
But the jails they were too crowded,
Institutions overflowed,
So they turned me loose to walk upon
Life's hurried tangled road.
And there's danger on the ocean
Where the salt sea waves split high,
And there's danger on the battlefield
Where the shells of bullets fly,
And there's danger in this open world
Where men strive to be free,
And for me the greatest danger
Was in society.
So I asked them to send me back
To the institution home.
But they said they were too crowded,
For me they had no room.
I got down on my knees and begged,
"Oh, please put me away,"
But they would not listen to my plea
Or nothing I would say.
And so it was on Christmas eve
In the year of '59,
It was on that night I killed a man,
I did not try to hide,
The jury found me guilty
And I won't disagree,
For I knew that it would happen
If I wasn't put away.
And I'm glad I've had no parents
To care for me or cry,
For now they will never know
The horrible death I die.
And I'm also glad I've had no friends
To see me in disgrace,
For they'll never see that hangman's hood
Wrap around my face.
Farewell unto the old north woods
Of which I used to roam,
Farewell unto the crowded bars
Of which've been my home,
Farewell to all you people
Who think the worst of me,
I guess you'll feel much better when
I'm on that hanging tree.
But there's just one question
Before they kill me dead,
I'm wondering just how much
To you I really said
Concerning all the boys that come
Down a road like me,
Are they enemies or victims
Of your society?
<@#Bob_Dylan_Christmas_Blues.txt#@>
The jingle bells are jingling
The streets
Are white with snow
The happy crowds are mingling
But there's no one that I know
I'm sure that you'll forgive me
If I don't enthuse
I guess
I've got the Christmas blues
I've done my window shopping
There's not a store I've missed
But what's the use of stopping
When there's no one on your list
You'll know the way I'm feeling
When you love and you lose
I guess
I've got the Christmas blues
When somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Christmas is a joy of joys
But friends when you're lonely
You'll find that it's only
A thing for little girls
And little boys
May all your days be merry
Your seasons full of cheer
But 'til it's January
I'll just go and disappear
Oh Santa
May have brought you
Some stars for your shoes
But Santa only brought me
The blues
Those brightly packaged
Tinsel covered
Christmas blues
Oh Santa
May have brought you
Some stars for your shoes
But Santa only brought me
The blues
Those brightly packaged
Tinsel covered

Oh, the gentlemen are talking and the midnight moon is on the riverside
They're drinking up and walking and it is time for me to slide
I live in another world where life and death are memorized
Where the earth is strung with lover's pearls and all I see are dark eyes.
A cock is crowing far away and another soldier's deep in prayer
Some mother's child has gone astray, she can't find him anywhere
But I hear another rum beating for the dead that rise
Whom nature's beast fear as they come and all I see are dark eyes.
They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes
They tell me revenge is sweet, I'm sure it is
But I feel nothing for their game, where beauty goes unrecognized
All I feel is heat and flame, and all I see are dark eyes.
Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise and a drunken man is at the wheel
Hunger pays a heavy prize to the falling god of speed and steel
Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that
flies
A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes.

I'm old Tom Moore from the bummer's shore in that good old golden days
They call me a bummer and a gin shot too, but what cares I for praise ?
I wander around from town to town just like a roving sign
And all the people say, "There goes Tom Moore, in the days of '49"
In the days of old, in the days of gold
How oft' times I repine for the days of old
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.
My comrades they all loved me well, a jolly saucy crew
A few hard cases I will recall though they all were brave and true
Whatever the pitch they never would flinch, they never would fret or whine
Like good old bricks they stood the kicks in the days of '49
In the days of old, in the days of gold
How oft' times I repine for the days of old
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.
There was New York Jake, the butcher boy, he was always getting tight
And every time that he'd get full he was spoiling for a fight
But Jake rampaged against a knife in the hands of old Bob Stein
And over Jake they held a wake in the days of '49
In the days of old, in the days of gold
How oft' times I repine for the days of old
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.
There was Poker Bill, one of the boys who was always in a game
Whether he lost or whether he won, to him it was always the same
He would ante up and draw his cards and he would you go a hatful blind
In the game with death Bill lost his breath, in the days of '49
In the days of old, in the days of gold
How oft' times I repine for the days of old
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.
There was Ragshag Bill from Buffalo, I never will forget
He would roar all day and he'd roar all night and I guess he's roaring yet
One day he fell in a prospect hole, in a roaring bad design
And in that hole he roared out his soul, in the days of '49
In the days of old, in the days of gold
How oft' times I repine for the days of old
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.
Of the comrades all that I've had, there's none that's left to boast
And I'm left alone in my misery like some poor wandering ghost
And I pass by from town to town, they call me a rambling sign
"There goes Tom Moore, a bummer shore in the days of '49 "
In the days of old, in the days of gold
How oft' times I repine for the days of old
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.

Come baby, find me, come baby, remind me of where I once begun
Come baby, show me, show me you know me, tell me you're the one
I could be learning, you could be yearning to see behind the closed door
But I will always be emotionally yours.
Come baby, rock me, come baby, locl me into the shadows of your heart
Come baby, teach me, come baby, reach me, let the music start
I could be dreaming but I keep believing you're the one I'm living for
And I will always be emotionally yours.
It's like my whole life never happened
When I see you, it's if I never had a thought
I know this dream, it might be crazy
But it's the only one I got. Okay.
Come baby, shake me, come baby, take me, I would be satisfied
Come baby, hold me, come baby, help me, my arms are open wide
I could be unraveling wherever I'm traveling, even to foreign shores
But I will always be emotionally yours.

Down over the window
From the dazzling sunlit rays
Through the back alleys, through the blinds
Another one of them endless days
Honey bees are buzzing
Leaves begin to stir
I'm in love with my second cousin
I tell myself I could be happy forever with her
I keep listening for footsteps
But I ain't never hearing any
From the boat, I fish for bullheads
I catch a lot, sometimes too many
A summer breeze is blowin'
A squall is setting in
Sometimes it's just plain stupid
To get into any kind of wind
Well the old men 'round here
Sometimes they get on bad terms
With the younger men,
Old, young, age don't carry weight
It doesn't matter in the end
One of the boss' hangers-on
Sometimes comes to call
At times you least expect
Tryin' to bully you, strongarm you,
Inspire you with fear
It has the opposite effect
There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town
The old one is long gone
10 foot, 2 foot, 6 across
Burns with the bark still on
They say times are hard
If you don't believe it you can follow your nose
It don't bother me, times are hard anywhere
We'll just have to see how it goes
My old man, he's like some feudal lord
He's got more lives than a cat
I've never seen him quarrel with my mother even once
Things come alive or they fall flat
You can smell the pine wood burnin'
You can hear the school bell ring
Got to get up near the teacher, if you can
If you wanna learn anything
Romeo, he said to Juliet, you got a poor complexion
It don't give you an appearance or a youthful touch
Juliet said back to Romeo,
Why don't you just shove off,
If it bothers you so much
They got outta here any way they could
Cold rain can give you the shivers
They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee,
All the rest of them rebel rivers
If you ever try to interfere with me
Or cross my path again,
You do so at the peril of your life
I'm not quite as cool, or forgiving as I sound
I've seen enough heartache and strife
My grandfather was a duck trapper,
He could do it with just dragnets and ropes [?]
My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth,
I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes.
I had 'em once, though I suppose
To go along with all the ring dancing,
Christmas carols and all the Christmas eves
I left all my dreams and hopes
Buried under tobacco leaves
Not always easy kicking someone up
Got to wait awhile, it can be an unpleasant task
Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
And tears or not, it's too much to ask.

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
Indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

No, I ain't got my childhood

Hey, hey, so I guess I'm doin' fine.

<@#Bob_Dylan_Honest_With_Me.txt#@>
Well, I'm stranded in the city that never sleeps
Some of these women they just give me the creeps
I'm avoidin' the Southside the best I can
These memories I got, they can strangle a man
Well I came ashore in the dead of the night
Lot of things can get in the way when you're tryin' to do what's right
You don't understand it - my feelings for you
You'd be honest with me if only you knew
I'm not sorry for nothin' I've done
I'm glad I fought - I only wish we'd won
The Siamese twins are comin' to town
People can't wait - they're gathered around
When I left my home the sky split open wide
I never wanted to go back there - I'd rather have died
You don't understand it - my feelings for you
You'd be honest with me if only you knew
My woman got a face like a teddy bear
She's tossin' a baseball bat in the air
The meat is so tough you can't cut it with a sword
I'm crashin' my car, trunk first into the boards
You say my eyes are pretty and my smile is nice
Well, I'll sell it to ya at a reduced price
You don't understand it - my feelings for you
You'd be honest with me, if only you knew
Some things are too terrible to be true
I won't come here no more if it bothers you
The Southern Pacific leaving at nine forty-five
I'm having a hard time believin' some people were ever alive
I'm stark naked, but I don't care
I'm going off into the woods, I'm huntin' bare
You don't understand it - my feelings for you
Well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew
I'm here to create the new imperial empire
I'm going to do whatever circumstances require
I care so much for you - didn't think that I could
I can't tell my heart that you're no good
Well, my parents they warned me not to waste my years
And I still got their advice oozing out of my ears
You don't understand it - my feelings for you
Well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew
<@#Bob_Dylan_House_Of_The_Rising_Sun.txt#@>
There is a house down in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl
And me, oh God, I'm one.
My mother was a tailor
She sowed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord
Down in New Orleans.
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk.
He fills his glasses up to the brim
And he'll pass the cards around
And the only pleasure he gets out of life
Is rambling from town to town.
Oh tell my baby sister
Not to do what I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun.
Well it's one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain.
I'm going back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
I'm going back to end my life
Down in the rising sun.

Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams
In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams.
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.
Think I'll go out and go for a walk
Not much happening here, nothing ever does
Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll just want to talk
I got nothing to say, 'specially about whatever it was.
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One say to the other, no man see my face and lives.
Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race
It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face
And see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.
Outside of two men on a train platform there's nothing in sight
They're waiting for spring to come, smoking down the trck
The world could come to an end tonight, bt that's all right
She could still be there sleeping when I get back.
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.
Noontime, and I'm still pushing myself along the road, the darkest part
Into the narrow lanes, I can't stumble or stay put
Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I'm listening with my heart
I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I go barefoot.
I and I
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One say to the other, no man sees my face and lives.

I once held her in my arms,
She said she would always stay.
But I was cruel,
I treated her like a fool,
I threw it all away.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,
And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I must have been mad,
I never knew what I had,
Until I threw it all away.
Love is all there is, it makes the world go 'round,
Love and only love, it can't be denied.
No matter what you think about it
You just won't be able to do without it.
Take a tip from one who's tried.
So if you find someone that gives you all of her love,
Take it to your heart, don't let it stray,
For one thing that's certain,
You will surely be a-hurtin',
If you throw it all away.
<@#Bob_Dylan_I_Want_You.txt#@>
The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonely organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
They wait for you.
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
Now all my fathers, they've gone down,
True love they've been without it.
But all their daughters put me down
Cause I don't think about it.
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid.
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her.
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
Was I?
But I did it, though, because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city
Well, don't hesitate, cause your love wont wait...
Ooo, baby, I love your way, everyday
Gonna tell you I love your way, everyday
Wanna be with you night and day
Moon appears to shine and light the skies
With the help of some firefly
Wonder how they have the power to shine
I can see them under the pine
But don't hesitate, cause your love wont wait...
Ooo, baby, I love your way, everyday
Gonna tell you I love your way, everyday
Wanna be with you night and day
(Solo - on verse) but don't hesitate, cause your love wont wait...
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey, blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
Wish I could buy one out of season
But don't hesitate, cause your love wont wait...
Ooo, baby, I love your way, everyday
Gonna tell you I love your way, everyday
Wanna be with you night and day

On top of some hill
Old Mr. Joe knew he had to go, so he
He got right down and wrote bank will

And her chicken, Lord have mercy now
Master, will you take a roll in the mud
Like you know you should?
The old barnyard, the old barnyard
Birds and the chick, ooh-wee
Who's got to watch out for brother mongoose
With his top hap and walking-stick?
It's just the poor's brain washing
(Poor's) They told me a long time ago,
It's just the poor's brain washing, ooh-wee
(Poor's brain washing) Now look at a thing like this
Cinderella and her long lost fellow
In the midnight hour, she lost her silver slipper
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
While Jack and Jill had themselves a fall
It's just the poor's (brain washing)
And I don't need it no longer (washing)

While Little Red Riding Hood delivered her grandmom's food

While the dish got jealous, he grabbed the handy spoon

Beers In Heaven
(Tears In Heaven-Eric Clapton)
Won't it be a shame
If there's no beers in Heaven?
Is God the one to blame
If there's no beers in Heaven?
I must confess
That I'll be pissed
If God says He won't allow
Beers in Heaven
Is the preacher wrong?
He says there's no beers in Heaven
How can you party on
If there's no beers in Heaven?
No Michelob
No Bud, No Stroh's
Then I know I just can't go
There to Heaven
Beer is a friend to Man
Beer helps you take command
Beer makes things ok
Beer helps to get you laid
Get you laid
It's gonna be a shame
If there's no beers in Heaven
I'm not the one to blame
If there's no beers in Heaven
What will I do
Without cold brew
Now I know I just can't go
There to Heaven

Hello I love you
Lets get tested for aids
You know I trust you
But you can't tell these days
Hello I love you
Lets get tested for aids
You know I want you
But let's wait a few days
She might look nice and sweet
But sleeps with every guy she meets
You might think you know some guy
But you know guys and they always lie
Hello I love you
Lets get tested for aids
You know I trust you
But you can't tell these days
Hello I love you
And liked to get laid
You know I want you
But I'm deathly afraid
She holds my hand and sighs
But her hand won't satisfy
Our thoughts are wicked
But our legs are crossed
And I doubt I can hold out too long
The doc won't know for at least a week
I'm like a dog locked up when my mate's in heat
And I hope she doesn't see me drool
Cuz I hope to use my rusty tool
Hello, hello
Hello, hello
Hello, hello
'Uh, Hullo? '
'Good news Mr. Johnson, your test results are in and you're back in business.

Is this a white Christmas hell no my man
I'm leavin' blood in the snow and smackin' fat men
You mean Santa, that boy's a bitch
He caught my mom Christmas Eve and tried to give her kiss
Fo' real he's no joke, that guy don't play
He tried to ride way more than a one-horse-sleigh
Laughin' all the way, but he's not laughin' today
We'll jingle more than his bells, even the elves with pay
Come christmas eve, old nick's A gonner!
We'll be snackin' on deer, eatin' Blitzen and Donner
Not a question of when, not even a maybe
Have a drunk Mr.. Claus' saying, "Jinglin' Baby!"
Give a new meaning to "ho, ho, ho"
Shake that ass girl, bump your booty in the snow
So watch out Santa, you jolly old troll
We'll be strippin' that sleigh and leave you the coal

Back out to the woods with his faggy elf Randall
Santa Claus wouldn't list me as nice
In fact, he'll have me listed as 'naughty' twice
Not cuz' of the fights, or the Christmas gift heist,
Because of all the nog, I left on his wife
It's time for old Nick to move and retire
'fore we roast his nuts on a big ass fire
Yes I'm that bad, Yes, I'm that crude
I mean ya ass is huge, lose weight, for real dude
All the cookies and milk, simply quite sick
I mean, when's the last time you've seen your dick

Well I'm looking for a woman
About five foot six
Who ain't into glamour
She's just into kicks
Just a sweet fashion lady
Stepping dynamite
Who's gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby
Don't run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love
Well I'm walking down the street
And my heart's feeling heavy
Swaying with the beat
'Cause I'm more than just ready
She's looking at me
I can feel it in my bones
Step right on up
And I'll be taking you home
Don't turn away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lot of love
A whole lot of love
Well I'm looking for a woman
Who's looking for a man
Who's looking for a time
Like she ain't ever had
Just a sweet fashion lady
Stepping dynamite
Who's gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby don't run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love

Words and music by bob seger
Went out in norfork hung on a short short
Livin' with a bottle of wine
To music, ladies and burned out babies
I was tryin' to write a couple of lines
Sherriff gribbs with his grim ad libs
Spoutin' 'bout the crime in the streets
And women were screamin' and some were dreamin'
'bout the crowd between the sheets
You know that music died, hurt my pride
Somehow I got through, back in '72
Somehow we made it to baton rouge
We stayed inside for a week
We weren't in town for no mardi gras
So we decided to sleep
Houston, yes, was a good old guest
Tho knows how bad we wanted to play
But we got homesick for lincoln park
(imagine that) and then we just couldn't stay
Tricky dick, he played it slick
Something I was afraid he'd do
Back in '72, oh, '72
Then all our new born philosophers
Out went to alert the world
Then some psuedo-intellectuals
Even got it unfurled
Takin' notes on that harvard course
And got me on a bottle of seed
It was so hip to be negative
So square to try and leave
When the waters cleared, it was what we feared
We learned nothin' new,
Back in '72
'72
'72
In '72
Back in '72
Back in '72 back in '72,...

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished 'em well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They finished off an apartment with a two-room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was jammed with tv dinners and ginger ale
And when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono, boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all blues, rock, rhythm, and jazz
But when the sun went down, the volume went down as well
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney, it was a cherry red '53
And drove it down to New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

Evil Edna she wore sequins to the funeral
Looked just like a gypsy
Never shed a tear
Everybody said she looked just like a hooker
Everyone mistook her for the loser of the year
Still the voices of the prophets
Tell us we should live just so
Enda did not know
Ah Edna didn't care
Two weeks later, Edna laughed at her confession
Gave the nuns a chill
Laughed just like a gypsy
Everybody said she'd never be forgiven
Everybody cursed her, said that she was ill
Still the voices of the prophets
Ah Edna didn't care
Tell us we should live just so
Oh she did not know
Just the other day I heard some people talkin'
Edna went out walkin' and she passed away
No one knew exactly just what happened
No one came to mourn her, we all stayed away

I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear Sir letters keep coming in the mail
I work my back till it's racked with pain
The boss can't even recall my name
I show up late and I'm docked
It never fails
I feel like just another
Spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass
In a great big field
To workers I'm just another drone
To Ma Bell I'm just another phone
I'm just another statistic on a sheet
To teachers I'm just another child
To irs I'm just another file
I'm just another consensus on the street
Gonna cruise out of this city
Head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean
Hey it's me
And I feel like a number
Feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a number
I'm not a number
I'm not a number
Dammit I'm a man

<@#Bob_Seger_Fire_Inside.txt#@>
Words and music by bob seger
There's a hard moon risin' on the streets tonight
There's a reckless feeling in your heart as you head out tonight
Through the concrete canyons to the midtown light
Where the latest neon promises are burning bright
Past the open windows on the darker streets
Where unseen angry voices flash and children cry
Past the phony posers with their worn out lines
The tired new money dressed to the nines
The low life dealers with their bad designs
And the dilettantes with their open minds
You're out on the town, safe in the crowd
Ready to go for the ride
Searching the eyes, looking for clues
There's no way you can hide
The fire inside
Well you've been to the clubs and the discotheques
Where they deal one another from the bottom of a deck of promises
Where the cautious loners and emotional wrecks
Do an acting stretch as a way to hide the obvious
And the lights go down and they dance real close
And for one brief instant they pretend they're safe and warm
Then the beat gets louder and the mood is gone
The darkness scatters as the lights flash on
They hold one another just a little too long
And they move apart and then move on
On to the street, on to the next
Safe in the knowledge that they tried
Faking the smile, hiding the pain
Never satisfied
The fire inside
Fire inside
Now the hour is late and he thinks you're asleep
You listen to him dress and you listen to him leave
Like you knew he would
You hear his car pull away in the street
Then you move to the door and you lock it when
He's gone for good
Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon
Riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky
And it comes to you how it all slips away
Youth and beauty are gone one day
No matter what you dream or feel or say
It ends in dust and disarray
Like wind on the plains, sand through the glass
Waves rolling in with the tide
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode
But we cannot be denied
The fire inside
<@#Bob_Seger_Gone.txt#@>
This gravestone is peaceful and quiet
She pulls up a chair and sits right by it
The air around is gentle and warm
The rose colored wreath is tattered and torn
Tiny blades of grass are peeking through
Drawing life from sunshine and dew
Remembering his eyes when she lied
Knowing she lives feeling she's died
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Where have all the good time gone
Where have all the good time gone
Where have all the good time gone my child
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
So every night after sunshine
You'll find her there alone in her shrine
Two forms appearing ghostly in rain
One red marble the other blue pain
Where have all the good time gone
Where have all the good time gone
Where have all the good time gone my child
Da da da da da da da

I wasn't born lookin' back, I can't tell white from black
Kesey next to me now darling, straighter than a railroad track
I've been so high, my mind was dry
I rent it out to farmers on the midnight ride
That ain't all
I ain't even got me a congressman I can call
I seen 'em dumpin' garbage, in my rivers and lakes
All right
I seen 'em send up John Sinclair, you know
Two joints is all it takes
Then suddenly I was in a tree
And dogs were barking up at me
Can't you see
I'm so damn apethetic, I can't believe I'm free
As the senator he signs the bills you know
And he's telling us which way we have to go
Think it's time we got together and declared
When you see them coming and you get so scared
Rain is falling down, but you know I'm feeling fine
I think I'll watch the tv set, let America steal my mind
But you know I'm cool, Momma had a rule
She didn't raise no fool to be true to someone else
I'm gonna be myself
I'm runnin' down that highway child

She stood there bright as the sun
On that California coast
He was a Midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes
So innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home
He was too far from home
She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach
They watched the waves tumble over the sand
They drove for miles and miles
Up those twisting turning roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills
He'd headed west cause he felt that a change would do him good
See some old friends, good for the soul
She had been born with a face
That would let her get her way
He saw that face and he lost all control
He had lost all control
Night after night
Day after day
It went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night staring down at the lights on LA
Wondering if he could ever go home
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills
In those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills

Seekin' out the heat with their eyes cast down millin' around

There's a last boat comin' in ghosting on the wind

I wonder It makes me wonder

Are your dreams the same

In the last days of the last great war
My father was not in the fighting
And my mother never had to mourn
I was raised, raised and taught to hurry
I've been hurrying and worrying all my days
But now as I'm getting older
I think I'm learning how to run the race
And with you by my side, your heart close to mine,
I've got time
I used to wake up every morning
And lie there far too long
I had no reason for living
Everything I did was wrong

Oh, how she could control me,
When I was bad she'd scold me,
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me,
And I'd cry.
But momma she never told me a lie -
Momma she never told me a lie.
I used to stay out evenings,
Stay out too late some evenings,
And momma would be there seething,
Back home.
Momma, she sat and waited,
Sat in the hall and waited,
Now I know why she hated
That phone.
And when I'd come in she'd grab me,
Right by the arm she'd grab me,
Lord, when she was finished with me,
I'd cry ... Oh, I'd cry.
But momma she never told me a lie.

It's the age of reason for the anarchist
It's a change of venue for the lobbyist
It's a dream of justice buried in the grist
It's a secret briefing based on need to know
It's a condescending rationale from command control
Feel the sense of wonder at the overthrow
It's a rite of passage through a hurricane
Through a rolling thunder through a screaming rain
Hear the shriek of Abel hear the cry of Cain
And Abraham will take his son
Five billion years from now the cruelty will be done
Make a destination
Of the greater truth
Make 'em hang their heads and eat their words
When you find the proof
This is all you're given
It's your only move
It's a rite of passage for the everyman
To a higher ground
To a brighter light
To a promised land
You can feel the power
Of the master's hand
It's a rite of passage
<@#Bob_Seger_Roll_Me_Away.txt#@>
Took a look down a westbound road right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two wheeler I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains and just rolled that power on
Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks and I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing I knew what she was thinkin'
Roll roll me away won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost I feel double crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word we just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight
We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
Stood alone on a mountain top starin' out at the Great Divide
I could go east I could go west it was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'
Roll roll away I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin' gotta keep ridin' keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right

Sometimes I move in chains
But I never feel the pain
I wish I could explain
Sometimes
Sometimes it goes so fast
I try to make some moment last
I watch it slippin' past
Sometimes
I get this infernal need
I'm losin' ground
Gotta make up speed
Right now
Something's there just out of reach
Something I'm not sure I need
Something I just can't let be
Touchin' something deep in me
Sometimes burnin' bright
In the dark heart of the night
I think I see a light
Sometimes
Sometimes I hear the sound
Of some night train leavin' town
I want to chase it down
Sometimes
I want to catch that train
I want to get on board
I want to ride away to some distant shore
Right now
I want to leave behind this hopeless maze
Of broken dreams and endless days
I want to wake up some place far away
I wanna wake up to a brand new day
Sometimes
Sometimes I move in chains
But I never feel the pain
I wish I could explain
Sometimes
Sometimes it goes so fast
I try to make some moment last
I watch it slippin' past
Sometimes

Is where I want to be
It's a far piece over The Mountain
But I hope you'll go with me
I grew up as a dreamer
I found that dreams aren't free
Now I want you here with me
I've lived so long near the mountain
It's almost part of me
I want to have it behind me
It blocks out all I can see
It looms up dark and ancient
Its shadow over me
I want it behind me
All that time, all that precious time
It's gone from you and me
We're givin' up this scene
We're givin' up this scene
Now some will say that we're destined
Some will call it fate

It's just like love and hate
We're prisoners of our passion

Take away my inhibitions
Take away my solitude
Fire me up with your resistance
Put me in the mood
Storm the walls around this prison
Leave the inmates
Free the guards
Deal me up another future
From some brand new deck of cards
Take the chip off of my shoulder
Smooth out all the lines
Take me out among the rustling pines
Till it shines
Like an echo down a canyon
Never coming back as clear
Lately I just judge the distance
Not the words I hear
I've been too long on these islands
I've been far too long alone
I've been too long without summer
In this winter home
Still if we can make the effort
If we take the time
Maybe we can leave this much behind
Till it shines
See the rich man lost and lonely
Watch him as he dines
Sitting there just testing all the wines
Till it shines
<@#Bob_Seger_Train_Man.txt#@>
And over in the teacher's home she waited by the phone
For calls which never rang, and people who never sang
Train man rambled dusty into town and made his daily round
Train man and he comes in the night
Brings her no love but he's right
Yes he's right
Through fog and misty morning dew, she'd seen his oily face
And he had touched her heart, taken it apart
Though he never stopped to speak a word his voice was all she heard
Train man and he comes in the night
Brings her no love but he's right
Little girl you're a pretty little girl
Yes he's right
Won't you come with me a while
Little girl in your frilly little world
Won't you give me your sweet smile
(first solo)
If you come tonight bring someone
If you come tonight bring someone
Don't come alone
If you come alone don't come
Don't come
Don't come
(solo)
Yes I know he's right
Yes I know he's right
Oh I know he's right
fade...
She held his hand and whispered soft
I love you train man
He just grumbled like engine as it rumbles
And said someday
Train man and he knows something's wrong and he's right
Oh yes he's right
<@#Bob_Seger_Tryin_To_Live_My_Life_Without_You_(Live).txt#@>
All right, you guys feel funky tonight, ah yeah
This is an old Memphis song, old Memphis song
I used to smoke
Five packs of cigarettes a day
It was the hardest thing
To put them away
I drink four or five bottles of wine
I kept a glass
In my hand all the time
Breaking those habits was hard to do
But nothing compared to the changes
You put me through
Trying to live my life without you babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Trying to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have
All right, I said
I had the worst reputation in town
For chasing all the women around
I thought changing my way of living
Was hard to do
But it's nothing compared to the changes
That you put me through
I've done everything I've tried to do
But it's gonna take a miracle
To get me over you
Trying to live my life without you babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Trying to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have
<@#Bob_Seger_West_Of_The_Moon.txt#@>
Out on those trails
Out 'neath that sky
Rivers of old
Still rushing by
Eagles still soar
White mountains loom
Down in those valleys
West of the Moon
West of the stars
Far from the chase
Far from the crowds
Far from the pace
Horses run free
Winter comes soon
Out by those mountains
West of the Moon
And everywhere
Everywhere
Wild things are free
Free in the wind and the sun
Everywhere
Everywhere
As it should be
Left on their own while they run
Out by those mountains
West of the Moon

Aint no cure for love
Aint no cure for love
There aint no cure for love
Aint no cure
Cupid was a blind man
He must have missed his mark
Shot an arrow in the air and hit me in the heart
I went to see Saint Valentine
Said Whats come over me?
Daddy must have missed the chapter about the birds and bees
You can be the King of diamonds
You can cash in all your gold
You could hire Johnnie Cochran
Its too late to save your soul
Don't need no shot, no ambulance
Don't need prescription drugs
There aint no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There aint no cure for love
Now someone call my lawyer
I'm going to see my shrink
I found myself in the jewelry store buying a diamond ring
I went to see my doctor
Said Wont you help me please?
He said Son I'm sorry, its a terminal disease
Can't get no love insurance
Cupid draws his bow
I aint waving boys, I'm drowning
Its a damn good way to go
Don't need no shot, no ambulance
Don't need prescription drugs
There aint no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There aint no cure for love
You can be the King of Diamonds
You can cash in all your gold
You can hire Johnnie Cochran
Its too late to save your soul
Don't need no shot, no ambulance
Don't need prescription drugs
There aint no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There aint no cure for love
No aspirin
No ambulance
Or Voodoo you can think up
Aint no cure for love
Aint no cure for love
Aint no cure for love
Aint no cure for love
There aint no cure for love

Feel me like I feel you
Won't you let me come inside
Heal me like I heal you
Let your mind, body, soul, come alive
On my knees (but I'm Rising)
On My Feet (Getting Higher)
I will fly
Hey Hey I'm Alive
Didn't think I'd make it to the other side
Here to stay I'm alive
Hey hey I survived
It's a brand new day
And I feel fine
Here to say I'm alive
Want me like I want you
That's my heart you hold in your hands
Touch me like I touch you
Make me feel like superman
On my knees (but I'm Rising)

Hey hey I'm alive
Didn't think I'd make it to the other side
Here to stay I'm alive
Hey hey I survived

And I feel fine
Here to stay I'm alive
Like the wind run with me
Take my hand come with me
Those bastards ain't bringing us down
For all the dreams that died
And all of the tears they cried
If there's one thing I've learned
Life is now
On my knees (but I'm Rising)
On My Feet (Getting Higher)
I will fly
Hey hey I'm alive
Didn't think I'd make it to the other side

America the beautiful
Oh, beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain's majesties
Above the fruited plain
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
Oh, beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years

Undimmed by human tears

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Since you've been gone now, honey
Life ain't nothing but sad luck days
I begged on my knees now, sugar
You acted like you never knew my name
My friends saw you at the station
I guess you must have missed your train
Tell me is it 'cause you love me, Billy
Or is it just because you love the pain?
Billy, Billy
Ain't love hard to explain?
For a debutante you're a real hard woman
But I love you just the same
How come you're sad when I get happy?
Why do you laugh when I want to cry?
Tell me why when I say I need you
You turn around and you say goodbye?
Why do you think that a heart's so fragile?
Can you tell me why love's so blind?
Just like a magnet you pull me under
I can't resist you, we're two of a kind
Billy, Billy
Ain't love hard to explain?
For a debutante you're a real hard woman
But I love you just the same
Billy, Billy
Can we be lovers and friends?
Life is like a movie but this ain't pretend
There really have to be a happy end
[Incomprehensible]
Billy, Billy
Ain't love hard to explain?
For a debutante you're a real hard woman
But I love you just the same
I never said you had to walk on water
Or that I could ever stop the rain
Sometimes we break up just to make up, baby
And we don't care who's to blame
Billy, Billy
Ain't love hard to explain?
For a debutante you're a real hard woman
But I love you just the same
Billy, Billy
Can we be lovers and friends?
Life is like a movie but this ain't pretend

<@#Bon_Jovi_Blood_Money.txt#@>
Hey Patty Garrett that's what I used to call you
They tell me you want me but I hear they've got you
They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver
They paid you some money to sell them my blood
But you say this ain't about me, this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away
I wonder what would have happened
If you were the killer
And I was the hero
Would things be the same
Or would I have traded
Your life for my own life
Would I have paid
Your debts in your place
But this ain't about me, this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away
Blood money
That's what I call it
'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood money
Bought and then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave
<@#Bon_Jovi_Breathe.txt#@>
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love is suicide
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance girl
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
Well I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your Valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I wasn't there when you were happy
And I wasn't there when you were down
Didn't mean to miss your birthday baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
<@#Bon_Jovi_Come_Back.txt#@>
Now that you're gone, I can see what
Was going on and how you lied
When you'd said you'd never love again
Friends telephone and they say
You weren't out alone last night
Can't you see that this broken heart
Is killing me
Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me
[Chorus:]
Come back cause I need your love
Come back got to have your love
Come back bring your loving back to me
Come back cause it's been so long
Come back, and my love's still strong
Come back bring your loving back to me
You play with words play with love
It's just your silly way
I'm a fool cause I need you by my side again
Now it's too late you walk by
With another man
And I stand alone
Cause I know that you're not coming home
Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me
[Chorus]
Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me
[Chorus]
<@#Bon_Jovi_Dont_Leave_Me_Tonight.txt#@>
If I had to I would lie for you,
And baby I would cry, I'd cry for you.
If I have to, I'll get down on my knees for you.
Tommy's home and waiting up for you,
And it you leave, he'll make you black and blue.
Please don't go, not this time,
Oh no don't leave me tonight.
Don't leave me tonight, don't leave me tonight,
Don't leave me tonight, oh no no.
If you only knew what you put me through,
And how many night I've waited up for you.
Thinkin' about you baby every night,
Now you're here and you've gotta go home.
We can hide out and rendezvous,
Just me and just you.
So please baby please, don't put up a fight,
Oh no don't leave me tonight.
Don't leave me tonight, don't leave me tonight,
Don't leave me tonight, oh no no.
Don't leave me tonight (oh baby not tonight)
Don't leave me tonight (I can't take it this time)
Don't leave me tonight (Oh no no no)
He don't love you half as much as I do,
Promise you'll stay the night, and love me too.
Yeah yeah yeah.
I can't stand another night alone,
Or talkin' to you on the phone.
So tell 'em that we're runnin' away,
Tell 'em anything you want.
Please stay now, don't say you'll go.
Don't leave me tonight,
Everything's gonna be alright.
I need you girl, I need you to stay,
Don't turn your back and walk away.
Don't leave me tonight, don't leave me tonight,
Don't leave me tonight, oh no no.
Don't leave me tonight (everything will be alright)
Don't leave me tonight (I can tell you I love you)
Don't leave me tonight (I'm goin' outa my mind I
Can't stand the nights alone).
Don't leave me tonight (So baby don't say you're goin')
Don't leave me tonight (Oh baby stay around)
Don't leave me tonight (I can't take it, can't take it,
Can't take it, can't
Take it without you, so baby please hang on).
<@#Bon_Jovi_Every_Beat_Of_My_Heart.txt#@>
As a hard rain beats down in the night
It sounds like applause
Still I can't hear a sound
With the beat of my heart
I can't pick up that phone anymore
And I need to confess
If I don't say, "I love you"
Everything else is a waste of my breathe
Every beat of my heart I would give
Every beat of my heart just to live
To live for your love, if all that I want
Is to die in your arms
I'd give you every beat of my heart
As I whisper your name
I wish you were here by my side
And the only way that I find you
Is when I close my eyes
With my ring on your finger
I hope and I pray
That you know deep in your soul
With every step that you take
Every beat of my heart I would give
Every beat of my heart just to live
I live for your love, if all that I want
Is to die in your arms
I'd give you every beat of my heart
It's the little things that you do
That make me want you more
It's the way your hands are trembling
But what they trembling for?
It's the way the smile fits on your lips
The way you hold me tight
God knows I'd give everything
To be in your arms tonight
I live for your love, it's all that I want
Is to die in your arms
I'd give every beat of my heart just to live
Every beat of my heart, just to live
I live for your love, it's all that I want
To die in your arms
I'd give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
<@#Bon_Jovi_Get_Ready.txt#@>
You need someone to make it last
No Romeos who'll love and leave you fast
They fade away
Tonight you're not gonna be alone
Making love on the telephone
Baby, baby if you can hold on
I'm gonna take you all the way tonight
I like 'em down and dirty, hold on tight
[Chorus:]
Come on get ready
Come on get ready
You're looking sharp in your dancing shoes
You got the style and you got the moves
Oh you're so hot, girl and on the loose
You're caught up in a danger zone
Just seventeen but you act full grown
The nightlife is turning you on
You want to take me all the way tonight
Take my hand, you can feel the heat
Make you feel alright
[Chorus]
Come on
Come on
<@#Bon_Jovi_Gotta_Have_A_Reason.txt#@>
Here we stand, caught between the cradle and the grave
In a world that gives you nothing but your name
With every step you take, you must be brave
Nothing lost is nothing gained
And I know lives are lost for crowns and kings
We all know love is lost for lesser things
And the angels here have broken wings
Though I know somewhere a choir sings
You gotta have a reason
A reason to believe
A reason just to dream
Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
A reason to believe
A hot-headed hero, here you see I'm just a man
Comes a time, a time to make a stand, yeah
So here I am with heart in hand
Don't be afraid to understand
You gotta have a reason
One reason to believe
A reason just to dream
Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
A reason to believe in trust
I believe in faith
I believe in us
'Til my dying day
You gotta have a reason
Whoa, you gotta have a reason, yeah
If all we've got is you and me
Then what we've got is all we need
You gotta have a reason
One reason to believe
A reason just to dream
But sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
One reason
You gotta have a reason
One reason to believe
A reason just to dream
But sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
One reason
You gotta have a reason
Whoa, you gotta have a reason
One reason to believe
A reason just to dream, yeah

Break down

Gonna shout out

Come see a living, breathing spectacle
Only seen right here
It's your last chance in this lifetime
The line forms to the rear
You won't believe your eyes
Your eyes will not believe you're ears
Get your money out, get ready
Step right up, yeah you, come here
You ain't seen nothing like him
the last one of the breed
You better hold on to your honey
Honeys, don't forget to breathe
Enter at your own risk, mister
It might change the way you think
There's no dancers, there's no diamonds
No this boy he don't lip-synch
[Chorus:]
Here's the last man standing
Step right up, he's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel, the real thing
See those real live calloused fingers
Wrapped around those guitar strings
Kiss the lips where hurt has lingered
It breaks the hart to hear him sing
The songs were more than music
They were pictures from the soul
Se keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk
And your digital downloads
[Chorus]
Take your seats now, folks. It's showtime
Hey, Patrick - hit the lights
There's something in the air
There's magic in the night
Now here's the band, they really play
I'll count the first one in
I don't know where it's gone
Well all know where it's been

The last man standing
Step right up, he's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come see, hear, feel, the real thing.

J. Bon jovi
I was walking on a wire
Looking down, there was no net
Now, I'm standing at your door
Me and my last cigarette
Yeah weve been through this before
Too late to cover up my tracks
Damn the fool who begs for more
Ill take my past and paint it black
Now the circus has left town
This clown has got to get his feet back on the ground
I'm learning how to fall
Learning how to take a hit
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
Now I'm learning how to fall
Yeah, I got the hang of it
I was standing in the light
There were faces all around
I put my gloves up for a fight
One sucker punch and I was down
I'm learning how to fall
Learning how to take a hit
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall
Yeah, I got the hang of it
I was flying through the clouds
Pucker up, its time to kiss the ground
I'm learning how to fall
Learning how to take a hit
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall
Now I got the hang of it
<@#Bon_Jovi_Memphis_Lives_In_Me.txt#@>
There's a town that I call home
Where all the streets are paved with soul
Down on Beale there's a honky-tonk bar
So hear the wail of a blues guitar
Have a beer and drop a dime in the blind man's jar
The blues sing softly in the air like a Sunday morning prayer
Just one more drink and you'll see God everywhere
Like a sad old melody that cheers you up, it sets you free
That's how Memphis lives in me
There comes a time when muddy waters run rough
There comes a point when a man has had enough
Like a friend that always stands by me
Memphis knows me
Never showed me
How did life just had to be
I couldn't even try to run away, say goodbye
Here I was born and here is where I'll die
I'm just a man from Tennessee
I can't be what I can't be
All I know is Memphis lives in me
I said I'm just a man from Tennessee
Can't be what I can't be
All I know is Memphis lives
All I know is Memphis gives

There are days when she's a whisper
Nights when she's a scream
A reason to wake up in the morning
To close your eyes and dream
She'll curse you like a sailor
She'll wound you with her eyes
She always makes it better
But she won't apologize
I know everything about her but don't know her at all
[Chorus]
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
Mystery train
She cries because she's happy
She sings songs when she's mad
Like a stiff drink when you need it
She's good at being bad
And long before you knew her you knew she was the one
[Chorus]
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
Mystery train
I know everything about her but don't know her at all
[Chorus]
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place I've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
I'm not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
On a mystery train
She's a ride
On a mystery train

No apology (no apology)
We will not back down (no apology)
We are not afraid (no apology)
Not a drop of doubt
Let's start this from the happy ending
Just another white trash train-track kid
Fighting for survival
Trying not to do like his daddy did
Double down the devil at three card monte
No apology, he just knew when to quit
Push your luck, say your prayers
Make believe you don't care
Take a chance, sometimes it's all you need
(No apology)
No apology (no apology)
We will not back down (no apology)
We are not afraid (no apology)
Not a drop of doubt (no apology)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies
No apologies
You wanna start a personal revolution
Think of living somebody else's life
You can lie about retribution
But there ain't no fire in your lover's eyes
Seems like everybody's selling you dreams 'round here
But no one's buying and it's closing time
Light the fuse, make your break, there's no time left to waste
Baby just like freedom, nothin's free
(No apology)
No apology (no apology)
We will not back down (no apology)
We are not afraid (no apology)
Not a drop of doubt (no apology)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies
You wanna start a personal revolution
What else you gotta do tonight
(No apology)
No apology (no apology)
We will not back down (no apology)
We are not afraid (no apology)
Not a drop of doubt (no apology)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies

<@#Bon_Jovi_Nobodys_Hero.txt#@>
When you're afraid and it feels like you're too tired to fight
Even if your heart don't know if you're still alive
Man you never felt so alone in this world tonight
And I, don't you know that I felt the same?
I've seen the storm I've been through the rain
You gotta know That I feel your pain
Don't be afraid
When you're on the edge, I will rescue you
When you need a friend, I'll be there for you
I'm nobody's hero
But for you I'd lay down my life
Nobody's hero
But I'd tear down the stars from the sky
If you would lean on me, baby dream on me
You can bleed on me, just believe in me
Nobody's hero
But out on these streets
They're waiting for blind eyes to see
They're waiting for our cuts to bleed
I hear they're waiting for you and me
Well alright, alright
Cause this time
You know I ain't afraid to fight
For you I ain't afraid to die
As long as you are by my side
It will be alright
When all faith is gone, I will pray for you
Just keep holding on, I'll be there for you
I'm nobody's hero
But for you I lay down my life
Nobody's hero
But I'd tear down the stars from the sky
If you would lean on me, baby bleed on me
Baby dream on me, just believe in me
Nobody's hero
I'm nobody's hero
But for you I lay down my life
Nobody's hero
But I'd tear down the stars from the sky
If you would lean on me, you can bleed on me
Baby dream on me, just believe in me
Nobody's hero
Baby, lean on me, you can dream on me
Just bleed on me, just believe in me

10.000 light years somewhere out in space
They practice love and they know what it takes
No competition and no jealousy
Living in freedom and humanity
10.000 light years away, light years away far from pain
Came to a place full of grace and of peace
10.000 light years away from our fear
Suddenly it's ringing in my ears
Why is it now i don't want to be here
I feel like flow in that clock at the wall
God, how i wish that this dream would go on
10.000 light years away, light years away far from pain
Came to a place full of grace and of peace
10.000 light years away from our fear
10.000 light years somewhere out in space (10.000 lightyears)
10.000 light years somewhere out in space (10.000 lightyears)
10.000 light years somewhere out in space (10.000 lightyears)
10.000 light years somewhere out in space (10.000 lightyears)

Reality comes knocking at my door
I face the same obligations once more
Dreams took me 10.000 light years away
I'd give all i got if that's where i could stay

We are children of paradise
When the Lord created us
All his work was through
Then the children of paradise
Did the only thing they really shouldn't do
Children of paradise
We started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care
We are children of paradise
We knew of no crime
Until one of the meanest lies
Has changed our time
It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began with Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel
No trouble no grief
Children of paradise
We're the children of paradise
In search of the light
That was put in paradise
And started the night
It was long ago
We are children of paradise
We are the children of paradise
Who didn't obey
When we followed the wrong advise
We wandered astray
We are the children of paradise
In search of the light
It was long ago

I was walkin' down the street
Concentratin' on truckin' right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And I looked 'round in a state of fright
I saw four faces one mad a brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit and turned to each other
(I say) I don't like cricket, a oh no I love it, a yeah
I don't like cricket-a no no I love it-a yeah
Don't you walk through my words you got to show some respect
Don't you walk through my words 'cause you ain't heard me out yet
Well he looked down at my silver chain
He said "I'll give you one dollar"
I said "you've got to be joking man
It was a present from me mother"
He said "I like it I wan' it I'll take it off your hands
An' you'll be sorry you'd crossed me
You'd better understand that you're a long, a long way from home"
(And I say) I don't like reggae, a no no I love it, a hey
I don't like reggae, a yeah yeah I love it-a oh yeah
Don't you cramp me style don't you queer me pitch
Don't you walk through my words 'cause you
Ain't heard me out yet
I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina colada
I heard a dark voice beside me say
"would you like something hotter"
She said "I've got it you wan' it my harvest is the best
And if you try it you'll like it and wallow in the
Dreadlock holiday, dreadlock holiday, dreadlock holiday"
(And I say) don't like jamaica oh no I love her hey
Don't like jamaica oh no I love her oh yeh
Don't you walk through my words you got to show some respect
Don't you walk through my words 'cause you ain't heard me out yet
I don't like cricket-a oh no I love it-a dreadlock holiday

Don't wanna live here anymore
I see a planet slowly die
And I get tired of wondering why
Come and join the right future world
Don't you wanna be free and alive
Come and join the right future world
To a world where we all can survive
Get on board and fly with me
To the future world (future world)
To let our children grow up there in peace
We can live in harmony
In another world (another world)
10.000 light years away

Get on board and fly with me
To the future world (future world)
We can build a better world up there

In another world (another world)

10.000 light years away
10.000 light years away

Don't waste the precious life away
The spaceship's taking off today
Leave your belongings all behind
Everything you need is in your mind
Get on board and fly with me
To the future world (future world)
We can build a better world up there

In another world (another world)

<@#Boney_M._Going_Back_West.txt#@>
I was born and raised in the ghetto
Talk with me and you'll know
I wasn't satisfied, with living on the side
I started looking around, for a possibility
Listen to my story, of what became of me
I met a businessman
Who said he had some friends back east
So why don't you come along
Well we can help you at least
We'll make you into a big star
By playing your guitar
But the joke was on me
They left me flat to see
Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think I'll do alright
Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think I'll do alright
Struggling for recognition, identity and respect
I got a lot of promises
They told me not to fret
So we will stand by you
If the going gets rough
But when I started thinking
They didn't even bluff
'Bout a year has come and gone
And left me standing here
Thinking how it could have been
For still I ain't nowhere
They surely took me for a ride
Trampled on my pride
But I hold my head up high
Got no more tears to cry
Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think I'll do alright
Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think I'll do alright
Going back west
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
<@#Boney_M._Goodbye_My_Friend.txt#@>
Whirlwind you must know he can't leave
Ever since he was young he had known what a man should know
With no hatred inside
Whirlwind take the wife and the child
Find the trail that leads south
To the lands they have given you
The new home for your tribe
Brother of blood
I have heard that the soldiers are two moons away
They come with many guns
And death is waiting for a brave man
Such as you
Goodbye my friend you must be on your way
Down through the canyons we wait and we pray
Goodbye my friend you can linger no more
Gun smoke is rising so run to that war
Beyond the hills the far horizon
In the purple evening sky
You'll find the valley of walhalla
There when you die

Heyeah, We're really flyin' high
Gotta go home, home, home
Gotta go home, home, home
Gotta go home, home, home
Gotta go home, home, home

Walkin' down the beaches
Tomorrow mornin' we'll be there
Golden sandy beaches
Say, I can smell the breezy air
One more celebration
And then we're ready for goodbye
Bye, Bye,Bye
Walkin' down the beaches
Heyeah, We're really flyin' high

I can't wait 'till I see you
Feel your heart next to mine
We'll be together again like before
You and I all alone
I'll hold you close when I walk through that door
I'll be home for Christmas
We can stay by the fire
With the lights turned down low
We can watch happy children
As they play in the snow
Though I may be far away from you now
Darling I promise this
It wont be long 'till we're sharing a kiss
I'll be home for Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
I'll be home Christmas time
When you wait Christmas morning
I'll be there by your side

Burning out in space shining on my face
Fly me through the night on your Silver Wings
Over crystal seas Valleys of the Kings
By the lilac shore where the dragon flies
In the diamond skies

And tangle of wild illusion
We're living in a wonder world of fantasy
We spent all our times in sweet living dreams
It's a Silly Silly Confusion
Like a flower of wild profusion
You can do the things in life

Within your heart you know it always will come through
Take me for a ride in your Dream-Machine
To a time and place where no one has been
Let me look upon worlds I've never seen

Fly me to a star burning out in space
Let me feel the light shining on my face
Sail on solar winds sail on silver birds
Through the universe

Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool baby, you're strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary girl
And I'm burnin' down the house
Hold tight, wait till this party's over
Hold tight, well we're gonna be in for some nasty weather
There has got to be a way
And we're burnin' down the house
Here's your ticket, pack your bags, it's time for goin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but we're not too far, bet you're wonderin' where you are
Fight fire with fire
Burning down the house
All wet, and you might need a raincoat
Shake down, my dreams are walkin' in broad daylight
365 degrees
And we're burnin' down the house
My house, out of the ordinary
That's right, I don't want to really hurt nobody
Some things sure sweep me off my feet
And we're burnin' down the house

That shine so high up in the sky

Hope that I can find
A cure for this love
Could be you want me
Could be you care
Could be the words you say,
Are things I just want to hear
You me nervous, got me shaking
Maybe I can find
A cure for this love
La la la la
Doctor, doctor
Give me healing, so I can stop this feeling
It's getting so much stronger
And I just can't go on much longer
Doctor please
Find me a way out of love
When the phone rings
And no one answers
The letters comeback saying
"Lover cannot be found"
Don't go looking, don't bother searching
You see it's 'cause your baby
Found herself a cure for love

I met you on a Monday
But Tuesday you stole my heart
You gave me everything I ever wanted
And then turned and walked away
You just turned and walked away
I get excited, excited
Whenever you come around
I get excited, always building me up
And never letting me down, excited
As simple as one, two, three
I get excited
That's what you're doin'
What you're doin' to me
That's what you're doin'
That's what you're doin'
Just when I thought I was over you
Soon as I was sure you were gone
I see you somewhere standin' 'cross the room
But you turn and walk away
You just turn and walk away
I still get excited, excited
Whenever you come around
I get excited, always building me up
And never letting me down, excited
As simple as one, two, three
I get excited
That's what you're doin'
That's what you're doin' to me
That's what you're doin'
That's what you're doin' to me
That's what you're doin'
That's what you're doin'
Now that I know the problem
The answer should be easy to find
It takes common sense to simply convince him
Not to turn and walk away
Tryin' to get that man to stay
I still get excited
Whenever you come around
I get excited, baby, always building me up
And never letting me down, excited
As simple as one, two, three
I get excited
That's what you're doin'
That's what you're doin' to me
That's what you're doin'
That's what you're doin'

Slowly comin' down in the daytime
I been lyin' low from work, hangin' over from the hurt from you babe
But I'm gonna suffer through the strain, till I get a
Better thing with you, Darlin', me and you.
So far to see ahead
When I can't seem to drag myself out of bed
Gotta find me a good man, a good man, a good man.Yeah.
You better stop, think about what you're saying
I was seriously dedicated, in the game of playin'
You made ten thousand promises you could'nt keep
I forgave you when you lied, pleaded and weeped
Put up with your disrespect and neglect
What an experience, I'll never forget.
Till now, everything I did was wrong. (I'm sorry, baby)
Today you're free, but we live alone.
Gotta find me a good woman...Good woman...Good woman...Yeah.
It was twelve o'clock in the midnight hour
I heard the door slam, and then the shower
When I got up, you were already gone
I slipped and fell, from the water you left on.

Gotta find a good man
Gotta find a good woman
Gotta find a good man.

It's about to blow
You got nowhere to run

You used to drop your little darlin' off at Sunday school

So don't be actin' surprised when your daughter
Wants it bad as you
You jack up the rent, you call in a loan
Clear your intent is to screw 'em out of all they own
Throw the dog a bone
Well, you'll be cryin' for mercy when
Your karma calls you on the phone
Well you know, times are hard
Ain't it a bitch but
The Japanese are makin' you twitch
All your investments are turnin' sour
It kinda spoils your happy hour
Look around, we're comin' your way
It's a wonder to us how you ever thought
You'd get away, what you say
Well, the way it looks from here
You won't have to wait
The way it looks from here
No need to hesitate
Have a party celebrate
The way it looks from here
You won't have to wait for hell to pay
<@#Bonnie_Raitt_I_Thought_I_Was_A_Child.txt#@>
It's such a clever innocence
With which you do your sorcery
As if somehow your years
Would bow and let that young boy go free
Well, I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
I thought I knew where I was going
Until I heard your laughter flowing
And came upon the wisdom in your eyes, surprise
Well, I've spent my whole life running 'round
Chasing songs from town to town
Thinking I'd be free by just never
Let love slow me down
So lonely and so wild until you turned and smiled
By now I should have long been gone
But here I am holding on
As if I didn't know which way to run
Well, it's such a clever innocence
With which you show myself to me
As if you know how it feels
To never be who you wanted to be
And I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
I thought that I'd free but I'm just one more prisoner of time
Alone within the boundaries of my mind
I thought I was a child
<@#Bonnie_Raitt_Lets_Keep_It_Between_Us.txt#@>
Let's keep it between us
These people meddling in our affairs
They're not our friends
Let's keep it between us
Before the whole door closes
And it comes to an end
They'll tell you one thing, me another
Till we don't know who to trust
Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
Let's keep it between us
We've been through too much together
That they'll never share
They've had nothing to say to us before
Now all of a sudden it's as if
They've always cared
All we need is honesty
A little humility and trust
Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
I know we're not perfect, then again, so what?
That ain't no reason to treat you like a snake
Or to treat me like a slut
And it's makin' me so angry
Could we just lay back for a moment
Before we wake up and find ourselves
In a game that we both have lost?
These easy cures and easy handsomes
Somethin' tells me we can't afford the cost
'Cause some things not fit for human ears
Some things don't need to be discussed
Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
They'll tell you one thing, me another
Till we don't know who to trust
Ohh, darlin', let's keep it between us
Let's keep it between us
Before the whole thing breaks down
And goes too far
If we can't settle our differences by ourselves
Then we must be worse off
Than they think we are
Back seat drivers don't know the feel of the wheel
But they sure know how to make a fuss
Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
Can we keep it between us?
<@#Bonnie_Raitt_Love_On_One_Condition.txt#@>
I might forgive, but I won't forget
Believe me, baby
You swear you changed your ways
You ain't proved it yet
Well my friends try and tell me
Say that I must be mad
If I'm gonna take you back
After the pain I've had
Well, I explain my position
That I made my decision
I'll grant you love on one condition
Love on one condition
Do me right, don't do me wrong
Come home every night, no more carryin' on
I explain my position
I'll grant you love on one condition
Well my friends try and tell me
Say that I must be mad
If I'm gonna take you back
After the pain I've had
Well, I explain my position
That I made my decision
I'll grant you love on one condition
Love on one condition
<@#Bonnie_Raitt_Marriage_Made_In_Hollywood.txt#@>
Jimmy's not a high concept guy
But he's front page news, let me tell you why
He's on the cover of the New York Post
Every network, coast to coast
All he needed was a hot night in June
'Cause he had the needle and he had the spoon
When he spiked it bit, and man, he flew
Into America's living room
We all love tragedy and it loves us too
It's a marriage made in Hollywood
Between greed and you
All you need to be a star is to die in open view
It's a marriage made in Hollywood
Between greed and you
Between greed and you
Between greed and you
Loved by women, admired by men
He walked down Broadway with his best friend
His brain was wired like a light in a socket
With his old friend in his back pocket
That horse could kick, that horse could scream
Ride you outta here into a different scene
Unrequited love and that makes it fair
But who keeps score when you're in mid-air?
We all love tragedy, it loves us too
It's a marriage made in Hollywood
Between greed and you
All you need to be a star is to die in open view
It's a marriage made in Hollywood
Between greed and you
Between greed and you
Between greed and you
Like a free-fall chute that didn't open
He looked down to see his dream was broken
He stared back up at a hot grey sky
Reran his life and then he died
Well if you jump off a building, brother beware!
'Cause my friend Jimmy woke up mid-air
No time to smile, no time to wave
They buried him in a media grave
We all love tragedy, it loves us too
It's a marriage made in Hollywood
Between greed and you
And all you need to be a star is to die in open view
It's a marriage made in Hollywood
Between greed and you
Between greed and you
Between greed and you

You took a part of me that I really miss
I keep askin' myself how long can it go on like this
You told yourself a lie, that's alright, I told myself one too
Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
You took the silver and you took the gold
You left me standin' out in the cold
People ask about you, I didn't tell 'em everything I knew
Well, I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
I'm driftin' in and out of dreamless sleep
Throwin' out my memories in a ditch so deep
I did so many things I never did intend to do
And I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
Well, I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
I feel like talkin' to somebody but I just don't know who
Well, I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me all at once
Rock me for a little while and rock me for a couple a months
You know honey I'll rock you too
Well, I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
Well, there's voices in the night tryin' to be heard
I'm sittin' here listening to every mind-pollutin' word
And I know, I know plenty of people put me up for a day or two
Yes, I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles
Yes, I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
<@#Bonnie_Raitt_Runaway.txt#@>
As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as still walk on I think of the things we've done
Together while our hearts were young
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel a pain
Wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder, I wo wo wo wo wonder
Why, why why why why why she (you) ran away
And I wonder where she (you) will stay
My little runaway, a run run run run runaway
<@#Bonnie_Raitt_Slow_Ride.txt#@>
Feels like nothin' happens fast enough
Well maybe I just want too much
But when something's wrong between us, baby
Nothin' feels right
I think it's time we cleared the air
Take a long drive far away somewhere
Tell me everything you feel inside
We got nothin' but time
Slide over, baby
Here by my side
I want to take you on a slow ride
On a slow ride
Your history shows on your face
Yeah, you've been hurt you've been betrayed
Now we can't change the past, but we can
Leave it behind
We'll forget about tomorrow, baby
We'll just steal away into the night
And we'll just be two shadows, darlin'
In the dashboard light
Slide over, baby
Here by my side
I want to take you on a slow ride
On a slow ride

Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above Laredo
Like meat and potatoes
To me
In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar
And it's my birthday
Drinking salty marguaritas with Fernando
Young and wild
We drove 900 miles of Texas highway
To the Mexican border
As the day was comin' on
We crossed the Rio Grande River
And we swore we'd have things our way
When we happened to walk in to Nuevo Leon
Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above Laredo
Like meat and potatoes
To me
In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar
And it's my birthday
And we're having our picture taken
With Fernando

I need a drink
Don't want to think
I drink too much
But who's to say
What's right or wrong?
I guess you think you see
You're tellin' me
That I don't know
When it's passed the point
Of feelin' good
I run around and find
I just can't get satisfied
Tonight
Now there's a phone
I hear the sound
I needed to talk
But it's too late
For talkin' now
I guess I'll go alone
I feel a glow
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
What I need is a friend tonight
What I need is a friend
What I need is someone
What I really deed is just one more drink
Tonight
Tonight

As simple as breathing, I picture your face
All tangled in daydreams and shielded with grace
I feel you beside me again
Wherever you may be, lift up your head for me
There's somewhere in my heart, only for you
If I must do without, I'll let these sparks fly out
Across the wilderness from me to you
As certain as sunrise, your image unwinds
You're clearer than crystal, you fill up my mind
Now, I have you by my side
Wherever you may be, lift up your head for me
There's somewhere in my heart, only for you
Though continents divide and lonely thoughts collide
Our Heaven will allow, no distance now
I can always close my eyes
Take your absence by surprise
Hold my breath and make believe
As simple as breathing, I picture your face
All tangled in daydreams and shielded with grace
There's somewhere in my heart only for you
If I must do without, I'll let these sparks fly out
Across this wilderness from me to you
Wherever you may be
(Wherever you may be)
Lift up your head for me
(Lift up your head)
There's somewhere in my heart only for you
(Somewhere in my heart)
If I must do without
(If I must do without)
I'll let these sparks fly out
(Ooh, baby)
Across this wilderness from me to you
(Across this wilderness from me to you)
Wherever you may be
Lift up your head for me
There's somewhere in my heart only for you
(I'm missing you baby)
If I must do without
I'll let these sparks fly out
<@#Bonnie_Raitt_Wounded_Heart.txt#@>
Wounded heart I cannot save you from yourself
Though I wanted to be brave it never helped
'Cause your trouble's like a flood ragin' through your veins
No amount of love's enough to end the pain
Tenderness and time can heal a right gone wrong
But the anger that you feel goes on and on
And it's not enough to know that I love you still
So I'll take my heart and go for I've had my fill
If you listen you can hear the angel's wings
Up above our heads so near they are hovering
Waiting to reach out for love when it falls apart
When it cannot rise above a wounded heart
When it cannot rise above a wounded heart
<@#Bonnie_Raitt_You_Got_It.txt#@>
Everytime I look
Into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money
Just can't buy
One look from you
I drift away
I pray that you
Are here to stay
Chorus
Anything you want
You got it
Anything you need
You got it
Anything at all
You got it
Baby
Everytime I hold you
I begin to understand
Everything about you
Tells me I'm your best friend
I live my life
To be with you
No one can do
The things you do

I'm glad to give
My love to you
I know you feel
The way I do

And I don't like to find no evidence, no
To prove you're giving my love away
What more can I say
Except you got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine (ready baby)
You got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
You got to be ready
You got to be ready
This woman don't do no hand pickin'
And I don't think one look is a felony
And I don't appreciate no rubber neckin', no
'Bout a man, when he's with me
Out in the street
Except you got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine (be ready baby)
I said you got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
You got to be ready
You got to be ready
Ready for love

Got to be ready for love

You got to be ready, yeah
You got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
You got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine (be ready baby)
Can't be a cold lover
Just like my old lover
If you wanna be mine
You got to get ready
You got to stay ready
If you wanna be mine (be ready baby)

Told me baby
You were just too tired to try
There was nothing left for you to give
And no more tears to cry
I know she hurt you
But you know I've been hurt too
You just come to me
We'll see what a love can do
Told me baby
I was still too young to know
All the ways that love was going
To drag you down and just how low I'd go
In love and time between us
Makes no difference at all
You know, you're as desperate to get back up
As I am not to fall
Oh, baby, I've been looking for a man like you
Oh, darling, after all we've been through
There's no one left to fool, nothing left for us to do
Except me and you
Told me baby
To find somebody new
Do you really think that I'd come this far
Just to lose a man like you?
You know you've got to take a chance
If only you will stay
And if you've got the time baby, I've got the love
We might just find a way
We might just find a way, yeah
We might just find a way, yeah
We might just find a way, ooh

Definite goodbye until we say goodbye
Definite goodbye
Can't be together, we can't be apart
We tried to get it right with a brand new start
I really thought we would stick till the end
But some things are never meant...
Let me stay for a while
Let me lay down by your side one last time
Let me cry one more tear
Let me hold you in my arms until we say goodbye
Definite goodbye until we say goodbye
Definite goodbye
Right now I can't see a life without you
I don't know where I am,
I don't know where to go
Our love is too deep, we can not be friends
So this is where it all ends....
I know tomorrow there's a new day
That separation is the best way
But all good moments are worth fighting for
So hold me just once more...
Let me stay for a while
Let me lay down by your side one last time
Let me cry one more tear
Let me hold you in my arms until we say goodbye
Definite goodbye until we say goodbye
Definite goodbye
I give you a kiss for moments like this
We don't need to speak to know what we're gonna miss
I'm holding you tight and after a while
We can't stop our tears from falling..
Let me stay for a while
Let me cry one more tear
Let me stay for a while
Let me lay down by your side one last time
Let me cry one more tear
Let me hold you in my arms until we say goodbye
Let me stay for a while
Let me lay down by your side one last time
Let me cry one more tear
Let me hold you in my arms until we say goodbye

My doctor says I need no cure this
Time That everything's alright and I
Am fine but my friends don't agree
They say I'm not the one I used to
Be And it makes me wonder wonder
Wonder Why I'm smiling all the time
The only thing I have inside my mind
Is a picture of you And it's there no
Matter what I do No matter what I
Do not know...
I don't know what it is but I think I'm
Falling in love I don't know what it is
But when I close my eyes You're the
One I'm dreaming of I don't know
What it is but I'm floating in the sky
I don't know what it is and I sure
Don't know how But you filled
My heart with butterflies I'm falling in
Love...
Seems like all my problems went
Away I start to make the most of
Everyday So I spend them with you
No one makes me feel the way you
Do And it makes me wonder wonder
Wonder about the pain I get inside
Everytime you're not by my side
You have opened a door
I have never felt this way before
And I want more I don't know....
I don't know what it is....
When we are walking I get to hold
Your hand And that is making me
Proud, I'm screaming out loud
I, I am a happy man
And when we are looking up on a
Clear blue shy You give me a kiss, I
Wonder who is THIS LUCKY GUY...
<@#Bosson_I_Can_Feel_Love.txt#@>
(I feel love)
I couldn't believe, it happened to me
You knocked me away
So close to my heart, don't know who you are
So sudden but maybe too far
How could I believe it
Finding us here where we are
I still don't know who you are
I can feel love, I can feel love in your eyes
I'm finding my way to your heart
I can feel love in my mind
And it doesn't matter whatever you're saying
In everything you show me I feel love
So much I have seen, so far I have been
But never so close
So deep in my soul, so much I've been told
That love is a heartbreaking game
How can I believe it
Finding us here where we are
I've never been so far
I can feel love.I can feel love in your eyes
I'm finding my way to your heart
I can feel love in my mind
And it doesn't matter whatever you're saying
In everything you show me I feel love
And I know deep in my heart
Nothing could ever bring me down
When you feel love, you know who you are
It's moving you on and on
I can feel love.I can feel love in your eyes
I'm finding my way to your heart
I can feel love in my mind
And it doesn't matter whatever you're saying
In everything you show me I feel love

Lyrics:bosson, music: bosson
Going down to the water, some time alone
Some time for my heart and soul
When I think of the moment, you shed a tear
And said I deserve much more
You must try to put some faith in yourself
I swear to God you are the best a man can get
Now and forever
Chorus:
I love you, I love you, I love you and I'll show you that it's true
I'm crazy about you
I love you, I love you, I love you and you know that it's true
I'm crazy about you
Baby I love you
We can find a solution, I know it's hard
You have to go back in time
But when you trust your emotions, then let me in
I'll give you this heart of mine
You must try to put some faith in yourself
I swear to God you are the best a man can get
Now and forever
Chorus
When you wake up in the morning, I love you
When you come home in the evening, I want you
When you are angry and shouting, I need you
When I find you with another, I love you

Is it love, is it love that I feel
Is this the love people talk about
Is it love, is it love that I feel
Is this the love that we used to dream about
Is it love...
I'm standing alone, in a bright cold December night
I'm counting the stars, while I wait, here for you my lady
They say we're meant for each other
That it's too good to be true
I take a little time to discover
My body's aching for you
Chorus
I'm starting to walk, heading home, is it over now
Then you're calling my name, I reach out
Though it hurts so baby
They say we're meant for each other
That it's too good to be true
I take a little time to discover
My body's aching for you
Chorus
Can someone explain why I feel
This burning pain inside, it tears me apart
Makes me weak but I can't resist

It's a bit hard to take
But all good things must end
Y' know it's sad but it's true
I know my heart will ache
And it will take time to mend
But it's something I've got to do
Cause I owe it all to you
(Chorus)
It's not over yet
It's a new beginning
I just gotta say I'm grateful for the time we've had
It's not over yet
It's a brand new start
All I need to say is thank you
From the bottom of my heart
I need some time alone
A little moment of silence
So I can figure out where to go
Don't know what comes and that's the beauty of tomorrow
There's so many things to find
All I need is time
It's not over yet
It's a new beginning
I just gotta say I'm grateful for the time we've had
It's not over yet
It's a brand new start
All I need to say is thank you
From the bottom of my heart
I take a long last look around
Every moment, every sound
It's all been worth fighting for
Just because we close the door
Doesn't mean it's over yet
It's a new beginning
And I just gotta say I'm grateful for the time we've had
It's not over yet
It's a brand new start
I just go to say im grateful
For each and every day
It's not over yet (For each and every day)
It's a new beginning (For each and every day)
I just gotta say Im grateful for the time we've had (The time we've had)
It's not over yet
It's a new beginning (The time we've had)
All I need to say is thank you
From the bottom of my heart
From the bottom of my heart

You opened my eyes
You make me believe
That there is a chance for a guy like me.
You opened my eyes
To a whole new world for me.
Baby don't you know
That all I wanted was to be by your side
To find a way to the light through the dark.
You saw the man that I was deep inside... ah huh...
There's a voice,
That was screamin' inside of my head
But I was quiet and peaceful instead.
Yes I have learnt from the things that you said... ah huh...
[Chorus]
You opened my eyes
You make me believe
That there is a chance for a guy like me.
You opened my eyes,
You showed me someone that no one else can see.
You opened my eyes
You bring me the sun.
You make me believe I am someone.
You opened my eyes
To a whole new world for me.
I was lost,
I was scared I was losing my mind.
Running away from myself all the time,
Coz there was something I was waiting to find... ah huh...
There you were, coz God has sent me an angel from above.
You gave me strength, and you showed me how to love,
For that, I'm thankful for the rest of my life... ah huh...
You opened my eyes
You make me believe
That there is a chance for a guy like me.
You opened my eyes,
You showed me someone that no one else can see.
You opened my eyes
You bring me the sun,
You make me believe I am someone.
You opened my eyes,
To a whole new world for me.
Now you're gone
And though it hurts to know you're with someone new,
You know I always wanted the best for you.
You deserve to get the best in life too,
I'm grateful for the time with you...
Oooh...
You opened my eyes
You make me believe
That there is a chance for a guy like me.
You opened my eyes
You showed me someone that no one else can see.
You opened my eyes
You bring me the sun,
You make me believe I am someone.
You opened my eyes
To a whole new world for me.
You opened my eyes...
You opened my eyes...
You opened my eyes...
You opened my eyes...
<@#Bread_Aubrey.txt#@>
And Aubrey was her name,
A not so very ordinary girl or name.
But who's to blame?
For a love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.
And Aubrey was her name.
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was June.
No it never came around.
If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,
But God I miss the girl,
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me.
And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best.
But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.

Kindness is a virtue
Come on now babe
It won't hurt you to be
A victim of kindness
No more hesitations
We don't need no
Explanations this time
We'll leave them behind us
While you play the martyr
You know you just
make it harder for us
To love one another
So much indecision
That don't mean you
Got religion I think
You're gonna discover
Be kind to me

Daughter, don't give your love to the first man you see.
Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one,
Girl you don't have to run.
Daughter, don't think that love has gone out of style,
Just some folks every once in a while don't understand
How this world was planned.
Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is comin' your way,
When you live for him and not you
You'll know that it's truly comin' to stay.
Daughter, I know it's hard to make yourself wait,
But when the right man comes it's never too late
So don't you cry ,
He'll be here by and by, and steal your heart away.
<@#Bread_Dismal_Day.txt#@>
Dismal Day
I look into my morning mirror
And it reveals some things to me that I had not been able to see
I saw someone that I'm not sure I want to be
An empty lonely face was starin' back at me
All and all, I would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day
The afternoon was slow in coming
I drug myself outside the people that I knew would be there
And though they walked along pretending not to care
I knew behind my back they'd point and laugh and stare
CHORUS
And now the evening shadow's falling
I guess it's best I lay my hopes to rest for no one's calling my name
I sit and wait behind a door that's never knocked on
I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on
CHORUS
<@#Bread_Hold_Tight.txt#@>
Hold tight
I want to dance with you this whole night
I hope the music never slows up
I hope this place don't never close up
Hold tight
Cause you're the only one who feels right
Girl I know it's now or never
I want to dance with you forever
So hold on tight, never let me go, baby
Cause I can feel the rhythm of your love
And when you get yourself in motion
Girl it's tearing my emotions right in two
Hold tight
And we will dance into the moonlight
All the stars they will surround us
We will be so glad we found us
So hold on tight, never let me go, baby
Cause I can feel the rhythm of your love
And when you get yourself in motion
I get loving notions all for you, yes I do
Hold tight
And we will dance into the moonlight
I hope the music never slows up
I hope tomorrow never shows up

<@#Bread_The_Last_Time.txt#@>
Hey, didn't you believe me when I told you I was leaving?
Well, wait a little while and soon you will be believing
I'm telling you now like I told you before
That love has got to be something more
Than a pastime, this is the last time
[Chorus]
This is the last time that I will say goodbye
You say it doesn't mean a thing
Let's see what the future brings
In the past, I've changed my mind, but
This has got to be the last time
Well, didn't you believe it when I said you don't know how to love me?
You, you never understood that you weren't so high above me
I didn't realize 'til a moment ago
That time doesn't really go this slow
And it's past time, this is the last time
[Chorus]
What you gonna do when nights are getting colder, baby?
Where ya gonna go, you know you're getting older, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to be a little bolder, baby
What you gonna do to satisfy your hunger, baby?
Oh, don't it seem that everyone's a-getting younger, baby?
Guess you're gonna have to find yourself another pastime
Judging from the past, I know it won't be the last time
[Chorus]

I saw him standin' there
In the parkin' lot
He asked if I
Came here a lot
And this is how
I responded
[Chorus]
I forgot my name
I forgot my telephone number
If he wanna see me
He don't even know it
I forgot my address
Damsel in distress
I forgot my boyfriend
Was the one who had bought me this rock
I get amnesia
When I'm standin' next to you-ou-ou
He's been with me for several years
I know this much is true
Didn't know it was over
'Till you came on over
And told me that you just, just can't
Forget about me
I talk to my girls
I can talk to my girls like crazy
To anyone, I speak my mind
I tell them mother don't phase me
I'm not lazy
But boy, lately
When I see you, I stu-utter
Watch you slip away like butterflies
I saw you standin' there
In the VIP on Friday
We conversate up in my
Fantasies like, every day
But I'm a dud
Whenever you approach
Like yesterday when you just
Came to say hello
[Chorus]
I get amnesia
When I'm standin' next to you-ou-ou
He's been with me for several years
I know this much is true
Didn't know it was over
'Till you came on over
And told me that you just, just can't
Forget about me
Me
Me
This is how I do
I talk to most guys
I can talk to most guys like crazy
To anyone, I'll speak my mind
I tell them mother don't phase me
But you shake me
Boy, you make me
St-o-o-o-op and stutter
When we touch, I melt like butter
I saw you standin' there
In the VIP on Saturday
Now that I know you got a
Thing for me, I should be straight
Not the kinda girl who'll just let
Any guy get close
I like him so I'm gon' tell my guy
He should just effin' go
[Chorus]
I get amnesia
When I'm standin' next to you-ou-ou
He's been with me for several years
I know this much is true
Didn't know it was over
'Till you came on over
And told me that you just, just can't
Forget about me
Me
Me
This is how I do
<@#Britney_Spears_Autumn_Goodbye.txt#@>
[Chorus]
I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldn't make me cry
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye.
Thinking of you
And the love of our lives
In the sweet summertime
so sad but true (so true, so true)
We must leave it behind in our heart in our mind.
From April through September
Bittersweet was the love that we shared don't forget I remember
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Memories can make (they can make)
But my heart has a place for the smile on your face
And maybe someday (someday)
We can be more than friends love will find us again.
Red leaves and blue tomorrows
Time will give back the love that we shared on the time that we borrowed
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
From April through September
Bittersweet was the love that we shared don't forget I remember
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
We leave behind, the sum my time, our hearts our minds
They will remind, we won't forget
The day we met
The day we cried ooh
Autumn goodbye
[Chorus]
<@#Britney_Spears_Born_To_Make_You_Happy.txt#@>
I'm sitting here alone up In my room
Thinking about the times that we've been through (oh my love)
I'm looking at a picture In my hand
Trying my best to understand
I really want to know what we did wrong
With the love that felt so strong
If only you were here tonight
I know that we could make It right
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
'Cause your the only one within my heart
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
I know I've been a fool since you've been gone
I'd rather give It up then carry on (oh my love)
'Cause livin In a dream of you and me
Is not the way my life should be
I don't want to cry a tear for you
So forgive me If I do
If only you were here tonight
I know that we could make It right
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
'Cause your the only one within my heart
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
I'd do anything
I'd give you my world
I'd wait forever to be your girl
Just call out my name (just call out my name)
I will be there (and I will be there)
Just to show you how much I care
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
'Cause your the only one within my heart
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy

Make the world want you (giggle)
Tell your boys you'll be back

There's a girl in the mirror
I wonder who she is
Sometimes I think I know her
Sometimes I really wish I did
There's a story in her eyes
Lullabies and goodbyes
When she's looking back at me
I can tell her heart is broken easily
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
Something I could do
If I could
I would tell her
Not to be afraid
The pain that she's feeling
The sense of loneliness will fade
So dry your tears and rest assured
Love will find you like before
When she's looking back at me
I know nothing really works that easily
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying in tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright

Early morning

I was shaking my ass in the streets alone and
Just walked in and it's early mornin'
Bump, bump till the break of dawn
And it don't stop till the early mornin'
Passed out on the couch and yawnin'
Just walked in and it's early mornin'
Bump, bump till the break of dawn
And it don't stop till the early mornin'
Met a tall dude, kinda dark hair
When he walked up somebody grabbed him
But I liked him told him come here
Kinda cool
Baby, we can make plans
Where ya live
Do ya mama live there
We can hook up at the hotel
Hands down so I told him, let's go
But have a next guess
But you don't wanna know
I was shaking my ass in the streets alone and
Just walked in and it's early mornin'
Bump, bump till the break of dawn
And it don't stop till the early mornin'
Passed out on the couch and yawnin'
Just walked in and it's early mornin'
Bump, bump till the break of dawn
And it don't stop till the early mornin'
Oh, in love
So I approached him
We gotta give him his friends
There's something 'bout him that shows
So I said, what the hell, let's go
Got up, got on the dance floor
Hooked up with a guy named Joe
When the music was fast and slow
But have a next guess
But you don't wanna know
I was shaking my ass in the streets alone and
Just walked in and it's early mornin'
Bump, bump till the break of dawn
And it don't stop till the early mornin'
Passed out on the couch and yawnin'
Just walked in and it's early mornin'
Bump, bump till the break of dawn
And it don't stop till the early mornin'
Call all your boys
Call all your girls
Call all your friends
Let's do it again
Let's do it again
Yes
Early morning
Yes
Can't keep doin' this
I light your fire
Your one desire
Pull on me, baby
And I'll take you higher
You should try her
So come over here and let's go so (woah woah)
Ii was shaking my ass in the streets alone and
Just walked in and it's early mornin'
Bump, bump till the break of dawn
And it don't stop till the early mornin'
Passed out on the couch and yawnin'
Just walked in and it's early mornin'
Bump, bump till the break of dawn
And it don't stop till the early mornin'
Call all your boys
Call all your girls
Call all your friends
Let's do it again
Let's do it
Early mornin'
Early mornin'
<@#Britney_Spears_My_Only_Wish.txt#@>
Oh yeah yeah...
Last night I took a walk in the snow,
Couples holdin hands, places to go,
Seems like everyone but me is in love
Santa can you hear me?
I signed my letter that I sealed with kiss,
I sent it off, it just said this:
"i know exactly what I want this year"
Santa can you hear me?
I want my baby, baby
I want someone to love me, someone to hold,
Maybe maybe,
He'll be all my own in a big red bow
Santa can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing,
Tell me my true love is here
He's all I want, just for me
Underneath my christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa that's my only wish this year
Yeahh...
Christmas eve, I just can't sleep
Would I be wrong for takin a peek
'cause I heard that you're comin to town
Santa can you hear me?
I really hope that you're on your way
With something special for me in your sleigh
Oh please make my wish come true,
Santa can you hear me?
I want my baby, baby
I want someone to love me, someone to hold
Baby, baby, baby
We'll be all alone under the mistletoe
Santa can you hear me?
I have been so good this year,
All I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is here
He's all I want, just for me
Underneath my christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa that's my only wish this year
I hope my letter reaches you in time, (oh yeah)
Bring me love I can call all mine (oh yeah)

Can't be alone under the mistletoe,
He's all I want in a big red bow.
Santa can you hear me?

Underneath my christmas tree

Outrageous, when I move my body.
Outrageous, when I'm at a party.
Outrageous, in my sexy jeans.
Outrageous, when I'm on the scene.
Outrageous, my sex drive.
Outrageous, my shopping spree.
Outrageous, we on a world tour
Outrageous, let's be it girl!
Outrageous
Sexy as I want to be.
Got these fellas chasing me.
It's 'bout time I hit the streets.
All my girls still feelin' me
B-girl ain't lost the beat.
Jumped over drama and I landed on my feet.
Gotta keep going, no stopping me
And if you don't like it then
La la la la la la la
Media over here
Come through like a world premiere.
Trench coat and my underwear
Let's go with this freak show, it's?
[Chorus]
Outrageous
Ding ding ding
Ding ding ding ding ding
I'm about to bring the heat
Locking down the industry
All dressed up and glamorous
Red carpet and cameras
Take trips around the globe
Rims on my Jeep, so nobody knows
So hot that you're coming out your clothes
I'm about to give it to ya
Media over here
Come through like a world premiere.
Trench coat and my underwear
Let's go with this freak show, it's?
[Chorus]

I just want to be happy
In a place where love is free
Can you take me there somebody?
Oh, and when you mention my name
Make you sure you know the truth
Until I'm about to keep it forever

<@#Britney_Spears_Pleasure_You.txt#@>
Yeah
Yeah
Would you rather I dim the lights
Would you prefer, just like we were
Or shall I undress for you (What do you want me to do)
However may I pleasure you
Fill with bubbles
Warm you a bath
Lay back relax
Anything you ask
Let me release the stress for you
However may I pleasure you
You're so perfect
That I get nervous
Tonight I'm at your service
I'm so unselfish
And though I am helpless, whatever brings you pleasure
You're the reason I need
And all that I have to give
Is all I ever wanna do
Is whatever pleasures you
And if it takes me all night
Or for the rest of my life
I'll spend forever breaking through
Do whatever just to pleasure you
Hey Britney, it's Don Phillip
Any fantasy can occur
Will be observed
Just say the word
I'll do it if you want me to
Whatever just to pleasure you
If you wanna get off from that
Lay on your back
I got the max
Certainly I'll pull you through
Whatever just to pleasure you
You're so perfect
That I get nervous
Tonight I'm at your service
I'm so unselfish
And though I am helpless, whatever brings you pleasure
You're the reason I need
And all that I have to give
Is all I ever wanna do
Is whatever pleasures you
And if it takes me all night
Or for the rest of my life
I'll spend forever breaking through
Do whatever just to pleasure you
If I

As long as you ask me too (what do you want me to do)
You're the reason I need
And all that I have to give
Is all I ever wanna do
Is whatever pleasures you
And if it takes me all night

Do whatever just to pleasure you
You're the reason I need

<@#Bruce_Springsteen_Born_To_Run.txt#@>
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway nine,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
H-Oh, Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Yes, girl we were
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands 'cross my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
H-Oh, Will you walk with me out on the wire
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
Babe I want to know if love is real
Oh, can you show me
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
In an everlasting kiss
One, two, three, four!
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
But there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
H-Oh, Someday girl I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really wanna go
And we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
Oh honey, tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
Come on Wendy, tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
<@#Bruce_Springsteen_Chimes_Of_Freedom_-_At_Stockholm,_Sweden.txt#@>
Well, far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sound
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom crashing
Yeah, flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Well, in the city's melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
With faces hidden here while the walls were tightening
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain
Dissolved into the wild bales of lightning
Yeah, tolling for the rebel, yeah, tolling for the rake
Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaken
Yeah tolling for the outcast, burning constantly at stake
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Alright now
And then through a cloud like curtain in a far off corner flashed
As the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Well, electric light still struck like arrows
Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Well, tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
And for each un-harmful gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Well, starry-eyed and laughing, I recall when we were caught
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
As we listened one last time and we watched with one last look
Spellbound and swallowed as the tolling ended
Yeah, tolling for the aching ones whose wounds
Cannot be nursed for the countless confused
Accused, misused, strung out ones and worse
And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
(Yeah)
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Alright, now, whoa, whoa, whoa
Well, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Well, whoa, whoa, whoa
Well, whoa, whoa, whoa

But for you I will, for you I will
If I'm a fool, I'll be a fool
Darlin' for you
I'm countin' on a miracle
Baby I'm countin' on a miracle
Darlin' I'm countin' on miracle
To come through
There ain't no storybook story
There's no never-ending song
Our happily ever after Darlin'
Forever come and gone

If I'm gonna believe
I'll put my faith
Darlin' in you
I'm countin' on a miracle
Baby I'm countin' on a miracle
Darlin' I'm countin' on miracle
To come through
Sleeping beauty awakes from her dream
With her lover's kiss on her lips
Your kiss was taken from me
Now all I have is this...
Your kiss, your kiss, your touch, your touch
Your heart, your heart, your strength, your strength
Your hope, your hope, your faith, your faith
Your face, your face, your love, your love
Your dream, your dream, your life, your life
I'm runnin' through the forest
With the wolf at my heels
My king is lost at midnight
When the tower bells peal
We've got no fairytale ending
In God's hands our fate is complete
Your heaven's here in my heart
Our love's this dust beneath my feet
Just this dust beneath my feet
If I'm gonna live
I'll lift my life
Darlin' to you
I'm countin' on a miracle
Baby I'm countin' on a miracle
Darlin' I'm countin' on miracle

Cynthia, when you come walkin' by you're an inspiring sight
Cynthia, you don't smile or say hi but baby that's alright
'Cause I don't need to hold you or taste your kiss
I just like knowin', Cynthia, you exist
in a world like this
Cynthia, when you pass it seems like this whole town drops
Cynthia, or maybe it's just me, baby, and these fools stuck here punchin' this
clock
Well you give us a reason to stop just for a while
Stop, stand and salute your style
Well now you ain't the finest thing I'll never have
And when you go the hurt you leave, baby, it ain't so bad
There ain't a man in this whole town who'd say you ain't fine
You hear them guys talkin', tell me baby do you mind
Well you make us happy, honey, when we feel sad
To see something so good in a world gone bad
There's still Cynthia
Cynthia, no one knows your number, no one knows where you live
Cynthia, I wonder do you understand this strange thing you give
Well baby is it your style, the mystery in your smile
Or just how cool you walk in a world gone wild
Tell me if you will, Cynthia
Well I gotta be pretty naive to believe in you
I know you ain't ever gonna be my dream come true
That's alright, I got other dreams as good as you, Cynthia
Yeah now baby, now this ain't no come-on

<@#Bruce_Springsteen_Evacuation_Of_The_West.txt#@>
It was on the day the cowboys were abandoned from the ranch
Middle touch world as a master
They rode their ponies down in the cities of gold
To leave them for ever after
Now the sun was swollen red and old
The earth it was windy, dark and cold
Were the highway ends the desert takes its toll
Sodusty, red and angry
It was a time when men died out on the praire
From not having a decent friend
At nights the ghosts to the more of riders
Was a howl in the candid winds
You can here them crying
Good god, I think they're dying
When them rangers down in dallas
Had all, but given it up and left
And those that hang on hoping
Was trying their best to, to forget
The way those outlaws and desperadoes
Right from the cheapest to the best
Rode in on ponies made of skin and bones
Keep up their rusty guns and went back home
And the governor was sent down from population control
And marshall all was past
Riverboat gamblers put their money on faith
For the time for hope they passed
In the cold blue light of the desert night
There was a thousand starry ships
And men came down from still I don't now where
With death on their fingertips
Now there's no more kings in texas
I swear they rounded up each and everyone
And old atlanta canastoga
Reached from the rocky mountains into the old dead sun
Now anna maria walks the blames alone
The last of a struggling people
She thinks of all those outlaws who wanted to reach for the skies
And got stuck up on a steamboat
Oh, you can hear them crying
Good god, I think they're dying
In the wind you can hear them sighing

Well ya know when you're young,
There's such a distance between you and your family.
Just can't see things from the same point of view.
Papa wants a lawyer and mama she wants an author,
And all you want is for them to want you.
Well, I saw lot of bad signs and we had some real bad timesback on the east
coast.
And I guess you could say it took california to bring us close.
There was a lot of hard livin' and some stone cold women on the east coast.
And I saw my papa turn away when I need him the most.
And california, she's an angel.
Lo, so heavenly dressed
And the pacific she's a woman
The lord must have loved her best.
I got a california rainbow to come give them thunder clouds a rest
And the mountain is my friend now, she put me to her test
Well you know every father has dreams and schemes for his own kid.
And dreaming it ain't been declaired no capital crime
But I just hope when I grow up to have my own kids
I'll love them all I can and let 'em make their own minds
Now you know how a mother can hold the son through understanding.
And my father he once held me close by crying.
Whoa, and my mama's love it don't ever leave me standing.
And papa's love it just leaves me smiling.
Whoa, and my mama she's a rainbow,
Gotta see hen on sunday when she's dressed
Whoa, and my papa he's a good man, he gives me and mama his best.
Whoa, my mama she's a rainbow, come to give them thunder clouds a rest.
And my family is my friend now california put us through her test.

Where he had often been before
He took Miss Mousie on his knee
Said "Miss Mousie will you marry me"
I'll have to ask my Uncle Rat
See what he will say to that
Well, Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides
To think his niece would be a bride
Well, Uncle Rat rode off to town
To buy his niece a wedding gown
Where will the wedding supper be
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
What will the wedding supper be
A fried misquito and a roasted flea
First to come in were to little ants
Fixing around to have a dance
Next to come in was a bumble bee
Bouncing a fiddle on his knee
Next to come in was a fat sassy lad
Thinks himself as big as his dad
Thinks himself a man indeed
Because he chews the tobacco weed
And next to come in was a big tomcat

Where those broken hearted lovers
Cry away their gloom, oh!

They been so long on lonely street
They ain't never comin' back

In the early spring
I love to see the message of love
That the bluebird brings
But when I see you walkin' with him
Down along the strand
I wish I were blind
When I see you with your man
I love to see your hair shining
In the long summer's light
I love to watch the stars fill the sky
On a summer night
The music plays you take his hand
I watch how you touch him as you start to dance
And I wish I were blind
When I see you with your man
We struggle here but all our love's in vain
And these eyes that once filled me with your beauty
Now fill me with pain
And the light that once entered here
Is banished from me
And this darkness is all baby that my heart sees
And though the world is filled
With the grace and beauty of God's hand
Oh I wish I were blind
When I see you with your man

Well Jesus was an only son
As he walked up Calvary Hill
His mother Mary walking beside him
In the path where his blood spilled
Jesus was an only son
In the hills of Nazareth
As he lay reading the Psalms of David
At his mother's feet
A mother prays, "Sleep tight, my child, sleep well
For I'll be at your side
That no shadow, no darkness, no tolling bell,
Shall pierce your dreams this night."
In the garden at Gethsemane
He prayed for the life he'd never live,
He beseeched his Heavenly Father to remove
The cup of death from his lips
Now there's a loss that can never be replaced,
A destination that can never be reached,
A light you'll never find in another's face,
A sea whose distance cannot be breached
Well Jesus kissed his mother's hands
Whispered, "Mother, still your tears,
For remember the soul of the universe
Willed a world and it appeared."

[Chorus]
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The kids asleep in the backseat
We're just countin' the miles you and me
We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore
We just stack the bodies outside the door
The wise men were all fools
What to do
The sun sets in flames as the city burns
Another day gone down as the night turns
And I hold you here in my heart
As things fall apart
A downtown window flushed with light
Faces of the dead at five (faces of the dead at five)
A martyr's silent eyes
Petition the drivers as we pass by
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Darlin' your tyrants and kings form the same fate
Strung up at your city gates
And you're the last to die for a mistake

I was driving through my hometown
I was just kinda killin' time
When I seen a face staring out of a black velvet painting
From the window of the five and dime
I couldn't quite recall the name
But the pose looked familiar to me
So I asked the salesgirl "Who was that man
Between the doberman and Bruce Lee?"
She said "Just a local hero"
"Local hero" she said with a smile
"Yeah a local hero he used to live here for a while"
I met a stranger dressed in black
At the train station
He said "Son your soul can be saved"
There's beautiful women nights of low livin'
And some dangerous money to be made
There's a big town 'cross the whiskey line
And if we turn the right cards up
They make us boss the devil pays off
And them folks that are real hard up
They get their local hero
Somebody with the right style
They get their local hero
Somebody with just the right smile
Well I learned my job I learned it well
Fit myself with religion and a story to tell
First they made me the king then they made me pope
Then they brought the rope
I woke to a gypsy girl sayin' "Drink this"
Well my hands had lost all sensation
These days I'm feeling all right
'Cept I can't tell my courage from my desperation
From the tainted chalice
Well I drunk some heady wine
Tonight I'm layin' here
But there's something in my ear
Sayin' there's a little town just beneath the floodline
Needs a local hero
Somebody with the right style
Lookin' for a local hero
Someone with the right smile
Local hero local hero she said with a smile
Local hero he used to live here for a while

Live performance
Well, I dreamed I was a gypsy riding the land
With a tambourine and a gypsy queen
And a rainbow caravan
Happy old land sailor, yeah, that's what I want to be
Stealing diamonds from the rich men to throw in the sea
Singing look toward the land
'cause the land holds the key
Keep an eye on the land
And an eye on man
Well, I dreamed I was a cabin boy
On an American Clipper line
Watering flowers for the captain
That they may not wilt
Bringing cargo to colonies of South Caroline
On the best ol' Clipper Dave Mckay ever built
Singing look toward the land
'cause the land is the key
Singing keep an eye on the land
And an eye on the sea
Well, I dreamed I was your lover
'Cause that's what I want to be
And I dreamed that every night you dreamed only of me
And we walked along the beach, and ooh, we held hands
And I told you you were my only woman
And I was your only man
Singing look toward the lovers
For they are the key
Keep an eye on the lovers
And an eye on the war machine
Yes I dreamed I was a captain of a river queen
Caressing Mississippi waters down to New Orleans
Yeah, a happy ol' riverboat captain, that's what I'd like to be
And I'd let you ride my honey, I'd let you ride her for free
Singing look toward the river
'Cause the river's the key
Keep an eye on the river
And an eye on the sea
Well, I dreamed I was your friend
'Cause that's what I want to be
And every night, you had dreams
And they were all of me
We'd walk all the streets together
Hand in hand
And be kind to the women
And the women be kind to the me
<@#Bruce_Springsteen_Lucky_Man.txt#@>
Running down the highway half past eleven
Waitin' for my odometer to roll straight sevens
I'm a lucky man
I went to see the gypsy the other night
She looked in my palm looked me in the eye
Said you're a lucky man
Some folks got fortune some got eyes of blue
What you got will always see you through
You're a lucky man
Pa went from the army to the factory to the killing yard
I make my living with my hands behind the wheel of this car
I'm a lucky man
Messin' with me man wouldn't be wise
Roll them dice son - ah snake eyes
I'm a lucky man
Had a girl in Calgary I gave her up
Man that love thing was messin' with my luck
I'm a lucky man
I'll wake up tomorrow morning in another state
Kiss me now baby before it's too late
If you want to kiss a lucky man
I don't miss no girl I don't miss no home
He travels fastest who travels alone
He's a lucky man
A man with the world in the palm of his hands
<@#Bruce_Springsteen_Magic.txt#@>
I got a coin in your palm
I can make it disappear
I got a card up my sleeve
Name it and I'll pull it out your ear
I got a rabbit in the hat
If you wanna come and see
This is what will be
This is what will be
I got shackles on my wrists
Soon I'll slip and I'll be gone
Chain me in a box in the river
And rising in the sun
Trust none of what you hear
And less of what you see
This is what will be (This is what will be)
This is what will be
(I'll cut you in half)
I got a shiny saw blade (a shiny saw blade)
All I need's a volunteer
I'll cut you in half
While you're smilin' ear to ear
And the freedom that you sought
Driftin' like a ghost amongst the trees
This is what will be
This is what will be (This is what will be)
Now there's a fire down below
But it's coming up here
So leave everything you know
Carry only what you fear
On the road the sun is sinkin' low
Bodies hanging in the trees
This is what will be (This is what will be)
This is what will be

Here comes a fireman, here comes a cop
Here comes a wrench, here comes a car hop
Been going on forever, it ain't ever gonna stop
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
[Chorus]
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Aim your gun, son, and shoot your shot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
One thing in common they all got
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
[Chorus]
Man at the top says it's lonely up there
If it is man, I don't care
From the big white house to the parking lot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Here comes a banker, here comes a businessman
Here comes a kid with a guitar in his hand
Dreaming of his record in number-one spot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
[Chorus]

Well you can go out with him
Play with all of his toys
But takin' care of you darlin'
Ain't for one of the boys
Oh there's somethin' in your soul
That he's gonna rob
And lovin' you baby lovin' you darlin'
Lovin' you woman is a man's man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job baby
Lovin' you's a man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job baby
Lovin' you's a man's job
Well now his kisses may thrill
Those other girls that he likes
But when it comes to treatin'
A real woman right
Well of all of his tricks
No they won't be enough
'Cause lovin' you baby lovin' you woman
Lovin' you darlin' is a man's man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job baby
Lovin' you's a man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job baby
Lovin' you's a man's job
You're dancin' with him he's holding you tight
I'm standing here waitin' to catch your eye
Your hand's on his neck as the music sways
All my illusions slip away
Now if you're lookin' for a hero
Someone to save the day
Well darlin' my feet
They're made of clay
But I've got something in my soul
And I want to give it up
But gettin' up the nerve
Gettin' up the nerve
Gettin' up the nerve is a man's man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job baby
Lovin' you's a man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job woman
Lovin' you's a man's job

There's a place out on the edge of town, sir,
Risin' above the factories and the fields
Now, ever since I was a child, I can remember
That mansion on the hill
In the day you can see the children playing
On the road that leads to those gates of hardened steel
Steel gates that completely surround, sir,
The mansion on the hill
At night my daddy'd take me and we'd ride
Through the streets of a town so silent and still
Park on a back road along the highway side
Look up at that mansion on the hill
In the summer all the lights would shine
There'd be music playin', people laughin' all the time
Me and my sister, we'd hide out in the tall cornfields
Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill
Tonight down here in Linden Town
I watch the cars rushin' by, home from the mill
There's a beautiful full moon rising
Above the mansion on the hill

I got seven pictures of Buddha
The prophet's on my tongue
Eleven angels of mercy
Sighin' over that black hole in the sun
My heart's dark but it's risin'
I'm pullin' all the faith I can see
From that black hole on the horizon
I hear your voice calling me
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Tell me how do we get this thing started
Meet me at Mary's place
Familiar faces around me
Laughter fills the air
Your loving grace surrounds me
Everybody's here
Furniture's out on the front porch
Music's up loud
I dream of you in my arms
I lose myself in the crowd
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Tell me how do you live broken-hearted
Meet me at Mary's place
I got a picture of you in my locket
I keep it close to my heart
It's a light shining in my breast
Leading me through the dark
Seven days, seven candles
In my window lighting your way
Your favorite record's on the turntable
I drop the needle and pray (Turn it up)
Band's countin' out midnight (Turn it up)
Floor's rumblin' loud (Turn it up)
Singer's callin' up daylight (Turn it up)
And waitin' for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
Waitin' for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
Waitin' for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
Waitin' for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
Waitin' for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
Waitin' for that shout from the crowd
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Tell me how do we get this thing started

Each year many die crossing the deserts, mountains, and rivers of our southern
border in search of a better life. Here I follow the journey backwards, from
the body at the river bottom, to the man walking across the desert towards the
banks of the Rio Grande.
For two days the river keeps you down
Then you rise to the light without a sound
Past the playgrounds and empty switching yards
The turtles eat the skin from your eyes, so they lay open to the stars
Your clothes give way to the current and river stone
'Till every trace of who you ever were is gone
And the things of the earth they make their claim
That the things of heaven may do the same
Goodbye, my darling, for your love I give God thanks,
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks
Over rivers of stone and ancient ocean beds
I walk on sandals of twine and tire tread
My pockets full of dust, my mouth filled with cool stone
The pale moon opens the earth to its bones
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks
The touch of your loving fingertips
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks
Your sweet memory comes on the evenin' wind
I sleep and dream of holding you in my arms again
The lights of Brownsville, across the river shine
A shout rings out and into the silty red river I dive
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks
A touch of your loving fingertips
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks

It's not a question of love,
Cause our love has never changed.
But all the little things keep piling up,
And life keeps getting in the way.
Don't make this harder than it is,
We both knew it'd come to this.
Better now than in a year,
With lots of tears,
And we both hate each other.
The fuse has already left,
So how about a final kiss?
And just let it go.
Stop the madness,
Before it explodes!
Before it's out of our control.
Let's stop the madness,
Before it explodes!
We gotta let it go,
Before it all explodes.
Some things we won't understand,
And we're both so tired of being misunderstood.
So let's just turn and walk away,
And hold on to what was good.
Don't make this harder than it is,
We both knew it'd come to this.
Better now than in a year,
With lots of tears,
And we both hate eachother.
The fuse has already left,
So how about a final kiss?
And just let it go.
Stop the madness,
Before it explodes!
Before it's out of our control.
Let's stop the madness,
Before it explodes!
We gotta let it go,
Before it all explodes.
Before it explodes!
Before it's out of our control.
Let's stop the madness,
Before it explodes!
We gotta let it go,
Before it all explodes.

I don't recognize my reflection
All I see is a product of your deception
Gave you all of me without question
But you had to take advantage of a blessing
I warned you, I told you it would end this way
If you kept on playing all those childish games
But just like every other man you're all the same
Revenge is sweet I love the taste it's giving me
I'm a killer on the run
You broke my heart and now you're staring at my gun
Click clack now watch me pull this trigger just for fun
Was once a good girl now a killer on the run
K-k-killer, k-k-killer, k-k-killer
K-k-killer on the run
Killer on the run
K-k-killer on the run
Wipe those tears from your eyes it's too late
With that rag in your mouth can't tell what you say
Tied to the train tracks begging me for mercy
This is gonna hurt you more than it hurts me
I warned you, I told you it would end this way
If you kept on playing all those childish games
But just like every other man you're all the same
Revenge is sweet I love the taste it's giving me
I'm a killer on the run
You broke my heart and now you're staring at my gun
Click clack now watch me pull this trigger just for fun

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Uh I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan
Turn the t.v. on
Throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I cant, no
I'll be loungin' on the couch just chillin' in my snuggie
Flip to MTV so they can teach me how to Dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freakin' man
Oh
Yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone

'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo

Tomorrow I'll wake up do some p90x
Meet a really nice girl have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out this is great
I might mess around and get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops you'll just have to wait
Oh

I'm sitting here inside this stranger's place
And time is racing by
I've been way out here for a month or more
Tonight I'm wondering why
You try to understand the things that I feel
Maybe this time I'll find a way to explain it
Cause there is a dream deep inside my head
And it may seem like it's breaking the thread
That holds me to you
Still you have never wanted to change me
But darling I know though we're far apart
The signal is strong
This helpless heart will always belong to you
To you
This power takes me from the place I belong
To where only the strong get through
You've got keep on believing or you'll lose your way
Cause it slips right out of view
Though there are days the light can flicker and fade
Here in this place tonight a fire is burning
Cause there is a dream deep inside my head
And it may seem like it's breaking the thread
That holds me to you
Still you have never wanted to change me
But believe me I know though we're far apart
The signal is strong
This helpless heart will always belong to you
This helpless heart will always belong to you
Will always belong to you
To you
Only to you

Standing in a field of three leaf clovers
Waiting for the rain to pass over
No rainbows, on my shoulder
Just the weight of walking day to day
Nothing shiny coming along the way
Then I saw you and I reached out
(ain't) no more blue, now I understand why
How lucky I am lucky I am
To be the one who fills your eyes
Blowin' away, sails on a lake
Flyin' like a flag in the sky
Bright colored balloons in the wind
That's how lucky I am
(how lucky I am)
Now the road is rising up to meet me
And my half empty cup is filled completely
And I'm drinking that sweet taste of rain
So grateful for each moment I get
To have found you
I could have walked on by
But the stars were on my side
<@#Bryan_White_I_Stand_All_Alone.txt#@>
I know the sound of each rock and stone
And I embrace what others fear
You are not to roam in this forgotten place
Just the likes of me are welcome here
Everything breathes and I know each breath
For me it means life, for others, it's death
It's perfectly in balance, perfectly planned
More than enough for this man
Like every tree, stands on it's own
Reaching for the sky, I stand alone
I share my world with no one else
All by myself, I stand alone
I seen your world with these very eyes
Don't come any closer, don't even try
I've felt all the pain and heard all the lies
But in my world there's no compromise
Like every tree, stands on it's own
Reaching for the sky, I stand alone
I share my world with no one else
All by myself, I stand alone
All by myself, I stand alone
All by myself, I stand alone

Here you are on the back of my mind again
Don't guess it's gonna get any better
Is your memory ever gonna end
Or does it go on forever
I was the one when you left town
Said I'd get along somehow
Didn't take long to find out
That I was wrong
Look at me now
Nothin' but a whole lot of time on my hands
Look at me now
Thought I wouldn't need you
Now I understand
You said I was never gonna learn
Look at me now
I was so busy looking out for myself
I know I must have took you for granted
Didn't want to make room for someone else
Didn't know love when I had it
You were the one who set me free
But you can lay the blame on me
Come my way and you'll see
I have changed
Calling your name in the quiet of the night
Seeing your face every time I close my eyes
It's always the same
I keep hoping that you might
Look at me now
Standing here holding my heart in my hands
Look at me now
Wishing I'd told you we could still start again
What I'd give if you'd turn
And look at me now
Here you are on the back of my mind again
<@#Bryan_White_Thats_Another_Song.txt#@>
I used to sing to her
It used to make her smile
She knew all the words
For a while
I sang love me tender
Always and forever
Hold me baby all night long
I could go on and on
But that's another song
We used to go for walks
On a country road like this
It's funny all the small
Things you miss
Like puttin' pennies on a train track
The way you brushed your hair back
The sun on your face
I wish I were there today
But that's another place
Oh, the way I used to hold her
The things I should've told her
If I could make the clock unwind
Back to when she was mine
But that's another time
Oh, the way I used to hold her

In a world of illusion
Filled with wrong turns
Where so many bridges
Seem destined to burn
The odds are so great
The chances so slim
To find the right her
For just the right him
We're two in a million, exceptions to the rule
I followed my heart and love led me to you
It's a gamble at best, so easy to lose
But the first time we kissed we both knew
We're two in a million
Two who found one love that's true
What some call love
Can be lost overnight
And they find there's a tunnel
At the end of the light
But here in your arms
The only surprise
Is the way love keeps growing
As time passes by

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is a bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?", we'll say, "No man"
But you can do the job, you're in town
When it snows, ain't it thrillin'?
Though, your nose gets a little chilly
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?", we'll say, "No man"
You can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong
to you
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I am determined not to be dented
By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
I'm a dime

And I've waited for her for so long
I have waited for her for so long
I've wondered if I could hang on
I wonder if I could hang on
Let me go she said
Let me go she said
Let me go and I will want you more
Let me go she said let me go
Let me go and I will want you
Let me go she said

Let me go she said let me go

Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go

It's been a long time
Since I've seen your smiling face
It's been a long time
Since I've seen a sunny day
It's been a long time
Since you wore your pillbox hat
It's been a long time
Since we drove your Pontiac
It's been a long time
Since you gave me butterflies
It's been a long time
Since I seen it burning in your eyes
But I don't mind (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
When I've got you next to me
It's been a long time
Since we tripped into this ditch
It's been a long time
Since we drank the a-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-arsenic
It's been a long time
Since we've been inside of this tomb
It's been a long time
Since you wore your expensive French perfume
But I don't mind (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
When I've got you next to me
It's been a long time

I don't want to wonder if this is a blunder
I don't want to worry whether we're going to stay together till we die
I don't want you jumping unless this music's thumping
All the dishes rattle in the cupboards when the elephants arrive
I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
I want to love you madly
I want to love you, love you, love you madly
I don't want to fake it, I just want to make it
The ornaments look pretty but they're pulling down the branches of the tree
I don't want to think about it, I don't want to talk about
When I kiss your lips I want to sink down to the bottom of the sea
I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
I want to love you madly
I want to love you, love you, love you madly
I don't want to hold back, I don't want to slip down
I don't want to think back to the one thing that I know I should have down
I don't want to doubt you, know everything about you
I don't want to sit across the table from you wishing I could run
I want to love madly
I want to love you now
I want to love you madly
I want to love you, love you, love you madly

Than words could ever say
And oh, my dear, I'll be right here
Until my dying day

All the things I feel
I just know that I love you so
And it gives me such a thrill
'Cause I found
What this world is searching for
Here, right here, my dear
I don't have to look no more
And all of my days
I hoped and I prayed
For someone just like you
To make me feel the way you do
I'm never, never gonna give ya up
I'm never, ever gonna stop
Stop the way I feel about you
Girl, I just can't live without you
I'm never ever gonna quit

When the house was standing
You'd never have believed it
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed
The bricks and mortar
Have all given way
At first they resisted but then they began to sway
How can you say forever is at your command
How can you say the future's in the palm
In the palm of your hand
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed it
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed
That gaping hole was once a foundation
Where you stand now were tools in the basement
How can you say forever is at your command
How can you say the future in the palm
In the palm of your hand

Well your CD collection looks shiny and costly.
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzzi?
And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?
Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of.
And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t shirt
That proves you were there
That you heard of them first?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

Ah, tell me.
How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar,
The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar,
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
Aging black leather and hospital bills,

And I'm the one who helps you win.
You've got your grand piano.

I'm the one who plays piano.
You don't even play piano.
You part the waters
The same ones that I'm thirsty for.
You invite your friends to tea
But when it's me you lock the door.
You've got your credit cards
And you thank your lucky stars.

And you don't even play piano.

You have always got to move,
You're always trying to prove that,
There is something new in,
Everything you do.
You are mostly in your car,
You always seem so far,
No matter where you are,
You're thinking of your car,
And everything you say,
Is really just a play,
For you to get your way,
And I found out yesterday,
That no matter what you say,
And no matter what you do,
That you have got to
You have always got to move,
You're racing just to prove that,
There is something new,
In everything you do.
You are mostly on the phone,
You say you're coming home,
You say you're all alone,
But I know you're not alone.
And everything you say,
Is really just a play,
For you to get your way,
And I found out yesterday,
That no matter what you say,
And no matter what you do,
That you have got to move.

Heat's up, tea's brewed
Clothes strewn around the room
Looks like a wind swept through
Made a wild man out of you
And doesn't anger turn you on
And expectation of a calm
After the storm
And your body feels so warm
After the storm
The wind's pulling the moon down
under the eiderdown
You're taking me to town
And you're tossing me around
You come on like a hurricane
I'm settling like you're weathervane
After the storm
And your body feels so warm
After the storm

I know your face
So well
Close my eyes
And see it still
Though time can turn
A heart to stone
Your face will stay
A face I've known
Jake
Some things
Still hurt and how
And God
It's hard
To see you now
Because you
My life a hell
And Jake
I know your face
So well
And it was always
All right there
Why didn't you know
It was all right there
Why couldn't I show you
It was always there
All the love
In the world
All the love
All the love

<@#Carly_Simon_Attitude_Dancing.txt#@>
There's a new kind of dancing
That's going to be the rage
You just leave yourself behind
Like an actor on a stage
Cop a different pose
From the pose you're in
Shine a different attitude
From underneath your skin
Attitude dancing
Strut around the floor in a new attitude
Attitude dancing
Any attitude is the proper attitude
Attitude dancing
Don't be afraid to change your attitude
Attitude dancing
Free up your spirit with a new attitude
It don't even matter
If you stretch or shake
And it don't really matter
What moves your body makes
And it don't really matter
What steps you choose to do
Only one thing matters:
That's your attitude
Your attitude, attitude dancing
Attitude dancing
Strut around the floor in a new attitude
Attitude dancing
Learn to move in another attitude
Attitude dancing
Find the groove in a new attitude
Attitude dancing
Don't be afraid of a new attitude
It don't really matter
What steps you choose to do
The only thing that matters
Is your attitude
Your attitude, attitude dancing
Strut around the floor in a new attitude
Do the locomotion in a new attitude
Do the mashed potato in a new attitude
Do the hully gully in a new attitude
Find a role you like
Capture it and freeze
Then turn it around
A hundred and eighty degrees
Or if you're at a loss
Observe some natural dude
And turn into a mirror of his attitude
Attitude, attitude, attitude
Dancing

I'll take some of this, I'll have some of that
And several more of these
Now that I see it, I know what I like
So I'll like it if you please
I ain't nobody's princess, stuck in Sunday School
So I'll help myself to love
And have the whole career
Don't wrap it up, I'll eat it here
Just look at you now, the ultimate guy
Class and wit and style
Once I might have pretended, to be someone else
Attracting you with guile
But now I'm not about to dress up, in some other woman's shoes
I've got nothing to lose
So I'll help myself to love,
Gather round and cheer
Don't wrap it up, I'll eat it here
I've stood there patiently waiting in line
A take-out man's an O.K. plan
If you've got lots of time
Especially if he's biodegradable
I ain't nobody's princess
I ain't nobody's fool
So I'll help myself to love
There's nothing more to fear
Don't wrap it up, I'll eat it here

Thank you for informing me
That I've been banned from Canada
It comes as no surprise to me
Since last week it was Africa
Since you've been ambassador
There's trouble at the border
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world
It's amusing still it makes me wince
Your face is like a scimitar
When accidentally eye to eye
You shoot a look of vinegar
What could I have done to you
To make you act the way you do
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world
For whatever reason
You would keep me
Halfway 'round the world
I believe it's like some kind of compliment
I must be quite a girl
Quite a girl

Once upon a time you swore you'd love me
'Til the end of the world
Now, nowhere is far enough away for you
I must be quite a girl

It's all of our birthdays this summer
One number older, another year younger
I'll go to your party, you'll come to mine
We've given up cigarettes, we've given up wine
We've given up caffeine and sworn off desserts
I don't try to seduce you, we don't even flirt
We're too good to be happy, too straight to be sad
So just blow out the candles, Happy Birthday
Stay out of the ocean, stay out of the sun
Stay in perfect shape and be number one
We've got brilliant excuses for having no fun
So blow out the candles, Happy Birthday
Make love in the microwave
Think of all the time you'll save
And don't forget to make it look
As though you're working very very hard
But I'll be your lover if you will be mine
We'll go back to the garden and have a good time
And if I'm offered an apple, I'll politely decline
And just blow out the candles
Happy Birthday

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us will be near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hanging a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a Merry little Christmas now
<@#Carly_Simon_Hold_What_Youve_Got.txt#@>
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
'Cause if you think
Nobody else wants it
Just throw it away
And you will see
Somebody else will have it
Before you can count 1-2-3
You take love for granted
And it's gone like a bandit
And this loneliness cuts like a knife
When you see what you've lost
It's already cost
The one you could love your whole life
<@#Carly_Simon_How_Can_You_Ever_Forget.txt#@>
I love you more than the first sunset
The first star I saw I would surely bet
So how could you ever, could you ever forget?
You're here but you're gone
It's in your eyes
Somethings gone wrong
You've stifled your cries
You can't expect that I'll ever forget
All the details of your mind you would tell me through the night
After we'd made love and the way was so open
Now you turn your back to me
As if we'd never spoken
But I still love you more than the first sunset
I swear I caught a shooting star the first time we met
So how could you ever
I know that I'll never
How could you ever, ever forget?
<@#Carly_Simon_Hurt.txt#@>
Hurt to think that you lied to me
Hurt way down deep inside of me
You said your love was true and we'd never part
Now you want someone new and it breaks my heart
I'm hurt much more than you'll ever know
Hurt because I still love you so
But even though you've hurt me like no one else could do
I would never, never hurt you
Hurt to think that you lied to me
Hurt way down deep inside of me
You said your love was true and we'd never part
Now you want someone new and it breaks my heart
I'm hurt much more than you'll ever know
Hurt because I still love you so
But even though you've hurt me like no one else could do
I would never, never hurt you

I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone
I gave my love a chicken
That had no bone
I told my love a story
That had no end
I gave my love a baby
With no crying.
How can there be a cherry
That has no stone?
And how can there be a chicken
That has no bone?
And how can there be a story
That has no end?
And how can there be a baby
With no crying?
A cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin'
It has no bone
The story that I love you
It has no end
A baby when it's sleeping
It's no crying.

In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in the sky
My thoughts fly straight to you
In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Darling, when I say to you
Do you love me as I love you?
Are you my life to be, my dream come true?
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night?
In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Darling, when I say to you
Do you love me as I love you?
Are you my life to be, my dream come true?
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night?

<@#Carly_Simon_It_Was_So_Easy.txt#@>
I remember a time, rompin' through the woods
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat, whn we felt glad we would dance
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze
It was so easy then never takin' any stands
It was so easy then, holdin' hands
I remember a time when our fears could be named
And courage meant not refusing dares
I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks,
No only on the squares
Or else we'd be abducted by the bears
It was so easy then never makin' any plans
It was so easy then, holdin' hands
It was so easy then never makin' any plans
It was so easy then, holdin' hands
And now we are grown, with debts and regrets
And broken hearts and sentimental schemes
Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams
Love can lead a normal woman to extremes
It was so easy once, holdin' hands without a plan
It was so easy once holdin' hands
Just holdin' hands
<@#Carly_Simon_Just_Not_True.txt#@>
You stick to me when I wish you gone
You hammer on my thoughts through dreams
Your plot is thick with saucy schemes
And ways to reach my balconies
But I say I'm not turned on by the way you look
I say I'm not turned on by the way you act
I'm not turned on when you tell me that you need me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes
And you know, It's just not true
You're in my blood, a Holy Ghost
I scream, but it's a hollow plea
The thoughts I swallow leave me thirsty
You do a very fine imitation of me
And I say I'm not turned on by the way you laugh
I'm not turned on by the way you smile
I'm not turned on when you tell me that you love me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes
And you know, it's just not true
And I say I'm not turned on by the way you dance
I'm not turned on my the way you laugh
I'm not turned on when you need me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes
And you know, it's just not true.

Outside the barracks by the corner light
Darling I remember how I'd wait for you at night
There we'd create a world for two, I'd wait for you
The whole night through, was there that you'd whisper tenderly
That you loved me, you'd always be
Be my Lili Marlene, be my Lili Marlene
I'd give you a rose to show I care,
And wind it through your golden hair
Then we would say goodnight and part,
I'll always keep you in my heart
With me Lili Marlene, with me Lili Marlene
My Lili of the lamplight, my own Lili Marlene

I've seen the sidewalks
And I've been aware
Of the lamps and tables and the paperback books
That you throw out there
All your artifacts
In disrepair
Make up a pile so high
Could tie up the traffic in the thoroughfare
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street tonight
I don't mind your sinning
I'm no saint myself
And if the neighbours call you a hellcat
Then let them call me a Jezebel
Cause I've come to know you
I've come to know you so well
From spying on you from my bathroom window
In this cheap hotel
So let flow the hydrants
And we'll dance in the spray
And we'll wash out our dirty laundry
In the alleyway
<@#Carly_Simon_One_Man_Woman.txt#@>
Well it's plain as rain
And it's there for all the world to see
Just 'cause everybody does it
That doesn't make it right for me
Someone is making plans
Involvin' my old man
Everytime I turn by back around
Feelin' like a one man woman
Living in a two time town
Now the place I come from
People don't grow on trees
And you can't treat people like meat
Without getting brought to your knees
Now and then
The way I've been feeling
Since I hit this town
Like to jump in the river and drown
Feeling like a one man woman
Living in a two time town
Sometimes I'd like
To get out on the floor
Shake it till dawn
Some young thing
Like to teach him the bump
Make me want to take him home
Well excuse me
I don't mean to preach no lectures
Yeah but me and my man won't
Be able to stay for breakfast
I guess he's got the itch
And I'm just a bitch
Who's trying to bring him down
Feeling like a one man woman
Acting like a one man woman
I guess I'm just a one man woman

Here come the priests, each one wailing and bemoaning
Lordy, they got their heads bowed down
Here come the madmen, they're too excited for atoning:
"Burn the mosque," they're shouting, "Burn it down!"
Save me a place, surround me with friendly faces
All of us have gathered here to share the end
To watch the world go up in flames
Please, Lord we're not ready
Give us a day
Give us an hour
Here come the kings, Let's dispense with their apologizing
Just bring on the acrobats and clowns
Here comes the rumble, Hang on for universal dying
Please ignore the baying of the hounds
Save me a place, surround me with deadly faces
All of us have gathered here to share the end -
To watch the world go up in flames
Please, Lord we're not ready
Give us some time to work things out
Please, Lord we're not ready

Give us an hour
Please, Lord we're not ready

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
<@#Carpenters_All_Because_Of_You.txt#@>
Every night I get tired eyes
My feet don't reach the ground
Then I'm with you
I get by 'cause I know that you're near me
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you
Every night when the fire flies
The walls come tumblin' down at the Bajou
I get by 'cause I know that you're near me
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you
I'll keep singin' my love song
In my mind I'll sing a song for you
You can see through the music
That's in my mind
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
<@#Carpenters_Baby_Its_You.txt#@>
It's not the way you smile
That touches my heart
It's not the way you kiss
That tears me apart
Many, many nights go by
I sit alone
At home I cry
Over you
What can I do
Can't help myself
'Cause baby it's you
You should hear what they say about you
They say you've never
Never, never been true
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Doesn't matter what they say
I'm gonna love you any old way
What can I do
When it's true
Don't want nobody
'Cause baby it's you
Many, many, many nights go by
I sit alone
At home I cry
Over you
What can I do
Can't help myself
'Cause baby it's you
<@#Carpenters_Goofus.txt#@>
I was born on a farm out in Ioway
A flaming youth who was bound that he'd fly away
I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone
Can't read notes, but I play anything by ear
I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear
When I'd start to play folks used to say
"Sounds a little Goofus to me"
Cornfed chords appeal to me, I like rustic harmony
Hold that note and change the key, that's called "Goofus"
Not according to the rules that you learn at music schools
But the folks just dance like fools, they go "Goofus"
Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long
The leader said that I played all the music wrong
So I stepped out with an outfit of my own
Got together a new kind of orchestree
And we all played just the same "Goofus" harmony
And I must admit we made a hit
<@#Carpenters_Its_Christmas_Time.txt#@>
It's Christmas time and time for a carol
Time to sing about the little King
To fill the bowl and roll out the barrel
Have ourselves a fling
We greet a friend or welcome a stranger
Let him sing or cheer him on his way
And celebrate the child in the manger
Born on Christmas day
Good cheer for you and for me
With pleasure and glee to share
Oh, we're so happy to be together
On Yuletide square
It looks like snow
And falls like snow
Take a moment
Take a look around and say
As snowflakes fall
Merry Christmas to one and all
It's Christmas time and time for a carol
Time to sing about the little King
To fill the bowl and roll out the barrel
Have ourselves a fling
We greet a friend or welcome a stranger
Let him sing or cheer him on his way
And celebrate the child in the manger
Born on Christmas day
Good cheer for you and for me
With pleasure and glee to share
Oh, we're so happy to be together

It looks like snow
And falls like snow
Take a moment
Take a look around and say
As snowflakes fall

Little alter boy, I wonder could you pray for me?
Little alter boy, for I have gone astray
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy, oh, let me hear you pray
Little alter boy, I wonder could you ask your lord
Ask him, alter boy, to take my sins away
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy, oh, let me hear you pray
Lift up your voice and send a prayer above
Help me rejoice and fill that prayer with love
Now I know my life has been all wrong
Lift up your voice and help a sinner be strong
Little alter boy, I wonder could you pray for me?
Could you tell our lord I'm gonna change my ways today?
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy, oh, let me hear you pray
Little alter boy please let me hear you pray

I'm going way down south to Louisiana, tonight
Well, I'll just close my eyes
And everything's alright
And though I'm really far away
I'll make my get away
And no one need really
Know that I've been gone
One more time for the good times
That far out weigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all we had
I'm going way down south to Baton Rouge
Well, I'll just close the door
And turn out all the lights
And all the images dance by
Of folks and friends who lie
Back home where things are slow
And easy going
One more time for the good times
That far out weigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all
When love was all
When love was all we had
One more time
<@#Carpenters_Piano_Picker.txt#@>
Everybody always asks me
How I got to play so fine
And friends, I'm gonna tell ya
It really did take some time
Yes, after years and years of practice
And a case of real bad knees
While the other guys were out playin' with the football
I was home bangin' on the keys
And it got me
Right were I am, this is me
Playing the piano
I hope ya like what I do
It's for you, and I'll try and sing right too
I guess I'm really very lucky
That I've got this thing to play
'Cause it can really make me feel good
Even when it's cloudy and grey
Yes, after years and years of practice
And awful allergies that made me sneeze
And now the other guys are out playin' with their girlfriends
And I was still bangin' on the keys
And it got me
Right where I am, this is me
Playing the piano
I hope ya like what I do
It's for you
And I'll try and sing right too

Silver Bells
Silver Bells
Hear them ring
Silver Bells
City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver Bells
Silver Bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ting-a-ling
Ting-a-ling
Hear them ring
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day
<@#Carpenters_Thats_What_I_Believe.txt#@>
There's always one of the girls that all
The guys dream about
And you hold her in your heart
Imagining how you'll work it out
So you meet her ev'ry place you can devise
'Cause from the start you knew
The one she wants is you
I know it's right when it comes as easy
As apple pie
When you just can't do it wrong
She's going for ev'rything you try
If she chose you over all those other guys
It must be luck or simply fate
But it's sure worth the wait
That's the way I feel about it
And there's no one who should ever doubt it
You can't stop a star
When love is on the rise
That's what I believe
Love could be 'round the corner
All you've got to do is dream
And never compromise
That's what I believe
I found the world in my arms the moment
I lost my heart
And the bond is much too strong for
Anyone else to put apart
So I cherish ev'ry moment that she's near
You see the best things in your lives
If you just close your eyes
That's the way I feel about it
And she maybe out there
Waiting just like you
'Cause at the strangest time and place
You'll find you're face to face
That's the way I feel about it
<@#Carpenters_The_Rainbow_Connection.txt#@>
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that wishes would be heard and answered when wished on the
morningstar?
Someone thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell.
We know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and
me.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and
me.
<@#Carpenters_Top_Of_The_World.txt#@>
Such a feeling is coming over me
There is wonder in 'most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

They brang us up with horns and hollywooden songs
Dead snakes and poisoned wisdoms between our teeth
The evil that's been done still is carrying on
And on this night there'll be no peace
The old leaders' bones still beat on our homes
They built our life before us, we had no choice
The evil that's been done still is carrying on
And when they're gone we'll be the voice
Blue bird on a rock, slow wind blowing soft
Across the bare face of the sleeping lake
Rise up and be free, voice whispered to me
And in this way you will awake
Go climb up on a hill, stand perfectly still
And silently soak up the day
Don't rush and don't you roam, don't feel so alone
And in this way you will awake
And in this way you will awake
And this way you will awake
Pick up the pieces you see before you
Don't let your weaknesses destroy you
You know wherever you go the world will follow
So let your reasons be true to you
Stay close to your friends up until the end
And when they know that you feel the same way
Rise up and be free and die happily
And in this way you will awake
And in this way you will awake
And this way you will awake

I was a child
Who ran full of laughter
I was a child who lived for today
My eyes full of sunshine
My heart full of smiles
I was a child for a day
We were the children
Who sang in the morning
We were the children
Who laughed at the sun
Who listened to those who spoke with their wisdom
We are the ones we would say, but
We're getting older as time goes by
A little older with everyday
We were the children of yesterday
We are the men who worry of nothing
We are the men who fight without aim
We listen to no one, yet speak of our wisdom
We are the pawns in the game
We're getting older as time goes by
A little older with everyday
We were the children of yesterday
I was a child
Who ran full of laughter
I was a child who lived for today
My eyes full of sunshine
My heart full of smiles
I was a child for a day
We're getting older as time goes by
A little older with everyday
We were the children of yesterday

There are no words, I can use
Because the meaning still leaves for you to choose
And I couldn't stand to let them be abused, by you.
Dreams I had just last night
Made me scared, white with fright
But I'm over to that sunnyside road
Over to that sunnyside road
Fortunes come and fortunes go
But things get better babe, that's one thing I know
And I'm over to that Sunnyside road
Over to that Sunnyside road
I have a friend that I have met
Who gives me love and a certain respect
Just a little respect, everybody needs just a little respect
That means you...you...
And in a little while our love will spread
To you
Ain't no matter who inside this world you know
There'll he someone who will love you just for who you are
Really are
Dreams I had just last night
Made me worried to face up to the light
But I'm over to that Sunnyside road
Over to that Sunnyside road
Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on over and find yourself
Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on in and remind yourself
Oh darling, you see my face
But it's in my heart that's where it's taking place
And I couldn't stand to let it go to waste
Can you...
Oh love, sweet blue love
No man can ever get enough
But maybe one day we'll all die in love
Will you...oh love, sweet love, my...love
Oh babe, understand
Take my love that's all I have at hand
Please say you will...don't say you can't
Oh will you will you will you
The moment you walked inside my door
I knew' that I need not look no more
I've seen many other girls before, ah but darling
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment you fell inside my dreams
I realized all I had not seen
I've seen many other girls before, ah hot darling
Heaven must've programmed you
You can live in the largest house
And eleven apartments too
Run your own private plane
And a boat in Malibu
But 'till you know' deep down what inside you really need
Well I love you baby, ooh my dear
And I think about you sometimes
But when you're with me boy it chokes my mind
Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on over and find yourself
Come on now it's freedom calling
Come on in and remind yourself
Man must fight for freedom sure that's what most other people would say
Look for a body to lead them but there's too many to lead them away.
Why wait until it's your time to die before you learn what you were born to
do'?
Come on now it's freedom calling but there's only one freedom for you.
Love, love boy...
And I can't wait to be with you tomorrow night.
Won't you give me your word that you won't laugh
Cause you've been a saving grace to me
And I'd hate to face a day without you around
My life would be without sound
Love, love, love, love must've made you on a Sunday
Cause you taste to me as good as god made honey taste babe
And the sky all glistens with gold
When you're talking to me
And the whirling wind turns to song
Why it sets my soul free
Love, love. love. Love must've made you on a Sunday
There are no words. I can use
Because the meaning still leaves for you to choose
And I couldn't stand to let them be abused, by you

You know, the things that I saw made me cry
I saw the pictures and letters,
I should have known better
Than to try to deny
I love them all

And if they came again
I'd do the same again
'Cause I'm that kind of a guy
And as I walked through the park where we used to play
You know, the bench and the tree are still there
And the pictures that you did,
Why am I so stupid?
They won't ever disappear
I love them all
I love them all
And if they came again
I'd do the same again
'Cause I'm that kind of a guy

Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love... Yes, I do
Oh and I remember you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to cry a lot, oh don't you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had simplicity and we had
Warm toast for tea and we laughed
And needed love.. Yes, I do
Oh and I remember you
You were my sweet love, my first sweet love
My lovey dove, my love lovey dove
No matter what place, whichever the place
I still see your face, your smiling face
In childish dreams, inside my dreams
Like king and queen, God save our dreams
N'though time may face, though time may fade
It ain't never too late, to learn about love
Learn about love
Remember the days of the old schoolyard

All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love... Yes, I do

Silent sunlight, welcome in
There is work I must now begin
All my dreams have blown away
And the children want to play
They'll soon remember things to do
When the heart is young
And the night is done
And the sky is blue
Morning songbird, sing away
Lend a tune to another day
Bring your wings and choose a roof
Sing a song of love and truth
We'll soon remember if you do
When all things were tall
And our friends were small
And the world was new
Sleepy horses, heave away
Put your backs to the golden hay
Don't ever look behind at the work you've done
For your work has just begun
There'll be the evening in the end
But till that time arrives
You can rest your eyes
And begin again

A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way, on the day I was to wed
It is you who I wish to share my body with she said
We'll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star on his head.
Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had diamonds on.
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood
And we walked 'till we came to where the holy magnolia stood.
And there we laid cool in the shade singing songs and making love
With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above.
The time was late my wedding wouldn't wait I was sad but I had to go,
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio.
The wedding took place and people came from many miles around
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound
But out of all that I recall I remembered the girl I met
'Cause she had given me something that my hear could not forget.
A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year before
As if was a year before
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed,
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon and star on his head.
As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe
They'd never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before.
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread
I'll tell you everything I've learned, and Love is all, he said.

Anywhere you want me to be honey, I'll be there to have and to hold
And now that the clouds roll back, hold on to me baby

Flying on the power of love. I love you
Though time may fade and mountains turn into sand

For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
So through darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
With love
Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come
Where it was dark now there's is light
Where there was pain, now there's joy
Where there was weakness, i found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
With love
Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come

Tale as old as time
Truth as it can be
Barely even friends
Than somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will arise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast.

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
And when those blue melodies start callin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue blue blue Christmas
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing, if you're not here with me

Can you keep a secret?
Come on, ohhhh
These walls keep a secret
That only we know
But how long can they keep it
Cause we're two lovers who lose control
We're two shadows chasing rainbows
Behind closed windows
Behind closed doors
If walls could talk-oh
They would say "I want you more"
They would say "Hey, never felt like
This before"
And that you would always be the one for me
Just two people making memories
Too good to tell
And these arms are never empty
When we're lying where we fall
We're painting pictures, making magic
Taking chances,
Making love
If walls could talk-oh
They would say "I want you more"
They would say "Hey, never felt like
This before"
And that you would always be the one for me
If walls had eyes, my
They would see the love inside
They would see me
In your arms in ecstasy
And with every move they'd know
I love you so
When I'm feeling weak
YOu give me wings
When the fire has no heat
You light it up again
When I hear no violins
You play my every string
So stop the press
Hold the news
The secret's safe between me and you
Walls, can you keep a secret?
If calls could talk, oh
They would say "I want you more"
They would say "Hey, never felt like
This before"
And that you would always be
The one for me
If walls had eyes, my
They would see the love inside
They would see, me
In your arms in ecstasy
And with every move they'd know
I love you so
<@#Celine_Dion_If_We_Could_Start_Over.txt#@>
I never found out why you walked away
And never said good-bye
But now that I see you
I'm torn inside, but I've still got my pride
I understand that some things are better left unsaid
I'm afraid of the truth
But what can I do if I still want you
If we could start over again
I know if we try our love could be stronger
If we could start over again
I'm sure, we oh
We'd never have to let go
For so many years now
I've held inside things I meant to say
But faced with the past now I realize
I can't let that stand in our way
I never knew that a love so strong would never fade
But what can we do
If I still want you
And you want me too
How can we walk away
From something that was once so strong
Have we the strength to say we're wrong

Whole world is watching us now
It's a little intimidating
But since there's no way to calm down
Let's give them some amazing
Let's make them remember
Using one word
Incredible (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Incredible (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Let's make them remember

We even counted us all
We were real sure we'd make it

It's nothing we can take it
We'll go down in history
They'll describe our love as

(C. Gaudette, A. Scott)
Look at you baby
The picture of a broken man
Your confidence is shaken
The world caved in on you again
But I know what to do to ease the pain
And bring you back to life again
(Chorus I)
A little bit of love
Can go a long way sometimes
A little bit of love
Is really all you need
When life gets tough you need
A little bit of love sometimes
Oh baby hold me
Let all that anger disappear
A little smile is showing
Something's catching fire here
And when the morning comes you'll be good as new
You'll take this night that we've shared with you
(Chorus ii)
A little bit of love
Can go a long way sometimes
A little bit of love
Is really all you need
When life gets tough you need
A little bit of love sometimes
A little bit of love
Can go a long way sometimes
A little bit of love
Is stronger than anything
Words ain't enough you need
A little bit of love sometimes
[Bridge:] You've done it before, you'll do it again
Get up off the floor, and jump right back in
Baby, I still believe in you
And we'll see this through
'Cause true love is on our side
(Breakdown)
A little bit, a little bit
(Solo)
(Chorus iii)
A little bit of love
Can go a long way sometimes
A little bit of love
Is really all you need
When life gets tough you need
A little bit of love sometimes
A little bit of love
Can go a long way sometimes
A little bit of love
Is really all you need
When life gets tough you need
A little bit of love sometimes
A little bit of love

You said you won't

I'm gonna check my love
You I'm gonna thrill
Can't imagine what you've missed
Can't go on
Meet me at midnight in the light that starts the love

Since there's was you
I changed my mind about it all
Instead of goin' on

Sweet song singin' take me back (I wanna go)
Sweet song singin' take me back (I wanna go)
Sweet song singin' take me back (I wanna go)
Sweet song singin' take me back (I wanna go)
Here's to, to a long forgotten dream
Enshrouded by, by a history so clean
In a place still the same, so rich with time
I remain in my heart, my soul, my mind
So clear is the mystery to me
So majestic, yet electric, dose of age I see
There remains a sparkle in the sand
Can't restrain these feelings of my ancient land
Here is a melody for you
Sky of white and nylon blue
Let me hurry home to you
To sing, to dance, to laugh
Embrace
So vague is this picture I am seeing
Yet so clear, and so dear my soul is singin'
To belong is this feelin' I am missin'
To embrace this memory I been kissin'
So clear is this mystery to me
So majestic, yet electric, guest of age I see
There remains a sparkle in the sand
Can't restrain these feelings of my ancient land
Here is a melody for you
Sky of white and nylon blue
Let me hurry home to you
To sing, to dance, to laugh
Embrace
I wanna go
Sweet song singin' take me back
I wanna go
Sweet song singin' take me back

Goldfinger, he's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister
Goldfinger, pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister
Goldfinger, pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold!
<@#Chaka_Khan_Haulin_Coal.txt#@>
Steamin' down the muddy waters
Travelin' yonder from bay to bay
I been workin' on the barge line
Fourteen years ago today
Eighteen hours hard labor by the day
Ain't much pay for a man
Chorus:
Haulin' coal down the down river
And he won't be comin' home for a long time
Torches burning by the riverside
Cast their shadows grey as stone
And the cool October days replacing
Much warmer thoughts of home
I can still see grandma sittin' on the porch
Tellin' the neighbors she's got a grandson
Chorus:
Haulin' coal down the down river
And he won't be comin' home for a long time
River's rising up the marker line
While the willows softly moan
Sun is rising over the starboard shore
Paving the golden road back home
I can still see the kids jumpin' rope
But there ain't much hope for a man
Chorus:
Haulin' coal down the down river
And he won't be comin' home for a long time
Haulin' coal down the down river
I'll be gone a long time
Haulin' coal down the down river
I'll be gone a long while

And have a good time, yeah

All we need is some funky music
So we can play the part and get way down
Into some rhythm we can groove to
Have a good time, yeah

I finally found you
Walkin' down the road so much older than yesterday
I finally found you
Such a heavy load upon your shoulders
I finally found a home in Georgia
Sweet magnolias everywhere
Sweet love by my side
I find my world without a care
I finally found you
I finally found you
Walkin' down the road so much older than yesterday
I finally found you
Such a heavy load upon your shoulders
I finally found the love I needed
Sweet persuasion in the air
Sweet love growing ever stronger
I finally found you
Etc.

It's not difficult
For me to say I love you
It wouldn't be difficult
If you would say the same
And believe me when I tell you
That I know you very well
I know you like I know my name
I think that I have met you
Somewhere in my dreams
I may never have met you at all
And I know you must be thinking,
"What a silly girl"
I know your every thought and scheme
I wake up to the feeling each morning
I go to bed to it at night
I know you, I live you
CHORUS:
Like I feel a song in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
I know you as if I've known you all my life
I know you, I live you
One day you'll realize
That we're not strangers
If you open up your eyes
You'll know me too
And see that we were
Meant to be together, my dear
And all the rest is up to you
BRIDGE
Like I feel a song in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
I know you as if I've known you all my life
I know you, I know you
Like I feel a song in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
I think I know you more than you know yourself
I know you, I live you
Know you, live you
Know you, live you
Know you
And without me you'd stumble
And without you I'd fall
Without each other we would not be at all

<@#Chaka_Khan_Keep_Your_Head_Up.txt#@>
When your heart is free
It?s easy to make a decision
When your head is clear
You know you have good judgment
But when your life is turning topsy turvey
And you have no reasons for what?s disturbing
Remember these words my father said to me
(Chorus)
He said: Keep your head up don?t say you love him
(Keep your head)
Walk away from all that has hurt you
(Find your power)
Find your power you know your strong
Make that step and it will help you along
When your mind's at peace
(at peace)
Sleep comes so very peacefully
When you start to dream
They are wonderful and so very sweet
But when your life is turning topsy turvey
And you have no answers for what?s disturbing
Remember these words a preacher said to me
(Chorus)
He said: Keep your head up don?t say you love him
(Keep your head up)
Walk away from all that is hurting
(Find your power)
Find your power you know your strong
(Take that step)
Make that step and it will help you along (2x)
Why give up this time you can win
(You can win)
Why give up this battle is within
(Is within)
Why stay when you don't know what he's gonna do
Why choose him when its time to choose you
Keep your head up don?t say you love him
Walk away from all that is hurting
Find your power you know your strong
Make that step it will help you along (2x)
Keep your head up (6x)

We all love to dance
In and out of discos, crazy lights
Keep on movin' all through the night

Why don't you listen
Listen to the groove
I am sure enough sure you'll find
Just the rhythm, the rhythm of your soul
Dance to the music keepin' steady time

Dance to the music on crazy lights
Dance to the music, crazy lights

<@#Chaka_Khan_Papillon_(Aka_Hot_Butterfly).txt#@>
A faded photograph I mailed to you
With feelings I don't want to face
And a long song of surrender in blue
I remember when you took my breath away
CHORUS:
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by
We didn't realize
All our memories are burning in time
Like a bittersweet perfume
Can you tell me how a love that's so fine
Could have climaxed in a single afternoon
Gone are the days of instant romance
And the nights of slow goodbyes
That was a time of life when foxy was the dance
But then you got wise to all my lies
CHORUS
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson

You've been keeping me in limbo
Playing hide and seek
You've been teasing me 'cause you know
That it makes me weak
You've done everything to fall in love
I know what you're running from
Kisses like these are few and far between
Now we're so close yet so far away
I'm breaking down the distance
With every move, with every touch
You're wearing down my resistance
You know your lonely days are numbered
There's nothing you can do
There'll be no more keeping us apart
I'm ready for the love to start
I can almost feel it breaking through
Now we're so close yet so far away
I'm breaking down the distance
With every move and every touch
I'm wearing down your resistance
I wanna get closer, closer to you
I can almost feel it breaking through
So close yet so far away
I'm breaking down the distance
With every move and every touch
I'm wearing down your resistance
So close yet so far away
I'm breaking down the distance
With every touch and every move
You're wearing down my resistance

I'd never forget those nameless years
Street sounds whirling through my mind
Trouble was often in the air
So we thought to forget our despair
Cause I'm a street player
And I play you a song (Play me a song, play me a song)
Cause my heart and soul
Will carry, carry on
City life's the only way
Street corners and billiard halls
Was my home away
Lesson's learned that still help me today
Cause I'm a street player
And I've seen it all (play me a song, play me a song)
Hit men and thieves and many a brawl
But as you will see I still stand tall
It was such a small space and time
I would never knew that I would find
A musical past for all to see exciety to ecstasy
I am a streetplayer
I am a streetplayer
I am a streetplayer
Cause I'm a street player
And I've seen it all (play me a song, play me a song)

I look in
your eyes and I can see
We've loved so dangerously
You're not trusting your heart to anyone
You tell me you're gonna play it smart
We're through before we start
But I believe that we've only just begun
When it's this good, there's no saying no
I want you so, I'm ready to go
[Chorus]
Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you
I'd gladly risk it all
Through the fire
Through whatever, come what may
For a chance at loving you
I'd take it all the way
Right down to the wire
Even through the fire
I know you're afraid of what you feel
You still need time to heal
And I can help if you'll only let me try
You touch me and something in me knew
What I could have with you
Well I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
I need you so, I'm ready to go
[Chorus]
Through the test of time

Through the fire, to the limit
Through the fire, through whatever
Through the fire, to the limit

When you try and look inside
Your lover's lovely eyes
And you're not sure of what you're seein'
And you're thinkin' all the time
Of the tings you should have said and done
And what it all could really mean
Remember that ...
CHORUS:
True love never looks back on heartache
True love never looks back on sorrow
True love only looks to tomorrow
True love never fades
When you're lookin' for some lies
To build a new disguise
So you can run away again
Usin' anger as a fuel
You go breakin' every rule in sight
Thinkin' that this might be the end
Remember that ...
CHORUS
Is there really any wonder why you're feelin this way
Livin' with a dream can cut just like a knife
Is there really any wonder why you're lonely today
When you're givin' up livin' up your live
Remember that ...

In the middle of the night
I had a vision
It was bigger than life
Standing on the edge of my bed
She said "come here, don't be afraid"
Her tongue opened like a shot
Oh bang bang
Ten feet tall, laser eyes
Killer body, killer thighs
She drew me a fine line
What's wrong what's right
I didn't know what to think
She seemed to know what to drink
I was stunned by her gun
Couldn't walk, couldn't run
Well she drew me a picture
And it seemed so true
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
She's lookin' right through my eyes
Love is passin' by
Right before my eyes
And I'm wondering why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Right here in my face
I had a vision
That was bigger than life
Oh connie likes nighttime, every night
Connie likes candy, every bite
All day sucker, connie might
Swallow that thing 'cause she does it right
I'm weak in the knees
I'm beggin' you please
Just ask for more
She just wants affection
My soldier's at attention
No I don't know
Why you're doin this to me
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge

Love is passin' by
Right before my eyes
And I'm wondering why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Well she told me
In the biblical sense
And she told me
In the strictest confidence
She told me
We were worlds apart
She told me, she told me
I don't know why I'm here
She said, "don't be afraid"
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
You're lookin' right through my eyes
Standing on the edge
Light flashes before my eyes
Standing on the edge
And watchin' my world crash by
Love is passing by
Right before my eyes

She left her neighborhood
In which everyone was filthy rich
She left her parent's home
And strained with a vagabond
Who made piles of love she never heard
And she believed his every word
She left no forwarding address
Just took her youth and happiness
As with the boy she vanished in
The secret sweetness of their sin
Oh, young girl
Oh, young girl of sixteen
Child of spring-time
Still green
Lying there by the road
He told her, "love demanded space"
So they roamed from place to place
Although she realized she'd sinned
She grew caution to the wind
As she followed him around
While he slowly dragged her down
So overpowering was her love
The it had made a captive of
The young girl's heart and soul and mind
In other words: love drove her blind
Oh, young girl
Oh, young girl of sixteen
Child of spring-time
Still green
Laying there by the road
Too much emotion for a girl
She let her heart become her world
What world that God has never rocked
For a sunder we are taught
Had she been wise and she'd have known
She could feed him love alone
She should of known the day would come
When he would quit her just for crumbs
He needed fresh young meat to love
And left her heart and mind to starve
Oh, young girl
Oh, young girl of sixteen
Child of spring-time
Still green
Lying there by the road

Apples don'T fall far from the tree
Writer Bob Stone
When I was five
I put on Mama's high heel shoes
And paint my face
And dance across the living room
In Ruby's place
Well the music was always playing
Girls laugh while the men were sayin'
Chorus:
Apples don't fall far from the tree
Hey, honey come sit on my knee
Apples don't fall far from the tree
And I remember Mama's tears
When they said in a few years
I'd be something to see
At seventeen I had me a diamond
And a string of pearls
The men said they preffered me
To the other girls
They took me to the best places
But I could read it on their faces
[Chorus:]
Then when Mama died I made up my mind
To get on a Greyhound, get out of this town
And leave it all behind
But life goes on
A child of three smiles up at me
While she plays
The man I love has never heard of "Ruby's Place"
When he holds her with affection
And he uses that old expression
[Chorus:]

Not a toy or a puppet on a string
Today we passed on the street
And you just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And once again I began to cry
When I think about the good love you gave to me
I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy

Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned

"Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"

Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame

To keep away the reasoning of why we lie
It only leads me down a lonely road
And strange of fates as a world to
A new and different time or place
To live away the time of day so we can race
Exactly what we choose just not to believe
And ooh
Happy was the day we met
Never could I ever forget you
I knew too well not to stay
We paid our price turn our heads
Close our eyes and sacrifice
Excuses of love
That once was warm has turned to ice
But only leave me cold and so alone
Now memories of years and fun
Can only turn my eyes to see
All the good that's been undone
But I believe we're lucky just to learn
From what we were
And ooh

Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye
I made a promise to myself
And this one I'm not gonna break
I've made it without you, and I'm not about to
Just turn around and make the same mistake
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye
I don't think I could say goodbye
I know that I can't say goodbye again
<@#Cher_Have_I_Stayed_Too_Long.txt#@>
I think this party is going badly
Is there something wrong
I see faces looking sadly
Have I stayed too long
Even though I see me smile
That same scene and acting wild
Pretending that I really care
Smiling face is just a mask
Without love a kiss is nothing
Have I done something wrong
I look around and I can't find nothing
Have I stayed too long
Without beginning there ain't no end
Without a hope, you got no friends
Have I gone from loving you
To find out what's behind my tears
I got to get out of this place
I'm tired, tired of waiting
This phony place
I think this party is going badly
Is there something wrong
I see faces looking sadly
I guess I'm going home
Even though you see me smiling
That same scene and acting wild
Pretending that I really care
Smiling face is just a mask
<@#Cher_He_Thinks_I_Still_Care.txt#@>
Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I rang his number by mistake today
He thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of him lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be
He thinks I still care
And if he's happy thinking I still need him
Then let that silly notion bring him cheer
But how could he ever be so foolish?
Oh, where would he get such an idea?
Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I saw him, then went all to pieces
He thinks I still care
He thinks I still care
He thinks I still care
He thinks I still care
<@#Cher_Hold_You_Tighter.txt#@>
Two more days and we'll be home
Two more days and we won't be alone
We'll see things that we recognize
We'll get to look in our baby's eyes
And I know that you're lonesome baby
It's hard hanging on
I know that you're tired baby
But I'll help you be strong
Chorus:
Cause I'm gonna hold you tighter (tighter)
Tighter (tighter), tighter (tighter)
(Baby)
I'm gonna hold you tighter (tighter)
Tighter (tighter), tighter (tighter)
(Baby yeah, yeah)
We've been out on a thirty-day gig
Paid our dues cause that's how we live
Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry
Sometimes we're weary and sometimes we're high
Hey I know that you're lonesome baby
It's hard hanging on
I know that you're tired baby
But I'll help you be strong
Chorus
How'd you tell a baby that's just eight months old
Her daddy and momma gotta work on the road
Every night she won't get kissed
Cause we're out here trying
To get her all the things that we missed
And I know that you're lonesome baby
It's hard hanging on
I know that you're tired baby
But I'll help you be strong
Chorus
It's seems kinda funny that it ain't just you and me
The number was two and now we changed to three
We added one more color and the color made us brighter
But to keep our rainbow blowing now we gotta be a fighter
And I know that you're lonesome baby
It's hard hanging on
I know that you're tired baby
But I'll help you be strong
Chorus
<@#Cher_Holdin_Out_For_Love.txt#@>
Had my share of disco nights
Did some talking, rainbow lights
Easy smile shines like gold
Burning hot and turning cold
Live that kind of life before
Lost the note to learn the score
Something tells me that
There must be something more
[Chorus]
This time I'm holdin' out for love
Made up my mind
I'm holdin' out for love
Mister this time
I'm holdin' on, holdin' back
Holdin' out for love
Had my fill of party scenes
One night stands and neon dreams
Good times friends and fancy clothes
Flashing highs and crashing lows
So if that's what's on your mind
Well I'll just take a pass this time
I believe I rather leave it all behind
[Chorus]
I need to find someone
Who'll still be holding me
When the dance is done
[Chorus: x 3]
<@#Cher_How_Long_Has_This_Been_Going_On.txt#@>
I could cry some chin-chin tears
Where have I been all these years
A little while come on tell me now
How long has this been going on
What a kick and how I buzz
My son you click like nobody does
Listen sweet I repeat
How long has this been going on
[Chorus]
I feel like I could melt right into heaven
I've heard
And now I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once and then again once more
God what a dunce I was before
What a break for heaven sake
How long has this been going on
[Chorus]
<@#Cher_I_Will_Wait_For_You.txt#@>
[Chorus]
If it takes forever
I will wait for you
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me
Till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh
Here in my arms
Anywhere you wonder
Anywhere you go
Everyday remember
How I love you so
In your heart believe what
In my heart I know
That forever more
I'll wait for you
If it takes forever
I will wait for you
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you
[Chorus]
<@#Cher_Ill_Never_Stop_Loving_You.txt#@>
One day I'll stop breathing
My heart will stop beating
I won't see your face again
This flesh and blood is weak
And life isn't ours to keep
Sometime it has to end
In time even memories fade away
With time you might live
To forgive and forget
The mistakes that I made
[Chorus]
I broke some promises
Sometimes I lied to you
But one thing will always be true
I'll never stop loving you
Fall from your grace
You'll never be replaced
God knows how hard I've tried
But it just ain't no use
I thought I could shake you loose
I'm still torn up inside
In time even memories fade away
With time you might live
To forgive and forget
The mistakes that I made
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Cher_Im_In_The_Middle.txt#@>
Don't makes no difference
If you lay down and cry
You know that you lied to me
And if you come to me
With tears in your eyes
Don't say good-bye
Just leave
[Chorus]
Cause I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands
I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
And if looks like I lose again
Don't make no difference
What you think of me
You know that I'm restless and afraid
And if you love me
I know that you will see
You can't keep me
To the promises that I made
[Chorus]
Don't make no difference
What you think about me
After all you took me for a ride
Now every night with you
I still seem to find
I just can't keep you satisfied
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Cher_It_Gets_Me_Where_I_Want_To_Go.txt#@>
It gets me where I want to go
It gets me where I wanna go
A ride around the world
Just around the corner
In his eyes
It gets me where I wanna go
A vision of my day dreams
About what the good life means
In my eyes
Too many sad eyes are open for me now
Too many dreams of life
Dissolved and into dust
Too many moments lost
The price ain't worth the cost
Too many wasted thoughts of loving
And leaving you
Taste of life, I have with you
It gets me where I wanna go
A ride around the world
Just around the corner
In his eyes
In his eyes
In his eyes
<@#Cher_Julie.txt#@>
She lives life with hungry ears
Well that's like Julie borned in the air
Riding away on the horses that run through my life
You think I'm fun just watching the game
But Julie you're messing with a naked flame
I'm a dangerous rain that wash all your lies away
Well I never, Julie you're the shape of sin
But I can strut boy, when the line dance begins
So cool it Julie or I'm gonna do you in
Julie, Julie why do you taunt me
Julie, Julie you're lying
Julie, Julie Why do you haunt me
Julie, oh Julie you lying bitch
Well you think I'm just flying
With strings of a kite
But Julie I hope you're not for oblige
I'm flying higher
And I am the one holding the knife
He's all that I got and he's all that I want
Well Julie for the last time enough is enough
Take it from me you'll meet no meaner woman, no
Julie, Julie why do you taunt me
Julie, Julie you're lying
Julie, Julie Why do you haunt me
Julie, oh Julie you lying bitch
Julie, Julie why do you taunt me
Julie, Julie you're lying
Julie, Julie Why do you haunt me
Julie, oh Julie you lying bitch
<@#Cher_Just_You.txt#@>
With his big brown eyes he came my way
I didn't know then what he had to say
I could tell that he felt bad
By the way he looked that he felt sad, oh yeah
Sometimes you hurt me baby, I don't know why
I'll always love you baby till the day I die
But when you look at fellas
Baby I get jealous
I only live my life for you
Anything you say I'll do
I'll live for you, I'll die for you
I'll even climb the mountains high for you
Thought right then he'd break my heart
I could feel the teardrops start
Why didn't he know I love him so
I could never let him go, oh no
I'd never hurt you baby, tell you why
I'm gonna love you till the day I die
When I look at fellas
Baby don't get jealous
I only live my life for you, anything you say I'll do
I'll live for you, I'll die for you
I'll even climb the mountains high for you
I love you, just you, nobody else but you
I love you, only you,every day, every day, just you
<@#Cher_Knock_On_Wood.txt#@>
I don't want to lose this good thing
Baby that we got
If I do, I would surely, surely lose alot
Cause your love is better
Then any love I know
It's like thunder (Thunder)
And lightning (Lightning)
The way you love me is freighting
I better knock on wood (Baby)
I better knock, knock, knock
I'm not superstitious about you
I can't take no chance
Got me spinning oh baby
Baby I'm in a trance
Cause your love is better
Then any love I know
It's like thunder (Thunder)
And lightning (Lightning)
The way you love me is freighting
I better knock on wood
It's no screte that my man fills my loving cup
He sees to it that I get just enough
Just one touch from him
Lord it means so much
It's like thunder (Thunder)
And lightning (Lightning)
The way you love me is freighting
I better knock on wood
Knock, knock, knock on wood

<@#Cher_Lie_To_Me.txt#@>
Hmmm
Oh, fuck, just lie to me
Tell me something sweet
Till I look the other way
Don't wanna start over babe
Already gave you everything
I got nothing left of me
The truth is overrated
Here it comes now, you're gonna stab me in the heart
I'm gonna hold my ears, so I can't hear us fall apart
Oh, I'm just a little broken down, trying to keep myself alive
So don't kill me
Don't kill me
Neither one of us is pure enough to come clean
I'd rather you lie to me
And look me dead in the eyes
Tell me I'm the one you need
I don't wanna start over babe
This was my everything
You were my last chance, you see
Truth is overrated to me
Is this all common now?
Where's that fairytale that sold us out?
Oh, do you really think you're the only one with secrets now?
See, you're like me
You're just like me
Well, one of us is happy
Other bleeds
So just lie to me
I tell you something sweet
Till we look the other way
We don't wanna start over babe
Weavin' up everything
Till there's nothing left
Hmmm
<@#Cher_Little_Man.txt#@>
Little man, when you stand by my side
Then I know I don't have to hide from anyone
And I pray that we'll stay just that way
Till the day comes along when we catch the sun.
[Chorus: x2]
Little girl you're runnin'
Come catch my hand I'm near you
Little girl you're singin'
Come close to me I hear you
You're growin' old, my mother's cold
Now you've learned what it meant to be mature
There's no such place as make believe
But when I look at your face,
I'm not so sure
You and me is what I see
And that's the way its gonna stay and it will always be
So little man, please understand
In this world with all its land
You're all I see
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Cher_Love_Enough.txt#@>
Something goes wrong,Something goes right,
And it ever punishes or strokes our pride.
Never stop to think how much we lose,
When we pick and chose in out solitude.
Sothing comes up, Something goes down,
Suddenly you feel your being pushed around,
And just becuse you think your losin hold,
You try to take control, the stories very old.
But if we ever get our minds made up
All we gotta do is love enough,
Won't be long before it comes to you
Given love enough, you'll see it through
All you gotta do is love enough
Someone wants in, someone wants out
But doesnt't't't anybody see beyond the clouds,
Cause man you've hardly learned to speak your name
Before your in this game
But baby all the same
But if we ever get our minds made up
All we gotta do is love enough,
Won't be long before it comes to you
Given love enough, you'll pull it through
All you gotta do is love enough
All you really gotta do is love enough
Wont be long before it comes to you
Given love enough, you'll see it through
All you gotta do is love enough
<@#Cher_Love_Is_The_Groove.txt#@>
In the east and in the west
Every bird will seek its' nest
Everyone will seek its' home
Home is where the heart goes
And the moon will rise and fall
And the light will touch the tide
Are we holding hands and never feeling?
All around the world we sing
Like a penny in a spin
Always looking for the way
To get out, to get in
[Chorus]
Love is the groove in which we move
Love is the groove in which we move
Love is the groove in which we move
In the alleys o Monsay
In the streets of Katmandu
On the high roads of Peru
People meet and touch and go
But the wind of change will blow
And another dance will start
And I'll finally get the point
Like an arrow to my heart
[Chorus]
Look back where's the sea
Who brought this mystery?
Deep in another world
Someone is listening
And they as with night
And we keep asking why
Look back there's the key
Deep in another life
On this ship in which we sail
Everything is possible
Keep on turning like a star
Till you get to where you are
If I promise not to laugh
Will you promise not to cry?
Will you promise not to let this life
Slip by?
<@#Cher_Mama_Was_A_Rock_And_Roll_Singer,_Papa_Used_To_Write_All_Her_Songs.txt#@>
Mama was a rock and roll singer yeah
Papa used to write all her songs
Well you could hear their music playing
On the jukebox all day long
Whoa They was bringing down together yes they is
In a 2-Part harmony,
Till one day, one day my daddy sang alone
He sang his song just for me
Good God
You think you're just a fox
And that's all that you got to be
Oh well you might be a fox
But lady that ain't enough for me
You're jacking everybody in town
But you ain't jacking me around
[Chorus:]
Foxy lady shining on
I hope you miss me when I'm gone
Coz foxy lady gone is where I'm gonna be
You're super fine
And you blow people's mind I know
But will you pardon me please
If I don't stick around for your show
You got everybody chasing your tail
They even let you put them in jail
[Chorus:]
Oh damn you girl
You went and messed up
The world we had
And what I'm trying to say
In my own sweet way if I may
You got everybody singing your tune
But you're flying on a friendly balloon
[Chorus:]
<@#Chicago_All_Roads_Lead_To_You.txt#@>
Headed north on a one way trip
I never thought I'd be back this way
I never thought I'd be missin' you
Enough to suffer for a whole night through
Headed south and I didn't look back
I rode the wind off the beaten track
I tried runnin' from the thought of you
Hunted down by what I know is true
To the north to the south it don't matter
Every road leads to you
All roads lead to you wherever I go
Every time I told you I was just passin' through
What my heart didn't know
Was all roads lead to you
Headed east on an Amtrak train
I hit the city in the pourin' rain
I never thought I'd be callin' you
Every hour from that hotel room
Headed west on a jumbo jet
I rode off into the red sunset
I stood there knockin' on the devil's door
Wonderin' what the hell I'm searchin' for
To the east to the west it don't matter
Every sign points to you
All roads lead to you wherever I go
Every time I told you I was just passin' through
What my heart didn't know
Was all roads lead to you
All my life the winding road i followed
Has led me straight to your arms
All roads lead to you wherever I go
Every time I told you I was just passin' through
What my heart didn't know
Was all roads lead to you
<@#Chicago_Along_Comes_A_Woman.txt#@>
There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to
Someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there
(All alone) Nothin' seemed to matter
(So alone) Doesn't get much better
(Can't explain) Something that you're feeling
For the very first time
There was a time when you needed someone to hold on to
Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere
(All alone) Suddenly you see her
(So alone) You know you're gonna meet her
(Can't explain) Something that you're feeling
For the very first time
Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way
That you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right
There was a time that you needed somebody to count on
You needed someone to count on, somebody to care
(Now she's here) Nothin' seems to matter
(She's so near) Everything is better
(Can't explain) Something that you're feeling
For the very first time
Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way
That you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right
(And you know that it's right)
Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the air
That you're breathing tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you're holding her tight
Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way
That you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right
(And you know that it's right)
Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the air
That you're breathing tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you're holding her tight
<@#Chicago_At_The_Sunrise.txt#@>
How could I be happy
Without her by my side
Without her smiling face
At the sunrise?
How could I keep living
With emptiness inside
With no one there to touch
At the sunrise?
She gave meaning to my words
She helped me find my way
The time I had to leave her
Leave her all alone
The way she looked at me
Made me cry
I know she understands me
She knows I'm feelin' bad
Until I'm back beside her
At the sunrise

Convinced me to elope one day

<@#Chicago_Explain_It_To_My_Heart.txt#@>
I understand there's no future for us here
Guess, I fooled myself into thinkin' there was
Now you've made it clear
It will never be right, guess we knew it all along
Now we've got to say goodbye
And I've got to be strong
So tell me one more time, how it's better for the both of us
Tell me one more time, how we'll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time, my darlin' there's just one more thing
Before you walk away
Explain it to my heart, it's better that we're over now
Tell me one more time, this is the way it's suppose to be
Tell me that I'm better off without you, how it's better to forget about you
Darlin' I understand, now won't you please explain it to my heart?
Now if I try, I can see the reasons why
Why we can't stay together
And I might convince my mind
But it's breakin' my heart to know I've got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind
The only love I've known
Well, I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that it's better just to say goodbye
I can tell myself a thousand lies but tell me now
Tell me how I do
Explain it to my heart, it's better that we're over now
Tell me one more time, this is the way it's suppose to be
Tell me that I'm better off without you, how it's better to forget about you
Darlin', I understand, now won't you please explain it to my heart?
Say that I'll be better if we don't stay together
Say that I'll be better off free but don't say it to me
Explain it to my heart, tell me that I'm better off without you
How it's better to forget about you, darlin', I understand
Now, won't you please explain it to my heart?
It's better that we're over now, tell me one more time
This is the way it's suppose to be, tell me that I'm better off without you
How it's better to forget about you, darlin', I understand
Now, won't you please explain it to my heart?
<@#Chicago_Feel.txt#@>
So everybody's pulling you in all directions
You don't know how much longer to take it
So you've learned how to fake it
That smile on the outside's fading fast
Like the things that you thought for sure would last
But they didn't
You know something's missing
Is it your life you're not living?
Chorus:
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, yeah, take the wheel
Lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late,
Just close your eyes and feel, feel
You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from bad
It's senseless
To waste your senses
Maybe stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead
Just try it
You just might like it
Aren't you dying to start livin'?
[Chorus:]
Every breath that's going thru you
Take each day that's given to you
To love back the ones who love you
[Chorus:]
You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from the bad
Feel and stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
Yeah, yeah, yeah....
You've played the game for long enough, oh, no, no,
Everybody's pulling you in all directions.
<@#Chicago_Feeling_Stronger_Everyday.txt#@>
I do believe in you and I know you believe in me, oh yeah, oh yeah.
And now we realize love's not all that it's supposed to be, oh yeah, oh yeah.
And knowing that you would have wanted it this way,
I do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day.
I know we really tried, together we had a love inside, oh yeah, oh yeah.
So now the time has come for both of us to live on the run. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
And knowing that you would have wanted it this way,
I do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day.
After what you've meant to me, ooh baby now, I can make it easily.
I know that we both agree the best thing to happen to you
Is the best thing that happened to me.
Feelin' stronger every day, feelin' stronger every day.
Feelin' stronger every day (you know I'm alright now),
Feelin' stronger every day (you know I'm alright now)...

I will always love you
I would never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you cryin'
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make you be alone
I am the man who would fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreamin' of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
You keep me standing tall
You helped me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make you be alone
I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you been dreamin' of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
Like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just the time I'd save the day
Take you to my castle far away
I am the man who would fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreamin' of
Gonna live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the Glory of Love
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the Glory of Love
We did it all for love

I thought for the rest of my life
You'd see me through it
Guess, all along I knew it
Nothing mattered, everything was all right
When you saw to it
Before I knew it you were gone, long gone
You said, you would always be there
When I believed you
I was a fool to need you
Gave my love then I gave you my heart
And then you flew it
Before I knew it you were gone, long gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
I thought for the rest of my life
You'd see me through it
Yes, all along I knew it
Didn't matter and it didn't seem right
And then you flew it
Before I knew it
You were gone, long gone
Gone long gone
You were gone, long gone

Catherine Zeta-Jones: While truckin' down
The road of life
Although all hope seems gone...
I just move on
Renee Zellweger: When I can't find a single star
To hang my wish upon
I just move on...
I move on
Catherine Zeta-Jones: I run so fast!
A shotgun blast
Can hurt me not one bit!
Renee Zellweger: I'm on my toes! 'Cause heaven knows
A movin' target's hard to hit!
Both: So as we play
An ex-ballet
We're not the dyin' swan
We just move on...
We move on
Renee Zellweger: Just when it seems
We're out of dreams
And things have got us down...
Catherine Zeta-Jones: We don't despair!
We don't go there!
We hang our bonnets out of town!
Both: So there's no doubt
We're well cut out
To run life's marathon...
We just move on...
We just move on...
So light of foot!
We can't stay put!
We just move on!
Yes, we move on...

Say no more,
If you want to kiss goodnight,
That's alright by me.
Close your door,
Make sure the latch is tight,
Fall gently to sleep.
We don't have to rush ahead,
Putting questions in your head,
And an ache in your heart,
Let's take a lifetime,
All that we desire,
Build it day by day into forever.
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you require,
Here and now and ever.
In these times,
Love is not some harmless game,
It's played strictly for keeps.
No, It's no crime,
Wanting me to feel the same,
With the water so deep.
Come tomorrow once again,
We'll be together until then,
We've dreaming to do.
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you desire.
Build it day by day into forever
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you require.
Here and now and lasting ever more.
So hard to leave you standing there in the light,
You look so lovely.
If we must
No use tempting fate.

That this is all we want to be
A constant urge within us grows
To do the thing that we propose
We tried so hard to make the grade
By making music day to day
Although our task is never done
You ought to know it's just begun
And now it's time for us to say
But most of all we like to play
A song or two that makes you feel
Like all the good in you is real
Together now we've lots to hear
To warm my heart to shed a tear
So come and listen if you choose
And feel a joy you'll never lose
So everybody listen
Yeah
Everybody please give a listen

You may see the love I left behind
Days were fast but full of life
We laughed at everything
Now you've gone time is standing still
I don't do anything I'm so alone
So lonely
Still I can recall
The happy times
Laughing arm and arm
So alive
Was it years ago
Or just a day
When you turned to me
Said goodbye
Now you've gone away
I don't know why
Did you have to lie
Walk away
How can I go on
In emptiness
Feeling so alone
Every day

Everywhere life, everywhere joy, everywhere nowadays

But I can offer you that cure
To mend your broken heart
I know that you are not blind
I know you see my messed up mind
I bet you see my broken heart too
So won't you
Bring your heart and your mind
That's out on the run
Fuse them with my broken heart
In my mind
We'll be one

I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me

Now that you know yours is just like mine

Shadows were hiding what I couldn't see
Out in the dark - she was calling to me
Calling to me with a voice I'd never forget
She was a vision I couldn't believe
I held her close wo that she wouldn't leave
Suddenly hopeless - hopelessly falling in love
Chorus:
I remember the feeling
I remember the way
She came and wrapped her arms around me
Told me that she cared
Said she'd always be there
Taking me places that I've never been
She had the beauty that comes from within
Was I just dreaming was it too good to be true
I was a man all alone in the night
She came along and she showed me the light
I was confused then she told me the way
I was alone and I begged her to stay
She was alive I was caught by the fire
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I awoke she was gone

Way down in the Congoland
Lived a happy chimpanzee.
She loved a monkey with long tail
(Lordy, how she loved him!)
Each night he would find her there,
Swinging in the cocoanut tree,
And the monkey gay,
At the break of day,
Loved to hear his Chimpie say:
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Chimpie to the Monk,
"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Monkey to the Chimp.
All night long they'd chatter away,
All day long there were happy and gay,
Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Means "Monk, I love but you."
"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk
Means "Chimp, I love you, too."
Then the big baboon one night in June,
He married them and very soon,
They went upon their aba, daba honeymoon.
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Chimpie to the Monk,
"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Monkey to the Chimp.
All night long they'd chatter away,
All day long there were happy and gay,
Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Means "Monk, I love but you."
"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk
Means "Chimp, I love you, too."
One night they were made man and wife,
And now they cry, "This is the life,"
Since they came from their aba, daba honeymoon.
Well, you should have heard that band
Play upon their wedding day,
Each Chimp and Monkey had nutshells
(Lordy, how they played them)
And now it is ev'ry night,
High up in the cocoanut tree.
It's the same old thing,
With the same old swing,
When the Monk and Chimpie sing:
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Chimpie to the Monk,
"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Monkey to the Chimp.
All night long they'd chatter away,
All day long there were happy and gay,
Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.

<@#Children_Alexander_Beetle.txt#@>
I found a little beetle, so that beetle was his name,
And I called him Alexander and he answered just the same.
I put him in a matchbox, and I kept him all the day...
And Nanny let my beetle out
Yes, Nanny let my beetle out
She went and let my beetle out-
And beetle ran away.
She said she didn't mean it, and I never sauid she did,
She said she wanted matches, and she just took off the lid
She said that she was sorry, but it's difficult to catch
An excited sort of beetle you've mistaken for a match.
She said that she was sorry, and I really mustn't mind
As there's lots and lots of beetles which she's certain we could find
If we looked about the garden for the holes where beetles hid-
And we'd get another matchbox, and write beetle on the lid.
We went to all the places which a beetle might be near,
And we made the sort of noises which a beetle likes to hear,
And I saw a kind of something, and I gave a sort of shout:
"A beetle-house and Alexander Beetle coming out!"
It was Alexander Beetle I'm as certain as can be
And he had a sort of look as if he thought it might be me,
And he had a kind of look as if he thought he ought to say:
"I'm very, very sorry that I tried to run away."
And Nanny's very sorry too, for you know what she did,
And she's writing alexander very blackly on the lid,
So Nan and me are friends, because it's difficult to catch
An excited Alexander you've mistaken for a match

To that lowly manger bed
There to bend the knee before

So may we with willing feet
Ever seek Thy mercy seat

So may we with holy joy
Pure and free from sin's alloy
All our costliest treasures bring

Holy Jesus ev'ry day
Keep us in the narrow way
And when earthly things are past
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide
Where no clouds Thy glory hide
<@#Children_Autumn_Lullaby.txt#@>
The sun has gone from the shining skies,
Bye, baby, bye,
The dandelions have closed their eyes,
Bye, baby, bye.
The stars are lighting their lamps to see
If babes and squirrels and birds and bees,
Are sound asleep as they should be,
Bye, baby, bye.
The squirrel keeps warm in his furs of gray,
Bye, baby, bye,
'Neath feathers, birdies are tucked away,
Bye, baby, bye.
In yellow jackets, the bees sleep tight
And cuddle close through the chilly night,
My baby's snug in her gown of white,
Bye, baby, bye.
The squirrel nests in a big oak tree,
Bye, baby, bye,
He finds a hole in the trunk, you see,
Bye, baby, bye.
The robin's home is a nest o'erhead,
The bees, they nest in a hive instead,
My baby's nest is her little bed,
Bye, baby, bye.

Imagine the love
Of a child for his toys,
The love of a bird
For it's mate,
Imagine the love
Of a miser for gold,
Then imagine a love
Twice as great.
If you multiply each love
A million times more,
It won't be half the love
That a mother has for:
Baby shoes, baby shoes,
Mother will never forget them,
You have forgotten
When your feet were bare,
Mother remembers,
She still has a pair
Of baby shoes, baby shoes,
To keep them,
The world she'd refuse.
If she had to choose,
Her life she would lose,
Before she'd part with her
Baby's shoes.
Baby shoes, baby shoes,

If she had to choose,
Her life she would lose,
Before she'd part with her
Baby's shoes.
Alone in the attic
She fondles those shoes,
And wonders
Where her boy has gone,
And over his shoes
She is saying a pray'r,
That the good Lord
Will keep him from harm.
In her heart
There is gladness,
Tho' her eyes are wet,
Because Mother remembers,
Tho' you may forget:
Baby shoes, baby shoes,
Mother will never forget them,
You have forgotten
When your feet were bare,
Mother remembers,
She still has a pair
Of baby shoes, baby shoes,
To keep them,
The world she'd refuse.

<@#Children_Bringing_In_The_Hay.txt#@>
Hear the merry laugh of children,
Hear the chestnut horses neigh!
See the mice all scurry,
See the farmers hurry,
When it's time for
Bringing in the hay!
Good smells coming from the kitchen,
We'll get lots of treats today!
Cattle are a-mooing
Pigeons are a-cooing,
As they watch us
Bringing in the hay!
Pitchforks shining in the sunlight,
As the farmers work all day,
They were early starting,
And they won't be parting,
'Til we finish
Bringing in the hay.

As I was walking down the street,
Down the street, down the street,
A pretty little gal I chanced to meet,
Oh, she was fair to see.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight,
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.
I stopped her and we had a talk,
Had a talk, had a talk,
Her feet took up the whole sidewalk
And left no room for me.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight,
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.
I asked her if she'd have a dance,
Have a dance, have a dance,
I thought that I might have a chance
To shake a foot with her.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight,
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin',
And her heel kept a-knockin', and her toes kept a-rockin'
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin'
And we danced by the light of the moon.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight,
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.

You ought to see my Cindy,
She lives a-way down South,
And she's so sweet the honey bees
All swarm around her mouth.
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you someday.
The first time that I saw her
She was standin' in the door,
Her shoes and stockings in her hand,
Her feet all over the floor.
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you someday.
I wish I was an apple
A-hangin' on a tree,
And every time my Cindy passed,
She'd take a bite of me.
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you someday.

I have a dear old daddy,
For whom I nightly pray,
He has a set of whiskers
That are always in the way.
Oh, they're always in the way,
The cows eat them for hay,
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt,
They're always in the way.
Father had a strong back,
Now it's all caved in,
He stepped upon his whiskers
And walked up to his chin.
Oh, they're always in the way,
The cows eat them for hay,
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt,
They're always in the way.
Father has a daughter,
Her name is Ella Mae,
She climbs up father's whiskers
And braids them all the way.
Oh, they're always in the way,
The cows eat them for hay,
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt,
They're always in the way.
I have a dear old mother,
She likes the whiskers, too,
She uses them for dusting
And cleaning out the flue.
Oh, they're always in the way,
The cows eat them for hay,
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt,
They're always in the way.

Met a shy guy from Knoxville, Tennessee
High School Yum Yum, gimme some Henessey
I threw him a ball but he didn't hit it
Said gimme a call but he never did it
I-I-I-I don't care, I don't care
If you don't wanna bother with me baby,
'Cause I-I-I-I don't care, I don't care
There's better guys everywhere, so there!
Never gonna say that I'm sorry I kissed him
Guess it's not my day, he turned and I missed him
I was workin' overtime, now I just wanna walk out.
I just tried to make him mine, it's not like he's a knockout.
I-I-I-I don't care, I don't care
If you don't wanna bother with me baby,
'Cause I-I-I-I don't care, I don't care
There's better guys everywhere, so there!

I got money
Everything that I ever wanted
Never thought of what I might need, need, need
Ain't it funny, how I spend my whole life running
Reaching for the sky high and coming down with nothing
Feels like I'm four years old all over again
Because I'm just running fast and should be walking
Saying when I grow up you gon' see
I'm gon' be comfortable and happy
I guess I was faking cause look at all the money I'm making
Still nothing can compare to the thought of love
But it's taking too much time to see that I'm wasting
Reaching for the sky high and coming down with nothing
It feels like I'm four years old all over again
'Cause I just keep running fast and should be walking
Saying when I grow up you gon' see
I'm gon' be comfortable and happy
I'm so alone, I feel so alone, so alone in this world
Got everything I want
It feels like I'm four years old all over again
'Cause I just keep running fast and should be walking
Saying when I grow up you gon' see
I'm gon' be comfortable and happy
Whoah

Pussy too good when I bang I'm on a mission
Body to body when we changing up positions
I'm like a prodigal, I pick her like eeny meeny miney mo
Hop out the plane like Geronimo, I lock her down like Guantanamo
I give that pussy a taste, put that shit all in my face
She likes the Codeine and the J, baby girl all I can say
[Chorus]
You've been down for me
Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one
And you've been riding for me girl
Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one
I knew you had my back girl
Since day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one
And I love you for that, you're
My day one, day one, day one, day one, day one, day one shawty

(Verse 1)
Baby close your eyes and just
Take my hand and put your trust
In my heart I'll show you things you never seen before
Girl the world is full of hearts
But they never been this far
And galaxies calling on you and me
Just for one night girl, that's right
(Bridge)
Hold on tight, don't let go
If you don't take the chance you'll never know
Moving faster now
Driving at the speed of light, the speed of sound
(Chorus)
Go away ohh you'll be riding on the stars tonight
Go away ohh girl don't we get lost tonight
Don't you wanna go to the moon with me?
Oh girl I know you wanna go riding on the stars tonight
(Verse 2)
I confess my love for you
As we stick a flag up on the moon
Baby I can honestly say
I can stay up here forever in a day
(Bridge)
Hold on tight, don't let go
If you don't take the chance you'll never know
Moving faster now
Driving at the speed of light, the speed of sound

Go away ohh you'll be riding on the stars tonight
Go away ohh girl don't we get lost tonight
Don't you wanna go to the moon with me?
Oh girl I know you wanna go riding on the stars tonight

I wanna fly away from here
But if you get lonely, we can fly away, away
All you got to do is hold me, we can go today, today

Go away ohh you'll be riding on the stars tonight
Go away ohh girl don't we get lost tonight

Cause you're not here with me
I'm reaching out for you
I wish I could talk to you
Trying to figure out
What's going on with me

All the answers for everything
Oh girl, I think she is the one
Who where that's coming from

Somewhere it's wrong
When lately I owe it all to you
All those lately used to be now
Seem so lately

All I know is that you are the cure
Cause I've been diagnosed for love
Does anybody know the answer to this question
Cause I'm confused so now
I'm hoping for suggestions
My heart is taking loud (So loud)
What is this about (About)

Cleared all the numbers out my phone
Then left that whole life go on
So are two of the symptoms I see
And I believe, oh girl, I am sure
That you are my miracle

I wanna be the thought that you think whatever is on your mind

Girl I wanna be a part of you just like the air you breathe
And you can count on me

Oh I need a back talk, girl I'm your dady, no sass talk

I hold on with all my might while you look at me in my eye
Like a vitamin you put back my energy, you're making me stronger, and bring
out the best of me

Your momma,
And everybody momma (haha)
Here we go... listen listen
[Verse 1]
I remember Saturday mornin's
Me wakin' up to momma in the kitchen cookin' to Sam Cook and
I was just a young dude, watchin' mornin' cartoons, waitin' for momma to braid
my hair
I used to hate to get it done, cause she'd braid it too tight
My momma always gave a style she knew I would like, and then
I would go outside and play, she'd sit on the front porch
While me and Rob played ball
[Bridge]
Momma always did little things like that
Momma always will know I love her for that
For all the things that you used to do...
Momma I dedicate this one to you
[Chorus]
It's straight from the heart
This is your song
You're my lucky charm so you already know,
That Ima sing this one for you, so let me sing this one for you
From every tour, every show
You're my lucky charm, go wherever I go
Momma Ima sing this one to you, momma let me sing this one to you
[Verse 2]
She's like the mother of Tappahannock, VA
Everybody knew miss Joyce, where we stayed
All heads said she was cool, nothing' that she wouldn't do
But about CB, she was know to act a fool (whoawhoa)
With the little money that she made
She took the bed and made it all okay
Night at the daycare, when we had to stay there
Always held it down, so I gotta thank you now
[Bridge]
Momma always did little things like that (oh)
Momma always will know (aye) I love her for that
For all the things that you used to do...
Momma I dedicate this one to you
Sing with the song of Chris Brown, Mama lyrics!
[Chorus]
It's straight from the heart
This is your song
You're my lucky charm so (so you already know) you already know,
That Ima sing this one for you, so let me sing this one for you
From every tour (from every tour o yea yea), every show
You're my lucky charm (you're my lucky charm),go wherever I go
Momma Ima sing this (Ima sing it) one to you, (Just let me sing it)
Momma let me sing (whoa yea) this one to you
[Verse 3]
(oo'oo)
Momma I thank you for all you've done (oo'oo)
I thank God everyday I'm your son (oh)
(You gave) You gave me everything that I need
But lovin' me unconditionally...
Everybody say... "M-O-M-M-A"
Everybody say... momma

You know that this is your song
[Chorus]
It's straight from the heart (oh momma)
This is your song (aye)

Take a look what's be going on behind me
I swear to God this ain't no making of my own
That stupid cupid arrow
Lost for years and never found me
Now she's dancing on my history
And she drives the dagger home
'Cause when I see that angel walking past my window
When I see that angel walking past my door
I know what this tired old heart's been waiting, waiting for
Boom boom
Boom boom
And I can't win
There ain't no us denying
So many years of experience
Tell me it's so
That stupid cupid arrow
Lost for years and never found me
Now she's dancing on my history
And she drives the dagger home
'Cause when I see that angel walking past my window
When I see that angel walking past my door
I know what this tired old heart's been waiting, waiting for
Boom boom
Boom boom
<@#Chris_Rea_Bows_And_Bangles.txt#@>
Born and raised in wilderness
Of suburban shops and schools
How she tried and tried to be satisfied
With a job on the typing pool
She hated the smell of carbon paper
The office so smoky and dry
How she longed for the day she would make her get away
And say her last goodbye
Bows and bangles on her fingers
And silver bells on her toes
That lady has music where she wonders
That lady has music where she goes
Married a guy with prospects
And so became his wife
And that my friend is the end of the story
'Cause that was the rest of his life
She could have been a movie star
She could have made the scene
Right or wrong she still hangs on
Each night to her favourite dream
Bows and bangles on her fingers
And silver bells on her toes
That lady has music where she wonders
That lady has music where she goes
<@#Chris_Rea_Come_So_Far_Yet_Still_So_Far_To_Go.txt#@>
I'm chained to the highway, there's no other way for me
Always looking for a new day, always a dream ahead of me
Seems like it's so many lifetimes, through the sunshine, rain and snow
Yeah I come so far, but I still got so far to go
Yes I come so far, but I still got so far to go
Solo
I'm gonna end up dyin' my body is listening for you
But you may as well be gone already if you say dreams can't come true
There's been good times there's been bad, but I still love the show
Yeah I've come so far, but I still got so far to go
Yeah I come so far, but I still got so far to go
Yeah I come so far, but I still got so far to go
Still got so far to go
Solo
Yeah I've come so far, but I still got so far to go
<@#Chris_Rea_Crack_That_Mould.txt#@>
You got to break the back of the mold you were made in
Crack the shell, that's how it's got to be
Nothing for certain, ain't no way of knowing
Only believe in things that you see
Flow with the river, run with the tide
Mix with your brother, 'cause he's right by your side
Crack that mold
Little pretty chicken you can't stay in there forever
Now there ain't no such thing as only one kind of weather
You got to bend, learn, take the rough with the smooth
Understand everything
Crack that mold
Now there ain't no such thing as only one kind of weather
Pick up them shoes, go running down that road
You know that precondition is such a heavy load
You got to live love, put down that written word
Crack that mold
Now there ain't no such thing as only one kind of weather

Every second counts
That's what he says

All through the night time
All through the day time
Can't let your world pass through and into my way
Every second counts
He can't slow down
Every second counts
See him spin around
He's chasing his shadow
He's racing the wind
He tells us to follow
Where the ice is so thin
I hope you're holding on
I hope you're holding on

Don't ask me how long baby it's gonna take
I don't know honey, just give it a break
Love don't happen to you overnight
You got to feed it, leave it
Give it some light
Oh love, true love
When it looks like you're winning
Get it right on tee
And the stars shine so brightly
Just for you and me
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
Is that when it stays for you and me?
With every ray of sunshine sugar
There's little bit of rain
You got to take the bad times with the good times
'Cause no love's the same
Oh love, true love
When it looks like you're winning
Get it right on tee
And the stars shine so brightly
Just for you and me
For ever and ever babe
Is that what it takes?
For ever and ever babe
That's when it stays

For ever and ever she'll stay

Is that what it takes?

<@#Chris_Rea_Freeway.txt#@>
She throws her hair into the February breeze
She hears it singing through the branches of the trees
A song of something you know so well
And she's still looking for a freeway
She hears the sound of distant planes across the sky
She catches fleeting glimpse of fading red tail lights
Into tomorrow she gently sleeps
And she's still dreaming of a freeway
Far away, there's a piece of luck somewhere
Shining like a star in the night
Dream on lady, till the early morning light
Takes your dream to be free away

I was never born with the face of a

I was never blessed with an easyload
along the way
I have taken the wrong turning
So many times I can't remember
But one thing I have for sure
I can always smile and say
God gave me an angel with a smiling
face
God gave me an angel this I know
My churches are all empty and I'm guilty
every day
But god gave me an angel anyway
Talk of being good and what became of
me
Do I hide my head in shame and turn
away
I have taken the wrong turning
So many times I can't remember
But one thing I have for sure
I can always smile and say
But God gave me an angel with a smiling
face
God gave me an angel this I know
My churches are all empty and I'm guilty
every day
But god gave me an angel anyway

She talks like thunder
She really lets you know
She keep changing the rules
And leave you nowhere to go
She bore you rigid with the party line
She's so far left she's gonna get left behind
He wants six pretty white spots on each side of the dice
He wants it all to be equal but he needs to throw twice
Now there's a guy in the corner with a smiling gaze
He turns to me and says
I'm gonna buy a hat
'cause I think it's gonna rain
Got caught out coming here
Ain't gonna get caught again
I'm gonna buy a big one
Like that Mr Gorbachov
And when it's raining all this crap
Oh my hat will keep it off
Now take a look at all them leaders
Desperation in their eyes
The tight faces smiles that cannot hide it
They know no more than you or I
So I'm gonna buy a hat
'cause here they come again
And when the start to blah-blah
It's you and me that gets the rain

And every single step I take

There's a storm on my radar
But I can still fly
And you are the reason

In the coldest of winters

Come looking for a rainbow
Yea we're looking for a rainbow
Well we come down to the valley
We ain't far away no more
You can't leave us dying this time
'cause we're all around your door
Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Yea we're looking for a rainbow
<@#Chris_Rea_Marvin.txt#@>
Oh Marvin,
Seems so long
But I still remember you
I would have given everything
If I could have talked to you
For just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away
Oh Marvin
The one who wanted,
The one that could not stay
With a flash of illusion
Oh the big one that got away
Just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away
Oh Marvin
Oh Marvin
Oh how we miss you
Oh how we wish somehow
I could hold onto your wings
And fly away
Because the pain you knew
Was the pain I knew too
Misunderstood like the
thorn of a rose
Before the summer came,
Your beauty washed away
Like pretty petals in the wind and rain
<@#Chris_Rea_On_The_Beach.txt#@>
Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind those guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
Down on the beach
The secrets of the summer I will keep
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No-one but you and I
Underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach
Forever in my dreams my heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire
And a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach
<@#Chris_Rea_One_Golden_Rule.txt#@>
There's a heart in the middle of somewhere tonight
Screaming for reasons or just a way out
I put the shirt off my back on a wager that says
There's one every night from my old school yard days
I hear you say one golden rule
One golden rule
There's been times I've been stood in the wind and the rain
Freezing and busted and tricked out of luck
And I cursed my teachers for all of their reading
What we needed most can't be found in them books
One golden rule
Now they teach you to swim but they don't speak of the danger
Tell you the truth but they never say why
Put you on ice that is thin and tell you it's winter
Without one golden rule the truth is a lie
One golden rule
<@#Chris_Rea_Raincoat_And_A_Rose.txt#@>
Rain, tears of joy, tears of pain
Is this really me
Standing here at the station
The card said I mustn't be late
I've never been late
I've never really had the chance
Years and years and not even wanting a second chance
'Look for a raincoat and a rose'
I hope no one sees, they'll laugh I know
He was always like that, yes it always showed
Did I do something wrong to have to pay
In many more ways than one
Rainy day, what do I say
How simple it's all become
Love is for fools and fools have no grace
Damn them while you can
Out here on the fence is such a lonely place
I wish I was foolish now
The greatest of pain is never really knowing
Maybe today I'll find out this way
The way that I'm going
<@#Chris_Rea_Shamrock_Diaries.txt#@>
In waves of people you can lose your feet
You've got to stay hard, to the ground
It gets so easy now to lose your way
When you're ever outward bound
A church bell ringing in the fading light
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
The ghost of yesteryear's is toughing you
And as sure as God you'll fall
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like it used to be
And all the reasons why it started out
Hit you hard with every bell
The choir practice in the empty hall
Is a sound that you know so well
Like something lost inside your overcoat
You find it later, by mistake
You lost it all a thousand years ago
And you pray it's not too late
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like it used to be
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like a diary
Now I remember everything
Yea I remember how it used to be
With every note that choirboy sings
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like it used to be
<@#Chris_Rea_Sing_A_Song_Of_Love_To_Me.txt#@>
Sing a song of love to me
As the shadows start to grow
And I won't be sad and lonely
Anymore
'Cause if you sing a song of love to me
I will always find a smile
That will warm my cold cold heart
Just for a while
Songs of love
I know so well
I've seen some days
And had some times
Lucky boy I can hear you say
You think my sun does nothing but shine
Sing a song of love to me
One more time before I go
And I won't be sad and lonely
No I won't be sad and lonely
Anymore
<@#Chris_Rea_Square_Peg,_Round_Hole.txt#@>
He's a square peg in a round hole
Misfit in a slick world
Don't play the game
Don't do what he's told
He's a square peg in a round hole
Square peg don't care
The bright lights he's not there
Catch the shadows see him slip away
Square peg that's what they say
Square peg, Square peg
Square peg, you have got to be strong
Square peg, he's got his own song
Square peg, I'll see you around
Square peg, face down
Square peg, round hole
<@#Chris_Rea_Still_Beautiful.txt#@>
I see a million torn up moments
Of the rarest happiness
Each one a dancing snowflake
A piece of memory
It's the ghost of days gone by
Lay them tight across this old town
In the silence of your smiling face
You move to me
And you are still beautiful
You are still beautiful
In this cold white night
Still shining bright
Still beautiful
Regrets the cold wind that I know
And it will not let me be
And hopes your smiling face
Can still can set me free
And you are still beautiful
You are still beautiful
In this cold white night
Still shining bright
Still beautiful
<@#Chris_Rea_The_Road_To_Hell.txt#@>
Stood still on a highway I saw a woman by the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own
Reflected in my window.
Well she walked up to my quarter light and she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralyzed me in my shadows.
She said, Son
What are you doing here?
My fear for you has turned me in my grave.
I said, Mama
I come to the valley of the rich
Myself to sell.
She said, Son
This is the road to hell.
On your journey 'cross the wilderness from the desert to the well
You have strayed upon the motorway to hell.
<@#Christina_Aguilera_Abandont.txt#@>
She sits alone,
In the abandon't corner, of her room, (oh her room)
Lost her life, her lovely past, ooo ooo ooo ooo
She used to love, feel and have compation,
But now Her life has lead nowhere, nowhere(hold 4 count)
(Chorus)
She feels attached,
And can't come loose,
Like strings holding on,
She can't let go,
She begs and pleads,
As she tries to relase,
And falls to her knees (hold 4 counts)
What's holding her back?
No one has know,
Maybe her shadow,
The shadow of doom,
She is miserable each day, each week
While tears begin to run down her cheeks
Hoping for her day to come, (hold 4 counts)
For her to pry loose,
The day has not begun... (o when?)
(Chorus)
She feels attached,
And can't come loose,
Like strings holding on,
She can't let go,
She begs and pleads,
As she tries to relase,
And falls to her kneeeees
(Oh Oh hold last "oh" 4 counts)
Stings, Strings,
They hold her back,
No one has notcied,
Or cared,
No one knows,
What's she is really like,
Deep down inside,
Oh What's there to hide?
She is nervous, frightened, scared and weak,
She must peer or peak from that...
Corner of the room,
Open her eyes, and face doom (hold doom 4 counts)
(Slower)
Maybe she has, maybe she did,
She woke up one day and saw the light,
Her love and compasion, had all faded away,
As she ran through her shadow, and began to
Beg and plead as she fell to her knees and finally,
She broke loose
<@#Christina_Aguilera_At_Last.txt#@>
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days over
And life is like a song
At last
The skies above are blue
Well my heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known well
You smile
You smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Well
You smile
You smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
Ooo yea
You are mine
You are mine
At last
At last
At last
At last
<@#Christina_Aguilera_Badass.txt#@>
Ooohhhhh!
I could feel it from the start,
Couldn't stand to be apart.
Something about you caught my eye,
Something moved me deep inside!
Don't know what you did boy but
You had it and I've been hooked ever since.
I told my mother, my brother, my sister and my friend
I told the others, my lovers, both past and present tense.
Everytime I see you everything starts making sense.
Just do your thang honey!
[Chorus:]
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(What you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style with your bad ass - oh yeah!
Ain't no other man it's true - all right -
Ain't no other man but you.
Just do your thang honey!
Never thought I'd be all right. No, no, no!
Till you came and changed my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
What was cloudy now is clear! Yeah, yeah!
You're the light that I needed.
You got what I want boy, and I want it!
So keep on givin' it up!
Tell your mother, your brother, your sister, and your friend.
And the others, your lovers, better not be present tense.
Cause I want everyone to know that you are mine and no one else's!
Oooooooo, oh!
[Chorus:]
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(What you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class. You got style your bad ass - oh yeah!
Ain't no other man it's true - all right -
Ain't no other man but you.
Break it down now!
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other! (other)
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other lover!
Ain't no other, I, I, I need no other!
Ain't no other man but you!
Ohhhh!
You are there when I'm a mess
Talk me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test
[Chorus:]
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(What you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
(You're the kinda guy, a girl finds oooo yeahh)
You got soul, you got class.
You got style your bad ass - oh yeah!
Ain't no other man it's true - all right -
Ain't no other man but you.
And now I'm tellin' you, so ain't no other man but you.
[Chorus:]
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(What you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style your bad ass - oh yeah!
Ain't no other man it's true - all right -
Ain't no other man but you.
<@#Christina_Aguilera_Dynamite.txt#@>
Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
Racing to the top with golden rays of light
I never felt so free and yet so dangerous
The night was electronic painted red with lust
I move, you chase, we magnetize
A time I was exploding with no warning sign
[Chorus]
Dynamite
Electrify me all night
Dynamite
Just give it to me, I won't bite
Dynamite
You make me feel, it's alright
Dynamite
Shine it on me
Caught up in this moment I was hypnotized
Shake this feeling got me paralyzed
I do, I don't, I think I might
My body was electric like a flashing light
[Chorus]
A change, a change is coming
A change, a change is coming
All around me that a change is bout to happen
The energy igniting has become my inspiration
If you take a deeper look you'll find the information
I'm only just a figment of controlled imagination
[Chorus]
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh) Electrify me
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh) I won't bite
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh) Just give it to me
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh o-uh o-uh)
Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
(o-o-uh o-uh o-uh) Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
(o-o-uh o-uh o-uh) Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
(Yeah, give it to me)
(Uh, oh)
(Uh, oh)
<@#Christina_Aguilera_Get_Mine,_Get_Yours.txt#@>
Baby you pretend that things ain't what they seem
All this tension telling me just exactly what we should be
Now I don't mind us being some kind of casual thing
Listen, all I want to do right now is have your contact on me
[Chorus]
Can you put your hands my waistline
Want your skin up against mine
Move my hips to the baseline
Let me get mine, you get yours
Hang a please don't disturb sign
Put my back into a slow grind
Sending chills up and down my spine
Let me get mine, you get yours
If you see me with a man
Understand that you can't question me
The feelings that you call, it ain't my fault
It can't help your jealousy
If you can handle the fact that
What we have has got to be commitment free
Then we can keep this undercover lovin' comin', hittin'
Underneath the sheets
[Chorus]
Now listen
So, come on and freak my body
We can get nasty, naughty
All night a private party
Gotta hit that spot just right
Work me like a 9 to 5
It ain't about the kissin' and huggin'
Cause this is a physical lovin'
Straight sweatin', our bodies are rubbin'
Gotta hit that spot just right
Work me like a 9 to 5
We have a physical thing
We'll make love, but don't fall in love
Let me get mine, you get yours
You spend time
Just enough so you get yours, and I get mine
No strings attached
I want your body, not your heart
Let me get mine, you get yours
[Chorus: x2]
Come here
Don't be shy
I won't bite
Let me get mine, you get yours
<@#Christina_Aguilera_Infatuation.txt#@>
Ooh oh, hey
Hey, oh oh, hey
He comes from a foreign place
An island far away
Intrigues me with every move
Til' I'm breathless, I'm helpless
Can't keep my cool
Steals my heart when he takes my hand
And we dance, to the rhythm of the band
I feel his finger tips, grip my hips
And I slip as we dip into a rare bliss
Mama used to warn me
To beware of those Latin lovers
She said I gave my heart too soon
And that's how I became your mother
I said hey mama, you seem to forget
I'm not in love yet
Sweet talk don't win me over
But I realized
Big brown eyes can hypnotize
When he says
I am full blood boricua
Reads the tattoo on his arm
He tells me, mami I need ya
And my heartbeat pumps so strong
Getting lost in el ritmo
He whispers te quiero, te quiero
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
It's pure infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
Hey
Skin the color of cinnamon
His eyes light up and I melt within
Feels so good it must be a sin
I can't stop what I started
I'm giving in
He brings life to my fantasies
Sparks a passion inside of me
Finds the words when I can not speak
In the silence, his heartbeat is music to me
Mama used to warn me
Not to rush love with another
She said I'm not trying to lecture
I just care about my daughter
Ay mama, you seem to forget
I never will let
A man control my emotions
But when he smiles (when he smiles)
I feel like a little child
When he says
I am full blood boricua
Reads the tattoo on his arm (whoa, whoa)
He tells me, mami I need ya
And my heartbeat pumps so strong (so strong)
Getting lost in el ritmo
He whispers te quiero, te quiero
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
It's pure infatuation
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)
Caught between my mama's words
And what I feel inside
I'm wanting to explore his world
But a part of me wants to hide
Should I risk it, can't resist it
This has caught me by surprise
Should I, let him take me to Puerto Rico
I can't hold back no more
Let's go tonight
Ooh, hey
You adore me, never be lonely, oh
I am full blood boricua (boricua)
Reads the tattoo on his arm (on his arm)
He tells me, mami I need ya
And my heartbeat pumps so strong (so strong)
Getting lost in el ritmo
He whispers te quiero, te quiero (oh, quiero)
I begin to give in with no hesitation
Can't help my infatuation
I can't help, what I'm feeling
Infatuated
Oh oh, oh
Infatuation
Hey

We are the stars up in the sky
We light the darkness you and I
We are the flicker in the night
Never shine so bright
We are the strong and though we fall
We fought for love we risked it all
Never back down against the walls
It's what we're living for yeah
Keep on rising higher
Blazing through the fire
Right down to the wire
Rise the fire higher
As we stand together
Chase our dreams forever
Forever, forever, forever
Now we have wings we can fly
We can be kings you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
Now we have wings we can fly
We can be kings you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
Although the road ahead was long
I was too weak to carry on
You picked me up you were my home
I never stood alone
No one can tell us what we want
No one can stop us anymore
No looking back we're moving forward
No one can take this moment away
Keep on rising higher
Blazing through the fire
Right down to the wire
Rise the fire higher
As we stand together
Chase our dreams forever
Forever, forever, forever
Now we have wings we can fly
We can be kings you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
Now we have wings we can fly
We can be kings you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
When skies are grey
I'll light your way
I'll be your shoulder
You can lean on me
When skies are grey
I'll light your way
I'll be your shoulder
You can lean on me
Now we have wings we can fly
We can be kings you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
Now we have wings we can fly
We can be kings you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
We light up the sky
Light up the sky
We light up the sky
We light up the sky
<@#Christina_Aguilera_Loving_Me_4_Me.txt#@>
People ask if I'm in love with you
Because I'm sitting here with your picture
And smiling to myself
I'm kinda lost in my own thoughts of you
My heart speaks before my mind thinks through
And I blush as I say yes
What a feeling of vulnerability coming over me
And I'm feeling weak and I can't speak
Never thought I'd give in so willingly to a human being
With abilities to set me free
Free, make me be me
Makes me want to say
Your lips, your love, your smile, your kiss
I must admit it's a part of me
You please me, complete me, believe me
Like a melody
Your soul, your flow, your youth, your truth is simply proof
We were meant to be
But the best quality that's hookin' me
Is that you're loving me for me
Is that you're loving me for me
People ask why I'm in love with you
Well, let me start by saying
You got my heart by just being who you are
And what we got is between me and you
It doesn't matter about the money I make
Or what I do, or that I'm a, huh, a star
Unconditionally you're there for me
Undeniably you inspire me, spiritually, so sweet
This is meaningful, is incredible, pleasurable, unforgettable
The way I feel, so sweet
Makes me want to say
Your lips, your love, your smile, your kiss
I must admit it's a part of me
You please me, complete me, believe me
Like a melody
Your soul, your flow, your youth, your truth is simply proof
We were meant to be
But the best quality that's hookin' me
Is that you're loving me for me
Is that you're loving me for me
Its so amazing how something so sweet
Has come and rearranged my life
I've been kissed by destiny
Oh, heaven came and saved me
An angel was placed at my feet
This isn't ordinary, he's loving me for me
Stripped of all make up, no need for fancy clothes
No cover ups, push ups
With him, I don't have to put on a show
He loves every freckle, every curve, every inch of my skin
Fulfilling me entirely, taking all of me in
He's real,he's honest, he's loving me for me
Yeah
<@#Christina_Aguilera_Mulan.txt#@>
Look at me, you may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day it's as if I play a part
Now I see if I wear a mask, I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
I am now in a world where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow I will show the world what's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
Why is my reflection someone I
Don't know
Must I pretend that I'm someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
There's a hope that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal what we think, how we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I wont pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
When will my reflection show
Who I am, inside

You know tonight
I am feeling a little out control
Is this me
You wanna get crazy
Because I don't give a
I'm out of character
I'm in rare form
And If you really knew me
You'd know its not the norm
'Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do
The old me's gone I feel brand new
And if you don't like it fuck you
The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care 'cause this is my night
I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl
I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl
I'm dancing a lot and I'm taking shots and I'm feeling fine
I'm kissing all the boys and the girls
Someone call the doctor 'cause I lost my mind
'Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do
The old me's gone I feel brand new
And if you don't like it fuck you
The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care cause this is my night
I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl
I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl
In the morning
When I wake up
I'll go back to the girl I used to be
But baby not tonight
I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl
I'm not myself tonight
Tonight I'm not the same girl same girl
Yeah, that feels good
I needed that
Get crazy
Let's go
That's right
Come on
Give it to me now, don't stop
<@#Christina_Aguilera_Obvious.txt#@>
Can you hear it in my voice
Was it something I let slip
Does the whole world know
Isn't it obvious?
I'm the one who's in control
Now I'm acting like a fool
Do my feelings show?
Is my face aglow?
Isn't it obvious?
[Chorus]
That I don't know what I'm doing anymore
I'm feeling like a little girl
Caught up in emotions
I'm out of control
Isn't it obvious?
Do you see my hands they tremble
Wonder why I can't look you in the eyes
Don't know how long
I can keep this inside
Isn't it obvious?
[Chorus]
Suddenly these emotions are in control of my heart
Can you see it in my eyes
Every glance, every smile
Must give me away
And I feel so much I can't hide
[Chorus]
<@#Christina_Aguilera_Prima_Donna.txt#@>
Tonight it's on
Play my song
It's a celebration
I worked a long week
And now there is no hesitation
I need a drink or two
Make that a few
I ain't waiting
Yes, yes I'm gone
And you know I got no time for wasting
Gonna forget my troubles
'Cause it's a special night
Not going to stress on nothing
I'm feeling quite alright
If it's your birthday baby
I'm going to grant your wish
This is a private party
VIP in this bitch
I'm a prima donna

A little fun
Never killed, never hurt nobody
So grab a glass, and raise it up
Baby work your body
Ain't nothing wrong, just go on
If you're feeling naughty
Yes, yes I'm grown
And I don't need a judgment on me
Gonna forget my troubles
'Cause it's a special night
Not going to stress on nothing
I'm feeling quite alright
If it's your birthday baby
I'm going to grant your wish
This is a private party

<@#Christina_Aguilera_Sing_For_Me.txt#@>
Sometimes when I'm sitting on my bed
Feeling so so lonely
Wishing someone hold me
All I have is three little notes playing in my head
Outside I can cover all the scars
Inside lie the words just pleading to be heard
'Cause all I have are three million melodies to kill all the hurt
Now I'm ready gonna sing 'em all out
Sing 'em out just for myself
I don't even care what the world thinks about how I sound
'Cause when I open my mouth
My whole heart comes out
Every tear I wanna cry is satisfied
I'm singing till I'm winning, Imma sing all night
'Cause when I open my mouth
There's no place to hide
Everything that I've been feeling runs wild and free
I'm singing 'cause, I'm winning Imma sing for me
I stand and believe in who I am
Take shots at my heart but who am I to give up
Everybody needs a melody to set their souls free
My stage is the greatest in the world
Give back to the ones who struggle with me stay true
Reminding me to see my only chosen destiny
And now I'm ready now I'm gonna sing it all out
Sing it out just for myself
I don't even care what the world thinks about how I sound
'Cause when I open my mouth
My whole heart comes out
Every tear I wanna cry is satisfied
I'm singing till I'm winning Imma sing all night
'Cause when I open my mouth
There's no place to hide
Everything that I've been feeling runs wild and free
I'm singing 'cause I'm winning Imma sing for me
Sing for me (Sing for me)
Sing for myself
Sing what I believe
Make my whole heart come out
Right where I am let the rain come down
Sing for me (Sing for me)
Sing for myself, sing what I believe
Let my whole heart come out
Right here right now make my own, my very own sound
'Cause when I open my mouth
My whole heart comes out
Every tear I wanna cry is satisfied
I'm singing till I'm winning Imma sing all night
'Cause when I open my mouth
There's no place to hide
Everything that I've been feeling runs wild and free
I'm singing 'cause I'm winning Imma sing for me

When I try to describe
How I feel when you hold me
I get butterflies
I hear lullabies
It's hard to explain
Like the scent of a rose
Or the sound of the rain
Is too precious and too wonderful
To give it a name
Too beautiful for words
A symphony inside me
Too beautiful for words
I can not take them lightly
Can you hear my silent heart
It's on the tip of my tongue
But my lips are still sealed
Only violins
And then innocence
Can show you how I feel
And I hear them again
At the end of the day
I'm all teary eyed
When we kissed goodbye
There's nothing I can say
Too beautiful for words
A symphony inside me
Too beautiful for words, oh
I can not take them lightly
Can you hear my silent heart
Must be a million times
I tried to express this love of mine
When it goes this deep
When it tastes this sweet
It's not easy to define, ohh
Too beautiful for words (too beautiful)
A symphony inside me (a symphony inside of me)
Too beautiful for words (for words)
I can not take them lightly
Too beautiful for words (too beautiful ohh)
A symphony inside me (a symphony, oh)
Too beautiful for words (ohh, too beautiful baby)
I can not take them lightly
Can you hear my silent heart
Ohh yeah, yeah, oooh...

What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthem sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This is Christ the Lord
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christian fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
This is Christ the Lord
Whom shepards guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrh
Come peasant king to own Him
The King of Kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
This is Christ the Lord
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

As lately we watch'd o'er our fields thro' the night,
A star there was seen of such glorious light.
All thro' the night, angels did sing
Carols so sweet of the birth of a King.
A King of such beauty was ne'er before seen,
And Mary His mother so like a queen.
Blessed be the hour, welcome the morn,
For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born.
His throne is a manger, His court is a loft,
But troops of bright angels, in lays sweet and soft,
Him they proclaim, our Christ by name,
And earth, sky and air straight are filled with his fame.
Then shepherds, be joyful
<@#Christmas_Songs_Baby_Its_Cold_Outside.txt#@>
I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to get home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Brr it's cold...
It's cold out there
Can't you stay awhile longer baby
Well... I really shouldn't... Alright
Make it worth your while baby
Ahh, do that again...
<@#Christmas_Songs_Christmas_In_Hollis.txt#@>
It was December 24th on Hollis Ave after dark
When I see a man chilling with his dog in the park
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear
Looked at his dog, oh my God, an illin' reindeer
But then I was illin' because the man had a beard
And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared
So I turned my head a second and the man had gone
But he must have dropped his wallet smack down on the lawn
I picket the wallet up then I took a pause
Took out the license and it cold said "Santa Claus"
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G's
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease
But I'd never steal from Santa, cause that ain't right
So I was going home to mail it back to him that night
But when I got home I bugged, cause under the tree
Was a letter from Santa and the dough's for me
It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens
Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees
Decorate the house with lights at night
Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright
In the fireplace is the yule log
Beneath the mistle toe as we drink egg nog
The rhymes that you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's
But each and every year we bust Chrsitmas carols
Rhymes so loud and proud you hear it
It's Christmas time and we got the spirit
Jack Frost chillin, the orchids out
And that's what Christmas is all about
The time is now, the place is here
And the whole wide world is filled with cheer
My name's D. M. C. With the mic in my hand
And I'm chilling and coolin' just like a snowman
So open your eyes, lend us an ear
We want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
<@#Christmas_Songs_Christmas_Without_You.txt#@>
White Christmas and I'm blue
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The fireplace keeps burning and my thoughts keep turning
The pages of memories of time spent with you
Old christmas songs we knew and used to make love to
Make it hard to get used to
Christmas without you
[Chorus:]
Christmas without you
White christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you
So sad but so true
Christmas without you
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The sweetest gift I know would be if the new snow
Could fall on your footsteps on this Christmas eve
The most joyous christmas if luck could be with us
Would be if Saint Nicholas brought you home to me

If we could make believe
If everyone would give a little more

And I wonder if he can hear me.

Hey Santa (Santa)
Bring my baby home tonight
Why does it feel like it's colder than winter
Even by the fire side
My baby said that he'd be home for Christmas
And now it's almost midnight
Christmas lights up and down the street
Are such a sight to see
But all the presents by the tree
They don't mean a thing 'til he's with me

And I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in saying what you mean and meaning what you say
I believe a better attitude can make a better way
I believe in viewing life as a journey that we're on
And lookin' at our troubles as another stepping stone
And I believe that everthing in life is what it's meant to be
I believe there is a God somewhere although He's hard to see
I believe I am so therefore I should do all that I can
To be a better piece in the puzzle of God's plan
And I believe in Santa Claus

In the bleak midwinter
Frost wind made moan
Earth stood
Hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago
Our god
Heaven cannot hold him
Nor earth sustain
Heaven and Earth
Shall flee away
When he comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter
A stable place sufficed
The lord God almighty
Jesus Christ
Angels and archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But his mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the beloved
With a kiss
What can I give him
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet
What I can I give him
Give my heart

(Eddie Pola, George Wyle, 1963)
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
With the kids jingle belling,
And everyone telling you,
"Be of good cheer,"
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be parties for hosting,
Marshmallows for toasting and
Caroling out in the snow.
There'll be scary ghost stories and
Tales of the glories of Christmases
Long, long ago.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing,
When loved ones are near.
It's the most wonderful time of the year

Long is the journey the wise men will make
While out through the darkness there shines a bright light
And into the morning the world will rejoice
Listen to the drummer boy, beating on the drum
Shepherds gather closer to wait for the dawn
And off in the distance the Child that is born
Is sleeping softly in the peace of the morn
[Chorus:]
Now the bells ring, now the bells ring
The goods news has come
The message is clear now
The world is reborn
Now hear the children singing His praise
All of the world will remember this day
While all through the ages,
This story has been told
And down through the pages the miracle unfolds
[Chorus:]
Now hear the children, singing His praise
(Praise to the Child that is born)
All of the world will remember this day
(On this Christmas Day morn)
While all through the ages, this story has been told
And down through the pages the miracle unfolds
[Chorus 2x]

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave

Our spirits by Thine advent here

<@#Christy_Moore_A_Letter_To_Syracuse.txt#@>
I wrote me a letter to Syracuse, it was a letter full of
Lies
I told them that we were doing fine, very much to their
Surprise
For how were they to know that here the ground was soaked
In red
Or that we could fill the valley with our dead.
I started out and told them that by Christmas we'd begin
To pack our bags and head on home to bring the new year
In
While all around me boys who help me sow last season's
Crop
By charging at the cannons till they drop
I told my mother not to write cause we're always moving
On
I told my brother not to join cause he'd only fight me
Gun
But if we keep on much further retreating all the way
Oh we'd all be going home just any day.

See the bright new moon is rising,
Above the land of black and green
Hear the rebels voices calling,
I will not die 'till you bury me
The aunt upstairs in the bed she is calling,
Why has he forsaken me
Faded pictures in the hallway,
Which one of them brown ghosts is he
Bless the wind that shakes the barley,
Curse the spade and curse the plough
I've counted years and weeks and days,
And I wish to God I was with you now
Fare thee well me black-haired diamond,
Fare thee well me own Aisling
At night fond dreams of you still haunt me,
Far across the grey north sea
And the wind it blows from the North and South,
To the East And to the West
I will be like the wind my love,
For I will know no rest 'till I return to thee
1, 2, 3 telegraph poles,
Standing on the cold black road
The night is fading into morning,
Give us a drop of your sweet poitin
The rain was lashing - the sun was rising,
The wind was howling through the trees
The madness from the mountains crawling,
When I saw you first my own Aisling
Bless the wind that shakes the barley,
Curse the spade and curse the plough
I've counted years and weeks and days,
And I wish to God I was with you now
Fare thee well my black haired diamond,
Fare thee well my own Aisling
At night fond dreams of you still haunt me,
Far across the grey north sea
<@#Christy_Moore_Back_Home_In_Derry.txt#@>
In 1803 we sailed out to sea
Out from the sweet town of Derry
For Australia bound if we didn't all drown
And the marks of our fetters we carried
In our rusty iron chains we cried for our weans
Our good women we left in sorrow
As the mainsails unfurled, our curses we hurled
On the English, and thoughts of tomorrow
At the mouth of the Foyle, bid farewell to the soil
As down below decks we were lying
O'Doherty screamed, woken out of a dream
By a vision of bold Robert dying
The sun burned cruel as we dished out the gruel
Dan O'Connor was down with a fever
Sixty rebels today bound for Botany Bay
How many will meet their reciever
Chorus
Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
I cursed them to hell as her bow fought the swell
Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight
White horses rode high as the devil passed by
Taking souls to Hades by twilight
Five weeks out to sea, we were now forty-three
We buried our comrades each morning
In our own slime we were lost in a time
Of endless night without dawning
Chorus
Van Diemen's land is a hell for a man
To end out his whole life in slavery
Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law
Neither wind nor rain care for bravery
Twenty years have gone by, I've ended my bond
My comrades ghosts walk behind me
A rebel I came - I'm still the same
On the cold winters night you will find me
Chorus
<@#Christy_Moore_Bridgets_Pill.txt#@>
Bridget O'Reilly was a fine looking girl
Well, her skin was like ivory and her teeth shone like
Pearls
The fellas all chased her in vain til one day
She went and got married to Barney O'Shea
They'd been married a year, when to their pride and joy
Along came a baby, a fine strapping boy
When three years had past, they'd two boys and a girl
How to feed them and clothe them made Bridget's head
Whirl
Bridget went to the priest, she was near desperation
Because of this process of constant gestation
O Father, this business is making me I'll
Would it be a sin if I took to the Pill?
The priest heard her story and when he had heard it
To higher authorities, perplexed, he referred it
The bishops were baffled, the cardinals too
Not one could tell Bridget just what she should do
Two years they debated with holy profundity
What should be done about Bridget's fecundity
For now Bridget's children amounted to five
And she scarcely was able to keep them alive
They gave due attention to points theological
Points philosophic and physiological
Til in desperation, the Pope cried, o sod
There's just one thing to do, I'd best go and ask God
So the Pope sent a letter by five penny post
On Papal notepaper, addressed, Holy Ghost
Come send me an answer in double quick time
You can reach me at home, just ring vat 69
The Pope got his answer and then he announced it
Oral contraception, he thoroughly denounced it
All chemical means to prevent procreation
Are banned on the pain or eternal damnation
If we were to allow it, unashamed fornication
Would spread like a flash to all parts of the nation
There'd be plagues, fire, and famine and moral
Pollution
Atheistical notions and red revolution
And the Lord knows what women would do with their lives
If they weren't kept so busy as mothers and wives
They might get ideas not befitting their station
And wind up in women's or gay liberation
So Bridget, my dear, there's no need for frustration
Because of the banning of this medication
The Church, she is merciful, holy, and gracious
Surely the old rhythm method you'll find efficacious
Away now, said Bridget, I'll have none of your row
For I tried it before and just look at me now
Whatever I did, we continued to breed
And she's off to the chemists with maximum speed
Now the Church is in ferment, in great trepidation
Lest such thought should spread to the whole
Congregation
And they've issued a record to prevent a schism
By the Pope and the Hierarchy, called, I've got rhythm
<@#Christy_Moore_Giuseppe.txt#@>
Every time I go to London
I think about Giuseppe Conlon
Who left his home in Belfast
And travelled over to his son
As he said goodbye to Sarah
And took the boat to Heysham
Little did Giuseppe know
He'd never see that place again.
Giuseppe was an ailing man
And every breath he drew
Into his tired lungs
He used to maintain his innocence
Behind those walls
Behind those bars
For everyday remaining in his life
Maintaining his innocence
Giuseppe Conlon, Giuseppe.
<@#Christy_Moore_Lakes_Of_Pontchartrain.txt#@>
It was one fine March morning, I bid New Orleans Adieu
And I took the road to Jackson Town, my fortune to renew
I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain
Which filled my heart with a longing for, the Lakes of Ponchartrain
I stepped on board of a railroad car beneath the morning sun
I rode the rods till evening and I laid me down again
All strangers there no friends to me 'til a dark girl towards me came
And I fell in love with the Creole Girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
I said "Me pretty Creole Girl, me money here's no good,
If it weren't for the alligators, I'd sleep out there in the wood"
"You're welcome here kind stranger, Our house is very plain"
"But we never turned a stranger out, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain"
She took me into her mammy's house and treated me right well
The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell
To try and paint here beauty, I'm sure 'twould be in vain
So handsome was my Creole girl by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
I asked her if she'd marry me, she said that ne'er could be
For she had got a lover and he was far at sea
She said that she would wait for him and true she would remain
Till he'd return to his Creole girl, on the Lakes of Ponchartrain
It's fare thee well, me Creole girl, I'll never see you more
I'll never forget your kindness in the cottage by the shore
And at each social gathering, a flowing bowl I'll drain
And I'll drink a health to my Creole girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
<@#Christy_Moore_Natives.txt#@>
For all of our languages we can't communicate
For all of our native tongues we're all strangers here
Sons of their fathers' dream the same dream
The sound of forbidden words becomes a scream
Voices in anger, victims of history
Plundered and set aside, grow fat on swallowed pride
With promises of paradise and gifts of beads and knives
Missionaries and pioneers are soldiers in disguise
Saviours and conquerors, they make us wait
Like fishers of men they wave their truth like bait
But with the touch of a stranger's hand innocence turns to shame
The spirit that dwelt within now sleeps out in the rain
For all of our languages we can't communicate,
For all of our native tongues, we're all natives here
The scars of the past are slow to disappear
The cries of the dead are always in our ears
And only the very safe can talk about wrong and right
Of those who are forced to choose, some will choose to fight
<@#Christy_Moore_Reel_In_The_Flickering_Light.txt#@>
The Reel in the Flickering Light
By Christy Moore
As I was walking home one evenin'
I know this takes some believin'
I met a group of creatures
With the strangest lookin' features
A poor old dove and a worm in the weed
And a fine old pigeon, yes indeed
A daddy longlegs jumpet sprite
As he danced to the reel in the flickering light
Oh round we go, heel to the toe
And the daddy longlegs jumpet sprite
As he danced to the reel in the flickering light
On his thin and wispy spindles
He was deft and he was nimble
His eyes were scientific
And his dancing was terrific
And the rats and worms they made a din
And the nettles in the corners took it in
"Oh God" says I, "Tonight's the night"
"We'll dance to the reel in the flickering light"
Oh round we go, heel to the toe
"Oh God" says I "tonight's the night
We'll dance to the reel in the flickering light"
Then he looked at me directly
With a gaze that could dissect me
Then he asked me in a whisper
"Have you got any sisters?"
"Oh God almighty" says I to him
"What sort of a man d'you think I am?
I've only one she's not your type
She wouldn't dance the reel in the flickering light"
So round we go, heel to the toe
"I've only one she's not your type
She wouldn't dance a reel in the flickering light"
Says he:
"Does she come from another planet?
Does she got a bee in her bonnet?
Does she do her daily duties
You never know we might be suited"
And the rats and the worms began in to laugh
And some of them started shufflin' off
We're goin' to have some fun tonight
Getting ready for the reel in the flickering light
Oh round we go, heel to the toe
We're goin' to have some fun tonight
Getting ready for the reel in the flickering light
I could see he had no scruples
When I looked into his pupils
They were purple or magenta
Like a statue during lent
I said "I'll get her right away"
"Good man" says he "now don't delay"
We're going to have some fun tonight
And he flicked his legs in the flickering light.
Oh round we go, heel to the toe
We're goin' to have some fun tonight
And he flicked his legs in the flickering light.
Then up stepped a red carnation
and they gave her an ovation
She was warm and enchatin'
As she slowly started dancin'
And the wise old pigeon peeled his eye.
And the nettles and the weeds began to sigh.
Daddy longlegs said "my-oh-my
Are we ready for the reel in the flickering light? "
Oh round we go, heel to the toe
Daddy longlegs said "my-oh-my
Are we ready for the reel in the flickering light? "
She was gentle, she was charmin'
And I heard him call her "darlin'
He was graceful as a whisper
On his delicate legs of silver
And the rats and worms were still as mice
And the poor old pigeon said "That's nice"
As shimmering there, ah, the lovely bride
As they danced to the reel in the flickering light
Oh round we go, heel to the toe
As shimmering there, ah, the lovely bride
As they danced to the reel in the flickering light
Oh round we go, heel to the toe
As shimmering there, ah, the lovely bride
As they danced to the reel in the flickering light
<@#Christy_Moore_Section_31.txt#@>
Who are they to decide what we should hear?
Who are they to decide what we should see?
What do they think we can't comprehend here?
What do they fear that our reaction might be, might be?
CHORUS
Section 31 on the TV
Section 31 on the radio
Section 31 is like a blindfold
Section 31 makes me feel cold, feel cold.
The pounding of the footsteps in the early morning light,
Another family waking to an awful deadly fright.
There's a body on the pavement with a bullet to the jaw,
A thirteen-year-old victim of plastic bullet law.
The silence in my ears, the darkness in my eyes,
Heightens the fear, deafens the cries.
Of another brother taken in another act of hate.
A family preparing for another dreadful wait.
CHORUS
<@#Christy_Moore_Shine_On_You_Crazy_Diamond.txt#@>
Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger
You legend
You martyr
And shine
You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well, you wore out your welcome
With random percision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver
You seer of visions
Come on you painter
You piper
You prisoner
And shine
Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more years
And I'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday's triumph
Sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child
You winner and loser
Come on you miner for truth and delusion
And shine
<@#Christy_Moore_Smoke_and_Strong_Whiskey.txt#@>
Kids wear white garters and smell like their mothers
Whose husbands and fathers alike
Drink black beer in the same public houses
Smelling of smoke and strong whiskey
Mammies and daddies and skipping ropes
Lectures from priests living in hope
They've not mistaken the brand of their coats
Paid for by their spiritual teachings
A busy year this, the streets running red
How many sent to a nuptial bed
And how many sent home to a winter of graves
And how many wait in for the slaughter
Chorus:
Oh the holy ground
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see
Oh the holy ground
The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be
It's Easter again and we cannot forget
Brothers and sisters and all that was said
So practise your pipes, stand proud in the wet
But the eyes of the world are upon you
God in his mercy has given us men
To lead us to peace but they can't bring an end
To the profits that pay off the lease on the land
We still send them over the water
Seventeen years and Kelly is a man
Who stands on the street with a gun in his hand
Protecting the pipers that play in the band
While the enemy waits with an army
Chorus
Dia le hEireann, suckle the empire
Dia le hEireann, suffer the loss
Of the green to the blue while the media feeds
On the blood and the pain and the hatred
Father walks home on the colourless night
And the organisation has blinded his sight
His wife and his kids are sleeping tonight
In the arms of sweet Jesus and Mary
Chorus
<@#Christy_Moore_Streets_Of_London.txt#@>
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely at his side
Yesterdays paper telling yesterdays news
chorus
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something that will make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of london
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
Shes no time for talking she just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
chorus
In the all night cafe, at a quarter past eleven,
Same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone
chorus
Have you seen the old man, outside the seamans mission?
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
In our winter city the rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotton hero and a world that doesnt't't't care
chorus
<@#Christy_Moore_Sweet_Music_Roll_On.txt#@>
Down by O'Connell street one summers evening
I meet a young woman, it was our first meeting
Crossed over the bridge and down by the river
By the strawberry beds I found that I knew her
She called me her darling man
We spend a few hours and we drank a few glasses
We danced at the bar ignoring their glances
Ev'ryone knew her name and they knew by my face
With a beer in my hand and her arm round my waist
Calling me her darling man
The river runs deep, sweet music roll on
So the times are long gone, sweet music roll on
Then came the morning and my boat was leaving
She smiled as she said to me: "No point in grieving"
Ev'ryonce in a while when I hear music playing
I remember her smile and I hear her voice saying:
Calling me her darling man
The river runs deep, sweet music roll on
So the times are long gone, sweet music roll on
<@#Christy_Moore_The_Voyage.txt#@>
I am a sailor, you're my first mate
We signed on together, we coupled our fate
Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail
For the hearts treasure, together we set sail
With no maps to guide us we steered our own course
Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
Working together we learned how to cope
[Chorus]
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled water that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered round us, we have our own crew
Together we're in this relationship
We built it with care to last the whole trip
Our true destination's not marked on any charts
We're navigating to the shores of the heart
[Chorus]
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled water that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered round us, we have our own crew
[Chorus]
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled water that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered round us, we have our own crew
<@#Chuck_Berry_Back_To_Memphis.txt#@>
I've been struggling up here, child, trying to make a living
Everybody wants to take, nobody like giving
I wish I was in Memphis back home there with my Mama
The only clothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas
No brotherly love, no help, no danger
Just a great big town full of cold hearted strangers
I went hungry in New York and Chicago was no better
But today, my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter
Son, come back to Memphis and live here with your Mama
You can walk down Beale Street, honey, wearing your pajamas
You know home folks here, we let do just what you want to
And I born you and raised you right here on the corner
I'm going to leave here in the morning and walk down to the station
I've got just enough money to pay my transportation
I'm going back to Memphis, back home with my Mama
If I have to ride that bus barefooted in pajamas
Back home in Memphis, no moaning and groaning
I know everything will be all right in the morning
<@#Chuck_Berry_Downbound_Train.txt#@>
A stranger lying on a bar room floor
Had drank so much he could drink no more,
And so he fell asleep with a troubled brain
To dream that he rode on that down bound train.
The engine with blood was sweaty and damp
And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp,
And imps for fuel was shovelling bones
While the furnace rang with a thousand groans.
The boiler was filled with lots of beer
The devil himself was the engineer,
The passengers were most a motley crew,
Some were foreigners and others he knew.
Rich men and lost beggars in rags
Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags.
As the train rushed on at a terrible pace
Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face,
Wider and wider the country grew
Faster and faster the engine flew,
Louder and louder the thunder crashed
Brighter and brighter the lighting flashed,
Hotter and hotter the air became
Til their clothes were burned with each quivering refrain.
Then out of the din there came a yell
Ha ha said the devil we're nearing home,
Oh how the passengers shrieked with pain
They go to Satan with this down bound train.
The stranger awoke with an anguished cry
His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high,
He fell on his knees on the bar room floor
And prayed a prayer like never before.
And the prayers and vows were not in vain
For he never rode that down bound train.
<@#Chuck_Berry_Fraulein.txt#@>
Far across the deep blue water lives an old captain's daughter
On the banks of the old river Rhine
Where I loved her and I left her and now I can't forget her
'Cause she is my pretty Fraulein
Fraulein, Fraulein walk down by the river
Each night when the stars began to shine
By these same stars above you I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein
When my memory start to wander
Each day I grow fonder of the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of my glory her face comes before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein
Fraulein, Fraulein look up toward the heaven
Pretend that your hand is holdin' mine
By the same stars above you I swear I still love you
And I always will my Fraulein

I am charged with traffic of the forbidden
And I almost finished doing my parole
Now, I'm on my way back down town
Somebody help me, have mercy on my soul
I go to court tomorrow morning
And I got the same judge I had before
Lord, I know he won't have no mercy on me
'Cause he told me not to come back no more
He'll send me away to some stoney mansion
In a lonely room and lock the door
Ow! Have mercy on my little Tulane
She's too alive to try to live alone
And I know her needs
And although she loves me
She's gonna try to make it
While the poor boy's gone

Someone who shared a love with you and stayed behind unknown
I know I'm only someone else in love with you in vain
I wish I could have helped myself, but love is so much pain
It makes me feel that there is still a chance that may remain
That you will someday surely come and give me love again
I knew your love would never be as deep as mine for you
And I knew that these many nights I'd be alone and blue
And lie awake while you forsake the only love I knew
And never learn that you'll return and we would live it through
Each time I dream a dream, I dream we're cuddled arm in arm
It seems you're looking straight at me, when I see you perform
Sometimes I think you see my face become so shy and warm
I often wonder if you know the power in your charms
Please, let me say I still love you before you hang the phone
And I am proud to once have shared the beauty that you own
I'm just a name within your past you met while all alone
Someone who shared a love with you and stayed behind unknown

In Baya California
Down in Tijuana
La senorita come to me
She say "Mi nombre es La Jaunda"
I asked her would she care to dance
She looked at me and said "Como esta?"
I say "Hablo solo en Ingles
Y no comprendo Espanol"
I speak only the language of English
I don't understand Espanol
For a moment I took a notion
Then I went into a dancing motion
She nodded her head
"Yo mucho gusto" she said
And she danced with more devotion
When her cheek came close to mine
I could hear her softly whisper
She said "Habla solo la langua de Ingles
Y no comprenda Espanol"
I speak only the language of English
I don't understand Espanol
She placed her hand before my heart
And she whispered "Yo te amora"
With half - closed eyes
She raised her lips
And she said "Besame ahora"
She hold me close and she squeeze me tight
And she whispered " Yo quiero ahora"
I say "Hablo solo la langua de Ingles
No comprendo Espanol"
I speak only the language of English
I don't understand Espanol

Ma' dear, Ma' dear, she told me one day
That I'd meet my true love and take her away
She said I'd be happy and to be good and true
I'd never be lonely, broken hearted or blue
Ma' dear, Ma' dear, just like you said
I met my true love one and we are to wed
Ma' dear, she's an angel and I'm goin' to be true
Or else I may lose her, I don't want to lose her to somebody new
Ma' dear, Ma' dear, I was not untrue
I tried hard to please her, but she's gone and I'm blue
Ma' dear, I'm so lonesome, broken hearted, too
Ma' dear, Ma' dear, oh, Ma' dear, what must I do?
<@#Chuck_Berry_Maybellene.txt#@>
Maybellene
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville.
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road,
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford.
The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five,
She's bumper to bumper rollin' side by side.
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
Pink in the mirror on top of the hill,
It's just like swallowin' up a medicine pill.
First thing I saw that Cadillac grille
Doin' a hundred and ten gallopin' over that hill.
Offhill curve, a downhill stretch,
Me and that Cadillac neck by neck.
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford,
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more.
It then got clody and it started to rain,
I tooted my horn for a passin' lead
The rain water blowin' all under my hood,
I knew that was doin' my motor good.
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound.
The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.
The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill.
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
<@#Chuck_Berry_No_Money_Down.txt#@>
As I was motivatin'
Back in town
I saw a Cadillac sign
Sayin' "No Money Down"
So I eased on my brakes
And I pulled in the drive
Gunned my motor twice
Then I walked inside
Dealer came to me
Said "Trade in you Ford
And I'll put you in a car
That'll eat up the road
Just tell me what you want
And then sign on that line
And I'll have it brought down to you
In a hour's time"
I'm gonna get me a car
And I'll be headed on down the road
Then I won't have to worry
About that broken - down, raggedy Ford
"Well Mister I want a yellow convertible
Four - door de Ville
With a Continental spare
And a wide chrome wheel
I want power steering
And power brakes
I want a powerful motor
With a jet off - take
I want air condition
I want automatic heat
And I want a full Murphy bed
In my back seat
I want short - wave radio
I want TV and a phone
You know I gotta talk to my baby
When I'm ridin' alone"
Yes I'm gonna get that car
And I'm gonna head on down the road
Yeah, then I won't have to worry
About that broken - down, raggedy Ford
"I want four carburetors
And two straight exhausts
I'm burnin' aviation fuel
No matter what the cost
I want railroad air horns
And a military spark
And I want a five - year guarantee
On everything I got
I want ten - dollar deductible
I want twenty dollar notes
I want thirty thousand liability"
That's all she wrote
I got me a car
And I'm headed on down the road
No money down
I don't have to worry
About that broken - down, raggedy Ford
<@#Chuck_Berry_Old_Time_Rock_N_Roll.txt#@>
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Repeat Chorus x3
I like the Old time Rock 'n' Rock

Well it's Saturday night and I just got paid
I'm a fool away my money, don't try to save
My heart says, "Go go, have a time"
'cause Saturday night bar and I'm feelin' fine
I'm gonna rock it up, I'll rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it, ball tonight
I got a date and I won't be late
Pickin' her up in my '88
Cruise on down 'bout the union hall
John starts jumpin', we'll have a ball
Gonna rock it up, yes, I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it and ball tonight
'Long about ten and I'm swingin' high
Me and my baby, rocking up in the sky
Don't care if I spend my dollar
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul
I'm gonna rock it up, I'll rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it and ball tonight

I was born under the sign of Libra
October, eighteen, seven o'clock
I must have had it bad, 'cause in the cradle I had
My mother said, before noon I was trying to rock
My mother said, before noon I was trying to rock
For years I tried to make A grades
To satisfy my Mom and Pop
In music I'm boss, but in Math, I was lost
I guess my head was full of nothing but rock
I guess my head was full of nothing but rock
Hear they're swinging the Fox Trot at the hotel
Hear the country picking 'round the clock
Pick up some sounds of the jazz around
But if you dig what you hear, you dig rock
Ah, if you dig what you hear, you dig rock
The thing I'm gon' tell my dick jock
So he can sock it to me 'round the clock
Spend an hour of Bach in his original rock
And if you dig what he's playing, you dig rock
And if you dig what he's playing, you dig rock

All the cats want to dance with

She's just got to have
About half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet filled with pictures

Become so excited
Watch her, look at her run
Oh mommy mommy

It's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show
Oh daddy daddy

Oh lordy Lord, oh lordy Lord
It hurts me so bad for us to part
But someday, baby, I ain't gonna worry my life anymore
So many nights since you've been gone
I've had to worry my life along
But someday, baby, I ain't gonna worry my life anymore
How many times, how many times since you went away
Have I set and cried and cried both night and day
Someday, baby, I ain't gonna worry my life anymore
You're on my mind, baby, every place I go
How much I love you, nobody knows
But someday, baby, I ain't gonna worry my life anymore
So that's my story, baby, this is all I got to say to you
Bye-bye, baby, I don't care what you do
Someday, baby, I ain't gonna worry my life anymore

I bought a brand-new air-mobile
It custom-made, 'twas a Flight De Ville
With a pow'ful motor and some hideaway wings
Push in on the button and you can hear her sing
CHORUS:
Now you can't catch me, baby you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close, you know I'm gone like a cool breeze
New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours
I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers
Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me
Then come wavin' by me in a little' old souped-up jitney
I put my foot on my tank and I began to roll
Moanin' siren, 'twas the state patrol
So I let out my wings and then I blew my horn
Bye bye New Jersey, I've become airborne
(chorus)
Flyin' with my baby last Saturday night
Not a gray cloud floatin' in sight
Big full moon shinin' up above
Cuddle up honey, be my love
Sweetest little thing I've ever seen
I'm gonna name you Maybellene
Flyin' on the beam, set on flight control
Radio tuned to rock 'n' roll
Two, three hours passed us by
Five to two dropped to 5:05
Fuel consumption way too fast
Let's get on home before we run out of gas

<@#Cinderella_Electric_Love.txt#@>
When I was down
An angel came to me
And she touched me inside
That woman set me free
Turned on the light
So I could see
That there was fire inside
And I could feel the heat
She's got the power, she gets me high
She can take a storm and make it shine
She keeps the spark burning over time
That woman's got electric love
Ooo, electric love
There ain't no medicine
That makes me fly
Like when I'm with my sweet woman
She keeps me so satisfied
And if we had no money
We'd still get by
And if the world should stop turnin'
Our love would be alive
She's got the power, she gets me high
She can take a storm and make it shine
She keeps the spark burning over time
That woman's got electric love
Look out
She's got the power, she's gets me high
She can take a storm and make it shine
She keeps the spark burning over time
That woman's got electric love
Whoa yeah
She gets me high, so high
Ooo yeah, she makes the stars shine
Burning all the time
That woman's got electric love
Electric love
Electric love
She's got the fire
She's got the fire
Electric love
Electric love

(Strummer)
I could see as I rode in
The ships were gone and the pit fell in
A funeral bell tolled the hour in
A lonely drunkard slumbering
Not the twang of the guitar
Not even the siren wail of pain
Not the shadows of desire
Caught in the pouring pouring rain
Breeze black windows on date street
Where I was raised up on the cheap
(yeah, say!) ask no questions work and sleep
'til the old tango that's on date street
I can hear the sharpen of the pain
Some lucky stranger in the rain
Hear the sharpen of the rain
Lucky stranger... In the rain
Hammers beat in dusty times
On these weedy rusted lines
Mocking the sun and optomistic signs
All these weedy gates of iron
The sun won't shine my way again
Lucky moon was on the wane
Oh I'll never see a star again
In the pouring pouring rain
A salty band played for the train
A sad trombone and some refrain
The future pointed to the weather vane
The old calypso died of shame
I hear the sharpen of the pain
Some lucky stranger in the rian
Hear the sharpen of the pain
Lucky stranger pouring rain
Pouring rain!!!

Back in the garage with my bullshit detector
Carbon monoxide making sure it's effective
People ringing up making offers for my life
But I just want to stay in the garage all night
We're a garage band
We come from garageland
Meanwhile things are hotting up in the West End alright
Contracts in the offices, groups in the night
My bummin' slummin' friends have all got new boots
An' someone just asked me if the group would wear suits
I don't want to hear about what the rich are doing
I don't want to go to where the rich are going
They think they're so clever, they think they're so right
But the truth is only known by guttersnipes
There's twenty-two singers! But one microphone
Back in the garage
There's five guitar players! But one guitar
Back in the garage
Complaints! Complaints! Wot an old bag
Back in the garage
All night

I would love to be the lucky one on chill
Avenue
Who could keep your heart warm when ice has turned it blue
But with the beggin' sleeping losers as they turn in for the night
I'm looking back for home and I can see the lights
I should be jumpin' shoutin' that I made it all this way
From Camden Town station to Fortieth and Eighth
Not many make it this far and many say we're great
But just like them we walk on an' we can't escape our fate
Can't you hear the sighing
Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
Both say they needed something new
So I'm standing at the gates of the west
I burn money at the lights of the sign
The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime
I'm standing at the gates of the east
I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend
The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?
The immigrants an' remnants of all the glory years
Are clustered around the bar again for another round of beers
Little Richard's in the kitchen playing spoons and plates
He's telling the waitress he's great
Ah say I know somewhere back'n'forth in time
Out on the dustbowls, deep in the roulette mine
Or in a ghetto cellar only yesterday
There's a move into the future for the USA.
I hear them crying
Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
Both said they needed something new
Standing at the gates of the west
In the shadow again
I'm standing at the gates of the west
In the shadow again

I swear by Almighty God
To tell the whole truth
And nothing but the truth

They torture all the women and children
Then they've put the men to the gun
'cause across the human frontier
Freedom's always on the run
Guns guns a-shaking in terror
Guns guns killing in error
Guns guns guilty hands
Guns guns shatter the lands
A system built by the sweat of the many
Creates assassins to kill off the few
Take any place and call it a court house
This is a place where no judge can stand
Sue the lawyers and burn all the papers
Unlock the key of the legal papers
A jury of a billion faces
Shouted out condemned out of hand
Guns guns, and nobody's kidding
Guns guns, or foolin' around
Guns guns, the violence is singing
Guns guns, a silence the sound
'N I like to be in Africa
A-beatin' on the final drum
'N I like to be in U.S.S.R.
Makin' sure these things will come
'N I like to be in U.S.A.
Pretending that the wars are done
'N I like to be in Europa
Saying goodbye to everyone

Out but I'm not down, I'm not down
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
And I'm not down, I'm not down
On my own I faced a gang of jeering in strange streets
When my nerves were pumping and I
Fought my fear in, I did not run
I was not done
And I have lived that kind of day
When one of your sorrows will go away
It goes down and down and hit the floor
Down and down and down some more
Depression
But I now there'll be some way
When I can swing everything back my way
Like skyscrapers rising up
Floor by floor, I'm not giving up

An' we leave before the truncheons
So it's back to watch the day to day

Hanging out the washing and clipping coupons
And generally being decent
Johnny too bad meets johnny be good

That's the only thing that happened today
Says the west end jungle code
And all the Germans and all the French
Jam themselves down the tube
And re-enact the second world war
While the rude boys get rude!
And I look to my left

And I'm looking for a man
I'm looking for a sign
I don't want to be the prisoner

Was valium
As the planets form
That golden cross Lord
I'll see you on
The holy cross roads
After all this time
To believe in Jesus
After all those drugs
I thought I was Him
After all my lying
And a-crying
And my suffering
I ain't good enough
I ain't clean enough
To be Him

Burning up the homeland
The fuel of evil
Is raining from the sky
The sea of lava
Flowing down the mountain
The time will sleep
Us sinners by
Holy rollers roll
Give generously now
Pass the hubcap please

Oo baby you're dynamite
There's never been another love so exciting
Oo baby it's dynamite
You've got the power of thunder and lightning-
You're dynamite
Your lips are so inviting
My senses are igniting
I know our love is here to stay - won't go away
It's bigger by the hour
Loves overwhelming power
Is moving irresistibly - through you and me
I can't light the fuse and then retire
Love's got me in it's line of fire
Oo baby you're dynamite
There's never been another love so exciting
Oo baby it's dynamite
You've got the power of thunder and lightning-
You're dynamite
I can't light the fuse and then retire
Love's got me in it's line of fire
Oo baby you're dynamite
There's never been another love so exciting
Oo baby it's dynamite
You've got the power of thunder and lightning-
You're dynamite
<@#Cliff_Richard_Bachelor_Boy.txt#@>
When I was young my father said
'Son I have something to say'
And what he told me I'll never forget
Until my dying days
[Chorus:]
He said son you are a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay
Son you'll be a bachelor boy
Until your dying days
When I was 16 I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as can be
But I remembered just in time
What my daddy said to me
[Chorus]
As time goes by I probably will
Meet a girl and fall in love
Then I'll get married have a wife and a child
And they'll be my turtle doves
But until then I'll be a bachelor boy
And that's the way I'll stay
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dying days
<@#Cliff_Richard_Born_To_Rocknroll.txt#@>
If music be the food of love then play on
Lend me your ears as I lay down this song
You're touched by the feeling-it's hard to control
Let me tell you people
I was born to rock'n'roll
Some people want to fight- some people want to fly
Others live for pleasure-even do or die
Some are born to power-try to save a soul
Let me tell you people
I was born to rock'n'roll
It may sound a little absurd
But I was born to spread the word
Got the music in my soul
I was born to rock'n'roll
Some people are born to money
Privileged all their days
Never had a problem-never had to pay
But I don't have a doubt about the feeling in my soul
Let me tell you people
I was born to rock'n'roll
It may sound a little absurd
But I was born to spread the word
Got the music in my soul
I was born to rock'n'roll
(Instrumental)
It may sound a little absurd
But I was born to spread the word
Got the music in my soul
I was born to rock'n'roll
It may sound a little absurd
But I was born to spread the word
Got the music in my soul
I was born to rock'n'roll
Born to rock'n'roll
I was born to rock'n'roll
<@#Cliff_Richard_Cant_Keep_This_Feelin_In.txt#@>
I just got to tell someone about the way I feel
Shout it from the rooftop to the street
And if I spread the word please tell me who's it gonna
Hurt
I'm in love with you girl
Let me talk to the world
I feel like I'm up there riding a rocket to the moon
And I'm gonna tell them where I've been
Can't keep this feelin' in
Not for another minute
I can't hold it back
You know I'm trying to
I just gotta count the ways
You bless my days
Baby I can't keep this feelin in
Some things should be private just between
The two of us
Trust me when I say my lips are sealed
My god It's no big secret that I'm crazy
For your love
Want to put up a sign that the lady is mine
If you're superstitious I'm gonna try to
Hold it down
But I'm going out there on a limb
Can't keep this feelin' in
Not for another minute
I can't hold it back
You know I'm trying to
I just gotta count the ways
You bless my days
Baby I can't keep this feelin in
I know it's better if we take it slow
That's when the hours feel like years
I've gotta tell somebody that's all I know
If I've gotta whisper whisper in their ears
Repeat chorus out
<@#Cliff_Richard_Dont_Turn_The_Light_Out.txt#@>
On my way home I met an
Old friend of mine
We walked and we talked an' shared
A bottle of wine
We started to dance and my
Intentions were good
How could I know I'd be misunderstood
I promised to call before the weekend
Was through
We'd all get together sho she could
Meet you
I was just being friendly, I met her
By chance
You gotta believe me - it's not a romance
Don't turn the light out, I'm starting to see
Don't turn the light out, you're getting to me
Don't turn the light out, we're burning so bright
Don't turn the light out.....don't turn the light out
You gotta see it from my point
Of view
The same situation could
Happen to you
I said it was over before she left
Town
I can't believe that you're putting me down
Don't turn the light out, I'm starting to see
Don't turn the light out, you're getting to me
Don't turn the light out, we're burning so bright
Don't turn the light out.....don't turn the light out
It would be easy if you'd lighten up
Do it to please me, enough is enough
All that we've been through, how can you doubt
The ups an' the downs are what loving's about
So don't turn the light out, I'm starting to see
Don't turn the light out, you're getting to me
Don't turn the light out, we're burning so bright
Don't turn the light out.....don't turn the light out
<@#Cliff_Richard_Give_A_Little_Bit_More.txt#@>
Well i can see - that you weren't givin' enough
That you weren't givin' as much as me
With all your small talk - bendin' the rules
Are you runnin' before you can walk
I've got the feelin' you've been runnin' around
You've gone and left behind the feelin' we'd found
Too much too soon too much too soon
Too much too soon
Well can you get excited by what you see
You've been takin' my love
You should be giving it back to me
Give a little bit of love like you did before
Give a little bit more (give a little bit more)
Give a little bit more (like you did before)
Give a little bit more
In a photograph you didn't put me in the picture
My lovin' just made you laugh i was wide eyed
Taken right in i can't understand why you lied
I've got the feelin' you've been runnin' around
You've gone and left behind the feelin' we'd found
Too much too soon too much too soon
Too much too soon
Well can you get excited by what you see
You've been taking my love
You should be giving it back to me
Give a little bit of love like you did before
Give a little bit more (give a little bit more)

I've got the feelin' you've been runnin' around
You've gone and left behind the feelin' we'd found

Searching for a green light
Looking for it all night
Using all my keen sight
Searching for a green light
From just this side of midnight
'Til dawn breaks into daylight
Keepin' myself out of sight
Searching for a green light
Well I've heard this story before
But that doesn't stop me searching
It's been so long since you gave me a sign
A sign to stop my head turning
But all I have are just your old memories
But you know baby, baby that's fine
'Cause I'm spending all of my time
Searching for a green light
Looking for it all night
Using all my keen sight
Searching for a green light
From just this side of midnight
'til dawn breaks into daylight
Keepin' myself out of sight
Searching for green light
Lookin' around
But all I have are your old memories
But you know baby baby that's fine

Looking for it all night
Using all my keen sight

Let your heart be light.
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yuletide gay.
Next year all our troubles will be miles away.
Once again as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who were dear to us,
Will be near to us once more.
Someday soon we all will be together,
If the fates allow.
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow.

Hey my friend, I know too well
The pressures in this life are real
You gotta come out fighting when they ring your bell
Stand up for the way you feel
You can't let it get you down
You can't let it make you run away
Got to keep your dreams alive
We can do it, but we'll only make it work together
When it all comes down to the push and shove
We can make it through, we can rise above
'Cause you know that we've got the power of
Healin' love, talkin' 'bout healin' love
Now I can see that you're feeling sad
Some one's chosen your heart to steal
Hey, my friend, you can take my hand
And I'll show your heart a power that's real
It will never let you down
It will always open any door
So pick the pieces off the ground
Because you may have lost the battle but we'll win this war
When it all comes down to the push and shove
We can make it through, we can rise above
'Cause you know that we've got the power of
Healin' love, talkin' 'bout healin' love
So wipe away your tears, you can put away your gun
And get ready to receive the strongest medicine
When it all comes down to the push and shove
We can make it through, we can rise above
'Cause you know that we've got the power of
Healin' love, talkin' 'bout healin' love

Ready steady gonna meet you on the ballroom floor,
Brother Eddie quit your banging on my bathroom door,
After shaving yeah and after three,
I'm after having me some fun you see,
I'm getting ready for the night to come,
And here i come.
[Chorus]
I'm just a hot shot hitting town,
(have a little fun),
Just a hot shot getting down,
(ready steady run),
I'm just a hot shot looking around,
(loving on the run),
I'm having fun.
Get the recognition each and every place i go,
Fashion leader in the Cuban heel and pointed toe,
My Italian suit is pressed and clean,
I'm the Latin lover of the local scene,
I'm getting ready for the night to come.
[Chorus]
A faded picture on the mantelshelf,
My older brother looks like myself,
Remember Donny dated Susie,
And Susie rated johnny,
Johnny's into Susie,
But Susie's into Ronnie,
Ronnie waits for Louie,
But Louie's singing Louie

If what you said last night is true
Then you don't know me as well as you should
No one could ever be so wrong
And if this look I wear fools you
Well I got a good reason
You see I'm really not so strong
I need love like every other man
Get scared when you turn away
I need love I will do all I can - stay
Now I've seen sorrow felt no pain
I never felt nothing at all
It's not the way I want to be
And when you're gone these empty hours
Cut me again
What does it take to make you see
I need love like every other man
Get scared when you turn away
I need love and I'll do all I can please stay
Somebody up there likes me
Cause they've opened up the door
You won't see me chasing rainbows anymore
I need love like any other man
Get scared when you turn away
I need love I'll do all I can please stay

I haven't spent a happy day

After sobbin' and sighin'
And a-wonderin' just what went wrong
Pretty baby I was good to you
Why'd you go and make me blue
I need your arms to hold me tight
I need your sweet lips to kiss me goodnight
I'm so unhappy on my own
Don't don't leave me sad and lonely
I wake up crying
After tossin' and turnin'
And a-yearnin' the whole night long
Pretty baby please come back to me
Save me from this mesery
Oh baby won'tcha save me from this mesery
Please baby won'tcha save me from this mesery

Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died the day grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife sleep in bed she hears a noise
And turns her head he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill one disappears and
One's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
How could you have been so blind
The father spoke the demons dined
The son has come and you've been left behind.

You know my motives are sincere
And the love's the reason that we're here
Seeing you just makes me want to say
Won't you change your mind for me and stay
I just want to feel your arms about me
Is that too much to ask or do
You think that I'd be asking too much
I wish you'd change your mind and stay
It's really much too late to play games
All I want is just to talk with you
I'll even sing it if you want me to

Never even thougt it would happen to me
Maybe I've been blind
Only others can see I'm in love
What am I to do. can I let it show
Do I keep it to myself
Or should I let her know I'm in love
Do I nurse it in my heart
Hold it back in my eyes
Hide it all inside
Or put on a disguise I'm in love
Have I gotta play games
Even suffer the pain
Let the secret out
Even suffer the doubt I'm in love
I know it's all there
I really wanna share my life
With someone else
Will she feel the same
What am I to do.can I let it show
Do I keep it to myself
Or should I let her know I'm in love
It isn't so easy when you've broken before
But it isn't so hard when you're ready for more
Could you love me
Give me a simple clue
Anything will do
So long as I know
What's in me is in you
Could you love me
I've got so much of care to give away
There's only one thing I wanna hear you say
I love you...
Have I gotta play games
Even suffer the pain
Let the secret out
Even suffer the doubt I'm in love
I know it's all there
I really wanna share my life
With someone else
Will she feel the same

You look so sad like you lost your only friend.
Don't feel so bad
You can always try again.
So don't hide
Go seek
Don't let the grass grow under your feet.
Get out
Get up
Get on
Get moving out
Don't surrender
Don't give up the fight.
You give a little bit more
If you want her back it's a full attack
You give a little bit more.
If you want to win
You don't give in
You give a little bit more.
When you think you're through what you got to do is give a little bit more.
She said good-bye
So you tell yourself that's all.
But your hands ain't tied why you make yourself so small.
So don't hide
Go seek
Don't let the grass grow under your feet. . . .
Don't give up the fight
Got to keep on going with all your might
Try hard
Don't stop. Got to keep on giving it all you got.
Never give up
Never give up
Never say die.
Believe in I
You can reach the top
Got to give it a shot.
Don't say no
Got to get in the flow.
So don't hide
Go seek
Don't crawl away
Get back on your feet.
Get out
Get up
Get on
Get moving out.
Don't surrender
Don't give up the fight.
You give a little bit more.
And if you want her back it's a full attack
You give a little bit more.
If you want to win you don't give in
You give a little bit more.
When you think you're through what you got to do is give a little bit more
You give a little bit more
You give a little bit more

Christmas night, another fight
Tears we cried a flood
Got all kinds of poison in
Poison in my blood
I took my feet
To Oxford Street
Trying to right a wrong
Just walk away
Those windows say
But I can't believe she's gone
When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Up above candles on air flicker
Oh they flicker and they float
But I'm up here holding on
To all those chandeliers of hope
Like some drunken Elvis singing
I go singing out of tune
Saying how I always loved you darling
And I always will
Oh when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
Then all my troubles will be gone
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on
Oh Christmas lights
Light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas lights keep shining on

Scared of losing all the time
He wrote it in a letter
He was a friend of mine
He heard you could see your future
Inside a glass of water
With ripples and the rhymes
He asked "Will I see heaven in mine?"
Oh that is just the way it was,
And nothing could be better,
And nothing ever was.
And they say you can see your future,
Inside a glass of water,
With riddles and the rhymes
But "will I see heaven in mine?"
Oh, oh, oh
Son, don't ask,
Neither how full nor empty is your glass,
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast
So he wrote it on a wall
The hollowest of halos
Is no halo at all
And Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders
Saying nothing at all
And you chime
Stars in heaven align
Oh
Son, don't ask,
Neither how full nor empty is your glass,
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast
What are we drinking when we're done, just glasses of water.

That you're missing the mark?
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
Written up in marker on a factory sign
I struggle with the feeling
That my life isn't mine
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
See the arrow that they shot trying
To tear us apart took the fire from my belly and
The beat from my heart
Still I won't let go
Still I won't let go
You, ooh, ooh
Oh you, use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven
On every street, every car, every surface in nature
And at the streets are rising and you'd rather sing
Don't let them take control
No, we won't let 'em take control
Yes, I feel a little bit nervous
Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax
I'm coming 'round to get us
I'm coming 'round when they don't know the facts
So on a concrete canvas and a glow in the dark
On a concrete canvas, I will make you a mark
Armed with the spray can soul
Let me out with the spray can soul
You, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
'Cause you use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven

Use your heart as a weapon

Every night there the headlights are glowing
There's a cold war coming,
On the radio I heard
Baby it's a violent world
Oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow
I could hear it coming
I could hear the sirens sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Time came a creepin'
Oh and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes on
Time only can lead you on
Still it's such a beautiful night
Oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow
I could hear it coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Gravity release me,
And don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground.

I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you
Ooh ooh ooh
Call it magic, cut me into two
And with all your magic, I disappear from view
And I can't get over, can't get over you
Still, I call it magic, such a precious truth
And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't
No I don't, it's true

No I don't, it's true

Want anybody else but you
Wanna fall, I fall so far
I wanna fall, fall so hard
And I call it magic
And I call it true
Call it magic
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
And if you were to ask me
After all that we've been through
"Still believe in magic?"
Well yes, I do
Oh yes, I do
Oh yes, I do
Oh yes, I do
Of course I do
<@#Coldplay_Paradise.txt#@>
When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach and the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
And dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh)
She'd dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know the sun must set to rise"
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh, oh
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So it's over,
This time I know it's gone
Salt water tasted it too long
I only know I'm wrong
Now I know it's gone
Up in flames, up in flames
Up in flames we have slowly gone
So it's over,
This time you're flying on
This time I know no song
Can stop it slowly burn
Can stop it slowly gone
Up in flames, up in flames
Up in flames we have slowly gone
Up in flames, up in flames
Up in flames we have slowly gone
Oh, we have slowly gone
Can we pour some water on?
<@#Coldplay_Violet_Hill.txt#@>
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
[Chorus]
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fox
Became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in armour
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfold
[Chorus]
I don't want to be a soldier
With the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All the time she was silent and still
[Chorus: x2]

(Chris feat. Bono on All Star Tribute)
Bono: Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Chris: Brother, brother, brother
There's too many of you dying
You know you've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
Bono: Father, father
We don't need to escalate
And war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
Chris: You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
Picket lines won't block our way
Bono: Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, and you can see
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Together we can be strong
Chris: You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
Picket lines won't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality

Before you take another step
There's something you should know
About the years ahead and how they'll be
You'll be living in a world where roses hardly ever grow
'Cause all I have to offer you is me
There'll be no mansions waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here in front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me
Sweetheart, I'll give you all my love in every way I can
But make sure that's what you want while you're still free
The only gold I have for you is in this wedding band
'Cause all I have to offer you is me
There'll be no mansions waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here in front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me
All I have to offer you is me
<@#Conway_Twitty_Almost_Persuaded.txt#@>
Last night all alone in a barroom
Met the girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man.
Then she came and sat down at my table
And as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine.
And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To put my conscience aside.
Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked in her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band.
And I was almost persuaded
To let soft lips lead me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home...
<@#Conway_Twitty_Back_Street_Affair.txt#@>
You didn't know I wasn't free
When you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart, you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
Because they call our love a back street affair.
They say you wrecked my home
I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair.
We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
So let 'em call our love a back street affair.
We'll be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high
And then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street affair...
<@#Conway_Twitty_Before_Ill_Set_Her_Free.txt#@>
I stood and saw the judge's gavel fall
And much to my dismay these words I've heard him say
I've listened to your story boy and it seems to me
You'd be better off if you'll set her free
But I love her I love her down on my knees I cry
And I don't want to lose her heaven knows I try
To make her happy but she wants more than me
And I'll take her like she is before I'll set her free
[ steel ]
Judge I know she loves me in her own kind of way
Even though she hurts me a hundred times a day
You tell me that it's better that I should set her free
But judge what would you do if you were me
You see I love her I love her in spite of all she's done
And I'll keep right on hoping someday that time will come
When she'll decide that she wants only me
And I'll take her like she is before I'll set her free
<@#Conway_Twitty_Big_Town.txt#@>
This big town is a shelter for me
I found a place to hide my misery
I lost my love so long ago
And though my heart is hurting so
The one I love will never know
As long as I stay
In this big town I find the peace of mind
That only losers in the game of love can find
The years have gone crawling by
This hurt I feel will never die
Somehow I know deep down inside
I'll never get away from this big town
From this big town
In this big town there's a street of misery
And on the street there's a dwelling place for me
In the darkness of my room I try
To sleep but all I do is cry
And still I realize that
I am ever lucky to be here
In this big town so no one else can see
Just what your cheating heart has done to me
The glimmer of the city lights
The shadows of the lonely nights
Will help to hide me while I cry
A hundred dreaded tears
In this big town
In this big town
In this big town
In this big town
In this big town

I was a man with a world in his hand but I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans but I dropped it
It didn't lay there very long I turned around and it was gone
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket
All she wanted was my love and understanding
I didn't care enough I wasn't bear enough and she got lonely
I was a man with a world in his hand but I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans but I dropped it
And good things don't just lay around neglected on the ground
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket

Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
And the storm is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
So take back the treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach

If there's a chance that your heart misses
The words I try to say with kisses
If I don't seem to look as happy
As I should
I don't want to live without you
I love everything about you
Yes, even the bad times are good
Your middle name should be perfection
For that's what you are to me
Even in my darkest moment
You made it easier to see
I wouldn't change one thing about you
If I knew that I could
Yes, even the bad times are good
Your middle name should be perfection
For that's what you are to me
Even in my darkest moment
You made it easier to see
I wouldn't change one thing about you

Except for you, I've never known what love is
Or how it feels to have a dream come true
But now I find my world no longer lonely
The way that it would be except for you.
One by one you mended all the pieces
Of a heart that someone broke in two
You filled my life with happiness and sunshine
That I never would have known except for you.
You brought all the rainbow colors to a world of solid blue
There's nothin' prettier than rainbows, except for you
And so my love I wanted just to tell you
This old heart won't beat again, except for you.
My old heart won't beat again, except for you...
<@#Conway_Twitty_For_Heavens_Sake.txt#@>
We thought the baby was the answer to keep us happy in our world
Our prayers were answered with the darling baby girl
And we named her Heaven but a child's not all it takes
But I'll stay and I'll stay for heaven's sake
You often send me roses and kiss me when you leave home
And you pick out my shirt and tie like nothing's ever wrong
But we're only fooling heaven we can't make a mistake
I won't leave you I'll see it through for heaven's sake
Christmas trees and make believe for heaven's sake
Ginger mint and let's pretent if that's what it takes
Evening prayers and pigtails teddy bears and wishing wells for heaven's sake
Rollers case and skinned up knee and dirty face
I kiss her hurt until her tears are all erased
Baby dolls and your high heels lollipops before her meal for heaven's sake

From Seven Til Ten
Wait here for me I'll get the key
Darlin' I won't be long
The place isn't much but as soon as we touch
Anywhere's home away from home
It's a very nice room, do you like my perfume
I wanted everything to be just right
There's so little time for a love of this kind
It can't even last through the night
We have to steal all the love that we feel
And we're feelin' like stealin' again
We'll never be free so it's gotta be
Lovin' from seven till ten
Lovin' from seven till ten
Do you see a trace of love on my face
I know she'll have on the light
Look in my eyes, can he see how I cried
While you were lovin' me tonight
We have to steal all the love that we feel
And we're feelin' like stealin' again
We'll never be free so it's gotta be
Lovin' from seven 'til ten
Lovin' from seven till ten

HARD ACT TO FOLLOW
WRITERS DAVID CHAMBERLAIN, GARY NICHOLSON
My leading lady is gone
And it's so hard to go on
Without the part she played
My life's just an empty stage.
She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down.
She was so right for the part
The way she fit into my heart
After the love she gave
Who could ever take her place?
She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down.
She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down...
<@#Conway_Twitty_Heartaches_By_The_Number.txt#@>
Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you come back again
You came back and never meant to stay.
[Chorus]
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
Each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end.
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way.
[Chorus]

Hows about cookin' something up with me

Hey, sweet baby, don't you think maybe
You could find us a brand new recipe?
I got a hotrod Ford and a two dollar bill
I know a spot right over the hill
Have sugar pop and the dance is free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me.
Say hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'
Hows about cookin' something up with me?
I'm free and I'm ready, so we can go steady
Hows about sharing all of your company
No more lookin', I know I said lookin'
Hows about keepin' steady company.
I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence
And buy me one for five or ten cents
Keep it 'til it's covered with age
Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page.
Say, hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'

Got me room in a cheap hotel
My head was a spinnin' and didn't feel well
I laid right down and tried to go to sleep
A band kept a playin' in the joint underneath
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a playin' and a shaken my bed
Honky tonk, all night long
Honky tonk, same old song
Honky tonk, my money's all gone
Honky tonk, she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed
And I couldn't go to sleep
'Cause the band kept a playin'
With a honky tonk beat
I'm so blue my baby's gone she took all my money
And she left me all alone
I'm tryin' to forget her but I don't know what to do
The honky tonk song keeps a leakin' through
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a playin' and a shaken my bed
Honky tonk, all night long
Honky tonk, same old song
Honky tonk, my money's all gone

Tortured by sweet words that you didn't mean
It's the stillness it's the silence that I can hardly take
For I can hear I can hear my heart break.
Now these arms are mighty lonesome guess they're missing you
And I have to admit it honey I miss you too
I sit here in the silence half asleep half awake
And I can hear I can hear my heart break.
Empty days without number lonely nights I can't bear
That old world's gone right on by me who's to know who's to care
I keep listening for your footsteps little sound you used to make
And I can hear I can hear my heart break.

<@#Counting_Crows_All_My_Friends.txt#@>
Thought I might get a rocket ride
When I was a child but it was a lie
That I told myself when I needed something good
At seventeen, had a better dream.
Now I'm thirty-three and it isn't me
But I'd think of something better if I could
All my friends and lovers leave me behind
I'm still looking for a girl
One way or another
I'm just hoping to find a way
To put my feet out in the world
Caught some grief from a falling leaf
As she tumbled down to the dirty ground
Said I should have put her back there if I could
But everyone needs a better day
And I'm trying to find me a better way
To get from the things I do to the things I should
All my friends and lovers leave me alone
To try to have a little fun
One way or another I just wish I had known
To go out walking in the sun
And find out if you were the one
Does it make you wanna come a little closer now?
And did you wanna dance with me?
Did you wanna hum a little harder now?
Can you see her waiting there?
Can you see her? Because I'm almost there
Can you see her waiting there for someone like me?
All you want is a beauty queen
Not a superstar but everybody's dream machine
All you want is a place to lay your head
You go to sleep dreaming how you would
Be a different kind if you thought you could
But you come awake the way you are instead
All my friends and lovers shine like the sun
I just turn and walk away
One way or another
I'm not coming undone
I'm just waiting for the day

Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly
Last night now they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk
They're gettin' ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now there's trouble busin'
In from outta state and the D. A.
Can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by
The skin of it's teeth
[Chorus:]
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
[Chorus:]
Now our luck may have died
And our love may be cold
But with you forever I'll stay
We're goin' out
Where the sand's turnin' to gold
So put on your stockin's baby 'cause
The night's getting cold
And everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Now I been lookin' for a job
But it's hard to find
Down here it's just winners and losers
And don't get caught on the wrong side of that
Line
Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end
So honey last night I met this guy and
I'm gonna do a little favor for him
Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your hair up nice and set up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

If anything it should have been a better thing,
From underneath you
Staring at the ceiling
It's another world of chocolate bars
And baseball cards and it hides
Inside of all this tension that I'm feeling
But it's all inside of you
And it's all inside of you
Surprise, Surprise
I miss your hair, you miss my eyes
And this solitude is my confidence eroding
So We slide inside of someone's mouth
And someone's eyes until
There's a sound of something intimate exploding.
But it's all inside of you
It's all inside of you.
I wish that I'd had anesthetized and sterilized and then
I wouldn't have this evidence congealing
Surprise, surprise
Another pair of lips and eyes
And that's the consequence from actually feeling.
But it's all inside of you
It's all inside of you

You know it's alright
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?
Crazy ways are evident
In the way that you're wearing your clothes
Suppin' boze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow.

I told your mamma I'd get you home
But I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar.

Dancing days are here again

You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows.

Larry's in vegas..with some chick from La
The best things are sevens and sex is just ok so please stay
She said just stay
Cause there's a show at 11 and the drinks are all free you can do
Better for yourself but not me ....
...so please stay and keep me company.
All the while thinking this is the good luck, stays with her most of the time
Takes time to make these machines work, people are so unkind
Gets kinda nervous
Used to be hard.
She takes the edges off evenings in bedrooms and back seats in big cars.
All the while thinking this is the good luck stays with her most of the time
It takes time to make these machines work people are so unkind.
People are so unkind
She looks in the mirror
To make she's here
She keeps disappearing and dreaming of movie stars- weddings and nothing is
happening
He tries not to notice
She thinks he doesn't care.
Capture yourself in a jar and you stay there,
Until you vanish
Thin air
All the while thinking this is the good luck stays with her most of the time
It takes time to make these machines work but he aint got time while
She's riding in black cars and pokes at the sky to see if he can make stars
and
People are so unkind
People are so unkind..
People are so unkind..
People are so unkind...
People are so unkind
People are so..

Well I wish you were inside of me
I hope that you're ok
I hope your resting quietly
I just wanted to say
Good, goodnight elizabeth,

We couldn't all be cowboys
Some of us are clowns
And some of us are dancers on the midway
We roam from town to town
I hope that everybody can find a little flame

Then I just light myself on fire
And I walk out on the wire once again
And I say
Good, goodnight elizabeth,

I'll miss you down in New Orleans
I'll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
And i'll miss you when I'm slipping in between
If you wrap yourself in daffodills
I will wrap myself in pain
And if you're the queen of California
Baby I am the king of the rain
And I say
Good, goodnight elisabeth,
Goodnight elizabeth
Goodnight elizabeth
Goodnight
The moon's a satellite yeah
Now wont you fall down
On me now
Wont you fall down on me
Come fall down
On me now
Wont you fall down on me
'till I'm all alone
You aint coming home
You just settle down down down into bones
I said I'm all alone
You aint coming home

<@#Counting_Crows_Hanging_Tree.txt#@>
She brings her friends so we wont have to be alone
Fear I might lose my composure without warning
I am a child of fire I am a lion I have desires
And I was born inside the sun this morning
[Chorus]
This dizzy life of mine keeps hanging me up all the time
This dizzy life is just a hanging tree
This dizzy life of mine keeps hanging me up all the time
This dizzy life is just a hanging tree
They say good evening when they don't know what to say
They say good morning when they wish you would go home
You open windows and you wait for someone warm to come inside and then freeze
to death alone
[Chorus]
She calls a waitress when its time for her to go
And I know everyone is eventually leaving
I got a pair of wings for my birthday baby and I will fall down through the
sun to see you mine
[Chorus]
For me, for me, for me [Repeated]
This dizzy life is just a hanging tree
This dizzy life is just a hanging tree for me
This dizzy life is just a hanging tree for me
For me, for me, for me [Repeated]
This dizzy life is just a hanging tree for me

Get away from me
This isn't gonna be easy
But I don't need you
Believe me
You got a piece of me
But it's just a little piece of me
And I don't need anyone
And these days I feel like I'm fading away
Like sometimes when I hear myself on the radio
Have you seen me lately?
I was out on the radio starting to change
Somewhere out in America
It's starting to rain
Could you tell me the things you remember about me
And have you seen me lately?
I remember me
And all the little things
That make up a memory
Like she said she loved to watch me sleep
Like she said,
"It's the breathing
It's the breathing in and out and in and..."
Have you seen me lately?
<@#Counting_Crows_High_Life.txt#@>
All my friends got flowers in their eyes
But I got none this season
All of last years blooms have gone and died
Time doesn't give a reason
Hey baby, do you ask yourself sometimes
What you need to be forgiven?
Everything that you've ever done wrong
Is the reason that I'm driven
Straight to you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I get my ends and my beginnings mixed up too
Just the way you do
Thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two
Waiting for the trains that just never come
Beginning to believe in
the disappearing nature of the people we have been
We have begun to change into the worst kind of people
So unkind
Oh apologies, no apologies, this apology
Doesn't describe the way it feels to feel for you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I find myself slowly disappearing too
Just the way you do
Thought if I told you
You might want to help me to remain with you
I just wanna stay for a little while
I wanna stay for a little while
There's a night life falling down on me
I just feel like a change
Beneath the sun in the summer,
a sea of flowers won't bloom without the rain
But oh, this desert life, this high life
Here at the dying end of the day
I wasn't made for this scene baby
But I was made in this scene
And baby it's just my way
I don't wanna go home alone, I wanna come on home to you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I line my sky with all the silver I can use
Just the way you do
Thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two

(Original by Oasis)
Sung as an intro to A Long December
Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
'cause I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone
Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
I said
Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
'cause I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone
Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
Now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
'cause I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks you to the bone
Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breathe
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Gonna live forever

<@#Counting_Crows_Mercy.txt#@>
I got a feeling
Of unrighteousness
Bitter cold
Hollow bitterness
Down the road
I walk with loneliness
Mercy will follow me I'm told
My sister sang
A song so sweet and sad
About a man
Whose love I never had
But there is a train
Bound for Gilliad
And mercy will follow me, I'm told
Mercy will you follow me
Mercy will you follow me
To my final breath, the last I take
Mercy will you follow me
Mercy will you follow me
Till the chains of this old world I finally break
Under this skin
There lies a heart of stone
It's growing old
So very far from home
But a heart of gold
I may one day own
And mercy will follow me, I'm told
Mercy will you follow me
Mercy will you follow me
Till my final breath, the last I take
Mercy will you follow me
Mercy will you follow me
Till the chains of this old world I finally break, oh
Till the chains of this old world I finally break, oh
Till the chains of this old world I finally break
<@#Counting_Crows_Millers_Angels.txt#@>
Miller's angels in black and white
Welcome everyone in
Children dreaming of wrong and right
Wrapped in grace and in sin
They come out of the blue sky
They come out of the blue
They come out of the blue sky
But you never know where they're gonna go
Hey Romeo
Miller's fingers are traveling down the length of her thigh
But Miller's mind is still wandering
Staring up at the sky
They come out of the blue sky
They come out of the blue
They come out of the blue sky
But you never know where they're gonna go
Hey Romeo
Don't come around here
Miller's angels are hovering in between the earth and the sun
In the shadow of God's unwavering love
I am a fortunate son
They come out of the blue sky
They come out of the blue
They come out of the blue sky
But you never know where they're gonna go
Hey Romeo
<@#Counting_Crows_Recovering_The_Satellites.txt#@>
Gonna get back to basics
Guess I'll start it up again
I'm fallin' from the ceiling
You're falling from the sky now and then
Maybe you were shot down in pieces
Maybe I slipped in between
But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see
Just you and me
So why'd you come home to this sleepless town
It's a lifetime commitment
Recovering the satellites
All anybody really wants to know is...
When you gonna come down
Your mother recognizes all you're desperate displays
And she watches as her babies drift violently away
'Til they see themselves in telescopes
Do you see yourself in me?
We're such crazy babies, little monkey
We're so fucked up, you and me
So why'd you come home to this faithless town
Where we make a lifetime commitment
To recovering the satellites
And all anybody really wants to know is...
When are you gonna come down
She sees shooting stars and comet tails
She's got heaven in her eyes
She says I don't need to be an angel
But I'm nothing if I'm not this high
But we only stay in orbit
For a moment of time
And then you're everybody's satellite
I wish that you were mine
So why'd you come home to this angel town
It's a lifetime decision
Recovering the satellites
Everybody really knows for sure...
That you're gonna come down
That you're gonna come down
<@#Counting_Crows_Sailor_Song.txt#@>
Walk out Amanda, our fortunes are clear
These are the last of our days
Left San Francisco with time on my hands
And I got back with you on my brain
So bring me a second or bring me an hour
Bring me the world in a tear
Bring me a little of anything Amanda
And I'll keep it close to me here
Press it among the best years of my heart and my tears
And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want
Throw me up on the shore tonight and I'll count the last light
And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want...
Come on Amanda, you know what I mean
You won't be happy 'round here
Got on the wagon the tenth of December
I fell off the first of the year
And I know you wish I was better then that
I know you wish I was dry
God knows I wish I was somebody else
Right now I wish I could die
Press it among the best years of my heart and my tears
And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want
Maybe among the earphones of my heart and my soul
And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want everything
And I want to be a raider, I want anything
And I want to be a man
What's the matter?
Didn't you think we were trying?
Hey, what's the matter?
Didn't you think I was somebody else who
Could lie in the wake of you smile?
Spent twenty-six stiffening years down the drain
Women who will spit in your eye
And a drunkard like me gets the worst of your love
Good riddance, good luck and good bye
Press it among the best years of my heart and my tears
And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want
Maybe among the hill folds of my heart and my soul
And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want
Singing 'till the sky turns and lungs burst and throat burns
And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want
Screaming 'till the sun houses my here and my now
And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want everything
And I want to be a sailor, I want anything
And I wanna be a man
I want everything
And I wanna be a sailor, I want anything
And I wanna be a man
And I wanna be a man
And I wanna be a man

Shake Some Action
I will find a way
To get to you some day.
Oh, but I, babe,
I'm so afraid I'll fall,
Yeah. Now can't you hear me call?
Shake some action's what I need
To let me bust out at full speed.
I'm sure that's all you need
To make it all right.
It's taken me so long
To get where I belong
Oh, but, oh, please don't send me back that way, yeah.
For I will make you pay. (refrain)
If you don't dig what I say
Then I will go away.
And I won't come back this again.
No. 'Cause I don't need a friend.

If I had a dollar
For every time
You broke my heart,
Messed up my mind
Well I'd be the richest man

If bad times paid interest
I'd have you to thank
I'd be driving a new car,
Have money in the bank
I'd be the richest man
I'd be the richest man
... In the world
Baby.. Money can't buy love
The kind I dream of is so hard to find
For a good womans touch in the morning when I rise
Well baby I'd give up every single dime
Money can't buy love
The kind I dream of is so hard to find
For a good woman's touch in the mrning when I rise
Baby I'd give up every single dime
If teardrops were diamonds from the African mines
If heartaches were silver
My whole life would shine
And I'd be the richest man
I'd be the richest man
... In the world
Baby.

Look me in the eye
Then, tell me that I'm satisfied
Was you satisfied?

Hey, are you satisfied?
And it goes so slowly on
Everything I've ever wanted
Tell me what's wrong
Look me in the eye
And tell me that I'm satisfied
Were you satisfied?
Look me in the eye
Then, tell me I'm satisfied
And now are you satisfied?
Everything goes
Well, anything goes all of the time

And every dream is a lie

<@#Counting_Crows_When_I_Dream_Of_Michelangelo.txt#@>
You know I don't like you
But you want to be my friend
There are bodies on the ceiling
And they are fluttering their wings
It's OK, I'm angry
But you'll never understand
You dream of Michelangelo
They hang above your hands
[Chorus]
And I know, she is not my friend
And I know, cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again
And I can't see why
You want to talk to me
When your vision of America
Is crystal and clean
I wanna white bread life
Just something ignorant in the rain
But from the walls of Michelangelo
I'm dangling again.
[Chorus]
Saturn on a line
The sun afire of strings and wires
Spin above my head and make it right
Anytime you'd like, you can catch a sight
Of angel eyes on emptiness and infinite
And I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed
I see God upon the ceiling
I see angels overhead
And he seems so close
As he reaches out his hand
We are never quite as close
As we are led to understand
And I know, she is not my friend
And I know, cause there she goes walking walking walking
And I know, she is not my friend
And I know, cause there she goes
Walking on my skin again and again
On my mind
Oh Lord no
Yes she's walking on my skin again and again
<@#Counting_Crows_You_Cant_Count_On_Me.txt#@>
Anythings hard to change
But hey I got you down on your knees again
You watch the sky
It's a pale parade of passing clouds
That cover
The bed upon which we laid
In the dark
And the memories that I made
Of a laughing girl
But you're just my toy
And I can't stop playing with you, baby
[Chorus]
If you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There's one thing you need to know
And that's that you can't count on me
Coming along real good
But I still can't do most of the things I should
I watch the sky coming down to bury me and
I can't stop this crawling out of my skin
I know that you see yourself flying in
Out of the sky
Coming down
To carry me
But I won't come out
[Chorus]
No you can't count on me
I watched all of the same parades
As they passed on the days that you wish you'd stayed
All this pain gets me high
And I get off and you know why
[Chorus: x2]
Aw you can't count on me
No you can't count on me

Well, take me back down where cool water flow, yeh.
Let me remember things I love.
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin' along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.
I can hear the bull frog callin' me.
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water,
Shoe fly, dragon fly, get back t your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers.
Old Cody, Junior took me over,
Said, you're gonna find the world is smouldrin'
And if you get lost come on home to Green River.

Bad moon is rising again

Come down I fear
As that cold wheel turns
I know what I know
Sad Claude's been sleeping around
To stroke the right nerve
Whose needs do I serve
As Catherine's wheel turns
She was always the first to say gone
She's got her Catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
Go kindly with him
To his blind apparition
His face creases up
With age gone grey
He'll back here one day
She was always the first to say gone
She's got her Catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
She's got her Catherine wheels on
Wheels on
Catherine wheels
Catherine wheels
Catherine wheels
She's gone
Vanished in the night
Broke off the logic of light
He woke
Tore the covers back
Found he was empty inside
So they were told
When the moon would rise
The best time to leave with your soul
She's gone
But towards the light
Watching her whole life unfold
Bruises come out dark
So strong was his hold on her
Regarded by some as his slave
He spoke as in a stranger's tongue
Despair us and drive you away, hey
Bruises come out dark

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they wont win

See a man with a flag and he leads the procession
And a woman shedding tears for a man locked in prison
When the two locked eyes and for a moment I was taken
And all paths lead to a single conclusion
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
One man's ending is another one's beginning
Everything is good for you
It's a nightmare jump into the restless ocean
With a reckless calm to state their position
And if you come undone it might just set you free
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
One man's ending is another one's beginning
Bring back your head
We'll come struggle to turn the angry words
Cover you up
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
Is good for you

Worn out places

Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad

When you come across the sea
Me like a beacon guiding you to safety
The sooner the better now
And when you come the hills
Will breathe like a baby
Pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean
The sooner the better now
When you come to cover me with your kisses
Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions
And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why underneath the heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know I could never let you down
When you come like an iceberg float in darkness
Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea
I should know you better now
When you come your majesty
To entrap me
Prince of light receding
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses hard like armour
The sooner the better now
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions
And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why underneath the heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know I could never let you down

Coming in from a distance
Burning and exploding
Burning and exploding

There ain't nowhere you can hide
There's a different smile on your face today
Though you wear it well there's a lot to say
There's a different mood in the world tonight
If we can do it good we can do it right
John he washed it over with a confidence tan
I know peace and love ain't prevention
Brian in the closet with his master-plan
Build them up its so sad they forget you
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x2]
Are we not men, did you save us?
Are we not men, did you try, did you try?
We have been [Repeat: x3]
We have been denied

Yellow, black or white here in the circus of man
I don't know, I don't care, I forget you
[Chorus]
<@#Culture_Club_Melting_Pot.txt#@>
Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red indian boy
Oh like a curly latin kinkies
Oh lordy, lordy, mixed with yellow chinkees, yeah
You know you lump it all together
And you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all it's got
And keep it stirring for
A hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score
Rabbis and the friars
Vishnus and the gurus
We got the beatles or the sun god
Well it really doesn't matter
What religion you choose
And be thankful little mrs. Graceful
You know that livin' could be tasteful
We should all get together in a lovin machine
I think I'll call up the queen
It' s only fair that she knows, you know, you know
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all it's got
And keep it stirring for
A hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score
Coffee coloured people
Coffee coloured people

You took the sun from the sky, give it back
You know I wouldn't take a bullet for you
You bring me down 'cause of all that you lack
You're underhanded and you're sly with it too
In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we compromise
Reaching out for that one sensation, life
No time for wasting my time
I'm just trying to get the message through
You hold up a mirror to me
You know that all you'll ever see is you
All you'll ever see is you
You know you won't change the world from your back
But still you lie there like a vacant fool
What happens when all your credit runs out
And I have to be kind to be cruel
In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we close our eyes
Reaching out for that perfect love to survive hey, yeah, yeah

Like Alice in Wonderland
The dream takes you by the hand
Inside emotions that you might not feel
If by some notion the dream was not real
The dream, the dream, the dream
Watching the colors as they run
Figures you mold like the sun
Lovers can dream, devils can dream
You may be nowhere until you have seen
The dream, the dream, the dream whoa
Oh what have I done?
Close my eyes and I dream of some world
It could be magic, it could be tragic
Hee, dream

The time is precious I know
In time

The time has nothing to show

Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me
We know we've got
Nothin' but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time

Don't make me feel any colder
Time is like a clock in my heart
Touch we, touch was the

I felt I
Lost you from the start

The wind is in from africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here carey
But it's really not my home
My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy french cologne
Oh carey get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy, but I like you fine
Come on down to the mermaid cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Let's have another round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
Come on, carey, get out your cane
I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy, but I like you
Maybe I'll go to amsterdam
Or maybe I'll go to rome
And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room
But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now
The night is a starry dome.
And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll
Beneath the matalla moon
Come on, carey, get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
You're a mean old daddy, but I like you
The wind is in from africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here
But, it's really not my home
Maybe it's been too long a time
Since I was scramblin' down in the street
Now they got me used to that clean white linen
And that fancy french cologne
Oh carey, get out your cane
I'll put on my finest silver
We'll go to the mermaid cafe
Have fun tonight
I said, oh, you're a mean old daddy, but you're out of sight
<@#Cyndi_Lauper_Cyrus_In_The_Moonlight.txt#@>
Oh the hills are full of spirits
And they walk when night comes round
And they speak to who they choose to
When the moon is shining down
And ramona loves the orchard
And liza loves the pine
And cyrus in the moonlight
Loves the flowing of the wine
Oh cyrus trusts the spirits
And they fill his life with grace
Yeah the father of his fathers
Passed him down the gift of faith
And one night you might hear it
Like a wailing from above
It's just cyrus in the moonlight
Singing to the one he loves...
And the two girls start to dancing
When they hear that drunken voice
That's when cyrus asks the moonlight
Do I have to make a choice
'tween liza with her red hair
And ramona with her blues
And with all these gifts they bring me
Tell me how can I refuse
Well the hills are full of spirits
And they walk when night comes round
And they speak to who they choose to
When the moon is shining down
And ramona loves the orchard
And liza loves the pine
And cyrus in the moonlight
Loves the flowing of the wine
And one night you might hear it
Like a wailing from above
It's just cyrus in the moonlight
Singing to the one he loves...

Listen to the children sing
Watch them dancing all 'round the Christmas tree ...
Waiting for the opening
Early Christmas morning ...
All around the world is sleeping
Little children there's no peeping
Wait and see what Santa's bringing
Early Christmas morning ...
Icicles and breakfast cakes ...
Friends and family we will celebrate
Sounds that joy and laughter make
Early Christmas morning ...
All around and far off places
Angels waken smiling faces
Wrapping us with love and graces
Early Christmas morning ...

The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
Five days
I ran a wolf across highways
In the early spring (don't stop you're gonna break my heart)
The rest of my days
Should I stay should I pray
That I'm here now clear now
Live with the fears
To extend my tears
Shed no have no
Undecided
Five days in which I can't wait now (I need you)
Can't wait now (you needed me)
Bet you can't wait now (whatever happened to compatible two)
Making you wait now
I ran a wolf across highways in the early spring
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
Have I the meanings
I don't think I'm cheating
I create like the windy city (Don't go)
But the drums spread (I told you so)
Here we go with the games now
Maintain now
Might as well have you down now
Five days that you can't wait now (no need to smile)
Making you hate now
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
Bet you can't wait now
Making you wait now
Don't go I told you so
After what you've had
That look on your face you rat
When you talk like that
I just want to get you back
<@#Cyndi_Lauper_Hole_In_My_Heart.txt#@>
I've got a ticket, no turning back
My destination,
The sea of trouble, the land of pain
You're sending me where it always rains
Oh reconsider, I'm begging you, some hesitation
I'm holding on to my sanity
I feel the beginning of emergency
My hands are slipping, oh please don't let me fall into
[Chorus]
This hole in my heart that goes all the way to china
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of,
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down
I'm on a planet without a plan
It's oh so lonely
I need to see you to get out of here
There's something deadly in this atmosphere
I'm in a desert, without a drink of your sweet water
You're my oasis in the burning sand
I'm out of danger when you touch my hand
Throw me a lifeline, I'm standing on the edge of
[Chorus]
The gun was loaded, I didn't know
I pulled the trigger,
I heard a noise then the room went dark
I felt the bullet going in my heart
I feel so dizzy, oh please don't let me fall, don't leave me in
[Chorus]
I've got a hole in my heart
You've got to fill it up with love
<@#Cyndi_Lauper_If_By_Chance.txt#@>
It might just be too deep
We've turned your love into a hate
I can't wake you from this sleep
I can't lure you with this bait
And when you're all alone at night
I feel for you, I fight the fight
I need to know that where you go
Is real enough for me to know
And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?
It might just be too late
We've turned your heart into a stone
I can't save you from this fate
I can't help you be alone
And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?
Blood is thicker than water
That could be a bunch of lies
What makes me think I ought to
Hold reins on all the ties
And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?
And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?

Walked with no one and talked with no one
And I had nothing but shadows
Then one morning you passed
And I brightened at last
Now I greet the day and complete the day
With the sun in my heart
All my worry blew away
When you taught me how to say
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter-pat?
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid
This Rover crossed over
If I never have a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
Grab your street

Oh I just want to say,
I ain't gonna live that way 'cause

I don't want to live like that,
Just a product of misery.
I don't want to live like that.
Like her mother and hers before,
She left her heart out by the door.
Everybody passed it by.
They never bothered asking why
She stayed looked up inside,
Watching as the world turns by.
Now she's just a product of misery.
I don't want to live like that...

Buried with her wedding dress.

Sometimes I look at you
Feel like I make you blue
Wish I could make us all brand new
Wish I had some mystery left
To my personality
Then I could wink at you
And you'd laugh like you used to
You know I think we'll make it through
'Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
'Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
I know it's hard not to
Continue what we do
And remove a pattern
Like an old tattoo
I go with you
You go with me
But if we had some clarity
Well maybe we could stop ourselves
Before we both get silly
You know I think we'll make it through
'Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
We could move on if you wanted to
'Cause if it's all the same
I'd rather be with you
Always felt strong
We belong
From the first time you stood next to me
Am I still your girl?
'Cause in a crowded world
You are still the only man I see

This kind of love ain't right
Won't take us through the night
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you
Woke up to find myself
Standing in another day
Filled with anxiety
I'm praying for a different way
I give it all I have
Till I have no more to give
I used to think I'd die for love
Now I'd rather live
If everywhere you look, you find some misery
The view from there can make you feel
Just a little crazy
This kind of love ain't right
Won't take us through the night
Some think love equals pain, but...
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you
I think we got to get out of this rain
Stay walking through life
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
Dreams cut like a knife
When you think you shouldn't dream at all
I saw a dark cloud
Looks like it follows us around
It doesn't take that much, you know
To make it tumble down
How did we ever go from being so happy
To suffer alone and be strong
Just so we can keep on giving up
This kind of love ain't right
Won't take us through the night
Some think love equals pain, but...
This kind of love's not true
Not good for me or you
I think we got to get out of this rain
If everywhere you look, you find some misery
The view from there can make you feel
Just a little crazy

I want to lie next to you I want to lie next to you
And I want to do everything you want me to
And I want to do everything you want me to
Sometimes I wish at the sky But I'm not sure I know how

That's what I'm gonna do
Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I'm gonna swallow my pride
I'm gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me
I'm gonna walk by myself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh, for you baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Living for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
In my plea, I've got to make you see
That our love is dying
Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must explain
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna camp on your step
Until I get through to you
I've got to change your view baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do

Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road
Along the road
Your path may wander
A pilgrim's faith may fail
Absence makes the heart grow stronger
Darkness obscures the trail
Cursing the quest
Courting disaster
Measureless nights forebode
Moments of rest
Glimpses of laughter
Are treasured along the road
Along the road
Your steps may tumble
Your thoughts may start to stray
But through it all a heart held humble
Levels and lights your way
Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road
Somewhere along the road
Somewhere along the road

Be on you way
Don't try to say that
You love me still.
If we couldn't find
The right dream by now
Then we never will.
We paid our dues at the door
And never once saw the stage.
We wrote our share of love's lore
And never quite filled the page.
So be on your way.
Be on your way.
Maybe someday we will
Meet again.
Try not to cry
Tears make me think
How it might have been.
We loved as strong as we could
But love only got in our way.
We took our time to be free
There's nothing much more to say but
Be on your way.
<@#Dan_Fogelberg_Below_The_Surface.txt#@>
Some people tell you
They're trapped in the distance
And can't get what
They want most.
They throw a wall
And then call for assistance
And make no attempt to get close.
Oh, I think you should know
You've got to go slow
Below the surface
And easy through the waves.
Slow below the surface
And easy through the waves.
You're running so fast
That you can't find the past
And your future is wearing thin
Come from behind
It's a matter of time
'Til you see where you've always been
Oh, I think you should know
You've got to go slow
Below the surface
And easy through the waves
Slow below the surface
And easy through the waves.
Some people tell you they're in trapped in the distance
And can't get what they want most
They throw up a wall and then
Call for assistance
And make no attempt to get close.
Oh, I think you should know
You've got to go slow
Below the surface
And easy through the waves
Slow below the surface
And easy through the waves.
You know that your
Life must have a purpose
You better make a stand
While you still can.
<@#Dan_Fogelberg_Exiles.txt#@>
Exiles running from each other
We are exiles, living undercover
Looking for another day to make it all work out
Exiles standing in the shadows
We are exiles, weary of the battles
Looking for another day to make it all work out
You sit there and I sit here
Looking at you used to be like looking in a mirror
But now it's dark, no light reflects
It never ends like one expects
I don't know where we went wrong
If I knew that I'd never had to write this song
But here we stand so far apart
Separate pieces of a broken heart
We live like exiles running from each other
We are exiles, living undercover
Looking for another day to make it all work out
Exiles standing in the shadows
We are exiles, weary of the battles
Looking for another day to make it all work out
You said you need time to think
But I just couldn't go on living on the brink
So now we take this frozen stance
In hopes that we'll find one more chance
Different wants and different needs
Moving through our changes at such different speeds
I don't know why and I don't know when
But somewhere we'll find love again
Exiles running from each other
We are exiles, living undercover
Looking for another day to make it all work out
Exiles running from each other
We are exiles, living undercover
Looking for another day to make it all work out
Exiles standing in the shadows
We are exiles looking for another day to make it all work out
<@#Dan_Fogelberg_Holy_Road.txt#@>
Last night I dreamed I was looking down
On the planet earth spinning 'round and 'round
And as I cast my gaze about,
I watched her lovely light go out
The light went out
And floating in the black of space
I was looking into god's own face
And in his hand he held this tiny earth
He said well ain't it a shame what they've done to her
After I'd shown them to the holy road, the holy road
After I'd shown them to the holy road, the holy road
Well, I laid a bounty in their hands
And only gave them ten commands
But they never learned their lessons very well
And they drove my garden straight to hell
That's when they fell off of the holy road, the holy road
That's when they fell off of the holy road, the holy road
Let me tell you
Well the popes were frauds and the kings were fools
And your presidents only dupes and tools
And the money makers and the chiefs of staff
Who worshipped of that golden calf
They turned their backs upon the holy road, the holy road
They turned their backs upon the holy road, the holy road
And then I told him
Well you made the sun and you made the sky
The things that crawl and the things that fly
And then you made the human race
And he said well everybody makes mistakes
I thought they'd want to walk the holy road, the holy road
I thought they'd want to walk the holy road, the holy road
And even though it was just a dream
It seemed as real as it could seem
And often dreams the truth forebodes
You got to get back children on the holy road
Get back children on the holy road
Get back children on the holy road
Get back children on the holy road
Holy road, the holy road
Gotta get back on the holy road, the holy road
Gotta get back on the holy road, the holy road
Gotta get back on the holy road, the holy road
On the holy road, on the holy road
On the holy road people, on the holy road
On the holy road now, the holy road
On the holy road children, on the holy road
<@#Dan_Fogelberg_Leader_Of_The_Band.txt#@>
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
My brother's lives were different for they heard another call
One went to Chicago and the other to St Paul
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose and come to know so well
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
And papa, I don't think I said I love you near enough
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
I am a living legacy to the leader of the band
<@#Dan_Fogelberg_Lonely_In_Love.txt#@>
Some say that love is its own
Love is its own reward
But I can't help but believe
There's got to be more.
A man needs a woman
To have and to hold
To love him in body
As well as in soulI need your desire
Where did the fire go?
I keep trying to sleep
But sleep won't be mine tonight
There's so much sorrow inside
And baby, I don't know why.
I give you your freedom
I give you my love
I give all I have every time that we touch
I don't know, baby,
Maybe I give too much.
Now I'm lonely in love
Why must I be lonely in love
I'm so lonely in love
Baby why must I be lonely
Why must I be lonely in love.
I know that love carries no
She carries no guarantees
But still I can't seem to
Find a reason that I can believe in
You said to be patient
And give you some room
You said you had changes
You need to work through
But the longer I wait
The farther I feel from you.
Now I'm lonely in love
Why must I be lonely in love
I'm so lonely in love
Baby why must I be lonely
Why must I be lonely in love.
Now I'm lonely in love
Why must I be lonely in love
I'm so lonely in love
Baby why must I be lonely
Why must I be lonely in love.
Baby, you're my one and only
Why do you keep me lonely in love.

Let us say them
I know all too well
How people's lies
Betray them

More than ever
I will need you to care
And I'll never need
More than a prayer
To be near you

Found in the rain born of fever
She'll bring you pretty songs
Laced through with lies
But don't you believe her

I'll wait for you there
More than ever
I will need you to care
And I'll never need
More than a prayer
To be near you
To be near you

Here is a poem
That my lady sent down
Some morning while
I was away.
Wrote on the back of
A leaf that she found
Somewhere around Monterey.
And here is the key
To a house far away
Where I used to live
As a child.
They tore down the building
When I moved away
And left the key unreconciled.
And down in the canyon
The smoke starts to rise.
It rides on the wind
Till it reaches your eyes.
When faced with the past
The strongest man cries...cries.
And down in the canyon
The smoke starts to rise.
It rides on the wind
Till it reaches your eyes.
When faced with the past
The strongest man cries...cries.
And here is a sunrise
To set on your sill.
The ghosts of the dawn
Moving near.
They pass through your sorrow
And leave you quite still...
Sitting among souvenirs.

Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come out come out
Can you not see
There's no place here
What were you expecting
No room for both
Just room for me
So you lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone and given me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say
You feel the right to remain
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say
Your father's spirit still lives in this place
I will silence you
Here's the hitch
Your horse is leaving
Don't miss the boat
It's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside from me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
And I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
Cause you're all dead now
I live with my justice
I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
I live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water.

Roll the red carpet out with friends
To whom, to love and roll on

And tonight my dance is all about you
To midnight love you,

Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee

And turned to the gate
On my way came up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone
From hand to hand
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
Could Dad be God
Crosses cross hung out like a wet rag
Forgive you? Why?
You hung me out to dry
Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
But laughing out loud makes
It all subside
Holding, I'm holding
I'm still falling
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of this
And turned to the gate
But on my way
Crack
Lightning and thunder
I hid my head
And the storm slipped away
Well maybe I'm crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all alright
Laughing out loud
From time to time
Minutes and hours
Some move ahead while
Some lag behind
It's like the balloon that
Rise and then vanish
This drop of hope
That falls from his eyes
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I think of this
And turn to go away
But as I walk
There are voices behind me saying
Sinners sin
Come now and play

Hey, my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off of your mind
See, you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
And so can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
We'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not where but who you're with
That really matters
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around
When you're around
And if you hold on tight
To what you think is your thing
You may find you're missing all the rest
She ran up into the light surprised
Her arms are open
Her mind's eye is...
Seeing things from a
Better side than most can dream
On a better road I feel
So you could say she's safe
Whatever tears at her
Whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done
She'll make the best of what's around
Turns out not where but what you think
That really matters
That really matters
That really matters
And hurts not much when you're around

Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
'Cause we're tripping billies
We're wearing nothing
Nothing but out shadows
Shadows falling down on the beach sand
Remembering once,
Out on the beaches we wore
Pineapple grass bracelets
So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race
'Cause we're tripping billies
We are all sitting
Legs crossed round a fire
My yellow flame she dances
Tequila drinking oh our

To wonderous places
So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race
Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die

Take my Silver Eagle
And my name up in lights
And those big blue diamonds

You could tell she was not happy by the way she kept on staring
Past the other side of nowhere at a man she'd like to try
And the makeup she had painted could not hide the youthful motions
Of her body fom the music or the crowd
I started like all the others with my right hand in the pocket
While she showed us everything the law allowed
(Play it Pete Drake)
[ steel - fiddle ]
Twenty bucks an hour later my one bedroom apartment
I was feeling weak from all the seeds I'd sown
She was sweet she was gentle as she introduced my body
To some pleasures it had never ever known
When I woke up in the morning she was a laying there beside me
Like a kitten with her face turned to the sun
And a look of satisfaction on her lips that make me wonder
If she ever felt ashamed of what we'd done
So I left her in Atlanta...

How do you spell relief?
I get D-are-you-N-K

That'll take the hurt away
Well how do you spell relief John?
I get D-are-you-N-K
Every night about sundown I get a pain down deep inside
This old broken heart acts up
There's a hurtin' in my pride
Well I've found a sure fire treatment
That'll get me feelin' right
When your memory starts flarin' up
I just head for the neon lights
How do you spell relief David?
I get D-are-you-N-K

I don't need no doctor
Tell me what is wrong

And it lasts me all night long
It's the perfect medication
For an ailment such as mine
I forget about the tears I've cried
When the whiskey hits my mind
How do we spell relief?
We get D-are-you-N-K
Lately since my baby left me
I do it almost every day
Well I tell ya Johnny
Its the only thing I've found
That'll take the pain away

I'd sing the Red River Valley
And he'd sit in the kitchen and cry
Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'
Wonder Lord has every well I drilled ran dry
We were friends me and that old man
Like desperados waiting for the train
Like desperados waiting for the train
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
And an old school man of the world
Taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls
And our lives was like some old western movie
Like desperados waiting for the train like desperados waiting for the train
From the time that I could walk he take me with him
To a place called the Green Frog Cafe
There was old men with beer guts and dominos
Lyin' bout their lives while they'd play
And I was just a kid that they all called his sidekick
Like desperados waiting for the train
Like desperados waiting for the train
Now I looked up and he was pushin' eighty
And there's brown tobacco stains all down his chin
To me he's one of the heroes of this country
So why's he all dressed up like some old men
Drinking beer and playing moon and 42
Like desperados waiting for the train
Like desperados waiting for the train
Then just before he died I went to see him
I was grown and he was almost gone
We just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
And sang another verse to that old song
(Don't cry Jack it's only Jesus comin')
Like desperados waiting for the train
Like desperados waiting for the train
Like desperados waiting for the train
<@#David_Allan_Coe_Family_Album.txt#@>
On Sunday after church there'd always be a picnic
There'd be kinfolks callin' until dawn
Me I'd play the guitar and my Uncle Merle would sing
And grandpa he'd play that fiddle all night long
Now the women folk they would work out in the kitchen
You could smell that food for miles and miles around
Paw he was prayin' my brother Jack would bring him down some moonshine
Just so's that he could warsh those viddle down
As soon as all the kids got tired of playin' horseshoes
Mama she'd call me over to her side
You know she'd say I'd like to take some pictures
You could see her face light up with pride
And then she'd bring out that worn out family album
Its faded pictures some with corners torn
She'd laugh and poin and tell me funny stories
And look she'd say why that's the day that you were born
And I'd sit and reminisce each picture with her
And I'd listen to her laughter and her sighs
But underneath I knew how much I'd hurt her
For I'd put teardrops in my mama's eyes
In my mama's eyes I've never done a wrong thing
I was still a baby in my mama's eyes
That old family album she'll keep on her night stand
Right next to the Bible until the day she dies
Through all those years in prison she stuck by me
And she came to visit anytime she could
Well I remember at my trial when she testified she loved me
And she told the judge I'd always been so good
Then later through the fame she watched me blossom
From just a local country singer to a great big star
She listened to all my records for the hidden meanings
And she came to hear me sing in all those dim lit bars
And she read all the things they wrote about me
But she knew deep in her heart that it was lies
No she don't hide her head in shame when someone says my name
You'll find no teardrops in my mama's eyes
In my mama's eyes...
Right next to the Bible until the day she dies

I want you to love the things you love and even more
Follow me, follow me
Less gives less and more gives more
Is your love sweeter now than it was before?
Cross-purpose love it never flies
True love's pure it magnifies
Follow me, follow me
It always surprises me when I make you laugh
When you laugh at me
Follow me, follow me
Makes me want to do it more
I like your laugh, it pleases me
I see the lake behind the trees
Flashing in ones and twos and threes
Follow me, follow me
There is nothing you need that you don't have or can't do
I have love and so I stay, I have none so I go away
Follow me, follow me
You have no love, you need me now
So I go away, I free you now
I'll see you later on my love
Got to go down to rise above
Follow me, follow me
You would love to see me now, you'd love to be with me
Follow me, follow me
Hold me close and don't let go
Don't say yes, don't say no
I see the lake behind the trees
Flashing in ones and twos and threes
Follow me, follow me
There is nothing you need that you don't have or can't do

The last verse was the hardest the hardest to get through
This verse for old lost lovers this song I wrote for you
She's at the point of no return there's no more candles left to burn
She's broken every chain that bound her to your soul
She doesn't care what's right or wrong you've been her victim for too long
She knows you're too weak to be strong you'll lose control
Nothing seems to bother her she's as cool as cool has ever been
She knows she can handle you you've been her fool since God knows when
[ sax ]
There's no more chances left to take you're just another heart she'll break
You're not the first one or the last to come along
She knows exactly how you feel you think you got a dirty deal
You left your heart where she could steal it for a song

Tell Dallas there's a change in plans I won't be comin' home

Then we moved to Texas on a fifty acre farm

But I guess I tipped my hand and wound up in the pen
Say goodbye to Houston for me...

Well I'm just an old man now covered with scars
Most of them I got fightin' in them redneck bars
And A bunch of brand new tattoos that Squench put on me
He covered up the ones I'd gotten years ago
Back in prison when I was just Dave Coe
And I wasn't famous then and I wasn't free
You know I grew up in a three room run down shack
At the foot of the hill by the railroad track
Where decent folks don't go when the sun goes down
My daddy worked at the Goodyear tire and rubber company
And he worked on cars
My momma went to church and my daddy went to bars
Most people just called it the hillbilly part of town
I had a '55 Chevy when I was fifteen
I painted it red cause I was still green
Hell I couldn't even afford to buy it gas
Had A. 410 rifle and a bowie knife to
Red Man tobacco that I liked to chew
And we'd count the cars when the trains went past
And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass
Chorus
If that ain't country it'll hair lip the pope
If that ain't country it's a damn good joke
I've been on the Grand Ol Opry and I know Johnny Cash
And if he ain't country i'll kiss your ass
You know one of my sisters was a lady of the night
Then one day she saw the light
Now she don't do those things that she used to do
She never made the funeral when my daddy died
I said I'd forgive her but I guess I lied
Cause there ain't no way to hide the way that I feel
Me and my brothers took our sister Diane
Down to the funeral home to see the old man
Jimmy was the oldest and Diane she was the youngest one
Jack and Ray was in the middle and then there was me
And I'm the one that turned 23
And grew up to be that yankee's rebel son
Times are changing I heard Bob Dylan say
It's been fifteen now since my father passed away
But I can still picture him in his overalls
Standin' around the house where he made his deals
Around the porch there was a bunch of old wheels
And some used Harley Davidson parts that he sold for cash
There was fifty holes in an old tin roof
Me and my family was livin' proof
Everybody called us old poor white trash
And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass
Chorus
If that ain't country it'll hair lip the pope
If that ain't country it's a damn good joke
I've been on the Grand Ol Opry and I know Johnny Cash
And if he ain't country i'll kiss your ass
And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass

The Jimmy Buffer Song
David Allen Coe
Prelude:
This song is for all the people that's been reviewing our records and say we
sound a lot like Jimmy Buffet because we live in Key West and use Congo drums
in our songs. For all those people that live in Key West and are under the
misconception that Mr. Buffet live in Key West and we'd like to say there's a
lot of things in Key West, as a matter of fact, there's
Chorus:
There's sailboats and conk shells and palm trees galore,
But Jimmy Buffet doesn't live in Key West anymore
Sister spare change has a bumper sticker on the door
Says Jimmy Buffet doesn't live here any more
Verse 1:
Hey smugglers need those Buffet songs, snitching on the sly
Bringing heat where it's already to damn hot to die
Son of a son of bitch, what's all that bullshit for
Jimmy Buffet doesn't' live in Key West anymore
Verse 2
Sailing to the Caribbean Jimmy might well be
Pictures up in Rollin' Stone for all the world to see
The rich keep getting richer, the poor they just stay poor
Jimmy buffet doesn't' live in Key West anymore
Verse 3
Now Jimmy's moved to Malibu with all those other stars
He's not down at in Duval Street hangin' out in bars
All them God damned tourist, got to be a bore.
Jimmy Buffet doesn't live here any more
Verse 4
So don't tell me I sound like Jimmy Buffet
Just because I got that island beat
Jimmy might have grown up on the ocean
Me, I kinda grown up on the street
Music's just a way of life, me I'm liv'in free
Don't lay all that Key West Jimmy Buffet shit on me
Verse 5
Now Divers Do It Deeper must have really made them mad
Some of them reviewers said it really sounded bad
Well they liked Margaritaville, me I liked it too
Someday Jimmy, why don't we just both get drunk and screw
Oh those creepy Mother Fuckers that think music is a whore
Tell that you just don't live in Key West anymore
Chorus:
There's sailboats and conk shells and palm trees galore,
But Jimmy buffet doesn't live in Key West anymore
Sister spare change has a bumper sticker on the door
Says Jimmy Buffet doesn't live here any more

Everybody knows that
I've had my share of fair weather lovers
They always leave just ahead of the rain
Searching for sunshine and looking for pleasure
Two steps ahead of the last hurricane
If this is a chance then I'm gonna take it
Heaven knows I've taking chances before
It's hard to live with your eyes on the sparrow
Unless you first take your feet off the shore
There's not a cloud up in the sky
Give me one good reason why
We should set our sails for somewhere
Other that the sunny side of nowhere
Freedom's in the eagles wings, baby
Listen to those seagulls sing, maybe
Love is just a porpoise
Playing in the tropical sun
Let me tell you girl
That ocean get big when your
Halfway across it
And this ship of love's seen a lot of bad days
Sometimes it's harder to row with the current
Most of my life I've just rocked on the waves
If this is a game then I'm gonna play it
I need your love like those sails need wind
Just climb aboard, girl, and pull up the anchor
Now is the time for our love to begin
Woo, there's not a cloud up in the sky
Not a cloud up in the sky
Not a cloud up in the sky
Give me one good reason why
It's a fairy tale morning
<@#David_Allan_Coe_Merle_And_Me.txt#@>
Back in 1953, we stole a car old Merle and me
Never thinking wed be put in jail
You might say that we were green, I was barely seventeen
When they put those bars between old Merle and me
Late one night we hit the wall, twenty feet we had to fall
To the ground where we could craw into the weeds
Waiting for that shotgun blast, never thinking we could last
We sure had to grow up fast, old Merle and me
We were young and crazy then, it was easy to pretend
Acting like wed never been in reform school
Looking danger in the eye, walking with our heads held high
We were not afraid to die, old Merle and me
We were living by the gun, never caring what wed done
Swearing it was all just fun and games you know
We would die and go to hell before we broke our vow to tell
How we escaped that prison cell, old Merle and me
How was Merle or me to know, we would end up on death row
Waiting for our turn in the electric chair
Shot down in a grocery store, we got busted at the door
Praying wasn't easy for old Merle and me

My daddy was an honest man, just a redneck Georgia farm boy
My momma spent her short life, raisin' kids and bailin' hay
And I was just fifteen when I ached inside to wonder
So I hoped a freight in Waycross and I rode it to L.A.
Well, I met a girl known on the strip as San Francisco's Maybel Joy
Destitution's child, born on a L.A. street called Shane
And sleep came and left this little Waycross Georgia country boy
Maybel Joy was gone, Lord, I'd never see her again
Growin' up came quietly in the arms of Maybel Joy
Laughter found our morning's, brought new meaning to my life
I woke up one day, Lord to find that I was by myself
With dreams of Georgia cotton and California wine
Sunday mornin' found me standin' 'neath the red-light of her door
Right 'cross sent me reelin', laid me face down on the floor
In place of Maybel Joy I found a merchant mad marine
Who said, "Your Georgia neck is red but son you're still green"
Well, I turned twenty one in gray rock federal prison
The judge, he had no mercy on this Waycross, Georgia boy
Sometimes at night in silence, Lord, I'd listen
That same old freight to take me back to Maybel Joy
Cold nights had no pity on this Waycross, Georgia farm boy
Springtime turned to summer and then the winter came
Starin' at those four gray walls in silence, Lord, I'd listen
Somewhere in the distance to the whistle of the train
Sunday morning found me lying 'neath the red light of her door
With a bullet in my side I cried, "Have you seen Maybel Joy?"
Stunned and shaken someone said, "Son, she don't live here no more"
She left this town ten years ago, I heard she's looking for
Some Georgia farm boy"

By David Allan Coe
Dedication: They told me George Jones was full of whiskey and he couldn't sing
anymore. They said he was skinny and sickly looking and he was through. I told
'em he was one of my best friends and whiskey could never make Gorge Jones
quit singing. George was on the wagon when we done this song but he sings like
he wishes he had a drink.
Last week he spent his whole pay check on whiskey
I know friday night he'll do it all again
Oh he'll drink till he falls down
Then he'll order one more round
And then go home with that bottle in his hand
And the only thing I can hold on to
Is this bottle in my hand
I know I'll never have to share it
With any other man
I'm so glad you introduced us
And I'll do the best I can
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand
She told george that changing diapers
Could sure become A drag
And to clean the house and cook for him
Was not her kind of bag
She said she needed someone
Who would love and understand
Then she left him with that bottle in his hand
And the only thing I can hold on to
Is this bottle in my hand
I know I'll never have to share it
With any other man
I'm so glad you introduced us
And I'll do the best I can

Oh, Blue Jean, is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean
She got a police bike
She got a turned up nose
Sometimes I feel like
(Oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean
(Oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me
(Oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me
(Oh, somebody send me)
One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
One day I'm gonna get that faculty together
Remember that everybody has to wait in line
Blue Jean, look out world you know I've got mine
She got Latin roots
She got everything.

See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Colder than the moon
Well, it's been so long
And I've been running on fire
With gasoline
See these eyes so red
Red like jungle burning bright
Those who feel me near
Pull the blinds and change their minds
It's been so long
Still this pulsing night
A plague I call a heartbeat
Just be still with me
But you wouldn't believe what I've been through
You've been so long, well, it's been so long
And I've been putting out the fire with gasoline
Putting out the fire with gasoline
See these tears so blue
An ageless heart that can never mend
Tears can never dry
A judgement made can never bend
See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Just be still with me
You wouldn't believe what I've been through
Well you've been so long, it's been so long
And I've been putting out fire with gasoline
Putting out fire with gasoline
Putting out fire
I've been putting out fire
Well it's been so long, so long, so long
Yes it's been so long, so long, so long
I've been putting out fire
Been so long, so long, so long
Been so long, so long, so long
Been so long, so long, so long

You never told me of your other faces
You were the widow of a wild cat
And now I know about your special kisses
And I know you know where that's at
I guess I recognize your destination
I think I see beneath your makeup
What you want is so separation
This is no ordinary
This is no ordinary
(Oh, oh, oh)
What a criminal world
The boys are like baby-faced girls
What a criminal girl
She'll show you where to shoot your gun
What a typical mother's son
The only thing that she enjoys
Is a criminal world
Where the girls are like baby-faced boys
You've got a very heavy reputation
But no-one knows about your low-life
I know a way to find a situation
And hold a candle to your high-life disguise
You caught me kneeling at your sister's door
That was no ordinary stick-up
I'm well aware just what you're looking for
I am no ordinary
I am no ordinary
(Oh, oh, oh)
What a criminal world
The boys are like baby-faced boys
What a criminal girl
She'll show you where to shoot your gun
What a typical mother's son
The only thing that she enjoys
Is a criminal world
Where the girls are like baby-faced boys
Baby-faced boys
Baby-face
What a criminal world
What a criminal
Criminal
What a criminal world
What a criminal

I'm on my own, nowhere to roam
I tell you baby, don't want no home
I wander round, feet off the ground
I even go from town to town
I said I think this rock is grand
Say I'll be your man
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down
I met this chick, the other day
And then to me, she said she'll stay
I get this pad, just like a cave
And then we'll have, our living made
And then I'll lead her on the ground
My head is spinning round
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down
I, I, I, I, I need a lover 'cause someone new
And then to her I will be true
I'll buy her furs and pretty things
I'll even buy a wedding ring
But until then I'll settle down
Say I'll be your man
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Until then I'll settle down
Say I'll be your man
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down

Everybody seems to nag me
Coming Tuesday I feel better
Even my old man looks good

Thursday goes too slow
I've got Friday on my mind

(See my baby)
Gonna have fun in the city

Do the five day drag once more (Monday blue)
There is nothing else that bugs me
More than working for the rich men (poor man, beggar

Hey I'll change that scene one day
Today I might be mad
Tomorrow I'll be glad
'Cause I'll have Friday on my mind

Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
Come get up my baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come get up my baby
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Some of these days, and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty foot long
Don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I believe oh Lord

Come get up my baby
There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years

So come on, come on, we've really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on, if you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
We can't dance, we don't talk much, we just ball and play

Well the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
You're the blessed, we're the spiders from Mars

And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, forever and ever

Though nothing, nothing will keep us together

Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes

Bodies go to body hell

Switch the channel, watch the police car

I just sit back and ignore
'Cause I just can't get it right, can't get it right

I can drive down the road
My eyes can't see
But my mind wants to cry out loud
I can walk down the street
There's no one there
The pavement is one huge crowd
I can drive down the road
My eyes can't see
But my mind wants to cry out loud

I keep forgetting you don't love me no more
I keep forgetting that you told me that you
Didn't want me around any more
But these stupid old feet
Just head for your street
Like they've done so many times before
And this stubborn old fist
On the end of my wrist
Keeps a knocking on your front door
[Chorus: x2]
I keep forgetting you don't love me no more
I keep forgetting bout those heartbreaking nights
And those heartbreaking things
That you said
Though I know in my heart
We're drifting apart
I can't believe that our love is dead
Though it's plain as can be
That you're finished with me
I just can't get it through my head
[Chorus: x2]
Though I know in my heart
We're drifting apart
I can't believe that our love is dead
Though it's plain as can be
That you're finished with me

She lit a cigarette
Both hands behind her back
Thought she was hungry
Lack of choice saw to that
Only you can try to see
What I'm really like
She said, only you can understand
The way I feel tonight
She blamed excesses
On the American dream
So seldom witnessed
Never seen
Imagination could make a man of you
Imagination could make me love you too
Imagination is all I want from you
She lost her virtue
Before she could write
I lost mine too
On my very first night with you
You'll have to guide me
These impossible schemes
You make me steal
Unstealable things
She blamed excesses
On the American dream
So seldom witnessed
Never seen
Imagination could make a man of you
Imagination could make me love you too
Imagination is all I want from you
And she blamed excesses
On the American dream
So seldom witnessed
Never seen
Imagination could make a man of you
Imagination could make me love you too
Imagination is all I want from you

Skin sweet with musky oil
The lady from another grinning soul
Cologne she'll wear. Silver and Americard
She'll drive a beetle car
And beat you down at cool Canasta
And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room
Touch the fullness of her breast. Feel the love of her caress
She will be your living end
She'll come, she'll go. She'll lay belief on you
But she won't stake her life on you
How can life become her point of view
And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room
Touch the fullness of her breast. Feel the love of her caress
She will be your living end

Because you already know
But they can't take it away, they can't take it away
But they can't take it away, they can't take it away

And still it grows at the center
I will always remember
Years gone by
Seems like you're still here
Every night in my dreams
You remind me with kisses so tender
I will always remember
Never been one to give my heart up so easily
But now you're gone wish I'd given my heart completely
In the touch of a stranger I can feel you
In the eyes of a child I see your face
Your hold on my soul
Keeps me from danger
No matter how hard I try
These memories I can't erase
People come and people go
But your touch cuts me deeper
And still it grows at the center
I will always remember
Years gone by
Seems like you're still here
Every night in my dreams
You remind me with kisses so tender
I will always remember
In the brush of a stranger I can feel you
In the eyes of a child I see your face
Your hold on my soul
Keeps me from danger
No matter how hard I try
These memories I can't replace.

You helped me to find my way home

<@#David_Pomeranz_Tell_Me.txt#@>
Every night, and I can't help but cry
And I wonder why you have to leave me
Why did it have to end so soon
When you said that you would never leave me
Ohhh tell me
Where did I go wrong
What did I do to make you change your mind completely
When I thought this love would never end
If this love was not ours to have
I'll let it go with your good bye
Ohhh why did it have to end so soon
When you said that you would never leave me
Ohhh tell me

I'll let it go with your good bye

All I do is dream of you the whole night through
Where the dawn I still go on dreaming of you
You're every thought you're everything you're every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn and spring
And where them all and 24 hours a day
Let be spent in sweet content dreaming away
When skies are gray when skies are blue
Morning, noon and nighttime too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you
And where them all and 24 hours a day
Let be spent in sweet content dreaming away
When skies are gray when skies are blue
Morning, noon and nighttime too

All I have to give to you is my love

I wish that I could give you more than just my love
The world and its treasures, the sun, the moon, the stars above
I'll build you castles towering to the sky
We'll be next door to heaven
You and I
Until these things come true
My love will have to do
This is all I have to give to you
I'll build you castles towering to the sky
We'll be next door to heaven
You and I
Until these things come true
My love will have to do
This is all I have to give to you

Goodbye, goodbye to Rome
City of a million moonlit faces
City of a million warm embraces
Where I found the one of all the faces
Far from home

It's time for us to part
Save the wedding bells for my returnin'
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearnin'
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burnin'
In her heart

He walked along Broadway
They called him Beau James
The city streets were his pals
The lights were his gals
His favorite flames
He wrote on the sidewalk in big white chalk
Jimmy Walker loves New York
Oh how that love affair
Lit up Times Square
He walked along Broadway and blew her a kiss
The many years have gone by
You still hear her sigh
No kiss was like this
And though the town fell out of love with him
And called him a few unkind names
Yet one will always remember, remain
Beau James, Beau James, Beau James

I feel like runnin' away from it all
My love is been untrue, she's found somebody new

I feel like cryin', dyin', what can I do?
I feel like prayin', sayin', I'm gladly through

How can I make believe that I don't sit and grieve

Dinah, is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her
Show her to me
Dinah, with her Dixie eyes blazing
How I'd like to sit and gaze in

Every night why do I shake with fright?
Because my Dinah might change her mind about me
Got to tell you about Dinah
If she went to China
I'd would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee

Am I a fool without a mind
Or have I merely been too blind to realize
Oh Gigi
Why you've been growing up before my very eyes
Gigi
You're not at all that funny awkward little girl I knew
Oh no
Overnight there's been a breathless change in you
Oh Gigi
While you were trembling on the brink
Oh Gigi
Have I been standing up too close or back too far
When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire
Oh what miracle has made you the way you are
Gigi
While you were trembling on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star
Oh Gigi
Have I been standing up too close or back too far
When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire
Oh what miracle has made you the way you are

There's soda pop and the dancin's free
And if wanna have fun come along with me
Hey, good lookin', what you got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?
I'm free and ready so we can go steady
How's about savin' all your time for me?
No more lookin', I know I've been tooken
How's about keepin' steady company?
Throw my date book over the fence
Find me one for five or ten cents

Hey brother, pour the wine
Drink the drink that I have made

Tell you why the day is sunny
I'm in love with lips of honey
Wait 'til you see the way she walks
Hey brother, pour the wine
She is coming here to stay
Hey brother, pour the wine
I have waited for the day
Hey brother, pour the wine
She writes of love in every letter
Others have tried but I will get her
Wait 'til you see the way she walks
Hey brother, pour the wine
What is life? What is spring?
What are all the stars that shine?
Love, my friend is everything
And love will soon be mine
Pour it as quickly as you can
Hey brother, pour the wine
Pour it quickly once again
Hey brother, pour the wine
She's here at last my one and only
Goodbye friends and don't be lonely
Wait 'til you see the way she walks

Blink your eyes and love has passed
Hey brother, pour the wine
Her's was never made to last
Hey brother, pour the wine

Land of stardust and land of glamour
Vistavision and cinerama
Everyone considers it a must
To get to Hollywood or bust
Kids from Kansas to Pennsylvania
Soon develop that movie mania
Driving their jalopies through the dust
And out to Hollywood or bust
Underneath that moonlight in Malibu
Lovers stroll in the dark
Jeepers creepers ten to one sleepers are winning at Hollywood Park
Land of burgers and land or weenies
Bathing beauties in their bikinis
Mingle with the lower upper crust
You'll see your favorite dolly out and jolly

See the tree how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted
It was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
It wouldn't die
Came running in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart
I loved her so
I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve
Two years ago
It would sure embarrass her
When I came home from working late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sitting there and crying
Over some sad and silly
Late, late show
And Honey, I miss you
I'm being good
I'd love to be with you
If only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And found her crying needlessly
In the middle of the day
It was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And Honey, I miss you
And I'm being good
I'd love to be with you
If only I could
Yes, one day while I wasn't home
When she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories
Of Honey and I wake up nights
And call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
A small cloud passes overhead
And cries down in the flower bed
That Honey loved
See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted
It was just a twig

I feel like a feather in the breeze
Riding on high, high in the sky
Honey and I walking on air
Since the moment that she told me she cared
Feel like a feather in the breeze
Floating through space in your embrace
Dancing on clouds way up above
Since the second that you beckoned my love
I'm happy
So happy when you're near
My troubles just disappear
As soon as you're by my side well I'm satisfied
I feel like a feather in the breeze
Having my fun, kissing the sun
And it's because you are the one
So I'm singing like the birdies in the trees
And feeling like a feather in a breeze
I'm happy
So happy when you're near
My troubles just disappear
As soon as you're by my side well I'm satisfied
I feel like a feather in the breeze
Having my fun, kissing the sun
And it's because you are the one
So I'm singing like the birdies in the trees
And feeling like a feather
Feeling like a feather
Feeling like a feather
Feeling like a feather in the breeze

Fabulous creature without any doubt

And yet I guess she's really rather special for a girl
For once you've seen her the others are not
Hey what am I getting so excited about
But so what what has she got others have not
Two eyes two lips a nose all girls have some of those
But when she looks up at me what do I see
The most enchanting face my pulse begins to race
Hey I met a girl a marvelous girl
She rarer than uranium and fairer than a pearl
Found me a treasure and I want to shout

If love is good to me
Clouds will cry and rain will fall

If love is good to me
There always will be skies of blue above me
Just as long as Mother Nature makes you love me
Leaves will fall from winter's chill
I'll recall a summer thrill
That once you gave to me
These wonderous things each year

In everything that's light and gay

No more doubt or fears I've found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lucky day
Now you're here, now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fears I've found my way

If at your window you see a gentle dove
Treat it with care and welcome it there with love
It may be so I do not deny its glee
Crown it with flowers grant love it's hours for me

Won't you say that you love me
All my passions so tender oh please surrender your love divine

Forbidden ways now in his head

One mind divided into three, for every problem a personality
Each one trying to protect, for the crisis a person they'll select
With sorrow comes reassurance, with confusion there's ignorance
Deny who they are, a fantasy gone gone too far
Protecting the weak points of the mind
Defensive personalities
Violent one minute calm the next
Defensive Personalities
Passed down from generations, years of pain and complication
Darkness was a punishment, memories time cannot mend
Brutalized from the day of birth, to reality they can't return
Existing in a world of three lives inside of one

Things they cannot understand
An excuse to cover up weaknesses that lie within

Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment

Reaching into the minds of those that created
The depression in which they
In which they drowned their flesh and blood

So easy to blame the
Everlasting fear on a pathetic attempt

Every day blows by in a world of corrupt addiction
With life comes pain withdrawals and deformation
Breaking the mould human appearance
Contorting bodies with chemical interference
The guilty one, innocent she now cries
A life of hell, better off to die
Born without eyes, hands, and a half a brain
Being born addicted to cocaine
Living monstrosity
A freak for life they'll always be
Never knowing love or hate
Only pain the drug create
Some say she's naive, she's a stupid bitch
Some say to forgive, guilty she should die
The beginning of the end begins at birth
Breeding masses of twisted screaming flesh
An example we should make out of theses creators of misfortune
A serious crime that should not be forgiven
The guilty one, innocent she now cries
A life of hell, better off to die
Born without eyes, hands, and a half a brain
Being born addicted to cocaine

Garbaggio from the men in grey
Don't do this

Fat cat's licking cream
Dirty business
Hard and mean
Narrow eyes and hungry days

A better way
Something here about my face
Something make you think
I got time to waste
What you doing
Standing here
Why don't you call
Someone who cares
Fat cats all the same
Easy answers just a game
Another day nothing changes
There's got to be a better way
A glistening of questioners
Prepared the inquisition
While jackals in the shadows
Manoeuvre for position
A fundament of righteous men
A barrow ideals
The carriage of misjustice
Crushes all beneath it's wheels
Conspiracies of silence
Within the temple walls
Graveyards full of promises
Tha no one can recall
A castle full of rascals
A fortress full of thieves
A parliament of silver tongues
That latter to deceive
Oh my darling Carolina
If you get the chance
To walk behind here
She's so clean
You see no splash
Just the Texas chainsaw massacre
Fat cat's got to go

From my headache to my toes
She's trying to set the world on fire

When the night wind softly blows through my open window
Then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy
Now the night wind softly blows sadness to tomorrow
Bringing tears to eyes so tired
Eyes I thought could cry no more
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow
In my dark and whispering room
Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings
Take my hand and brush my brow
In the warm and fevered dark
Heart is madly beating
My crazy thoughts are burning
When the night winds softly blow
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying

If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone

Throwing up a brick
No one came I threw one more
That really did the trick
Your daddy came and banged my head
He said what kind of man
Is this that's hanging 'round my girl
And threw me in the can
You're a farmer's daughter
You're a farmer's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta get
I won't get no more eggs and water
Now I've laid the farmer's daughter
Imagine I was a full-grown man
And I could talk just right
Could I come and see you here
And do this every night
Wham! The door comes crashing down
Your daddy's face all pale
Says come with me you hairy bum
I'll put you in my jail
You're a judge's daughter
You're a judge's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta get
Now I'm getting jail and torture
'Cause I made the judge's daughter
It seems they're screaming law and order
When I go with anyone's daughter
Woman I should like some peace
And daddy hold your tongue
I think you're gonna die of fright
When I tell you what I've done
I can hear your tales and lies
You say I'm dumb and scraggy
But man this dumb and scraggy is
Your daughter's baby's daddy
She's a lucky daughter

Now I've got what I always fought for
'Cause I've married a rich man's daughter

I'm not alone I see the same old faces
Back on the road it's a worthy opponent
I get home in the heat of the moment
What's that stuff always rise to the surface
College cream, it always emerges
Be what you are I tell myself
And myself tells me we can't be anybody else
You always sleep with a smile on your face
Much as I want to put myself in your place
Not my business I've got dreams of my own
I try to recall but when I wake up it's gone
Don't let go of that image
You'll never see it again
I can hear voices they're buzzing in my head
Eyebrows raised was it something I said
A long hot night, it crept in like a thief
The engine stopped, the seat belt popped
And her jaw dropped in disbelief
Don't let go of that beast
You'll never see it again
Don't let go of that whiskey bottle
You'll never see it again

Like only yesterday
I'm Haunted
Haunted
Is that what you wanted
All that's left
Is the ghost of your smile
It stays awhile
Then fades away
I hear your footsteps on the ground
Tempting me to turn around
It's just the echo
Of a disenchanted lover
Shuffling aimlessly
Homeward bound
To empty rooms
And picture frames
And Friends
Who can't recall our names

It stays awhile

There's no way around it and I got control
I reach out for my program, still got control
Straight down to business, who needs control
I've got panache just like jack ruby
I don't beg forgiveness, I don't beg at all

When you're starting to fall
You got something to lean on
Love is everything
It can make you sing at the Butterfly Ball
Love is all, I say love is all, yes love is all
At the Butterfly Ball

She came home last night rotten rolling drunk
She talk no sense but she sound good
So she think So I reached over and said,
"Hello, is there some planet you'd care to go"
And she said "Venus on the rocks"
She got a mean streak
Black Mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation bitter sweet
She drives me crazy gets inside my brain
She spend my money down a drain
So I roll over for my reward
How much can I afford
And she says
"Just a little more"
I can't take this no more
I tried so hard but I can't get thro' the door
Because one smile from those eyes
And I stand there paralyzed
And she says
"Beg for more get down sucka you know what I like"
Oh hang on
She got a mean streak
Black Mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation bitter sweet
<@#Deep_Purple_Money_Talks.txt#@>
I was young and healthy
Extremely wealthy
I swung in the trees
And did as I pleased
I thought I was rich
Oh yeah
Such sweet seduction
I could feel the suction
Greasing my palm
And doing no harm
Just making some deals
What a bitch
Money talks to me
Whispers in my ear
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want
I had rising stock
So I got more pockets
I knew somewhere to stick it
Where no-one would nick it
I kinda went private
And then, aha
Such sweet seclusion
No more intrusion
Too much food on my plate
But there's guards at the gate
Such joy
I could almost die of it
Money talks to me
Lays it on the line
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want
Money goes to money
Yes it always returns
Finds its way back to the big house
Where it lives all alone
Wraith like silent partners
Operators of the system
Give words of quiet assurance
To an otherwise healthy victim
It's all coming back to me
I would swing in the trees
And I'd swim in the ocean
I used to show some emotion
I was not to blame
I feel no shame
The structure was shaking
Was there for the taking
I had the resources
But then, oh no
Someone outbid me
I can't take it with me?
Then I will devour it
I can't go without it
It's simply a question of
Market forces
Money talks to me
Whispers in my ear
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want
Money talks to me
Laughs right in my face
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want

Child on a painted horse
Streams that will run their course
Gone to a far away shore
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Days of another kind
Frost gets a bruising vine
Why did the carpenter die
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Sweet as a rose so fine
Peaceful as a final time
How old could the lion man cry
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Thoughts of a winter moon
Warm in a distant room
Why did I fall asleep so soon
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping

I told you once about a place
That I had accidentally stumbled upon
Can you imagine how it feels to find somewhere
That you can do no wrong
But it's alright you're safe in my hands
I'll meet you in the sky tonight
And we will trace some undiscovered stars
We'll go beyond the universe beyond all understanding,
Hey, it's not that far
But it's alright I feel safe in your hands
I can't stand living this way
Getting by from day to day
I'm drinking from your loving cup
I told you things were looking cup
Oh oh oh so good
Oh it feels so good
We're all the same but then again
We're all quite different in our own peculiar ways
We've come so far and now we're going through another phase
But it's alright
We made it so far
I can't stand living this way
Getting by from day to day
I'm drinking from your loving cup
Told you things were looking cup
As we all know it's hard to breathe
When something spiritual has taken place
We don't know why we don't know how
We've been transformed into a state of grace
But it's alright
We walk in our sleep
Yes it's alright
This is rapture of the deep
<@#Deep_Purple_Razzle_Dazzle.txt#@>
I don't have the time of day
I don't know what day I is
Someone's falling on my head
Get up? Get up
We're going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
To me it don't matter
It's where I belong
It's a matter of distinction
A real fine line
Between an orgy of destruction
And a wonderful time
This room's so cold and bare
There's nothing here for me
I've got to find some heat somewhere
Get up? Get up
We're going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
It really doesn't matter
When I'm bangin' on a gong
While someone's holding out
To a willing congregation
And we can all forget about
The state of the nation
Can't hear a thing
But I see your lips are moving
I'm working on my thinking
And I think it's improving
I'm going to get the blame
So I might as well deliver
If only I can swim across
This weird human river
I know I started out
With the best of intentions
Some blinding inspiration
And a few not-to-mention
And now I'm looking deep
Into the last dying embers
Shouting what are we doing here
And nobody remembers
I've lost a friend or two
I don't know where they have gone
Only one thing I can do
Get up? Get up
I'm going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
To me it don't matter
It's where I belong
It's a matter of distinction
A real fine line
Between an orgy of destruction
And a wonderful time

The smile you gave me before the pain
I could accept the world of darkness
Never see the sun again...
Never ever gonna leave ya,
So dry your eyes and smile again
Say the words I need to hear...
Say you love me, say you love me
Say that you need me,
I can't take it anymore...
But I know I must be strong,
To keep belive in right or wrong...
I've got time but I can't wait too long
Wanna get you home where you belong...
Say you love me, say you love me

Say you love me, baby, baby, baby

<@#Deep_Purple_Soldier_Of_Fortune.txt#@>
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me and love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.
Many times I've been a traveler
I looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here.
Now I feel I'm going older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.

While you were out
The message says
You left a number
And I tried to call
But they wrote it down
In a perfect Spanish scrawl
In a perfect Spanish scrawl
Yet again
I'm missing you
King size bed
(in a) hotel someplace
I hear your name
I see your face
I see your face
(The) back street dolls
And the side door johnnies
The wide eyed boys with their bags full of
Money
Back in the alley
Going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail
Of a midnight crawl
Heaven wouldn't be
So high I know
If the times gone by
Hadn't been so low
The best laid plans
Come apart at the seams
And shatter all my dreams
Sometimes I feel like
Screaming
Close my eyes
It's times like this
My head goes down
And the only thing I know
Is the name of this town
Is the name of this town
Yet again
I'm missing you
Won't be long
O' coming home
Until that distant time
I'll be moving on
I'll be moving on
<@#Deep_Purple_Sun_Goes_Down.txt#@>
Oh you're all looking up
With hearts of devotion
Through the dust and the heat lost to me
In a cloud of emotion
I have no motivation
To keep this breathless pace
I'm more inclined to stay here
In this breathing space
And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
I never tried to walk the walk
Cause the steps are elusive
The membership is too costly
And exclusive
Hey, the more I've got
The more I stand to lose
So I'm gonna unpack my bags
And take off my shoes
And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
Let me tell you there's no point knocking
At the big oak door
Can't you see that it's all full up
They can't take no more
The line's so long
It's almost Disney
Ooh?
Won't somebody kiss me
And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
<@#Deep_Purple_The_Cut_Runs_Deep.txt#@>
Got your finger on the trigger
Your cold eyes taking aim
You took a shot at my heart
Let the bullets fly
Tell me has one of them got my name?
What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
It doesn't just fade away
Turning the knife
How much can I bleed
The cut runs deep
I can't find no salvation
Can't find no healing touch
Reaching out for mercy
A stranger in your eyes
I want you too much
What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
It doesn't just fade away
Turning the knife
How much can I bleed
The cut runs deep

Listen to me...
I've got a warning for you
You've got to learn to take more care
'Cause if you swim in dirty water
Be careful how you dry your hair
In a room within a room
In a hole within a hole
You've got to learn to share your secrets
Or you'll lose your soul
I've got the evidence
I know you broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one night stand
You know, you broke the law...
It's so hard to hold back
When the fire is in your eyes
A silver dollar in my pocket
I don't like surprises
I've got your souvenir
Is that the price I've got to pay?
It ain't been that long
Since the last charade
I've got the evidence
I know you broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one night stand
You know, you broke the law...
I know you're guilty
But I'm carrying the blame
I took out much more than I put in
And I felt the pain
In a dirty little room
With nowhere left to hide
You told the truth with your eyes
But you lied inside
I've got the evidence
I know you broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one night stand
You know, you broke the law...

Infidel can you hear
Would-be strange delight
I need you to give your sympathy tonight
When you hear what I say
Deeds I've done
Realize I've never lost and never won
I've got a feeling that it's never right
There was a reason but it's out of sight
It's going down somewhere tonight
Under the gun
Put death in my hand
Learn to fight
Who could care if it's wrong or if it's right
We got no choice
Under command
We're ordered to die or take this land
Stupid bastards and religious freaks
So safe in their castle keeps
They turn away as a mother weeps
Under the gun
When brave men fall
Under crimson skies
There's a sadness reflected in a soldier's eyes
Tears will dry
For those I kill
Remember no more their names but someone will
The only way to be victorious
Screw the fools who think it's glorious
Who gives a toss about the likes of us?
Under the gun
<@#Deep_Purple_Wasted_Sunsets.txt#@>
The day is gone
When the angels come to stay
And all the silent whispers
Will be blown away
And lying in the corner
A pair of high heel shoes
Hanging on the wall
Gold and silver for the blues
One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show
Someone is waiting behind
An unlocked door
Grey circles overhead empties
On the floor
The cracks in the walls have
Grown too long
The slow hand is dragging on
Afraid to meet the dawn
One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show
<@#Deep_Purple_When_A_Blind_Man_Cries.txt#@>
If you're leaving close the door.
I'm not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor.
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man and my world is pale.
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale.
Had a friend once in a room,
had a good time but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month in that room
we found a reason for the things we had to do.
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man, now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it from his soul.

Have you ever thought of the feeling
I get when I'm alone with you
It's causing me worry and trouble
I'm going 'round in circles
Don't know what I'm gonna do
You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love
You were always playing my records
When I was after making some love
But I need more than the music
To keep myself together
Although it makes me feel so good
You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love
Sometimes in the morning
I wake up without you
Can't get up, it's getting me down
Tell me what you're trying to do
Later in the evening
You come home feeling low
If you'd stop your cruising
Maybe we could make a show
You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love

Dark and dirty
Like you have never seen
A mind so twisted
With thoughts so unclean.
My heart is racing
All tattered and torn
I stand here naked
As the day I was born.
Over and over I stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
The sky is falling
On this setting son
Echoes of silence
Ringing loud and long
This isolation
Is the king of pain
A lost horizon
In an ocean of flames
Only the lonely will stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
I've been here before,
But not as I stand here today
I wait for the dawn
Ready to walk

Sometimes it ain't what it seems
I'm all in a daze
Can't find my way out of this maze
I'm looking for clues
And wanting a change in the rules
I'm locked in a cage
Acting out on the wrong stage
Don't want your sympathy
Don't need the third degree
Just got to break away and scream
I'm caught in a dream
I'm stood at the edge and I'm looking down
Caught in the danger zone
I feel like a king that has lost his crown
And now I stand here alone
Don't want your sympathy
Don't need the third degree
Just got to break away and scream
I'm caught in a dream!!!
Fractured love, fractured love
Iron fist in a velvet glove
Fractured love, fractured love
Cracks in the mirror of this fractured love
I don't care if you pull down the sky
Angry passion is a friend of mine
Reach out for the sky above
It's just a fractured love
Fractured love, fractured love
Iron fist in a velvet glove
Fractured love, fractured love
Cracks in the mirror of this fractured love
I'm caught in a dream
Why don't you set me free!
Don't want your sympathy
Don't want your third degree
Just got to break
Break away and scream!
I'm caught in a dream
Why don't you set me free

Iron fist in a velvet glove
Fractured love, fractured love
Cracks in the mirror of this fractured love
Don't give me your fractured love!

Hey boys, Miss Magic is back
No Hollywood waste or tinsel trash
Street kid, she's no stray cat
Heaven on legs she's feline flash
Takes a good woman to play a good man
And no one plays like heaven can
She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
Call you right back
When I get home
Better watch out
When we're all alone
Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Hey guys, Miss Magic is mine
No silicone smile she's a vintage wine
Bombshell blond, red lipstick on
Aquiline fine, she's a real wild one
She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
Call you right back
When I get home
Better watch out
When we're all alone

Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Heaven is a girl that makes dreams come true
Oh, no one does it good like heaven do, no
She got the rhythm to drive me crazy
She got the rhythm of love
She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
The lights are out
But there's somebody home
Better watch out when
We're all alone
[Chorus]
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl she makes dreams come true
And no one does it good like heaven do

Time
Just watching the time slippin' away
Gimme a sign
Where do you go when you can't find the way
So we watch and we wait
And we crawl and we kneel
If you know who you are
Then you know how to feel
In time
Maybe temptation is all that you need
Love don't lie
It lifts you up
Takes you higher when high ain't enough
Love don't lie
It's stronger than steel
It's got the heart and emotion to heal
It's not as easy as it seems
When you can't even sleep in your dreams
Love don't lie
And that's the truth
Look me straight in the eye for the proof
That love don't lie
Yeah, love don't lie
Out in the cold
With a love that burns like the sun
You've stolen my soul
So justice would seem to be done
So we hope and we pray
And we live and we learn
If we know where we are
Then we know where to turn
In time
Maybe persuasion is all that you need
Love don't lie
It lifts you up
Takes you higher when high ain't enough
Love don't lie
It's stronger than steel
It's got the heart and emotion to heal
It's not as easy as it seems
When you can't even sleep in your dreams
Love don't lie
And that's the truth
Look me straight in the eye for the proof
That love don't lie
Love don't lie
It lifts you up
Takes you higher when high ain't enough
Love don't lie
It's stronger than steel
It's got the heart and emotion to heal
Love don't lie
It lifts you up
Takes you higher when high ain't enough
Love don't lie
And that's the truth
Look me straight in the eye
Straight in the eye for the proof
Love don't lie
Yeah love don't lie
Oh, oh

How can I know
How can I see it through your eyes
Now you know
All those promises were lies
You close your eyes
You close your mind
To all you lost
I count the days
I count the ways
I count the cost
All that you are, no conscience
All you believe, no crime
All that you take, no reason
All that you leave, no rhyme
All that you lose, no sorrow
All that you find, no shame
Can't take away the scar you left behind
How do you cry
When you've run right out of tears
You justify
But the pain won't disappear
I count the days
I count the ways
I count the cost
All that you are, no conscience
All you believe, no crime
All that you take, no reason

I'm here to testify
I can't remember why
Complete or justify my situation.
I don't remember when and I can only half pretend,
A case of now and then, I just need someone.
No solution, there's a saner revolution,
there's no better way but there?s the only way, lead the way.
[Chorus]
I wanna break down, I'm gonna shake down
I just discovered, I can't wait until tomorrow comes.
I wanna take a ride, I wanna kiss the sky
I just found out, I cant wait until tomorrow comes.
Spoke out on compromise, just the ego telling lies.
Confides and then defies, in case you?'re waiting.
Guess that it's a time for change
Remain but change the name.
This game is where to aim.
I hear the charge, boy.
No solution, there's a saner revolution,
there's no better way, but there?s the only way, lead the way.
[Chorus]
It's liberating, but when it rains it pours,
Degenerating, ain't gonna fight no more.
I wanna break down, I'm gonna shake down
I just found out, I can't wait until tomorrow comes.
I wanna break down, I'm gonna shake down
I just discovered, I can't wait until tomorrow comes.
I wanna take a ride, I wanna kiss the sky
I just found out, I can't wait until tomorrow comes.

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowin' into the night
People so busy, making me dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Terry meets Julie at Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, I don't like to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset

Who do you love is it him or is it me
Hey hey I wanna know
I called Detroit city on the telephone
The man on the line tell me you ain't home
I wanna know
Who's that voice
What's
There's a deep red glow in the early morning sky
Who do you love better make up your mind
Don't wanna buy love
Don't wanna try love
I just want your love babe
Hey alright
Well its five in the morning and the place is dead
I'm gonna rest my body on a empty bed
Who do you love
I gotta know
What's his name baby
What's your game
Make up your mind are you his are you mine
When you get back I ask you one more time

Released on the cd-single for "promises"
Never gonna die now
Crawling from a wrecked jam, I'm laughing out loud
Angel on my shoulder
Living at the speed of sound
Heavenly distraction
I'm hanging on the edge and spinning out of control
Choose your medication
It's a generation overload
I can see it falling from the sky
Can you feel me
I can hear you calling when you cry
Can you see me
Pain and suffering, your knees are tied
Will you hear me
Everchanging as your worlds collide
Running going nowhere
Take it to the limit then it's payback time
Nothing but a heartache
Waiting at the end of the line
Take a look around, babe
You're looking down the barrel of a loaded mind
Generation landslide
Crawling through the enemy lines
I will be the one your justify
Will you hear me
I will kiss you with a last goodbye
I thought I was the one who could survive
Does anyone get outta here alive
I gotta find the courage, gotta make a change
And start all over again
Taken for a ride against my will
And taking it is always such a bitter pill
Shaken for the sake of it, no more
Gotta get away cause I don't know what I'm doing it for
I can see it falling from the sky
Can you feel me
I can hear you calling when you cry
Can you see me
I will be there when you close your eyes
Will you hear me
Everchanging as your worlds collide

[Verse]
If I had it my way, I would take you down
If I had it my way, I would turn you out
And if my body had a say, I would come again
Scared of what I might say, cause I'm at the edge
And our eyes are crossing paths across the room
There's only one thing left for us to do
[Chorus]
You can touch me with slow hands
Speed it up, baby, make me sweat
Dreamland, take me there cause I want your sex
If my body had a say, I wouldn't turn away
Touch, make love, taste you
If my body told the truth, baby I would do
Just what I want to
[Verse]
If I had it my way, I would take the lead
And if I had it my way, I would take you deep
If my body had a say, I'd get it off my chest
Show you all the red lace underneath this dress
And our eyes are crossing paths across the room
There's only one thing left for us to do
[Chorus]
You can touch me with slow hands
Speed it up, baby, make me sweat
Dreamland, take me there cause I want your sex
If my body had a say, I wouldn't turn away
Touch, make love, taste you
If my body told the truth, baby I would do
Just what I want to
[Bridge]
My mind's getting in the way
Can't feel what my body say
I'mma tell you anyway
I'mma tell you anyway
My mind's getting in the way
Can't feel what my body say
I'mma show you anyway
I'mma show you anyway
There's only one thing left for us to do
Oh, you can

You can touch me with slow hands
Speed it up, baby, make me sweat
Dreamland, take me there cause I want your sex
If my body had a say, I wouldn't turn away
Touch, make love, taste you
If my body told the truth, baby I would do
Just what I want to
You can touch me with slow hands

If my body had a say, I wouldn't turn away
Touch, make love, taste you
If my body told the truth, baby I would do

Now you told me on a Sunday that it wasn't gonna work
I tried to cry myself to sleep 'cause it was supposed to hurt
We sat next to the fire as the flame was burning out
I knew what you were thinkin' before you'd say it aloud
Don't say you're sorry 'cause I'm not even breaking
You're not worth the time that this is taking
I knew better than to let you break my heart
This soul you'll never see again, won't be showing scars
You still love her, I can see it in your eyes
The truth is all that I can hear every time you lie
Every time you lie
Every time you lie
I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face
And a long list of gentlemen, happy to take your place
Less trashier, much classier then who you prove to be
How long's it gonna take before you see that she's no me, oh no
I knew better than to let you break my heart
This soul you'll never see again, won't be showing scars, oh no no
You still love her, I can see it in your eyes
The truth is all that I can hear every time you lie
At night awake
I won't be sleeping 'til morning breaks
That's the price you pay, for your mistakes
Goodbye to dreaming
So don't say you're sorry, 'cause I'm not gonna listen
I knew better than to let you break my heart
This soul you'll never see again, won't be showing scars, oh no no
You still love her, I can see it in your eyes

Don't say you're sorry

Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen

Couldn't keep it in
Heaven knows I try
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well now they know

Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe
I know left a life behind but I'm too relieved to grieve
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
Standing frozen in the life I've chosen
You won't find me, the past is all behind me
Buried in the snow
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

Get your party on
And were screaming
Out loud
<@#Demi_Lovato_U_Got_Nothin_On_Me.txt#@>
Summer came and took me by surprise
California sunshine in my eyes
Driving with the top down
We sing along
To our favorite song
Nothing could go wrong
Laughing as we gazed under the moon
You kissed me and it never felt too soon
Hard to believe that anything
Could tear us apart
I won't let you break my heart
[Chorus]
Now I know who you are
You got nothin' on me
I see I should have known it from the start
You cant tell me lies don't even try
Cause this is goodbye
Goodbye
Caught you from the corner of my eye
You smiled at a girl while passing by
Thought you had me fooled but you were wrong
I know what's going on
And it didn't take me long
It wasn't hard to read between the lines
The necklace in your car that wasn't mine
Nothing left for you to do or say
Now I'm on my way
Now it's too late
[Chorus]
Say goodbye to broken promises
Time to face your carelessness
Don't bore me with apologies
And come crawling back on your knees
You got nothin' on me
You got nothin' on me
You got nothin' on me
I know who you are
Now I see I should have known it from the start
You cant tell me lies, don't even try
Cause this is goodbye
[Chorus]
Goodbye

<@#Demi_Lovato_What_To_Do.txt#@>
Tell me what to do, ooh, about you
I already know,
I can see it in your eyes when you's tellin' the truth
'Cause it's been a long time comin'
So where you runnin' to?
Tell me what to do, oohh, about you
You've got your way of speaking
Even the air you're breathin'
You could be anything
But you don't know what to believe in
You got the world before you
If I could only show you
That you don't know what to do
Tell me what to do, ooh, about you
Somethin' on your mind,
Baby all of the time, you can ming on a room
This day has been a long time comin'
I say it's nothing new
So tell me what to do, ooh, about you
You've got your way of speaking
Even the air you're breathin'
You could be anything
But you don't know what to believe in
You got the world before you
If I could only show you
That you don't know what to do
You think about it
Can you ever change, finish what you've started
Make me wanna stay, tied up conversation
Show me something real, find out what your part is
Play it how you feel
Tell me what to do, ooh, about you
Is there any way, anything I can say, won't break us in two
'Cause it's been a long time comin'
I can't stop lovin' you, yeah
Tell me what to do, ooh, about you
You've got your way of speaking
Even the air you're breathin'

<@#Demi_Lovato_Youre_My_Favorite_Song.txt#@>
Words don't come easy without a melody
I'm always thinking in terms of do-re-mi
I should be hiking, swimming, laughing with you
Instead I'm all out of tune
But what you don't know
You lift me off the ground
You're inspiration, you helped me find myself
Just like a baseline in half-time
You hold down the groove
That's why I'm counting on you
And if I heard you on the radio
I'd never wanna change a single note
It's what I'm trying to say all along
You're my favorite song
I'm in a session writing tracks
You've got another class to teach
And then rehearsal with a band
You're always one step out of reach
I'm looking for some harmony
With you it comes so naturally
You helped me find the right key
And when I hear you on the radio
I'd never wanna change a single note
It's what I tried to say all along
You're my favorite song
My favorite song!
And when I hear you on the radio (yeah, yeah)
I'd never wanna change a single note (no, no)
It's what I tried to say all along
You're my favorite song
You're my favorite song
<@#Depeche_Mode_Blasphemous_Rumours.txt#@>
Girl of sixteen
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the Lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees
And prays
[Chorus x 2]
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
Girl of eighteen
Fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car
Ended up
On a life support machine
Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing
In the summer's sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell
From her mother's eye
[Chorus x 5]
<@#Depeche_Mode_Come_Back.txt#@>
[Chorus]
Come back Come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
I've been walking a thin white line
Between love and hate
I could use a lil' company
A lil' kindness to go a long way
Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear
[Chorus]
I've been walking a thin white line
Between love and hate
I could use a lil' company
A lil' kindness to go a long way
Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear
[Chorus: x3]
Come back Come back to me
<@#Depeche_Mode_Fragile_Tension.txt#@>
Well it's a fragile tension,
That's keeping us going.
It may not last forever,
But oh, when it's flowing.
There's something magical in the air.
Some things so tragic we have to care.
It's a strange obsession,
That's's drawing us nearer.
We don't understand it,
It never gets clearer.
There's something mystical in our genes.
So simplistic it kicks and screams.
Oh when we're teetering
On the edge of the collapse,
Nothing can keep us down.
It's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying.
Some glittering galas,
Without even trying.
There's something radical in our hands.
Nothing logical to our plans.
<@#Depeche_Mode_Free.txt#@>
I will never be free
I shall never be released
From the chains that bind me
That torture and blind me
And keep me from peace
Oh what heartache
Oh what heartbreak
Following me
Calling to me
I will never be free
I shall never be released
From the chains that bind me
That torture and blind me
And keep me from peace
I will never be free
I will never be laid to rest
Sisters and brothers
I'll never recover
From this tenderness
See what I've prayed
Hear what loves sings
Sad melodies
Enticing me
I will never be free
I shall never be released
From the chains that bind me
That torture and blind me
And keep me from peace
I will never be free
I will never be laid to rest
Sisters and brothers
I'll never recover
From this tenderness
<@#Depeche_Mode_Goodnight_Lovers.txt#@>
Here, somewhere in the heart of me
There is still a part of me
That cares
And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got
Even though I'm sure it's not
The best for me
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
I, I can see the danger signs
They only help to underline
Your beauty
I'm not looking for an easy ride
True happiness cannot be tried
So easily
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
You can take your time
I'll be waiting in line
You don't even have to give me
The time of day
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
Like all soul sisters
And soul brothers
<@#Depeche_Mode_I_Sometimes_Wish_I_Was_Dead.txt#@>
New sound all around
You can hear it too
Getting hot, never stop
Just for me and you
Playing on my radio and saying that you had to go
New day turn away
Wipe away the tear
New night, feel right
Knowing that you're here
Dancing with you all the time, and don't you think that it's a crime
Back street never meet
Never say goodbye
I know where you go
But I don't know why
You say that it's from above, and I say this is modern love
<@#Depeche_Mode_In_Chains.txt#@>
The way you move
Has got me yearning
The way you move
Has left me burning
I know you know what you're doing to me
I know my hands will never be free
I know what it's like to be
In chains
The way you move
Is meant to haunt me
The way you move
To tempt and taunt me
I know you knew on the day you were born
I know somehow I should've been warned
I know I walk every midnight to dawn
In Chains
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
You've got me dying for you
Its you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My souls beseeching me too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to
The way you move
Is mesmerizing
The way you move
Is hypnotizing
I know I crumble when you are around
Start to mumble a bit of a false sound
Straggle, stumble, shackled and bound
In chains
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
You've got me dying for you
Its you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My souls beseeching me too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to
I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
<@#Depeche_Mode_In_Sympathy.txt#@>
They're almost falling over you
Why don't they call a truce
What ever they are trying to do
It's of little use
They're drowning you in compliments
Trying to furnish proof
And though they speak with eloquence
There is little truth
[Chorus]
You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
I'm watching your serenity
The way your soul transcends
Their tedious obscenities
You're patience never ends
And as the night begins to fade
You are heading for the door
Followed by a sad parade
You're on your own once more
[Chorus: x2]
You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
<@#Depeche_Mode_Master_And_Servant.txt#@>
There's a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
It's a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
It's a lot like life
And that's what's appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Domination's the name of the game
In bed or in life
They're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled
At the end of the day
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
<@#Depeche_Mode_Mercy_In_You.txt#@>
You know what I need
When my heart bleeds
I suffer from greed
A longing to feed
On the mercy in you
I can't conceal
The way I'm healed
The pleasure I feel
When I have to deal
With the mercy in you
I would do it all again
Lose my way and fall again
Just so I could call again
On the mercy in you
When here in my mind
I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you
I would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so I could pray again
For the mercy in you
When here in my mind
I have been blind
Emotionally behind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you
<@#Depeche_Mode_New_Life.txt#@>
I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
Transitions to another place
So the time will pass more slowly
Features fuse and your shadow's red
Like a film I've seen now show me
Your face is hidden and were out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answers nowhere
I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit, red danger
<@#Depeche_Mode_No_Disco.txt#@>
I saw you in the picture
I saw you play the part
This ain't no disco
There's a thousand watts in you
You take this too far
This ain't no disco
Sometimes when I wonder if you're taking a chance
This ain't no disco
And you know how to dance
Move me disco
Baby don't you let go
This ain't no disco
Part one
Act one
Everyone pretend
This ain't no disco
This is more a story
And we're reaching the end
This ain't no disco
Always makes me happy when you're taking a chance
This ain't no disco
And you know how to dance
Move me disco
Baby don't you let go
This ain't no disco
<@#Depeche_Mode_Smile_In_A_Crowd_(Oriental_Mix).txt#@>
You turned me away
Away from your actions
Forced by the violence
That always surrounds you
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
You burnt yourself out
In that silence
I have to tell you
I ache for you still
The sound of my words
Is always so shocking
They get much louder
Each time I speak
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
Signals of progress
We're growing much older
I'm afraid that I'll leave
And my ache never goes
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
<@#Depeche_Mode_Strangelove.txt#@>
There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life livable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverful
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it
There'll be days
When I stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
Pain will you return it
I'll say it again, pain
Pain will you return it
I won't say it again
I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to be
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
I give in
Again and again
I give in
That's how my love goes
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in

Where were you when I fell from grace
Frozen heart, an empty space
Something's changing, it's in your eyes
Please don't speak, you'll only lie
I found treasure not where I thought
Peace of mind can't be bought
Still I believe
[Chorus]
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to tell
An angel led me when I was blind
I said take me back, I've changed my mind
Now I believe
From the blackest room, I was torn
He called my name, a love was born
So I believe
[Chorus: x2]

Laying on your holy bed
by the hallowed door
Feeling like an infidel
Not worthy of your call
Tempted by your innocence
Beckoned to my fate
I won't face the consequence
I wouldn't hesitate
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
Shackled like an animal
Chained to my desires
Just another sacrifice
To love's eternal fires
Tame me with your tenderness
And break my brittle heart
Easily and elegantly
Tear my world apart
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my vains
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart, yeah

Like a cat dragged in from the rain
Who goes straight back out and do i all over again
I'll be back for more
Something that is out of our hands
Something we will never understand
It's a hidden law
The apple falls
Destiny calls
I follow you
Like a pawn on the eternal board
Who's never quite sure what he's moved towards
I walk blindly on
And heaven is in front of me
Your heaven beckons me enticingly
When I arrive it's gone
The river flows
The wise man knows
I follow you
I'm yearning I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning
Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned each and every night
I'm dying to
The sun will shine

I feel love's wheels turning

I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity
There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear
And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Things looked even better
Than when they were open
Been waiting for the night to fall
I knew that it would save us all
Now everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
Been waiting for the night to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
All that you feel is tranquility

I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions

There it was
Just like old faithful
The eternal fountain of filthi
I took a walk straight out of town
But then I stopped and took my time for pleasure
I was alone, I looked around
I heard a voice 50 I buckled for safety
And there it was down on the ground
A pool of sound that showed my own reflection
In a fountain of filth
Eternal fountain of filth
I tried to run I couldn't move
Frozen solid while the thoughts of men
Attacked me
Out of my head the fountain shot
And drowned me in a serum that I couldn't
Put a stop to
It was me myself and I locked in a struggle
With the talking head below me
In a fountain of filth
Eternal fountain of filth
I got a hunger that makes me say things
I got a hunger that makes me do things
I got a hunger that makes me want things
I'm just a victim of filth
Nowhere are we safe
From the power of
From the reach of
From the appeal of

But you're rotten to the core
I've had just about all I can take
You know I can't take it no more
Got a gut feeling
Centered 'round long time ago
On your ability to torment
Then you took your tongs of love
And stripped away my garment
Got a gut feeling
Slap your mammy down
Slap your pappy down again
Oh move it up and down now
Oh move it all around now

People look at me and laugh and make fun of my face
I laugh right back
I don't want to be part of the human race
I did it to myself
Now somebody's gonna be sorry
Well, I'm a huboon baby
Gonna mess around with all you fools
I'm all pumped up, gonna romp, bone and stomp
I'm gonna rule
I had the operation
Nothing else left to do
Well lookit here, I've been hurt
Gonna hurt you
Now, somebody's gonna be sorry
Like all you wankers and you slime
And you right-wing pinheads
Who make screwing a big crime
You titty-twisted up my life
And pissed on all my dreams
You made me hate myself
Now come on shoot me
Set me free
I did it to myself
Now somebody's gonna be sorry
Well, I'm a huboon baby
I'll grow up to be the president
I'm upside-in, I'm really tweaked
I'm really freaked, I'm really bent
Big town mommas better hurry
Hide your little girls
I'll jump their bones
I'll sniff 'em out 'round the world
<@#Devo_Its_Not_Right.txt#@>
Baby, baby, baby hurt me bad
Baby, baby
Baby, baby made me cry
Baby, I want to die
Somebody tell me where she's hiding out
I gotta find that cheatin' gal
Can't go, can't go, can't go sleep at night
Can't sleep, can't sleep
It's not right
Sunlight, sunlight in my eyes
Sunlight, makes me rise
I can't sleep until my baby says it's over
I gotta hear it face to face
I love you darlin', it's a cryin' shame
The way you run around like you're in a big game
I'm so unhappy I could cry every time I think about you
Boo hoo
Baby, baby, baby please come back
Baby, baby
Sunlight, sunlight in my eyes
Sunlight, makes me rise
I can't sleep until my baby says it's over
I gotta hear it face to face
I love you darlin', it's a cryin' shame
The way you run around like you're in a big game
I shoot around in a trance all day and think about you
All the time
I love you darlin', it's a cryin' shame
The way you run around like you're in a big game
It's so unfair that you're so happy when I'm hurtin' inside
I love you darlin', it's a cryin' shame
The way you run around like you're in a big game
I'm so unhappy I could cry every time I think about you
Boo hoo

If I had a hammer
I'd wake up all my neighbors
Pounding out a rhythm
All about you
If I had a pencil
I'd push me some paper
I'd build a skyscraper
To get close to you
If I had a lasso
I'd said out the window
And land on an island
Next to you
If I had a hot rod
I'd fasten up my seat belt
And break the speed limit
Gettin' to you
But I ain't got a hammer
And I ain't got a pencil
And I ain't got a lasso
So I'm doing it the hard way
Like a post post-modern man
If I had a credit card
I'd clear me a pathway
Through the deepest jungle
Right to your door
If I had a camera
I'd snap away my fingers
And collect up the pictures
Of you, of course
But I ain't got a hot rod
And I ain't got a credit card
No chance for a camera
So I'm doing it the hard way
Like a post post-modern man
Well I ain't go a hammer
And I ain't got a lasso
No chance for a camera
So I'm doing it the hard way

You know I live a life of danger
For the FBI
Keeping tabs on our nation
On the land, on the sea, in the sky
But every single night
Before I go to bed
I get down on my knees
And thank God
I'm a secret agent man
Secret agent man
Secret agent man
They've given me a number
But they've taken 'way my name
I got one hell of a job to perform
For the U. S. of A.
Got the responsibility
Of our nation's top security
But every night and day
I salute the flag and say
Thank you, Jesus
'Cause I'm, I'm a secret agent man
Secret agent man
You know they got me doin' this
Doin' that
And a little bit of something else
Fighting cavities of evil
Safe-guarding America's health
But not an afternoon pass
I don't get up off my ass
Thank you God
'Cause I'm, I'm a secret agent man
Secret agent man
Secret agent man
'Cause I'm a secret agent man

Going 'round the world
Don't know where we're going
We don't even care
But you just can't be from someplace else
Unless you go somewhere
And we're in the same boat
So as long as it floats
We might as well stop n' stare
At the big picture
The big picture (repeat)
Get the B-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-g picture
We're almost there
We're gonna keep on going
'til that new age dawns
Always keeping an eye on the stars in the sky
In case one starts to fall
And we're in the same boat
As the ones who can't float
So they might freak out and sink us all
And miss the big picture
(going round the world)
The big picture
(got to get it now)
Like a fish in the water
You don't know where you've been
'til you jump out and take a look around
At the B-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-g picture
<@#Devo_The_Day_My_Baby_Gave_Me_A_Surprize.txt#@>
Got a surprise from my honey
Got a message from my girl
When she picked up a pen from beside her bed
And wrote me a scribbled note
Said she'd be coming back to see me
That she would be visiting real soon
Gonna get up from her long white bed
And leave this cold white room
We would once more live together
Go out on a lovin' spree
Just like before the accident
My baby would look at me
I saw her sweet face trembling
As she tried to open her eyes
I jumped with the joy of a grateful boy
The day my baby gave me a surprise
Got a surprise from my honey
Got a message from my girl
When she picked up a pen from beside her bed
And wrote me a scribbled note
I saw her sweet face trembling
As she tried to open her eyes
I jumped with the joy of a grateful boy
The day my baby gave me a surprise
<@#Devo_Through_Being_Cool.txt#@>
We're through being cool
Eliminate the ninnies and the twits
Going to bang some heads
Going to beat some butts
Time to show those evil spuds what's what
If you live in a small town
You might meet a dozen or two
Young alien types who step out
And dare to declare
Spank the pank who try to drive you nuts
Time to clean some house
Be a man or a mouse
Waste those who make it tough to get around
If you live in a big place
Many factions underground
Chase down mister hinky dink
So no trace can be found
Put the tape on erase
Rearrange a face
We always liked Picasso anyway
Mash 'em
<@#Devo_Ton_O_Love.txt#@>
When love takes a back seat to life
When a man runs away from his wife
That's when you know he's in the world
When a guy tries to round up his mate
But she's gone and it's gettin' too late
That's when you know he lost his girl
so it happens all the time
don't get low just stand in line
take your turn now make your move
and crush that doubt with a ton o' love
When woman takes a back seat to man
She has to tell him where to go if she can
And she decides to wear his ring
Find a girl with the face of a clock
Her hands move forward till you can't stop
She comes from above with a ton o' love

[Verse 1]
Angin tolonglah aku sedang jatuh cinta
Tapi aku tak punya nyali tuk katakan
Bahwasannya setiap hari ku merindukan dia
[Verse 2]
Angin masukkan aku ke dalam mimpinya (oh la la la)
Jadikan aku raja dan dia ratunya (oh la la la)
Buat dia selalu memikirkan diriku
[Chorus]
Angin katakan padanya
Bahwa aku cinta dia
Angin sampaikan padanya
Bahwa aku butuh dia
[Verse 3]
Angin tancapkanlah busur panah cintaku (oh la la la)
Tancapkanlah cepat tepat di jantung hatinya (oh la la la)
Sebelum hatinya jadi beku dan membatu
Back to [Chorus]

Angin katakan padanya
Bahwa aku cinta dia
Angin sampaikan padanya
Bahwa aku butuh dia

Tak tertahan Berdiam diri... sakit
Sementara jiwa meronta
Meratapi penat di kepala
Mulut terbungkam, Tangan terbelenggu,
Pikiran terisolasi, Ingin muntahkan
Dan memuntahkan... Kemukakan...
Reff :
Beri kami satu ruang
'Tuk katakan yang benar
Kuburkan yang salah
Biarkan kami tumpahkan
Aspirasi putih kami
S'makin banyak orang pilihan
Yang nyata - nyata s'makin rakus
Bangun istana 'tuk dinastinya
Atas nama rakyat jelata
Tak tertahan Berdiam diri...
Meratapi
Rap :
Disini harusnya ada ruang dimana
Tak ada pedang memotong lidah
Bebas bicara tentang makna
Keadilan, Pembagian kekuasaan,
Kemunduran, Partai - partai,
Monopoli, Kartel trus dan sebagainya...

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, honey
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I've got your picture hanging on the wall
But it can't see or come to me
When I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
They don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play my games of fantasy
I pretend but I'll know in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together
I got some memories to look back on
Though they help when you're gone, I'm well aware
That nothing can take your place of you being there
So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing, talk to me
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real
Say it loud like you're proud
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real, we've got it
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, honey
Ain't nothing like that real thing, baby

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind
But now i see
The earth shall soon
Dissolve like snow
The sun forget to shine
But god who brought me here below
Will be forever mine
Through him many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Twas grace that brought me here thus far
And grace will lead me home

Baby love, my baby love, I need you oh how I need you.
But all you do is treat me bad,
Break my heart and leave me sad,
Wanna know what did I do wrong to make you stay away so long
'Cause baby love, my baby love, been missing ya, miss kissing ya.
Instead of breaking up,
Let's start some kissing and making up,
Don't throw our love away.
In my arms why don't you stay?
Baby love, my baby love,
Why must we separate my love?
All of my whole life through,
I never love no one but you,
Why you do me like you do,I guess it's me
Ooh, need to hold you once again my love, feel your warm embrace my love.
Don't throw our love away, please don't do me this way,
Not happy like I used to be. loneliness has got the best of me my love,
My baby love, I need ya oh how I need ya.
Why you do me like you do,
After I've been true to you,
So deep in love with you.

'Til it hurt me, 'til it hurt me.
Ooh baby love,
Don't throw our love away.
Don't throw our love away.

There you were standing there
As your eyes reached out to me
Something warm in your eyes
Touched my heart right then and there
All the love I never knew
I found in you
Suddenly, my world stood still
My life was then fulfilled
As you gently touched my hand
I knew that we had laid a plan
For everlasting love
That I been forever dreaming of
At last, ooh, at last
My forever came today
When you walked into my life
And made my lonely life a paradise
It came today
Forever came today
Forever came today
Forever came today
As we were standing there
You didn't speak a single word
But your eyes
Your eyes said you wanted me
Your touch said you needed me
And my heart said tenderly
Darling, ooh, my darling
Make me yours
Let your kiss touch my face
And tell me love has lead me
To this place to your warm embrace
And our happiness
Thanks to you
My search has ended
And I want the world to see
How gently love has shined on me
With everlasting love
That I been forever dreaming of
At last, ooh, at last

And made my lonely life a paradise

Gotta be, gotta be free
I've got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
You don't know why, haven't got a clue
In the dark about why I am leaving you
You can't expect me to go on this way
No, I cannot stay, I will not stay
More and more you make me
Realize what I have home
What's taboos exciting
But sometimes it just gets old
Sometimes it just gets old
For as long as I am me, boy
All I really want to be is free
I've got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free

Whispering how much you care,

Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong,
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care
You're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face,
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you always smile
It's all worth while
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringin'
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near my love
If all my friends have forgotten all their promises
They're not unkind,
Just hard to find
One look at you and I know that
I could learn to live without the rest
I found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day...

Don't lead me astray

And wait for that odd day
Please go right, go right, go right
Hey won't you?
<@#Diana_Ross_Love_Is_Like_An_Itching_In_My_Heart.txt#@>
The love bug done bit me,
Didn't mean for him to get me,
Woo, get up in the morning
And I'm filled with desire,
No, no, I can't stop the fire,
Love is real live wire,
Oo, it's a burning sensation,
Far beyond imagination.
Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart, tearing it all apart,
Just an itching in my heart,
And, baby, I can't scratch it.
Keeps me sighing, oo
Keeps me yearning,
No mama can't help me,
No daddy can't help me
I've been bitten by the love bug,
And I need some information
o help me out of this situation,
Now, when you're ill you take a pill,
When you're thirsty, drink your fill,
What you gonna do, oh yeah,
when love gets a hold, a hold on you,
Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart,
And, baby, I can't scratch it.
Love is a nagging irritation,
Causing my heart complication,
Love is a growing infection,
And I don't know the correction,
Got me rocking and a-reeling,
And I can't shake the feeling.
Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart,
tearing it all apart,
Just an Itching in my heart,
And, baby, I can't scratch it.
<@#Dire_Straits_Eastbound_Train.txt#@>
It was New Cross Station, I was going on home
Saw you get your ticket, standing on your own
Here come the train about 02:44
I couldn't get a smoker, you took another car
Yeah, the end of the line, we both had to change,
And you're standing right behind me,
I'm a feeling kinda strange
We got to Mile End Road, my heart skipped a beat,
Standing right behind me, I'm a shakin' in my seat
3-4 minutes and the train comes through,
I'm ridin' on the Central, I'm a-lookin' at you.
Woman on the eastbound train,
Sometimes I wanna see you again.
Now I couldn't read a paper, you couldn't read a book,
Kept on taking me another look,
You got off the train, you never looked behind
I tried, but I can't get you out of my mind.
Woman on the eastbound train,
Sometimes I wanna see you again.
Well I got one more thing I wanna say before I go
If you get the message on the radio
You can write a letter, get in touch with me,
Leave your number with the company, yeah.
Woman on the eastbound train,
Sometimes I wanna see you again.
<@#Dire_Straits_Iron_Hand.txt#@>
With all the clarity of dream
The sky so blue, the grass so green
The rank and file and the navy blue
The deep and strong, the straight and true
The blue line they got the given sign
The belts and boots march forward in time
The wood and leather the club and shield
Swept like a wave across the battlefield
Now with all the clarity of dream
The blood so red, the grass so green
The gleam of spur on chestnut flank
The cavalry did burst upon the ranks
Oh the iron will and iron hand
In England's green and pleasant land
No music for the shameful scene
That night they said it had even shocked the queen
Well alas we've seen it all before
Knights in armor, days of yore
The same old feasance and the same old crimes
We haven't changed since ancient times
<@#Dire_Straits_It_Never_Rains.txt#@>
I hear the seven deadly sins
And the terrible twins came to call on you
The bigger they are babe
The harder they fall on you
And you you're always the same you persevere
On the same old pleasure ground
Oh and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down
You had no more volunteers
So you got profiteers for to help you out
With friends like that babe
Good friends you had to do without
And now they've taken the chains and the gears
From off your merry-go-round
Oh and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down
And your new romeo
Was just a gigolo when he let you down
See the faster they are babe
The faster they get out of town
Leaving make up stains and the tears
Of a clown
Yes and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down
Oh you were just a roller coaster memory
I don't know why I was even passing through
I saw you making a date with destiny
When he came around here asking after you
In the shadow of the wheel of fortune
You're busy trying to clear your name
You say 'i may be guilty yeah that may be true
But I'd be lying if I said I was to blame
See we could have been major contenders
We never got no money no breaks'
You've got a list of all the major offenders
You got a list of all their major mistakes
And he's just standing on the shadows
Yes and you smile that come-on smile
Oh I can still hear you say as clear as the day
'I'd like to make it worth your while'
Ah but it's a sad reminder
When your organ grinder has to come to you for the rent
And all you've got to give him
Is the use of your side-show tent
Yes and that's all that remains of the years
Spent doing to rounds
And it never rains around here
Well it just comes pouring down
Now you know what they say about beggars
You can't complain about the rules
You know what they say about beggars
You know who's the first to blame his tools
You never gave a damn about who you pick up
And leave lying bleeding on the ground
You screw people over on the way up
Because you thought that you were never coming down
And he takes you out in vaudeville valley
With his hand up smothering your screams
And he screws you down in tin pan alley
In the city of a billion dreams
<@#Dire_Straits_Love_Over_Gold.txt#@>
You walk out on the high wire
You're a dancer on thin ice
You pay no heed to the danger
And less to advice
Your footsteps are forbidden
But with a knowledge of your sin
You throw your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind
And you go dancing through doorways
Just to see what you will find
Leaving nothing to interfere
With the crazy balance of your mind
And when you finally reappear
At the place where you came in
You've thrown your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind
It takes love over gold
And mind over matter
To do what you do that you must
When the things that you hold
Can fall and be shattered
Or run through your fingers like dust
<@#Dire_Straits_One_World.txt#@>
Can't find no sleeves for my records
Can't get no laces for my shoes
Can't get no fancy notes
On my blue guitar
Can't get no antidote for blues
Can't find the reasons for your actions
Or I don't much like the reasoning you use
Somehow your motives are impure
Or somehow I can't find the cure
Can't find no antidote for blues
They say it's mostly vanity
That writes the plays we act
They tell me that's what everybody knows
There's no such thing as sanity
And that's the sanest fact
That's the way the story goes
Can't get no remedy on my TV
There's nothing but the same old news
They can't find a way to be
One world in harmony
Can't get no antidote for blues
<@#Dire_Straits_Planet_Of_New_Orleans.txt#@>
Standin' on the corner
Of Toulouse and Dauphine
Waitin' on Marie-Ondine
I'm tryin' to place a tune
Under a Louisiana moonbeam
On the planet of New Orleans
In a bar they call The Saturn
And in her eyes of green
And somethin' that she said in a dream
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root
And a true love figurine
For the planet of New Orleans
New Orleans - the other planet
With other life upon it
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
If you should ever land upon it
You better know what's on it
The planet of New Orleans
Now I'm tryin' to find my way
Through the rain and the steam
I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen
And then I heard her say
Somethin' in the Limousine
'Bout takin' a ride across the planet of New Orleans
If she was an ace
And I was just a jack
And the cards were never seen
We could have been the king and queen
But she took me back to her courtyard
Where magnolia perfume screams
Behind the gates and the granite
Of the planet of New Orleans

Uh-huh, uh-huh (x4)

Y'all been eatin long enough now stop bein greedy
Just keep it real partner give to the needy
Grips is touchy, so don't make me wait
Fuck around and I'm go'a bite you and snatch the plate
[dmx]
I could flip that flow, I could stick that hoe
I could get that dough, you know I'm with that yo
And the thing about the shit I came through, I haven't seen
But when it gets dark, it's like a nigga's havin dreams
All nightmares, the light dares to desert me
Got me like everybody wants to hurt me
Paranoid, so I strike out at what ever
The closest thing to me is gonna get it
But, never will I, can I think death is wrong
So i'ma keep holdin on til, what's left is gone
You could put that on my nigga boone
These other rap cats will give a nigga room
But if it ccalls for me to force my way in the door
Headhuntin mother fuckers, stay on the floor
4-4, that's what I get sick wit rrrrrrr
Four more, now all this is liquid rrrrrr
[hook x2]

I thank the lord everyday that I'm blessed with a gift
I'm the best, so, unless you wanna rest with the stiff
Don't touch that, uh-uh, leave it alone
When you walk pass the dog house leave it a bone
Dogs bite, dogs fight, dogs knife
Scratch, shake, and hold all night
So when you hear the arf arf, start runnin
Cause when you hear the arf arf, I'm comin
But I don't like drama so I say to myself,
"keep focus with this rap shit and pray for the wealth
I want the money and give me the honeys with big asses
The most expensive champagne you got in big glasses"
I'm broke so i'ma bash his head wide open
Beggin me to stop but at least he died hopin
Didn't get his wish, and now he's a dish with a cat
Two glowin red eyes, everything else is black
[hook x2]
[dmx]
When the sun is up the gun is up on the shelf
And all the runners up are thankin me for their help
Hopin that they not around when it gets dark outside
Sun's goin down you hear the bark outside
Locks off the cage, gauge, with the buck shots, faggot
You've been lucky all day that's when your luck stops
One drops, and another and another
Gun pops, go into you and your mother
When does it all end, I found a friend in a dog
Cause fuckin wit these cats will send a friend to the morgue
Many questions, no answers, just stress
Try to hold my head and remember that I'm blessed
If you curse and it gets worse as time goes by
Can't see straight cause I'm so high, why ask why when you know
Nigga when it's your time to go, you go

It was the last day of summer
It was the first of a new romance
He walked into her on the corner
She said, 'I don't dance'
He said, 'Baby let me teach you'
She said, 'O.K., when?'
He said, 'How can I reach you baby
I'd really like to see you again'
He picked her up on a Friday night
He took her for a bite to eat
His heart was beating and his hands were shaking
She thought he was sweet
And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor
Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek
And he walked her home and he kissed her
He was walking on air all week
Well, they couldn't stand to be apart
They couldn't leave one another alone
Her mama used to say, 'It's getting late sweetheart
It's time that boy went home'
And upstairs papa kissed mama
And she gave him a sweet caress
He said, 'Here's to the two young lovers
Let's wish 'em every happiness'
It was the last day of summer
They came walking home hand in hand
They went and told her mama
They showed her the wedding band
Mama cried and poured the wine
Papa just said God Bless
Now, here's to the two young lovers
Let's wish 'em every happiness

If we can't get along we oughtta be apart
And I'm wondering where'd you get that cold, cold heart
Set me free, sign my release
I'm tired of being the villain of the piece
You been givin' me a bad time
Tell me what'd I do
How come I always get a hard time
Honey when it comes to you
Sayin' things that you didn't have to
How come I always get a hard time
Honey when it comes to you
You only get one life, this I know
I wanna get my licks in now before I go
The fire of love is dead and cold
I gotta satisfy the hunger in my soul
And you been givin' me a bad time
Tell me what'd I do
How come I always get a hard time
Honey when it comes to you
Sayin' things that you didn't have to
How come I always get a hard time
Honey when it comes to you

It's late in the evening
She wonders what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asked me
Do I look alright?
I said yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful woman walking around with me
And then she asked me
Do you feel alright?
I said yes, I don't feel good
I feel wonderful because I see
No love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you.
It's time to go home now
And I got a big headache
So i give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I told her
As I turned out the lights
I say my darling
You were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling,
You were wonderful tonight
<@#Dire_Straits_You_And_Your_Friend.txt#@>
Will you and your friend come around
Are you and your friend gonna get on down
Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna let me down
If you talk to one another
I'm a hungry man
Let me know one way or the other
So I can make my plans
Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna get on down
Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna get on down
I relive the situation
Still see it in my mind
You got my imagination
Working overtime
<@#Divine_I_Wish.txt#@>
I tried to get you out of my head
But the more that I tried
You're back in my mind again
I must admit that I only got regrets
Since you walked out on me
Took my life my love and my happiness
I'll always be thinking of you
Wondering if you ever think of me too
How I hope and I pray that someday
I'll hold you in my arms again
1 I wish that I had you in my arms again baby
I'll hold you so tightly boy I can't pretend
That I don't love you, don't need you
The pain never ends
Who's gonna love me like you do
When nights are cold I can't help but shed a tear
When I recall all those precious memories we shared
You'd hold my hand and make me feel so safe and warm
I'll tried to move on
But you still have my heart and my soul
I'll always be thinking of you
Wondering if you ever think of me, too
How I hope and I pray that someday
I'll hold you in my arms again
Repeat 1
There will never be another you
You have changed my very existence as it were
Don't you know I love you more
I love you more, love you more
Than you'll never know
Repeat 1 until fade
<@#Dolly_Parton_A_Cowboys_Ways.txt#@>
(Dolly Parton)
Sometimes he gets crazy as men are known to do
He'll lose his head in spite of everything he stands to lose
What is it in a man that makes him act like such a fool
She swears she never knew but always needed to
But stubborn pride is just the way of cowboys I suppose
Even love can't change the things he ought to change the most
And it's pride that keeps him standing when he should be on his knees
Makin' apologies but she loves him desperately
Oh but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
So he'd know all the perfect lines to say
And have some great romantic way to show it
Be the hero ridin' up to save the day
And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor
To sweep her up and carry her away
Oh but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
No cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways
"I love you" and "I'm sorry" are words that just don't come
Cause words like that are no match for the kind that rule his tongue
But his eyes keep tellin' her "you know I love you anyway
No matter what I say or what I never say"
Oh but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
So he'd know all those fancy lines to say
And have some great romantic way to show it
Be the hero ridin' up to save the day
And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor
And sweep her up and carry her away
Oh but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
No cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways
His ways seem cold but she knows he's much warmer
But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
He's just a fool that must defend his honor
But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
<@#Dolly_Parton_Alabama_Sundown.txt#@>
The cold December wind seems bent on rockin' New York City
The town that's got me down to my last dime
And everywhere I go, the people seem in such a hurry
To keep this Mobile girl from feelin' fine
[Chorus]
Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
But that never was the Mobile way, no, no
That never was the Mobile way
A flashing sign says that you can rent a bed for just a dollar
In anybody's town, that price is cheap
It's a shame to know a girl would ever fall down to my standards
Cause I need ninety cents to go to sleep
[Chorus]
I felt so big the day I left that Mobile couldn't hold me
I thought there had to be a better way
But if I could find that man that first called Lady Luck a lady
That gentleman would surely learn to pray
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Dolly_Parton_All_I_Need_Is_You.txt#@>
Find the loneliest girl in a thousand find the saddest eyes you've ever seen
Find someone who's always longing for you find that man and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you to give my loving to all I need is you
Find a man who wakes up every morning and lives in a world of make believe
Find someone who's arms are aching for you you find that girl and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you to give my loving to all I need is you
You're with me now so let the world forsake us
I've found my heaven here within your arms
And nothing in this world can separate us you're all I ever wanted all along
And all I need is you all I want is you to give my loving to all I need is you

You said you wait for love before you fall
But, mama, I am sorry, I guess it's gonna be love after all
'Cause mama, when he holds me
The air is thick and sweet
He asked me if I'd come tonight
And hold him in his sleep
And I'm almost in love
I can feel myself fallin'
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin'
'Cause I'm almost in
Yes, I'm almost in love
Mama, I've grown into a woman
I been growing stronger and stronger day by day
Mama, you know about children
You raise them then they'll go away
Mama, when he holds me
He thrills me through and through
So dry your eyes and teach me how to say goodbye to you
And I'm almost in love
I can feel myself fallin'
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin'
'Cause I'm almost in
Yes, I'm almost in love

Your eyes reflect love and desire
I see that you need me
I need you to please me
You touch me and set me on fire
It's the way that you love me
The way that you touch me
The way that you whisper my name
I cannot resist you
Each time I kiss you
Then everything goes up in flames
Baby I'm burning out of control
Baby I'm burning body and soul
Hot as a pistol of flaming desire
Baby I'm burning
You got me on fire
I'm on fire
This red hot emotion
Puts fireworks in motion
It looks like the fourth of July
There's no use in fighting
The fire you've ignited
Just stand back and watch the sparks fly
Baby I'm burning out of control
Baby I'm burning body and soul
Hot as a pistol of flaming desire
Baby I'm burning
You got me on fire

Baby sister, what a waste to see you in this place
I lose my mind from worrying over you
In a bar room filled with people all higher than a steeple
But I know why you do the things you do
And I curse the man that made you what you are today
I hope he dies a thousand times a thousand ways
Your eyes are filled with tears, sis let's get out of here

People always comin' up to me and askin'
"Dolly, what's your secret?
With all you do, your attitude
Just seems to be so good
How do you keep it?"
Well, I'm not the Dalai Lama, but I'll try
To offer up a few words of advice
[Chorus]
You better get to livin', givin'
Don't forget to throw in a little forgivin'
And lovin' on the way
You better get to knowin', showin'
A little bit more concerned about where you're goin'
Just a word unto the wise
You better get to livin'
A girlfriend came to my house
Started cryin' on my shoulder Sunday evening
She was spinnin' such a sad tale
I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin'
So negative the words she had to say
I said if I had a violin I'd play
I said you'd better get to livin', givin'
Be willing and forgivin'
Cause all healing has to start with you
You better stop whining, pining
Get your dreams in line
And then just shine, design, refine
Until they come true
And you better get to livin'
Your life's a wreck, your house is mess
And your wardrobe way outdated
All your plans just keep on falling through
Overweight and under paid, under appreciated
I'm no guru, but I'll tell you
This I know is true.
You better get to livin', givin'
A little more thought about bein'
A little more willin' to make a better way
Don't sweat the small stuff
Keep your chin up
Just hang tough
And if it gets too rough
Fall on your knees and pray
And do that everyday
Then you'll get to livin'
The day we're born we start to die
Don't waste one minute of this life
Get to livin'
Share your dreams and share your laughter
Make some points for the great hereafter
Better start carin'
Better start sharin'
Better start tryin'
Better start smiling
And you better get to livin'...

Is my name written there on those pages bright and fair
Is my name written in the book of life
If you want to be up there then down here you must prepare
And your name must be in the book of life
Get down on your knees and pray you from sin must turn away
Or your name won't be in the book of life
If you'll turn to Jesus now at his feet just humbly bow
Then your name will be in the book of life

Don't you know that Christ was sent that from sin you could repent
So your name could be in the book of life
You will have a great surprise if you fell to recognize
That your name must be in the book of life
Get down on your knees and pray you from sin must turn away
Or your name won't be in the book of life
Don't delay and don't forget that from sin you could repent
Then your name will be in the book of life
Is my name written in the book of life

And love my sword and shield
I must defeat the enemy
I will, I will, I will
A brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And I must carry on
A brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Brave, little soldier
<@#Dolly_Parton_Cry,_Cry_Darlin.txt#@>
Cry, cry darlin', that's what I'll do
If you should leave me with the blues
Cry, cry darlin', that's what I'll do
If you're the one that I should lose
For me there will be no moonlight
If ever we should part
Cry, cry darlin', that's all I'll do
'Cause you're the one that's in my heart
Cry, cry darlin', my eyes would cry
And never dry if you should go
Cry, cry darlin', when shadows creep
I'll just weep all night I know
You know how much I'd miss you
If ever we should part
Cry, cry darlin', that's all I'll do
'Cause you're the one that's in my heart
Oh, cry, cry darlin', that's all I'll do
'Cause you're the one that's in my heart
<@#Dolly_Parton_Daddy_Wont_Be_Home_Anymore.txt#@>
As I look around the little house we were so happy in
I think of all the happy times we'll never see again
Then I break down and start to cry, the children ask what for
I can't find a way to tell them that Daddy won't be home anymore
Each night before they go to sleep they fold their little hands
And say a prayer for Daddy fighting in their far-off land
So tonight I'll help them say their prayers like I've always done before
God give me courage to tell them that Daddy won't be home anymore
But honey as for me there'll never be another man
And I'll bring our children up the best way that I can
You died for what you thought was right that much I know for sure
But the children just can't understand why Daddy won't be home anymore
No the children just don't understand why Daddy won't be home anymore
<@#Dolly_Parton_Daddys_Moonshine_Still.txt#@>
Folks say my daddy wasn't much of a man
For disobeying the laws of the land
Folks say that my daddy wasn't fit to kill
Oh and I know it was true what the people said
Cause we'd all've been better of dead
Than to live a life of shame and strife
Cause of daddy's moonshine still
My mama was always sweet and kind
But she grew old before her time
Worryin' about the way we had to live
Yeah my daddy put the wrinkles in my mama's face
He drunk his share of all he made
And just one more reason I grew to hate
My daddy's moonshine still
Chorus:
Daddy's moonshine still was good for nothin'
But to break mama's heart
And to tear our home apart
Make our lives a livin' hell
Them old mason jars that daddy made us wash
And set them out to sun on our back porch
'Til he got ready to take 'em up on the hill
And when daddy got word of the revenue
He made us kids help hide his brew
Made us swear that we never knew
About daddy's moonshine still
Yeah and two of my brothers drove across the state line
Once a week with a load of moonshine
And the wounds that came from that won't ever heal
Cause on a moonshine run one rainy night
My two brothers lost their lives
And oh my god how I despise
My daddy's moonshine still
Repeat Chorus
Well it broke mama's heart but she understood
The day that I left home for good
But I had to find me another way to live
Well I sent mama money nearly every day
And how I made it, well I'd rather not say
But at least it took me far away
From daddy's moonshine still
My bootlegging daddy was known quite well
And he made our home a livin' hell
And I ain't forgot it and I know that I never will
My mama finally died she just gave up
And daddy finally died from drinkin' that stuff
And bad memories haunt the rest of us
From daddy's moonshine still
Repeat Chorus
<@#Dolly_Parton_Do_You_Think_That_Time_Stands_Still.txt#@>
You left you didn't say goodbye
You never gave me a reason why
My tears are dried now it's been a while
Now there you szand you're back again
Do you think that time stands still do you think that time stands still
Things have changed I've rearranged so many things
Do you think that time stands still do you think that time stands still
It never has it never will do you think that time stands still
You won't to start where we left off
Somebody found the love you lost
Love has its price we've paid the cost
We lose and learn now it's your turn
Do you think that time stands still...
Do you think that time stands still...
Oh do you think that time stands still...
<@#Dolly_Parton_Dont_Drop_Out.txt#@>
Am I to face these lonely halls alone
And when you leave, who's gonna walk me home
Cause when you walk out the door I won't see you no more
And you're the one I adore so baby
Chorus:
Don't drop out of my life, baby, don't be a fool
(Don't drop out, baby, don't drop out now)
You're old enough to know you're too young to face the world so cruel
(Don't drop out, baby, don't drop out now)
You're not prepared to do anything
So if you wanna buy me that diamond ring, well
Don't drop out of my life, baby, don't drop out
My parents say you're lazy but you can be smart if you try
And I know you've got a heart cause you've never ever made me cry
They say you're no good so baby do what you should
And stay here by my side oh darlin'

Don't drop out of my life
Baby, don't drop out

(Dolly Parton)
Down on Music Row
Down on music Row
If you want to be a star
That's where you've got to go
I could feel a change a comin'
I left my hometown a hummin'
With my ol' guitar a strummin'
Songs that I had wrote
I was on my way to Nashville
I just couldn't hardly wait
'Till I could sing my songs
To the folks on Music Row
I got into Nashville early
Sleepy, hungry, tired and dirty
And on the steps of RCA
I ate a stale, sweet roll
In the fountain at the hall of fame
I washed my face and read the names
In the walkway of the stars
Down on Music Row
Down on Music Row
Down on music Row
If you want to be a star
That's where you've got to go
I waited there 'till eight o'clock
When office doors became unlocked
Then I started walkin'
Down the streets of Music Row
Just a walkin' up and down the street
Tryin' to find out who to see
To help me get on record
And to hear the songs I'd wrote
But I found it goin' rough
Everyone was all tied up
Either in a conference
Or in the studio
They said that I could leave a tape
But they'd suggest I didn't wait
'Cause everyone was awful busy
Down on Music Row
But I could feel that change a comin'
And I just kept right on a hummin'
With my ol' guitar still strummin'
All them songs that I'd wrote
And then Chet and Bob at RCA
Well, they listened to my songs that day
And they both told me that I was on my way
Down on Music Row
Down on Music Row
Down on music Row
If you want to be a star
That's where you've got to go
<@#Dolly_Parton_Dumb_Blonde.txt#@>
Don't try to cry your way out of this
Don't try to lie or I'll catch you in it
Don't try to make me feel sorry for you
Just because I'm blond
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blond ain't nobody's fool
When you left you thought I'd sit
An' you thought I'd wait
An' you thought I'd cry
You called me a dumb blond
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blond has learned
Blonds have more fun
You flew too high up off the ground
It's stormy weather an' had to come back down
But I've found a new thread for my old spool
Just because I'm blond
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blond ain't nobody's fool
When you left you thought I'd sit
An' you thought I'd wait
An' you thought I'd cry
You called me a dumb blond
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blond has learned
Blonds have more fun
You flew too high up off the ground

<@#Dolly_Parton_Evening_Shade.txt#@>
(Dolly Parton)
My train of thought was broken by a sudden burst of laughter
Something badly needed to brighten up the chores
Seemed old Mr.. Bailey had accidentally fell
In the water being used to scrub the floors
Now Mr.. Bailey was the meanest matron at the home
She believed in lots of work with little play
And we laughed till we bent double
Though we knew we'd get in trouble
But trouble's all we had at evening shade
Now evening shade was where they claim to teach you understanding
To teach you love and keep you off the streets
And all the kids that live here are said to be a problem
Juvenile delinquents so to speak
But understanding isn't learned from punishment and anger
An iron has no gentle touch and love ain't learned from hate
The reason we were here is 'cause we had no one who cared
But they cared even less at evening shade
Little Susan Bradley, one night had wet her bed
Mr.. Bailey took the razor strap and beat her half to death
And I knew that something must be done to put an end to this
And so I started talking plans with the older kids
Plans were that Joe Johnson would steal the kerosene
And I would get some matches when nobody seen
Beckie Adams would make sure the kids were all outside
Billy Watson would look out for the evil eye
Now Mr.. Bailey took a nap at three o'clock each day
We knew that she'd be a'sleeping as the plans got underway
Now that its all over and the sun is going down
There's no evening shade 'cause we burned it to the ground
<@#Dolly_Parton_Fires_Still_Burning.txt#@>
Familiar sounds tell me it's morning the night has been so dark and long
Each night without you just gets longer
While this torch I still carry just burns stronger
I know I never will stop loving you my tears just can't put out the flame
Or drown my hopes of your returning cause baby the fire's still burning
[Steel]
Wherever you are I hope you're happy although your love for me has died
But if you ever need or want me I'll take you back any time
I know I never will stop...
Yes baby the fire's still burning
<@#Dolly_Parton_From_Here_To_The_Moon_And_Back.txt#@>
I could hold out my arms, say "I love you this much"
I could tell you how long I will long for your touch
How much and how far would I go to prove
The depth and the breadth of my love for you?
From here to the moon and back
Who else in this world will love you like that?
Love everlasting, I promise you that
From here to the moon and back
From here to the moon and back
I want you to know you can always depend
On promises made and love without end
No need to wonder how faithful I'll be
Now and on into eternity
From here to the moon and back
Who else in this world will love you like that?
Forever and always, I'll be where you're at
From here to the moon and back
From here to the moon and back
I would blow you a kiss from the star where I sat
I would call out your name to echo through the vast
Thank heaven for you and to God, tip my hat
From here to the moon and back
And I'll spend forever just proving that fact
From here to the moon and back
<@#Dolly_Parton_Go_Tell_It_On_The_Mountain.txt#@>
Go tell it on the mountain over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds kept their watch o'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens there shown a holy light

Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Savior's birth
Go tell it on the mountain
Go tell it on the mountain
Go tell it on the mountain

<@#Dolly_Parton_Green-eyed_Boy.txt#@>
(Dolly Parton)
I flew off to the wild blue yonder
'Cause I had a dream
And I had to go
But I'm filled with a sense of wonder
From the love I shared
With a green-eyed boy
Lips as sweet as mountain honey
A body warm as home made wine
But he had no dreams
And no means for money
But he had me just anytime
Take me back, If just in memory
Fill my cup again with joy
The fire still burns in the old rock chimney
And I still burn for that green-eyed boy
Now he was pretty
With chiseled features
Like the movie stars in the magazines
My first love and the son of a preacher
I fantasized me was James Dean
But the world outside kept pulling at me
Offered me fame, respect, and gold
Designer clothes and a fancy mansion
Expensive cars, so I chose those
Take me back, If just in memory
Fill my cup again with joy
The fire still burns in the old rock chimney
And I still burn for that green-eyed boy
Take me back, If just in memory
Fill my cup again with joy
The fire still burns in the old rock chimney
And I still burn for that green-eyed boy
Ooh, ooh, how I love that green-eyed boy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, and I still miss
That green-eyed boy
Do you think about me
When the nights are long and cold
Do you ever miss me
Do you my green-eyed boy
<@#Dolly_Parton_Heartsong.txt#@>
Chorus:
A heartsong melody play like a symphony
The sweetest music I have ever known
A song of joy and pain
The mountain angels sing
A bittersweet refreign of my Smokey Mountain Home, heartsong
Farmer's daughter if you will
And I often wonder still
In memories where I rammbled as a child
Makes me cry and makes me laugh
My reflections on the past
And the family, friends, and faith that shaped my life
Ragged clothes and hand-me-downs
Just enough to go around
But the sweetest things in life are always free
Like the songs the birds would sing
And the sweet new grass of spring
And the sacred blossoms on the dogwood tree
Repeat Chorus
And I recall the thrill and joy
Of a Smokey Mountain boy
I remember my first kiss and my first love
And the songs I'd song and write
And the dreams I'd clutch so tight
And the loved ones that gave me that extra shove
And in that little house 'a prayer
Where I spent many hour
Prassin' God and liftin' up His name
And asking Him to lead and to keep watch over me
As I headed up that rocky road to fame
And now this, Smokey Mountain girl has been all around the world
But it makes no difference just how far I roam
I still cling to that part that is so dear to my heart
My faith in God and memories of home
Repeat Chorus
<@#Dolly_Parton_Heavens_Just_A_Prayer_Away.txt#@>
If you're trying to reach Heaven
You talk to Jesus, you talk to Him every day.
'Cause Jesus knows, He knows that you are coming
And Heaven's just a prayer away.
If you go, if you go to church on Sunday
You get down on your knees and pray
And give your heart and your soul to Jesus.
Heaven's just a prayer away.
You are just one prayer from Heaven
As you travel down life's highway.
Just when you think that you can't make it,
Well, Heaven's just a prayer away.
Of, if you go, if you go to church on Sunday
You get down on your knees and pray
And give your heart and give your soul to Jesus.
Heaven's just a prayer away.
Heaven's just a prayer away.
Away
<@#Dolly_Parton_Hes_Alive.txt#@>
The gates and doors were barred
And all the windows fastened down
I spent the night in sleeplessness
And rose at every sound
Half in hope of sorrow
And half in fear the day
Would find the soldiers breakin' through
To drag us all away
And just before the sunrise
I heard something at the wall
The gate began to rattle
And a voice began to call
I hurried to the window
Looked down into the street
Expecting swords and torches
And the sound of soldiers' feet
But there was no one there but Mary
So I went down to let her in
John stood there beside me
As she told me where she'd been
She said they've moved Him in the night
And none of us know where
The stone's been rolled away
And now His body isn't there
We both ran towards the garden
Then John ran on ahead
We found the stone and empty tomb
Just the way that Mary said
But the winding sheet they wrapped Him in
Was just an empty shell
And how or where they'd taken Him
Was more than I could tell
Oh something strange had happened there
Just what I did not know
John believed a miracle
But I just turned to go
Circumstance and speculation
Couldn't lift me very high
'Cause I'd seen them crucify Him
Then I saw Him die
Back inside the house again
The guilt and anguish came
Everything I'd promised Him
Just added to my shame
When at last it came to choices
I denied I knew His name
And even if He was alive
It wouldn't be the same
But suddenly the air was filled
With a strange and sweet perfume
Light that came from everywhere
Drove shadows from the room
And Jesus stood before me
With His arms held open wide
And I fell down on my knees
And I just clung to Him and cried
Then He raised me to my feet
And as I looked into His eyes
The love was shining out from Him
Like sunlight from the skies
Guilt in my confusion
Disappeared in sweet release
And every fear I ever had
Just melted into peace
He's alive yes He's alive
Yes He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive yes He's alive
Oh He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive He's alive
Hallelujah He's alive
He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive He's alive He's alive
I believe it He's alive
Sweet Jesus

I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven oh what a beautiful sight
And I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven oh what a star spangled night
Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven
And just as I arrived the old curtain lifted
And there on stage stood who else but Roy Acuff and Tex Ritter
They said well how you doing come on in here
I know there's some folks you want to see
Over there's our newest member your old friend Conway Twitty say Hello Darlin'
And there's gentlemen Jim Reeves singin' with heaven's choir
Roger Miller he just got here he's making everybody laugh
Course you know Roy Orbison can sing just as high as anybody here
And Ernest Tubb can sing as low
And Patsy Cline well bet she's the best singin' angel here
And Dottie West is probably the prettiest
There's the old pea-picker Ernie Ford
Jimmy Rodgers George Morgan Hank Williams
And the wandering boy Web Pierce
The old honky tonker himself Lefty Frizzell
My goodness what a group
Would you just listen to Mother Mabel
Over there pickin' the Wildwood Flower with the angel band
You know I personally think she's just about God's favorite
And Marty Robbins well he's still gettin' more encores than anybody else up
here
Just like he used to down on earth
Yeah well there's Elvis they still call him the King
But we know they're not talking about the real king up here
I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven oh what a star studded night
Then I ask Roy and Tex I said well who do you think will be showin' up
Say within the next 40 50 60 years
They handed me a big tallybook and in it I saw names like Johnny Cash
George Jones Merle Haggard Don Gibson Mel Tillis Farren Young Kitty Wells
Some of the newer ones like Vince Gill and Garth Brooks
Course they talked about Minnie Pearl the Judds Tanya Tucker Reba McEntire
Hank Jr
Oh of course Buck Owens Roy Rodgers Gene Autry Randy Travis and Willie Nelson
There's old Chet
I said well where's Porter Wagoner's name oh there it is
And then there was Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton
Oooh that's when I woke up
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven oh what a beautiful sight
And I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven oh what a star spangled night

Just searching for someplace to be
Wasn't looking for trouble
I guess it was looking for me
And I knew I was wasting my time
But it was nobody's business
Nobody's business but mine
I was taking some comfort
I needed a break from the rain
I guess I was mistaken
And someone remembered my name
But I knew I was doin' just fine
And it was nobody's business
Nobody's business but mine
Well I guess for some
Revenge is sweet
Though it be once removed
I hope you feel better
I don't know what you proved
Well, yonder comes the Emperor, boys
He sure looks fine in blue
I hope you feel better, babe
I know you're scared too
Well it sure makes you wonder
The things that some people will say
They can see black and white but they
Don't seem to notice the gray
What a price for a victimless crime

Nobody's business but mine
Yeah, it was nobody's business

Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
My car got repossessed this morning
Harder times I haven't seen in years
Girl you better throw me a life preserver
'Cause I'm about to drown in my own tears
[Chorus x 2]
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Shaking, shakey ground
Standing, standing
Standing on shakey ground
<@#Don_Henley_Sit_Down_Youre_Rockin_The_Boat.txt#@>
I dreamed last night
I was on the boat to heaven
By some chance
I had brought my dice along
And there I stood
And I hollered someone fade me
But the passengers they knew right from wrong
And the people all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
The people all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
Cause the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapels of your checkered coat
Sit down Sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
Oooh Oooh Oooh (scat)
Oooh Oooh Oooh
As I sailed
With those passengers to heaven
By some chance
I found a bottle in my fist
And there I stood
Nicely passing out the whiskey
But the passengers were bound to resist
And the people all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
The people all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
Cause the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapels of your checkered coat
Sit down Sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh
As we sail
On that tiny boat to heaven
Great big wave
Came and washed me over board
And as I sank
Oh I hollered someone save me
That's the moment I woke up
Thank the lord
And I said to myself sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
I said to myself sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
Cause the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapels of your checkered coat
Sit down Sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
Sit down (Sit down) Sit down (Sit down)
Sit down Sit down you're rockin the boat
<@#Don_Henley_Watching_Tv.txt#@>
We were watchin' tv...watchin'tv
We were watchin' tv...watchin'tv
In tiananmen square
Lost my baby there
My yellow rose
And her bloodstained clothes
She was a short order pastry chef
In a dim sum dive on the yangtze tideway
She had shiny hair
She was the daughter of an engineer
Won't you she'd a tear
For my yellow rose
My yellow rose
And her bloodstained clothes
She had perfect breasts
She had high hopes
She had almond eyes
She had yellow thighs
She was a student of philosophy
Won't you grieve with me
For my yellow rose
Shed a tear
For her bloodstained clothes
She had shiny hair
She had perfect breasts
She had high hopes
She had almond eyes
She had yellow thighs
She was the daughter of an engineer
So get out your pistols
Get out your stones
Get out your knives
Cut them to the bone
They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine
They built the dark satanic mills
That manufacture hell on earth
They bought the front row seats on calvary
They are irrelevant to me
And I grieve for my sister
People of china
Do not forget do not forget
The children who died for you
Long live the republic
Did we do anything after this
I've a feeling we did
We were watchin' tv...watchin' tv
We were watchin' tv...watchin' tv
She wore a white bandanna that said
Freedom now
She thought the great wall of china
Would come tumbling down
She was a student
Her father was an engineer
Won't you she'd a tear
For my yellow rose
My yellow rose
And her bloodstained clothes
Her grandpa fought old chiang kai-shek
That no-good low-down dirty rat
Who used to order his troops
To fire on the women and children
Imagine that imagine that
And in the spring of '48
Mao tse-tung got quite irate
And he kicked that old dictator chiang
Out of the state of china
Chiang kai-shek came down in formosa
And they armed the island of quemoy
And the shells were flying across the china sea
And they turned formosa into a shoe factory
Called taiwan
And she is different from cro-magnon man
She's different from anne boleyn
She is different from the rosenbergs
And from the unknown jew
She is different from the unknown nicaraguan
Half superstar half victim
She's a victor star conceptually new
And she is different from the dodo
And from the kankanbono
She is different from the aztec
And from the cherokee
She's everybody's sister
She's symbolic of our failure
She's the one in fifty million
Who can help us to be free
Because she died on tv
<@#Don_McLean_Building_My_Body.txt#@>
I'm building my body
I'm happy when I'm building my body
I'm tired of fighting, let's make friends
I'm tired of burning both ends
That's why I'm building my body
It hurts me but I'm building my body
And I know what the pain is worth
I know I feel the pain of birth
I'm pushin' up
And gettin' down with my body
There's no-one else around with my body
One look says I'm a stone disgrace
Don't kick no sand in my face
Because I'm building my body strong
I'm watching what I eat
And I'm sorting out right from wrong
Hey, not a lot of meat
And I know that it won't be long
Before I gotta quit smoking
Because I'm building my body
I'm peaceful when I'm building my body
I'm sweating out mistakes I've made
I'm getting back the dues I've paid
I'm doing more
And getting sore with my body
But I'm gaining a rapport with my body
And this seems like the perfect time
They say I'm in my prime
That's why I'm building my body strong
I'm thinking at the table
And I'm sorting out right from wrong
I'm reading every label
And I know that it won't be long
Before I gotta quit smoking
'Cause I'm building my body
There's someone else inside of my body
He's waiting to be born again
<@#Don_McLean_Crying_In_The_Chapel.txt#@>
You saw me crying in the chapel.
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day
I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
Ev'ry sinner looks for something
That will put his heart at ease
There is only one true answer
He must get down on his knees
Meet your neighbor in the chapel
Join with him in tears of joy
You'll know the meaning of contentment
Then you'll be happy with the Lord
You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way
<@#Don_McLean_Did_You_Know.txt#@>
Did you know that love can grow any place where people go,
And I can tell by what I see that you have found a place with me.
The sun is high the day is new and
I have found a place with you.
Every place and every face casts a spell and leaves a trace,
With you in mind and with you near, the myth is gone, the past is clear
And here with scars of now and then so you and I begin again.
Did you know I've been searchin'? Did you know I've been blind?
Did you know I've been touchin' anything I could find?
Did you know that here below, moving where my feelings flow,
You live with me in time that's new, suspended in a love that's true
And far beyond the fatal noise and bathed in all life's simple joys.
Did you know that love can grow any place where people go,
And I can tell by what I see that you have found a place with me.
<@#Don_McLean_If_We_Try.txt#@>
When I see you on the street, I lose my concentration.
Just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation.
Won't you look my way once before you go and my eyes will say what you ought
to know.
Well I've been thinkin' about you day and night
And I don't know if it'll work out right
But somehow I think that it just might, if we try.
Faces come and faces go in circular rotation.
But something yearns within to grow beyond infatuation.
Won't you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know.
Well you've got me standin' deaf and blind
Cause I see love as just a state of mind
And who knows what it is that we might find, if we try.
You're walking a different direction from most people I've met.
You're givin' me signs of affection I don't usually get.
I don't want you to pledge your future the future's not yours to give.
Just stand there a little longer and let me watch while you live.
'Cause when I see you on the street, I lose my concentration.
And just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation.
Won't you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know.
Well I've been thinking about you day and night
And I don't know if it will work out right
But somehow I think that it just might, if we try.
Somehow I think that it just might if we try.
Yes somehow I think that it just might if we try.

<@#Don_McLean_No_Reason_For_Your_Dreams.txt#@>
There's no need to find a reason for your dreams
for there is always more to dreaming than there seems to be.
And I'll be thankful if through out my life you dream of me.
It's all that I could ask for while I live.
A dream is such a lovely gift to give.
Ah, da, da.
Your fragile beauty caught me in its web.
And I am held by every silver strand of love you spin.
Here in a swirl of sleeping circles all my dreams begin.
Dreams that somehow always end with you.
You're the one that makes my dreams come true.
Sleep is lovely when you sleep next to me.
And while you're dreaming let your thoughts all run free.
But if I could understand what makes you free,
then I would capture you and hold you for eternity.
But I'm afraid that would destroy the love you feel for me.
And loving you is how it has to be.
Reasons don't mean anything to me.
Loving you is how it has to be.
Reasons don't mean anything to me....
<@#Don_McLean_Oh_My_What_A_Shame.txt#@>
They were married in the old Church yard
And they promised to be true to each other
No matter how hard their lives might be
But like meteors that fell through moments parallel
They were soon to cross
And on different plots of earth they both did fall
Though their lives had really not been hard at all
Chorus:
Oh my what a shame
No one's to blame
It just happened that way
And there's nothing you can say
When two people say goodbye
Oh my...
Two brothers, promised they'd return
When the war that they were fighting was over
But only one lived to keep his vow
And the story I was told said he lived to be quite old
Before time won out
Someone asked if he knew what they both fought for
But he could not recall he had ever been to war
[Chorus:]
Bridge:
For there's nothing you can say when it's over
And there's nothing you can do when it's done
There's no battle you can win
And there's nothing to begin
That's not begun
On this moment, I recall your face
And I wonder if you still think about me
Occasionally I still think of you
And I watch the river flow and I know I must let go
But it's oh so hard
For the waves are all around my small canoe
I had always hoped this boat could carry two
[Chorus:]
<@#Don_McLean_Pretty_Paper.txt#@>
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darlin from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Crowded streets, busy feet, hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him on by
Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You better hurry, my how time does fly
And in the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you

Patiently I'll wait...

<@#Donna_Summer_(Theme)_Once_Upon_A_Time.txt#@>
(Voice monologue over "Once Upon A Time" instrumental)
Once upon a time, there was a girl
She lived in the land of never-never
Where everything real is unreal
And only fairy tales come true
Something like me and you
But she believed that what she dreamed of could be real
So she strived on to make it come true
Fighting odds, not knowing what would come of her
Never giving up the hope within her
She carried on and on, because she believed
That once, once in a time in her lifetime
The things so unreal would be real
And in the morning, one day when she awoke
To find herself surrounded by the same old room
She was disappointed
So she dreamed and she dreamed
And she dreamed and she dreamed and she dreamed
And she said that fairy tales do come true
'cause I believe, I believe
And she kept trying, and she kept right on fighting
Till one day she met a man who held her tight
And she fell in love
Once upon a time, in the land of never-never
Where all things real are unreal
There lived a girl who believed
That all things could be possible
And one day she did awake
And found herself somewhere else
Beside her a brand new face
Of someone that she loved
<@#Donna_Summer_Bad_Girls.txt#@>
Bad girls
Talking about the sad girls
Sad girls
Talking about bad girls, yeah
See them out on the street at night, walkin'
Picking up on all kinds of strangers
If the price is right
You can't score if you're pocket's tight
But you want a good time
You ask yourself who they are
Like everybody else, they come from near and far
Bad girls
Talking about the sad girls
Sad girls
Talking about bad girls, yeah
Friday night, and the strip is hot
Sun's gone down, and they're out to trot
Spirit's high, and legs look hot
Do you want to get down?
Now, don't you ask yourself who they are?
Like everybody else, they want to be a star
Now, you and me, we're both the same
But you call yourself by different names
Now, your mama won't like it when she finds out
Girl is out at night
Hey, mister, have you got a dime?
Mister, do you want to spend some time? Oh, yeah
I got what you want, you got what I need
I'll be your baby, come and spend it on me
Hey, mister I'll spend some time with you
<@#Donna_Summer_Black_Lady.txt#@>
It was bad, really mean
She had the kind of reputation to make any woman scream
Late one night, when it wasn't right
And he made a catch and he met his match
Black lady, black lady
She was mean, really bad
She was slender as a cat at night, she made the men go mad
Well her eyes were green and her skin was soft
And the lady's heart was as hard as rock
Black lady, oh black lady
You better beware, better beware
Better beware, better beware, better beware, better beware
You better beware, you better beware, ware
Black lady's out to get you now
Better beware, better beware, better beware, better beware
Well he tried to fight it, tried to win
But no matter where the poor man turned, the lady halted him
Her wish was his command, his life in her hands
And the death was slow 'cause she won't let go
Oh, black lady, that black lady
She tried to win, tried to buy
She was all over him 'cause he played all the cards just right
He laid out his hand like a winning man
With a smile so deep, she put him into a sleep
And you know she won
Oh black lady, black lady
You better beware, you better beware
Ware, ware, ware, ware, ware,
Ware, ware, ware, ware, ware, ware
Black lady, you better beware
Black lady, black lady, black lady, lady
Well she tried to fight it, she just tried to win
Black lady, you better beware
Better beware, better beware, better beware, better beware
<@#Donna_Summer_Cant_We_Just_Sit_Down.txt#@>
Cold and lonely night, you don't have to leave at all
A car rolls up outside on time, a moment from your call
And handshake seems more fitting than a kiss
Such a shame that you and I should have to end like this
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Surely you can ask the better way
Strange that you're the one so set on leaving
And I'm the one who said last night that it was all too late
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Who knows, maybe in a little while
We'll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and I can talk it out
Tonight stay somewhere warm, they say it's gonna freeze
You may not find a place at all, so be sure and take your keys
I can almost taste the silence now
Does it really matter still,
Who was wrong, who let who down
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Who knows, maybe in a little while
We'll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and I can talk it out
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and I can talk it out
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and I can make it right
Hold on, hold on, yeah
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

I'm walking the line
I'm walking the line
Treading thin ice
Time after time
I go for the best, end up with much less
I need the real thing
Forget all the rest
Started out good
Working out bad
All the sweet love turner
Sour and sad
A face and name
It's always the same
So tired of playing love's foolish games
Tell me why
Love passes me by
[Chorus]
Cold love, cold love
Another shot of rock 'n' roll love
Cold love, cold love
Whatever happened to that
Good old love
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
Hope in the dark, love in the light
I'll keep on looking for someone
Who's right
I'm out for the best
Can you stand the test
I need the real thing
No more and no less
Tell me why
Love passes me by
[Chorus]
<@#Donna_Summer_Dont_Cry_For_Me_Argentina.txt#@>
This won't be easy
You'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to nines
For sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I choose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it too
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise, don't keep your distance
And as for fortune
And as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it appeared to the world
They were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise,
Don't keep your distance
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
<@#Donna_Summer_Fascination.txt#@>
No escaping
No spell is over me
Fantasy's fact you see in my life
Time and motion
Seem to have made a stop
And if the whole world passes by
I wouldn't bat an eye
If you say you were mine
Fascination all I do is
Fascination dream of you
Such devotion
I've never felt before
You opened up a door in my life
No tomorrow
Could there be without you
And if you should say goodbye
I think that I would die
Fascination all I do is
Fascination dream of you
I can't think about anything else
But you
There's nothing I can do
Oh no, oh no
Nothing I can do
Nothing I can do
I can't think about anything else
But you
There's nothing I can do
Fascination all I do is
Fascination dream of you
Fascination all I do is
Fascination dream of you
Fascination...
<@#Donna_Summer_Forgive_Me.txt#@>
Every day I give you a reason to cry
I see the hurt in your eyes
But stronger yet
I see the love that shines
Help me learn to take on the nature of you
And love more than I accuse
And pardon others like you taught me to
'Cause something happens inside my heart
Lord, when I obey
Something happens inside my heart
Every time I pray
Forgive me
As I learn how to forgive
The ones who broke my heart
The way I've broken yours
Forgive me
As I learn how to forgive
And reach out through the pain
And touch with hands of grace
As you prayed for those who crucified you
"Forgive, they don't know what they do"
Compassion reched out to a world confused
Help me learn to bless those who persecute me
And pray for my enemies
And show them mercy like you've shown to me
'Cause something happens inside my heart
Lord, when I obey
Something happens inside my heart
Every time I pray
Forgive me
As I learn how to forgive
The ones who broke my heart
The way I've broken yours
Forgive me
As I learn how to forgive
And reach out through the pain
And touch with hands of grace
Forgive me
As I learn how to forgive
The ones who broke my heart
The way I've broken yours
Forgive me
As I learn how to forgive
And reach out through the pain
And touch with hands of grace
Forgive me

Gotta keep searching like a stray stray cat
Highway runner chasing time since the day he was born
Highway runner racing time around the world one more time
For one more time
It ain't even me can hold him down
Country just a breath from town to town
He got restless feet and a restless mind
Never want to travel through the same place twice

Well I give it little care
Does anybody out there even know
I'm in here?
I just keep my movement going
Somewhere
Like playing in the background baby
Like playing in the background baby
I play the game
You play the way that most men would choose
I'm surprised at you
Way back in the middle of a broken down love affair
You and I found each other
And we fell in love
I ain't never met a man and woman get along better
Than you and I when get together
Still I say
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Not if it makes me cry
No no
See the lady walking down the street
She's got on high heel shoes
And her hair full of curlers
She's got stiletto nails
And some black mascara
She's got a push up and a pick up
I tell you that girl's working overtime
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Not if it makes me cry
No no no no no no
I don't wanna work
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work it if makes me cry
Spent last night
Talking to myself in bed
Wondering why I do this over
Over and over again
I don't know
I, I, I, I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Not when it makes me cry
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work not that hard
I don't wanna work it it makes me cry
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work not that hard
I don't wanna work if it makes me cry

It's all I ever think about, all I ever think about
Baby, in the heart of my heart, I want more
Of the man who just walked through that door
The only one that my eyes see
Baby, as the moments have drifted away
As the hours became lonely days
You're the answer to what I have prayed
I, I will be good to you, I, I will be true
I got your love, it's all that I got
I got your love, all I ever think about
I got your love, every last drop
I got your love, all I ever think about
It's all I ever think about, all I ever think about
Oh, baby, losin' you's all that I fear
And I'm losing it when you're not here
I never could go on without you
Oh, baby, I feel like a shower of light
And I need you right here by my side
I'm craving you all of my life
I, I will be good to you, I, I will be true
I got your love, all that I got
I got your love, it's all I ever think about

So many heartaches i put you through
So much trouble and pain
So many tears i made you cry
I'll never put you though that again
I'm gonna make every minute count
And cover you with all my love
If it makes you feel good
I'm gonna give it all up to you
If it makes you feel good
I'm gonna make all your dreams come true
You're not alone in the world
There's always someone who cares
This time i'm sure i'm your girl
I'm not going anywhere
Let me show you what the girl can do
I'll cover you with all my love
If it makes you feel good
I'm gonna make it all up to you
If it makes you feel good
I'm gonna make all your dreams come true
If it makes you feel good
I'm gonna make it all up to you
If it makes you feel good
I'm gonna love you through, through and through
I kept you waiting for so long
Now i see that i was wrong
I guess love you oh so much
Now i thrill to your touch
I kept you waiting for so long
Now that's all in the past
Don't you say you can't go on
I'm gonna give you love that lasts
I'm gonna make ever minute count
And cover you with all my love
If it makes you feel good
I'm gonna make it all up to you
If it makes you feel good
I'm gonna make all your dreams come true
If it makes you feel good
I'm gonna make it all up to you
If it makes you feel good
I'm gonna love you through, through and through
<@#Donna_Summer_In_Another_Place_And_Time.txt#@>
I can't lie
I was attracted too
Somehow the feelings
Were so strong inside
But I'm not free to be
In love with you maybe
Things would be different
In another place and time
And I can't give you
All you want me to
And I know you deserve
The best from me
But I can't give you more
Of all that you long for
I would have loved you
In another place and time
Dreams aren't always bound to come true
But that's no reason you should cry
'Cause I would have loved you
Really loved you
In another place and time
I'm hurting deep inside
Just want you to know
Oh, I would have loved you
Oh yeah, in another place and time
Fate can't always be led by you
The time ain't right for you and I
In another place and time
In another place and time
<@#Donna_Summer_Its_Not_The_Way.txt#@>
We used to south of paradise
That was okay until you put your heart on ice
Walked out the door but you couldn't say goodbye
Hide away and left me lonely
When I asked you why
You wouldn't be precise
Now it's my turn, start taking my advice
It's not the way that you love me
It's not the way that you care
Running down long back alleys
Pouting like a spoiled child
You've been acting so crazy, driving me wild
Your heart is like an elevator
You tell me that's just human nature
I've done all I can, I can't seem to change you
It's not the way that you love me
It's not the way that you care
Oh no, it's not the way
Oh no, it's not the way
Listen mister to what I say
Oh no, it's not the way
Your love is like a nasty habit
I finally got control but I just can't take it
I tried to be cool but I just can't make it
Your heart is like an elevator
You tell me that it's just human nature
I've done all I can, but just can't change you
Oh no, it's not the way
Oh no, it's not the way
Listen mister to what I say
Oh no, it's not the way
Oh no, it's not the way
Listen mister to what I say
Oh no, it's not the way
Love is tough, love is tender
Love will make your heart surrender
Love is sweet, love is kind
Love will always blow your mind
It's not the way that you love me
It's not the way that you care
Oh no, it's not the way
Oh no, it's not the way
Listen mister to what I say
Oh no, it's not the way
Oh no, it's not the way
Listen mister to what I say
Oh no, it's not the way
Oh no, it's not the way
Listen mister to what I say
Oh no, it's not the way
Oh no, it's not the way
Listen mister to what I say.
<@#Donna_Summer_Jeremy.txt#@>
Sitting by an open door
With rain dropping in my face
Then lightning strikes
Across the room
I fall in your embrace
It was a lovely rendezvous
Better than anyone ever know
A gentle face a fiery heart
With nothing to conceal
That's what it takes to hold me down
A man with grand appeal
Oh while I draw you to my soul
I feel the fire of love taking control
Jeremy
When I think of you
The good times that we have
The melody
Sings out to me
My heart at your command
Jeremy
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby
Oohh...
You're the only one who can
Silent nights are lonely nights
Wherever we're apart
And every moment you're away
I hide you in my heart
Oh while I draw you to my soul
I feel the fire of love taking control
Jeremy
When I think of you
The good times that we have
The melody
Sings out to me
My heart at your command
Jeremy
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby
Oooh...
You're the only one who can
Jeremy you see
That we are two of a kind
We could stay together baby
For all time
We can live without each other
But it wouldn't be the same
'cause I am you and you are me
It's never gonna change
Jeremy
When I think of you
The good times that we have
The melody
Sings out to me
My heart at your command
Jeremy
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby
Oooh...
Jeremy
Jeremy oh baby. oh baby..

Looking up, again
I'm coming back to life
I'm coming back to life
Looking up, to you
If was really up to you
You had to pull me through
Looking up
Looking up, a change is
Coming over me
I know now that I'm free
Looking up, I find
I'm walking tall and proud
And happy all the time
Looking up
I'm looking up
Looking up
I see my troubles far behind
Looking up
(I'm looking up)
Looking up
I feel I'm rising to the top
Looking up
Looking up, a change is
Coming over me

Looking up
Someone that understands
Is there until the end
To hold the light for me
The light that help me see
And in my darkest hours
Will come with sunny showers
To help me to forget
Oh I so glad we met
And since that rainy day
The clouds just stay away
You chase them with your love
The greatest love I've known
'cause in the darkest hour
You come with sunny showers
My life is your today
Don't ever go away
Looking up
I'm looking up
I see my trouble far behind
Looking up
(I'm looking up)
Looking up
I feel I'm rising to the top...

You're one of a kind

Well you're one of a kind

Right from the start
You tore me apart
You took the best part of my heart

You stole the best part of my heart

You've got magic
I know you're one of a kind
Baby you're static

<@#Donna_Summer_Slide_Over_Backwards.txt#@>
Oh Lord
Ride over backwards
Ride over backwards
Ride over backwards
Ride over backwards
I was just a little girl
A-making my own way
16 years or more I had
Nothing left to say
I raised myself up almost
Lived on po'boys too
New Orleans ain't a place to live
If you never been to school
And I said
Ride over backwards
Slide over backwards
Ride over backwards
Let me ride
People gotta tell you
Slide over backwards
Slide over backwards
Ride over backwards
Let me ride
Daddy was a working man
He worked since he was 5
He dropped his wings on my train one day
And never learned to fly
I wonder what it takes to be
Someone who knows why
The earth ain't round
Unless you can
Teach yourself to fly
And I said
Ride over backwards
Slide over backwards
Slide over backwards
Let me ride
People gotta tell you
Slide over backwards
Slide over backwards
(Sometimes you gotta be free)
Slide over backwards
Let me ride
Some days in a lifetime you gotta be strong
Some days in lifetime you gotta be brave
Dig on your knees sometimes
Sometimes you even gotta pray
Lord what it is what it is
Sometimes I feel like I'm going down, going down
Going down for the very last time
Oh don't know what it is, don't know what it is
Sometimes I feel like going down
Deep in my heart I pray
Ride over backwards
<@#Donna_Summer_Stop_Me.txt#@>
I was weak and I was blind
You know I never ever wanted to put
Our love on the light
You were right, and I was wrong
I should have listened to the words
You said
But I was too headstrong
So if you've heard this all before
Don't let me carry on no more
Stop me, stop me if you think you've
Heard this one, this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've
Heard this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've
Heard this one, this one
Stop me, stop me, stop me
You said I lied, you said I cried
But I had to say something fast in case
You threw me aside
I didn't know, I couldn't guess
If I only would have known I never
Would have been in this mess
But if you've heard this all before
Don't let me carry on no more
Stop me, stop me if you think you've
Heard this one, this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've
Heard this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've
Heard this one, this one
Stop me, stop me, stop me
But if you've heard this all before
Don't let me carry on no more
Stop me, stop me if you think you've
Heard this one, this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've
Heard this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've
Heard this one, this one
Stop me if you think you've
Heard this one, this one
Stop me if you think you've

Father dear, don't you hear me
I'm alone, and I can't sleep from crying
Father dear, well if you hear me
I've been held closely by a stranger
Sweet romance
The moment that my eyes first saw him
In a glance
I knew right from the start that I adored him
Sweet romance
I may never see the man again, so help me find him
So help me find him
Listen, if you find him
Won't you tell him just how much I love him
Father, I've only got you
Please, won't you make him love me too
Sweet romance
The moment that my eyes first saw him
In a glance
I knew right from the start that I adored him
Sweet romance
I may never see the man again, so help me find him
So help me find him
Oh, oh, oh
Sweet, sweet
Sweet romance
The moment that my eyes first saw him
In a glance
I knew right from the start that I adored him
Sweet romance
I may never see the man again, so help me find him
So help me find him
Father, hear me calling
You're the only one I can turn to
My life has been so empty
And he could fill my emptiness too
Sweet romance
The moment that my eyes first saw him
In a glance
I knew right from the start that I adored him
Sweet romance
I may never see the man again, so help me find him
Help me, help me
<@#Donna_Summer_The_Man_I_Love.txt#@>
[Spoken:]
I just wanna say this
This is something I thing most of you ladies will identify with
And maybe some of you men too
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be rich and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And maybe for awhile
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
[Spoken:]
You know I'm the kind of lady
That always seems to find the wrong man
At the wrong place at the wrong time
It's not that I go out looking for him
But somehow he always seems to find me
You see what I'm looking for is the kind of man
That comes home with candy
And flowers sayin' "come on put on your dancing shoes
Cause we're gonna wine and dine, wine and dine"
But what I always seem to find is the kind of man
That comes home fussing
And fighting, breaking my best dishes
And beat my head outside the wall
Shows no love no respect and nothing at all
<@#Donna_Summer_There_Will_Always_Be_A_You.txt#@>
Like the stars that shine above
In a warn and wind tossed love
Just like tears that fall forever
Like the raven and the dove
Looking for a perfect love
After rainy, stormy weather
I am yours and you are mine
Till the stars fall from my eyes
There will always be a you
A ship sailing without end
A lost, tired, worm down friend
And old broken run down shoe
I keep running back for more,
At least you thought I would be sure
But I gave up, I broke it's true
Still there will always be a you
Don't ask me how
I tried so long
And in my heart I know
I will never go away
If you wanted me to stay
Well in a million years
I wouldn't go
Cause I love you so
Yes I do
I love you so
I could never leave you
I love you
Don't go away
Don't go away
There will always be a you
A ship sailing without end
A lost tired, worm down friend
And old broken run down shore
I keep running back for more
At least you thought I would be sure
But I give up, I broke it's true
Still there will always be a you
I am yours and you are mine
Till the stars fall from my eyes
There will always be a you
I will never go away
If you wanted me to stay
Well in a million years
I wouldn't go
Cause I love you so
Yes I do
I love you so
I could never leave you
I love you
I love you
Don't go away
Can't go away
There will always be a you
At night I cry
Can't find a reason
I'm left alone
Can't seem to understand
At night I cry
Can't find a reason
I'm left alone
Can't seem to understand
There will always be a you
There will always be a you

<@#Donna_Summer_Tokyo.txt#@>
Met this stranger there, so I was
Feeling somewhat scared
When I vacationed in a land that I
Didn't know that well
But all the ladies there were nice
The gentlemen politely out of line
I kept on thinking how I'd like
To spend some time
I couldn't make up my mind, still
Waitin' for the right sign
I was down in Tokyo
Livin' in hotel Imperial
Met this man, he was something
Very strange
Said he was a spy from somewhere
Else way far away
He told me things about myself that
I could tell nobody else
Passed this message on to me, said
Spirits move in secrecy
I could almost read the man's mind
Waitin' for the right sign
I really wanna know if I'm gonna go
Live my life in Tokyo, live my life in
Tokyo
Tokyo, live my life in Tokyo
He passed this message on to me
Said spirits move in secrecy
A double agent amnesty
An Ian Fleming mystery
I, I know I read the man's mind
I know I got the right sign
I really wanna know if I'm gonna go
Live my life in Tokyo, live my life in
Tokyo
Tokyo, live my life in Tokyo
Live my life in Tokyo, live my life in
Tokyo
Tokyo, live my life in Tokyo
<@#Donna_Summer_True_Love_Survives.txt#@>
On big alley stands a lady waiting
For awhile
Acting out an untold story like a
Wounded child
But the mystery of the circumstance
Won't hide
She believes true love survives
True love survives
Waiting for her long lost lover
Returning from the war
Though I know she knew the truth
She also knew much more
And the answer that she gave to all of us
Whispered low saying
True love survives
True love survives
Is she dreaming does she know
A secret I can't see
Maybe there's a trace of truth
In all that she believes
For one day I took a look deep down inside
A voice cried saying true love's alive
True love survives
Only love will last forever true love will survive
Only love will last forever true love will survive
True is love is never-ending
It's giving all and not pretending
It's holding on although your heart
Feels dead
A quarter of a century of years
Have gone by
Still the dream of this peculiar
Lady's kept alive
So I'm holding tight to one who I desired
A burning fire saying true love survives
True love survives
Only love will last forever
Only love will last forever

Hey, hey, honey, what's on your mind
Well, you said that sleepin' with a poor band's not your style
Ain't that just a little unkind
Hey, Marlon Brando, what would you do in a spot like this
I don't play as your pawn tonight
Doin' the New York Hustle with a hundred dollar miss
Summer night in the city
New York girls they always make you feel so fine
There's music, and I can always hear it playin'
New York Nights and there's music in the streets
A doin' the Eighth Avenue Shuffle on a Friday afternoon
With the hum of a thousand engines
Singin' that old familiar tune
And now yakety yak and don't talk back
When a guy lay me down with my Pontiac
Tell those high school queens of mine that the
Prom was for your monkey shine
Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City
New York girls are oh, so pretty
Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City
New York girls make you feel so fine
Try 'n' a catch a cab in New York City

Another night, another town
I'm out on the road and ther's no one around
And it's rainin', yeah, it's rainin'
Silence is all around
It's cold and lonely, oh darlin', if only I could feel it
Oh, can you feel it
Eighth Avenue Shuffle on a Friday afternoon
With the hum of a thousand engines
Singin' that old familiar tune
Hey, Marlon Brando, do you agree it feels so fine
Doin' the New York Hustle
These girls are doin' the monkey shine
Summer night in the city
New York girls they always make you feel so fine
There's music, and I can always hear it playin'

Give me the Beat Boys to free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll and drift away
Oh.. Give me the Beat Boys to free my soul

To carry me through... Oh...
Give me the Beat Boys to free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll and drift away
Yeah!.. Give me the Beat Boys to free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n roll and drift away
When my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
When I'm feeling blue
The guitar is coming through to soothe me...
Thanks for the joy that your giving me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rythem and Rhyme and Harmony
You've helped me along
Making me strong.... Oh!...

I didn't stand a chance
I heard a voice within
With just a passing glance
You made the walls cave in
You were gone baby, without a word
I got the message loud and clear
Couldn't help but hear
As you were walkin' away
It was somethin' you said
Now I wake up in the night
Strange things in my head
Oh, you did it with your eyes
It must'a been something
Must'a been something you said
So say it again
I'm just delirious
Caught in a waking dream
Did you mean what you said
An' did you say what you mean
Mere words, fade away
You had a language I couldn't miss
It was on your lips, but
You didn't get me that way
It was something you said
Now I wake up in the night
Strange things in my head
Oh, you did it with your eyes
It must'a been something
Must'a been something you said
So say it again
In the middle of the night
All alone in my bed
It was nothin' you could write
It must'a been something
Must'a been something you said
<@#Doobie_Brothers_Texas_Lullaby.txt#@>
Sittin' by myself in the summertime, when the heat is burnin' down
Watchin' the golden crops in the field just growin' without a sound
I was a boy raised in the country and it's still a part of me
And you see no matter where I go it's a beautiful memory
Rise with sun at the break of day, lookin' out my window
It's the same as yesterday
Sittin' under an old oak tree, pickin' my guitar in the shade
That old tree spreadin' over my head is the closest friend I made
Just me and some lonely wooden music, floatin' through air
The grass is rustlin' and the birds are singin' and my heart don't have a care
Still another day finds me in the fields, sweat is soakin' up my ragged
clothes
But I'd rather work than steal
Watchin' the sun settle down over open Texas land, looking at the cattle and
the horses runnin' wild as they can
Life was different in the old days, you just get a day's work done
When you were finished workin' in the fields, there was chores at home to be
done
I was always hearin' music, always wanna play me some
As a full-time friend or the way to ease the end of a woman that swayed me
some
Hearin' those tunes always had a way of soothin' out my soul
When times got hard and work got slow it was music that kept me whole
Sun beatin' down through the trees, gets so hot bring a workin' man to his
knees
Part of my heart, part of my soul, part of a melody
Hands are clappin' and people swayin' in simple harmony
Life was different in the old days, you just get a day's work done
When you finished workin' in the fields there was chores at home to be done
Late in the evenin' on the front porch when the sun is settin' in the west
Me and the boys pass around the bottle and sing what we like best
Sing about our wives, sing about our children, singin' out the Delta blues
We're simple folks and we like it that way, got nothin' left to lose
<@#Doobie_Brothers_Ukiah.txt#@>
People rushin' everywhere
If they'd only slow down once
They might find something there
Green trees and timber land
People workin' with their hands
For sure a different way to live
Gonna keep my cabin at hand
Retreat and live off the land
All around Ukiah, wo
The mountain streams that rush on by
Show the fish a jumpin'
And reflect the open sky
The fresh clean smell of the pines
Symbol of unchanging times
All around this sacred land
Strangely, though, I've found my way
Right here I'm gonna stay
In this land Ukiah, wo
<@#Doobie_Brothers_What_A_Fool_Believes.txt#@>
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Trying hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
[Chorus]
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return
[Chorus]
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees
<@#Doobie_Brothers_Without_You.txt#@>
I get a feelin', lost without you baby
Livin' alone is drivin' me crazy
Don't you know
I got nowhere to go
You should be the one that's hurtin'
You got everything you need
Back in the days when love was so easy
I was fancy free and laughin' with no reason
Things have changed
Your touch has grown strange
I can't help myself
I know that you have left me dyin' here
Baby, baby
I can't live without you
Baby, baby
I can't live without you no more
Baby, baby
I can't live without you
I feel you know it, huh
Oh, baby, now I'm lost without my baby
Oh, baby, baby, babe, don't you hear right now
<@#Doobie_Brothers_You_Belong_To_Me.txt#@>
Why'd you tell me this
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know I'll always be the one
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own
You belong to me
In this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes and I can tell
You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me
You belong to me
Tell him he's a stranger
You belong to me

Who are you

How'd you come into my life
I just know once you get started
Girl, I been throwin' my heart in
You're just like walkin' in a danger zone
A chance I just had to take
You're like a drink I needed so bad and found
If no one pulled my head back in time, I would drown
Oh, I get lost in your eyes
I crossed the line for you so long ago
Now I find truth in your lies
You got me cornered with my back to the wall
Takes all I've got just to hold on
Through all the disappointment
Love still remains
Darling, you're made that way
Girl, you're made that way
"You were just a lonely man
Living through your empty plans"
I know you're made that way
I know you're made that way
Say it please
Say you will
Come back and be in my life
Girl, if you just put your heart in it
No one could stop us once we get started
Well, I get tired of living for your applause
And putting my happiness in your hands
Well, I don't know what you're expecting of me
What you want for me to be, I will be
I know you're made that way

Gently they stir, gently rise
The dead are newborn awakening
With ravaged limbs and wet souls
Gently they sigh in rapt funeral amazement
Who called these dead to dance?
Was it the young woman learning to play the ghost song on her baby grand?
Was it the wilderness children?
Was it the ghost god himself, stuttering, cheering, chatting blindly?
I called you up to anoint the earth
I called you to announce sadness falling like burned skin
I called you to wish you well
To glory in self like a new monster
And now I call you to pray

Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run

House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me
Let's run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, not goin' very far
To the East to meet the Czar
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
Whoa!
Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl, we're almost home
Ya, c'mon!
We should see the gates by mornin'
We should be inside the evenin'

Well I used to know someone fair
She had orange ribbons in her hair
She was such a trip
She was hardly there
But I loved her
Just the same
There was rain in our window
The FM set was ragged
But she could talk, yeah
We learned to speak
And one year
Has gone by
Such a long long road to seek it
All we did was break and freak it
We had all
That lovers ever had
We just blew it
And I'm not sad
Well I'm mad
And I'm bad
And two years
Have gone by
Now her world was bright orange
And the fire glowed
And her friend had a baby
And she lived with us
Yeah, we broke through the window
Yeah, we knocked on the door
Her phone would not answer
Yeah, but she's still home
Now her father has passed over
And her sister is a star
And her mother smokes diamonds
And she sleeps out in the car
Yeah, but she remembers Chicago
The musicians and guitars
And grass by the lake
And people who laugh'd
And made her poor heart ache
Now we live down in the valley
We work out on the farm
We climb up to the mountains
And everything's fine
And I'm still here
And you're still there
And we're still around

I walked down the street like a good girl should
He followed me down the street like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen and I'll tell you what this fella did to me
I walked to my house like a good girl should
He followed me to my house like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen while I tell you what this fella did to me
I never saw the boy before
So nothin' could be sillier
At closer range his face was strange
But his manner was familiar
So I walked up the stairs like a good girl should
He followed me up the stairs like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen and I'll tell you what this fella did to me
I stepped to my door like a good girl should
He stopped at my door like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
So listen while I tell you what this fella did to me
He asked me for a good-night kiss
I said, "It's still good day"
I would have told him more except
His lips got in the way
So I talked to my ma like a good girl should
And Ma talked to Pa like I knew she would
And they all agreed on a married life for me
The guy is my guy wherever he may be
So I walked down the aisle like a good girl should
He followed me down the aisle like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy wherever he may be
And now you've heard the story of what someone did to me
And that's what he did to me

Somehow, someway, our two worlds will be one
And heaven forever and ever we will be
Oh see, please say you'll stay Oh Sandy.
Oh sandy, you hurt me real bad, call me back, 'coz baby you gotta believe me

From the snow-capped mountains to the coral shores
You're the only one my heart adores
You've only got three competitors
Tacos, enchiladas and beans
From the Mississippi to the Amazon
There's not much we don't agree upon
Wish we could get together on
Tacos, enchiladas and beans
Love 'em, dozens of 'em
I consume them by the score
And when I'm through, what do I do
I stamp and holler for more
You can have the fourth position on my list
Must admit your kisses would be missed
But how in the world could I exist
Without tacos, enchiladas and beans
(Repeat from the top)
They make me kind of sick
But I love them

I'm so fucking dumb I wrote "diamonds" on my thumbs,
It's a diamond on my dick so that's a diamond on her tongue,
I can't feel you baby 'cause I'm romantically numb,
Emotionally drained I came here just so I can come,
There's nothing on the God's sun that I haven't done,
I got a lot of problems gettin pussy just isn't one,
Girls are like buses every 15 mins they run,
Now they like potato chips I just cannot have one,
And I might like you for a minute,
But I don't like your friends in my business,
And I feel like you don't deserve a visit,
Cause you ain't in the kitchen when you want a whipping,

Uh uhhhhhhh,

I know you say you love me girl,
Problem is you prolly tell that shit to everybody,
So we hear you talking boo but we just don't believe you,

Uh, ok I'm all about it, all for it,

No hesitation so I'm shooting if I draw for it,
How, How? Fuck is up, now man I'm in this hoe,
Life is moving fast, where the fuck do all these minutes go,
Mixtape dropped then I started getting 10 a show,
Now I get a hundred what the fuck you think I'm in it for,
Young money forever, I bet Gudda, Jae and Mack agree,
Fuck you to the haters that just spend their time attacking me,
Shout out to your girlfriend nigga lately she distracting me,
Wondering if I'm the best, Will I. Am, no Black Eyed Peas,
Girls wanna fuck ya niggas, guy don't wanna be you,
Lining up around the block so that they can get to see you,
I feel like I'll find a wife exactly when I need to,
You can say whatever girl but we just don't believe you,

Uh uhhhhhhh,
I know you say you love me girl,
I know you say you love me girl,
Problem is you prolly tell that shit to everybody,

Went from my nigga serving it by the tele
To venues in Manchester just swerving with Balotelli
The fuck are you trying to tell me?
Bothers me when you got to play therapist
That shit's embarrassin'
They even bring up these niggas make the comparison
They just got to forgive me, this watch is a 150
Still ain't got the time for a bitch to be acting iffy
Running through the city with niggas I'd give a kidney
Selling under 150 you niggas gotta be kidding
Is this even still a discussion?
Don't you ever wake up disgusted?
Every million I gain an enemy or a cousin
And people's feelings have changed ever since I became somethin'
Girls that becoming ladies
And my friends are having babies
And babies are dropping dead in my city
This shit is crazy
And I don't know if speaking on it helps
This the shit that's on my mind I just keep it to myself
You know
Can't you talk to me
Lets talk about it, talk about it
Tell me what you need
Just tell me baby, tell me baby

Admitted it to me the first time we dated
But she was no angel, and we never waited
I took her for sushi, she wanted to fuck
So we took it to go, told them don't even plate it
And we never talk too much after I blew up
Just only 'hello' or 'happy belated'
And I think I text her and told her I made it
And that's when she text me and told me she prayed it
And that's when I text her and told her I love it
And right after texting, told her I'm faded
She asked
What have I learned since getting richer
I learned working with the negatives could make for better pictures
I learned hennessy and enemies is one hell of a mixture
Even though it's fucked up, girl, I'm still fucking wit ya
Damn, is it the fall
Time for me to revisit the past
It's women to call
There's albums to drop, there's liquor involved
There's stories to tell, we been through it all
Interviews are like confessions
Get the fuck up out my dressing room, confusing me with questions
Like:
[Bridge: lil wayne]
Do you love this shit?
Are you high right now?
Do you ever get nervous?
Are you single?
I heard you fucked your girl, is it true?
You getting money? You think them niggas you with is wit' you?
And I say
(And I say) hell yeah
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Fuckin' right
Fuckin' right, all right
(And we say) hell yeah
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Fuckin' right
Fuckin' right, all right
[Lil wayne]
So much for being optimistic
They say love is in the air, so I
Hold my breath until my face turn purple
Keep a few bad bitches in my circle
My nuts hang like ain't no curfew
Bitch if you wave, then I will surf you
I flew jet, she flew commercial
But we still met, later that night
After my session, she came over
I was aggressive, and she was sober
I gave her pills
She started confessing and started undressing
And ask me to hold her
And so I did, but that was last month
And now she's texting me, asking for closure
Damn
She say this shit gon' catch up to me
I keep tissue paper
We eat each other whenever we at the dinner table
She say she hate that she love me
And she wish I was average
Shit, sometimes I wish the same
And I wish she wasn't married
Promises, I hope I never break 'em
Met a female dragon, had a fire conversation but
Interviews are like confessions
Get the fuck up out my bedroom confusing me with questions like
[Bridge:]
Do you love this shit?
Are you high right now?
Do you ever get nervous?
Are you single?
I heard you fucked your girl, is it true?
You getting money? You think them niggas you with is wit' you?
[Hook:]
(And I say) hell yeah
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Fuckin' right
Fuckin right, all right
(And we say) hell yeah
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Fuckin' right
Damn right, all right
[Drake]
(And we say) hell yeah
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Fuckin' right
Fuckin' right, all right
(And we say) hell yeah
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Fuckin' right
Damn right, all right
Aw yeah

Jhene:
What's up
Been a minute since we kicked it
You been caught up
With these chicks and I don't get it, you're a star love
You shouldn't have to deal with that
I never make you feel like that
Cause I love me, I love me enough for the both of us
That's why you trust me
You been through more than most of us
So what are you, what are you, what are you so afraid of?
Darlin' you, you give but you cannot take love.
Drake:
I needed to hear that, I hate when you're submissive
Passive aggressive when we're texting, I feel the distance
I look around the peers that surround me, these boys are trippin'
I like when money makes a difference but don't make you different
Started realizin' a couple places I could take it
I want to get back to when I was that kid in the basement
I want to take it deeper than money, vacation
And influence a generation that's lackin' in patience
I've been dealin' with my dad, speakin' of lack of patience
Just me and my old man gettin' back to basics
We've been talkin' 'bout the future and time that we wasted
When he put that bottle down, girl that man is amazin'
Well, we had a couple Coronas
We might have rolled a white paper, just somethin' to hold us
We even talked about you in our couple of moments
He said we should hash it out like a couple of grown ups
You a flower child, beautiful child, I'm in your zone
Lookin' like you came from the 70's on your own
My mother is 66 and her favorite line to hit me with is
Who the fuck wants to be 70 and alone?
You don't even know what you want from love anymore
I search for somethin' I'm missin', it disappear when I'm bored
But girl, what qualities was I lookin' for before?
Who you settlin' for? Who better for you than the boy, huh?
Jhene:
I love me, I love me enough for the both of us
Drake:
I love me enough for the both of us
Jhene:
That's why you trust me
I know you been through more than most of us
Drake:
Talk to me baby
Jhene:
So what are you, what are you, what are you so afraid of?
Drake:
What are you so afraid of?
Jhene:
Darlin' you, you give but you cannot take love.
Drake:
Give but you cannot take love.
Jhene:
You cannot take love
Drake:
You need you some of this Drake love
Jhene:
None of that fake love
Drake:
Turn on to commercial break love
So that we can make love

[Intro: Baka]
Man don't live of a di hype huh?
Real ting ay
[Verse 1: Drake]
Yeah, I pull up in Lexus' like it's '07
I just hit a lick, I got to hit a next one
Last year I know you learned your lesson
I could GPS you if you need addressin'
Boss up, I'm the bigger homie
But I'm one year older than my lil homie
'09 they was biddin' on me
But I'm Young Money, got it written on me
Ok now we got some action
Everything I said, it happened
That boy light as Michael Jackson
But off verses, he been blackin'
Chasin' women a distraction
They wan' be on TV right next to me
You cannot be here right next to me
Don't you see Riri right next to me?
I hate a rapper especially
They feel the same, but they hide it
They just discuss it in private
Don't get along man, we tried it
What's the point in even tryin'?
I hate a goofy especially
They always dyin' to mention me
They gotta die out eventually
I cannot give you the recipe
You know the game is sold separately
Swear I just had an epiphany
It cost me 50 at Tiffany's
Shout out to Tiffany, Stephanie
They used to always come check for me
My enemies wanna be friends with my other enemies
I don't let it get to me
[Hook: Drake]
Done
Look what I've done in my life
I had to count it and count it again
To make sure the money was right
They love to talk
Me, I'm just dunning the hype
Me, I'm just dunning the hype
Me I'm just done, done, done, done, done
[Verse 2: Drake]
I don't take this shit for granted
I do my own propaganda
I feel like Juelz Santana
Leg hangin' out the Phantom
6 cold like Alaska
Views already a classic
Roy outta here like NASA
Bustin' 1's out the plastic
Her gram too poppin' to fuck her
The chain too heavy to tuck it, I'm serious
I feed my family with this
So don't play with my money this summer, I'm serious
I don't run out of material
You shouldn't speak on me, period
You try to give 'em your side of the story
They heard it, but they wasn't hearin' it
They feeling a way and won't hide it
Niggas done being silent
Don't get along man, we tried it
What's the point of even tryin'?
I hate a goofy especially
They always dyin' to mention me
They gotta go, they gotta go
They gonna die out eventually
I cannot give 'em no empathy
I'ma have B's when I'm 70
They cannot fuck with the legacy
I don't know what else is left for me
After this no one a threat to me
My enemies wanna be friends with my other enemies
I don't let it get to me
[Hook: Drake]
Done
Look what I've done in my life
I had to count it and count it again
To make sure the money was right
They love to talk
Me, I'm just done in the hype
Me, I'm just done in the hype
Me I'm just done, done, done, done, done

I ain't rockin' my jewelry that's on purpose
Niggas want my spot and don't deserve it
I don't like how serious they take themselves
I've always been me I guess I know myself
Shakiness man I don't have no time for that
My city too turnt up I'll take the fine for that
This been where you find me at
That's been where you find me at
I know a nigga named Johnny Bling
He put me on to the finer things
Had a job sellin' Girbraud jeans
I had a yellow TechnoMarine
Then Kanye dropped, it was polos and backpacks
That's when Ethan was pushin' a Subaru hatchback
Man I'm talkin' way before hashtags

Yeah but you know how that shit go
They so irrational, they don't wanna patch it up
They wanna mash it up, woah
My nigga [?] he whip it I ride in the passenger
I'm way up, I stay up, I'm two up, I'm three up

[Verse 1:]
Uh, when did you get like this
Least you coulda done is gone an give me a warning
I don't regret like this
So I'll be right there when you wake up in the morning
Saying, this just ain't my style
You can't say you're happy either
You don't even smile, for me
[Chorus:]
Did you agree, we should let it be
And did you agree, it's a must,
Let's call the whole thing off
We used to had enough of us
Let's call the whole thing off
We used to had enough of us
[Verse 2:]
When you decided to knock on my door
Did you remember what happened before
The look on your face said you were expecting more
But some things look better inside of the store
[Chorus:]
Did you agree, we should let it be
And did you agree, it's a must,
Let's call the whole thing off
We used to had enough of us
Let's call the whole thing off
We used to had enough of us
[Verse 3:]
Leave me, leave me, I can't fkn stand you
Wish I had the courage to say everything I planned to
My girlfriend, my girlfriend, call herself my girlfriend
Tell me that we posed to be together til the world end
But, ion really feel that
I just really wanna turn the wheels back
Give you all ya sweaters and ya heels back
Convince you that time will heal that
Uh, you look for reasons for us to argue
I swear everytime I call
You jus tell me how I don't call you
Why you do that... Do that... Do that
Yeah
[Chorus:]
Did you agree, we should let it be
And did you agree, it's a must,
Let's call the whole thing off
We used to had enough of us

Baby I like your style
[Verse 1: Justin Bieber]
Lips on your neck
We're never too close now
Nothing like you and me
I don't know your name
But I'm sure that you know me
A little life with the music
The feeling is mutual
Loving the way you move on me
Skin so soft, hands on my face to be directed
And you're all that I can see
You give the baddest one in here a run for their money
And when this song comes on, you know
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
I need a one dance
1942 in my hand
One more time 'fore I go
Body lockin', put a hold on me
I need a one dance
1942 in my hand
One more time 'fore I go
Body lockin', put a hold on me
[Verse 2: Justin Bieber]
You know, I like that you're wild
So make your way over here right now
We only got a little while
Just thinkin' out loud
Celebrate life with me babe
Don't be in a rush to go now
Oh girl
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
I need a one dance
1942 in my hand
One more time 'fore I go
Body lockin', put a hold on me
I need a one dance
1942 in my hand
One more time 'fore I go
Body lockin', put a hold on me

Hold on me

<@#Drake_Over.txt#@>
I know way too many people here right now
That I didn't know last year, who the fuck are y'all?
I swear it feels like the last few nights
We been everywhere and back
But I just can't remember it all
What am I doin'? What am I doin'?
Oh, yeah, that's right, I'm doin' me
I'm doin' me
I'm livin' life right now, mayne
And this what I'm a do 'til it's over
'Til it's over
But it's far from over
Bottles on me, long as someone drink it
Never drop the ball, fuck are y'all thinkin'?
Makin' sure the Young Money ship is never sinkin'
'Bout to set it off, in this bitch, Jada Pinkett
I shouldn't've drove, tell me how I'm gettin' home
You too fine to be layin' down in bed alone
I could teach you how to speak my language, Rosetta Stone
I swear this life is like the sweetest thing I've ever known
'Bout to go Thriller Mike Jackson on these niggas
All I need's a fucking red jacket with some zippers
Super good smiddoke, a package of the swishers
I did it overnight, it couldn't happen any quicker
Y'all know them? Well, fuck it, me either
But point the biggest skeptic out, I'll make him a believer
It wouldn't be the first time I done it, throwin' hundreds
When I should be throwin' ones, bitch, I run it (Ah)
I know way too many people here right now
That I didn't know last year, who the fuck are y'all?
I swear it feels like the last few nights
We been everywhere and back
But I just can't remember it all
What am I doin'? What am I doin'?
Oh, yeah, that's right, I'm doin' me
I'm doin' me
I'm livin' life right now, mayne
And this what I'm a do 'til it's over
'Til it's over
But it's far from over
One thing 'bout music, when it hits you feel no pain
And I swear I got that shit that make these bitches go insane
So they tell me that they love me, I know better than that, it's just game
It's just what comes with the fame, and I'm ready for that, I'm just sayin'
But I really can't complain, everything is kosher
Two thumbs up, Ebert and Roeper
I really can't see the end getting any closer
But I probly still be the man when everything is over
So I'm riding through the city with my high beams on
Can you see me? Can you see me? Get your Visine on
Y'all just do not fit the picture, turn your widescreen on
If you thinkin' I'm a quit before I die, dream on
Man, they treat me like a legend, am I really this cold?
I'm really too young to be feelin' this old
It's about time you admit it, who you kiddin', man?
Man, nobody's never done it like I did it (Ugh)
I know way too many people here right now
That I didn't know last year, who the fuck are y'all?
I swear it feels like the last few nights
We been everywhere and back
But I just can't remember it all
What am I doin'? What am I doin'?
Oh, yeah, that's right, I'm doin' me
I'm doin me
I'm livin' life right now, mayne
And this what I'm a do 'til it's over
'Til it's over
But it's far from over
Yeah, that's right, I'm doin' me
I'm doin me
I'm livin' life right now, mayne
And this what I'm a do 'til it's over
'Til it's over
But it's far from over
<@#Drake_Shot_For_Me.txt#@>
I can see it in your eyes, you're angry
Regret got shit on what you're feeling now
Mad cause he ain't like me
Oh you mad cause nobody ever did it like me
All the care I would take, all the love that we made
Now you're trying to find somebody to replace what I gave to you
It's a shame you didn't keep it, Alicia, Katia
I know that you gon' hear this, I'm the man
Yeah I said it, bitch I'm the man
Don't you forget it
The way you walk, that's me
The way you talk, that's me
The way you've got your hair up, did you forget that's me?
And the voice in your speaker right now, that's me
And the voice in your ear, that's me
Can't you see that I made it? Yeah I made it
First I made you who you are, then I made it
And you're wasted with your ladies
Yeah I'm the reason why you always getting faded
[Chorus]
Take a shot for me, ooh
Take a shot for me, ooh
Take a shot for me
A shot for me
A shot for me
Okay look, I'm honest
Girl I can't lie, I miss you
You and the music were the only things that I commit to
I never cheated, for the record, back when I was with you
But you believe in everything but me girl, I don't get you
She says I know you changed, I never see you
Cause you're always busy doing things
I really wish she had a different way of viewing things
I think the city that we're from just kinda ruined things
It's such a small place, not much to do but talk and listen
The men are jealous and the women all in competition
And now your friends telling you stories that you often misinterpret
And taint all the images of your "Mr. Perfect"
I could tell that you been crying all night, drinking all summer
Praying for your happiness, hope that you recover
This is one I know you hated when you heard it
And it's worse because you know that I deserve it
[Chorus]
May your neighbors respect you
Trouble neglect you, angels protect you
And heaven accept you
<@#Drake_Something.txt#@>
Falling too fast
Clearly rules don't apply
Can't believe that I just met you
You got me here
Watching minutes past by
Wondering when to expect you
There you go
Is this a dream
Looking like every picture
That I've seen of you before
I've seen it all before
Now that it's over. I shoulda known better
Then you think this is real and
You could be mine
I should have known better
Slowed it down cause I feel
You needed time
But I kept thinking
This could be something
This could be something
This could be something
This could be
This could be
This could be something
This could be something
This could be something
Maybe it's just nothing at all
But this could be something
This could be something
This could be
This could be
This could be something
This could be something
This could be something
Maybe it's just nothing at all
At all... At all...
Maybe it's just nothing at all
At all... At all...
I guess it's what we make it
I guess it's what we make it
I guess it's what we...

I don't know why they been lying but yo shit is not that inspiring
Bank account statements just look like I'm ready for early retirement
Fuck any nigga that's talkin' that shit just to get a reaction
Fuck going platinum, I looked at my wrist and it's already platinum
I am the kid with the motor mouth
I am the one that you should worry about
I don't know who you're referring to, who is this nigga you heard about?
Someone just talking that bullshit, someone just gave you the run-around
Niggas downplaying the money but that's what you do when the money down
I don't waste time putting money down
I just go straight to who got it and buy it in cash
Pussy so good that you gotta come see me on tour and you gotta fly in first
class
This has been years in the making, it's all for the city
You know I come right every summer, Cash Money Records forever
I'm always big timing, bitch, I came up right under Stunna, you know it
Jealousy in the air tonight, I could tell
I will never understand that but oh well
Been ready, it's real, I don't know about you
She just want to smoke and fuck, I said "Girl, that's all that we do"
Okay, now you're talking my language, now you're talking my language
Now you're talking my language, now you're talking my language
Been ready, it's real, I don't know about you
She just want to smoke and fuck, I said "Girl, that's all that we do"
I'm about to roll one and light it and fuck it man, no one's invited
I got to kill off the weak shit that's got all you niggas excited
I can't even listen, you whylin', I'd much rather sit here in silence
I send all my money to banks in the islands and eat with Italians, I do
People are funny you don't even know about the shit that I been through
I just want some head in a comfortable bed, it could all be so simple
Talking that shit with your back to me, just know it always get back to me
Come get your girl, she been here for three days and she way too attached to
me
Hate when they get too attached to me
I got to get on the bus and get back on the road
Get what I can out the country and then I just get on the jet and go back to
the cold
Can't even drive with the top off
Been workin' so hard on the album I missed the whole summer
I just might bring in some girls from Miami
To heat up the city and that's word to Stunna, you know it
Jealousy in the air tonight, I could tell
I will never understand that but oh well
Been ready, it's real, I don't know about you
She just want to smoke and fuck, I said "Girl, that's all that we do"
Okay, now you're talking my language now you're talking my language
Now you're talking my language, now you're talking my language
Been ready, it's real, I don't know about you
She just want to smoke and fuck, I said "Girl, that's all that we do"
Famous and gangstas
You understand me?
Showtime, headlines
Big time, sunshine, tote nines
Bust mines, flatline, hard grind
High life, stay fly it's jet time
Stunt nigga, every time you see a nigga
Stunt nigga, every time you see a nigga
Stunt nigga, swag on head to feet nigga
Stunt nigga,
I might just bring in some girls from Miami to heat up the city and that's

I can remember when,
In the unity of our five-day sessions
Not even once did we hear the siren song
What kind of imagination
Asleep in some lyrical coma
Who's vain futile memory
Could have been so wrong?
You can make a fortune in lies
You can keep a giant alive
You can ride the red
Until everybody smiles
A trifling euphoria
Was such an untimely religion
Maybe your life can explain
The reason for my indecision
Here is a poor man
The heart of this monster creation
He said we both will be heroes
And I was led into temptation
You can make a fortune in lies
You can keep a giant alive
You can ride the red
Until everybody smiles
Can you show me your gold and your silver?
A hero in frozen water
"For the first time in a long time
Everything was right in my world
And then I woke up"
Now you've made a fortune in lies
And you kept a giant alive
You rode the red
You rode the red
<@#Dream_Theater_Carpe_Diem.txt#@>
I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall ticking away
"Seize the Day"
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around
Hear the sounds
Cherish your life while you're still around
We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there might not be one
The words stuck in my mind
alive from what I've heard
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her fight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked in to the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, "I Love You...Good-bye"

How can this be?
Why is he the chosen one?
Saint gone astray,
With a scepter and a gun.
Learn to believe
In the mighty and the strong.
Come bleed the beast
Follow me it won't be long.
Listen,
When the prophet
Speaks to you.
Killing
In the name of God.
Passion
Twisting
Faith into
Violence.
In the name of God.
Straight is the path,
Leading to your salvation.
Slaying the weak,
Ethnic elimination.
Any day,
We'll all be
Swept away.
You'll be saved
As long as
You obey
Lies,
Tools of the devil
Inside,
Written in Holy
Disguise.
Meant to deceive and
Divide us all.
Listen,
When the prophet
Speaks to you.
Killing
In the name of God.
Passion
Twisting
Faith into
Violence.
In the name of God.
Blurring the lines
Between virtue and sin,
They can't tell
Where God ends,
And mankind begins.
They know no other
Life but this.
From the cradle
They are claimed.
Listen,
When the prophet
Speaks to you.
Killing
In the name of God.
Passion
Twisting
Faith into
Violence.
In the name of God.
Hundreds of believers,
Lured into a doomsday cult.
All would perish
In the name of God.
Self-proclaimed messiah,
Led his servants
To their death.
Eighty murdered
In the name of God.
Forty sons and daughters,
Unconsenting plural wives,
Perversions
In the name of God.
Underground religion,
Turning toward
The mainstream light,
Blind devotion
In the name of God.
Justifying violence,
Citing from the Holy Book,
Teaching hatred
In the name of God.
Listen,
When the prophet
Speaks to you.
Killing
In the name of God.
Passion
Twisting
Faith into
Violence.
In the name of God.
Religious beliefs,
Fanatic obsession,
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?
Unyielding crusade,
Divine revelation,
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?

I never wanted to become someone like him so secure
Content to live each day just like the last
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I'd
Never be someone like him
So many years have passed
Since I proclaimed
My independence
My mission
My aim
And my vision
So secure
Content to live each day like it's my last
It's wonderful to know
That I could be
Something more than what I dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I swear that I'm
Missing out this time
As far as I could tell
There's nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything
Then all I swore
That I would never be was now
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him
A doctor sitting next to me
He asks me how I feel
Not sure I understand his questioning
He says I've been away a while
But thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep
For 30 years
Where have I been?
Eyes open
But not getting through to me
Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away
Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening
A higher dosage he prescribes
But there's no guarantee
I feel it starting to take over me
I tell them not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot
A brief awakening
I feel the relapse
Can't break free
Eyes open
But not getting through to me
Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away
Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening?
Sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound
Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle
Flying off the handle with careful with
That axe Eugene gene the dance machine

Hey hey my my generation's home again
Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound
Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle
Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles from our path
Asking questions
Search for clues
The answer's been right in front of you
Try to break through
Long to connect
Fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath
Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
Carries love through each darkest fire
Tortured Insanity
A smothering hell
Try to escape but to no avail
The calls of admirers
Who claim they adore
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more
Innocent victims of merciless crimes
Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs
Step after step
We try controlling our fate
When we finally start living it has become to late
Trapped inside this Octavarium [Repeat: x4]

We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge
A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began

Can you remember
Remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
Oh and cold
Cold spirits of ice (ice ice)
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning
The echo of a point in time
In distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
Oh and laughing
As the spirits appear
Oh all your life
Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers
Oh oh
I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
Oh
A strand of silver
Hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Oh is aching
With the dead of the night
Precious life
Your tears are lost in falling rain
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers
<@#Dream_Theater_Pull_Me_Under.txt#@>
Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase and then fall again
This world is spinning around me
This world is spinning without me and
Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day
I'll take seven lives for one
And then my only father's son
As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid
This world is spinning around me
The whole world keeps spinning around me and
All life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is to set it right
Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall again
This world is spinning inside me
The whole world is spinning inside me
Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer to my last
Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done
Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is to set it right
Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done
Oh that this too
Too solid flesh
Would melt

Since the new world order
Plagued upon our fears
Spreading accusations
Of radical ideas
The brotherhood of wisdom
Strength and dignity
Its rituals and secrets
Remain a mystery
Beneath the ever watchful eye
The angels of the temple fly
Turn the key walk through the gate
The great ascent to reach a higher state
A rite of passage
The final stage a sacred home
Unlock the door and lay the cornerstone
A rite of passage
Men of wealth and power
Influence and fame
Philosophers and leaders
All members of the trade
Bound by oath honor
Like the rose and cross
An enigmatic union
An esoteric thought
Beneath the ever watchful eye
The angels of the temple fly
Turn the key walk through the gate
The great ascent to reach a higher state
A rite of passage
The final stage a sacred home
Unlock the door and lay the cornerstone
A rite of passage
Turn the key walk through the gate
The great ascent to reach a higher state
A rite of passage
The seven stars the rising sun
A perfect world the new life has begun
A rite of passage

Watching my window I was led like a
Child
As the roadway lamplight's
Misguided my mind through the night
A shadow of limits
We were racing the rain
My hands held the wheel
My eyes tried to hold their place
There must have been a time
When I thought that you were
Watching
It had to be when my senses lost
Control
I thought I'd slipped away
I thought I could still feel us
Moving
It must have been a cloud
No bigger than a man's hand
Every reason I risk my life
To come back to you
Is locked behind your door
You're my immunity
Outside I watched you burn
Heavy hearts were bleeding
A cry for help, a familiar voice
My melting hands streaked the glass
As I walked away
I wondered what had really
Happened
Had I run out of time
Did I push myself too far
As my last step fell
I felt my hands upon the wheel
Had I come back to life
Or did I ever leave at all
In higher lives
We seem to be
Always a moment too late
We're past the time
When we looked on
Now we're
The ones who help to
Set the sun
This time for real
I locked the door behind me
My mind was still a wreck
From what I saw
For when my hands are still
I'll recognize the message
Never again will my senses lose
Control
In higher lives
We seem to be
Always a moment too late
We're past the time
When we looked on
Now we're
The ones who help to
Set the sun

Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?
They say, "Life is too short,"
"The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we've got?
If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend
I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try
If I die tomorrow
I'd be alright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
"Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
If I die tomorrow
I'd be alright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
<@#Dream_Theater_Through_Her_Eyes.txt#@>
She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of a circumstance
Now that I've become aware
And I've exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair
I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes
Just beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate
In loving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had died
I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes
And as her image
Wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
As I lay awake in bed
And I know what it's like
To lose someone you love
And this felt just the same
She wasn't given any choice
Desperation stole her voice
I've been given so much more in life
I've got a son, I've got a wife
I had to suffer one last time
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relive the anguish of my past
To find out who I was at last
The door has opened wide
I'm turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes

I walk where once the grass was green
And mourn the lark that sings no more
What bird could sing whose eyes have seen
Broken blossoms on the field of war?
And as they lie there in the sun
How unimportant now it seems
Just who has lost and who has won
When with them have died so many dreams
They dreamed that endless hate would end
Unceasing fear, one day, would cease
They dreamed that foe would turn to friend
And eternal war would turn to peace
But who can say how many more
Will join these young and hopeful men?
In fields they've never seen before
Far from fields they'll never see again

<@#Dusty_Springfield_I_Only_Wanna_Laugh.txt#@>
Change the mood I'm in
For a little while
Let me see that grin
Let me see you smile
No soulful tales that fret and frown
No woeful wails that get me down
No rights or wrongs
Sing no sad songs for me
I only want to laugh
No time for crying
I only want to laugh
No time for tears
I only want to sing
A song that's happy
That's why I only want to walk a street that's sunny
I only want to see the side that's funny
I'm saving all of my tears until tomorrow
'Cause crying all my tears
Just ain't my style
I'm acting like a clown
But let me be
'Cause even though I know
The joke's on me
I only want to laugh
Only want to laugh
Only want to laugh
I'm saving all of my tears until tomorrow
'Cause crying all my tears
Baby, just ain't my style
I'm acting like a clown
But let me be
'Cause even though the joke's on me, oh
Tell the girls goodbye
'Cause I don't want to cry
Hey
I only want to laugh
Only want to laugh
Only want to laugh

I don't wanna go to the party with you
I don't wanna go to the dance
I don't wanna go anywhere with you
I just wanna stay here and love you
Now that I can be alone with you
I won't throw away the chance
There's no other place like home with you
I just wanna stay here and love you
All through the week
I miss you so
But, now that I've got you
I'm gonna hold you closer and closer and closer
I don't wanna go out walking with you
And now that I am in this trance
I don't even know if I'll talk to you
I just wanna stay here and
I wanna love you, I wanna love you
I just wanna stay here and love you
I wanna stay here and love you
Yes, I wanna stay here and love you
Just wanna stay here and love you, ooh-ho, baby, baby
I wanna stay here and love you
Yes, I wanna stay here and love you

Don't go
There's so much left to tell you
You just don't know how need you
I never said how I cared
Until now that you're leaving
I can't hide what I'm feeling
Please wait, there's so much left to tell you
I never said how I loved you
Oh, can't you stay one more day?
And I'll try to show all of the love
That I used to keep from you
Words alone can't make you love me
But how else am I to say to you
That I know I will always want you?
Help me, I can't stop myself crying
Help me, 'cause I feel like I'm dying
Please can't you stay with me?
'Cause I can't live without you, my love
Words alone can't make you love me
But how else am I to say to you
That I know I will always want you? Oh, oh, oh, oh
So, help me, I can't stop myself crying
Help me 'cause I feel like I'm dying
Please can't you stay with me?
'Cause I can't live without you, my love

I wish Id never loved you
I wish Id never wanted you so much
And never thrilled to your touch
And I would not be lonely and crying
And hurting deep inside
Alone with a need that cant be satisfied
I wish Id never loved you
I wish Id never given you my heart
And watch you tear it all apart
And I would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
And surely my heart would not be broken in two
I saw you with another
I watched you hold her tenderly
And I could see as you kissed her
Youd never come back to me, oh
I wish Id never loved you, mmm
I wish youd never burned me with your kiss
Oh, how can I go on like this?
And I would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
How I wish Id never loved you
And I could see as you kissed her
Youd never come back to me
Oh, I wish Id never loved you
I wish youd never burned me with your kiss
Oh, how can I go on like this?

In the middle of nowhere

What am I to do

Getting nowhere with you
Mmm, where did my heart land
In the middle of nowhere
Where are the dreams I planned
In the middle of nowhere
Listen to me baby
Listen to my plea
I'm in the middle of nowhere
And it's worrying me
Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
If what you say is true
Why can't we be together
Over and over you tell me
I'm all that you're thinking of
Baby you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever
Where does our love lie
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die

Are you going to leave me
Leave my heart astray

So, I'm sure that I love you
Show me how true love is made

The daylight takes you away
So I wait 'til good night
Begins to end the daylight
The daytime, the daybreak
The dawning
Come away, until day
Come away with me my love
Come away, until day
Come away and sing the night

<@#Dusty_Springfield_My_Lagan_Love.txt#@>
(Irish folk song sang by Dusty on her TV show in 1967)
Where Lagan stream sings lullaby
There grows a young man fair
The twilight gleam is in his eye
The night is on his hair
And like a lovesick lenan he
He hath my heart in thrall
No life I owe, no liberty
His love is lord of all
And often when the beetles' horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto his shieling lorn
And thro' the dooring peep
There on the cricket's singing stone
He spears the bird in fire
And hums in sad, sweet undertone
The song of his desire

I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Wandering o'er this world of woe
And there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go

I'm going home, no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beautious fields lie just before me
Where men redeemed their vigil's keep
I'm going home to see my mother

I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

[Verse 1]
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair,
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air.
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light.
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night.
There she stood in the doorway,
I heard the mission bell.
And I was thinking to myself,
This could be Heaven, or this could be Hell.
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way.
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Hotel California,
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place),
Such a lovely face.
Plenty of room at the Hotel California,
Any time of year (any time of year),
You can find it here.
[Verse 2]
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she's got the Mercedes Benz.
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends.
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat,
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.
So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine."
He said "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969."
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Hotel California,
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place),
Such a lovely face.
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California,
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise),
Bring your alibies.
[Outro]
Mirrors on the ceiling, and pink champagne on ice,
And she said "We are all just prisoners here,
Of our own device."
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast,
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast.
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door,
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before.
"Relax", said the nightman, "We are programed to receive."
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
<@#Eagles_Last_Good_Time_In_Town.txt#@>
I like to go out every now and then
I can't wait to do it again
But I haven't had the time
Lately
I like to step out every once in a while
I kind of like to do it in style
I haven't had the time
Lately
Lately I've been stayin' at home
(Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)
Workin' the crosswords, turn off the phone
(Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)
And I dream I'm on vacation
'Cause I like the way that sounds
It's a perfect occupation
For me
I don't mind being by myself
If there's no one else around
It's the last good time in town
Well, I could stand up straight, get a real job
Stay up late with the same old mob
But it hasn't crossed my mind
Lately
Put on a suit, work downtown
Then come up when the sun goes down
No, I haven't had the time
Lately
Lately I've been stayin' at home
(Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)
Closin' the curtains, play jazz on trombone
(Jazz on trombone, jazz on trombone)
And I dream I'm on vacation
No, you won't see me around
It's a perfect situation
For me
I don't mind being by myself
'Cause I know you'll come on down
It's the last good time in town
Lately I've been stayin' at home
(Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)
Workin' the crosswords, turn off the phone
(Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)
And I dream I'm on vacation
'Cause I like the way that sounds
It's a perfect occupation
For me, yes it is
I don't mind being by myself
If you don't see me around
It's the last good time, last good time in town

Hi there, how are 'ya?
It's been a long time
Seems like we've come a long way
My, but we learn so slow
And heroes, they come and they go
And leave us behind as if
We're supposed to know why
Why do we give up our hearts to the past?
And why must we grow up so fast?
And all you wishing well fools with your fortunes
Someone should send you a rose
With love from a friend,
It's nice to hear from you again
And the storybook comes to a close
Gone are the ribbons and bows
Things to remember, places to go
Pretty maids all in a row

Say goodbye to all your pain and sorrow
Say goodbye to all those lonely nights
Say goodbye to all your blue tomorrows
Now you're standing in the light
I know sometimes you feel so helpless
Sometimes you feel like you can't win
Sometimes you feel so isolated
You'll never have to feel that way again
You are not alone
You're not alone
Never thought I'd find the road to freedom
Never thought I'd see you smile again
Never thought I'd have the chance to tell you
That I will always be your friend
You are not alone
You're not alone

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

[Taylor Swift]
I use to think that love was for dreamers,
"Love at first sight" I never believed it,
Had my head on tight, I lived in the real world,
But that was until I met you.
Now everything is changed.
[Ed Sheeran]
Yesterday I was drinking my sorrows away,
On the edge of forever storing my heart away,
On the verge of letting my heart go stray.
And that's when I met you.
And now everything is changed.
[Taylor Swift]
Oh darling,
You look like your soul is lost.
What could've happened to make you feel so low?
Don't let the liquor ease your hurt.
Don't let your heart go cold.
[Ed Sheeran]
Oh darling,
Don't worry, I'll be just fine.
What's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?
If I weren't drinking then I'd be crying,
And I think that's something we both rather miss.
[Both]
But I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles,
You give your all and watch as your heart tumbles
Down and down until you can't feel anymore.
[Ed Sheeran]
That's the thing about love,
That's the reason why I'll never fall again,
It hurts when it's supposed to make you make you feel good.
[Taylor Swift]
Well if that's what love is,
Then I don't ever wanna try it out,
But something tells me I should.
Even though we've only met each other,
We'll work it out together until everything is changed.
Until everything is good.
<@#Ed_Sheeran_Fire_Alarms.txt#@>
The rain won't stop falling,
It's harder than before
This car keeps on stalling,
Pedal to the floor
And what I need to know is if you love me, and I
Really need to know is if you want me when you call
If you want me when you call
We were young and we were foolish
Schoolbooks in our arms
Dodging homework, dodging classes
To set off fire alarms
And what I need to know is if you love me, and I
Really need to know if you need me when you call
If you want me when you call
We are waving our lives away
We are waving our lives away
We are waving our lives away
We are waving our lives away
And what I need to know is if you love me, and I
Really need to know if you need me when you call
And what I need to know is if you love me, and I
Really need to know if you need me when you call
And what I need to know is if you love me, and I
Really need to know if you need me when you call

[Verse 1]
Waking up, midnight November
And just still in my bed
It's kinda rough, cause since I met ya
There's things we've never said
[Pre-Chorus]
So if I go for a little while longer
When I'm home we can talk about the big falls of the road
If you say go, I would stop everything oh
My heart would play the role now
And act like it's never been broke
[Chorus]
Though my soul, oh oh oh
Lately I really need to know
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
Oh my soul, oh oh oh
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
[Verse 2]
It's not enough, to say I want ya
Cause I'll say anything
I'm holding out, to feel without a doubt
I had have just been questioning it
[Pre-Chorus]
If I go for a little while longer
When I'm home we can talk about the big falls of the road
If you say go, I would stop everything oh
My heart would play the role now
And act like it's never been broke
[Chorus]
Though my soul, oh oh oh
Lately I really need to know
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
Oh my soul, oh oh oh
How long, how long, can we be
[Bridge]
All of my bones, they scream I'm right
If you're taking me home to stay the night
Darling my soul would heal
[Outro]
If you say go, I would stop everything oh
My heart would play the wrong
And act like it's never been broke, though my soul
Lately I really need to know
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
Oh my soul, how long
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
How long, how long, can we be touch and go

With a tear in her eye she breathes a sigh
And I can hear my baby say
Well she says honey-honey please don't go
Sittin' on that choo-choo train
Sing a little rockin' rhyme
I visualize my baby
I can almost hear her cry
I try hard not to listen, turn my head away
But each chug-chug of the choo-choo train
I can hear my baby say
Well she said a-honey-honey please don't go

Well the party is through, we said our good-byes
We had a good time, yet there's tears in my eyes
Oh, what can it be, what's the matter with me
You left me half loved
We stood in the dark and you held my hand
Why were you afraid, I can't understand
I wanted your kiss, but it's always like this
You left me half loved
Well you hold me close, everytime we danced
Am I a fool, to think that I had a chance
To hope, you see, I'm your big romance
Baby that's why I'm in the dark
Oh-oh-oh-oh, my friends have all said
To love you is wrong
They say you're too young, but I'll string along
Someday you'll wake up and then I'll make up
For bein' half loved
<@#Eddie_Cochran_I_Cant_Wait.txt#@>
I'm a-waitin' around, nothin' to do
Lookin' at your picture, thinkin' of you
Spinnin' like wheels, waitin' for a date
Wonderin' how I'll make it till tonight at eight
'Cause I can't wait, till I get you in my arms tonight
I can't wait, till you tell me that my kiss is right
I can't wait, 'cause I need your love so bad
You're the livin' end, you're the golden rule
I been a-diggin' your style, it's nothin' but cool
I'm a twiddlin' my thumbs, blowin' my top
Baby you're the only one can make me stop
'Cause I can't wait, till I get you in my arms tonight
I can't wait, till you tell me that my kiss is right
I can't wait, 'cause I need your love so bad
The clock's strikin' five, three hours to go
I wonder if you're home, I'd sure like to know
I'm nervous as a cat, lookin' for a mouse
Maybe I'll see you if I walk by your house
'Cause I can't wait, till I get you in my arms tonight
I can't wait, till you tell me that my kiss is right

And with nobody now to call your own

Oh it happened to me, yeah-yeah baby
Well did your baby, yeah make you cry
And did you cry now, till you thought you would die
Well I know the feelin', I got the feelin'
It happened to me (I'm gonna tell you 'bout it too)
Did you ever, oh have the blues
Say right from your hair child, to the bottom of your shoes
Because you know now, down deep in your soul
Hey that your baby don't love you no more, oh-oh-oh
Would you crawl on your hands and knees
And would you beg her, oh come back please
Well I know the feelin', baby I got the feelin'
It happened to me (Oh talk to me baby)

Oh I swear by the stars above
And if my prayers are answered, you are my only love
Oh-oh, you mean everything to me, it's heaven, heaven
All I want our love to be is heaven, heaven
Our kind is the best in anyway, and it leaves us soon apart
But absence makes me wonder of you, here in my heart, oh-oh
You mean everything to me, it's heaven, heaven, heaven

Jelly bean, jelly bean
Well that's the name we picked for you
And it fits you to-a-t
And now I tell you why it's true
Cause you're sweet 'n' swell 'n' round
And a-pretty to the pound, jelly bean
There's a guy who lives in our block
His name is curly carr
Each night he comes around the street
Packin' his guitar
Stops at jelly bean's house
That pretty little thing
Bows his head and bends his knees
You oughta hear him sing
Jelly bean comes to the window
And she listens for a while
Never even blinks her eye, always in a smile
Tosses up her pretty curls and turns to go
Packs his guitar on more time
And sings his tale of woe

I wanna leave a lot of happy women
A-thinkin' pretty thoughts of me
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory
I got a hot-rod car and a cowboy suit
And I really do get around
I got a little black book and the gals look cute
And I know the name of ev'ry spot in town
I wanna find 'em, fool 'em, leave 'em
An' let 'em do the same to me
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory
Now you may not approve of the things I do
But it really don't bother me
But don't ever think you can tie me down
I'm gonna stay footloose and fancy free
So jump back, make tracks, move out
An' let the pretty gals at me
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young

What is this thing, mortals call love
And why can't I have one of my own
I am so lonely, so all alone
Lonely is the bird, without a tree
And lonely is the sailor, without the sea

You turn and you turn till you're back to back
You move your feet and then you don't look back
You do the mojo workout, well the mojo workout
You do the mojo workout till you just can't work no more
Shuffle right on back and you hold on tight
A-hoppin' and a-boppin' from a left to right
Snap your fingers and turn all around
You do a little chicken and you holler out loud
You do the mojo workout, ah work out now
Just one more thing that you gotta learn to do
You stomp and you romp and you do the goochie-goo
You wiggle and you turn and away you go

You roll your eyes and look so sweet
I'm just so proud of you
When we go home together after school each night

What can you tell me, of the perfect man.
What can you tell me, now I don't quite understand.
We lose our grip, we glide and stall.
Some things come easy, some don't come at all.
We chip away at the perfect man.
What can you show me, now I don't quite understand.
Eye to eye nothing left to say
But will you really throw it all away.
We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down.
Things go wrong, though are strong.
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Round and round, we all fall down.
Sometime....
No matter how we try to keep things straight.
It makes no difference, while we cause our fate.
We burn our candle unaware.
While on our knees we cry in prayer.
We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down.
Pain won't last, this too shall pass.
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Round and round, time and time, again.
But ahhhh,
If it's so simple then explain to me.
How pain is so close to ecstasy.
How change can make you feel so free.
Ahhhh,
If we were meant to be such perfect fools.
Then why do we always break the rules,
Crashing through life's scenery.
We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down.
Angry cries and desperate lies.
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Hearts to mend, sun comes up again.

Been true to herself
Never swayed by the notions of somebody else
She'd had it rough, maybe most of the time
With only one thing on her mind
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man
There could be blue skies in her heart
She was waitin' for the good times to start
She never wanted diamonds
She never wanted gold
She was holdin' out for someone to hold

In this life I've seen everything I can see woman
I've seen lovers flying through the air
Hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
And I've seen kings and queens from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sitting watching
Picture slides
But I never seen nothin' like you.
[Chorus]
Do ya want my love
Do ya want my face
Do ya want my mind
Do ya want my love
Well I heard the crowd singin' out of tune
As they sat and sang auld lang syne by the light
Of the moon
I heard the preacher bangin' on the drums
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothing like you
In the country where the sky touches down
On the field she lay her down to rest
In the morning sun
They come a runnin' just to get a look just to
Feel to touch her long black hair they don't
Give a damn
[Chorus]
Well I think you know what I'm trying to say
Woman
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day
I've seen enough of the world to know
That i've got to get it all to get it all to grow

No one can say
How she caught my eyes
To this day
I don't know why
Oh well, her eyes
So much like diamonds
And her heart
So much like gold
I knew that I'd win her in time
When I felt her heart beat close to mine
And once in her arms
Then I knew anything I would do
Just for the love of a woman
Just for the love of a woman
I prayed that I'd never have to walk alone
I have a love of my own
I thank my stars
I found an angel
Never again
Will I walk alone
She brought a light
Into my heart
Like the brightest star
That's ever shone
Money and gold to a king
When you're alone, don't mean a thing
And once in her arms
Then I knew anything I would do
Just for the love of a woman
Just for the love of a woman
I prayed that I'd never have to walk alone
I have a love of my own
I could paint a masterpiece
I could walk through fire
I could shout it from the roof
From the smallest flame to a fire this love has grown
Just for the love of a woman
Money and gold mean nothin'
Never again will I have to walk alone
Since I have a love of my own
Now I have a love of my own
Just for the love of a woman
Just for the love of a woman
Just for the love of a woman
Love of my own, love of my own
I can't face this world all alone
Love of my own, love of my own
I can't face this world all alone
Love of my own, love of my own
I can't face this world all alone
Love of my own, love of my own
I can't face this world all alone
Love of my own, love of my own
I can't face this world all alone

<@#Electric_Light_Orchestra_Loser_Gone_Wild.txt#@>
I don't mind the pain, or the jokers' cold refrain
The days pass by so slowly, I count them all again
Silence of a basement, shades all closed at noon
Lie awake for fear of strangers
Darkness comes on slowly, twilight is the ecstasy
Like a candle burning bright, shadows dance until the night
Empty rooms and chilling smiles
They go on for miles and miles
But in the evening when the sun goes down
Crawl from the shadows got to get into town
Where the music is playin' all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight
There goes a loser, another loser gone
There goes another, another who's alone
There goes a loser, another loser gone wild
I don't mind if violins don't play
I won't listen to them anyway
I don't care what people say
Some things just can't be arranged
Icy fingers touching you
Silent voices calling too
What else is there to lose
I am here but where are you?
But in the evening when the sun goes down
Crawl from the shadows got to get into town
Where the music is playin' all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight
<@#Electric_Light_Orchestra_Nightrider.txt#@>
I remember somewhere in the rain,
the faces of the passers-by, staring faces, broken blinds,
I recall the situation clearly standing in a crowded car,
I can feel the need in me.
Hold on, nightrider baby, hold on you're a nightrider
Riding the night, searching for what is gone,
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on.
I still see that vision of delight,
While cruising on the black of night,
but she keeps a step ahead
Looking out the corner of her world, nobody ever knows a girl,
who once lived along this way.
Hold on, nightrider baby, hold on you're a nightrider
Riding the night, searching for what is gone,
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on.
Desolation degradation row,
Go on don't let the feeling show,
She's a ten a penny dream,
Faces with no name no address, keep staring in on my distress
But she kills me with her smile.
Hold on, nightrider baby, hold on you're a nightrider
Riding the night, searching for what is gone,
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on.
<@#Electric_Light_Orchestra_Starlight.txt#@>
Starlight, I hear you callin' out to me.
Sweet love rollin' across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.
You gotta stop foolin' around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
Starlight, your eyes are lookin' out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why.
I can feel you're so real, I can see you're so near
And the you run.
You gotta stop foolin' around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.
Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night don't tell noby that I told you so.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.
You gotta stop foolin' around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.
[Repeat and fade...]
Starlight, your eyes are lookin' down on me so far away.
<@#Electric_Light_Orchestra_Stranger_On_A_Quiet_Street.txt#@>
When all the thrills have been forgotten
The chill of night can call them home
And all the dreams that you left stranded
Will slowly start to come along
I felt it as she slipped away, slipped away
I didn't have the words to say
When I saw the stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
You can go straight as an arrow
You can go straight as you dare
Walkin' the old straight and narrow
Don't always get you there
The sun was shining when I saw it all
She was moving to a different beat
When I met a stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
It came to me out of the blue, out of the blue
There came the moment that I really knew
When I met a stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street, on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street...
Stranger on a quiet street...

Do you wonder? Is it on and back again?

Surrender, baby, surrender

I know it, what we said that day
Are you under? Did it matter anyway?

Does it all mean waiting back alone and blue?

Have you been alright through all those lonely,
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?"
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything
If you pick up that telephone, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, How you feelin'?
Are you still the same, don't you realize the things we did,
We did were all for real, not a dream.

Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight.
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight.
O. K. so no one's answering,
Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer,
Longer, longer oh, I'll just sit tight,
Through shadows of the night let it ring forever more, oh, hoh hoh hoh.
Doo da wop, doo bee doo da wop, do wah doo lang.

<@#Electric_Light_Orchestra_The_Lemon_Tree.txt#@>
There's a girl next door to me who's round the bend
But she wonders why she can't make any friends
From her garden she could see me
In her silver-clad bikini
Singing, dancing round her fruit tree
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, can't you hear me
Here we go round the lemon tree
Mister, don't come near me
Could I calm her down by throwing stones at her
If only I could make the right approach to her
Think I'd rather tame a tiger
Turn those lemons into cider
Still I'd like to get beside her
Chorus
Three o'clock in the morning
I could her her toneless singing
I could smell her lemon perfume in the air
I walked up to the window
In the hope that I might see her
Could the deadly shade of night still bring her there
Chorus
Morning came and into action went my plans
Went to meet her dressed in bright green underpants
I crept in and sang discreetly
Seemed to change your mind discreetly
Danced together singing sweetly
Chorus
Chorus
<@#Electric_Light_Orchestra_Time_After_Time.txt#@>
Time after time, time after time
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know
(Time after time)
From far away there comes a warning sound
And no one listens but it's all around
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know
[Chorus:]
Time after time, no hiding anywhere
Time after time, the visions in the air
Time after time, they come from everywhere
(Time after time)
Time after time
Just listen to the sirens of the world
They breathe a whisper waiting for the word
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know
(Time after time)
Time after time it is the same old story
Another footstep on the trail of glory
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know
(Chorus)
The beauty of the earth from way up high
Shines like a jewel upon the velvet sky
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know
(Chorus)
Emit retfa emit, no hiding anywhere
Emit retfa emit, no visions in the air
They come from everywhere
<@#Electric_Light_Orchestra_Train_Of_Gold.txt#@>
I saw her there from across the street, she was dressed in black
And when she moved she moved to a beat, like a Cadillac
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold
She was a woman of suspicious ways, never saw daylight
And in her room she sat and passed the days
And she'd creep out at night
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold
Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night
Looked through a window saw a velvet sky, a shade of green
A violin was playing soft and sweet, like it was a dream
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold
Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night
Train of gold, train of gold
I don't believe her, it just couldn't be her
I can't get it out of my mind

Whisper in the night
Over silent evening air
Angel's gown shines white
All at once you're glad she's there
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I'll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
Night turns into gold
So the tide may turn today
Though God gave the world
It's not mine to throw away
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I'll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
La da da - da
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
Help to face what the day may bring
Angels sing
You were sent to make the night be kind
What will I find
Snowflake bird she came
Taking grey clouds from your door
Face the midnight sun
You have something to live for
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I'll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
La da da - da
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me

Sometimes I look up high
And then I think there might,
Just be a better life
Away from all we know
That's where I wanna go
Out on the wild side,
And I wish I was
Oh oh oh oh, a wild west hero.
Ride the range all the day
Till the first fading light
Be with my western girl
Round the fire oh so bright
I'd be the indians' friend
Let them live to be free
Ridin' into the sunset
I wish I could be.
I'd ride the desert sands
And through the prairie lands
Tryin' to do what's right
The folks would come to me
They'd say we need you here
I'd stay there for the night,
Oh I wish I was
Oh oh oh oh, a wild west hero
Ride the range all the day
Till the first fading light
Be with my western girl
Round the fire oh so bright
I'd be the indians' friend
Let them love to be free
Ridin' into the sunset
I wish I could be.

A-Tisket A-Tasket
A green and yellow basket
I bought a basket for my mommie
On the way I dropped it
I dropped it, I dropped it
Yes on the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And took it to the market
She was truckin' on down the
Avenue without a single thing to do
She was peck, peck, peckin' all around
When she spied it on the ground
A-Tisket A-Tasket
She took my yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I shall die
(Was it red?)
No, no, no, no
(Was it brown?)
No, no, no, no
(Was it blue)
No, no, no, no
Just a little yellow basket

Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to.
Life isn't long enough baby, but I can love you as long as I live.
Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to,
But I can promise you, baby, I'm gonna want to as long as I live.
I never cared, but now I'm scared, I won't live long enough.
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains and eat an apple every day then see
the doctor anyway.
What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to.
Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live.
I'll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow
I'm gonna take good care of me because, a sneeze or two might mean the flu,
And that would never never do
What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to.
Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live.

The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy-meant
Fall in love and you won't regret it
That's the best work of all, if you can get it
Holding hands at midnight
?neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
It?s nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won?t you tell me how?
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
<@#Ella_Fitzgerald_Dancing_On_The_Ceiling.txt#@>
The world is lyrical
Because a miracle
Has brought my lover to me
Though he's some other place, his face I see
At night I creep in bed
And never sleep in bed
But look above in the air
And to my greatest joy, my boy is there
It his prince who walks
Into my dreams and talks
He dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
Through the night
I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
There's my love
Up above
I whisper, "Go away, my lover
It's not fair"
But I'm so grateful to discover
He's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love
I whisper, "Go away, my lover
It's not fair"
But I'm so grateful to discover
He's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love
Just for my love

Paradise can not refuse us
Never such a happy pair
Everybody must excuse us
If we walk on air
All the shadows now will lose us
Lucky stars are everywhere
As a happy being
Here's what I'm foreseeing
For you, for me, forever more
It's bound to be forever more
It's plain to see
We found, by finding each other
The love we waited for
I'm yours, you're mine
And in our hearts
The happy ending starts
What a lovely world
This world will be
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, forever more
What a lovely world
This world will be
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, forever more

Get out of town
Before it's too late my love
Get out of town
Be good to me please
Why wish me harm
Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm
The birds off the trees
Just disappear
I care for you much too much
And when you're near, close to me dear
We touch too much
The thrill when we meet is so bittersweet
That darling, it's getting me down
So on your mark get set
Get out of town

By letting her seat wave
In such a way that
The customers say that
She certainly can can-can.
Gee, her anatomy

Jump to ninety-three.

The poets say that all who love are blind
But I'm in love and I know what time it is
The good book says, "Go seek and ye shall find"
Well, I have sought and my, what a climb it is!
My life is just like the weather
It changes with the hours
When he's near I'm fair and warmer
When he's gone I'm cloudy with showers
An emotion like the ocean
It's either sink or swim
When a woman loves a man
Like I love him
Never treats me sweet and gentle, the way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental, not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good
But when the weekend's over and Monday rolls around
I end up like I started out just cryin' my lil' heart out
He don't love me like I love him
No, nobody could, I got it bad and that ain't good
So bad, so bad
I got on it so bad, so bad though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I'm glad, I'm mad about you, I can't live without you
Lord above me make him love me the way he should
Like a lonely weeping willow lost in the wood
The things I tell my pillow
No woman should
I got it bad, bad so bad and that ain't good

The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember you-ooh

But you're wearing shades and your eyes look real dark underneath
Baby I'm worried you'll get it wrong for me
There's four love songs so which one did you write for me?
Baby you haven't been getting along with me
If you play the song, I know whether to stay or cry or leave
In the first song you love me, but you don't think I love you
In the second I love you but you leave
In the third song you're confused til the day I set you free
On the fourth, someone else is loving me, loving me
Baby I'm waiting to hear your song for me
Cuz there's been delays since I asked if you're in love with me
And baby the songs you write are not happy
I can't find a line like "I love you" and "you love me"
Baby I no longer think you belong to me
So I got the song, but you lost the girl, goodbye from me
In the first song you love me, but you don't think I love you
In the second I love you but you leave
In the third song you're confused til the day I set you free
On the fourth, someone else is loving me, loving me
Baby I'm worried you'll get it wrong for me
There's four love songs, so which one did you write for me?
And in the first song you love me, but you don't think I love you
In the second I love you but you leave

[Verse 1]
Enemy, used to be
Part of you, bittersweet
But now you tell me lies
Up and down, cold and hot
Swear to God, got to stop
Because I can't sleep at night
[Refrain]
If you wanted love like this
Blowing up with every kiss
Should've known better
Because you find yourself alone
Chilling you right to the bone
No, should've known better
[Chorus]
You and me just
Running towards the light
Giving up the fight
Hoping we survive
You and me just
Strangers in the night
Giving up the fight
Waiting to ignite
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life

Lost in you, lost in me
Afraid of love, in too deep
So we just run and hide
Lightning fast, felt the crash
Scared to lose, fear attacks
We only know goodbye

Running towards the light
Giving up the fight
Hoping we survive
You and me just
Strangers in the night
Giving up the fight
Waiting to ignite

Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life

Blowing up with every kiss
Should've known better
Because you find yourself alone
Chilling you right to the bone
No, should've known better

Hopelessly holding on
To all those perfect nights
Let's pretend it's not gone
And say we'll never die

You and me just
Running towards the light
Giving up the fight
Hoping we survive
You and me just
Strangers in the night
Giving up the fight
Waiting to ignite

Running from the truth because the truth's too much to take

You can come ride shotgun with me
Whatever you like, ever you like
Every time I look at those stars
Know they ain't got the answers for me
But I'll be alright, I'll be alright

You can hurt me, I'll find another
You can love me, you'll be my lover
Happy, in rain or thunder

Just you and me
That true love, it was taken away from us so young
We're summer kids
Without a song, we're fading in to oblivion
But we're still the one

We got our guard up and we're hung up on another loss
I need to summon all these demons keeping me on the floor
But now we're here and I am giving everything to you
Just say you need this, say you need me, say you want this too
[Chorus]
Say you want this too
Say you need this too
We're the greatest
Gets it like we do
Kills it like we do
We're the greatest
No one does it like we do
[Verse 2]
That sadness kills
Don't let the past dictate the way you play it now
Don't play it down
The time is now
I know you're feeling what I feel, just let it show
Don't let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody somewhere driving in their car is crying out
Forever running from the truth, sometimes all we have is doubt
But now we're here and I am giving all I can to you
Just say you love me, say you love me, say you want this too
[Chorus]
Say you want this too
Say you need this too
We're the greatest
Gets it like we do
Kills it like we do
We're the greatest
No one does it like we do
No one does it like we do
No one does it like we do
[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody somewhere driving in their car is crying out
Forever running from the truth, sometimes all we have is doubt
But now we're here and I am giving all I can to you
Just say you love me, say you love me, say you want this too
[Chorus]
Say you want this too
Say you need this too
We're the greatest
Gets it like we do
Kills it like we do
We're the greatest
No one does it like we do
Say you want this too
Say you need this too
We're the greatest
Gets it like we do
Kills it like we do
We're the greatest
No one does it like we do
<@#Elton_John_All_The_Girls_Love_Alice.txt#@>
Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of Mummy-doesn't-love-me blues
Reality it seems was just a dream
She couldn't get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick who's just sixteen
And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice it's my turn today
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me
Wait till my husband's away
Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
It's like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl's bed
And it was only last Tuesday they found you in the subway dead
And who could you call your friends down in Soho
One or two middle-aged dykes in a Go-Go
And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
And hey, hey, hey, oh don't you know
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice it's my turn today
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me
Wait till my husband's away
<@#Elton_John_And_The_House_Fell_Down.txt#@>
The sun is up and the shades are all pulled down
I'm more paranoid with every little sound
Like the leaf blower blowing the leaves around
And a siren wailing on the other side of town
Oh the TVs on and the colors really hurt my head
If I could think straight I'd wish that I was dead
Or curled up naked in my lover's bed
Instead I'm hanging over Hell suspended by a single thread
[Chorus:]
And I don't recall who said it at this time
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
With a rolled up note I'm hovering on that line
Three days on a diet of cocaine and wine
And a little weed just to level me sometime
I put the clock in the drawer 'cause I've cancelled out the time
[Chorus]
So don't knock on my door, don't try to call
I'm holed up in this room talking to the wall
When you're high as this you think you know it all
When you're this deep in there's no place else to fall
[Chorus]
And still that saying gets inside my mind
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
<@#Elton_John_Better_Off_Dead.txt#@>
There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on
And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning
Away in the distance there's a blue flashing light
Someone's in trouble somewhere tonight
As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse
The wind blows away all of yesterday's news
Well they've locked up their daughters and they battened the hatches
They always could find us but they never could catch us
Through the grease streaked windows of an all night cafe
We watched the arrested get taken away
And that cigarette haze has ecology beat
As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street
Cause the steam's in the boiler, the coal's in the fire
If you ask how I am, then I'll just say inspired
If the thorn of a rose, is the thorn in your side
Then you're better off dead, if you haven't yet died
<@#Elton_John_Between_Seventeen_And_Twenty.txt#@>
I wonder who's sleeping in your sheets tonight
Whose head rests upon the bed
Could it be a close friend I knew so well
Who seems to be so close to you instead
Close to you instead
I'm blue tonight, I'm red when I'm mad
I'm green when I'm jealous, yellow when I'm sad
I guess I cannot have everything
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty and you were seventeen
So out of choice I chose rock and roll
But it pushed me to the limit everyday
It turned me into a gypsy, kept me away from home
From there on, there seemed no use for you
For you to stay
And if I shower around 3 a.m.
It's just to wash away
The trace of a love unwanted
Oh in the times I went astray
The times I went astray
So much has flown between the years
When I was twenty and you were seventeen

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album blue moves
She slid down to the city limits
Monkey time in fifteen minutes
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Don't let me down
Please stick around
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Strobe light on the funky feet
Soul children in the disco heat
Top dog, top cat
Move that muscle and shake that fat
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Chicago, L. A.
Every place, every way
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Strobe light on the funky feet
The soul children in the disco heat
Top dog, top cat
Move that muscle and shake that fat
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Illinois, santa fe
Do what I say
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
<@#Elton_John_Blue_Avenue.txt#@>
I gotta quit this habit
It's like some drug for you
You've been my sweet sweet addict
I've been your little white boy blue
You've got the same obsession
We ain't no cat and mouse
You linger on my lips like confession
You laid the traps in this house
And it's no use each way we lose
You and me at the crossroads of Blue Avenue
Hit and run hearts collide here
True love passes through
Looks like we've got a wreck babe
Up on Blue Avenue
Up on Blue Avenue
Blue Avenue
Two hearts get entangled
Dirty minds they go to town
Everyone's got an angle
Little lies get spread around
Let them say what they want
You and me we already knew
Takes more than hocus pocus babe
To save you from Blue Avenue
<@#Elton_John_Come_And_Get_It.txt#@>
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Make your mind up fast
If you want it anytime, I can give it
But you better hurry 'cause it may not last
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
Will you walk away from a fool and his money
If you want it here it is, come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Make your mind up fast
If you want it anytime, I can give it
But you better hurry 'cause it may not last
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
Will you walk away from a fool and his money, sonny
If you want it here it is, come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You better hurry 'cause it's going fast
Fool and his money, sonny
If you want it here it is, come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You better hurry 'cause it's going fast

Come back, baby, come back to me, yeah
And you will see yeah, how I've changed
'Cause you're the only love I ever had
You're the only love I ever had, come back to me
Come back, baby, I did you wrong, yeah
And this is the song I sing, I hope will bring you back to me
You're the only love I ever knew, you're the only love I ever knew
Come back come back
Come back, baby
Come back and treat me right
Come back, baby

And I'm so glad you're coming back to me
Come back, baby
<@#Elton_John_Day_Is_Done.txt#@>
When the day is done
Down to Earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done
When the day is done
Hope so much your race will be all run
Then you find you jumped the gun
Have to go back where you begun
When the day is done
When the night is cold
Some get by but some get old
Just to show life's not made of gold
When the night is cold
When the bird has flown
Got no one to call your own
Got no place to call your home
Now the bird has flown
When the game's been fought
Newspaper blowing across the court
Lost much sooner than you would have thought
Now the game's been fought
When the party's through
Seems so very sad for you
Didn't do the things you meant to do
Now there's no time to to start anew
Now the party's through
When the day is done
Down to Earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done
Day is done
When the day is done
<@#Elton_John_Deep_Inside.txt#@>
The problem is
For many years
I've lived my life
Publicly
So it's hard for me to find a man I trust
I really trust
And everytime I find someone I like
Gotta worry about
If it's really me
That they see
And I thought you were the one, yeah
Deep inside I wish that they could see
That I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary
Deep inside I wish that they could see
That I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary
I don't have a lot of friends
And sometimes I have to wonder
Is it cash they see when they look at me
'Cause they're lookin' for a ride that's free
So I made the choice to be
Good to those who are good to me
Don't judge me, don't think I'm bitter
For the evil does allow me to see I'm just Mary
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I, I, oh
Deep inside I wish that they could see
That I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary
Deep inside I wish that they could see
That I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary
The problem is
For many years
I've lived my life
Publicly
And everytime I find a man
I, I can't trust him
Oh
<@#Elton_John_Dont_Forget_To_Remember.txt#@>
Though my heart won't believe that you have left me
I keep telling myself that it's true
I can get over anything
You are my love
But I can't get myself over you
Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me, my love
On my wall lies a photograph of you girl
Though I tried to forget you somehow
You're the mirror of my soul
So take me out of my world
Let me try to go on living
Right now
Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you
I love you
In my heart lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me, my love
<@#Elton_John_Dont_Stop.txt#@>
If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be here, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Why not think about the times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do
All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you
Don't you look back
Don't you look back
<@#Elton_John_Elderberry_Wine.txt#@>
There's a fly in the window
A dog in the yard
And a year since I saw you
There's a trunk in the corner
I keep all my letters
My bills and demands I keep too
Well I can't help thinking
About the times
You were a wife of mine
You aimed to please me
Cooked black-eyed peas-me
Made elderberry wine
[Chorus]
Drunk all the time
Feeling fine on elderberry wine
Those were the days
We'd lay in the haze
Forget depressive times
How can I ever get it together
Without a wife in line
To pick the crop and get me hot
On elderberry wine
Round a tree in the summer
A fire in the fall
Flat out when they couldn't stand
The bottle went round
Like a woman down south
Passed on from hand to hand
[Chorus]
<@#Elton_John_Empty_Garden.txt#@>
[Verse 1]
What happened here
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And now it all looks strange
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain
[Verse 2]
And what's it for
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
A gardener like that one, no-one can replace
[Chorus]
And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most all the day
Oh and I've been calling, oh hey hey Johnny
Can't you come out to play?
[Verse 3]
And through their tears
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger if only he could hear
Who lived there
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
We hear, we hear your name
[Chorus]
And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most all the day
Oh and I've been calling, oh hey hey Johnny
Can't you come out to play?
[Chorus]
And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most all the day
Oh and I've been calling, oh hey hey Johnny
Can't you come out, can't you come out to play?
[Outro]
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
<@#Elton_John_Go_On_And_On.txt#@>
On and on
On and on
She broke my heart, he hurt me too
That's something that only unworthy souls do
They said goodbye, we say hello
An introduction for a perfect love to grow
Let's stop thinking about the past
And start thinking about the future
So that love can go on and on
Let's stop thinking about the past
And start thinking about the future
So that love can go on and on
She said she'd stay, he said that too
So sad when you find out your love has found a new
She made me cry, he made me weep
But life has love in store for us that's ooh so sweet
On and on (love keeps going on)
On and on (they've got the whole of life)
On and on (love keeps going on)
On and
It's time to say goodbye to crying eyes and broken dreams
And get back to the joy that to each other we will bring
That starts from summer love to last through autumn, winter, spring
Our hearts will sing forever, love
<@#Elton_John_Have_Mercy_On_The_Criminal.txt#@>
Have you heard the dogs at night
Somewhere on the hill
Chasing some poor criminal
And I guess they're out to kill
Oh there must be shackles on his feet
And mother in his eyes
Stumbling through the devil-dark
With the hound pack in full cry
Have mercy on the criminal
Who is running from the law
Are you blind to the winds of change
Don't you hear him any more
Praying Lord you got to help me
I am never gonna sin again
Just take these chains from around my legs
Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend
Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam
While you lie on a cold damp ground
You're taking in the face of a rifle butt
While the wardens hold you down
And you've never seen a friend in years
Oh it turns your heart to stone
You jump the walls and the dogs run free
And the grave's gonna be your home

Lyrics by bernie taupin
Released as a uk b-side in november, 1973
Sitting here on christmas eve with a brandy in my hand
Oh i've had a few too many and it's getting hard to stand
I keep hearing noises from my fireplace
I must be going crazy or the brandy's won the race
And i keep hearing ho ho ho, guess who's here
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho ho ho, surprise, surprise
The bearded weirdy's just arrived
Ho ho ho, guess who's here
Your fat and jolly friend draws near
Ho ho ho, surprise surprise
The bearded wierdy's just arrived
On my roof there's snorting sounds, and bells inside my head
My vision's blurred with colour, and all he sees is red
There's a pair of large sized wellies coming down my flue
And the smell of burning rubber, oh is filling up the room
<@#Elton_John_I_Dont_Wanna_Go_On_With_You_Like_That.txt#@>
I've always said that one's enough to love
Now I hear you're bragging one is not enough
Something tells me you're not satisfied
You got plans to make me one of four or five
I guess this kind of thing's just in your blood
But you won't catch me carving up my love
I ain't no puzzle piece that needs to fit
If it takes more than me let's call it quits
[Chorus]
Cause I don't want to go on with you like that
Don't want to be a feather in your cap
I just want to tell you honey I ain't mad
But I don't want to go on with you like that
It gets so hard sometimes to understand
This vicious circle's getting out of hand
Don't need an extra eye to see
That the fire spreads faster in a breeze
[Chorus]
No I don't want to go on with you like that
One more set of boots on your welcome mat
You'll just have to quit them if you want me back
cause I don't want to go on with you like that
Oh if you want to spread it around sister that's just fine
But I don't want no second hand feeding me lines
If you want to hold someone in the middle of the night
Call out the guards, turn out the light
<@#Elton_John_Indian_Sunset.txt#@>
As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging
Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee
Oh I went to see my chieftain with my warlance and my woman
For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving
This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead
Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns
Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young
I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild
To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine
And now you ask that I should watch
The red man's race be slowly crushed
What kind of words are these to hear
From Yellow Dog whom white man fears
I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child
I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride
I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons
Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run
Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand
Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands
I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead
He'd been laying down his weapons when they filled him full of lead
Now there seems no reason why I should carry on
In this land that once was my land I can't find a home
It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming
And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running
For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones
Where the buffaloes graze in clover fields without the sound of guns
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet hole
<@#Elton_John_Island_Girl.txt#@>
I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey so sweet
Down where Lexington cross 47th Street
Oh she's a big girl, she's standing six-foot three
Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city
Island girl
What you wanting with the white man's world?
Island girl
Black boy want you in his island world
He want to take you from the racket boss
He want to save you, but the cause is lost
Island girl, island girl, island girl
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's world
Well she's black as coal, but she burn like a fire
And she wrap herself around you like a well-worn tire
You feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake, oh oh
He one more gone, he one more John who make the mistake
Island girl
What you wanting with the white man's world?
Island girl
Black boy want you in his island world
He want to take you from the racket boss
He want to save you, but the cause is lost
Island girl, island girl, island girl
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's world

What you wanting with the white man's world?
Island girl
Black boy want you in his island world
He want to take you from the racket boss
He want to save you, but the cause is lost

Tell me what you wanting with the white man's
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's
<@#Elton_John_It_Aint_Gonna_Be_Easy.txt#@>
It ain't gonna be easy from now on
You've been messing around while I've been gone
But sometimes telling the truth can be unkind
Folks who suffer guilt can be so blind
It ain't gonna be easy I can tell
Just how empty I'm feeling you know damn well
I'm telling you it ain't gonna be easy from the start
Look out honey you're playing with my heart
It ain't gonna be easy that's for sure
Changing things back the way they were before
Once you've lifted the lid on such pain
It ain't easy to put it back again
It ain't gonna be easy to forget
You've been seeing a man that I ain't met
I'm telling you that it ain't gonna be easy from the start
Look out baby, you're playing with my heart
It ain't gonna be so easy this time around
Turning back the clock on what's gone down
Oh there comes a time when you need to make a stand
You gotta play your cards or fold a losing hand
And it ain't gonna be easy that's no lie
But if you're willing to try it so am I
It ain't gonna be so easy from the start
You better look out darling, you're playing with my heart
<@#Elvis_Costello_Alison.txt#@>
Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with the way you look I understand
That you are not impressed.
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress.
I'm not going to get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines,
'cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody.
I only know it isn't mine.
Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.
Well I see you've got a husband now.
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying
In the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand.
I'll bet he took all he could take.
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say.
I think somebody better put out the big light,
Cause I can't stand to see you this way.
Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.
My aim is true
<@#Elvis_Costello_Blue_Chair.txt#@>
Now it's just you and me, my blue friend
And you say that it's you that she's thinking of and our affair must end
But if it's you that she's thinking of
I think my broken heart might mend
Well, it's my turn to talk, your turn to think
Your turn to buy, my turn to drink
Your turn to cry, my turn to sink
Down in the blue chair, down in the blue chair
Now I've made up my mind, I've made my mistake
And I know that she cries for you when she's barely awake
Well, she's going to bend your mind
Well, I hope it don't break
Now it's my turn to talk, your turn to think
Your turn to buy, my turn to drink
Your turn to cry, my turn to sink
Down in the blue chair, down in the blue chair
(Down in the blue chair)
We can watch our troubles rise
Like smoke into the air and drift up to the ceiling
(Down in the blue chair)
You can feel just like a boy or a man
And next minute you can find yourself kneeling
(Down in the blue chair)
They're boasting of loving the daylights
Right out of her in the small hours
(Down in the blue chair)
You say, that your love lasts forever
When you know the night is just ours, oh
And still I want her right now
Not in a minute, hour or day
And wherever she is tonight, I want her anyway
I suppose, she never said to you, you were just in the way
Now it's my turn to talk, your turn to think
Your turn to buy, my turn to drink
Your turn to cry and my turn to sink
Down in the blue chair, down in the blue chair
Down in the blue chair, down in the blue chair
Down in the blue chair, down in the blue chair
Down in the blue chair, down in the blue
Blue becomes you
Down in the blue chair
<@#Elvis_Costello_Brilliant_Disguise.txt#@>
(Bruce Springsteen)
I hold you in my arms
There's a band playing
What are those words whispered, baby
Just as you turn away?
Well I saw you last night
Out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind and know just what I got in this
New thing I found
So tell me what I see
When I look into your eyes
Is that you, baby
Or just a brilliant disguise?
I heard someone call your name
Underneath my willow
I saw something tucked in shame
Underneath your pillow
Well I tried so hard, baby
But I just can't see
What a woman like you
Is doing with me
So tell me who I see
When I look into your eyes
Is that you, baby
Or just a brilliant disguise?
Now look at me, baby
Struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart
When out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I wanna know it's you I don't trust
'Cause I damn sure don't trust myself
Now you play the lovin' woman
I play the faithful man
Just don't look too close
Into the palm of my hand
When we stood at the altar
The gypsy swore our future looked right
But in the wee, wee hours, maybe baby,
The gypsy lied
So when you look at me
You better look hard and look twice
Is that me, baby
Or just a brilliant disguise?
Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on a man
Who doubts what he's sure of
<@#Elvis_Costello_Country_Darkness.txt#@>
This tattered document
A mystery you can solve
Some burnt out filament
Flies buzzing around the bulb
Country darkness
He thought of traveling
Heard an approaching train
Drown out his desperate pulse
A song with no refrain
Country darkness
She daydreams forbidden sings
There must be something more
The prison she lives in
The one with the open door
Country darkness
The veil is covering
A glistening and cruel blade
Suffer little children
Repent, unfaithful maid
Country darkness
<@#Elvis_Costello_Dont_Let_Me_Be_Misunderstood.txt#@>
Baby can you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be mad
[Chorus:]
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood
Baby sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Other times it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then I know you're bound to see my other side
[Chorus]
If I get mad at you I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
But that is one thing I would never do 'cause I love you
Oh don't you know I'm human
I've got my faults just like any one
Sometimes I lie awake long regretting
Some foolish thing, some sinful thing I've done
[Chorus:x3]
<@#Elvis_Costello_Dr._Luthers_Assistant.txt#@>
Everything seems so tranquil
Home movies with no subtitles
Don't you wish you knew what they were sayin'
When the film keeps playin', playin'
Oh, he's Doctor Luther's assistant
He'll close in when he seems so distant
Doctor Luther's assistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance
Some say he is just a lackey
Changing words while the ink is still tacky
He's absolutely indispensable
He keeps the other boys in suspense
Oh, he's Doctor Luther's assistant
He'll close in when he seems so distant
Doctor Luther's assistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance
Luther is locked in a broken-down cinema
Watches his wife with his video camera
Sees his best boy makin' her grin
Out of the kitchen, she's gone with the wind
Oh, Doctor Luther's assistant
He'll close in, when he seems so distant
Doctor Luther's assistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance

At last I've awakened to see what you've done.
All I can do is pack up and run.
Now I know the rules. Find yourself another fool.
You said that you loved me. I was yours to command.
Your kind of loving, my heart couldn't stand.
You played me for a fool. Find yourself another fool.
And now, now that we're through, you say you wished you'd be true.
Oh, but deep down in my heart, I know our love could never grow.
And now, now that we're through, you say you wished you'd be true.

<@#Elvis_Costello_God_Give_Me_Strength.txt#@>
(words sung by the character in the movie given in brackets)
Now I have nothing, so God give me strength
Cause Im weak in her [his] wake
And if Im strong I might still break
And I don't have anything to share
That I wont throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out [this belle is wrung out]
[he] she was the light that I'd bless
[he] she took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength
I can't hold onto [him] her, God give me strength
When the phone doesnt't't ring
And Im lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
[he] she was the light that I'd bless
[he] she took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength,
God if [hed] she'd grant me [his] her indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe [him] her from my memory
Fracture the spell as [he] she becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt
See, Im only human, I want him to hurt
I want him
I want him to hurt
[instrumental]
Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
[he] she was the light that I'd bless
[he] she took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength
<@#Elvis_Costello_Heart-shaped_Bruise.txt#@>
Tell me now
Or are you teasing?
I felt the cold hard facts of life
Five degrees from freezing
Does it amuse you to always
Hurt me so?
It try my best it's not enough
Should I give up and let you?
What more is there to take from me?
There's nothing else to give you, dear
There's nothing more that I can lose
Except this heart shaped bruise
It will fade
From purple to violet
It will fade
Just as the day dissolves into twilight
Tell me now
Or am I only dreaming?
You said that you'd be mine for life
And now you say you're leaving
If I could hold you once more
Before you go
When I approach you just lash out
Should I give up and let you?
What more is there to take from me?
There's nothing left give you, dear
There's nothing else that I can lose
Except this heart shaped bruise
It will fade from purple to violet
It will fade...

<@#Elvis_Costello_How_Deep_Is_The_Red.txt#@>
Is this is not a pretty tale?
Is this not a riddle?
A bow shoots arrows through the air
A bow drags notes from a fiddle
But who is the beau of a young girl's heart?
That a king may send to battle
Is this not a pretty tale?
Is this not a riddle?
If red is the breast of soldier's tunic hung with a silver medal
And red is the thorn that protects the rose,
A deeper red than the petal
How deep is the red our redeemer bled,
The debt of our sins to settle?
How deep is the red?
How deep is the red?
How deep is the red our redeemer bled?
How deep is the red??
How deep is the red??
How deep is the red??
How deep is the red??
How deep is the red our redeemer bled?
How deep is the red??
How deep is the red??

<@#Elvis_Costello_How_To_Be_Dumb.txt#@>
I was hell-bent on destroying my powers of concentration
While you were living like a saint
And all the time the very one you trusted was washing off
Somebody else's paint
Now you've got yourself a brand new occupation
Every fleeting thought is a pearl
And beautiful people stampede to the doorway
Of the funniest fucker in the world
They're here to help you
Satisfy your desire
There's a bright future for all you professional liars
[Chorus]
Now you know how to be dumb
Are you ready to take your place in the modern museum of mistakes?
Don't you know how to be dumb?
Like a building thrown up overnight in one of those reverse earthquakes
They emptied out all the asylums, they emptied out all the jails
The "new bruise" was the name of a dance craze
By "Jesus cross and the cruel nails"
Followed up by "torturing little beaver"
With their contraption of barbed wire
Between the fear and the fever lies all the rejection they require
They'll be howling by midnight, they'll be drooling by dawn
Skulls shrunk down to the size of their brains
Heads shaven and shorn
[Chorus]
Trapped in the house of the perpetual sucker
Where bitterness always ends so pitifully
You always had to dress up your envy in some half-remembered
Philosophy
Now you're masquerading as pale powdered genius
Whose ever bad intention has been purged
You could've walked out any time you wanted but face it you
Didn't have the courage
I guess that makes you a full time hypocrite or some kind of
Twisted dilettante
Funny though people don't usually get so ugly 'til they think
They know what they want
Scratch your own head stupid
Count up to three
Roll over on your back
Repeat after me
Don't you know how to be dumb?
Are you ready to take your place in the modern museum of mistakes?
Don't you know how to be dumb?
Like a building thrown up overnight in one of those reverse earthquakes
<@#Elvis_Costello_I_Cant_Stand_Up_For_Falling_Down.txt#@>
I'm the living result
I'm a man who's been hurt a little too much
And I've tasted the bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel
I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down
Simple though love is
Still it confused me
Why I'm not loved the way I should be
Now I've lived with heartaches
And I've roomed with fear
I've dealt with despair
And I've wrestled with tears
I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down
The vow that we made
You broke it in two
But that don't stop me from loving you
I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down
<@#Elvis_Costello_Ill_Never_Fall_In_Love_Again.txt#@>
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you give your heart
You get it all broken up and battered
That's what you get, a heart that's shattered
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
<@#Elvis_Costello_Less_Than_Zero.txt#@>
Calling Mr. Oswald with the swastika tattoo
There is a vacancy waiting in the English voodoo
Carving "V" for "vandal" on the guilty boy's head
When he's had enough of that, maybe you'll take him to bed
To teach him he's alive before he wishes he was dead
[Chorus:]
Turn up the TV, no one listening will suspect
Even your mother won't detect it, so your father won't know
They think that I've got no respect but
Everything is less than zero
Hey, oo hey-ey
Hey, oo hey-ey
Oswald and his sister are doing it again
They've got the finest home movies that you have ever seen
They've got a thousand variations, every service with a smile
They're gonna take a little break and they'll be back after a while
Well, I hear that South America is coming into style
[Chorus:]
A pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor
Mr. Oswald said he had an understanding with the law
He said he heard about a couple living in the USA
He said they traded in their baby for a Chevrolet
Let's talk about the future, now we've put the past away
[Chorus:]
Hey, oo hey-ey
Hey, oo hey-ey...
<@#Elvis_Costello_Living_In_Paradise.txt#@>
I don't like those other guys looking at your curves
I don't like you walking 'round with physical jerks
Everything they say and do is getting on my nerves
Soon they will be lucky to be picking up the perks
'Cause when they pull the shutters down and throw up in the dark
They'll find that all the dogs outside bite much worse than they bark
[Chorus:]
Here we are living in paradise, living in luxury
Oh, the thrill is here but it won't last long
You better have your fun before it moves along
And you're already looking for another fool like me
I call you Betty Felon 'cause you are a pretty villain
And I think that I should tell them that you'd make a pretty killing
'Cause meanwhile up in heaven they are waiting at the gate
Saying, "We always knew you'd make it, didn't think you'd come this late"
And now it's much too dangerous to stop what you've begun
When everyone in paradise carries a gun
[Chorus:]
Later in the evening when arrangements are made
I'll be at the keyhole outside your bedroom door
'Cause I'm the first to know whenever the plans are laid
That never go further than floor to floor
You think that I don't know the boy that you're touching
But I'll be at the video and I will be watching
[Chorus:]
<@#Elvis_Costello_Love_For_Tender.txt#@>
You won't take my love for tender
You can put your money where your mouth is
But you're so unsure
I could be a miser or a big spender
But you might get much more than you bargained for
Check in on a checkmate
Grassing on a classmate
So beautiful and fortunate
You're the one who hates to love
But he's the one who loves to hate
He can fix you all for good
Because he is the neighbourhood
You can get money for blood
Blood money for doing no good
Better tell me now, have you made your selection?
Are you ready for correction?
Cause the wages of sin are an expensive infection
It'll make you bankrupt
Better pay up now, don't interrupt
So in love, I'm so sincere
Just like a well-known financier
You know I've never been corrupt
I'll pay you a compliment
And you'll think I am innocent
You can total up the balance sheet
And never know if I'm a counterfeit
You won't take my love for tender...

Ou kiss me darling, a miracle starts
A magic feeling, comes into our hearts
The spell of love began, when we're alone
And we're in, a world of our own
You say you want me, and music I hear
Touch me my darling, and clouds disappear
The sky is bright above, and cares have flown
And we're in, a world of our own
Holding you close, is heaven
Only I know, what it's worth
Knowing you're mine, forever
Is the greatest wonder on earth
Nothing can change it, the magic's begun
When we're together, our hearts become one
I find a happiness, I've never known
When we're in, a world of our own
When we're in...a world of our own

Listen easy, you can hear God calling
Walking barefoot by the stream
Come on to me, Your hair's softly falling
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
Saying nothing, lying where the sun is
Baking down upon our sides
My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses
Your hands gentle in reply
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
Child, touch my soul with your cries
And the music will know what we've found
I, hear a hundred good-byes
But today I hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now
Now now now now now now now
Young bird flying, and a soft wind blowing
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing
As you lay sleeping in my arms
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
No the grass won't pay no mind

Or drivin' late at night
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark
You just wanna hold me tight

Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages i remember

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting

I'm the illest rapper to hold a cordless
Patrolling corners
Looking for hookers to punch in the mouth with a roll of quarters
I'm meaner in action
Than Rosco beating James Tarteenyer [?]
And smackin his back with vacuum cleaner attachments
I grew up in the wild hood
As a hazardous youth
With a fucked up childhood
That I used as an excuse
And aint shit changed
But kept the same mindstate
Since the third time that I failed 9th grade
You probably think that I'm a negative person don't be so sure of it
I don't promote violence I just encourage it
I laugh at the sight of death
As I fall down a cement flight of steps
And land inside a bed of spider webs
So throw caution to the wind
You and a friend
Can jump off of a bridge and if you live, do it again
shit, why not? Blow your brain out
I'm blowing mine out
fuck it, you only live once you might as well die now
It's only fair to warn
I was born with a set of horns
And metaphors attached to my damn umbulical cord
Warlord of rap little bastard with a two by four board
That smashed into your Honda Accord
With a 4 door Ford
But I'm more toward droppin an accapella
And choppin' a fella
To mozarella
Worse than a hellacopta propella
Got you locked in the cella
With your skeleton showing
Developing anorexia
While I'm standin next to ya
Eating a full course meal watching you starve to death
With an iv in your veins
Feeding you liquid darvicet
Pumping you full of drugs
Pull the plugs
On the gunshot victims full of bullet slugs
Who were picked up in an ambulance
And driven
To receiving with the asses ripped outta they pants
And given
A less than 20 percent chance
Of living
Have a possible placement
It's a hospital patient
Storing the dead bodies in grandma's little basement
Doctor Kevorkian has arrived
To perform an autopsy on you while you scream "I'M STILL ALIVE!"
Driving a rusty scalpel in through the top of your scalp
And pulling your adams apple out through your mouth
Better call the fire department
I've hired a arson
To set fire to carpet
And burn up your entire apartment
I'm a liar to start shit [?]
Got your bitch wrapped around my dick
So tight you need a crobar to pry her apart wit
Met a retarded kid named Greg with a wooden leg
Snatched it off and beat him over the fucking head with the peg
Go to bed with the keg wake up with the 40
Mixed up with Alka Seltzer and Formula 44D
fuck an acid tab I'll strap the whole sheet to my forehead
Wait until it absorbed in and fell to the floor dead
No more said case closed end of discussion
I'm blowin up like spontaneous human combustion
Leaving you in the aftermath of holocaust and traumas
Cross the bombas [?]
We blowin up your house killing your parents
And coming back to get your foster mommas
And I'm as good at keeping a promise as Nostradamus
Cause I aint making no more threats
I'm doing drivebys in tinted Corvettes on Vietnam war vets
I'm more or less sick in the head
Maybe more cause I smoked crack [?]
Today, yesterday, and the day before sabbath
Walk the block with a labrador
Strapit more corral for war than El Salvador
Foul style galore
Verbal cow manure
Coming together like the eyebrow on Al B. Sure
<@#Eminem_Cleanin_Out_My_Closet.txt#@>
Where's my snare?
I have no snare in my headphones
There you go, yeah, yo yo
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times
Sick as the mind of the motherfuckin' kid that's behind
All this commotion emotions run deep as oceans explodin'
Tempers flaring from parents just blow 'em off and keep goin'
Not takin' nothin' from no one, give 'em hell long as I'm breathin'
Keep kickin' ass in the mornin' and takin' names in the evening
Leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in their mouth
See they can trigger me but they never figure me out
Look at me now, I bet ya probably sick of me now
Ain't you mama I'm a make you look so ridiculous now
[Chorus: x2]
I said I'm sorry mama
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to make you cry
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet
I got some skeletons in my closet and
I don't know if no one knows it
So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it
I'm a expose it, I'll take you back to '73
Before I ever had a multi-platinum sellin' C-D
I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months
My fagot father must have had his panties up in a bunch
Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye
No, I don't, on second thought, I just fuckin' wished he would die
I look at Hailie and I couldn't picture leavin' her side
Even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I
Try to make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake
I maybe made some mistakes but I'm only human
But I'm man enough to face them today!
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb
But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets out of that gun
Cause I'd a killed them, shit I woulda shot Kim and him both
This my life, I'd like to welcome y'all to The Eminem Show
[Chorus: x2]
Now I would never dis my own mama
Just to get recognition
Take a second to listen who you think this record is dissin'
But put yourself in my position just try to envision
Witnessin' yo mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen
Bitchin' that someones always goin' through her purse and shit's missin'
Goin' through public housing systems, victim of Munchhausen's syndrome
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't
'Til I grew up, now I blew up
It makes you sick to your stomach doesn't it?
Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, Ma?
So you could try to justify the way you treated me, Ma?
Well guess what your gettin' older now and
It's cold when your lonely and Nathan's growin' up so quick
He's gonna know that your phony
And Hailie's gettin' so big now, you should see her she's beautiful
But you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral!
See what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong
Bitch, do your song
Keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom
But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get
You selfish bitch, I hope you fuckin' burn in hell for this shit
Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?
Well guess what I am dead, dead to you as can be!
[Chorus: x2]

<@#Eminem_Im_Having_A_Relapse.txt#@>
Damn it feels good to be back
I'm having a relapse
How the hell did he manage
To get more felony charges?
He's already got life in jail
Man, what the hell is his problem?
Well to be honest the smell of these chronic leaves make me hella demonic
They compelled me
To kill this elderly man
And I get these panic attacks
Pop a xanax, relax
Try to stick my fucking dick
Inside a mannequins ass
Then I get manic depressed
And the orthodontist get gas masked
Kick ass
The first thing I'll put on is the mask
Speaking of masks, man
It ain't to late to have a change of pace
And take it off and show my face
So you can see the things you face
And slice you up
And cook you after your murder
By strangulation
that's bacon souffle
You making ain't you
Well thank you jason
There goes one more coma
Due to blunt force trauma
Just give me one more soma
And I'll be done for it mama
Go in the damn broom closet
Another valium lost it
Shovin the vacuums nozzle
Down the bathroom faucet
It seems like every day I get a little flakier
The medication is making my hands a little shakier
Hand me that 18 month old baby
To shake him up
It'll only take me a second to choke his trachea
Breaking his neck in 80 some places
Baby here shady comes lady
He's got the razor ba-blades and the cha-cha-chainsaw-saw baby
You be-be-blundering bumbling m-m-mumbling dumm dumms
Yeah, here I come come you hear the rumbling, vrum vrum
there's something inside of that blue tarp
And that drum drum
A head and torso of someone
Where'd it come from?
Who's it belong to
Maybe that girl with the long blond hair
Who disappeared and left her cheerleader pom poms
Clearly there's some'n wrong
'Cause she didn't come home
she's missing
Where is she
Something fishy is going on
I guess he stuck the bitch with the pitchfork with the long prongs
Now everybody get your dance on
To my damn song
C'mon
<@#Eminem_Its_Ok.txt#@>
Check it out
Hey Kyu!
[Chorus: x2]
It's a broke day but everything is OK (It's OK)
I'm up all night but everything is alright (It's alright)
It's a rough week and I don't get enough sleep (I can't sleep)
It's a long year pretending I belong here (Belong here)
One day I plan to be a family man happily married
I want to grow to be so old that I have to be carried
'Til I'm glad to be buried
And leave this crazy world
And have at least a half a million for my baby girl
It may be early to be planning this stuff
'Cause I'm still struggling hard to be the man, and it's tough
'Cause man it's been rough, but still I manage enough
I've been taken advantage of, damaged and scuffed
My hands have been cuffed
But I don't panic and huff, frantic and puff
Or plan to give up, the minute shit hits the fan it erupts
I'm anteing up double or nothing, I've been trouble enough
And I'm sick of struggling and suffering, see
My destiny's to rest at ease, till I'm impressed and pleased
With my progress, I won't settle for less than cheese
I'm on a quest to seize all, my own label to call
Way before my baby is able to crawl
I'm too stable to fall, the pressure motivates
To know I hold the weight of boulders on my shoulder blades
I seen the golden gates to heaven on Earth
Where they don't pull a weapon on you when you stepping on turf, Kyu
[Chorus: x2]
I'm going for broke, gambling and playing for keeps
Everyday in the streets, scrambling and paying for cheep
Praying for sleep
Dreaming with a watering mouth
Wishing for a better life for my daughter and spouse
In this slaughtering house, caught up in bouts
With the root of all evil
I've seen it turn beautiful people crude and deceitful
And make them do shit illegal
For these Grant's and Jackson's
These transactions explain a man's actions
But in the mist of this insanity, I found my Christianity
Through God and there's a wish he granted me
He showed me how to cope with the stress
And hope for the best, instead of mope and depressed
Always groping a mess, of flying over the nest
To selling dope with the rest
I quit smoking cess to open my chest
Life is stressful inside this cesspool
Trying to wrestle, I almost bust a blood vessel
My little brother's trying to learn his mathematics
He's asthmatic, running home from school away from crack addicts
Kids attract static, children with automatics
Taking target practice on teens for Starter Jackets
I'm using smarter tactics to overcome this slum
I won't become as dumb as some and succumb to scum
It's cumbersome, I'm trying to do well on this Earth
But it's been Hell on this Earth since I fell on this Earth
[Chorus: x2]
Uh, it's OK, yeah it's alright, even though I can't sleep
Uh yeah, it's OK, it's alright, I can't sleep

[laughing]
Ay yo 50
What I tell you
We ain't even have to say shit
They did it
[laughing]
[chorus]
Monkey see monkey do
Don't ever make the first move
Just let em' come to you
Cause they always gunna see and do what the other one do
So let em' come to you
The rest of us follow suit
Monkey see monkey do
Tweedle-de-tweedle-dumb
If they really want it bad enough well then they gunna come
Now here they come as we expected now we just set em' up
Check-mate motherfucker
Games over
We won
Tweedle-de-tweedle-dumb
It doesn't take much
For me to raise such a stink up
When motherfuckers hate your guts
You ain't even gotta say much
For me to put a pen to a blank sheet of papers
Like smearing blood stains with a paint brush
I can't explain what it is my brain does
But however it works its insane
Its plain nutz
And it ain't just my brain thas dangerous
Its a whole combination of things
It takes nutz
And I'm not affriad to raise the stakes up
I got a million bucks in the banks and 8 trucks
For anybody who gets on the track and spanks us
I'm patiently waiting for the day
I'm anxious
To see the look on ya fake mugs
When you thugs go bankrupt
Ya drunk
Ya ain't tough
Whatever you drank musta just turned ya into some gangstas
This is me talking motherfucker
This ain't drugs
You wanna pop, shit wake-up, then make-up
FUCK THAT
Its too late chump now face up
I pray for the day that someone who spits with the calliber that nas and jay
does
Opens up his jaw to say something or rattle my name off
Or rattle the first thing from the top of his brain off
So I can blow the fuckin dust off of this chainsaw
And give him the surgery that he came for
Till I pull the paint off
I never been shot
But I think me and 50 musta been cut from the same cloth
Cause I've always came off
Like ja's chain
When they try to rush him and lost
And came back and gave him a watch in exchange for it
I don't stop
The only thing I wait for
Is day that I don't gotta report to probate court
Cause ima give ya all the reason to hate more
Cause I've been holding my tongue till I got a sprained jaw
A lot of rappers on my list that just ain't ja
And ima read that motherfucker off from April
You pussies think I went soft since 8 mile
When I come back ill be shootin more than just paint balls
Trust me
[chorus]
Monkey see monkey do
Don't ever make the first move
Just let em' come to you
Cause they always gunna see and do what the other one do
So let em' come to you
The rest of us follow suit
Monkey see monkey do
Tweedle-de-tweedle-dumb
If they really want it bad enough well then they gunna come
Now here they come as we expected now we just set em' up
Check-mate motherfucker
Games over
We won
Tweedle-de-tweedle-dumb

Fuckin dummies

<@#Emmylou_Harris_All_My_Tears.txt#@>
(Julie Miller)
When I go don't cry for me
In my fathers arms I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole
Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name
It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from heaven's store
Come and drink and thirst no more
So weep not for me my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to him
Who will raise the dead again
It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
<@#Emmylou_Harris_All_That_You_Have_Is_Your_Soul.txt#@>
Oh my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she wanna spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all that you have is your soul
[Chorus: ]
Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of the bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul
I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams, I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have is your soul
Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul
[Chorus: ]
I thought, thought that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I'd take it all, take it all I'd run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul
Here I am waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul
[Chorus: ]
Oh my mama told me
'Cause she said she learned the hard way
She said she want to spare the children
She said it don't give to sell your soul away
All that you have is your soul
All that you have
All that you have
All that you have
All that you have is your soul
<@#Emmylou_Harris_All_The_Roadrunning.txt#@>
(feat. Mark Knopfler)
A million miles our vagabond heels
Clocked up beneath the clouds
They're counting down to show time
When we do it for real with the crowds
Air miles are owing
But they don't come for free
And they don't give you any for pain
But if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain
The rimshots come down like cannon fire
And thunder off the wall
There's a man in every corner
And each one is giving his all
This is my fife
This is my drum
So you never will hear me complain
And if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
Well if you're inclined
To go up on the wall
It can only be fast and high
And those who don't like the danger
Soon find something different to try
When there's only a ringin' in your ears
And an echo down memory lane
But if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
The show's packing up
I sit and watch the convoy
Leaving town
There's no pretending I'm not a fool,
For riding around and around
Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death
You showed me one time on the plane
But if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain
A million miles of vagabond sky
Clocked up above the clouds
I'm still your man for the roaming
For as long as there's roamin' allowed
There'll be a rider
And there'll be a wall
As long as the dreamer remains
And if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Alone_And_Forsaken.txt#@>
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
He love like the leaves now has withered and gone.
The roses have faded, there's frost at my door
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry.
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if You hear me please hold to my hand
Oh, please understand.
Oh, where has he gone to, oh, where can he be
He may have forsaken some other like me
He promised to honor, to love and obey
Each vow was a plaything that he threw away.
The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance is starting to "BAY"
I wonder, I wonder what he's thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten without any love.
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if You hear me please hold to my hand
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if You hear me please hold to my hand
Oh, please understand.
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Angel_Eyes.txt#@>
Angel eyes, angel eyes
The ways of the world are feeble
Don't give up on simple people
Angel eyes.......
The blues you can live without
It's not what you song's about
Angel eyes, angel eyes
Tell me what would we do without
No light from angel eyes
You can move the hearts of men
Just with a phrase you're turning
Since hearts ever have been yearning......... and so alone
Thin lines you've been living on
Are so close to the danger zone

(Rodney Crowell)
In this modern world we're livin'
The rules ain't like they've ever been
Speakin' of spreading it thin
That's what you do, flashing your soul
That ain't no way to treat your lover
Ain't no way to act with feelings
Baby, better start turnin' em down
Now it's a brave new wave we're roarin' in
Hanging out, out on the rock 'n roll fringe
Speaking of running around
All over town, lettin' it show
That ain't no way to treat your lover
Ain't no way to act in public
Baby, don't better start turnin' em down, start to turnin' down
Sure is clear ain't nothin' easy any more
Sure gets cloudy when I look in all directions
Sure is rainin' like this feeling in my heart
Sure is crazy how you're acting
In this latest craze or current trend
Burnin' money every way that you can
Speakin' of goin' for broke
That's how it is and lettin' it slow
That ain't no way to treat your lover
Ain't no way to act with strangers
Baby, you'd better start turnin' em down, start to turnin' down
Baby, better start turnin'
Baby, better start turnin' 'em down
Baby, better start turnin'
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Ballad_Of_Sally_Rose.txt#@>
Her mama picked him up in south Minnesota
He promised her the world but they never got that far
For he was last seen in that '59 DeSota
When Sally was born in the black hills of Dakota
She was washed in the blood of the dying Sioux nation
Raised with a proud but a wandering heart
And she knew that her roots were in the old reservation
But she had stars in her eyes and graeter expectations
No rings on her fingers no bells on het toes
With bugs on her headlights
And runs in her hose
Through the valley of the shadow of Roosevelt's nose
Adios, South Dakota, adios Sally Rose
They've got a national monument carved out of stone
On the side of a mountain where her forefathers roamed
Playing cowboys and Indians right under the nose
Of Theodore Roosevelt and the sweet Sally Rose
So she left Rapid City in the blue moonlight hour
With her eye on the highway and her foot on the floor
And turnin' the dial she was pulled by the power
Of the word coming out of that broadcasting tower
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Beachcombing.txt#@>
They say there's wreckage washing up all along the coast
No one seems know too much, or got hit the most
Nothing has been spoken, there's not alot to see
But something has been broken, that's how feels to me
We had a harmony, I never meant to small boats
Lying out in the water, like a slick of oil
Tide is running out to sea, under a darkening sky
The night is falling down on me, and I'm a thinking that I should head on
Head on home (been gone to long)
Gone too long, leave my roam
Beachcomb
Little wild kitten out hunting, see what he can get
You're in a big city, that won't stop growing yet
The sun is goin' down smokin', a flaming testiment
Something has been broken, and it feels permenant.
The little seabird flying, he knows were he wants to go
Quess I ought to pack my stuff, and do the thing I know
Turn around and head on back, along the old sea walls
I felt somthing give and crack, and now I'm sorry that's all head on
Head on home (been gone to long)
Gone too long, leave my roam

I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time
But that was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine
But that was before I met you
I thought I was swingin' the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
Well, I wanted to ramble and always be free
But that was before I met you
I said that no woman could ever hold me
But that was before I met you
I thought I was swingin' the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
They tell me I must reap just what I have sown
But darlin', I hope that's not true
'Coz once I made plans about livin' alone
That was before I met you
I thought I was swingin' the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
And I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you

Room 16, the palms motel
Now I can rest behind that door
My life with you's become a living hell
Don't want to live like that no more
And whatever it will take
I will do to make this final break
Yeah, better off without you
Better off without you
Better off without you in my life
So I'll unpack my bag
And kick off these old shoes
This room is a good as anyplace I've ever been
For lookin' at the truth
Now it's all so clear to me
What a blind man could plainly see
Yeah, better off without you
Better off without you
Better off without you in my life
Oh, god, here comes the tears
I'm gonna stay right here
I'll cry. I've cried before
But I won't go back no more
Looks like a change in the weather
I can hear it start to rain
I hope it's not too long this time
Before the sun comes out again
But if it rains forever
I will still be better off
Yeah, better off without you
Better off without you
Better off without you in my life
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Darkest_Hour_Is_Just_Before_Down.txt#@>
(Ralph Stanley)
The sun is slowly sinkin'
The day's almost gone
Still darkness falls around us
And we must journey on
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn
Like a shepherd out on the mountain
A-watchin' the sheep down below
He's coming back to claim us
Will you be ready to go
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul
Let Jesus in
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The darkest hour is just before dawn
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Diamond_In_My_Crown.txt#@>
As each long day rolls by and falls behind me
In the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've found
Tho' I'm weary even then
When I rise to start again
Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
I have wasted all that life has laid before me
I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown
But I shall not disavow
All these ties that bind me now
Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
Shinning down some day I know
Brighter than all their streets of gold
When the burdens that I carry I will lay down
And the sorrows I have known
I'll see them all be overthrown
Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
Through the passing of the years I will grow stronger
Just as sure as this old world keeps spinning 'round
Then the closer I will be
To my sweetest victory
Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Easy_For_You_To_Say.txt#@>
These things happen
Love never comes with a guarantee
No hard meetings
But it looks like this love was never meant to be
That's easy for you to say
You've got another who's willing and waiting for you
That's easy for you to say
You're not the one with the heart that's breaking in two
You tell me it's better this way
That's easy for you to say
There'll be changes
Times never been known to ever stand still
Lonely losers
Hold to a promise they'll never fulfill
That's easy for you to say
You've got another who's willing and waiting for you
That's easy for you to say
You're not the one with the heart that's breaking in two
You tell me it's better this way
That's easy for you to say
You tell me you know hat it's wrong
To walk out this way
But in time my true love will come
And I'll thank you some day
That's easy for you to say
You've got another who's willing and waiting for you
That's easy for you to say
You're not the one with the heart that's breaking in two
You tell me it's better this way
That's easy for you to say
That's easy for you to say
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Easy_From_Now_On.txt#@>
There he goes gone again
Same old story's gotta come to an end
Lovin' him was a one way street
But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet
Quarter moon in a ten cent town
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night gonna make myself a name
Take a month of Sundays to try and explain
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy from now on
Raw as whip but clean as a bone
Soft to touch when you take me home
When the mornin' comes and it's time for me to leave
Don't worry 'bout me, I got a wild card up my sleeve
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy from now on
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Goodbye.txt#@>
I remember holdin' on to you,
All them long and lonely nights I put you through.
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry,
But I can't remember if we said goodbye.
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again.
Was I just off somewhere or just too high?
But I can't remember if we said goodbye.
I only miss you every now and then,
Like the soft breeze blowin' up from the Caribbean.
Most Novembers I break down and cry,
Cause I can't remember if we said goodbye.
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico,
One place I will never go in my life again.
Was I just off somewhere or just too high?
But I can't remember if we said goodbye.
No I can't remember if we said goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.

(Rodney Crowell)
When you look at me
Like you don't know me
And you talk to me
Like you've never met me
I can leave you alone if I try
If I tried I could tell you goodbye
If I wanted to
I could be long gone
And I don't have to crawl
Then you call on me
As if I should run to you
You make your move
As if I should follow you
Well I don't have to be nobody's fool
I won't make no exception of you
I don't have to be nobody's fool
I don't make no exception of you
I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away
No I don't have to crawl
I don't have to get down on my knees
I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away
No I don't have to crawl
<@#Emmylou_Harris_I_Dont_Wanna_Talk_About_It_Now.txt#@>
God knows how I love you
Like a user needs a drug
And I'll never be free of ya
You are poison in my blood
I tried to swim that river
And get to higher ground
I been three times under
The next one'll see me drown
But I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I want to go down
God knows why you don't want me
No one would do the things I do
But to my grave it's gonna haunt me
How I got down on my knees for you
You are my obsession
And the reason that I live
You alreday got my soul
There's nothin left to give
But I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I want to go down
The devil is deep water baby
And I'm in way over my head
But I'd be drawn and quartered
If I could keep you in my bed
I can't break this spell
I know the trouble that I'm in
But If I got out of the mouth of hell
I'd walk right back again
But I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I want to go down

I hear a call
Now will answer
Forsake my all
To serve another
Though darkness falls
Stay a believer
I hear a call
Now will answer
I see a light Now will I follow
Fill up this life
That grows more hollow
Make joy reside
Where there lives sorrow
I see a light
Now will follow
I hear a call
From out of nowhere
And from anywhere I go
I hear a call
Now will answer
I feel a touch
Now will I hold on
Be there with love
For those with no one
With a kindness such
It lives though I'm gone
I feel a touch
Now will I hold on
I hear a call
From out of nowhere
And from everywhere I go
I see a light
Now will I follow
I feel a touch
Now will I follow
I hear a call
Now will I answer

At my door the leaves are falling
The cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone
I go out to wild the parties
And look for a little fun
But I find the darkened corner
'Cause I still miss someone
Though I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry for
For leaving what we had begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone
Though I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry for
For leaving what we had begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone
<@#Emmylou_Harris_I_Will_Dream.txt#@>
In my imagination
You are my dear companion
And I'm the one you cling to
And your voice still calls my name
Before your heart began to wander
And mine was torn asunder
Before the fairer and the younger
Before the cryin' game
All those girls with their long dark tresses
Waltzing out in their Sunday dresses
All their sweet soft warm caresses
Cannot hold you like l do
And though you say you do notlove me
And your dreams are never of me
I will dream my dream of you
In my dreams you are the swallow
Coming back to Capistrano
And I'm the sound of the bells you follow
But in this world dreams don't come true
Still when you're lost out in the desert
When your fire's a dying ember
The last light you remember
Will be the light l shed for you
Mine is no ordinary star love
I see exactly where you are love
And no one else could shine that far love
To bring you safely through
And though you say you do not want me
And made no promises to haunt me
I will dream my dream of you
The sorrows flow down like a fountain
Over the miles beyond our countin'
More than the flowers of the mountain
Or the raindrops in the sea
But if Heaven's just a dreaming
Surely my love will be redeeming
And you will dream your dream of me
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Kern_River.txt#@>
[Chorus]
I'll never swim Kern River again,
It was there that I met him,
There that I lost my best friend.
Now I live in the mountains
I drifted up here with the wind.
And I may drown in still water,
But I'll never swim Kern River again.
He grew up in an oil town
But that gusher never came in.
And the river was a boundary
Where my darling and I used to swim.
One night in the moonlight,
The swiftness swept his life away.
Now I live on Lake Shasta,
And Lake Shasta is where I will stay.
There's the South San Joaquin
Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found.
And theres a place called Mt. Whitney
From where the mighty Kern River comes down.
Now it's not deep nor wide,
But it's a mean piece of water my friend.
And I may cross on the highway,
But I'll never swim Kern River again.
[Chorus: x2]
No, I'll never swim Kern River again.

For many long years I've played a lone hand
I rode my horse in many strange lands
Until one day I stopped for awhile
For two blue eyes and a sunny smile
So howl away you old coyote
I hear your sad and lonesome song
You're calling me back to old Montana
Back to those hills where I belong
One day I rode away from home
I'm a' traveling back and it won't be long
I'll see you again in a little while
You're my darling sweet, my welcome smile
So howl away you old coyote
I hear your sad and lonesome song
You're calling me back to old Montana
Back to those hills where I belong
So howl away you old coyote
I hear your sad and lonesome song
You're calling me back to old Montana
Back to those hills where I belong

Songbird in a golden cage
She'd prefer the blue
How I crave the liquor of her song
Poor bird who has done no harm
What harm could she do
She shall be my prisoner her life long
My songbird wants her freedom
Now don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
O lord, when your jeweler's eye
Peers into my soul
O lord, I am overcome with shame
Take me lord and purify
Heal me with a word
Lord, I beg a gift I dare not claim
My songbird wants her freedom
Now don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
<@#Emmylou_Harris_Not_Enough.txt#@>
Oh my darling, I miss you so.
How I loved you, you'll never know.
Though it's time for me to let you go.
Oh my darling, I'll miss you so.
Can't believe you're really gone for good.
I still hold on to places you once stood.
I should move on, but I never could,
Really believe you're gone for good.
Oh my friend, what could I do?
I just came home to bury you.
The road is long, the road is rough.
Your in my heart, that's not close enough.
All those years, disappear
All my tears, are not enough, not enough.
How can it be the ties that bind,
Cut down deep and are so unkind?
When we lose them we will never find,
Anything stronger than the ties that bind.
I still have your memory.
One or two pictures of you and me.
Life is long and life is tough,
But when you love someone,
Life is not long enough.

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

I feel so bad, I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday come what may to Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes how happy I'd be
Gonna see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happier then on Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
And that girl of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Some sweet day gonna take away this hurting inside
I'll never be blue my dreams come true on Blue Bayou
<@#Engelbert_Humperdinck_Come_A_Little_Bit_Closer.txt#@>
In a little cafe just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way
She belonged to that man, Jose
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
So we started to dance
In my arms, she felt so inviting
That I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss so exciting
Then I heard the guitar player say
"Vamoose, Jose's on his way"
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
Then the music stopped
When I looked the cafe was empty
Then I heard Jose say
"Man you know you're in trouble plenty"
So I dropped my drink from my hand
And through the window I ran
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to Joscute, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long

This is our last dance together
Some will never forget
You gave me the love of a lifetime
Not a moment with you I regret
But I'm so afraid of tomorrow
'Cause I got to face it alone
I'm losing my reason for living
I'll be just a man on my own
Oh baby, I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
I hear the music but after it died
I know we'll never share it again
This song we're singing will come to an end
Oh darling, I wish we could dance forever
And spend my life in your arms
Deep down I knew we had no future
What rainy day you would go
I guess I just find you too late girl
And you can't better hurting, I know
Nothing and no one can change you
Until yourself, you're true
But God knows, I always remember
The light in my life, that was you
<@#Engelbert_Humperdinck_I_Dont_Know_How_To_Say_Goodbye.txt#@>
Sometimes at night I don't know why
I get the feeling that I wanna say goodbye
I can see me packin' up a bag and walkin' out the door
I'm goin' back to live the life I used to live before
Out on my own, all by myself
Not takin' care of me or anybody else
But how could I ever word it in the note I'd have write?
Oh, I don't know how to say goodbye
I lie in bed and I'm wide awake
Next to the one whose heart I'd hate to have to break
Then I look into her pretty eyes that don't deserve to cry
And I don't know how to say goodbye
Each time I hold her it's love all over
And in my heart it's understood
I'll never learn how to live without her
And I'd be crazy if I could
She's good to me and I believe
She let me go with it meant happiness for me
Maybe that's the reason why I find my tongue is tied
And I don't know how to say goodbye
Each time I hold her it's love all over
And in my heart it's understood
I'll never learn how to live without her
And I'd be crazy if I could
I love her so I wanna tell her now
I think I'll wake her with a kiss and show her how
And I know she'll whisper in my ear a million reasons why
I don't know how to say goodbye
And when she's layin' in my arms I cannot tell a lie
I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to say goodbye

I thought I knew the way life was meant to be
But now there's you, my foolish games are through
Now at last I have found just what makes
This whole world turn around

Love is all as long as I shall live
So take it all and I'll always be there
When you call my name
I know, know that love is all
Every night I longed to hold you tight
Until the morning light shines in your eyes
So love me now, we'll get along some how
Won't you please take my hand?

It was too hot to thing us sweeping, tossing and turning
Waiting for a girl like you feeling lonely
I am lost in the sea of love, It's only you that I am

I don't know what I would do if I had to live my life
Without you
Oh I wish it was a magic night, So we can dance to the
Morning light
Moving together body and soul, Body and soul under the

Oh I wish this was a magic night, So we can dance into

Moving together body and soul, body and soul
What wonderful moments we had, moments of passion
Never thought I'd ever be live so lonely
I am lost in the sea of love, It's only you that I am
Thinking how
I don't know what I would do if I have to live my life
Without you
Oh I wish it was a magic night, So we can dance to the

Never thought I heard you say
Baby, it's over I just can't take it
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Only want to be with you
Now you, pretending I just can't fake it
Lying here on my own, I'm trying
Looking for some way to stop it dying
I'm only a lonely child
Inside a lonely man
Lost in an endless night
Drowning in tears
Only a lonely child
Inside a lonely man
Caught in the morning light
Fighting the fears
Walking down a country lane
Getting cold in the rain
Darling I can't stop remembering
When I took your photograph
You never used to want to laugh
But I think your smile is the sweetest thing
Lying here all on my own I'm trying
Looking for some way to stop it dying

ONLY LOVE
WRITERS MARK SPIRO, ROBBIE BUCHANAN
I see the distant lights ahead
Another hour or so, and I'll be back in bed
I guess I really thought
That I was gone for good
But you know I never could
I count the headlights passing by
With every one I find
Another reason why
You'll be sound asleep
And I'll look a fool
How could I be so cruel?
Only love could make me turn around
And make these tears come tumbling down
Only love
Only love could make you stay with me
I doubt myself but you believe
Only love
I wish that I could be that strong
To see me as I am,
And love me right or wrong
I guess I'm still afraid
To only say goodbye
So I keep it all inside
Only love...
[Chorus]
So I try to run, but no matter what I do
I know it's true: I can't go on without you
Only love...

PORTOFINO
WRITERS MARK SPIRO, JACK WHITE
Long ago I used to know where love was found, A place in the sun
Long before this heart of mine had broken down You were the one
But now you're a lonely memory My heartache will never end
Though all of those nights are far away I wish I were with you again.
Portofino I still remember the sun in your hair
Portofino mariachi music that danced in the air
Portofino I want you back in my arms
'Cause every time I close my eyes I'm holding you in the dark
In Portofino where you broke my heart.
I think of your face and still it can take my breath away After so long
And though I'll be lonely living for only yesterday I'll get along
Though now you're a faded memory My heartache will never end
This unforgotten melody keeps playing over and over again
Portofino I still remember the sun in your hair
Portofino mariachi music that danced in the air
Portofino I want you back in my arms
'Cause every time I close my eyes I'm holding you in the dark
In Portofino where you broke my heart
In Portofino where you broke my heart.

Why are the stars so bright
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you
Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For the world, you and me
I know why my world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It is the same old story
Through all eternity
Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to love
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world, there is you
I care not what the world may be saying
Without our love, there is no day
So love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
I care not what the world may be saying
Without your love, there is no day
So love, this is my song
Here is my song, a serenade to you

See myself, I'm over me
I need space for my desires
Have to dive into my fantasies
I know as soon as I'll arrive
Everything is possible
Cause no one has to hide
Beyond the invisible
Close your eyes
Just feel and realize
It is real and not a dream
I'm in you and you're in me
It is time
To break the chains of life
If you follow you will see
What's beyond reality

Hello and welcome, at your risk.
You're always welcome, without guarantee
If you're so brave to face this tide
There is no mercy in this life
Now it's time to feel that it's here
What is fiction and what's reality
Hello and welcome, just look at me
Think about the future, its still traveling
Too much confidence on what you have
They ain't are dear to feel this safe
Overload your destiny and you'll wake up behind it
Hello and welcome (welcome, welcome)
But its your risk
Your always welcome (welcome)
To win your reality (hello hello hello and welcome)
Just look at me
Think about the future
It's still traveling (hello)
Hello, Just look at me
Just look at me
Its your destiny

<@#Enigma_I_Love_You..._Ill_Kill_You.txt#@>
I see love, I can see passion
I feel danger, I feel obsession
Don't play games with the ones who love you
Cause I hear a voice who says
I love you, I'll kill you
Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room
Look into the mirror of your soul
Love and hate are one in all
Sacrifice turns to revenge and believe me
You'll see the face who'll say,
I love you, I'll kill you,
But I'll love you forever
Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room
<@#Enigma_Shadows_In_Silence.txt#@>
Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
Passion chokes the flower
'til she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for more
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
I can't help this longing
Comfort me
I can't hold it all in
If you won't let me
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
I have seen you
In this white wave
You are silent
You are breathing
In this white wave
I am free

Good evening
This is the voice of enigma
Feel your body
Start to move slowly
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
Feel your body
Start to move slowly
Start to move slowly
Very slowly
The screen behind the mirror, the voice and the snake
Principles of lust, the eyes of truth, TNT for the brain
Turn around and I will show you something
Turn around and you will see
Life, like a real way out, a kind of LSD
Turn around, you're feeling all the changes
Turn around and you will feel
You'll reach your holiness
You are a part of me
Turn around and I will show you something
Turn around and you will see
Life, like a real way out, a kind of LSD
Turn around, you're feeling all the changes
Turn around and you will feel
You'll reach your holiness
You are a part of me
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
Be your guiding light

Come on!
It is you and me...
I see you standin' there
And I'm watchin' every move you make
I'm just waiting for the moment to... walk up to you... and tell the truth
You will understand
Something about you makes me lose control
Takes my thoughts into another world
Where you touchin' me and you can't let go...
I see you standin'
Across a floor
I'm comin' to ya... to ya... to ya...
Baby I... I'm gonna make you feel alive
Ohh... I'm standin' right in front of you... all you have to do
Is see it... see it... see it...
Baby I... You know I make you feel alive
Ohh... Love's right in front of you... all you have to do
Is see it... see it... see it...
Sometimes I try to find
A million reasons not to be with you
Now you are way deep inside of me
And it makes me weak
Ohh I just can't breathe
I see you dancin'
On the floor
I'm comin to you... to you... to you...
Baby I... I'm gonna make you feel alive
Ohh... I'm standin' right in front of you... all you have to do
Is see it... see it... see it...
Baby I... You know I make you feel alive
Ohh... Love's right in front of you... all you have to do
Is see it... see it... see it...
I make you feel alive
Baby I (Baby I...)... I'm gonna make you feel alive (Gonna make you feel

Ohh... I'm standin' right in front of you... all you have to do
Is see it... see it... see it...
Baby I... I... ! You know I make you feel alive (Somethin's wrong with you

Ohh... Love's right in front of you (You're not gonna feel)... all you have to

Ow!
Ha ha ha ha ah
Anything you want,
But never find the heart to leave me,
'Cause I need you too much
So play your game but don't desert me,
Maybe you heard I'm tough
To love but baby please believe me
Don't be afraid to trust me,
I wouldn't trade you for the world,
And if you feel you gotta test me,
Before you be my girl
You can shake me, you can break me,
But you can't make me,
'Cause that the only this I won't,
Do for you
Sometimes I say too much
I am right now so please forgive me
But I can't help but touch
The place I keep inside you in me
I threw away my crutch,
I'm man enough for you, can't you see me?
Don't be afraid to try me,
Come on and give a guy a whirl,
And if you feel you gotta test me,
Before you be my girl
You can shake me,
You can break me,
But you can' t make me
'Cause that's the only thing I won't,
Do for you
Well I was making love inside my mind,
Somebody take me to the other side,
I wanna kiss so deep inside your world,
So don't run away girl
You can shake me,
You can break me,
But you can' t make me,
Cause that's the only thing I won't,
Do for you
You can shake me,
You can break me,
But you can' t make me,
Cause that's the only thing I won't,
Do for you
I'm gonna make you mine
I'd sail a thousand ships to finally kiss your lips
<@#Enrique_Iglesias_California_Callin.txt#@>
Driving through the night,
Tears are running down my face,
I start to realize, all the things that I once said,
I promised you the world
It's nothing more than you deserve
It's killing me inside, to know I put you through this hell,
Take away my heart,
It doesn't want to work no more
I never meant to make you cry,
[Chorus]
California calling 20 miles to go,
And I don't, I don't know,
Should I turn around or should I leave you alone?
No I don't, I don' t know
I don't know,
No I don't know
I'm on the road and it feels so cold outside,
It's driving me insane, to know how much you hurt tonight,
Take away my heart, it doesn't want to work no more,
I never meant to make you cry
[Chorus: x2]
California calling 20 miles to go,
And I don't, I don't know,
Shod I turn around or shod I leave you alone?
No I don't, I don' t know
I don't know,
No I don't know
Gotta keep on moving on [Repeat: x3]
California calling, California calling,
Gotta keep on moving on [Repeat: x3]
California calling, California calling,

Over and over I look in your eyes
You are all I desire
You have captured me
I want to hold you I want to be close to you
I never want to let go
I wish that this night would never end
I need to know
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever
Over and over I've dreamed of this night
Now you're here by my side
You are next to me
I want to hold you and touch you and taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could never end
Oh baby please
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever
I don't want any night to go by
Without you by my side
I just want all my days
Spent being next to you
Lived for just loving you
And baby, oh by the way
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever

They say love is just a game
They say time can heal the pain
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And I guess I'm just a fool
I keep holding on to you
I told you once you were the one
You know that I die for you
Oh, though it hurts to see you go
Oh, this time you should know
I won't try to stop you
Don't you forget about me baby
Don't you forget about me now
Some day you'll turn around and ask me, why did I let you go
So you try to fake a smile
You don't wanna break my heart
I can see that you're afraid
But baby it's to late
'Cause I'm already dying
Don't you forget about me baby
Don't you forget about me now
Some day you'll turn around and ask me, why did I let you go
Don't you forget about me baby
Don't you forget about me now
Some day you'll turn around and ask me, why did I let you go
Why did I let you
Don't you forget about me baby
Don't you forget about me now
Some day you'll turn around and ask me, why did I let you go
Why did I let you go
Wherever I go
I won't forget about you
Oh no, no, no
Wherever you go
Don't you forget about me
<@#Enrique_Iglesias_Love_(Trippin).txt#@>
They say I'm crazy, the way you got me open, baby
They say I'm buggin', the way I'm tight sweatin' your lovin'
They all sit and wonder why the reason this I cannot hide
It ain't a question of pride
They say I'm trippin', the way you got my whole life flippin'
They say I'm losin' it, just can't seem to keep my grip, baby
We all cry when we feel pain, when love is gone we're not the same
It ain't a question of brains
Crazy, the way you got me open, baby
They say I'm buggin', the way I'm tight sweatin' your lovin'
They say I'm slippin' the way you got my whole life flippin'
They say I'm losin' it, just can't seem to get my grip, baby
They all sit and wonder why the reason this I cannot hide
It ain't a question of pride

Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me.
Came back only yesterday
I'm Moving further away
Want you near me.
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you
Sometimes when I think of your name
And it's only a game
And I need you
Listening to the words that you say
Getting harder to stay
When I see you
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you
This is gonna take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door
Repeat (2 times):
All I needed was the love you gave

Once, as my heart remembers,
All the stars were fallen embers.
Once, when night seemed forever
I was with you.
Once, in the care of morning
In the air was all belonging.
Once, when that day was dawning
I was with you.
How far we are from morning,
How far we are
And the stars shining through the darkness,
Falling in the air.
Once, as the night was leaving
Into us our dreams were weaving.
Once, all dreams were worth keeping.
I was with you.
Once, when our hearts were singing,
I was with you.
<@#Enya_If_I_Could_Be_Where_You_Are.txt#@>
Where are you this moment?
Only in my dreams.
You're missing, but you're always
A heartbeat from me.
I'm lost now without you,
I don't know where you are.
I keep watching, I keep hoping,
But time keeps us apart.
Is there a way I can find you,
Is there a sign I should know,
Is there a road I could follow
To bring you back home?
Winter lies before me
Now you're so far away.
In the darkness of my dreaming
The light of you will stay.
If I could be close beside you
If I could be where you are
If I could reach out and touch you
And bring you back home
Is there a way I can find you
Is there a sign I should know
Is there a road I can follow
To bring you back home to me?

Make a wish then close your eyes.
Are you dreaming,
Angels singing,
Everything is right.
It's the magic of the night.
Far horizons made of snow,
Bring the hopes each child will know.
Someone's dreaming,
Bells are ringing,
Everything is white.
It's the magic of the night.
High up in the sky, can you see a shining light?
Can it be that we can see an angel who is flying, flying?
Can an angel lose their way,
Who of us on earth can say?
Someone's dreaming,
Angels singing,
Everything is right.

Longing to sail on
Through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
All through the years
If I could see the world through someone else's eyes
If I could see through you would I cast you to one side
And if you gave it all would I throw it all away
Like the leaves in autumn winds
From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings, warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember, I cannot hide
Not for want of trying
And if you held me here would the moment fade away
Into obscurity like the night becomes the day
For all the broken promises tell me where do I begin
To throw my caution to the wind
From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings, warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember, I cannot hide
Not for want of trying
From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings, warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember, I cannot hide
Not for want of trying
Longing to sail on
Through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
Longing to sail on
Through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
Longing to sail on

Don't you leave me lonely

When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder
Save your tears, don't mean much
Is the guilty party me? I don't think so
And it, it's no bed of roses lying here
Tossing and turning
Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder
And these, these years of love and giving surely
Must be something to you
Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder
Dare to change your mind

Go ahead with your dreamin'
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring
Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea

Go ahead with your dreamin'

Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
Holy Moses our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting only dreaming
We'll be waiting some are praying
For a time when no one's cheating
The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory a dawn chorus
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea

It's enough to hold you here in my arms
The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare as if I don't care
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer
When I was young I was selfish darling I wanted my own way
You were the shock to the system darling
A chance for sudden sway
We all make mistakes I'm all over the place
But you know that I'll be there in the end
The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer
The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer
The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away
<@#Erasure_Man_In_The_Moon.txt#@>
Stories from the deepest part of my heart
Delving under, cause to wonder
Why am I falling apart?
Scattered all around this topsy-turvy room
Will I find the one who takes me there too soon?
When the night is cold and you can't find anything
And your will to survive's at an all-time low
The spirit will fly and return with a new-found energy
So keep it within and delight as your garden grows
Whispered in some lonesome voice, too afraid to come out of the dark
Sinking down into the covers
Sleep to the beat of your heart
Spinning all around this most peculiar room
Will I find the one who takes me there too soon?
Do be kind and civilized and don't descend into the dark abyss
When the night is cold and you can't find anything
And your will to survive's at an all-time low
The spirit will fly and return with a new-found energy
So keep it within and delight as your garden grows
Do be kind and civilized and don't descend into the dark abyss
When the night is cold and you can't find anything
And your will to survive's at an all-time low
The spirit will fly and return with a new-found energy
So keep it within and delight as your garden grows
And the man up in the moon is shining
Good fortune down on me
And the man up in the moon is shining
Sweet love
Sweet love
<@#Erasure_Rock_Me_Gently.txt#@>
Past five in the morning, feeling worse for the weather it seems
But what a feeling, what an endless night this has been
And we can't stay here, 'cause we won't be forever young
We'll have to go down before innocence is lost
And I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms
Woah, woah
I've been getting used to all the crying and the games that you play
And if I carry on I'm going to end up with a hole in my head
And there's more to life than thrills and spills and dollar bills
We'll have to get through, some way and somehow
And I dream I'm with you
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms
I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms
Woah, woah
And I dream I'm with you
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms
I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms
<@#Erasure_Somewhere_Over_The_Rainbow.txt#@>
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
All the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
One day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
All the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
If happy little bluebirds fly
Above the rainbow, why
Oh why can't I?
<@#Erasure_When_Will_I_See_You_Again.txt#@>
When will I see you again?
When will we share precious moments?
Will I have to wait forever?
Will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through?

When will our hearts beat together?
Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?

Oh what a feeling I get when I'm with you
You take my heart into everything you do
And it makes me sad for the lonely people
I walked that road for so long
Now I know that I'm one of the lucky people
Your love is making me strong
[Chorus:]
I've had enough bad love
I need something I can be proud of
I've had enough bad love
No more bad love
And now I see that my life has been so blue
With all the heartaches I had till I met you
But I'm glad to say now that's all behind me
With you here by my side
And there's no more memories to remind me
Your love will keep me alive

Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it
When old man trouble knocks on your door
Don't give him no key, he just wants more
He'll turn your life to misery
Kick you down, just like me
Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine
Woke downhearted and you feel so bad
Somebody wants something of nothing you had
Love don't come too easy, you see
A little bit of you and a little bit of me
Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine

You'll go on back to him, he'll take you in.

'Cause baby you're part of me, it's deep inside of you.
When he's done all he can, you'll come running to your other man, oh yeah.

We took the long way home, you held my hand,
The days so full of all the things we had planned.
We walked beyond the green, beyond the day.
We shared a dream that I let slip away.
I had to find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
You were the man who knew too much to say.
So many things that I learned came your way.
These things I know that I can't forget,
Deep in my heart, they're a part of me yet.
They helped me find myself.
They helped me find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
Too many years rolled by without a word.
I tried to hide behind things that I'd heard.
And now the truth is clear for all to see
That through it all, it was you believed in me.
You helped me find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
I got to find myself.
I got to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.

They tell me five minutes time underwater I was hid.
I was going down and I throwed up my hands.
As I was going down I throwed up my hands.
As I was going down I throwed up my hands,
Saying, "Please Lord, take me on dry land."
Well they carried me in the house and they laid me 'cross the bed.
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed.
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed.
I couldn't hear nothing but muddy water running 'round my head.
Oh my mother often told me, "Quit playing a bum."
My mother always told me, "Quit playing a bum."
Lord, my mother always told me, "Son, quit playing a bum.
Go out somewhere and make a crumb."
All the people on the bridge was screaming and crying.
Well all the people on the bridge was screaming and crying.
All the people on the bridge stood screaming and crying,
Saying, "Lord have mercy, wher's we g'wine?"

At Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
But me and my wife have parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown
Irene goodnight (goodnight Irene)

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dream
Stop your ramblin'
Stop your gamblin'
Stop stayin' out late, late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Sit down by your fireside so bright
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dream
I love Irene and got new I do
Still the sea runs dry
And if Irene ever turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'm so tired of moaning,
Trying to groan away my blues.
I'm so tired of moaning,
Trying to groan away my blues.
I keep weeping and crying
Every time I think of you.
I would rather die of starvation,
Perish out in the desert sun,
I would rather die of starvation,
Perish out in the desert sun,
Than to think of some other man
Holding you in his arms.
My heart gets so heavy
Lord I shakes down in my bones.
My heart gets so heavy,
Lord I shakes down in my bones.
I can't hurt a murderer,
Oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan.
<@#Eric_Clapton_I_Looked_Away.txt#@>
She took my hand
And tried to make me understand
That she would always be there
But I looked away
And she ran away from me today,
I'm such a lonely man.
It came as no surprise to me
That she'd leave me in misery.
It seemed like only yesterday
She made a vow that she'd never walk away.
She took my hand
And tried to make me understand
That she would always be there
But I looked away
And she ran away from me today,
I'm such a lonely man.
And if it seemed a sin
To love another man's woman, baby,
I guess I'll keep on sinning
Loving her, Lord, till my very last day.
But I looked away
And she ran away from me today,
I'm such a lonely man.
<@#Eric_Clapton_I_Wanna_Be.txt#@>
I wander helplessly day by day
It's so much easier to run away
My mind is spent, my body sold
Never knowing which way to go
I'm always there for you, baby
Won't you let me see
If we can get closer every day
I wanna be felt by you
I wanna be touched by you
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be anything you want me to
Don't mean nothing when you're growing old
Nobody knows what the future holds
I am left with a bitter taste
Torn away from that beautiful chase
But I'm always there for you baby
Won't you let me see
If we can get closer every day
I wanna be felt by you
I wanna be touched by you
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be anything you want me to
I wanna be felt by you
I wanna be touched by you
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be anything you want me to
I wanna be felt by you
I wanna be touched by you
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be anything you want me to

It's in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
It's in the way that you use it,
Boy don't you know.
And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don't you ever abuse it,
Don't let it go.
Nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong.
No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone.
[Chorus: x2]
And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don't you ever abuse it,
Don't let it go.
I've seen dark skies, never like this.
Walked on some thin ice, never like this.
I've told you white lies, never like this.
Looked into true eyes, never like this.

Will come and go
You reach for love
But life wont let ya know
That in the end
You'll still be loving her
But then shes gone
You're all alone
Sign of pain
Is on my face, well
My heart beat stops
But I wont take the blame, no no
I gave her all the love I had within
My love was strong
Something went wrong, no! no!
It takes a fool to learn
Yes sir
That love don't love nobody
Love love love love love love
It takes a fool to learn
Yes it does, girl

Oh! Oh no!

When you're down and out, shout about it
That love don't love no more
Tell the world, oh babe
No more

Gotta be more careful about myself

Whoa baby, took me a long time to learn, to learn, well

I remember yet before we met
When every night and day
I had to live the life of a lonely one.
And I remember meeting you,
Discovering love could be so true
When shared by two, 'stead of only one.
When you said you loved me
We could not be parted.
Said, I built my world around you
And I'm truly glad I found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Each night I pray we'll never part
Because the love within my heart
Grows stronger from day to day.
Best I try, hard I try
To reassure and satisfy.
You know I'd be lost if you went away.
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, I know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Don't you know my baby there.

What has life to offer me
When I grow old
What's there to look forward to
Beyond the biting cold
'Cause they say it's difficult
Yes, stereotypical
What's there beyond sleep, eat, work in this cruel life
Ain't there nothing else 'round here but human strife
They say it's difficult
Yes, stereotypical
You gotta be conventional
You can't be so radical
So I sing this song to all of my age
For these are the questions
We've got to face
For in this cycle that we call life
We are the ones who are next in line
We are next in line
What has life to offer me

But please don't leave me
You'll break my heart
Hey, what should I do
Babe, I'm missing you
Please don't disappear
These are the words that you should hear
Time and time again
I wish that you were here
I don't wanna lose you girl
I need you back to me
I don't wanna lose you
Baby can't you see
Oh, I need you
You've been a part of me
I wish someday you'll be back home
Cause I really miss you
Darling, please come home
I wish someday you'll be back home
Cause I really miss you
Darling, please come home
I remember the days
When you're here with me
<@#Erik_Santos_Running_Away.txt#@>
You said that I will always be the one for you
Tell me babe who's that guy you kissed last night
You know how much I really love you
Seems you just can't keep your love from dying tonight
Chorus
Running away from the places and things that make me think of you
But I guess there's just no letting go
All these feelings I ache inside
Running away
I've been trying so hard to keep away from you
Now forgetting you is all I have to do
That's why I'm running away from you
The times that we've been through
Are always on my mind
And I never thought that there would be an end
Oh how I wish that this was all a dream
Hurting me inside all over again
Repeat chorus
After all I gave to you
Your love is still untrue
Now there's nothing I can do
But to run away
Repeat
<@#Erik_Santos_Tears_In_Heaven.txt#@>
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
Cause I know
I don't belong here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Could you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way
Through night and day
Cause I know
I just can't stay
Here in heaven
In my heart, I'll remember
And forever you'll stay
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
I keep begging please
Begging please
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
Beyond the dawn
There's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven
Forever I will Stay
Till we both meet someday

Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone true to love
Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me
Play with fire till your fingers burn
And when there's no place for you to turn
Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me
For, when you hear a call to follow your heart
You'll follow your heart I know
I've been through it all and I'm an old hand
And I'll understand if you go
So make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don't go to strangers, come on to me
Oh, make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me

Good morning heartache, you old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache, thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay
It seems I met you when my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Good morning heartache, what's new
Stop haunting me now
Can't chase you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache, here we go again
Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, sit down
Stop haunting me now
Can't chase you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache, here we go again
Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, sit down

I just needed someone, somebody to hold
When the bottle was empty
And the nights grew cold
In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
You were my angel of mercy
And helped me to believe
You touched my soul
When I was lonely
You held me up
When I couldn't fly
There's no words could explain
How I feel inside
And this I tell you
In a world full of anger
In times gone strange
You held me close
You held me close to you
Lay my head on your shoulder
I finally let it all out
It felt good for a moment
Not living in a shadow of doubt
But everybody needs a little something
To pull them through
I gave one for the other
And God know that the other was you
Now only time will tell
Only time will tell
If our love is scratched in sand
Or if it's etched in stone
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
If our love will stand
Or walk the road alone
My angel of mercy
Pulled me through somehow
I just hope you know
I need you now
You're the one
That touched my very soul
The one who held on tight
God knows you never let go
Now only time will tell
Only time will tell
If our love is scratched in sand
Or if it's etched in stone
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
If our love will stand
Or walk the road alone
Only time will
Only time will
(Can you bring my hands to yours)
Only time will tell
(Can you teach my soul to fly)
Only time will
Only time will
(Can you save me)
Only time will tell
Angel of mercy
It's time we closed the door
Put out the lights
And burn the fire
Burn the fire inside
Angel of mercy
<@#Etta_James_Prisoner_Of_Love.txt#@>
Someone that I belong to
Doesn't belong to me
Someone who can't be faithful
Knows that I have to be
Wonder if I am wrong to give her my loyalty
Why should I be a lone soul
Why can't I be my own soul
Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisner of love
For one comand I stand and wait now
From one who's master of my Fate now
I can't escape for it's too late now
I'm just a prisoner of love
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing
Those arms with me
Although she has another
I can't have another
For I'm not free
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Up on my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love.
Love.

You know my baby told me not so very long ago
He said, "I don't love you, baby
And you got to, you got to let me go"
And that was too much, too much for me
That's why I walked the back streets and cry
You know it hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say
Hear my baby say goodbye
He said another reason that makes me wanna leave
You ain't got enough of nothin' to keep me, keep me ?
That was too much, oh, too much for me
That's why I walked the back streets, the back street and cry
Oh yeah
Oh, it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Oh, to hear my baby
Hear my baby say goodbye
He said, "You're a good woman, Etta
To treat me like you do"
He said, "You ain't done nothin' to me
I just can't stay here with you"
I stood and watch my baby as far as I could see
You know the men started runnin'
After waiving, waiving goodbye to me
That was too much, too much for me
That's why I walked the back streets and cry
Oh yeah
You know it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Oh, to hear my baby
Hear my baby say goodbye
Hear and say goodbye
You know it hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say goodbye
That's why I walked the back streets
The back streets and cry
Oh, I said it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Hear my baby say, so long
Oh, it hurts me, hurts me, hurts me so bad
Hear my baby say, hear my baby say goodbye

I'd bet my soul on a roll of a dice
I hit the ground runnin'
And I never think twice
I'd brave the heat of a
Wild cat fire to satisfy
My animal desire
Can't stop me now
I've set my sights on you
Right to your heart
My aim is true, that's why
All or nothing at all
Is how I feel about it
Won't stand my back to the wall
I'll find my way around it
All or nothing at all
There's nothing I won't do
And the one thing I want
All of is you
Don't want to labor at love
Rather do without
Won't carry the touch
I want to burn down the house
I wanna give you all my lovin'
Baby listen to this
I would never settle for
Anything less
Can't stop me now
Once you've got me goin'
Can't slow me down
I'm driven by your motion
All or nothing at all
Is how I feel about it
Won't stand my back to the wall
I'll find my way around it
All or nothing at all
There's nothing I won't do
And the one thing I want
All of is you

The pressure is mounting,
I'm ready and countin'
There's something I've got to be
I'm fearless, I'm feeling
Scared senseless, who needs this,
Still something I've got to be
There is no going back, this is what we know
We come to entertain, asking you to follow
Be born to self-destruct, here it comes again
A desire to go down in flames
My heart's racing, my legs shakin',
Is more drama in the making
I had a feeling this day would come
So are we really good or just delirious,
But if you stop us now it could get serious
I'm sorry, mama, for what I've become
There is no going back, this is what we know
We come to entertain, asking you to follow
Be born to self-destruct, here it comes again
A desire to go down in flames
You can turn it off, but it never stops,
Madness or not, I risk everything I've got
And if I've got to do it all over again
I'd still believe in these friends
And the mess they get me in
There is no going back, this is what we know
We come to entertain, asking you to follow
Be born to self-destruct, here it comes again
A desire to go down in flames
Flames flames

Now he walks in shadows
He's tryin' to pretend she never walked away
But it's not deceivin'
He's closer to an end he never could foresee
Where love goes
When love dies, heaven knows
But it's more than meets the eye
So much more than just a last goodbye
It's a cold and lonely heart
So sad and torn apart
Yes it's more than meets the eye
Now he's in for trouble
His luck has turned away, nobody seems to care
Well there's a cold moon risin'
And another lonely day has passed and she's not there
Where love goes...
But it's more than meets the eye...

It's the way that we make things right
It's the way that we hold on tight
I know, it's the sigh of the times
It's the way that we make things turn
It's the way that we live and learn
I know, it's the sigh of the times
It wakes him up, he turns around
And now he's gone
He's been waitin' for this moment desperately
Now the time is right, he's turnin' back
He's going home
Yeah it's over now for everyone to see
This is the way it's meant to be
It's the way that we make things right...
And every time it's on my mind
I feel so insecure
It worries me to end up here alone
But every time I realize I need her more and more
I'd never make it on my own
It's the way that we make things right...

When we were young with time to waste
Everything was clear and good
Thought we could live for a thousand years
But yesterday is done and tomorrow's yet to come
You'll never know
Forever
Now that you're gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on forever
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I remember when we were fools
Everything was me and you
Thought we were kings with time to kill
But yesterday is done and tomorrow's yet to come
You live and learn
Some people never take the time to try
The way you live's the way you die
The stuff of life's in short supply
And if it sometimes hits you strong
Remembering that things go wrong
The song of life is just a song
And everything goes on and on

Here she comes that girl with the vampire grin
Looking for a victim to take her in
Brothers in bloods sisters in sin love her

Here she comes that girl with the bloodstained dress
Shot gun humour laden acid test
You could tell by her lips
She could eat the rest just like that
Here she comes that girl with the wicked smile
Beatin' on a pony up a crooked mile
You should see her listen to voodoo child on her back

I can be so free
I can be so free

Now Jerry was no architect
But she sure knew how to put out all the lights
I once watched her walk right
Through a plate glass window
And never even look hack
Now here I am talking about all her good points
I never did think she had any bad
Though friends told me she could be cruel
And vicious
At one time she was the best friend that I had
And I hope she can hear
I hope she feels good
I hope she was the best or everything
And I hope she feels like a million dollars
And I hope she knows I was always honest
Now Jerry was a main-line angel
She never came home at night
She slept where the wind would take her
In her P. V. C thigh length boots
Make-up black and solid
Fingernails bitten by teeth so close
To perfection only marred by
Seven years of obvious fake prescriptions
That were one way or making
Sure that she never saw the daylight
Before wearing her sunglasses over
Breakfast with her Italian girlfriend
In a post blitz kid stupor
Saying "How ya doin', Davy boy"
You know you're such a trooper
And I hope you feel good
And I hope you feel like a million dollars
And I hope you know that I was
Always.... Honest

Well the sound of your voice on the telephone
Make me feel distressed
Make me all alone.
Why do I feel so incomplete?
When you're not here I'm just obsolete.
My bed is burnin' all through the night.
You're the only one that can make me feel right.
Try to lay down my sleepin' head
But I'm tossin' and turnin' around instead.
[Chorus]
I love you like a ball and chain.
(Make it alright now.)
Love you like a ball and chain.
(Feels too good.)
I'm a fool I know but I'm stuck on you.
I'm a fool I know and it's makin' me blue.
There's a river of blood.
There's a river of tears
I've been wasting all these years.

Hanging on my wall
Of a place I've never been to
I'll never make the grade
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
And I can't stop the rain
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
What do the papers say?
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
Get up and go now!

In this town, something's gotta change.
In this town, something's gotta change.
I'm looking at the world,
Looking for a scene,
Waiting for a day,
Filling in time like I'm digging
My own grave
I'll never make the grade
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
And I can't stop the rain
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
What do the papers say?
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
Get up and go now!

Turn it up so I can see it
It's just useless to ignore
We're goin' down, you don't feel it
Turn it around, you don't mean it
And I can't stand it anymore
When the whole world sighs
And it's makin' you so deflated
I've got a life, though it refuses to shine
I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over
I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine
All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness, tenderness
Ooh, it's a cruel place, you never asked to be here
Nobody cares and no one's gonna help you now, oh no
It's dog eat dog, the human race
The only thing they'll do is hate you, hate you
Such a crime to be unkind
You turn your cheek, pretend you're blind
I've got a life, though it refuses to shine
I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over
I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine
All I'm asking for is tenderness, tenderness
I've got a life, though it refuses to shine
I've got a life, it ain't over, it ain't over
I've got a way, it's the only thing that's mine
All I'm asking for is tenderness, a little tenderness
Be strong now baby, oh
Gotta be strong now, baby
Gotta be strong now, baby
Oh, gotta be strong
Strong now baby, oh
Gotta be strong now, baby
Gotta be strong now, baby
Oh, gotta be strong

Nothing to do but work work work
Nothing alas alack
Nowhere to go but out out out
Nowhere to come but back
It's Christmas day in the workhouse
They're handing out lollipops
Progress would be wonderful
If only it would stop
No bees no honey no work no money
Nothing to do but think think think
Nothing alas alack
Nowhere to go for a drink drink drink
Nowhere to come but back
It's Christmas day in the doghouse
Lassie's gone barking mad
Here comes Father Christmas
Handing out lucky bags
No bees no honey no work no money
Nothing to do but work work work
Money
King bank is calling....

Sweetheart
The sun has set
All red and primitive above our heads
Blood stained on an angeless sky
Wipe your tears and let the salt stains dry
Let them all run dry
All run dry...
Sweetheart
Take me to bed
That's where all our prayers are said
Whispered silent in the night
That's how all our dreams take flight
Let them all go by
All go by...
For time will catch us in both hands
To blow away like grains of sand
Ashes to ashes rust to dust
This is what becomes of us
Sweetheart
Send me to sleep
Pray to God our hopes to keep
Take our fears and make us strong
Lead us to where we belong
And let it all go by
All go by...

Spiritual love that's what we need
Spiritual love that's what we always wanted
Spiritual love spiritual love
And we're living in a waste land with a cancer
So deep rooted in the hearts of all men
Whatwe need is a little miracle
Well here is comes
Spiritual love ah the spiritual love
Spiritual love for the good of man
Spiritual love we want a spiritual love
Spiritual love for the spirit of the man
Spiritual love in this world full of politics
Spiritual love in a world full of leaders
Spiritual love we want a spiritual love
Spiritual love we want a spiritual love
And he said I love you
And I said I love you too
To free the world it's an emotion away
To free the world you must free your mind
To free the world in an emotional way
To free the world from the blind leading the blind
Spiritual love ah spiritual love
Spiritual love we want a spiritual love
Spiritual love sing it loud for the spiritual love
Spiritual love that's what we want
To all my enemies
To the power crazed dictators
To all the far flung legionnaires
To all the empty cynics
To all the negative forces in the world
To the non-believers
To the corporation owners
To their guilt ridden sleepless nights
From the seven oceans (poetic license)
From the beautiful mountains
From the birds in the sky
From the animal kingdom

I'd like to build a house
Without any walls
An open paradise
With a waterfall
Life is quite detestable
For some with feeble minds
Who always make the mistake of being someone else
I always make the mistake of being myself
I'd like to make a friend
Without any flaws
Who takes me for what I am
And nothing more
Life must be incredible
For those who stay out late
And always make the mistake of being someone else
I always make the mistake of being myself
They always make the mistake of being someone else
I always make the mistake of being myself
Life must be incredible
For those who stay out late
And always make the mistake of being someone else
I always make the mistake of being myself
They always make the mistake of being someone else
I always make the mistake of being myself

I heard you scratching on my back door
I could smell what you come here for
You brought your politics and glue
And your phoney piece of paper too
Yeah you'll be shaking in your shoes
When I tell everybody the news
The devil's just been using you
The devil's just been using you
The devil's just been using you
The devil's just been using you
I saw you walking all alone
Your face was hollow to the bone
You were talking to St. John about a revolution
That was the kind of trip you're on total destruction
Yeah you'll be turning in your grave
It's just no way to behave
The devil's just been using you
[Bridge:] after instrumental
Yeah you'll be shivering inside
When you realise
The devil's just been using you
The devil's just been using you (repeat)
(chant at end)
Peace will never come into your life if you believe the
Words he whispers in your mind it's just a piece of
Conciousness that hangs around to let us know that
Love is waiting to embrace us all

A whole heap of nothing
For you and me
Take me to the desert
Take me to the sand
Show me the colour of your right hand.
Love is a temple
Love is a shrine
Buy some love at the five and dime
A little bit of love
From the counter store
Get it on credit if you need some more.
I'll the figure of your disgrace
A criss cross pattern upon your face
A woman's just too tired to think
About the dirty old dishes in the kitchen sink.
I wish I was invisible
So I could climb through the telephone
When it hurts my ear
And it hurts my brain
And it makes me feel too much
Too much too much too much.
Don't cut me down
When I'm talking to you
'Cause I'm much too tall
To feel that small.
Love is a temple
Love is a shrine
Love is pure
And love is blind
Love is a religious sign
I'm gonna leave this love behind.
Love is hot and love is cold
I've been bought and I've been sold
Love is rock and love is roll
I just want someone to hold.
<@#Evanescence_Angel_Of_Mine.txt#@>
You are everything I need to see
Smile and sunlight makes sunlight to me
Laugh and come and look into me
Drips of moonlight washing over me
Can I show you what you want from me
Angel of mine, can I thank you
You have saved me time and time again
Angel, I must confess
It's you that always gives me strength
And I don't know where I'd be without you
After all these years, one thing is true
Constant force within my heart is you
You touch me, I feel I'm moving into you
I treasure every day I spend with you
All the things I am come down to you
Angel of mine
Let me thank you
You have saved me time and time again
Angel, I must confess
It's you that always gives me strength
And I don't know where I'd be without you
Back in the arms of my angel
Back to the peace that I so love
Back in the arms of my angel I can finally rest
Giving you a gift that you remind me
Angel of mine
Let me thank you
You have saved me time and time and time and time again
Angel, I must confess
It's you that always gives me strength
And I don't know where I'd be without you
Angel of mine
Can I thank you
You have saved me time and time again
Angel, I must confess
It's you that always gives me strength
And I don't know where I'd be without you

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name
I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

Hi I'm Robby's sister, I guess that's plain to see
When we watch cartoon cartoons, I'm happy as can be
I think samurai Jack is cool, And Dexter's laboratory
I miss watching power puff, I miss watching T. V.
Well livin' the tour bus ain't that bad
But I feel like I lost all that, I have
On Cartoon Network, I miss you so
On Cartoon Network, where did you go
Grim and evil, how I love that little brain
Johnny Bravo, can I smack you once again?
I hope you've learned a lesson here
Treasure what you have, don't make the mistake I made
The rockstar life is sad
Well, livin' on the tour bus is, pretty bad
And now I'm sure I know, the meanin' in my life
The love within my soul
The reason I wake up each day, and it's:
Cartoon Network, I miss you so
My Cartoon Network, where did you go
My Cartoon Network

Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home
[Chorus]
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
Some say I'm crazy for my love, oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side, oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me
[Chorus]
And I can't love you, anymore than I do

Fall Into You
David Hodges feat. Amy Lee
Seems so far
That I have gone down this road
Only to find that it ends
But lookin' back
There is one thing that I know
I can't make it all alone again
'Cause I'm too weak to stand on my own
But all I need is you
[Chorus:]
So lead me
Guide me
Hold me
Hide me in love
With all that you are
And all that you do
Hear me
Take me
Mold me
Break me, oh God
Just fill all of me
As I fall Into you
Just catch me as I fall
But all this time
I have felt so alone
Losing myself in my despair
With loving arms
You were waiting for me to let go
With every step
You were there
'Cause I'm too weak to stand on my own
When all I need is you
[Chorus:]
Oh my child
How I have longed
For you to come home
To where you belong
All of your life
If you could just see
All of my joy
When you are here with me (X2)
Hear me Take me
Mold me
Break me, oh god
Just fill all of me
As I fall into you
<@#Evanescence_Going_Under.txt#@>
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
Fifty thousand tears I've cried
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
(I'm going under)
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again
I'm going under, (going under)
Drowning in you, (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever, (falling forever)
I've got to break through, I'm going under
Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm dying again
I'm going under, (going under)
Drowning in you, (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever, (falling forever)
I've got to break through, I'm
So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe I can't keep going under
I'm dying again
I'm going under, (going under)
Drowning in you, (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever, (falling forever)
I've got to break through, I'm going under
Going under
I'm going under
<@#Evanescence_Missing.txt#@>
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll have woke up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
[Chorus]
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out:
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
[Chorus]
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something
[Chorus]
<@#Evanescence_New_Way_To_Bleed.txt#@>
Save your twisted enemy
So you might earn forgiveness
You know you're whole world is waiting
So why can't you speak?
I feel it coming over me
I'm still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything?
Or just a new way to bleed?
So go and tell all your friends
That I'm a failure underneath
If it makes you feel like a bigger man
But it's my, my heart, my life
That you're calling a lie
I've played this game before
And I can't take anymore
I feel it coming over me
I'm still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything?
Or just a new way to bleed?
I've drifted far beyond the end
Freedom!
Freedom!
Can't you feel the ground caving in?
Freedom!
Give us a reason to believe again
I feel it coming over me
I'm still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything?
Or just a new way to bleed?

Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all god damn night
She was an American girl
American girl

She lost her focus yesterday
She lost her focus in the sun
She sits and stares at it for hours
She says she likes to go outside
She gets hung up on the wind
She gets lost inside the happy noise
Sometimes I don't understand her
Sometimes I don't want to
Understand her
She says no no no no
She don't want no double life
She says I should know why
She seems happier at night
Her color TV and her chemical smile
I don't want to know the reason
I don't want to know the reason why
She says
Jesus owes her money
She says
That the angels are her friends
What in the hell does that mean?
She's got the chemical smile

I shake the dust from this small town
I turn and follow the western wind down
I go and pack up my shiny things
And go yeah just go
I'll find a new life in old L.A.
Yeah stupid happy with everything
I pulled myself down so easily
I know I know I know
I met Electra when living down
Saw her spinning around and around
I never knew much about her past
I knew enough that I didn't ask
living isn't a simple thing
I know
No one ever said it's supposed to be
I know
July she lied
Living isn't a simple thing for me
I know ways to make it easier

Not going to break
Don't die don't give in to it no way no way
Please don't leave me
Evergleam and I know how pulling hair and breaking voices
Spin the wheel it will give you now
Spinning wills don't give you choices
Give away the spark inside, you give away the shining prize
Evergleam and I know how it isn't real and I'm not going to break
I'm not going to break
No way, I'm not gonna break
I'm not gonna break
No way

No way, no way, no way

Jessie was the prom queen back in nineteen ninety-five
Punk and super pretty like a goddess on the outside
She was sweet and funny, popular and cool
It's got to be a drag when you peak in high school
She left college and she never went back
She posed for Playboy, made her think that she could act
Ten years looking for the luck
Chased her dreams in Cali but her acting kinda sucked
Now she's pushing thirty five, working at Starbucks
Oh well, nowhere to go but up
Bill and Bobby Ann, Tiffany and Mike
They seemed to be the kids that did everything right
Now the boys are doing time for robbing a Korean store
The girls smoke pot and do internet porn
Bobby's little brother Brett always talked smack
He learned that you can go too far and never get back
He was drinking at the wrong place at the wrong time
He said the wrong thing to the wrong guy
He got himself stabbed in his one good eye
Life goes south when pretty goes away
The best that you can get is when you're falling in a good way
Good enough is never enough
Good enough is never enough
There was nowhere to go but up
There was nowhere to go but up
There was nowhere to go
Jimmy found God, Jimmy lost a leg
Amy married well to a man she hates
Katie bought a strip club, makes a lot of dough
Alex sold drugs now he has his own reality show
Life goes south when pretty goes away
The best that you can get is when you're falling in a good way
Life goes south when pretty goes away
The best that you can get is when you're falling in a good way
Good enough is never enough
Good enough is never enough
Good enough is never enough
There was nowhere to go but up

You'll get mad at me
No I don't want to think
About the bad times
Anyone could have a bad year.
Now I don't want you to show me
I do not want you to know me
The way I used to be
All these good things we have
Would not mean a damn to me
And I don't want to hear those words
You feel you have to say
When you find out how I used to be
Back in the day
Yeah, you know
I like the way you slide
Yeah, yes I like it when
You do that slow glide
Please don't bad talk all those good times
Don't ask around cause baby
That you do not want to hear
I don't want you to make me
Do not need you to break me
Of all my childish ways
I'm still the same you know
Dumb, rock hard and good to go
I still hear them voices calling me
From back in the day
Oh baby can't you see
There ain't no place I'd rather be
Then watching dirty movies
In that happy room with you
Sitting on that mattress in the corner
Eating Chinese food
I hear that voice in my head
Say here we go again
Ooh now here we go again
I know you like the way I rock
Sometimes I just need to drown out
All that bad talk
Yeah, I could not care less
What your friends say
Someone's always talking shit
About the old days
You do not need to remind me
That I left it all behind
Things I used to do
I don't want that other life
Cause I am so in love with you
I can barely hear it calling me
From back in the day
Oh baby can't you see
There ain't no place I'd rather be
Then watching dirty movies
In that happy room with you
Sitting on that mattress in the corner
Eating Chinese food
I hear that voice in my head
Say here we go again
Yeah here we go again
Oh baby here we go again
Baby baby can't you see
Yes I know you got some doubts
I know you don't believe
I know you think I'm crazy
And I know you're just like me
When I hear that voice inside me
Makes me want to jump right in
Saying here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go again

Yes in that nasty little room
Sit on that mattress while
We eat that greasy Chinese food

Splinter out of myself just like mercury

You were lying in bed and I would levitate
I think it's better here than where we used to be
I wish I could go out into the Oregon sun to be alive in the day
I would smile at everyone
I remember you back in '83 you were dressing insane
You were my everything you were so different from all those other

A blind Electra in drag so cool and casually lame
I think I'm better now than how I used to be
Always nervous and weird, scared most of the time
I think it's better now than how it used to be
Always up in the night afraid to live in the day
Afraid of being afraid
Afraid to live in the day
Afraid of being afraid
Now I sit alone when you're not around
I read aloud just to hear a friendly voice
I see you scary dolls they always look at me
From the corner of my eyes I see them shake their heads
You know I want to be the way you me to
Big hearted and tall enough to cover you

I've been an angel all year

Come and trim my christmas tree
With some decorations bought at tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me too

I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
I will try and shake away this disease

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
I am still dreaming of you face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
[Chorus: x4]
Yeah watch the world die
Yeah watch the world die
Yeah watch the world die
Yeah watch the world die
<@#Everclear_Shes_So_High_Above_Me.txt#@>
She's so high above me
She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound
But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen
Chorus:
'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me
First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything
What could a guy like me ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother?
[Chorus:]
She calls to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal
'Cause somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen
[Chorus:]

We were fading
Like the bottom of a bad dream
We were heading south
Looking for a good time
Faces look so pretty
In the spotlight
All blown out
And bathed inside a world of white
Sometimes I feel like I am holding it together
Sometimes I feel like everything is fine
Sometimes I feel like I'm out of control
I feel like I am falling
Like my life is on a slide, slide
Slide
Slide
Slide
Slide
It was sunny on the streets
Down there by the water
We would get hammered on the beach
Right down by the water
She was slightly out of reach
A rich man's only daughter
I think she slept with me
Just so she could piss off her father
I am elastic I am easy with the damage
I am ecstatic I am hungry for the climb
Sometimes I feel like I am falling apart
I feel like I am falling
Like my life is on a slide, slide
Slide
Slide
Slide
I know it's wrong but
I just can't seem to act my age
I know it's wrong but
I just can't seem to control my rage
My heart is racing and
I am losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like my life is on a slide
Slide
Those faces look so scary
In the harsh light
All blown out
And bathed inside a world of white
We were shining
Like the good part of a bad time
We were laughing, happy
Just to be along for the ride
Sometimes I feel like I am really lucky
I have made it through
Bruised and scarred
And half alive
Sometimes I feel like I'm out of control
I feel like I am falling
Like my life is on a slide
Slide
Slide
Slide
Slide
Yes I know it's wrong but
I just can't seem to act my age
Yes I know it's wrong but
I just can't seem to control my rage
My heart is racing and
I am losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like my life is on a slide

I know a couple who are in love living in the best of times
A truer love you will never know
Right next to a pain they'll never realize
Sheltered from it in a loving glow
Young and happy and oh so politically correct
Just get it if you need it now
Just go buy it if you need it in your life
Don't you worry if it all runs out
Don't worry because it never will
I know a young girl living in the shadow of the kind of life that she
Could never make
She takes it all and gives it back in love to handsome artists in her
Native state
She is the angel of the loser and the disenchanted soul
Just get it if you need it now
Just buy it if it makes you happy
Don't you worry if it all runs out
Don't worry because it never will
Just get it if you need it now
I know a couple who are in love living in the best of times
<@#Everclear_Wishing.txt#@>
Standing outside your door
I look crazy to the world
I have been to this place before
The right guy for the wrong girl
I wish that I could wake up from a dream that I just don't wanna believe
Down sitting here waiting for you
And I know you are walking away from me
I don't wanna say the words that everyone seems to know
I put you in that room with me
Wipe away where I go
I wish I could wake up from a dream that I just don't wanna believe
That I gave a beautiful freak like you power and control all over me
Please don't leave me
Please don't go
I don't wanna be alone
Wishing don't count for much
When that thing you want is gone
I refuse to believe in luck
Now when it comes to my luck
I wish I could wake up from a dream that I just don't wanna believe
That all the bad things I've done in my life are coming back to torture me
Please don't leave me
Baby please don't go
I don't wanna be alone
Please don't leave me
Baby please don't go
I don't know how to be alone
One two three
You walked into my life like you walked into a crowd
Obsessed on how you obsessed on me
I wish that I could see what you saw in me
All the things you said you liked so much
And other things you say you hate
Yeah and now all I wanna do is start over again
And all I wanna do is try to make you wanna stay
I'm sorry to sound so lame
But you left it way too late
You're telling what I need to say
That will make you wanna stay
Please don't leave me
Please don't go, please don't go
Please don't tell me that I stand up for you to go
Please don't leave me
Please don't go, please don't go
Please don't tell me that it's tearing for you to go
I don't know how to be alone
I dont' know how to be alone
I don't know how to be alone
Ooh, please don't be cruel
Please don't do to me the horrible things that I did to you
<@#Everclear_Your_Arizona_Room.txt#@>
Just another night in a bar somewhere
Just another blonde girl
Such a pretty blonde girl
I saw a light behind those cold dark eyes that you show to a cold dark world
Then something came over me
When I touched your face
It took me to a place that I've been afraid to go
Everytime we talk I find another piece of the puzzle of me
That I never really got to know
Sometimes it is so easy to believe that a broken thing can never be whole
Just another night in a hotel room
Just another bad dream
Can you believe? I had another bad dream
We were high on a hill above a big black cloud that turned into a swarm of
bees
Then something came over me
Then you held my hand and they faded into summertime when you smiled at me
Every time we talk, I find another piece of the puzzle of me
That I never really got to know
Sometimes it is so easy to believe that a broken heart can never be whole
Give your heart to me, I will give my heart to you
If you believe in me, I'll do anything you want me to do
We can stay in bed until the sun turns into the moon
I will hold you and smile safe in your Arizona room
Inside your Arizona room
There is nothing I'd rather do than be alone with you inside your Arizona room
There is nothing I'd rather do than waste away the day inside your Arizona
room
There is nothing I'd rather do
There is nothing I'd rather do than spend the day alone with you
If you give your heart to me, I will give my heart to you
If you believe in me, I'll do anything you want me to do
We can stay in bed until the sun turns into the moon
I will hold you and smile safe in your Arizona room
Inside your arizona room
There is nothing I'd rather do
Inside your arizona room
There is nothing I'd rather do
We can waste away the day
We can waste away the day
Inside your arizona room
There is nothing I'd rather do
There is nothing I'd rather do than spend the day alone with you
<@#Everlast_2_Pieces_Of_Drama.txt#@>
Two pieces of drama, the hammer's bout to fall
Two pieces of drama, there's gunplay in the hall
Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire
Two pieces of drama, boy you know not to play with fire
He rocks a big blue ? cable, a ping pong table for a ring
He's mentally unstable, to him murder it ain't no thing
He'll do you dirty style, he's holding dirty vile
He's out pumping on the corner, trying to stay warm and keep it cool like
Miles
He keeps it fundamental
He's got the jeans and the bubblegoose on
There's murder on his mental
He's got the deuce deuce in his palm
And y'all know the fable, how Cain did Abel
Ever since the beginning, the world keeps spinning just like a turntable
Two pieces of drama, the hammer's bout to fall
Two pieces of drama, there's gunplay in the hall
Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire
Two pieces of drama, boy you know not to play with fire
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la
When it's selling out back, likes to pump crack
To the fiends that be getting high
He keeps a hand on the pump, he's ready to dump
On any chump that would even try
He got a finger on the trigger, he ain't scared to pull it
Head full of liquor, boy you might catch a bullet
The hoes in the stable and drugs on the table
Everybody's sittin' round watchin' cops on the cable
Dressed like a slob, keeps his hair braided
He's never been robbed, he's only been raided
He's never known joy, the boy is so jaded
He's never been loved, he's only been hated
His soul's on ice, his heart is stone
Just another dead king rotting on his throne
With a pain that would cut you down to the bone
You're born alone, boy, you die alone
Two pieces of drama, the hammer's bout to fall
Two pieces of drama, there's gunplay in the hall
Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire
Two pieces of drama, boy you know not to play with fire
Two pieces of drama, the hammer's bout to fall

Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire

When I'm busting up the party hear my engine rev
With high resolution in the late p.m.
X-Men scratch this beat while I drop this gem
Got tints on my window so you can't see in
"Pack it up, pack it in" baby once again
Ain't no way to check me (check me)
No way to wreck me (wreck me)
When shit gets hectic if you disrespect me
While you stare at my knife imma see my life
On the top of the mall, kid can build me right
You know it ain't right, but yo it's ok
Cuz see
This type of shit happens every day
Cuz see

You know

Peckerwoods stats classic like Slim Pickins
Cut the democrats and republicans
Got all your cars bouncing like a bunch of mexicans
Quarterrock style, I "Touch" you like Tony
You claim you keeping it real but still coming out phoney
Just one MC and four DJs
Give them six turntables and a mic to blaze
Now imma set it like Run
In the house of Fun
I burn hotter than the heat that's made by sun
Got a gun and a uzi
But it weighs a ton

I was foolish cause I loved her so
Never put no one else above her no
She put it on me like no other did before
Now she telling me that she wants to go
She said she got dreams and she want back flights
She said that she can act and she wants to sign
Wants to build herself a rep make herself a name
I tell you girl game recognizes game
And I'll be good when you're gone for ever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good
And I'll be good when you're gone for ever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good
For good
Gone for good
You say you wanna be loved but wouldn't teach me how
Girl I don't even know how to reach you now
You say you wanna love but wouldn't speak no vow
Girl you ain't the one that can break me down
Take all of my love and the you spread it around
Girl I don't even know how to greet you now
I hope maybe you choke I hope maybe you drown
I said "Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down"
And I'll be good when you're gone for ever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good
And I'll be good when you're gone for ever
And I'll be fine when you're gone for good

Watching the sun shine, peaking over the sky line
Thinking I gotta get mine, gotta try at least one time
Want to get near it, close enough to fear it, close enough to hear it
Close enough to say that I looked it in the eye, then I turned away
Chorus
And I'm not scared, but I can't move I'm not scared, but I can't move
Hangin' out on a weeknight, looking out on the street light
Getting into some fistfight, trying to cling to my birthright
Want to get near her, close enough to smell her,
Close enough to tell her
All the things that I want to say, then I looked her in the eye,
Made her run away
Chorus
And I don't care, but I can't move I don't care, but I can't move
Laying up at the Soho, looking out of my window
Pulling back on some indo, watch the breeze as the wind blows
Want to get near it, close enough to hear it, close enough to fear it
Close enough to say that I looked it in the eye, then it turned away
Chorus
And I'm not scared, but I can't move I'm not scared, but I can't move
<@#Everlast_I_Get_By.txt#@>
Government man keep calling my house
Talking 'bout I owe, harassing my spouse
Gotta park my truck on another block
'Cause the sub-prime loan got my ass in hock
Gotta couple good friends with helping hands
I need a brand new job with a health care plan
They closed the plant, they stole my job
And told me crime don't pay unless you ask the mob
So I smoke a little grass, drink a little wine
Watch a little tube, try to kill a little time
And every single day I fall a little more behind
But I'm paying it no mind, it'll all be fine
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain't gonna lie
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain't gonna lie (got it good)
Party people in the place to be
Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by
It's on and on till the brake of dawn
Got to keep the rent paid and the power on
Yes yes y'all and it never stops
I don't trust the government, I don't trust no cops
We dip and we dive and we socialize
We struggle and we strive just to stay alive
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
When I finally get home I can't relax
'Cause I've been over worked and I've been over taxed
My bank accounts empty, all my cards are maxed
And I ain't looking for no pity, I'm just stating the facts
I voted for some change and it's kinda strange
Now it's all I got in my pocket
I bought a few LED's, now I'm growing some trees
And it's a sweet fucking hustle don't knock it
I told y'all before I would break the law
To put some food in my baby girl's belly
'Cause the senator man took a bribe in hand
And went and shipped my job to New Delhi
I get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by (got it good, got it good)
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain't gonna lie
I barely get by
I laugh not to cry
I stay a little high
I ain't gonna lie (got it good)
Party people in the place to be
Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by

Maybe you could take a little piece of my pain
Maybe you could make it all feel the same
Maybe you could burn this night in my brain
Maybe you could find someone else to blame
For all this pain, maybe, maybe, maybe
Maybe you could tell me about your worst fear
Don't say it out loud, whisper in my ear
Ain't never felt nothing like this here
Maybe you could see things a little more clear
Dry away your tears
I love you are just three words that are overused when we're talking
Love and friendship, situations get confusing so often
Maybe I should give this woman my name, a piece of my pain
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Maybe we could talk about all my dreams
Watch them all come apart at the seams
Sometimes when it rains it really teams
Sometimes they cut diamonds with laser beams
Whatever that means
I love you are just three words that are overused when we're talking
Love and friendship, situations get confusing so often
Maybe I should give this woman my time, that would be fine
Maybe, maybe, maybe
I love you are just three words that are overused when we're talking
Love and friendship, situations get confusing so often
Maybe I should give this woman my name, a piece of my pain

Some nights are better than others
Some fights are left among brothers
Some nights are better than others
Some fights are left among brothers
You know the freaks come out at night with the drama
I'm a break it down, take it down, learn it
Roll it up, burn it, think it
Stir it up, drink it, swallow it
Follow it straight to the heart of the matter
Program the data, turn on the lights
Watch them all scatter, from the shine off the glean
Course by my team, it's the high pro glow
One for the show, two for the handgun
Three, the one you man run when it's time for the action
All the stories you told are bound to get old
When your hands ain't as fast as the words you flippin'
Word to Scott Pippin, got to be trippin'
You must have been slippin', or want the ass whippin'
It's time to start flippin'
[Chorus]
Some nights are better than others
Break it down to the bare root essence
Some fights are left among brothers
Count your fingers then count your blessins
[Repeat Chorus]
They say blood runs thicker than water
Mothers to sons, bullets to guns
Hard times are spreadin', just like the flu
The voodoo child don't need to be raised
I'm no kid, act wild son, you might get blazed
Like an acid hit, I rock classic shit
That can make your head bump, put some shake in your rump
This ain't Forrest Gump but I got mad rhyme
Why you shoot that gun, I'm a shoot this gift
Leave you internally perplexed like the question if
Some hit the spliff, some of y'all sniff
Some clap the hammer when they pull a four fifth
But most of y'all fry, kid let's be blunt
You tryin' to be the man, well I be on the man hunt
Chorus x4

Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
Yo I've been walkin' round in the streets of these cities
I've flipped a few whiskies, I've rode a few kitties
I made a few dollars, I bought a few bottles
I popped a few collars then rocked a few models
I've pushed a few buttons, left all you cats guessing
It's ? Garcia, bia, who you stressin'
I'm ?, bout to drop blessings
I had to kill Whitey, word to the almighty
I'm tailor-made and I'm custom-fitted
Can't none of y'all cats do it like I did it
I might come sing it, I might come spit it
And if you want to take it, try to come get it
You'll get your wig splitted, get your grill busted
I'm crazy like the Beastie Boys were still dusted
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
A tock tick and you don't quit, hit it
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
A tock tick and you don't quit, hit it
Yo, off the dummy's instrumental, I spit heavy metal
Never been from the ghetto, keep it mad fundamental
Became a night devil, ? rebel
Add some bass, add some treble, pump up my level
Cause mad motherfuckers done bit my steeze
And the game has got biters like dogs got fleas
And all you dick riders get up off your knees
Drinkers turn your bottles up, smokers burn your trees
Learn your A be see's, mind your P's and Q's
Fuck around, get shot up, wind up on the news
Yo, it's ? Garcia, he a singin' the blues
Rockin' shiney jewels and some brand new shoes
I love my mama cause she ain't raised no fools
My golden rule is stay holdin' the tool
What you doing to your people's comes back on you
Don't know when the grim reaper wants to rendezvous
It's like
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
A tock tick and you don't quit, hit it
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
A tock tick and you don't quit, hit it
I hear mad motherfuckers say they're ready to die
Acting like they don't care but I swear they lie
Tell you now if they had to look death in the eye
They beg and they plead and they scream and they cry
When the reaper calls, you all will fall
You all will fall when the reaper calls
When the reaper calls, you all will fall
You all will fall when the reaper calls
I hear a lot of motherfuckers say they down for the kill
Most of them are just clowns but they swear they will
Spend a lot of time being down, keepin' it real
But I pay more attention to the ones that keep still
You all will fall when the reaper calls
When the reaper calls, you all will fall
You all will fall when the reaper calls
When the reaper calls, you all will fall
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay
A tock tick and you don't quit, hit it
Clock on the wall keeps ticking away
A tick tock and you don't stop
I've got to go, but I'd love to stay

The darkness skims by and wakes me up
And across the open window receding away
Have you, you, you lost your way again
The night air is still cold, get up
So, baby, hold on I'm worried of leaving you alone
I leave the road and follow behind you
You shower in the pouring moonlight
I haven't seen that entrancing expression before
I look at you who's stopped like a picture and at the end of that gaze
A place where I can't touch you and can't even hold you
What's shining under the surface is not that person
Your sad story that can't come true
The closer you go, the more you'll hurt, so
Just that love stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
Just that love stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
Like this I'm anxiously calling you
Don't go babe, those wings will get wet
No matter how much I tell you, you don't listen
You throw your whole body towards him again
Why do you dream a dangerous dream
(Now stop those tiring [actions]) So that your heart can rest a little
My heart watching you feels as if it'll rip as well
You shower in the pouring moonlight
I haven't seen that entrancing expression before
I look at you who's stopped like a picture and at the end of that gaze
A place where I can't touch you and can't even hold you
What's shining under the surface is not that person
Your sad story that can't come true
The closer you go, the more you'll hurt, so
Just that love stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
Just that love stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
Like this I'm anxiously calling you
Don't go babe, those wings will get wet
Like nothing happened you try
Even though you're smiling towards me
Your slender and pale shoulders shake a little, I'm telling you
It's okay if you let everything go and rest at my side for just a little while
When the sun rises, follow the place where the moon gets dark, fly away then,
yeah
A place where I can't touch you and we can't be together
What's shining under the surface is not that person
Your sad story that can't come true
The closer you go, the more you'll hurt, so
Just that love stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
Just that love stop, stop, stop, stop, yeah
Like this I'm anxiously calling you
Don't go babe, those wings will get wet
(Stop) those wings will get wet (stop) those wings will get wet

Better to love and lose than never ever love at all?
So tell me something new, tell me why do fools fall?
Tell me why, yeah why do they fall?
Ain't a matter of love, it's a matter of pride
Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy
So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I'll show you how

<@#Extreme_Nice_Place_To_Visit.txt#@>
Not really lookin' for, for nothing special,
Just someplace that I can call my own,
I'm growing tired of, of running wild,
It's time I settled down
Bridge:
There seems to be some lights on,
But ain't nobody home
I think I see some lights on,
But there ain't nobody home
Ain't being choosy, but
Don't want no floozy,
And that's not much to ask
Chorus:
She's a nice place to visit (3x)
But I wouldn't want to live her,
Nice place to visit
Hey, is anybody home?
Seeing is believing,
But looks can be deceiving,
What you get ain't always what you see
I like what' s down there,
But no one is upstairs,
I think there's bats in the belfry
Chorus
I don't know what's come over me,
I'm blinded by the scenery,
Nice place to visit,
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm coming back because of you,
Nice place to visit, visit, visit...
Bridge
This big bad wolf knows
Which way the wind blows,
And which little piggy's house is made of brick,
Must have vacated, or mislocated,
There's just toys, toys in the attic
Chorus (hey, is anybody home? )
Knock, knock, who's there?
She's a nice place to visit (2x)

Sun going up,
Making its rounds
It keeps on moving,
Painting the town
Before you know it,
She's sinking low
So tell me something . . .
Something I don't already know
I don't know?
Toward the south,
Then turning north
Whirlwind spinning,
On a circular course
The answer my friend,
Returns to blow
So tell me something . . .
Something I don't already know
I don't know?
Tell me something
I don't know?
As for the wise men who pursue
Their knowledge
Same as the fool, free falling
Prey to folly
Can only one fate befall
Them both
So tell me something . . .
[Chorus:]
If every song been sung,
Under the sun
What's left for me then,
Eat drink and have fun
It must go on, as for the show
So tell me something . . .
<@#Extreme_There_Is_No_God.txt#@>
So you're a self proclaimed messiah
Or maybe a blasphemes liar
A clever hypnotic hoax
A hallowed heretic coax
Who tells these stories so old
No, never the same twice told
Speaking in distorted truths
I see that Thomas wants some proof
Did you come to heal the sick
With one more magician's trick
Ye generation seeks a sign
While blind keeps leading the blind
So you say there is no god
Just a clever man's charade
A once upon a fairy tales fraud
Has god made man or man made god
There is no god
Confused thy talk in parables
Accused thou walk in parallels
A simple game of Simon says
This month's flavor sciences
Today's fact, tomorrow's fiction
Leave the rest to superstition
If knowledge comes from learning books
Wisdom comes from discerning looks
A fool that says there is no god
Don't feel for that sorry sod
Who needs proof then he'll believe
I wonder if he's been deceived
There is no god

(feat. Mike Shorey)
[Intro]
Fab... [5X]
Can you be my B-A-B-Y?
[M.S.:] I'll never call another lover mine
[Verse 1: Fabolous]
And why would I, and why should I
When I seen a lady tonight, with my good eye that I would try and make
My..(baby..baby)
I was up in the club putting my hood high
When I saw you, and I stood by
Just lookin at your onion girl I could cry, and I could lie
I mean I could try and say you ain't sweep me off my feet
But only one thing could keep me off the street
And that's if you be my, B-A-B-Y
I can be why you always be fly
And I'm from B-Stuy, just like B.I...G. was, that's how F-A-B does
We can sip something 'til we both be buzzed
In a V-dub and that's only be-cause
[Chorus: Mike Shorey]
Need someone to be my (baby)
Kind of girl you find in the club rockin those (baby) Phat jeans
Gonna find someone to be my (baby)
..I see some ladies tonight that should be having my (baby, baby)
[Verse 2: Fab]
After the baby talk, the goo goo ga ga
You like this, that, you do bla bla
Couple good jokes, a few brouhaha's, it's time to do you mama
First I'ma put you on your back
And make you scream out (baby)..just like I put you on the track
Then I'ma lay you on your side
And slowly stroke you while you telling me the way you feel inside
But my sex drive won't make me play you on the side
You know you get the keys any day you wanna ride
And my baby know how to start me up
You got the kind of kiss that'll speed a heartbeat up
And you got the kind of touch that'll gimme the chills
I ask you 'cause I know you gonna gimme it real
It won't be fake, and don't we make a good couple
And won't we make a good...(baby)?
[Chrous]
[Bridge: Mike Shorey]
Ooh, if I seem just a bit taken, pardon me
But you're so amazing
I just want us to do this exclusively
Say you'll be my baby
[Verse 3: Fab]
My baby's the only one I bring to the villa
That can get the bling and the scrilla
Girl, I know you smooth enough to spring a chinchilla
And still take a sting of Tequila, the way you swing is a thriller
I'm watchin that like the boxing match in the ring of Manila
I wanna keep it comin like the singles of "Thriller"
I mean if you still uh..my B-A-B-Y
[Chorus]

Big up to the fake niggas from a real nigga

We speak Guapanese, come see what we talking bout
Holla at your homie, holla at your dog
Looking for the competition holla at the morgue

All of this cause I ain't respond to your text
Big up to you bum bitches in your ten dollar dresses
Big up to the big girls y'all are so Precious
Salty bitches try to raise a nigga blood pressure
Grown little girls, do your mouth get any fresher
Huh? But it ain't fresh as Loso
Monogrammed out son in case you didn't know so
Flow so deadly swag too murderous
Known for being nice,
That don't mean courteous
This is nothing new,
I'm not a beginner
I get big checks like the lottery winners
A boy dissing I,
Boy listen I,
Kindly sent him on his way,
Tell the mortician hi
Holla at your homie, holla at your dog
Looking for the competition holla at the morgue
Once I say hi to her she gon' say bye to ya

<@#Fabolous_Can_You_Hear_Me.txt#@>
[Chorus:]
'cause now I ain't wit cha, know that I miss ya, some how I carry on
I can still picture, when I was wit cha like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song, to my niggas laid out, til my niggas lay down
Can Ya Hear Me, I know you hear me
[Fabolous]
Now we was once two niggas of the same kind
Quick to holla at a bitch with the same lines
Quick to draw on a nigga with the same nines
But at the same time we was on some different shit
'cause you was with a bitch that I beg to differ wit
I told you sniff a bit and you could get a whif of it
But you kept a closed nose when it came to those hoes
And I'm your nigga so I tried to smell em wrong for ya
Wasn't there to take the fault for ya, But if you hear me
I dedicate this song for ya, He was setup in a stick up
By a girl he used to pick up on the upper west side
I used to help him chop a brick up, They found him in his pickup
Pants down and dick up, leaning with one in his head
And one in his chest, One of the best at this husslin' shit
But his downfall was that he put his trust in a bitch and it's fucked up
[Chorus]
[Fabolous]
I remember selling three bricks of raw powder
Turn my man into a star in 24 hours
He didn't care spent the money in like 4 hours
On a Benz with like 400 and Horsepower
And a chain that had christ on it, a rollie with a lot of Ice on it
A pinky ring with a price on it, when he come around
Its likely that he blunted
With a pretty lady in them Nike's that you wanted
It's well know he kept it on his hip like a cell phone
If you speak with him you can pick up on his jail tone
He used to say he wasn't going back without blowing back
And now I'm black I wouldn't put it past him
The D's would Harass him, til he finally blacked out
They told my nigga to freeze, but he still backed out
Shots fired 'til his trigger finger got tired
All the newspapers said was 'Another Nigga Dead'
And it's fucked up
[Chorus]
[Fabolous]
You can catch me in a cherry red 8-50 nice ass
Great titties, face pretty everybody know that she date smitty
A big time dealer that's doing a state biddin
Who did more than his share of dirt in the world
Enough to make a nigga think about hurtin' his girl
So he used to tell his queen to stay to the castle
Away from the hassle to the day that he pass through
There's some enemies he might have who may want to blast you
She stayed for a few years, that's until a few pairs
Convinced her to come and hang out around New Year's
It's been awhile, you can see it in her smile
And she ran into her man's Co-Defendant in the trial
Who started going on about how he moving on
About running with them same niggas Smitty had warned about
She slid off told her girl, she had to drop her kid off
They found her in the parking lot, somebody blew her lid off
And it's fucked up
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Fabolous_Exodus.txt#@>
My youngins get it fucked up when y'all talk about the game
Like it's designed in their favor
Like it ain't outlined for them to waiver
Their rights for a lil' bit of fame
Get in bullshit fights for a lil' name
To get noticed by some niggas that don't give two fucks about you
Tell 'em you don't do the jives and shucks, and they route you to the shelf
See there's no money in good health
So they need you to be sick with it, ill content and delivery niggas
This nation thrives off misery niggas
So if you ain't trying to let your hard times increase your wealth
Niggas keep that progressive shit to yourself
This is the business of buying souls, and we only tryin' to fuck with those
who trying to sell them
See, they may see me as an adversary 'cause they know I'm tryin' to tell them
About the forest of artists who grow only to meet industry axes
How they take niggas dreams and write then off in their taxes
Contracts is confusing, but don't worry they'll appoint you a lawyer for you
whore you
Loan you funds to fuck your soul make you pay it back and still maintain
control of your stroll
Your tracks and your hot ass slow flow
they'll keep you looking good and all that, but no dough
You see when that get a bitch, they got a bitch
And contrary to popular opinion it ain't my sistas that switch
It's my brothers
We the dumb motherfuckers
Hardest niggas in the streets turned industry suckers
'Cause we refused to do the knowledge
Nigga, you can't learn this music game in the streets or in college
So you betta pick up a book or something
Or fuck it, FAB will put it in a hook or something
Hope that you listen to it
Got you pumpin' that poison while they paint them illusionary parades and keep
pissin' through it
You pussies don't know the price or the sacrifices that this industry makes
real niggas walk

[Fabolous]
Yo
Baby Girl where you at ?
[Lil Mo]
Right here
Right here
right here baby
Here's another one
[Fabolous]
You need to holla at somebody real such as myself
Won't nobody do as much as myself
And its so real ill hop out and get the dutches myself
For a pretty girl as such as yaself
'cause ima busy man I don't see too much for myself
And sometimes it be hard to get in touch with myself
But I, make the time when I have to
Learn to take my time and be careful when dealing wit women
There's some who be willing and skimming
And dive in to relationships 'cause I got a million to swim in
They'll throw it to you faster than schilling and clemens
But feelings ain't the only thing that you can catch now
Some throw lawyers that you hoping they fetch thous
Others pass diseases that you can catch now
But in my minutes so lone I think about this crazy world
And.. I don't want to live in it alone
Come on
[Chorus: Lil Mo]
Ill give you all my love
And you can always trust
My loyalty, honesty, and security (and i'll never)
Ill never leave (no, no, no)
Can none of these other chicks fuck wit me
So holla at somebody real (cause i)
'cause I'm so real
[Fabolous]
(real love) I'm searching for a real love like j blige in 92
but I pray I will find you
And say whether the storm will leave the gray skies behind you
The fake may try to blind you
That's why I stay fly like I do
And no I can trust everybody that I say hi and bye to
First I need a girl that may die as my boo
Then I may try the I do's
But, I refuse to be trick
Or used by a chick
Who gets amusement of kicks
Out of abusing my dick
When its real I'm all in it
But I don't want the scars of love that you get when you fall in it
(no) before it didn't matter who
Now I look for some with a little attitude
I could chitter chatter to, good looking
But witty and compatible
Long hair wit a fatty too
And that'll do
[Chorus:]
[Lil Mo]
No I'm not trying to pressure you
But my loves to incredible
For to waste
In front of your face
Then I give you something you can feel
To let you know your hollering at somebody real
[Fabolous]
I need to holla at somebody real could that be you
The feelings that I feel could that be true
Most cats lay where the hood rats be boo
But I'm the kinda cat that strays away
That's til somebody real sways my way
Then I might spend some days always
On a Asia bay
Eating food made the Cajun way
And sippin ga lil saki
Blowing a lil brocoli
But this world is full of fluzi's
And bullshit usually
I pull I'm choosy
And on this joint and at this point
I know I need to holla at somebody real
For real
[Chorus: x2]

No matter where I go it's always 'posed to, feel just like I'm (in my hood)
Cops drive in it every 5 minutes, look at your faces, pat your waists'
Try to find the stash where the gats and base is, I can't say that they racist
But I know.. it ain't the same in they town
And as fucked up as it may sound (in my hood)
It's 2 ways to make it happen off the streets
Balling on the courts or rapping off the beats
You hear the shells tappin' off the 'crete, when they clappin' off the heat
Then the yellow tape's trappin off the street
But that's the way we was raised
Preying to God, hoping that he keep us out the way of them strays
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Fabolous]
They drink 'til the cups dry, eat 'til the plate's clean
Niggaz be in state greens 'fore they turn 18
'Round here you never let the beef slide twice
Everybody raised on 4 wings and beef fried rice
Them mothers are getting younger today
Got one by the hand, one in the stroller and one on the way
We don't have role models
But we got them handguns that hold hollows (in my hood)
Ain't no diplomas or degrees
But you can get high from the aroma of the trees (in my hood)
I know it like navigation, and fuck having patience
I'ma get mine, you better get yours, 'cause everyday is a struggle
And One-Time ride through everyday just to bug you
That's how it is, 'cause your rights be wrong
And everybody got a white T on, when you're in..my..hood
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Fab]
We try to make the most of what we got
You either been hit, or been close to gettin shot (in my hood)
Any nigga that boast be getting got
And dopeheads fiend to get a dose of what we got
And young niggaz be like they slow
But you give them a blunt..bet they roll the weed like a pro
If you trick it's not a problem it gets you laid
But if you stick without a condom, it gets you AIDS
No Sesame Street, kids watch BET
Look up to niggaz that don't got a GED
I know a dude with the deadbeat tag
Kids don't got diapers but he ridin' in the red G-Wag'
In the hood, you and your beef is sure to bump heads
And everybody grew up sleepin on bunk beds
They telling me to vote..and I would
If it made a change in my hood..mu'fucka.
[Chorus]
[Fab talks 'til the end]

[Mary J. Blige]
All my love is all I have
All my life I look for you
[Fabolous]
I'm just Fab, I see how Mary be now
But I can barely be found
And I rarely be round
But when I do, the jury be drowned
And you can see how clear the Pile Vase, and the Canaries be now
The top on the 5 series be down
And I'm chillin' where them little houses on the prairie be now
Although there was a time I would barely see fowls
But I'm gettin' a multi-million dollar yearly fee now
Girls, don't even know me, want to marry me now
Dudes, I thought was homies, want to bury me now
That's why I keep a bulletproof vest, no matter where we be now
And I carry three pounds, and nearly three rounds
I take whatever the verdict from the jury be now
Rather than friends, it's pallbearers that carry me round
Everybody staring unnecessarily now
But there's no tints on my lights, so you can clearly see now
[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
All my love is all I have
And my dreams are very special
All my life I looked for you
And today your dream come true
You need me and I need you
Lovin' us is very special
Lovin' life and life and livin'
Your very special
[Fabolous]
Y'all can never be built like me, even if Y'all look at my blueprint
But since Y'all watches look like its movement
I'll show you how video games look on the new Sprint
Flip out digital screens, look in the new Bent
100 and flat screens, look in the new Pint
Even our Air Forces lookin' to new tints
I stay away from anythin' that look like a nuisance
But y'all gotta peep this rookie's improvement
I tip it with you and
Cause most dudes was doin' verses for a few dollars and a hook for a few cents
All I do is try to teach and look to influence
But it look like the students are playin' hooky, and truin'
And some say that we lookin' like new gents
But money talks, and it don't look like Y'all fluent
And Y'all done seen how this young'n look in the new pints
But it's my life and you can't look in the new tints
[Chorus]
[Fabolous]
Uh, If I could say so myself, I came a long way
Even though I feel like the same old John J.
Nothin' change, when I aim, I'm gonna spray
When I eat, I order the same old entree
When I ride, I let the same old songs play
And when I work, I do the same old long days
From bein' Fab, to looked at by dames the wrong way
They know where we came, from the name they call me
I already know what these lames is gonna say
And I already seen what games they gonna play
Fuck with family, don't say the name the wrong way
And when you die, Y'all crackers gonna blame it on strays
[Mary J. Blige]
Cause love is life, and life is livin'
Your very special
[harmonizing]
[Chorus]
Me and Fab are very special
Me and Fab are very special

Yeah man
Real Talk Of New York
Its all eyes on me like Mr. Shakur
So they wanna (pause) the door
Chicks come around and put kisses on the jaw
So I ain't a player that need assistance to score
Any misses you saw
Climb on the couch kicked off the Christian Dior
I done popped 'till I sweat a Christ in a pore
But I do it again if you missed it before
Its no big deal
I'm so big wheel
In them little cars with those big wheels
With a little box full of those big steels
Pretty little chicks in those big heels
For me it never gets old
Most girls is diggers who ain't goin' never hit gold
I get under the sun when the weather get cold
8 ball five when the seven gets old
Hey hey stop that mama
Can't you see that I'm a East Coast stunna
Hey hey you must misunder-stand
I don't spend all to bend that over
Hey hey
Why you lookin' like that for?
I'm done you can run no need for conversation
Hey hey hey hey
No need for conversation
Now see you the type ta
Get too hyper
Maybe cause your chick like me
But I'm a black card swiper
That just pipe her
And you don't give a like me
They say I'm the sickest since Carter dropped
So girls jump to it with Vince Carters hops
Its the truck with the twenty inch startin' stops
That have 'em not knowin'
Whether they stayin' or goin'
They stare at the Airs and be sayin' it glowin'
And they like my style and the way I be flowin'
But that's when I bud in and say that I'm blowin'
Now you could make the choice if you stayin' or goin'
Girl
We could go any place in the world
And the jet hold twelve so theres space for ya girls
Nobody in the street gonna hear
That you givin' forty thousand feet in the air
Hey hey stop that mama
Can't you see that I'm a East Coast stunna
Hey hey you must misunder-stand
I don't spend all to bend that over
Hey hey
Why you lookin' like that for?
I'm done you can run no need for conversation
Hey hey hey hey
No need for conversation
Most of these tag a longs
Brag on songs
But can't keep it up like a Baget thong
Keep frontin' like you spend
While ya pockets get lighter and lighter like Michael's skin
On the other hand
I'm the kind of brother man
With fifty thou of ice just up on the hand
Bentley bright and rocky covered band
And a zone that'll tell the time in another land
Girls spread they legs same day I bagged 'em
Its the Mustard Gut, Mayo Magnum
In the twenty twos with the butter knife shine
That's why every body and they mother like mine
I rarely be
Where the willies be
There ain't been a dude this smooth since Billy D
Girl you need to make your move
The ego is what (pause) the Lakers groove
Hey hey stop that mama
Can't you see that I'm a East Coast stunna
Hey hey you must misunder-stand
I don't spend all to bend that over
Hey hey
Why you lookin' like that for?
I'm done you can run no need for conversation

When that money callin everything gon on hold (x2)
[Fabolous - Verse 1]
I'm having doubts, what they really believe
Starting with these Stefan Urquelle, who really be Steve
Photoshop don't make it better, it really deceive
Long hair don't care, but it really be weave
Lets get back to this real shit
That life, I'm bout
Anytime that I'm out, I keep ballin like there's no time out
On the kush I'm stoned out
On you haters, I zone out
Y'all opinions don't make me money
So what yall thinkin don't count
I mean the nerve of these niggas giving me attitude
When I be serving these niggas
You rappers platter food
[Chorus:] (x2)
[Verse 2:]
Saying they overrated is a understatement
Them niggas is broke, look like they under maintanence
They rapping bout mansions, but from they momma's basement
Swear they in phantoms, but drive a honda station
Lets get back to this real shit
Stay away from that counterfeit
That fake-it till you make-it life, really don't amount to shit
Talkin never bothers us, sometimes it do bore me
So if ya makin movies, hope it based on a true story

When money call, pick it up n call that bitch later

I said ooh, she wildin' wildin', she do her thang thang
Lames get shot down, she do a bang bang
She attract rappers and the ones who who the same thang
Playas in the league and dope boys who slang thangs
All tryna pull up on her, all she do is lane change
They be all in the air, 100 be the main thing
Tryna lock her down, she ain't with the Chain Gang
Wanna make her wifey, but no name change
She be on that Brikin to Chanel type of name change
She be stuntin', she be on her Jackie Chan thang
Big chain Rollie in the sky, let your thang swang
Mike with the iced out, Mike plain Jane
Either way you know what time it is, gotta maintain
Mr. Childs' girl, not a pimp chain thang
Whole crew bad, it's a pretty gang thang
Long hair, don't care, let it hang thang

I said ooh, she pop a Molly and do her thang thang
Take the grapefruit and do that brain thang
Man, that ruby red, that shit done change things
I'ma bout to bust, but before I go bang bang
Hold up, she climb up on it like she King Kong
Back and forth on that table, like she ping pong
She tell me play the dirty version on the clean song
She tell me fuck her in the dark, with my bling on
And she do this thing to me, she know I like
She need no one to check, she know that mic
She like when Spider-Man climb up them walls
She be so wet, feel like you in The Falls
She like Niagara, man fuck your Viagra
She make you cum fast and fuck up your swagger
She make you come back, like that boomerrang
Ooh she be wildin' when she do her thang

[Chorus]
I've got some things to say, oh
Please don't go, oh
So don't you turn away, oh
Please don't go, oh
I need you here to stay, I
Miss you so
My daddy left me, and he ain't even die
So when he did go, I ain't even cry
I had reason, but that ain't even why
How could he have failed if he ain't even try
I ask no questions, I ain't even pry
Truthfully I wanted to I can't even lie
Like a canceled flight, that ain't even fly
To just walk away, like you ain't even my
Like, like, like I ain't even your
I cant even say it, I ain't even sure
He shoulda gave me everything and left me even more
But he left me without saying what he was leavin' for
And that's when I became a man
And that's the day he stopped bein' one
This year I became a father
And I'm a die bein' one, whats up son
[Chorus]
I have nightmares of me not bein' round
He took his first steps and daddy couldn't be in town
Daddy's entertaining everybody
But missed out when it came to trainin' for the potty
I give a fuck about hip-hops new beef
I was more excited when my son grew teeth
So I same the problem
Of the famous stardom
Just like Em and Haily
Just like Game and Harlem
Weezy's at the awards with Miss. Carter
Nah not his date, i'm talkin' bout his daughter
Now that's stuntin' like your daddy
Cause its crazy when you wanna be nothin' like your daddy
And if you never been a man
That's the day you start bein' one
This year I became a father
And I'm a die bein' one, whats up son
[Chorus]
So hear the truth remain to let me go
I wont hold that against you, I moved on
Just look what I become since you been gone
Now don't you turn away, oh, please don't go
Here's what I got to say, oh
Please don't go
oh why'd you go away, oh
Please don't go
I needed you here to stay, oh
Please don't go
I cant believe this day, oh
Please don't go
[Chorus]
Why did you leave me?
Tell me why you don't care
Daddy tell me why did you leave me
Why you don't care?
Tell me why did you leave me
Daddy tell me why you weren't there
Why did you leave me?

2-20 on the z-a dash
when the 3-a flash
turn ur brains to a v8 splash and ur body
with this lifestyle poster style
I get right like a lifestyle poster child
niggas in the game as haggy
when u put the heat to him they talk the same as shaggy "it wasn't me "
nigga u cant even think a freestyles on ur own
got 911 on speedial on ur phone
still nuttin
i roll for thous now
got every ghetto girl going crazy
thats too old for bow wow
yo
I got the feds in paranoia
I'm the only kid that come to court in a pair of nikes
with a pair of lawers
who murders wen they walk
Have witness sayin duh-duh-duh-duh to nervous to talk
Ship niggas is opposed
To put insurance on their bitch
cuz now i ship niggas for their hoes
only take 5 of these spraid
After I roll up behind you like privacy shades
All y'all could do is look at my studs and shiver
Or be rocking my watch
At the bottom of the Hudson River
Want to get me for my dough then fine
But u better be a model for a bullet proof clothin line
You'all see the size of the bags that my dope be in
Got niggas pockets lookin like Ethiopians
You broke niggas could be fixed and
I'm the reason ain't no original and the already talkin REMIX
Paul Cain:
It's Paul Cain season again
I'm like a 2k pee-wee kirkland
study old-timers learn to put easy workin
Know these niggas wanna see me hurtin
That's what would get them shot poped up with the D.E squirt gun
Still focused on flippin them packs
Cop the ESCALADE on 20's with the system in back
Come thru gucci jeans suits fisherman hat
Why the white ubs Double G stiched in the back
Since half y'all haters learn the aim able to stear
handle the wheel like NASCAR racers
I'm 5'7 tower over every oppenent
Ask CLUE where he got the title HEAVY COMPONENTS
Quietly I'm the best in the game
I'm never changin my image juz adding specs and a chain
And y'all niggaz know it's on for life

I come from the streets where the man stand hungry
And you see the diamonds on this man hand chunky
So I gotta come with the heat like Stan Van Gundy
Cause I eat more in a day than a man can monthly
Niggas didn't act funny growin' up
But things changed when the crack money slowin' up
In the black Bentley with black twentys showin' up
Its hard for a nigga not to get into they feelings
I'm tryin' to show 'em how to get into the millions
Trips to Rio'll make 'em get into Brazilians
You keep followin' a snitch nigga lead
When its time of the month though bitch nigga bleed
The red light on the Mac switch niggas speed
Gun shots'll have 'em dashin' a hundred meters
Nah they ain't stashin' a hundred either
They just on Smack flashin' a hundred heaters

Chit chat
I ain't wit that
But I could still bag 'em

Please tell 'em whats my name
Somebody tell 'em whats my name

I rather ride gently
In the Bentley
Please tell 'em whats my name
Somebody tell 'em whats my name

Now everytime ya think ya out they pull ya back in
Pull the Mac-10
With bullets packed in
I pulled it back then
Da da da da da
And these niggas have been miserable
Its hurtin' 'em all to see me in physical
With a grin visible
I like my position
Its like a magician
A finger snap'll make a nigga invisible
POOF! Fabdini The Great
Who else go to exotic dealerships grab 'Ghinis and skate
Niggas can't get the dimes or the nickels to sale
Put the sour to the bottle like its pickles for sale
I get money so the bitches gonna chase ya'll
They can see somebodys riches in the place ya'll
I get 'em
Before they snitches in the case ya'll
They face'll have more stitches than a baseball

Sunshine blue skies please go away

With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain,
'Cause so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain,
Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside.
Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.
Day in day out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pain,
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain,
Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying,
Crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears,
I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain,
Let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it rain.
I'm a man and I got my pride
Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain.

So you see I love you so much
I don't want to see you leave me baby
Most of all I just don't, I just don't want to be free
I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kiss and your warm embrace child
When the reflection in the glass
That I been held to my lips now baby
Revealed the tears I had on my face
I would rather, I would rather be blind child
Than to see you walk away from me
Baby, baby, baby I would rather go blind
Than to see you walk away from me

Wait a minute honey
I don't think the joke's too funny
No I stayed up all night
Checking out the doctor's guide
Wait a minute honey
Stop pretending you're a bunny
Well I might've guessed
You been to see a specialist
I remember you said
That we gotta keep a breast of time
But obviously you don't know
Where to draw the line, well
Don't try to tell me it's a-what you been eating
Since when have you been forty-four around
Get on with the song, yeah
Dig this, at the Moulin Rouge tell you baby
We could knock'em dead
Just sign right here, all I need is ten percent
Well, now you make me feel like a pimp in the White House
For a senator's daughter you're stealing all the headline news
All the headline news
Oh shake me, shake me, shake me up all night long
We all need a laugh and I guess you're just the one
Well you got more front than Haig Museum
Oh home grown silicone
You really got the best of me
You really got the best of me
<@#Faces_Wicked_Messenger.txt#@>
There was a wicked messenger
From Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied
The smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
He answered with a thumb
For his tongue it could not speak
But only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall
It was there that he made his bed
Often times he could be seen returning
Until one day he just appeared
With a note in his hand which read
<@#Faith_Hill_Away_In_A_Manger.txt#@>
Away in a manger
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
The stars
In the bright sky
Look down where lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying he makes
I love you Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
Til morning is night
Be near me Lord Jesus
I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all
The dear children
In thy tender care
And feen us for Heaven
To live with thee there
<@#Faith_Hill_Fireflies.txt#@>
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles
And fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell
'Cause I believe in fairy tales
And dreamer's dreams
Like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles, anything I can to get by
And fireflies
Now before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
And I could bless myself in your name
And pat you on your wings
And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
Well life is hard and so is love
Child, believe in all these things
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell
'Cause I believe in fairy tales
And dreamer's dreams
Like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles, anything I can to get by...
And fireflies...
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles
And fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
<@#Faith_Hill_If_Youre_Gonna_Fly_Away.txt#@>
If you're gonna fly away
don't fly without me
don't go no where
I need you, babe
Has the sun gone down on you?
Have you given up on truth?
I wish I could say all the right things
To make your pain go away
I wish you knew
How beautiful you are in every way
When the world is falling down
Just kneel with me and pray
[Chorus]
If your gonna fly away
Don't fly without me
Don't go nowhere
I need you, Babe
If you gonna leave this place
Take me with you
I could never live without you
So you'll take a thousand pills
Hoping to be numb
Lie awake in bed
Counting all that's wrong
No one understands
No one ever will
Trust me when I tell you
I know just how you feel
You had all these dreams
But you're in a small town
Oh, they kill them for you
You had nothing else to do
But use and use and use and use
[Chorus]
Just sing a song for me, baby
It's not as bad as it seems, no no no
What matters today
Won't matter tomorrow
Count all your blessing,
Settle all your sorrow
[Chorus]
If you gonna leave this place
Take me with you
I could never live without you
Oooo, I need ya
<@#Faith_Hill_Im_Not_Lisa.txt#@>
I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight has touched your face
She was your morning light
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun
And then one winter day
His hand led hers away
She left you here drowning in your tears, here
Where you've stayed for years
Crying Lisa, Lisa
I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight shines through your face
I'm not Lisa
<@#Faith_Hill_Lets_Make_Love.txt#@>
Baby I've been drifting away
Dreaming all day
Of holidng you
Touching you
The only thing I want to do
Is be with you
As close to you
As I can be
Let's make love
All night long
Until all our strength is gone
Hold on tight
Just let go
I want to feel you in my soul
Until the sun comes up
Let's make love
Oh, baby
Do you know what you do to me
Everything inside of me
Is wanting you
And needing you
I'm so in love with you
Look in my eyes
Let's get lost tonight
In each other
Let's make love
All night long
Until all our strength is gone
Hold on tight
Just let go
I want to feel you in my soul
Until the sun comes up
Let's make love
Let's make love
All night long
Until all our strength is gone
Hold on tight

All night long
All night long
Let's make love
<@#Faith_Hill_Lost.txt#@>
Is it obvious to you
When you walk into a room
Your face is all I see
And my heart races so fast
I never knew a rush to feel like that
Every time you're touching me
I never did believe in anything
I couldn't hold between my fingers
But the way you make me feel
It's just so real the way it lingers
I get lost inside your stare
Lost when you're not there
And everything I have
Doesn't mean a thing if it's without you
If it's a dream
Don't wake me up
I'll scream if this isn't love
If bein' lost means never knowin' how it feels without you
I wanna stay lost forever
I wanna stay lost foreverwith you.
No this feelin' doesn't end
It's with me everywhere I am
Hope it never goes away
It's like defying gravity
I'm losing all control in bein' free
And I always wanna stay
I never thought that I'd let go long enough
To fall for someone deeply
Who had the power to erase my fears
And find me so completely
I get lost inside your stare
Lost when you're not there
And everything I have
Doesn't mean a thing if it's without you
If it's a dream
Don't wake me up
I'll scream if this isn't love
If bein' lost means never knowin' how it feels without you
I wanna stay lost
Don't tell me where we're goin'
I don't wanna know
I like the mystery
I can't believe we've come this far
So far away from where we started off
You found me when I wasn't lookin'
You found me
And now I'm lost inside your stare
Lost when you're not there
And everything I have
Doesn't mean a thing if it's without you
Without you..
If it's a dream
Don't wake me up
I'll scream if this isn't love
If bein' lost means never knowin' how it feels without you
Yeah
If bein' lost means never knowin' how it feels without you
Oh
If bein' lost means that I'm never gonna be without you
I wanna stay lost forever
I wanna stay lost forever
With you

<@#Faith_Hill_Never_Gonna_Be_Your_Lady.txt#@>
I tried to say it politely
I tried to give you a clue
All your gold don't excite me
That old trick just won't do
Still you keep spending money
But there's blood on the pearls
Don't call me babe, don't call me honey
And think you rule my whole world
'Cause I'm never gonna be your lady
I'm not the fool you think I am
I'm never gonna be your lady
And you will never be my man
That's right
Well, listen
I bet your wife don't know nothin'
About your sordid affairs
You've got greed mixed up with lovin'
And love mixed up with flair
But I'm never gonna be your lady
I'm not the fool you think I am
I'm never gonna be your lady
All your funky business
See you in jail
You might buy the other, but baby, I'm not for sale
I'm not for sale...that's right
'Cause I'm never gonna be your lady
I'm not the fool you think I am
Yeah, I'm never gonna be your lady
And you will never be man
No, I'm never gonna be your lady
I'm not the fool you think I am
Oh, I'm never gonna be your lady
And you will never be my man
Never gonna be my man
Now listen to me
That's right, I told you
Never gonna be my man
Let me tell ya somethin boy
You can keep tryin all you want to try
But it's never gonna work
You don't have a thing that I need
And you sure ain't got a thing I want
Oh, no
Never be your lady
<@#Faith_Hill_One.txt#@>
I try with all my might but still don't understand
Why we ever let it get so out of hand
My arms are reaching out and holding on tight
To what has always felt so right
[Chorus]
One is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
And you still don't get it do you
I thought we had all the love
To go it for the long run
So before the damage is done
Let's start back over at one
Lights out when every evening used to get so hot, now
We got so damned distracted we forgot how
To lock the world away and just get lost in
Where you end and where I begin
Love is strong but it's so easy to divide
So boy let's think about how much is on the line
[Chorus]
<@#Faith_Hill_Peace_In_The_Valley.txt#@>
Oh, well, I'm tired and so weary but I must go alone
Till the Lord comes and calls me, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright and the lamp is alight
And the night is black as the sea, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh yes
Listen, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tamed
And the lion shall lay down by the Lamb, oh yes
And the beast from the wild shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature I am, I am
There will be peace in the valley for me someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
'Cause there will be peace in the valley for me, one more time
There will be peace in the valley for me

Her momma's still got that sequin gown that she wore in '68
She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade
It took a whole lot of years and tears
For her momma to finally admit
No matter how many stitches and pins
That old dress was never gonna fit
She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me,
Living someone else's dream"
Her daddy used to say, "You'll make a lovely bride someday
He'll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away"
It took twenty-five years and some broken vows
Before they'd finally see
There's a little more to love and life
Then fairy tales and hand me down dreams
She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me,
Living someone else's dream"
Now she's got twenty-seven candles on her cake
And she means to make her life her own
Before there's twenty-eight
She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me,
Living someone else's dream"
She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me,
Living someone else's dream"

It's not easy trying to understand
How the world can be so cold, stealing the souls of man
Cloudy skies rain down on all your dreams
You wrestle with the fear and doubt
Sometimes it's hard but you gotta believe
[Chorus]
There's a better place, where our Father waits
And every tear He'll wipe away
The darkness will be gone,the weak shall be strong
Hold on to your faith
There will come a day, there will come a day
Wars are raging, lives are scattered
Innocence is lost, and hopes are shattered
The old are forgotten, the children are forsaken
In this world we're living in
Is there anything sacred?
There will come a day, there will come a day
The song will ring out, down those golden streets
The voices of earth with the angels will sing
Every knee will bow, sin will have no trace
In the glory of His amazing grace
Every knee will bow, sin will have no trace
In the glory of His amazing grace
There will come a day, there will come a day
Oooh there will come a day
I know there's coming a day, coming a day
<@#Faith_Hill_This_Kiss.txt#@>
I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry, no
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby, hello, oh, no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, impossible
This kiss, this kiss (unstoppable)
This kiss, this kiss
Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course, oh
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I'm forever yours
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, unthinkable
This kiss, this kiss (unsinkable)
This kiss, this kiss
You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky, or
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let every thing slide
You got me floating, you got me flying
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, subliminal
This kiss, this kiss (it's criminal)
This kiss, this kiss
It's the way you love me baby
It's the way you love me darling, yeah
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, subliminal
This kiss, this kiss (it's criminal)
This kiss, this kiss
It's the way you love me baby
It's the way you love me darling, yeah
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
<@#Faith_No_More_Digging_The_Grave.txt#@>
It would be wrong to ask you why
Because I know what goes inside
Is only half of what comes out
Isn't that what it's about ?
To remind us we're alive
To remind us we're not blind
In that big, black hole
Comfortable
Digging the grave, I got it made
Let something in, or throw something out ?
You left the door open wide
I know you have a reason why
That knot is better left untied
I just went and undid mine
It takes some time
And the shadows so big
It takes the sun out of the day
And the feeling goes away
If you close the door
Comfortable

Things worked out better than we had planned
Capital from boy, woman and man
We were like ink and paper
Numbers on a calculator
Knew arithmetic so well
Working overtime completed what was assigned
We had to multiply ourselves
A bouncing little baby
A shiny copper penny
And he spent himself
Would not listen to us
But when he lost his appetite
He lost his weight in friends
Baby became a fat nickel so fast
Then came puberty
Exponentially
Soon our boy became a million
People loved him so
And helped him to grow
Everyone knew the thing that was best
Of course, he must invest
A penny won't do
But he made us proud
He made us rich
But how were we to know
He's counterfeit
Now everything's ruined
<@#Faith_No_More_Get_Out.txt#@>
What if there's no more fun to have?
And all I got is what I've had?
What if I have forgotten how?
Cut my losses and get out now
Get out, right now!
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
A new thing growing in me
It is the hardest thing to
To watch it grow on top of you
And see you're just like everyone
No fun!
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
A new thing growing in me
There's something I don't want to see
I don't speak that language anymore!
My blood is not that color anymore!
My blood don't shine the same way anymore!
I cannot deny it anymore!
No
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
Got a new thing growing in me
There's something I don't want to see
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
A new thing growing in me

The air is warm
I hear the wind and the trees
I know I'm there, but I'll never be
The wind is soft tonight, the tide is low
And I know the way
(I never felt better now)
Sometimes life, it moves too slow
Slows to a crawl, and then the poetry is lost
And without speed, hope becomes certainty
And for once I'm certain
(I never felt better now)
A garden is it's own perfect world
Where everything has a place
Every leaf, every stone, every speck of dirt
But where's my place?
I even tried to get arrested today
But everyone looked the other way
I count the hours, and I count the days
But for once I'm certain
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Helpless
You found a way to make me say
Help me please someone
The water's clear
I see that it's full of dimes
For every wish, I wonder why
Why all I want is something beautiful
A place to rest
(I never felt better now)
HELP

Crying alone

Arrive alone.

Girl listens to mom
So she lights a match and pretends to sleep
While everything burns
Man drives nowhere
So he pressed the pedal, hit a few dogs
And felt good
Boy hears teacher's words
So he closed his eyes and stepped in front
Of a train
Woo!
Woops!
Sorry 'bout that
It's just an accident
Revenge
Nobody forgets
Chop it into bits
The bitterness is hard to hide
It smells like homicide
Just nod and say it's O.K.
I can hear your voice echo
O.K. I lied-it's really the voice
Of the guy who kicked your head in
Look in the mirror
It seems you're drinking, miniature
And soon enough your gone
Woops!
Sorry 'bout that
It's just an accident
Revenge
Nobody forgets
Chop it into bits
The bitterness is hard to hide
It smells like homicide
Just nod and say it's O.K.
No one saw the perfect crime
I can't wait for the next time
The bitterness is hard to hide
It smells like homicide
Just nod and say it's O.K.
You try to make the moment
Last you sold it right in half
You die and have a nice day
Woops!
Sorry 'bout that
It's just an accident

I love to waltz with a man in a dark linen suit
All alone-at a party with someone I knew
From a time gone by turned into stone
You could be Garbo or even Marlene
You could be Marilyn...
Or you could forget
I play the part but then all of us do
And I do it so well as I do it to you
In this town full of strangers
In this town full of fools
Venus doesn't glitter when she stands next to you
When you're waltzing through stardom
You miss what you lose
Lose yourself in a silvery dress
For you think you must do what you feel you do best
And you mustn't give it up for you're still but a guest
You could be Garbo or even Marlene
Or you could forget

I heard a story the other day
And I've been wonderin' what they got to say
They said you took ma lady for a ride
They said it lasted to the morning light

I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who will lie down
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own
The only thing worse that not knowing
Is you think that I don't know
I'm having another episode
I just need a stronger dose
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own

<@#Fall_Out_Boy_Calm_Before_The_Storm.txt#@>
Sat outside my front window
This story's going somewhere
He's well hung and I am hanging on
There's a song on the radio that says
"Let's get this party started"
So let's get this party started
What you do on your own time's just fine
My imaginations much worse
I just never want to know
And what meant the world had folded
Like legs and fingers holding on to
What escapes me what he has:
A better kiss that never lasts
[Chorus]
You said between your smiles and regrets
"Don't say it's over"
Dead and gone
Dead and gone yeah
The calm before the storm, set it off
And the sun burnt out tonight
A reception less than warm, set it off
And the sun burnt out tonight
This is me standing in the arch of the door
Hating that look that's on your face
That says there's another fool like me
There's one born every minute
There's one born every minute
What you do on your own time's just fine
My imaginations much worse
I just never want to know (never want to know)
What meant the world imploded
Inflated then demoted all my
Oxygen to product gas
And suffocated my last chance
[Chorus]
Calm before the storm (set it of, set it off)
Calm before the storm (set it off, set it off)
The calm before the storm, set it off
And the sun burnt out tonight
A reception less than warm set it off
And the sun burnt out tonight
Sun burnt out tonight
The sun burnt out tonight

My heart is on my sleeve
Wear it like a bruise or black eye
My badge, my witness
That means I believed
Every single lie you said
Cause every pane of glass that your pebbles tap
Negates the pains I went through to avoid you
And every little tap on the shoulder for attention
Fails to mention I still hate you
But there's a light on in Chicago
And I know I should be home
All the colors of the street signs
They remind me of the pickup truck
Out in front of your neighbor's house
She took me down and said
"Boys like you are overrated. So save your breath"
Loaded words and loaded friends
Are loaded guns to our heads.
Cause every pane of glass that your pebbles tap
Negates the pains I went through to avoid you
And every little tap on the shoulder for attention
Fails to mention I still hate you
But there's a light on in Chicago
And I know I should be home
All the colors of the street signs
They remind me of the pickup truck
Out in front of your neighbor's house
You want apologies, girl you might hold your breath
Until your breathing stops forever
The only thing you'll get
Is this curse on your lips
I hope they taste of me forever
But there's a light on in Chicago
And I know I should be home
All the colors of the street signs
They remind me of the pickup truck
Out in front of your neighbor's...
With every breath I wish your body
Will be broken again
With every breath I wish your body
Will be broken again
(There's a light on)
With every breath I wish your body
Will be broken again
(There's a light on)
With every breath I wish your body
Will be broken again

She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
A joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue
And weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
I need them just to get by
Dance, dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance this is the way they'd look
If they knew how misery loved me
You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
I need them just to get by
Why don't you show me a little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress (love)
Dance, dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance this is the way they'd look
If they knew how misery loved me
Why don't you show me a little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress (with love)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
Dance, dance, we're falling apart to half time
Dance, dance, and these are the lives you love to lead
Dance this is the way they'd look
If they knew how misery loved me

This might just be a waste of time,
But there's no one I'd rather,
Waste my time with than all my best friends,
To stop this horror.
We'll all take turns not for the worst.
We're all has-beens and never-weres.
We're all in the back singing "Roxanne"
Just watching life pass us by. (Pass us by)
As if we had enough to try to kiss her.
Enough to make up for lost time.
Enough to make up for lost time.
We've been down, we've been out, we've been hanging round.
Take your passes to no direction, yeah.
Stop moving, get me out of this one horse town.
Waste this night.
Whoo!
We've been down, we've been out, we've been hanging round.
Take your passess to no direction, yeah.
Stop moving, get me out of this one horse town.
Waste this night, waste this night.

Oh,

As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
And I can't help but to hear,
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding," says a bridesmaid to the
waiter,
"And, yes, but what a shame, what a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore."
I chime in with a,

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.

<@#Fall_Out_Boy_Love_Will_Tear_Us_Apart.txt#@>
When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways
Taking different roads
Love, love will tear us apart
Again, again, again, again
Why is this bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through
Our lives
[Repeat: x4]
Love, love will tear us apart again
You cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
There's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Just that something so good
Just can't function more
[Repeat: x7]
Love, love will tear us apart again
<@#Fall_Out_Boy_Me_And_You.txt#@>
Last year's wishes are this year's apologies
Every last time I come home
I take my last chance
To burn a bridge or two
I only keep myself this sick in the head
'Cause I know how the words get you
We're the new face of failure
Prettier and younger, but not any better off
Bullet proof loneliness
At best, at best
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
(1x)
Collect the bad habits that you couldn't bear to keep
Out of the woods but I love
A tree I used to lay beneath
Kiss teeth stained red
From a sour bottle baby girl
With eyes the size of baby worlds
We're the new face of failure
Prettier and younger, but not any better off
Bullet proof loneliness
At best, at best
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
(3x)
The best way to make it through
With hearts and wrists in tact
Is to realize two out of three ain't bad
Ain't bad
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
(2x)
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
(honeymoon)
If I woke up next to you
(honeymoon)
<@#Fall_Out_Boy_Moving_Pictures.txt#@>
Last night I saw a movie
And I thought about many movies I've seen at your house
Excuse me if I'm rude
But I'd rather that we just strike from the record ones I'd see again without
you
Leaning on my shoulder
Distracting me from the plot line
Where can I go when I want you around
But I' can't stand to be around you
"Go home"
I'll walk myself to you
I'll walk myself away from here
"Go to hell" is all I thought for seven weeks
But I grew out of that phase looking at these broken photographs of people
Looking glossed just like a summer ago
Where can I go when I want you around
But I can't stand to be around you
"Go home"
I'll walk myself to you
I'll walk myself away from here
"Call me back" I'm pleading with a cork in my head
It wouldn't be the first time
My pillow has been mistaken
Where can I go when I want you around
But I can't stand to be around you
"Go home"
I'll walk myself to you
I'll walk myself away from here
Can't stand to be around you
Around you, around you
Can't stand to be around you
Can't stand, I can't stand
To be around you
Around you

It's Courtney, bitch.
(Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat hey)
No thesis existed for burning cities down at such a rampant rate
No graphics and no fucking PowerPoint presentation
So they just DIY'd that shit and built their own bombs
She's his suicide blond, she's never in gold
Are you ready for another bad poem?
One more off key anthem
Let your teeth sink in
Remember me as I was not as I am
And I said "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead,"
I kept wishing she had blonde ambition and she'd let it go to my head
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my love is a weapon
There's no second guessing when I say
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my heart is a grenade
You pull the pin and say
We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the hopes
Of a few minutes more
To get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
'Cause it's never
Getting any better than this
We are professional ashes of roses
This kerosene's live
You settled your score
This is where you come to beg, unborn and unshaven
Killing fields of fire to a congress of ravens
This is what we do, we nightmare you
I'm about to make the sweat roll backwards
And your heart beat in reverse
Our guts can't be reworked
As alone as a little white church in the middle of the desert
Getting burned
But I'll take your heart served up two ways
I sing a bitter song
I'm the lonelier version of you
I just don't know where it went wrong
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my love is a weapon
There's no second guessing when I say
Rat a tat tat

If my heart is a grenade

She's sick and she's wrong
She's young dirty blonde
And you sink inside her like a suicide bomb
He says "I've seen bigger"
She says "I've lit better"
And they throw the matches down into the glitter
Not a dry eye left in the house
Go boy, go boy, run for your life
Go boy, go boy, run for your life
Go boy, go boy, run for your life
We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the hopes
Of a few minutes more
To get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
'Cause it's never

It's the only reason that I sing
I don't believe a word you say,
But I can't stop listening
This is the story of how they met,
Her picture was on the back of a pack of cigarettes,
And when she touched him he turned ruby red
A story that they'll never forget
Never forget
And all the boys are smoking Menthol's,
Girls are getting back rubs,
I will drift to you if you make yourself shake fast enough
My old aches become new again
My old friends become ex's again

And the love on TV, love on TV

Emily shrugs and drags her heels as she takes the guided tour
It seemed like such an amazing deal
When she was looking at the brochure
Stuck on a bus with strangers
Wishing she could be ay home
With me poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?
Lyin' in bed
The pain in my head
From running around all day
Tryin' to find what was rightfully mine
But I ran out of things to say
Runnin' around with strangers
Wishing she could run away with me..
Poor little emily,
How does it feel to be free
From familiar fingertips
To a persecuted grip?
From the pan into the fire
Now a thread becomes a wire
Under which you must crawl
Through a ditch and over the wall
Emily works her fingers
Right down to her aching bones
While my aching head's got me stuck
In bed working on being alone
Working around the clock
Wishing she had worked it out with me
Poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?
Poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?

How does it feel to be free?

Well I spent all my money at the record store
Bought a copy of "Revolver" and some Gang of Four
Singles Going Steady
Billie Holliday
They had it all on vinyl
And I was blown away
Then I walked around the corner to my favorite bar
I do a lot more walkin' since I wrecked my car
They all know my name here
I feel right at home
I just might spend the night here
Since I know you're not alone
And then they play that song I love
And I feel like I just can't loose
I feel like I should call you up
But I'll stay here all night
'Till I get it right
Well I wrote you a letter but I tore it up
Then I wrote another letter and I tore it up
Stare up at the ball game
On the TV screen
If you care to find me
You'll know where I'll be
And then they play that song I love
And I feel like I just can't loose
I feel like I should call you up
But I'll stay here all night
'Till I get it right
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
And then they play that song I love
And I feel like I just can't loose
I feel like I should call you up
But I'll stay here all night
'Till I get it right
And then they play that song I hate
And I feel like I just can't win
I'm breakin' down
The room begins to spin
I'll stay here all night
'Till I get it right
<@#Fatboy_Slim_Body_Movin_(Beastie_Boys).txt#@>
Body movin', body movin'
A1 sound, sound so soothin'
Body movin', body movin'
We be gettin' down and you know we're crush groovin'
Let me get some action from the back section
We need body rockin', not perfection
Let your backbone flip but don't slip a disc
Let your spine unwind just take a risk
I wanna do the freak until the break of dawn
Tell me party people is that so wrong?
The ship is dockin', interlockin'
And up-rockin', electro-shockin'
We're getting down, computer action
Do the robotic satisfaction
All of ya'll get off the wall
Have a ball and get involved with
Body movin', body movin'
With the A1 sound, sound so soothin'
Body movin', body movin'
We be gettin' down and you know we're crush groovin'
Flame on, I'm gone
I'm so sweet like a nice bon bon
Came out rappin' when I was born
Mom said, "Rock it 'til the break of dawn"
Puttin' bodies in motion 'cause I got the notion
Like Roy Cormier with the coconut lotion
The sound of the music drivin' you insane
You can't explain to people this type of mind frame
Like a bottle of Chateau Neuf de Pap[sic]
I'm fine like wine when I start to rap
We need body rockin' not perfection
Let me get some action from the back section
Body movin', body movin'
A1 sound, sound so soothin'
Body movin', body movin'
We be gettin' down and you know we're crush groovin'
Mike D with the master plan
Ooh my my and thank you ma'am
And when I grab the mic you scream "ooh goddamn!"
The creme de la creme is who I am
Mca where have you been?
Packed like sardines in the tin
So kick off your shoes and put on your swim fins
'Cause when it comes to quarries I'm known to swim
Adrock light up the place
And if you pull my card you pull the ace
And if you ask me, turn up the bass
And if you play Defender I could be your hyperspace
Body movin', body movin'
A1 sound, sound so soothin'
Body movin', body movin'
We be gettin' down and you know we're crush groovin'

To tired to walk it was a long way from home,
The moon froze the night
To tired to walk it was a long way from home,
The moon froze the night
Switch the channel on my T-V,
And the cameras are fixed on me again,
I'm running and I'm running and I can't seem to hide,
The skies so red that I'm loosing my mind
I can't get my head to stop this feeling inside
The four walls are coming and I can't get outside
The fours walls have come taking all that's mind
There steeling my toys leave no memories behind
Everything's changing nothing seems the same,
They ? my thoughts not cars or trains
The thoughts were bought but kept me sane
Everything's changing nothing seems the same,
To tired to walk it was a long way from home,
The moon froze the night
To tired to walk it was a long way from home,
The moon froze the night
Stare out my window, I'm yearning for more
Bust for my borrowers and settle the score
I want my toys but the man out there's to hard
Running around, feet on the ground
Can't seem to understand this game there playing
And no one seem to wanna sit with me.
To tired to walk it was a long way from home,
The moon froze the night
To tired to walk it was a long way from home,
The moon froze the night
To tired to walk it was a long way from home,
The moon froze the night
To tired to walk it was a long way from home,
The moon froze the night
To tired to walk it was a long way from home,
The moon froze the night
To tired to walk it was a long way from home,
The moon froze the night

[Intro: Camila]
Tired, tired, you're all I want, yeah
[Verse 1: Camila]
It'll be 'til the end, give me nothing I've ever tried
It'll be the perfect sin, something like the truest lie
[Normani]
Everywhere somehow, the only place I'll ever be
As long as you hold me down, oh such a liberty
[Pre-Chorus: Dinah]
Warm me with your touch, pressure from your fingertips
Never be enough, I'll do nothing but submit
[Chorus: Lauren]
I just wanna feel a thousand hands from you, only you
Can you make me feel a thousand hands from you, only you?
[Verse 2: Normani]
Grab a hold of my soul and make me feel complete within you'll be the one to
show these goosebumps on my skin
[Ally]
I'll wear my heart on my sleeve, I need you to feel the pain
Would you take a bullet for me? Cause you know I'll do the same
[Pre-Chorus: Dinah]
Warm me with your touch, pressure from your fingertips
Never be enough, I'll do nothing but submit
[Chorus: Camila]
I just wanna feel a thousand hands from you and only you
Can you make me feel a thousand hands from you and only you?
[Outro: Camila]
I just want to feel a thousand, from you
A thousand hands from you
Just wanna feel a thousand
A thousand hands from you
Feel a thousand hands from you

Calling all the girls
There's an SOS tonight, let's have some fun, yeah
One hundred percent
Every single chase somehow these days are gone, yeah
There's gotta be a million faces up in this room, room
But the only one who gets my attention is you, you
I got my best on and I feel like dancing all night long
Nothing's gonna stop me oh but I want
So baby come and get me, cause I don't wanna dance alone
Oh it's been so long
Thinking 'bout the feeling of your arms wrapped around my body
It's what I want
So baby come and get me, cause I don't wanna dance alone
Out on the floor
I can feel you staring at me across the room, ooh
Whatcha waiting for
All I want is you so come and make a move, oh
I see a million silver lights up in this room, ooh
I wanna be the one who gets the attention from you, oh
I got my best on and I feel like dancing all night long
Nothing's gonna stop me
Oh but I want
So baby come and get me, cause I don't wanna dance alone
Oh it's been so long
Thinking 'bout the feeling of your arms wrapped around my body
It's what I want
So baby come and get me, cause I don't wanna dance alone
If you come in close
Then I won't say no
Baby all I want is you
If you move too slow
Then you'll never know
All the things that we could do
If you come in close
Then I won't say no
Baby all I want is you
If you move too slow
Then you'll never know
All the things that we could do
I got my best on and I feel like dancing all night long
Nothing's gonna stop me

[Chorus]
This is how we roll
We stay in the street
And get it all week cause
This is how we roll
We gotta get out
Can't stay in the house cause
The party don't end
Every weekend
Turn up, baby, burn up
Again and again
This is how we roll
We rollin', we rollin', we rollin'
[Verse 1]
Everybody in the party
If you came here to party
Better move your body
Damn look at that body
Everybody in here
Put your hands in the air
Wave 'em like you don't care
Let me hear you say 'yeah'
[Pre-Chorus]
This place is jumpin'
We keep it bumpin'
The boys keep watchin'
Wanna leave with something
We makin' it clap
Clap, clap, clap, clap
We don't need hands for that
That, that, that, that
[Chorus]

Get wild and crazy
If you wanna get crazy
So free, so young
So you can't blame me, yup
Let's get this clear
All the boys over there
Keep lookin' over here
But we don't care
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Pull your camera out
Cause someone's gonna wanna see this
Take a picture, snap it
Aye, post it for the world
Cause when we goin' out
We run the town
Better believe it
We gon' be sexy, sexy
Me and my girls, girls, girls
This is how we roll

<@#Fiona_Apple_Angel.txt#@>
(Jimi Hendrix)
Angel come on down from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the love between the moon
And the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high above me
And she said she gonna come back tomorrow
And I said
Fly on by, sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Tomorrow I will be right by your side
Sure enough, this woman came home to me
Silver wings, silhouette against a child's own prize
Oh, angel, she said unto me
Today is the day for you to rise
Take my hand, take my hand
You're gonna rise
And then, she took me high over yonder
And I said
Fly on by, sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel
Forever I will be right by your side
Ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo, ooh
I, uh-huh, I, uh-huh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
I, I, uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
<@#Fiona_Apple_Daredevil.txt#@>
I guess I just must be a daredevil
I don't feel anything until I smash it up
I'm caught on the cold, caught on the hot
Not so with the warmer lot
And all I want's a confidante
To help me laugh it off
And don't let me ruin me
I may need a chaperone
Say I'm an airplane
And the gashes I got from my heartbreak
Make the slots and the flaps upon my wing
And I use them to give me lip
Hip hip for the lift
Hip hip for the drag
I want them all in my bag
Oh give me anything and I'll turn it into a gift
But don't let me ruin me
I may need a chaperone
Seek me out
Look at, look at, look at, look at me
I'm all the fishes in the sea
Wake me up
Give me, give me, give me what you got
In your mind, in the middle of the night
Maybe you let me look out for you
Protect that I found in you
And never let it starve
Then that way, you let me stay
Skirt in my the skirt like I want to
And I will try hard to hold onto you with open arms
But don't let me ruin me
I may need a chaperone
<@#Fiona_Apple_Frosty_The_Snowman.txt#@>
Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away"
Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there
All around the square
Saying, "Catch me if you can"
He led them down
The streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment
When he heard them holler, "Stop!"
Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying, "Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day"
<@#Fiona_Apple_Kissing_My_Love.txt#@>
(Bill Withers)
When I'm kissing my love
I can hear a thump thumping in my head
Mmm when I'm kissing my love
I close my eyes and see
A pretty city
With a million flowerbeds
Ah I can hear the angels sing
Songs that only angels sing
He's such a pretty thing
That I can feel my heart
Just a thumping and a skipping
When I'm kissing my love
Mmm ah when I'm kissing my love
I feel the blood pumping in my veins
Mmm when I'm kissing my love
He's such a tender sender
With a sweet young frame
Oh he's so good at what he does
All I wanna do is kiss and hug
He's got me in love
And I can feel my heart
Just a thumping and a skipping
When I'm kissing my love
When I'm kissing my love
When he's kissing me
When I'm kissing my love
When he's kissing me
When he's kissing me
When I'm kissing my love
When he's kissing me
When I'm kissing my love
When I'm kissing my love
When he's kissing me
When I'm kissing my love
When he's kissing me
When he's kissing me
When I'm kissing my love
When he's kissing me
When I'm kissing my love
When he's kissing me
When I'm kissing my love
When he's kissing me
When I'm kissing my love
Ah when I'm kissing my love
I feel the blood pumping in my veins
Oh when I'm kissing my love
He's such a tender sender
With a sweet young frame
Oh now he's so good at what he does
All I wanna do is kiss and hug
He's got me in love
And I can feel my heart
Just a thumping and a skipping
When I'm kissing my love
When I'm kissing my love
When he's kissing me

<@#Fiona_Apple_Leaving_On_A_Jet_Plane.txt#@>
All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
but the dawn is breaking, its early morn
the taxi's waiting he's blowin' his horn
Already, I'm so lonesome I could die.
(Chorus)
So kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
I dont know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe I hate to go.
There's so many times I've let you down,
so many times I've been around, but
I don't know, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go I think of you,
every song I sing, I sing for you.
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring.
(Chorus)
Now the time has come to leave you,
one more time oh let me kiss you...
Now close your eyes and I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
when I wont have to leave alone
about the times that I wont have to say...
(Chorus)
And I'm leaving on a jet plane
don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe I hate to go
but I'm leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane
on a jet plane.
<@#Fiona_Apple_Please_Come_Home_For_Christmas.txt#@>
Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh what a christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone (my baby's gone) I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing silent night
Those christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for christmas (please come home)
Please come home for christmas (please come home)
If not for christmas by new year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above (yes they do)
This is christmas, christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love
Then won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
Christmas and new year (christmas and new year's)
Will find you at home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
I'll be happy (happy) that it's christmas once again.
<@#Fiona_Apple_Poem.txt#@>
(Recited before performing Sleep To Dream)
"When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king
What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight
And he'll win the whole thing before he enters the ring
There's nobody to batter when your mind is your might
So when you go solo you hold your own hand
And remember that depth is the greatest of heights
And if you know where you stand then you know where to land
And if you fall it won't matter ''cause you know that you're right"
<@#Fiona_Apple_Sallys_Song.txt#@>
I sense there's something in the wind
That seems like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be
What will become of my dear friend
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one

Sitting here in Limbo
Waiting for the tide turn.
Yeah, now, sitting here in Limbo,
So many things I've got to learn.
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.
Sitting here in Limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll.
Yeah, now, sitting here in Limbo,
Still got some time to search my soul.
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.
I don't know where life will take me,
But I know where I have been.
I don't know what life will show me,
But I know what I have seen.
Tried my hand at love and friendship,
That is past and gone.
And now it's time to move along.
Sitting here in Limbo
Like a bird ain't got a song.
Yeah, I'm sitting here in Limbo
And I know it won't be long
'Til I make my getaway, now.
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.
I don't know where life will take me,
But I know where I have been.
I don't know what life will show me,
But I know what I have seen.
Tried my hand at love and friendship,
That is past and gone.
And now it's time to move along.
Gonna lead me on now.
Meanwhile, they're putting up resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.
Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo.
Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo.
Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo.
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on.
<@#Fiona_Apple_Sleep_To_Dream.txt#@>
I tell you how I feel but you don't care
I say tell me the truth but you don't dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bear
And I say give me mine back and go there
For all I care
I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem
This mind this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you don't come around I got my own hell to raise
I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool but you just run to hide
I can't abide
I got my feet on the ground
Don't make it a big deal don't be so sensitive
We're not playing a game anymore you don't have to be defensive
Don't you plead me your case don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face 'cause it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock from under which you came
Take the sorrows you gave and all the stakes you claim
And don't forget to blame
I got my feet on the ground
I got my feet on the ground

Don't turn your back on me baby
Don't turn your back on me baby
Yes, don't turn your back on me baby
You're messin' around with your tricks
Don't turn your back on me baby
'Cause you might just break up my magic stick

She wants me to be her friend
I'm lonely again
Tore a page of my heart
[Chorus:]
Oh, tell me who wrote the book of love
Was it somebody from above (ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...)
Surely he must know all the rules (ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...)
Knowledge not meant for mortal fools
Must have been someone from above
Tell me, who wrote the book of love (oh, oh, oh, oh...whoa...)
In silence the lonely make
All their mistakes
Tore a page of my heart
Someone in heaven above
Shop me how to love
Tore a page of my heart...
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]

Two kinds of people in this world
Winners, losers
I lost my power in this world
Cause I did not use it
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
She's a lot like you
Two kinds of trouble in this world
Living, dying
I lost my power in this world
And the rumors are flying
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
She's a lot like you
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
She's a lot like you
<@#Fleetwood_Mac_Gold_Dust_Woman.txt#@>
Rock on gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon
Dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise loves to go down
Lousy lovers pick their prey
But they never cry out loud
Cry out
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
And is it over now do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.
Rock on ancient queen
Follow those who pale
In your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale
Up for sale
Well did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
And is it over now, do you know how
Pickup the pieces and go home.
Well did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
And now tell me
Is it over now, do you know how
Pickup the pieces and go home
Go home
Go home
Pale
Shadow
Of a woman
Pale
Shadow
Of a dragon
Dust woman
Pale
Shadow
Of a woman
Black widow
Pale
Shadow
She's a dragon
Gold dust woman
Woman, woman
<@#Fleetwood_Mac_Goodbye_Baby.txt#@>
Don't take me to the tower
And take my child away
It was I who was
The hourglass
And the sands of time like
Shattering glass went past me
Like a tunnel to the sea
And I who went to sleep as two
Woke up as one now only you remain
You'll close your eyes and travel back
To the time when the light went fading fast
And the words you'll never, never forget, oh no
As you slipped away
Goodbye baby
I hope your heart's not broken
Don't forget me
Yes I was outspoken
You were with me all the time
I'll be with you one day
And I who went to sleep in tears
Woke up in tears, for all of the years
And I who never, never said goodbye
As I slipped away
Goodbye baby
I hope your heart's not broken
Don't forget me
Yes I was outspoken
You were with me all the time
I'll be with you one day
Goodbye baby
I hope your heart's not broken
Don't forget me
Yes I was outspoken
You were with me all the time
I'll be with you one day
Yes, I'll be with you one day

Now, my baby's a country girl,
And she just can't help herself.
Yes, my baby's a country girl,
And she just can't help herself.
And every time I tell her I'm gonna leave her,
She say I don't want nobody else.
I sat around and cried,
'til the tears run down my cheek.
Yes, I sat around at night and cried,
'til the tears run down my cheek.
I said Baby, don't you worry,
I got you plenty milk and meat.
One day baby, you gonna think your dad's gone.
Oh, baby. Don't every think your daddy's gone.
Well, you know he right there with you,
Standing in blood and all.
Well, I buys her everything she need,
She don't even have to go nowhere.
My baby gets everything she needs,
She don't even have to go nowhere.
Now, God aughta bless me, aughta bless me
I even bought that girl some help.
Weren't for lipstick and powder,
No I don't know what my baby would do.
Weren't for lipstick and powder,
I don't know what in the world that girl would do.
But I love that woman in this story I'm tellin' you.
Baby, honey, do you feel alright?
Hey, baby, I wanna know do you feel alright?
I wanna love you baby,
If you tell me daddy you knew I ain't tired tonight.
<@#Fleetwood_Mac_Illume_(9-11).txt#@>
Illume says the candle that I burn
A reflection in the window
All the way to Point Dume
Illume, like it dances
I am a cliff dweller
From the old school
I like the coastal cities
I like the lights
I like the way the ocean blends
Into the city at night
It's like living on a working river
The coastline is glittering
Like a diamond snake
In a black sky
I'm alone now
With my thoughts
Of how we could make it
Of how we could get out
What we've been through
All of the trauma
The smell of Nag Champra
Shadow of a stranger
I will not take you for granted
I wouldn't trade you for jade
Or for diamonds
Not for one minute
Not for anything
I need you to be there
Just remember when I am haunted
That I was just so scared
I'm alone now
With my thoughts
Of how we could make it
Of how we could get out
What we've been through
All of the trauma
The smell of Nag Champra
Shadow of a stranger
What I saw on this journey
I saw history go down
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
It's just like a river
Ooh, it's never ending
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
Because it's just like a river
It's never ending
It's just like a river
It's never ending
I'm alone now
With my thoughts
Of how we could make it
Of how we could get out
What we've been through
All of the trauma
The smell of Nag Champra
Shadow of a stranger
What I saw on this journey
I saw history go down
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
It's just like a river
Ooh, it's never ending
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
I'm alone now
With my thoughts
Of how we could make it
Of how we could get out
What we've been through
All of the trauma
The smell of Nag Champra
Shadow of a stranger
What I saw on this journey
Is what legends are made of
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
It's just like a river
Ooh, it's never ending
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
Because it's just like a river
It's never ending
It falls away
Like a river
It's never ending

Moonshine time
Thoughts of you
Spinning round
As thoughts do
I just wondered if
Your eyes still shine
As they did
When you were mine
I can see
In a dream
Thoughts so clear
And jewels that gleam
Would your eyes
Still sparkle then
If we were, once again
Jewel eyed Judy please come home
Jewel eyed Judy don't leave me alone
Jewel eyed Judy please come home
Jewel eyed Judy don't leave me alone
Lovely Judy
Can you see
Where it is
You're meant to be
Where you lay
Your head tonight
May the stars
Find your light
So am I
Sitting here
Moonlight glistens
On my tears
Is this all
That we could find
Chains of memories
Left behind
Jewel eyed Judy please come home
Jewel eyed Judy don't leave me alone
Jewel eyed Judy please come home
Jewel eyed Judy don't leave me alone

You're my little saviour
You're the one I sleep with at night
You take me in and promise me I'll be alright
You're my little angel down from the heaven above
I can't ask for much anymore,
But you still smile and give me your love
So if you fall asleep tomorrow,
Then I know we can make it through this night
But if you fall asleep as I hold you tight,
You'll have moved on,
Your love will be gone
You're my little saviour,
Hold me close and stare up into the stars
Let me know if you think that there's someone up there
Who still believes in us
After I've lost all their trust,
Just need someone to believe us
So please just fall asleep tomorrow,
'Cause sugar I know we can make it through the night
Cause if you fall asleep as I hold you tight
You'll have moved on, your love will be gone
You were my little saviour,
I was supposed to hold you through the night
But I guess I let you down inside...
You're my little saviour
I loved you

There's a magic surrounds you
Tell me where your secret lies

Well there will be times
When the memories fade
There will be words we've said
We just can't take away
I'm only saying
That as time goes sailing on
Nothing is forgotten baby
Nothing is really gone
I remember the nights in Estoril
A kiss and oh the never ending thrill
And I remember the coming storm
Oh and you my love, how you kept me warm
Well there will be times
When we can't agree
We can't help but see things
A little differently
I'm only saying
That as time goes sailing on
How can something so right
Ever be wrong
I remember the nights in Estoril
A kiss and oh the never ending thrill
And I remember the coming storm
Oh and you my love, how you kept me warm
Your hand reaching out to me
Dark clouds gathering in their wake
I've seen it all before
But I've never felt it more
This time there is no mistake
Oh I remember
And I remember the coming storm
Oh and you my love, how you kept me warm
I remember the nights in Estoril
A kiss and oh the never ending thrill
And I remember the coming storm
Oh and you my love, how you kept me warm
I remember
Remember...
<@#Fleetwood_Mac_Remember_Me.txt#@>
All you have to do
Is look at me that way
You don't have to say
What's going on in your heart
And deep in the night
When I think you won't drive me crazy
I'm just hoping that maybe
You're feeling the same way to
I want you and I need you
I don't know what else to say
(Don't you) Don't you think it's time
(Don't you) Don't you think it's time (Don't you)
Don't you think it's time That you remember me
So I'm begging you
Not to leave me up in the air
It just wouldn't be fair
'Cause you know the way
I feel about you
It may not be love
Or an everlasting feeling
But you sending me reeling
With the very mention of your name
I want you and I need you
I don't know what else to say
(Don't you) Don't you think it's time
(Don't you) Don't you think it's time (Don't you)
Don't you think it's time That you remember me
Remember me...

Tell me anybody
Now do you really give a damn for me
I said tell me anybody
Do you really give a damn for me
Oh 'cause I just got to tell you
About a thing that's bothering me
I was a rambling pony
I would roll, I would roll
I would roll from town to town
I was a rambling pony
I would roll from town to town
Yes just looking for a sweet woman
And making my love come on down
If I need anybody
Baby I would take you home with me
If I need anybody
Baby I would take you, Baby I would take you
Baby I would take you home with me
Whoa but I don't need nobody
I don't anybody but him and me
And you're sitting there so green
Believe me man I'm just the same as you
I said you're sitting there so green
Believe me man I'm just the same as you
You want me to make a last cry I'll be satisfied
And that's exactly what I mean to do
<@#Fleetwood_Mac_Somebody.txt#@>
Written by bob welch.
Don't think your dreams are sane
They're taking over your life
I stuck to you but I found out
That you was the crazy kind
Now way inside your heart
Do you have a grain of love for me
'cause all I see is decadence
And the end of everything
You can bend over backwards
I ain't gonna kiss your ring
Somebody
I looked into your eyes
And saw a real bad thing
I saw desires that burned in you
The need for power to be a king
And I saw that you would use this world
You know you might have to crawl
But it's one of my eyes for one of yours
And you'll never get no love at all
<@#Flo-Rida_All_My_Life.txt#@>
[Chorus: x2]
All my life, had to hustle just to make a way
All my life, riding dirty on the highway
All my life and it all changed in one day
All my life it's the moment I been waiting on
The hood never caused but they all was hard
His kind never represented love at all
Purple hearts in the hood, them ghetto scars
Where every time I see my daddy it was just a mirage
Now my mammy need a mechanic when the car wouldn't start
I couldn't understand it, even told it to god
Now my family in jeans, headed straight to the top
Access granted with this empty can of starch
No not the Bentley liquor store got robbed
Yellow tape was the moon every night on the block
Surrounded by the stars them dirty cars
Dreadlocks in the grill try to camouflage
Gotta make it out for real for I be at large
I wrote XXL in the view of my squad
Got a record on the shelf they say I'm good at the mall
Gotta learn to help myself no sugar to borrow
Cause
[Chorus: x2]
A four course meal every first of the month
Everybody in the projects family home
Don't know you till the DJ like I want some
But before thanksgiving, was a catholic nun
Crabs in the bucket dirty 11 to 1
Without the struggle probably never would'a heard of Lebron
Try and juggle in the casket wit ya sister Lavonne
Suicide, live lavish at the tip of my tongue
Only thing come to ratchet was the 23rd song
Yeah it could of been tragic for the boy from the scums
Yeah he got the craft-matic no rest till I won
Life took a stab at him couldn't punch him alone
Born near the savages kinda made me numb
Two doors from where the dope boi magic was slung
It was real not a fancy, they'd kill ya for crumbs
Only reason why I rap, keep from being a bum
Cause
[Chorus: x2]
Sitting here, reminiscing,
Of all the nights I had to grind
Taking chances with the system,
I put my whole life on the line
All my life know it ain't been sweet
All my life I been in the streets
All my life up against concrete
All my life mama gave me the speech
All my life somebody died every week
All my life ducking the police
All my life without soda I weeped
All my life no first class seats
[Chorus: x2]

Hey I heard you were a wild one ooh
If I took you home, it'd be a home run
Show me how you do
I want to shut down the club, with you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones (wild ones, wild ones) ooh
I like crazy, foolish, stupid
Party going wild, fist pumping
Music, I might lose it
Blast to the roof, that how we do'z it (do'z it do'z it)
I don't care the night, she don't care we like
Almost dared the right five
Ready to get live, ain't no surprise
Take me so high, jump and don't stop
Surfing the crowd ooh said I gotta be the man
When they heading my van, mic check one two
Shut them down in the club while the playboy does it, and y'all get lose lose
Out the bottle, we all get bent and again tomorrow
Gotta break loose cause that's the motto
Club shuts down, a hundred super models
Hey I heard you were a wild one ooh
If I took you home, it'd be a home run
Show me how you do
I wanna shut down the club, with you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones (wild ones, wild ones) ooh
Party rocker, fa-show stopper, more shampoo
Number one, club popper
Got a hangover like too much vodka
Can't see me with ten binoculars, so cool
No doubt by the end of the night
Got the clothes coming off til I make that move
Somehow, someway, gotta raise the roof, roof
All black shades when the sun come through
Oh, it's on like everything goes, round up baby til the freaky show
What happens to that body, it's a private show
Stays right here, private show
I like em untamed, don't tell me hide pain
Tolerance, bottoms up with the champagne
My life, coming harder when we hit fame
Do you busy with the bail, we get insane
Hey I heard you were a wild one ooh
If I took you home, it'd be a home run
Show me how you do
I want to shut down the club, with you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones (wild ones, wild ones) ooh
I am a wild one, break me in
Saddle me up and lets begin
I am a wild one, tame me now
Running with wolves and I'm on the prowl
Show you another side of me
A side you would never thought you would see
Tear up that body dominate you til you had 'nough
I hear you like the wild stuff
Hey I heard you were a wild one ooh
If I took you home, it'd be a home run
Show me how you'll do
I want to shut down the club, with you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones (wild ones wild ones) ooh
I am a wild one break me in
Saddle me up and let's begin
I am a wild one tame me now

Hate it now, call when I'm done

Take a high dive in to your brain
Made your only cause
Just might wear your welcome out if you don't' let It go
There's nothing that you couldn't say Cauze you Said it all before
Think it's time you walked this lonely road all on Your own
So it's your cold day in the sun
Looks like your bleeding heart has already won
I could take it away
Save you from yourself
You get so lost inside your head like no one else
Looking for someone to blame
Blame me all along
You take the heat but you would never take the Fall
It's your cold day in the sun
Looks like your bleeding heart has already won
You're so afraid that you are the only one
But you are the only one you know
Don't be afraid 'cause you're not the only one
You're not the only one I know
It's your cold day in the sun
Looks like your bleeding heart has already won
It's your cold day in the sun

Call and I'll answer
At home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taken pleasure
In breaking down
Never mind the mannequins
Drunk in their hollow town
Drinking their spoils down
Cheap imitations
A revelation is now
Yeah, you won't find me
I'm going M.I.A.
Tonight I'm leaving
Going M.I.A.
Getting lost in you again
Is better than being numb
Counting every minute
Till the feeling comes crashing down
Run when it hits the ground
I'm good at escaping,
But better at flaking out
Calling unanswered
The center becomes blown out
Stuck on the inside now
It's fear I'm embracing
I never could face you down
Yeah, you won't find me
I'm going M.I.A.
Tonight I'm leaving
Going M.I.A.
Getting lost in you again
Is better than being numb
Red, red, laced around your head
Cold and rescued
Call and I'll answer
At home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taken pleasure
In breaking down
Never mind the mannequins
Drunk in their hollow town
Drinking their spoils down
Cheap imitations
A revelation is now
Yeah, you won't find me
I'm going M.I.A.
Tonight I'm leaving
Going M.I.A.
So you don't find me
I'm going M.I.A.
Tonight I'm leaving
Going M.I.A.

Better than playing dumb

Goodbye Jimmy, farewell youth
Must be on my way I have had enough of you.
Was a young man proud and true
Just a simple boy with nothing else to lose
Years that I've wasted these I owe you's
They're just fucking words
This is life or death
It's time to clear the air you better save your breath
Say have you heard
Say have you heard
The poison in my heart and the voices in my head
Years that I've waited these I owe you's
I meant every word for word for word forward.
Word for word for word forward.
Word for word for word forward.
Word for word for word forward.
But it's only words
I meant every word
They're just fucking words
Word for word for word forward.
Word for word for word forward.
Word for word for word forward.

Some people stay all alone and hide
They don't even want to know the reason why
They've given up on finding someone new
But new love comes, it's gonna come for you
When true love comes, it's gonna comfort you
Now you say you've got a broken heart
You oughta know this side of love can leave you torn apart
Dry your eyes 'cause your heart's gonna mend
And maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
But I know, I know that you're down on love
But you're wrong, so wrong
To be down on love
Now love seems so far away
Your skies are so cloudy
And the tears come like fallin' rain
Face up to it and don't pretend
And maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Just once in a lifetime you'll realize
When love takes two, only one heart cries
But you're wrong, so wrong to be down on love
You know you're not the only one
See I've been down on love
In matters of the heart
You better know before you start
You can't get down on love
So always be prepared
To be alone and a little scared
But never down on love
You see you can't stay down forever, girl
Down on love
Come on, now
Don't get down on love
This ain't right baby, no
Down on love
Don't you go through life livin' down on love
Down on love
Don't you go through life livin' down on love

Don't you go through life down on love

And I'm lyin' awake in bed
And outside my window
The rain's just pourin' down
And there's a pain inside my head, oh yeah
I looked hard into the mirror
Took some water in my hands
And threw it on my face
But your memory won't fade away
I see you everywhere
Around this empty space
This night's too long, fadin' fast
I tell myself, this pain won't last
It's just a flesh wound
Missin' my heart but it still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound, yeah
It tore me apart and I still can't sleep
You know you really did it well
Now I'm lyin' on a bed of nails
But it's nothin' but a flesh wound
Better pull myself together
Gotta hold my head up high
That's what I've got to do
No damage done
But deep inside my heart
Who am I tryin' to fool

Not a lot of time to think today

Didn't need it anyway
Guess I knew somehow
I feel love around me
And the feeling grows
As your love surrounds me
How was I to know
That straight out of nowhere
You'd come to me
Out of the blue
Into my heart
You came to me
Out of the blue
Into my heart
Never know what life can bring your way
You never learn
Over night, from day to day
Where our love's concerned
It was so hard to hold on
But I never let go
For so long, so hard to take
How was I to know
That right out of nowhere
You'd come to me
Out of the blue
Into my heart
You came to me
Out of the blue
Straight to my heart
Ooh girl it was you
You came out of the blue

And brother you won't let anybody help
Why do you sacrifice yourself?
You can't go on this way
Tell me why, oh why?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are
And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There ain't no good reason why
You've got to feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain
Hey sister, another story must be told
Just count the blessings you still hold
What's done is done
Hey sister, you can find the one you need
Don't have to live the life you lead
Don't be the lonely one
Tell me why, oh why?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are
And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There ain't no good reason why
You've got to feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine, oooh
Don't get down and don't get washed away, oooh
Just remind yourself every day
That into each life
A little rain must fall
So let it rain
Rain, oooh
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain
Rain, rain, rain
When it looks like rain...
<@#Frank_Sinatra_A_Long_Night.txt#@>
Long night, it's a long night, my friend
The barrooms and the back street's dead end
Sometimes I thought I saw the sunrise and good times in the air
It was just, it was just another big town with midnight's neon glare
Long night, it's a long night, I know
The bus rides and the "nowhere to go"
I've seen what the street corners do to things like love and dreams
Seen what the bottle can do to a man with his hopes and his schemes
A long night, what a long night it has been
The wheelers and the dealers, they win
I've tasted the 90-proof gin and chased it away with the blues
I rarely paid debts that I owed but I sure have paid my dues
No daylight, just a long night for me
<@#Frank_Sinatra_Arent_You_Glad_Youre_You.txt#@>
verse)
do you make the most of your five senses,
Or is your life like Old Mother Hubbard's shelf?
Well, mark this on your slate,
Life is not an empty plate.
That's if you appreciate yourself.
(refrain)
Ev'ry time you're near a rose,
Aren't you glad you've got a nose?
And if the dawn is fresh with dew,
Aren't you glad you're you?
When a meadowlark appears,
Aren't you glad you've got two ears?
And if your heart is singing, too,
Aren't you glad you're you?
You can see a summer sky,
Or touch a friendly hand,
Or taste an apple pie.
Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand?
And when you wake up each morn,
Aren't you glad that you were born?
Think what you've got the whole day through,
Aren't you glad you're you?
<@#Frank_Sinatra_As_You_Desire_Me.txt#@>
As you desire me, so shall I come to you,
Howe'er you wander, so shall I be,
Be it forever, or be it just a day,
As you desire me, come what may.
I doubt not but you will do what you will with me,
I give my life to you 'cause you're my destiny.
And now, come take me, my soul is yours.
As you desire me, I come to you.
And now, come take me, my very soul is yours,
As you desire me, I come to you.
<@#Frank_Sinatra_At_Long_Last_Love.txt#@>
Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?
Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long last love?
Is it an earthquake, or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup, or is it merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?
Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?
Is it a fancy, not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long long long last love?
<@#Frank_Sinatra_Autumn_In_New_York.txt#@>
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so exciting (inviting)
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-knighting
Shimmering clouds - glimmering crowds (glittering crowds and shimmering
clouds)
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel - I'm home
It's autumn in New York
That brings a (the) promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
(They) All sigh for exotic lands
(But) It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
(But) It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
(- in New York)
<@#Frank_Sinatra_Bein_Green.txt#@>
It's not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standin' out like flashy sparkles on the water
Or stars in the sky
But green is the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be

Could'ya, for an ice cream sundae? Could'ya, for a smile or two?
Would'ya, say along about next Monday, keep a guy from feeling blue?
Could'ya, for big red apple? Could'ya, for a tootsie roll?
Would'ya, for some Philadelphia truffle, brighten up some lonely soul?
I don't wanna have the stars in the pocket, or ride a rocket to the moon.
I just want what I want when I see what I want, and I hope I get it soon.
Could'ya, for a peaceful valley? Could'ya, for the Zuyder Zee?
Would'ya for a honeymoon in Bali? Could'ya fall in love with me?
Baby, could'ya, would'ya take a chance on romance,
Couldya, for a ripe tomato? Could'ya, for a place that's in?
Would'ya, for a bowl of sweet potato? Could'ya, for a leopard skin?
Could'ya, for a bright red tulip? Could'ya, for a ferris wheel?
Would'ya for Kentucky plate of juleps? Could'ya, for a home cooked meal?

<@#Frank_Sinatra_Days_Of_Wine_And_Roses.txt#@>
The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through the meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before
The lone-ly night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you
The days of wine and roses
[more instrumental-rest of the first verse]
The lonely - the night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you

April skies are in your eyes, but darling, don't be blue
Don't cry, oh honey please don't be that way.
Clouds in the sky should never make you feel that way
The rain will bring the violets of may
Tears are in vain, so honey please don't be that way
As long as we see it through, you'll have me, i'll have you
Sweetheart, tomorrow is another day
Don't break my heart, oh honey, please don't be that way
Don't cry, oh honey please don't be that way
Clouds in the sky should never make you feel that way
The rain will bring the violets of may
Tears in vain, so honey please don't be that way
As long as we will see it through

Don't break my heart, nh honey, please don't be that way,

<@#Frank_Sinatra_Dont_Fence_Me_In.txt#@>
Oh give me land, lots of land, and the starry skies above, don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love, don't fence me in.
Oh let me be by myself in the evening breeze,
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please, don't fence me in.
Just turn me loose and I'll straddle on my saddle underneath the western
skies.
On my cayuse let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise.
Oh let me ride to the ridge where the west commences,
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses,
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences, don't fence me in.

Dressed in dreams for me
You were what I wished to see

Love was very new
Make believe was coming true
Elizabeth, Elizabeth
You were all much too much
Out of reach and out of touch
When you came to me
I found it could never be
Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth
So a dream has to end
When it's real
Not pretend
Dressed in memories
You are what you used to be

Every man should marry, every girl should wed,
You will find no truer words ever have been said.
Every man is sentimental, he's just a dreamer at heart,
He needs someone soft and gentle to give his dream a start.

Something has come over me, since you came my way.
Yes, I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,
Every man should marry, won't you marry me?
Don't know how to tell you, I don't know what to say,

The gang keeps on askin' why you're not around
And I keep pretendin' that you're just out of town
Every night about this time
Memories haunt me
Wondering, too, who's dancing with you
Every night about this time
And whenever they croon our favorite tune
A tear falls with every rhyme
Oh, how I miss you

Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
(That) my sometime is now
Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
(That) my someplace is here
If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charm
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I've found in your arms
Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you

Not to give in to (in to) this feeling I'm on to, (I'm on to)

No more movies for a week or two
No more running 'round with the usual crew
Ah, who cares?

Well, my baby's number one but I gotta dance with three or four
The place is really shaking form the bare feet slapping on the floor
When you hear the music you can't sit still
Your brother won't rock but your sister will
Whoo

My place is really rocking, so we gotta put a guard outside
If my folks come home, I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide

Her manner indiscreet...i knew she was
Easy, easy, easy meat

Make me sweat and moan

Wrapped like a mummy 'till you finally unwind her
Find her blinder, see who designed her
Act like a dummy 'till you finally grind her
If you should see a girl on the street
Now maybe you might think she is sweet
But if you wanna tickle her treat
Now really, what should you do?
(Rat-tat-tat-tat ta-da!)
Don't never let her know you are smart
The universe is no place to start
You gotta play it straight from the heart
She gwine renunciate you
(That's why you gotta)
Find her finer, sneak up behind her
Wrapped like a mummy 'till you finally unwind her
Find her blinder, see who designed her
Act like a dummy 'till you finally grind her
Now maybe you might think this is crude
And maybe you might think I am rude
And maybe this approach I have spewed
Is not the one for you
(Rat-tat-tat-tat ta-da!)
But believe me later on you'll find
As you impress her with your mind
That you would just be left behind
For a wiser fool
(So you might as well)
Find her finer, sneak up behind her
Wrapped like a mummy 'till you finally unwind her
Find her blinder, see who designed her
Act like a dummy 'till you finally grind her

Oh no-there's got to be a better way
Say it again
There's got to be a better way-yeah
What is it good for?
War has caused unrest
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Yeah
War-I despise
'Cause it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers how
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives
I said
War-huh
It's an enemy of all mankind
No point of war
'Cause you're a man
War has caused unrest
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
Give it to me one time-now
Give it to me one time-now
War has shattered
Many young men's dreams
We've got no place for it today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord, there's just got to be a better way
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War
War
War-good God, now
Now
Give it to me one time now
Now now
What is it good for?

I left her by the river sainte marie
We pledged our love from to eternity
Now along the pebbled pathway to her door
We kissed and then we kissed again and parted on the shore
The angels wings reached out upon the sea
I saw her kneel and say a prayer for me
When winters gone and spring is on
I will meet her by the river sainte marie hay
musical interlude
Hay I left her by the river sainte marie
We pledged our love from to eternity
Now along the pebbled pathway to her door

I know that I can't keep her
Now she's in love with you (ah ah ah)
But I just wanna say
I won't be far away
So don't make my baby blue
I know your reputation
They say you can't be true (ah ah ah)
But I'll be standing by
So you just better try
And don't make my baby blue
Ooh that little girl's an angel
And it hurts to
Set her free
So you better take
Good care of her
'Cause she still means
The world to me
I'm gonna step aside now
Just like she wants me to (ah ah ah)
But even though I'm gone
I'll still be looking on
So don't make my baby blue
But even though I'm gone
I'll still be looking on
So don't make my baby blue
No don't make my baby blue

I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone that goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
I believe
I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer
Will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky
Then I know why I believe

We're making memories each time we kiss
Making wonderful memories when we are holding each other like this
Green grass for a pillow, a black velvet sky above
Tender magic moments in a wonderland of love
The years may come and go but we'll recall
Sharing love in our hideaway and how this night was the start of it all
Darling, I'll remember my whole life through
Making memories with you
(We're making memories each time we kiss)

It was Montmartre
It was midnight Come to think of it
It was spring
There was music I was listening
Then in the room somewhere someone began to sing
This serenade made for remembering
A small cafe, Mam'selle
Our rendezvous, Mam'selle
The violins were warm and sweet
And so were you, Mam'selle
And as the night danced by
A kiss became a sigh
Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle
Just like wine does
No heart ever yearned the way mine does for you
And yet I know too well
Some day you'll say goodbye
Then violins will cry
And so will I, Mam'selle
A small cafe, Mam'selle
Our rendezvous, Mam'selle
The violins were warm and sweet
And so were you, Mam'selle
And as the night danced by
A kiss became a sigh
Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle
Just like wine does
No heart ever yearned the way mine does for you
And yet I know too well
Some day you'll say goodbye
Then violins will cry
And so will I, Mam'selle

You can gamble for match sticks, you can gamble for gold
The stakes may be heavy or small
But if you haven't gambled for love and lost, you haven't gambled at all
They call me a moonlight gambler
I've gambled for love and lost
When I gamble for love and it isn't in the cards
Oh, what heartaches it can cost me
Win or lose, I'm a moonlight gambler
And a winner is what I long to be
So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live
Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me
You can gamble for match sticks
You can gamble for gold
The stakes may be heavy or small
But if you haven't gambled for love and lost
Then you haven't gambled at all
No, if you haven't gambled for love in the moonlight
Then you haven't gambled at all
So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live
Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me
They call me the moonlight gambler
They call me the moonlight gambler

Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them dogies movin', rawhide.
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope 'em, throw, and brand 'em.
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide.
My heart's calculatin',
My true love will be waitin',
Be waitin' at the end of my ride.
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em on,
Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide!
Head 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in, rawhide!
The ending lyrics are:
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin',
Though the streams are swollen,
Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide.
Through rain and wind and weather,
Hell bent for leather,
Wishin' my gal was by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my ride.
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em on,
Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide!
Head 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,

Any day now I will hear you say, ?Goodbye, my love?
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now, I'll be all alone
Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new
Oh, to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town
Any day now, love will let me down
(Any day now)
'Cause you won't be around
I know I shouldn't want to keep you if you don't want to stay
Until you go forever, I'll keep holdin' on for dear life
Holdin' you this way
Begging you to stay
Any day now, when the clock strikes, go
You'll call it off and then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town
Any day now, love won't let me down

Some day the sun will shine on me.
Money, I don't have any:

I'll be a big man in town, just you wait and see:
You'll be proud of me.
They think that I'm a rover,
But my roving days are over.
Someday your folks will welcome me.
I went away a small man,
But I'll come home a tall man.
Then what a pretty bride you'll be.
I'll be a big man in town (honest, honey)
I'll be a big man in town (promise, darling)
I'll be a big man in town, just you wait and see:

Oh, what a night.
Late December back in '63.
What a very special time for me,
'Cause I remember what a night.
Oh, what a night.
You know, I didn't even know her name,
But I was never gonna be the same.
What a lady. What a night.
Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I,
As I recall it ended much too soon.
Oh, what a night,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me.
She was everything I dreamed she'd be.
Sweet surrender, what a night!
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under.
Oh, what a night!
Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I,
As I recall it ended much too soon.
Oh, what a night.
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right.
What a lady, what a night!
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under.
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!

You're only holding out your heart in sympathy
If there's another man, then girl I understand
Go on and take his hand and don't you worry bout me
I'll be blue and I'll be crying too
But girl you know I only want what's best for you
What good is all my pride if our true love has died
Go on and be his bride and don't you worry bout me
I'll be strong I'll try to carry on
Although you know it won't be easy when you're gone
I'll always think of you, the tender love we knew
But somehow I'll get through so don't you worry bout me
Oooh, baby
Sweetie pie before you say goodbye
Remember if he ever leaves you high and dry
Don't cry alone in pain, don't ever feel ashamed
If you want me again just don't you worry bout me
I love you no matter what you do
I'll spend my whole life waiting if you want me to
And if this is good-bye you know I'd rather die
Than let you see me cry cause then you'd worry bout me
Repeat 2X

And all the stars are gleamin'
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamin'
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon

And watch her as she grows in my garden

Sa bawat yugto ng buhay, may wasto at may mali
Sa bawat nilalang ay may bulag, may pipi at may bingi
Madilim ang 'yong paligid, hating-gabing walang hanggan
Anyo at kulay ng mundo sa 'yo'y pinagkaitan
H'wag mabahala, kaibigan, isinilang ka mang ganyan
Isang bulag sa kamunduhan, ligtas ka sa kasalanan
[Chorus]
'Di nalalayo sa 'yo ang tunay na mundo
Marami sa ami'y nabubuhay nang tulad mo
'Di makita, 'di madinig, minsa'y nauutal
Patungo sa hinahangad na buhay na banal
Ibigin mo mang umawit, hindi mo makuhang gawin
Sigaw ng puso't damdamin wala sa 'yong pumapansin
Sampung daliri, kaibigan, d'yan ka nila pakikinggan
Pipi ka man nang isinilang, dakila ka sa sinuman
[Chorus]
'Di nalalayo sa 'yo ang tunay na mundo
Marami sa ami'y nabubuhay nang tulad mo
'Di makita, 'di madinig, minsa'y nauutal

Ano sa 'yo ang musika, sa 'yo ba'y mahalaga
Matahimik mong paligid, awitan ay 'di madinig
Mapalad ka, o kaibigan, napakaingay ng mundo
Sa isang binging katulad mo, walang daing, walang gulo

You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do
So before I let you go
I want to say it...I love you
I wish that It could be just like before
I know I coul've given you so much more
Even though you know
I'd given you all my love
I miss your smile, I miss your kiss
Each and every day I reminisce
'Coz baby it's you
That i'm always dreaming of...
Because you've gone and left me standing
All alone
And I know I've got to face tomorrow
On my own
Before I let you go
I want to say I love you
I hope that you're list'nin'
'Cause it's true, baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do
So before I let you go
I want to say it...I love you
Letting love go
Is never easy
But I love you so
That's why I set you free
I know someday
Somehow, I'll find a way
To leave it all behind me
'Guess it wasn't meant to be
But baby...
Before I let you go
I want to say I love you
I hope that you're list'nin'
'Cause it's true, baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do
So before I let you go
I want to say it...I love you

Jealous
nina
Jealous of the girl who caught your eye
one of my darker days
when you look at her where was I
should have been in her place
here I am all alone imagining
what might have been, could have been
if had been there
Jealous of the one
Whose arms are around you
if she's keeping you satisfied
jealous of the one who finally found you
made your sun and your stars collide
la la la la la
she's a very, very lucky girl
Jealous of the girl
who won your heart
they say it's a perfect match
She's gonna get to be where you are
and it don'y get better than that
she'll say you're fine
whisper words I wish were mine
and they might have been
could have been
if had been there
And you know I'd fight the good fight
if I thought I'd changed your mind
but if she makes you happy
then i'll leave the dream behind
man, she better treat you right
and give you everything
cause the moment that she doesn't
I'll be waiting in the wings

I everyone has A friend of their own
Someone that we can look up to
Mine is like no one I'Ve ever known
He'S not like me, he'S not like you
Ii while you and I climb the ladder high
He looks into the horizon
He asks me " boy, what are you tryin' to find? "
Then I realize my journey'S just begun...
Chorus I
Everybody, say "Hello" to this friend of mine
He'S standing here, right inside of me
And everybody, he'S the one who'S always on my mind
He'S somebody you don'T see...
Iii knowing what'S good, and what is right from wrong
He always seeks to find it
The choice between coin and candy for the soul
He needs nobody to remind him
Iv he always packs his bag with honesty
Specially to show to himself
A tank-Full of courage and humility
So he won'T get lost, tryin' to be somebody else
Chorus ii
Everybody, say " hello" to this friend of mine
He'S standing here, right inside of me
And everybody, he'S the one who'S always on my mind
He'S somebody you don'T see...
His name is mr. What- I - wanna - be
His name is mr. What- I - wanna - be
Bridge
And the race goes on, and on, and on
The race for truth in A world of lies
Life is not just what we have known
In A world full of blindness,
Now I wanna see with both my eyes
Repeat chorus ii
Coda
I am learning
I am learning from someone
Never stop learning
Until he and I are one

I try to slip back to my usual ways
But its not the same
I'M not the same
Refrain I
Don'T you know that love is the voice
That whispers each time I try to hide it
I'Ve lost all control, I'M helpless inside
And you'Ll see it in my eyes, you know
Chorus
You'Ve taken over me,
My baby now you'Ve taken over my heart
You'Ve taken over me,
My baby now you'Ve taken over my heart
From the start...
I'Ve never felt this way for anyone
My security has come undone
And I feel alive... I feel alive
To A place I'Ve never been before
When you came, you opened up the door
And it feels so right, it feels so right...
Refrain ii
I did'Nt know that love would be here
But now that you'Ve come, I just can'T fight it
And now it'S so clear, with this feeling inside
There'S no need to ask why... because

Whatever you want is my command, now that'S how I feel
It'S like whatever you wish for, I will grant
And the feeling is oh so real...

[Brendon]
It's getting late, and I
Cannot seem to find my way home tonight
Feels like I am falling down a rabbit hole
Falling for forever, wonderfully wandering alone
What would my head be like
If not for my shoulders
Or without your smile
May it follow you forever
May it never leave you
To sleep in the stone,
May we stay lost on our way home
[Brendon]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Nate]
If I should die tonight
May I first just say I'm sorry
For I, never felt like anybody
I am a man of many hats although I
Never mastered anything
When I am ten feet tall
I've never felt much smaller, since the fall
Nobody seems to know my name
So don't leave me to sleep all alone
May we stay lost on our way home?
[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon]
Try not to mistake what you have with what you hate
[Brendon and Nate]
It could leave, it could leave, come the morning
[Nate]
Celebrate the night
It's the fall before the climb
[Brendon and Nate]
Shall we sing, shall we sing, 'til the morning
[Brendon]
If I fall forward, you fall flat
[Brendon and Nate]
And if the sun should lift me up
Would you come back? C'mon!
[Music interlude]
[Brendon]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon and Nate]
So c'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities
[Brendon screams] yeah yeah yeah!

It's getting late and I, cannot seem to find my way home tonight.
<@#Fun._Some_Nights.txt#@>
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure, what I stand for oh oh oh
What do I stand for? Oh what do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
This is it, boys, this is war, what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype,
Save that for the black and white I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style
That's alright, I found a martyr in my bed tonight
Stops my bones from wondering just who I, who I, who I am, oh who am I, mm, mm
Well some nights, I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? Oh what do I stand for? Most nights, I don't know (come
on)
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on
Oh, come on, oh, come on, oh come on!
Well that is it, guys, that is all, five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This is not one for the folks at home, I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes,
Man you wouldn't believe, the most amazing things, that can come from,
Some terrible nights, ah (oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh)
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh
<@#GMB_Lost.txt#@>
Waking up in the stillness I can
Hear You calling, feel You cover me
Breaking down my soul
I've already been there, I've already been there
Falling down on my knees, I cry out
Won't You find me? Won't You cover me?
Tearing up my soul
I've already been there, I've already been there
I've lost my self
I'm falling inside You, I'm falling into
I need Your grace
I'm crashing before You, I'm falling into... You
Stepping down from my throne of pride down
Desperate for You, desperate for Your touch
Drying up my soul
I've already been there, I've already been there

It don't matter to the sun
If you go or if you stay
I know the sun is gonna rise
Shine down on another day
There will still be a tomorrow
Even if you choose to leave
'Cause it don't matter to the sun (oh baby)
It matters to me
It ain't gonna stop the world
If you walk out that door
This old world will just keep on turning 'round (Turning 'round)
Like it did the day before
'Cause see to them it makes no difference (ohh)
It just keeps on keepin' time
'Cause it ain't gonna stop the world (Oh baby)
But it'll be the end of mine
What can I say
What can I do
I'm still in love
So without you...
(GuitarPiano solo)
Mmm mmm mmm, oh yeah, oh yeah
What can I say
What can I do
I'm still in love
So without you
It don't matter the moon
If your not in my life
No the moon will just keep hangin' 'round (hangin' 'round)
Like it's just another night
Find another place to shine on down
On some other lovers dreams
'Cause it don't matter the moon (oh baby)
But is sure do matter to me
No it don't matter to the moon (oh baby)
But it matters to me

City sidewalks,
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a
Feeling like Christmas
Children laughing,
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every
Street corner you hear
Silver bells,
Silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling,
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the
Bustle you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
<@#Garth_Brooks_The_Red_Strokes.txt#@>
Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
Two shadows starting to softly combine
The picture they're painting
Is one of the heart
And to those who have seen it
It's a true work of art
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision
That they can't command
Erasing the borders
With each brush of a hand
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn
Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green
But when love picks its shade it demands to be seen
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
<@#Garth_Brooks_The_River.txt#@>
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores
And I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
It has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance that tide
And I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll tke soome falls
With the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all
And I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Lord, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Yeah

I was feelin' the blues
I was watching the news
When this fella came on the TV
He said I'm tellin' you
That science has proven
That heartaches are healed by the sea
That got me goin'
Without even knowin'
I packed right up and drove down
Now I'm on a roll
And I swear to my soul
Tonight I'm gonna paint this town
So bring me two pina coladas
I want one for each hand
Let's set sail with Captin Morgan
And never leave dry land
Any troubles I forgot 'em
I buried 'em in the sand
So bring me two pina coladas
She said good-bye to her good timin' man
Oh now I've gotta say
That the wind and the waves
And the moon winkin' down at me
Eases my mind
By leavin' behind
The heartaches that love often brings
Now I've got a smile
That goes on for miles
With no inclination to roam
I've gotta say
That I think I've gotta stay
'Cause this is feelin' more and more like home
So bring me two pina coladas
Gotta have one for each hand
Let's set sail with Captin Morgan
Oh and never leave dry land
Any troubles I forgot 'em
I buried 'em in the sand
So bring me two pina coladas
She said good-bye to her good timin' man
Bring me bring me two pina coladas
I want one for each hand
Let's set sail with Captin Morgan
Oh and never leave dry land
Any troubles I forgot 'em
I buried 'em in the sand
So bring me two pina coladas
And say hello to her good timin' man

This is a song that nobody knows
I couldn't begin to describe how it goes
But it makes me cry or laugh right out loud
It's a song that I sing when there's no one around
This is the man that nobody sees
He wears my old clothes and he looks just like me
Just one of the boys who gets lost in the crowd
He's the man that I am when there's no one around
It's four in the morning
I'm lyin' in bed
A tape of my failures
Playin' inside my head
It's heartaches and hard knocks
And things I don't know
I listen and I wonder
Where will it go
This is a glimpse of the child that's within
He's so immature but he's still my best friend
If he could learn how to fly he'd never touch down
He's the kid that I am when there's no one around
This is the dance I do every day
I let my feet go and get carried away
I let my soul lead and follow the sound
It's the dance that I do when there's no one around
It's four in the morning
I'm lyin' in bed
A tape of my failures
Playin' inside my head
It's heartaches and hard knocks
And things I don't know
I listen and I wonder
Where will it go
Thi is a song that nobody knows
I still can't begin to describe how it goes
But it makes me cry our laugh right out loud
It's a song that I sing when there's no one around
It's a song that I sing when there's no one around

Don't worry, I won't hurt you

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple,
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction,
You know I didn't even care
'cause they say two thousand zero zero party over,
Oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go 2 fast
But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant 2 last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen 2 my body tonight
Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over,
Oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

Don't bother knockin' on my door

And baby he's ready 2 roar
Yeah, everybody's got a bomb,
We could all die any day
But before I'll let that happen,
I'll dance my life away
Oh, they say two thousand zero zero party over,

Nothing here for me now
I can't believe the noise
We'll take this place apart

But now the weakness comes
I'll question everything
I'll trade new dreams for old

Something isn't right
I get the feeling I'm not driving
Something hasn't quite
Taken over but it's trying
Check it, check it
The question now is time
The hours pass so slowly
I know we're moving out of line
But that's the risk you're taking with me
I flicker like an old film - Black white
I'm losing track of what's real - I know
My sense of timing's not quite - OK
Maybe I'll stay tonight - So so
Fadeout, as in lose
My character is shrapnel
Broken by the views
Of men who claim to know all
(There is to know)
Something isn't right
I get the feeling I am no-one
Something hasn't quite
Stopped me from being someone
Nothing in the mirror - Check it
No photo by my bedside - Check it
My self control is missing - Check it
I'll leave with your permission - Check it

And how things are with you
You're hung up on time
You're hung up on age
Now there's me
Now there's me
What is it like to
Crash? The driver
You drink to rumors and talk
About someone new in your bed
There is no game to win so
Get out as fast as you can
Hung up on 'the time'
Hung up on 'my age'
You don't know

You could say I'm pretentious
You could say I'm the nazz
You could hail me as the new king of it all
You could say I'm nothing new
You could speak well of me
You could say it's already been done before
What will you make of my lines
What will you think I've said
What hidden secrets will you say are in my head
I feel you waiting for me
Waiting to dig my grave
I'm growing scared of everything you could say
Look in my eyes
There's no surprise at all
Critical mind
What will you find to say
Old faces in my wardrobe
So many I've not seen
Memories to look back on people I've been
Dead love on faded carpets
Nostalgia grows with time
I see your face in mirrors shadowing mine
I see your dirty finger
Marks are still on my wall
I can recall the time we tried it that way
In dingy hotel backrooms
Where paint cracks like your face
I must admit I have acquired the taste (?)
Stab my arm
With your synthetic feelings
You amaze me
I crave for you
You could say I'm pretentious
You could say I'm the nazz
You could hail me as the new king of it all

Do you know what the reunion pays for you?
Do you feel like I'm supposed to do?
I could be love
I could be your assassin. I don't know

They gave boys to quite tasteless friends of mine
Re-arrange thoughts to 'what will be will be'
There is no god so pray to me

I know that you already take as read
I helped you
You know the back of my hand
I wish that we were enchanted
Girl, now I take it for granted
Your love was starin me right in the heart
Why does our pride make us weak?
While I was wonderin where to start
You were there to show me
All I had to learn
You were way off the mark
Most of it in the dark
Found you now
Tiny light, give the peace
With which we reach indecision
I guess we lived in the meantime
Till we remembered our first lines
We must have missed a turn
Still got a lot to learn
Found you now
So now we live a life of give and take
Day by day
We don't control where it leads us
If we compare the first day we met
I must admit nothings changed
I recognize only one regret
Life embarassments unexpressed
Found you now
Found you now
<@#Gary_Numan_Hunger.txt#@>
Tell you a story
'Bout a friend of mine
Woke up in this room
Looked like... black and white movies
No light
And someone strange in the bed
She said
"You could be here forever"
"Can you feel me?
I'm the new disease
I'm like a hunger
That you've never known"
"Do you want me?
I'll take everything
I'm like a hunger
Lying in your heart"
He made excuses
Tried to leave the room
She said
"I'm the disease and the cure
Skin mechanics
Couldn't help you here
The nature of need
Leaves you junk sick and lonely"
"Trick it up
Trick it up good"
She moved
Like a ghost to the door
She said
"This is a re-al love story"
I heard his voice
And walked in on it all
She said
"You could be here forever"
<@#Gary_Numan_London_Times.txt#@>
London times
Hear they were the golden times
Captured all the hearts and minds
Oh how the memory shines
Like diamonds
Keep shining, like diamonds
London times
Say they were the best of times
Dancing till the big bell chimes
Oh how the memory shines
Like diamonds
Keep shining, keep shining
Shine away
Those were the days of (power?)
Sing yeah for the Beatle and the Stone
These were the days
Yeah yeah yeah
-repeat chorus-
<@#Gary_Numan_Love_Is_Like_Clock_Law.txt#@>
This heart is empty
I've barely hidden memories
I've found a picture that haunts me again
I've no sad expression
I've no tears in my eyes
But I am the clown who forgot how to laugh
I wonder, does she think of me?
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder, does she call my name?
I cried
Don't leave me here alone
I cried
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Love is like clock law
Tick tock my heartbeat
I was a passion that passed her spare time
This room is prison
Love doesn't come here
These quiet nights will slowly kill me
I wonder, does she think of me?
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder, does she call my name
I cried
Don't leave me here alone
I cried
Don't leave me here alone
I cried
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I cried
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
I'm quite alone
<@#Gary_Numan_Love_Isolation.txt#@>
These are words
Just for you
Only words
But it's all I can do
Reasons fade
As reasons can do
All I want
Is to talk with you
You cried with me
Laughed at me
Talked to me
Sheltered me
Fought by me
Lied for me
You lived for me
So call me
And I'll run to you
Ask me
And I'd die for you
You were there
You were always there
Like a friend
Like a lifelong friend
And I love you
I broke your heart
And you stole mine
Memories lie
But they're all I can find
Call my name
Sing my song
Call for me
I've been waiting so long
Just call me
And I'll run to you
Ask me
And I'd die for you
You were there
You were always there
Like a friend
Like a lifelong friend
And I miss you
<@#Gary_Numan_Moral.txt#@>
These new romantics are oh so boring
I could swear I've been there once or twice before
I should grow wings and just forget the club
You know the legends never wanted to be me
For too erratic to be OK so?
If you're concerned well I don't care
You play games, you play safe
Me I just sighed with relief
Matthew's mother. The change disturbs me
You've everybody's friend. Age, I suppose
Just like religion you're going nowhere
Like your so explicit clothes onto the floor
On those occasions when everything broke down
Including you and me
See the boy, see the girl
The exhibition is now over
<@#Gary_Numan_My_Centurion.txt#@>
Somewhere in
Dark corners
I know
Something is wrong.
No fear
No talking
Just this long wait for pain
Scream scream
We're going down
My centurion dies
All I can do now is wait for the noise
I'm so helpless and
I could just cry inside
'No! No!'
Oh God
Look at the speed
We're going in
So this
Is death and
It's so
Calm I'm surprised
All I can do now is wait for noise
This machine
No sign of life
Only the whisper of air
She won't turn
She won't climb
She won't stop
She won't fly
I'm falling
I'm silent
I'm thinking
I'm waiting for this thing to end.
All I can do now is wait for the noise.
<@#Gary_Numan_Night_Talk.txt#@>
Boys watch from windows tonight
I'm not surpriesed to see you waiting here
You keep them in business just supplying you
Get in the car I've something to say
Stay in bed why waste my time
Open your eyes but only if you can
Office in a sidestreet is no place for you
Night talk and romance like beat the clock.
Boys like me aren't supposed to cry
But it's so easy to do
Boys like me aren't supposed to cry
But just look at you
Night talk.
Take things slow you can crack
Like your face I don't understand
How you smile and pretend it's fun
Do you laugh when the rats come round to play?
Boys like me aren't supposed to cry
But it's so easy to do
Boys like me aren't supposed to cry
But just look at you
Night talk.
<@#Gary_Numan_Pressure.txt#@>
Here is my
Small black box
Filled with hurt
Sent by you
Here is my
Small black book
Filled with lies
Told by you
Here is my
Small black house
Filled with fear
Thanks to you
Here is my
Small black heart
Filled with shame
Left by you
See I
See I Don't know
And I don't feel the pressure
And I don't feel the pressure
Here is my
Small black doubt
Filled by tears
Cried for you
here is my
Small black wish
Filled by dreams
Lost by you
See I
See I Don't know
And I don't feel the pressure
And I don't feel the pressure
<@#Gary_Numan_Sister_Surprise.txt#@>
We are
Walking nostalgia
Like old movies for real
Look at me, look at you
Look at them, look at us
I'm young
Sell a slim body to the man next door
Sell a slim body to the man next door
Like my sister surprise
We'll wait for you
We are
The pleasure creation
Gone wrong. gone wrong.
We are
Walking ghost stories
No religion
No relief
No old wisdom
No belief
Sometimes I could scream
We'll wait for you
<@#Gary_Numan_Slowcar_To_China.txt#@>
She'll take a slowcar to China
She'll pay the rent for the use of you
She'll take a slowcar to China
She'll pay the rent for the use of you tonight.
We are not afraid to love, but no new ideas
You almost get used to such things you know.
The mechanics on the phone again, we break down.
The others you'd remember if I could spare some time.
In love with this elegant bitch
And here am I just a shy young fool
In love with this elegant bitch
She only sparkles at times for you tonight.
She forgets that we know,
She forgets who we are
I suppose the things I overheard were quite by chance
The only story I ever knew or cared for
Best left unheard I suppose, don't you?
You look for somewhere to start to look
We'll take a slowcar to China
Everything that you need is here
We'll take a slowcar to China
Everything that you need is here tonight.
I forgot not to call,
And now we're out of love.
She'll take a slowcar to China
A little green worm inside my head
She'll take a slowcar to China
A little green worm inside my head tonight.
There's nothing much to keep us alive, but 'Dance'.
All that she can say is goodbye. All things change I suppose
We'll sing without voice, without heart and leave no address
I well never ever see you again. I know.
Don't take a slowcar to China
She needed nothing and no one so
Don't take a slowcar to China
She needed nothing and no one here tonight.
You will pay like before.
Always one step behind.
You will pay Mr Jones.
Always one step away.
There's no one here to leave you behind but me.
<@#Gary_Numan_Strange_Charm.txt#@>
I don't know
I don't know
The dream was everything
I don't know
I don't know
If it's all falling down.
I lose connection as they let me down
What you gonna think?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna say?
Are you gonna scream 'Oh no'?
What you gonna think?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna say?
I just don't like this thing, at all.
(Strange charm)
Let the boys out
Let the boys out
And let the fun begin
Let the boys out
Let the boys out
And let the night come in.
We don't like it
We don't like it
We're from the factory and we've come to play.
Let the boys out.
You push too hard
You push too hard
Come closer and talk to me
You push too hard
You push too hard
D'you get the picture now?
You won't like it
You won't like it
We get impatient as the time runs out.
Let the boys out.
<@#Gary_Numan_Telekon.txt#@>
Where is my outline I start to fade
No concentration means 'fail' these days
I leave the table saying 'i am real'
I feel the pressure like your eyes on me
Don't mention that name and books on love
I can't be sure, I can't be sure
You end on reel one
You end on reel one
You quote from 'anxious' and things we do
I need protection from the likes of you
Do you begin to see that I don't know
I live on memories that are hard to find
Send me a card and write 'i think of you'
I'll say you lied, I'll say you're lying
You are, you are
Tell me a secret I'm sure to fall
My dog runs a.w.o.l. I blame you all
We're in formation saying 'safe, safe, safe'
Turn up my collar and mix with dark
The speaker turns on me spot her eyes
It's hard to breathe, it's hard to breathe
You end on reel one
You end on reel one
You are, you are
<@#Gary_Numan_The_Life_Machine.txt#@>
Me I've just died
But some machine keeps on humming
I'm just an extra piece of dead meat to keep running
Why won't you let me die in peace?
Why won't you let me die with some kind of honor?
Why won't you let me die at all?
I know
You've got your principles
My body lies immobile
I left it days ago
And me I watch from somewhere as the loved ones come and go
I see them glancing at the switch
I hear them whispering maybe it's better that way
I see the love turn into feelings
I know
Aren't quite the same
I see the men of learning
Pacing to and fro
But how can I expect the sane to ever know?
I'd rather die than have no mind
I know my brain is gone damaged beyond repair
I see an empty shell below me
I know
I've had my time
<@#Gary_Numan_The_Machman.txt#@>
I saw him turn on
Like a machine in the park
Saying 'please come with me'
But you've been there before
I saw him whirr away
Into the night
Like a nightmare on wheels
Saying 'never again'
I'd give it all up for you
I'd even be a number just for you
The strangest living boy
You could ever wish to see
'that's me'
Yellowed newspapers
Tell the story of someone
'do you know this man? '
Tomorrow the cure
Only police ever
See night time for real
Turn on the light
And cry 'no more, no more'
I was standing outside your door
Waiting for the grey men to go
When my mind turned on me
With a vengeance I had never known
My own
Everyone heard
The voice on the radio
Saying 'why move around
And waste my time'
There are no
Independents anymore
The tape is a circle
But who really cares
I saw you behind the wall
I even heard you laugh at me
You disgust me tonight
With your answer to something new
That's you
<@#Gary_Numan_Turn_Off_The_World.txt#@>
Got to pull it up
Got to pull it out
Got to survive
Got to stay calm
Got to think fast
Don't want to burn
Searching for a door
Searching for a way
Out of this thing
I don't know what's wrong
Don't know what to do
I'm out of control
Nothing I can do
Nothing seems to work
I'm barely alive
Got to slow it down
Got to do something
Or give in
Watching us fall
Trying everything
Fighting for life
Running out of time
I don't have a choice
I'm riding it in
I'm inside and I'm trying to get out
I'm inside and I'm screaming for some help
And everything's gone wrong
I'm listening to the sound of my own fear
I'm listening to the sound of someone's tears
I'm listening to me
This is the fear
This is nothing like
You could believe
Panic in my heart
Like a cold hand
Pulling at strings
I'll do anything
Even pray to God
Just let me out
Turn off the machine
Turn off all the noise
Turn off the world
I'm inside and I'm trying to get out
I'm inside and I'm screaming for some help
And everything's gone wrong
I'm listening to the sound of my own fear
I'm listening to the sound of someone's tears
I'm listening to me
I'm inside and I'm trying to get out
I'm inside and I'm screaming for some help
And everything's gone wrong
I'm listening to the sound of my own fear
I'm listening to the sound of someone's tears
I'm listening to me
You learn fast when everything breaks down
You learn fast when that's all that you can do
You learn fast or nothing

You walked in
I woke up
I've never seen a pretty girl look so tough baby
You got that look
Color you peach and black
Color me taken aback
Crucial
I think I wantcha
You've got the look
You've got the hook
you sho'nuf do be cookin' in my book
Your face is jammin'
Your body's heck a slammin'
If love is good
Let's get to rammin'
You got the look
You got the look
You got the look
You must a took
A whole hour just to make up your face baby
Closin' time, ugly lights,
Everybody's inspected
But you are a natural beauty unaffected
Did I say an hour?
My face is red
I stand corrected
You walked in
I woke up
I've never seen a pretty girl look so tough baby
You got that look
Yes you do
Color you peach and black
Color me taken aback
Baby

[Verse 1]
Could You be healer
To a heart that's been wounded
In a battle that's never seen
[Verse 2]
Could You be teacher
To a mind of confusion
Tell me what does this all mean
[Verse 3]
Are You deliverer
Of an imprisoned feeling in chains
Can You set my spirit free
And just one more question
Allow me this question
Could You be Messiah to me (2x)
[Verse 4]
Could You be father
To a soul that's been abandoned
By a world too busy to hear
[Verse 5]
Could You be friend
To a helpless survivor
Can You take away my fears
[Verse 6]
I heard them all sharing
This new found conviction in them
Are You all that they make You to be
And just one more question
Allow me this question
Could You be Messiah to me
Please be Messiah to me
Now I've been looking for someone like You
And I'm so tired, I'm tired
I've read every book and I've sang every song
My mind maybe right but my heart feels so wrong
Tell me how much further can my life go along
Which way do the roads lead where do I belong...
Are You forgiver
Of my most unknown secrets
Provider of all that I need
Could You be brother
The one who knows better
Would You now stand in the lead
When all this is over all the thunder and lightning
In the daylight just what will I see
The answers to my questions to all of my questions
Could You be Messiah to me (2x)
Could You be Messiah
Please be Messiah to me...
<@#Gary_Valenciano_Gary_Valenciano_-_Letting_Go.txt#@>
I used to feel the emptiness inside me
I was not supposed to feel that way
I had everything I needed
But nothing ever made me
What I longed to be
The wealth, the name
The lights, the fame
Were everything to me
And then one night
Out of the blue
I heard His name (Jesus)
And so I took that step of faith
And walked into His domain
I believe that's what He wants
Every heart to do
When hard may seem the task
One step is all He asks of you
Letting go to know the truth
Is not so hard to do
It's the heart that's got the will
To open up for Him to fill
And trusting and believing Him
Is all we've got to do
It's just the heart that's got to move
For Him to show His love that's been there
Even when we never cared
Take hold of His hand
Let go and you'll understand
Why be afraid
For God knows what you're feeling
But even He can't do a thing
If He sees the heart's not willing
And so we ask what's going on
We want what's right and still do wrong
When hard may seem the task
One step is all He asks of you
I guess by now you'd realize
You can't be on your own
And all your cares
And all your burdens
Should be cast upon His throne
Letting go, just let go, letting go
Let go and you'll understand
Just let go and you'll understand

Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I...I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I...I will be here
I will be here
When you feel like bein' quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winnin' and losin' and tryin'
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here
Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I...I'll be here
Just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
I...I will be here
I will be here
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here
I will be true
To the promise I have made
To you and to the
One who gave you to me
I...I will be here
And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
'Cause I...
I will be here....
We'll be together, forever
'Cause I will be here
I will be here

I could hold on for a hundred years
When all else is gone
I would still be here
In a memory of things yet unseen
I?d remember all that we?ve never been
And I cannot wait to see
What life has in store for me
[chorus]
In another lifetime
It would be forever
In another world
Where you and I
Could be together
In another set of chances
I?d take the one?s I?d missed
And make you mine
If only for a time
My life would matter
In another life
And I?d stay as strong and I?d stay as true
And you?d have forever now to think it through
Coz I believe what wasn?t meant to be
Wasn?t meant for now and
Someday you?ll see
In a place and time we never know
I?d be standing there waiting for you
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
You would be mine
But until that time is now
I?d be holding on somehow
[Repeat Chorus]
[Coda]
But until that time
I?ll be holding onto forever
Until another life

Matagal kong pangarap makilala siya
Ngunit 'pag lapit niya lumalayo naman sa kanya
Ano ang dapat gawin
Upang malaman niya ang tunay kong damdamin
Mahal na mahal ko siya
Kahit 'di manlang ako kilala ah ah ah ah
Sinabi ko na sa sarili ko
Na 'pag siya'y dumaan ay poporma na ako
Ngunit kapos ang buwelo
Talo pagka-macho ko

Makakapiling ko rin
Pag sinabi ko na ang aking damdamin

Dated a million girls in Sydney

Hinahanap hanap kita Manila

Promise me you'll never let go

There's something about the rain when it pours
It gets me thinkin' of you more and more
There's something about the way you are
That takes this empty feeling oh so far
Now I know can't deny what I am feeling
Can I hold you, can I have you a little longer
Can I know you, through my eyes let me tell you
I'm loving you more and more
There's something about the warmth of your touch
That came for a moment yet told me so much
I wish I didn't have to waste all that time
When I made believe that you are mine
Now I know can't deny that I am falling
Coz I love you, wanna have you by me forever (and ever)
Can I hold you, through my eyes let me tell you
(I'm lovin' you more)
If you knew what I've been going through
Would you feel the same way too
Tell me now what more can I do to get to
Know you and open up your heart
Show me where to start
Coz I'm loving you more and more
More and more...
Now I know can't deny that I am falling
(Coz I love you) You should know
I'm lovin' you so
Wanna have you by me forever (and ever)
Can I hold you, through my eyes let me tell you
I'm lovin' you more and more
(Can I know you) You should know
I'm lovin' you so
Wanna have you by me forever (and ever)

Upang paniwalaan at intindihin mo

Bigyan mo ako ng pagkakataon
Paliwanagan ang iyong isip
Kahit'sandali lang, patutunayan ko lang
Na mahal kita hanggang ngayon
Oh, ang babae, nakakatuwa

Wag mo na sanang isipin ang mga nangyari sa atin noon
Kahit ano pang sabihin mo maibabalik pa natin ang kahapon
Sana naman hanggang dito na lang

Dapat pa bang daanin, sa galit o tampuhan
Dadami pang problemang 'di kailangan
Kailan pa ba o 'di na ba

No-one seems to take up the chase, and with the familiar faces fresh in his
mind he moves into a reconstruction of his old life, above ground - Too much
time was one thing he didn't need, so he used to cut through it with a little
speed. He was better off dead, than slow in the head. His momma and poppa had
taken a ride on his back, so he left very quickly to join The Pack.
I see faces and traces of home back in New York City -
So you think I'm a tough kid? Is that what you heard?
Well I like to see some action and it gets into my blood.
The call me the trail blazer - Rael - electric razor
I'm the pitcher in the chain gang, we don't believe in pain
'Cause we're only as strong, yes we're only as strong,
As the weakest link in the chain.
Only after a spell in Pontiac reformatory was he given any respect in the
gang.
Let me out of Pontiac when I was just seventeen,
I had to get it out of me, if you know what I mean, what I mean.
You say I must be crazy, 'cause I don't care who I hit, who I hit.
But I know it's me that's hitting out and I'm, I'm not full of shit.
I don't care who I hurt, I don't care who I do wrong.
This is your mess I'm stuck in, I really don't belong.
When I take out my bottle, filled up high with gasoline,
You can tell by the night fires where Rael has been, has been.
Now, walking back home after a raid, he was cuddling a sleeping porcupine.
That night he pictured the removal of his hairy heart and to the accompaniment
of very romantic music he watched it being shaved smooth by an anonymous
stainless steel razor.
As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame, but me.
Held my heart, deep in hair,
Time to shave, shave it off, it off.
No time for romantic escape,
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No!
Off we go...
Your sitting in your comfort you don't believe I'm real,
You cannot buy protection from the way that I feel.
Your progressive hypocrites hand out their trash,
But it was mine in the first place, so I'll burn it to ash.
And I've tasted all the strongest meats,
And laid them down in coloured sheets (laid them down in coloured
Sheets).
Who needs illusion of love and affection
When you're out walking the streets with your mainline connection?
Connection.
As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame, but me.
Held my heart, deep in hair.
Time to shave, shave it off, it off.
No time for romantic escape,
When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No!
<@#Genesis_Calling_All_Stations.txt#@>
Calling all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
I've lost all sense of direction
Watching the darkness closing around me
Feeling the cold all through my body
That's why I'm calling all stations
In the hope that someone hears me
A single lonely voice
I feel the sensation disappearing
There's a tingling in my arms
And there's a numbness in my hands
All the broken promises
All my good intentions don't add up to very much
And I realize whatever happened, whatever happened
I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life
All the things I was always gonna do
Why is it now when it's too late
That I've finally realized it's important to me
To think that everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
Calling all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
How different things look when your all on your own
Watching the darkness closing all around me
All around me
And I'm lost with feeling
Of your arms to remind me
Of everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
Don't you know there's never been a moment
When I haven't had the thought
That everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
As I sit here in the darkness
Feeling so alone
And everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
<@#Genesis_Counting_Out_Time.txt#@>
The palpitating cherry-red organ was returned to its rightful place and began
to beat faster as it led our hero, counting out time, through his first
romantic encounter.
I'm counting out time,
Got the whole thing down by numbers.
All those numbers!
Give me guidance!
O Lord I need that now.
The day of judgement's come,
And you can bet that I've been resting,
for this testing,
Digesting every word the experts say.
Erogenous zones I love you.
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
Found a girl I wanted to date,
Thought I'd better get it straight.
Went to buy a book before it's too late.
Don't leave nothing to fate.
I studied every line, every page in the book,
Now, I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look, take a look.
This is Rael!
I'm counting out time, hoping it goes like I planned it,
'cause I understand it. Look! I've found the hotspots, Figs 1-9.
Still counting out time, got my finger on the button,
"Don't say nuttin' just lie there still
And I'll get you turned on just fine."
Erogenous zones I love you.
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
Touch and go with 1-6.
Bit of trouble in zone No. 7.
Gotta remember all of my tricks.
There's heaven ahead in No. 11!
Getting crucial responses, dilation of the pupils.
"Honey get hip! It's time to unzip, to unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip.
Whipee!"
(Take it away Mr. Guitar)
I'm counting out time, reaction none to happy,
Please don't slap me,
I'm a red blooded male and the book said I could not fail.
I'm counting out time, I got unexpected distress from my mistress,
I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away.
Erongenous zones I question you
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
Without you, mankind handkinds through' the blues.
<@#Genesis_Eleventh_Earl_Of_Mar.txt#@>
The sun had been up for a couple of hours,
Covered the ground with a layer of gold.
Spirits were high and the raining had stopped,
The larder was low, But boy that wasn't all.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Couldn't get them very far.
Daddy! Oh Daddy, You Promised.
Out on the road in the direction of Perth,
Backwards and forwards in a circle they went.
Found a city half open and ready to greet,
The conquering heros, with blisters on their feet.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Somehow got them all this far.
Daddy! You Promised, You Promised.
See the Stewart are dressed up
He's got eyes in the back of his head.
Who came in a cockleshell boat
That could only just float,
Couldn't even lift a sword.
Dressed too fine and smelling of wine.
Daddy you've got to go!
Here come the bishop all dressed up
He's gonna bless you if you're ready to pay
One wave of his funny old stick,
There's a band of light across your eyes.
Waited a week still they hadn't appeared,
That glorious timing that everyone feared.
So they're riding along on the crest of a wave,
They're headed for London, And that will be their grave
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Well he couldn't get them down that far
Daddy! I'm waiting, I'm waiting
Time to go to bed now
Never seems too keen
To be a guest now
In a house of dreams
Flying from a hillside
Beckoning the trees
A sailboat's awning
Mimicking the breeze
I'm fighting gravity falling
My Daddy won't let them get me
A voice screams seems to be calling
The face turns features are burning.
Daddy, you've got to go!
See the fifteen going by,
Tell the Lairds and the Lords
They're running backwards today,
And once again you stand alone.
Bury your memories bury your friends,
Leave it alone for a year or two.
Till the stories go hazy and the legends come true,
Then do it again. Some Things never end.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Won't be going very far.
You Promised, You Promised, You Promised.
DADDY!
<@#Genesis_Fading_Lights.txt#@>
Another time it might have been so different
If only we could do it all again
But now it's just another fading memory
Out of focus, though the outline still remains
Far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives remember
Like the story that we wish was never ending
We know sometime we must reach the final page
Still we carry on just pretending
That there'll always be another day to go
Far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives remember
Another chance hello, another goodbye
And so many things we'll never see again
Days of life that seemed so unimportant
Seem to matter and to count much later on
Far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives remember
<@#Genesis_Hold_On_My_Heart.txt#@>
Hold on my heart
Just hold on to that feeling
We both know we've been here before
We both know what can happen
Hold on my heart
'cause I'm looking over you shoulder
Please don't rush in this time
Don't show her how you feel
Hold on my heart
Throw me a lifeline
I'll keep a place for you
Somewhere deep inside
Hold on my heart
Please tell her to be patient
'Cause there has never been a time
That I wanted something more
If I can recall this feeling
And I know there's a chance
Oh I will be there
Yes I will be there
Be there for you
Whenever you want me to
Whenever you call I will be there
Yes I will be there
Hold on my heart
Don't let her see you crying
No matter where I go
She'll always be with me
Hold on my heart
Just hold on to that feeling
We both know we've been here before
We both know what can happen
So hold on my heart

Brother Seems they're letting him out next year
He's behaving himself, I hear
Governor Conway says it will be fine
Just as long as he can tow the line
It's the same old story
But it says here "Mum you're not to worry"
'Cos some you lose and some you lose
At this party, he was on his own
All he did was say he'd take her home
But it seems they didn't go straight there
'cos on the porch, she told him,
"put your hand here"
Yes it's that same old story
They told her mum she's not to worry
Police "If what she says is so,
we'll never let him go!"
Him "Never a word could be heard
Not even the sound of a bird
Singing it over again, telling a different story
Never the same as before
See the summer going out by the door"
Brother And now that you've paid for those lies
Get another disguise
"It's twenty years now since our Kid came free
Oh I remember August '53
But it wasn't quite like they said
With that behind you, you can't plan ahead
Yes it's the same old story
They say you're free, but don't worry
What they said's not so
They'll never let you go!"
Him "Never a word could be heard

<@#Genesis_Many_Too_Many.txt#@>
Many too many have stood where I stand
Many more will stand here too,
I think what I find strange is the way you built me up
Then knocked me down again.
The part was fun but now it's over,
Why can't I just leave the stage?
Maybe that's because you securely locked me up
Then threw away the key.
Oh mama,
Please would you find the key.
Oh pretty mama,
Please won't you let me go free.
I thought I was lucky
I thought that I'd got it made.
How could I be so blind?
You said good-bye on a corner
That I thought led to the straight.
You set me on a firmly laid and simple course
Then removed the road.
Oh mama,
Please help me find my way.
Oh pretty mama,
Please lead me through the next day.
I thought I was lucky
Oh I thought that I'd got it made.
How could I be so blind? Oh no

And papa he said what kind of trouble are you in?
Well papa he said you must go down on your knees
Oh papa he said you must do what it takes to please
Papa he said if youve done everything I've told you to
And I've never had the feeling in the past
And I never felt I needed to impress
I should know
Well papa he said you must walk up the hill
Oh papa he said if you don't someone else will
Papa he said if youve done everything I've told you to
And I've never had the feeling in the past
And I've never felt I needed to impress

Oh papa he said that way no one will ever know
Papa he said if you follow him wherever he may go, don't say no
Oh papa he said you must walk up the hill
Papa he said if you don't no one else will
No one else will
Turn the lights down low
No one will know
Turn the lights down low
The lights down low...
<@#Genesis_Snowbound.txt#@>
Lay your body down upon the midnight snow
Feel the cold of winter in your hair
Here in a world of your own
In a casing that's grown
To the children's delight
That arrived on the night
Here they come to play their magic games
Carving names upon your frozen hand
Here in a world of your own
Like a sleeper whose eyes
Sees the pain with surprise
As it smothers your cries
They'll never, never know
Hey there's a Snowman
Hey, hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep
Smiling faces tear your body to the ground
Covered red that only we can see
Here in a ball that they made
From the snow on the ground
See it rolling away
With wild eyes to the sky
They'll never, never know
Hey there's a Snowman
Hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep
Hey there goes the Snowman
Hey there what a Snowman
Hey there lies a Snowman
Hey there was a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep
Hey there goes the Snowman

Just as I thought it was going alright
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, you'd say night
Tell it's black when I know that it's white
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could leave but I won't go
Though my heart might tell me so
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
So why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Turning me on, turning me off
Making me feel like I want too much
Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
Running around, staying out all night
Taking it all instead of taking one bite
Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
I could leave but I won't go
It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
S'always the same, just a shame, that's all
Truth is I love you
More than I wanted to
There's no point in trying to pretend
There's been no-one who
Makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together til the end
I could leave but I won't go
It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
S'always the same, just a shame, that's all
Just as I thought it was going alright
I find out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
S'always the same, just a shame, that's all
I could say day, you'd say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
That's all
<@#Genesis_The_Dividing_Line.txt#@>
There has always been a dividing line
But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it
And then you wonder why you fall
It cuts through the heart of every city
If you climb to the top of the highest building
You can see where it falls 'cause the streetlights stop
The colors start to change
You hear a voice inside you
Not the words that you wanted to hear
Not the things that you wanted to see hey, hey, hey, hey
In the comfort and safety of your own home
Remember those outside in the cold
And the wind and the rain
And take in your hands a little ray of light
And turn it into a beam that pierces the darkness of the night
There has always been a dividing line
But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it
Sometimes we believe if we close our eyes
The rain might wash it away
That's why we stumble and we fall
Not the words that you wanted to hear
Not the things that you wanted to see hey, hey, hey, hey
When everything that you hold dear to you
Has finally faded away from your life
The last cold ray of sunshine slowly disappears
Round the corner of the building
And leaves you alone
When darkness covers the city and the streets are silent too
What will you turn to

Light up your body with anger.

It is time to destroy all this evil.
Now, when I give the word
Get ready to fight for your freedom
Now
Stand up and fight, for you know we are right
We must strike at the lies
That have spread like disease through our minds.
Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest
And we'll spread out our kindness
To all who our love now deserve.
Some of you are going to die -
Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.
I'll give you the names of those you must kill,
All must die with their children.
Carry their heads to the palace of old,
Hang them high, let the blood flow.
Now, in this ugly world
Break all the chains around us,
Now, the crusade has begun
Give us a land fit for heroes,
Now
Stand up and fight, for you know we are right
We must strike at the lies
That have spread like disease through our minds.
Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest
And we'll spread out our kindness
To all who our love now deserve.
Some of you are going to die -
Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.
We are only wanting freedom
We are only wanting freedom
We are only wanting freedom
We are only wanting freedom ("Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom...")
We are only wanting freedom ("Things are getting out of control here today")
We are only wanting freedom ("OK men - fire over their heads!")
We are only wanting freedom

Over there in India a Hindoo resides smoking his hoakam all day
Opium and bits of rope and fag ends besides, a wise man from the East
Whitechapel way.
He's got a lovely palace on the beach
He's the Hindoo, Howdoo, Hoodoo, Yoodoo man.
He's got twelve bedrooms with eight wives in each,
He's the Hindoo, Howdoo, Hoodoo, Yoodoo man.
He's got one wife who wears a veil, it covers half her face,
From her nose right to her toes you'll see nothing else but space.
She'll dance and waggle her "San Fairy Ann"
For the Hindoo, Howdoo, Hoodoo, Yoodoo man.
He practices his magic in the Eastern bazaar
Slave girls come under his spell
When he puts on the fluence,
They don't know where they are
He does Indian tricks and dirty tricks as well.
Now what he fancies always does him good
He's the Hindoo, Howdoo, Hoodoo, Yoodoo man.
He lives on rice, roast beef and Yorkshire pud
He's the Hindoo, Howdoo, Hoodoo, Yoodoo man.
He wears a dishcloth round his waist,

Baltimore Oriole
Took one look at that mercury, forty below
No life for a lady
To be draggin' her feathers around in the snow
Leaving me blue, off she flew
To the Tangipaho, down in Louisiana
Where a two, timin' Jaybird
Met the divine Miss O
I'd like to ruffle his plumage
That Baltimore Oriole
Messed around with that big guy
Till he singed her wings
Forgivin' is easy, it's a woman like, now and then
Could happen to thing
Send her back home
Home ain't home without her warbling
How she can sing
Make a lonely man happy, Baltimore Oriole
Come down from that bough
Fly to your daddy now.

Finding you're not here
Watching a dream appear
Tumbling through a thousand centuries
You don't know where you'll land
It's so dark in mythology
Treasures of history to be found
Near the legends of time
All the handiworks remain there
Only a dream away
Oh Ry In Eye Ay - Oh Ry In Eye Ay

Greedy feeling wheeling dealing
Losing what you won
See the dream come undone
Stumble you may with the elementary
Lucky you got so far
All you owe is apologies
Measure the mystery and astound
Without taking up time
So the handiworks remain there
Only a dream away

<@#George_Harrison_Faster.txt#@>
Chose a life in circuses
Jumped into the deepest end
Pushing himself to all extremes
Made it, people became his friend
Now they stood and noticed him
Wanted to be a part of it
Pulled out some poor machinery
So he worked 'til the pieces fit
The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
He'd realized their dreams
Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it
But it's true, they say
"He's the master of going faster"
Now he moved into the space
That the special people share
Right on the edge of do or die
Where there is nothing left to spare
Still the crowds came pouring in
Some had hoped to see him fail
Filling their hearts with jealousies
Crazy people with love so frail
The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
He'd realized their dreams
Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it
But it's true, they say
"He's the master of going faster"
No need to wonder why
His wife held back her fears
So few have even tried
To realize their dreams
Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it
But it's true, they say
"He's the master of going faster"
No one knows quite how he does it
But it's true, they say
"He's the master of going faster"

Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, it is true
I love you more than ever, girl, I do
I want you in the morning, girl, I love you
I want you at the moment I feel blue
I'm living every moment, girl, for you
Walk, walk cat, walk, go, Johnny, go
Same old tale of blues
Elmo James got nothing on this, baby
I've loved you from the moment, I saw you
You looked at me that's all you had to do
I feel it now, I hope you feel it too
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, I love you

I love you more than ever, girl, I do, tale of the blues

Been beat up and battered 'round
Been sent up, and I've been shot down
You're the best thing that I've ever found
Handle me with care
Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
Baby, you're adorable
Handle me with care
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream on
I've been fobbed off, and I've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
In day care centers and night schools
Handle me with care
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Hand me with care
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream on
I've been uptight and made a mess
But I'll clean it up myself, I guess
Oh, the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Forget about the past and all your sorrow
The future won't last
It will soon be your tomorrow
I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy
Open up your heart, let's come together
Use a little luck, and we will make it work out better
Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Please remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach, is your freedom to take it

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby,
Can't buy a thrill.
I've been up all night, baby,
Leanin' on the window sill.
If I die
On top of the hill
And if I don't make it,
You know my baby will.
Don't the moon look good, mama,
Shinin' down through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama,
Flagging down the "Double E"?
Don't the sun look good
Goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?
Wintertime is coming,
The windows are filled with frost.
I went to tell everybody,
But I could not get across.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby,
I don't wanna be your boss.
Don't say I never warned you
If your train gets lost.

And if those blues don't leave me
Gonna rock on away from here
If you want me woman please don't act so shy
If you want me woman please don't pass me by
I love those sideways glances
Your shoulder and your thigh
I see inside your eyes, the Baba's Sai
The reasons why I love you
So if you're still busy hiding
What it is you've got
If you're frightened of losing
What you like a lot
You may be cruisin' backwards
While thinking that you're not
I see into your eyes, the Baba Sais
The reasons why I love you
So if you don't get the picture
You won't know what I feel
If you don't get the picture
Then you won't have a depth of field

<@#George_Harrison_Soft-hearted_Hana.txt#@>
I ate it and at once my eyes could see you
No sooner had I ooped it down
I felt so far off from the ground I stood on
My legs seemed to me like high-rise buildings
My head was high up in the sky
My skin the sun began to fry like bacon
And then somebody old appeared and asked had I come far
And hadn't they just seen me up on Haleakala
I kept on body surfing to pretend I hadn't heard
There was someone there beside me, swimming like Richard III
And I'm still smiling
Seven naked native girls swam seven sacred pools
Lone-ranger smoking doobies said you're breaking all the rules
Better get your clothes on or else there'll be a row
If it wasn't for my sunstroke I would take you on right now
And I'm still smiling
I fell in love with my soft-hearted Hana
She entered right in through my heart
And now although we're miles apart
I still feel her
She lives beneath the crater in the meadow
She moves among the fruit and grain
You can meet her after heavy rain has fallen

Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets
full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
the rain.
In the heart of the lonely man
In and out of love more often where most others can
He walks the streets like the losers in some
lovers game
He talks so sweet but the news is always much
the same.
Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets
full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
the rain.
In the eyes of the lonely one
Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks
upon
He needs a friend a lover who can comfort him
His deeds offend he knows that he has brought
on him.
Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets
full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking

The lord loves the one that loves
The lord
And the law says if you don't give,
Then you don't get loving
Now the lord helps those that help
Themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you
We all making out
Like we own this whole world
While the leaders of nations
They're acting like big girls
With no thoughts for their god
Who provides us with all
But when death comes to claim them
Who will stand,
And who will fall?
The lord loves the one that loves
The lord
And the law says if you don't give,
Then you don't get loving
Now the lord helps those that help
Themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you
We all move around,
With objectives in mind,
To become rich or famous,
With our reputations signed,
But the few that can reach,
To this coveted slot,
Don't escape old age creeping,
Through their bodies,
Like a rot
While the lord loves the one that loves
The lord
And the law says if you don't give,
Then you don't get loving
Now the lord helps those that help
Themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you

(one, two, three, four)
Found myself out on a limb
But I'm happier than I've ever been
But this guitar can't keep from crying
Learned to get up when I fall
Can even climb rolling stone walls
But this guitar can't keep from crying
This here guitar can feel quite sad
Can be high strung, sometimes get mad
Can't understand or deal with hate
Responds much better to love
I though by now you knew the score
But you missed the point just like before
And this guitar can't keep from crying
(this) guitar, it can't keep from crying
This guitar can't keep from crying
This here guitar can feel quite sad
Can be high strung, sometimes get mad
It can't understand or deal with hate
Responds much better to love
While you attack, create offence
I'll put it down to your ignorance
But this guitar it can't keep from crying
This guitar can't keep from crying
This guitar can't keep from crying
This guitar can't keep from crying

The sun came into view
As I sat with the tears in my eyes
The sun came up on you
And as you smiled, the teardrop, it dried
I don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home along with you
Tired of midnight blues
The sun came up so high
And as it shone, I realized your love
The sun shone in your eyes
And as you smiled, you realized it too
Don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you
Tired of midnight blues
Don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you
Tired of midnight blues
The sun went down the sky
Way up the clouds told me that they knew
The moon came up so high
And as you smiled, I knew that you knew too
Don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you
Tired of midnight blues
I don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen

Seen them die to get high

Always be lonely

Let me know before we start the show am I fallin' in love to soon

<@#George_Jones_A_Place_In_The_Country.txt#@>
For thirty some odd years he faced a grinder in the city,
Hustlin' day in day out just tryin' to survive,
He bought his wife the finer things,and sent his kids to collage,
That always took what little bit he tried to put aside,
But through it all he had one thing that seemed to keep him going,
A dream that someday he could leave this city life behind,
I watched his hair turn thin and gray, but his dream never faded,
He told me all about it at least a thousand times.
[Chorus]
He always wanted, a place out in the country,
Where the birds sing, in the morning,and the grass is emerald green,
A place where, he could feel the mornin' sunshine,
And sit out in the evenin', where the air is, fresh and clean.
It took lots of overtime to keep his wife up with the jonses,
And more to get his son out of his run-ins with the law,
The more it took the more he gave, never once complaining,
I don't know how he ever stood the pressure of it all.
I never thought he'd make it, but he finally left the city,
And now he's got that special little place to call his own,
Today I took a ride out in the country just to see him,
It wasn't hard to find because his name was on the stone.
[Chorus: x2]

A ROSE FROM A BRIDE'S BOUQUET
WRITERS CLARK VAN NESS, JIMMY DICKENS
(It was only a rose from the bride's bouquet.) I went to a wedding one bright
summer day The bride was a beauty and the people were gay Alone in a corner I
stood till the end For the girl was my sweetheart and the boy my best friend.
When the service was over there beside the church door I picked up a rose that
fell on the floor Alone and neglected as I was that day Was my sweet little
rose from the bride's bouquet. It was only a rose from the bride's bouquet
Once filled with loves perfume now faded and grey Like the love that she gave
me it faded away This sweet little rose from the bride's bouquet. Each petal
reminds me of a moment of bliss A sweet little love word and a lingering kiss
I waited in teardrops then hide it away My sweet little rose from the bride's
bouquet...

It's been a year sense I stopped.
Same goes for alcohol.

I used to drink till I dropped.

But those were tough this is easy, and it feels
So good to say. Forgetting you is not that hard to do
For I've done it a thousand times a day. Oh I've done it a
Thousand times a day.
Friends said it would take some time to get you off my mind.
Some said I'd never let you go. But, I guess I've proved
Them wrong. One more bad habit gone.
Just like the whiskey and the smokes.
But those were tough this is easy, and I'm
All right I'm ok.

Somewhere outta nowhere along came you.

You could see my misery for a country mile
Used to being lonely surrendered to the blue
Then somehow outta nowhere along came you.

Now we was broke before we got started and it got worse later on
I wrote home for money and Billy Ray wrote a song.
Now the people sure get picky when it comes to givin' a ride
It didn't take long us leavin' but I thought we'd never arrive
Now we get more rides than hitches as we hitch hiked along
I got sore feet and blisters and Billy Ray wrote a song.
Billy Ray wrote a song about everything we did
I was a-findin' fault he was findin' rhyms that fit?
Well, we did a lot of thinkin' most of my thoughts were wrong
I wanted to ride to Nashville but Billy Ray wrote a song.
Well, we got into Nashville tired, a-hungry and cold
If we'd had a dime between us we could a-called everybody we know
We found a bar still open a little band was pickin' away
And I set in to drinkin'. Billy Ray set in to play,
He was an overnight sensation I heard the radio say
Somehow they failed to mention the miles all along the way
Anyway that's how it happened, yeah, and it sure happened strong
They wrote about it happenin' Billy Ray wrote a song.
Billy Ray wrote a song about everything he knew

On a hillside in Hazzard
Sets a new double-wide
God's little acre
Your paradise.
A poor boy found heaven
With a good country girl
He had all he wanted
She was his whole world.
But working the coal mine
Can wear a man down
He started spending
Too much time in town.
He found temptation
Fell under it's spell
And hillbilly heaven
Went to honky tonk hell.
From hillbilly heaven
To honky tonk hell
From a warm home fire burning
To a cold, cheap motel.
And an angel is crying
'Cause her good man fell
From hillbilly heaven
To honky tonk hell.
Somewhere in Hazzard
On a dark, dead-end street
Where whiskey and heartache
And old memories meet.
He looks for salvation
In a bottle each night
And just goes on livin'
Though he's lost his life.
Now there's a job in the coal mine
That needs to be filled
And a heartache in Hazzard
That won't ever heal.
He had it all
Now it's all for sale
And hillbilly heaven's
Gone to honky tonk hell.
From hillbilly heaven
To honky tonk hell
From a warm home fire burning
To a cold, cheap motel.
And an angel is crying
'Cause her good man fell
From hillbilly heaven
To honky tonk hell.
He's gone from hillbilly heaven
To honky tonk hell...

Not long ago while dancin'
Our eyes by chance did meet
Though you were with your boyfriend
You swept me off my feet.
So foolishly as I cut in
To hope for new romance
I hardly had you in my arms
When someone sought your glance.
Your just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You're careless with your charms
Just like a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You'll never get in anyone's arms.
You're everybody's sweetheart
You never stick to one
You'll play the field forever
As long as you have fun.
You'll take almost and bandit
You love variety
Whoever might be handy
You'll fall for stupidly.
Your just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You're careless with your charms
Just like a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You'll never get in anyone's arms.
You give your kisses freely
You throw your heart away

That someday you will have to pay.
But by the time you wake up
You're best days will be gone
The sweetest words that you will hear
Will be, please leave me along.

It's late, time for bed
So we sit, and I wait
For that gin and tonic
To go to your head
I know it's a devious plan
But it's the only way that I know
To get those big bad car keys
Out of your hand
You know that I remain a gentle man
But even so there's only so much a gentleman can stand
Sleep with me
Oh, sleep with me tonight
My cards are on your table
My dreams are in your bed
If I was able, I'd be there instead
Oh oh, sleep with me tonight

Where has my love gone?
How can I go on?
It seems dear love has gone away.
Where is my spirit?
I'm nowhere near it,
Oh yes, my love has gone astray.
But Ill blame it on the sun,
The sun that didn't shine,
Ill blame it on the wind and the trees.
Ill blame it on the time that never was enough,
Ill blame it on the tide and the sea,
But, my heart blames it on me.
Who poured the love out?
What made this bitter doubt?
Is peace not here for me to see?
Wish I could tell you,
But, words won't come for me to speak.
But Ill blame it on the sun,
That didn't fill the sky,
Ill blame it on the birds and the trees.
Ill blame it on the day that ended once too soon,
Ill blame it on the nights that could not be,
But, my heart blames it on me.
(background)...yeh, yeh, yeh, ooh,
Your heart blames it on you this time.

Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face,
Brush shoulders with the stars.
Where strangers take you by the hand,
And welcome you to wonderland -
From beneath their panamas...
Chorus:
Club tropicana, drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine - there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan!
Castaways and lovers meet,
Then kiss in tropicana's heat,
Watch the waves break on the bay.
Soft white sands, a blue lagoon,
Cocktail time, a summer's tune,
A whole night's holiday!
Chorus
Pack your bags,
And leave tonight.
Don't take your time,
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight!
Cool, cool, cool, cool

Cool, cool, cool, cool

I would lock you up
But I could not bear to hear you
Screaming to be set free
I would chain you up
If I'd thought you'd swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
I would strap you up
But don't worry baby
You know I wouldn't hurt you 'less you wanted me to
It's too late to stop
Won't the heavens save me?
My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you
You take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide you baby's eyes and we can...
You take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
When the passion dies -
It's just a matter of time before my heart is
Looking for a home
I'm like a maniac, at the end of the day
I'm like a doggie barking at your door
So come take me back to the place you stay
And maybe we can do it once more
You say I'm dangerous
But don't worry baby
I get excited at the things that you do
And there's a place for us in a dirty movie
Cause no-one does it better than me and you
You take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can...
You take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Please don't tell me lies
It's just a matter of time before my heart is
Looking for a home
I ain't got no more worries
I'm gonna spend some times with you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that I know it
You take me to the edge of heaven
You tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can...
You take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Don't you tell me lies, because believe me baby
One day you'll wake up on your own.
I ain't got no more worries
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
Everyone's got their eyes on you
I ain't got no more worries
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that I know it

Take the pictures, take the windows and the walls
But, baby, won't you leave me my peace of mind?
Oh, such a waste of time
Oh, such a waste
I still want you, baby
Heaven help me, heaven help me
Talk to strangers, talk to strangers
Heaven help me
Over you

I can't seem to take these changes
Everything reminds my heart of you
Thought the first time was the last time
We'd be here forever
Now I find I'm having to search again
It'll happen
It's gotta happen
Come together
I just wish somebody would tell me when
Oh, such a waste of time
Oh, such a waste
I still want you, baby
Heaven help, heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven, help me
Heaven help, heaven help

Shattered dreams, Worthless years
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell
Life began, Then was done
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
The many sounds that greet our ears
The sights our eyes befall
Will open up our merging hearts
And feed our empty souls
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
Without despair, we will share
And the joys of caring will not be erased
What has been, must never end
The joys of caring will not be replaced
When the seeds of love have planted firm
They won't be hard to find
And the songs of love I sing to you
Will echo in my mind
Hey!
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever. I said.
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever. Yeah!

To bring something in,

No, no, no, baby

Is there a time for keeping a distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day
Is there a time for Kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear
Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown
Is there a time to walk for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colors
Different names you find it hard to spell
Is there a time for first communion
A time for east 17
Is there a time to turn the mecca
Is there a time to be a beauty queen
Here she comes
Beauty plays the crown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown

Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I'm so in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hill
I even told you the golden dafodill
At least my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore
Now I shout it from the highest hill

Take my life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognize
People I care for
Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze
Please just be there for me
The things that I know
Nobody told me
The seeds that are sown
They still control me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open
Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That I cannot find
Inside my head
Wake me with love
It's all I need
But in all this time
Still no one said
If I had not asked
Would you have told me
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is I cannot seem to get my eyes open
Give me something I can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul, please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me,
We've wasted so much time
So much time

(I'm here if you see me)
She's got a song in her head and she'll sing to me
She's got a laugh that reminds me of why she's in love with me
She'd never let show she was lonely in case it had frightened me
She was carpet and stone, independent, alone
But this love always shone around me every time, oh
Waltz away dreaming till your day begins again
Free from the seasons and this state I'm in
And oh, I can't hold it all under one love
It was so long ago when we danced in the streets
Now you fly like an eagle above while I waltz away anyway
And I'm waltzing my days away
Searching for this woman I love
(I'm here if you see me)
She had a history, joy and pain, and she chose to leave
She had a thousand and one photographs that you would not believe
She'll come to you in disguise, she's there in you children's eyes
Still our mother, she's still your wife
So let her
Waltz away dreaming till your day begins again, oh yeah
Free from the reasons and this state I'm in
And oh,(trust me) I can't hold it all
(she ain't going anywhere) under one love
(trust me, she told me, when you're ready she'll be there)
It was so long ago (no, don't let go of her)
When we kissed in the streets
Now you fly like an eagle above while I waltz away anyway
Then I'm waltzing my days away
Searching for this woman I love
(and the moment you see me, I will live in your life)
(we will walk through my garden, I will see through you eyes)
Waltzing my days away (and the moment)
I was in despair (you see me) till she found me there (I will live)
Every grown man cries (in your life) with his mother's eyes
(we will walk) when you're ready too (through my garden)
She'll come back to you (I will see through your eyes)
Waltzing my days away (and the moment) she's waiting

Waltzing my days (we will walk) she's waiting
(through my garden, I will) father (see through your eyes)
She's waiting (and the moment you see me)

Drink one more cold one, come mornin' get up

I might as well go on and set her free, she's already turned me loose.
No fault, no blame, nobody done no wrong-
That's just the way it sometimes goes.
Sometimes two people just don't get along, it's time to hit the road.
[Chorus]
Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya con dios.
Good luck, wish you well, take it slow.
Easy come girl, easy go.
We tried to work it out a hundred times, ninety- nine it didn't work.
I think it's best we put it all behind before we wind up getting hurt.
No hard feelings darling, no regrets,
No tears and no broken hearts.
Call it quits, calling off all bets, it just wasn't in the cards.
[Chorus]
Easy come girl, easy go.
Vaya con dios, good luck,
Easy come, easy go.
<@#George_Strait_Everytime_You_Throw_Dirt_On_Her_(You_Lose_A_Little_Ground).txt#@>
I guess you think it's fun
To laugh at her expense
And point out each mistake she makes
In front of all your friends
You figure she'll let it go by
Cause she loves you so
But, you know
Every time you throw dirt on her
You lose a little ground
She slips a little farther away
Each time that you put her down
A lady like that can come here and get
Somebody who knows what he's found
Every time you throw dirt on her
You lose a little ground
It's hard to bite my lip
But, I ain't saying a word
I give you all the rope to hang yourself
That you deserve
You might be ahead of me in her heart today
But, that's okay
Every time you throw dirt on her
You lose a little ground
She slips a little farther away
Each time that you put her down
A lady like that can come here and get
Somebody who knows what he's found
Every time you throw dirt on her
You lose a little ground
Every time you throw dirt on her
You lose a little ground
She slips a little farther away
Each time that you put her down
A lady like that can come here and get
Somebody who knows what he's found
Every time you throw dirt on her
You lose a little ground
Every time you throw dirt on her
You lose a little ground
She slips a little farther away
Each time that you put her down
A lady like that can come here and get
Somebody who knows what he's found
Every time you throw dirt on her
You lose a little ground

Let there be not one stranger
To away in a manger
Let there be not one soul left untold
Let there be not one face unknown to the face of the one
Who will gather the foe
For Christ's sake, it's Christmas
So for Christ sake let everyone know
They all have the choice so lift up your voice
Make sure they know by Christmas Eve
Pray that everyone sees that we've opened the eyes
That were closed
For Christ's sake it's Christmas
And for Christ's sake let everyone know
For Christ's sake, it's Christmas
So for Christ sake let everyone know
They all have the choice so lift up your voice
Make sure they know by Christmas Eve
Pray that everyone sees that we've opened the eyes

<@#George_Strait_Holding_My_Own.txt#@>
There are people who don't know me
Who must think I've got it made
From all outward appearances
I guess it looks that way
I've got good friends and family
They let me know they care
I got a job to keep me going
And a car to get me there
I'm holding my own
But I'd rather be holding you
I can make it alone
But not like I made it with you
Without you here
This house just ain't no home
How long can I go on holding my own
There's brand new show that's playing
At the movies down the street
I'll probably go there after work
Then stop somewhere to eat
I've got cable on my TV
And I'll leave her on all night
While I dose off to sleep
And dream that I'm alright
I'm holding my own
But I'd rather be holding you
I can make it alone
But not like I made it with you
Without you here
This house just ain't no home
How long can I go on holding my own
How long can I go on holding my own
<@#George_Strait_House_Of_Cash.txt#@>
Well the House of Cash just burned down
All the way to the cold hard ground
The doctors came from all over town
To see the memories scattered all around
Then the stars came out by the light of day
And they heard their old friend passed away
That yard looked like a funeral hall
Without the pies and casseroles
[Chorus:]
Well, its goodbye Johnny goodbye June
Goodbye fancy living room
Well no one sleeps in Cash's bed
Except the man in black and the woman he wed
And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way around
And if those ashes in the pool could talk
To the anchor man out on the walk
I'd bet they'd be happy to announce
There'll be no yard sale now
[Chorus]
And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way around
<@#George_Strait_I_Just_Cant_Go_On_Dying_Like_This.txt#@>
I'm driving in my car alone
You called me on the telephone
How many times will it take till I'm convinced
That you're using me, I'm just a used-to-be?
It's a lie, I know it's a lie
But I just can't go on dying like this
Can I see you tonight?
Baby, I'll act just like you want me to
Or is that just exactly what I'm not supposed to do?
I'll just stop in here, have a glass of beer
I'm just a fool I guess
But I just can't go on dying like this
Here I am again, it's four AM
I think I'll play that song again
The one called "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
And I'll wonder where you are tonight
I don't know, I just don't know
But I just can't go on dying like this
Can I see you tonight?
Baby, I'll act just like you want me to
Or is that just exactly what I'm not supposed to do?
I'll just stop in here, have a glass of beer
I'm just a fool I guess
But I just can't go on dying like this

Yes, I know I'm late gettin' home tonight
Can supper wait, I quess I lost my appetite
Yeah you can fix me a drink, oh anything's okay
Oh, by the way I met a friend of yours today
I was workin' on the other side of town
And comin' home I thought I'd stop and have a round
And in this bar I heard someone speak your name
And that's how I met a friend of yours today
I listened for awhile and I could tell
That that stranger there he knew you much to well
And I introduced myself and you should have seen his face
Oh what a shame I met a friend of yours today
Please don't cry woman 'cause it's much too late for tears
Yeah, I'm sorry too 'cause it hurts after all these years
And ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way
And all because I met a friend of yours today

Let's turn the lights down soft and low
And watch the fire embers glow
Let's lock the world outside the door
This is the night we've been waiting for
The moon is shining through the window pane
I hear the echo of a passing train
Taking someone's lover far away
But in your arms is where I wanna stay
Tonight I'm the luckiest man in the world
Wrapped in the arms of a beautiful girl
And now that I've found you
I'm never gonna let you go
Let your hair fall across your breast
Show me the warmth of your soft caress
The music's playin' soft and slow
We're driftin' into the afterglow
Tonight I'm the luckiest man in the world
Wrapped in the arms of a beautiful girl
And now that I've found you
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go
<@#George_Strait_In_Too_Deep.txt#@>
Ain't love a strain
Ain't it a pain in your heart
Ain't worth the trouble anyhow
I'd like to give it up
I've had enough and I've done my part
But I'm in too deep to pull out now
Good things we've had are going bad
And I don't know why
I'd turn it around if I knew how
I'm pushing aside all of my pride and it's worth a try
'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now
[Chorus:]
We need to get our love back on its feet again
We've come to far to let it come to an end
What can I do
I'm in to you up over my heart
And I've tried all that I know how
Doing all I can
I can't stand to see us fall apart
And I'm in too deep to pull out now
[Chorus:]
I can't step aside and let you
Slide right out of my life
It will cause more hurt than the law will allow
I'll get us back on the track
And it will be all right
'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now
'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now

Sun shines, clouds rain
Train whistles blow and guitars play
Preachers preach, farmers plow
Wishes go up, and the world goes round
And I love you
It just come natural
It just comes natural
Seasons change, rivers wind
Tumble weeds roll, and the stars shine
Wind howls, dawn breaks
Cowboys riding time slips away
And I love you
It just come natural
It's what I was born to do
Don't have to think it through
Baby, it's so easy loving you
It just come natural
It's what I was born to do
Don't have to think it through
Baby, it's so easy loving you
Fire burns, waves crash
Seeds grow and good things last
Ships sail, dreams fly
Night falls and full moons rise
And I love you
It just come natural
And I love you
It just come natural
It just come natural
It just come natural

Remember how lonely I told you it would be
Without you here with me
But you just turned and walked away
And now that I've found somebody new
You've changed your tune
You want me back but all I can say
[Chorus]
It's too late now
Just tell me how long did you think
I'd be your fool
And I would sit right here an' wait
For you to make up
Your mind to show up
Well, just turn around
I'm sorry it's too late now
Well didn't I tell you that one of these days
It would be too late
To say you'd made a big mistake
And now you've come back like you've never been gone
Well baby you're wrong
Somebody else has taken your place
[Chorus]
<@#George_Strait_Ive_Got_A_Funny_Feeling.txt#@>
Well my baby's wearin' a permanent smile
A satisfied look I ain't seen for awhile
I ain't had no rings, fulfilled any dreams
But somethin's come over my baby it seems
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal
If I came home early, lord what would I find?
Maybe I'd rather just walk around blind
I know baby loves me, lord I understand
I love how emotions can get out of hand
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal
Wherever he is, well I'm callin' his bluff
I'm gonna start wearin' that good smellin' stuff
And I'll be the lover that I used to be
Whatever she's missin', she'll get it from me
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my gal

We said goodbye in Marina del Rey
"I had a good time"
Was the last thing I heard her say
As I walked away
And on the plane back to Tennessee
My mind comes across her memory
And yesterday
In Marina del Rey
[Chorus]
On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away
In Marina del Rey
And as we looked into each others' eyes
We were lost in paradise
Like two castaways
In Marina del Rey
Like the ocean tide's highs and lows
Love sometimes comes and goes away
In Marina del Rey
And as this plane is touchin' down
Tears touch my eyes for I have found
My heart has stayed
In Marina del Rey
[Chorus]
We said goodbye
In Marina del Ray

Just a one pump fill-in station
Lord and one old general store
I found her in that wide spot
In the road
And the brightest lights she'd ever seen
Were the headlights on my pickup
Till she saw the lights behind
Those swinging doors
And everywhere she goes
She leaves the jukebox smoking
Everywhere she's been
There's ashes on the ground
I see the glow in the sky
Through the teardrops in my eyes
My old flame's out burnin'
Another honky tonk down
So country, young and pretty
She's never been no where before
And I lost her behind
Those swinging doors
Now it's just me and my old pickup
Making every joint in town
'Cause tonight she's out somewhere
To burn one down
And everywhere she goes
She leaves the jukebox smoking
Everywhere she's been
There's ashes on the ground
I see the glow in the sky
Through the teardrops in my eyes
My old flame's out burnin'
Another honky tonk down
My old flame's out burnin'
Another honky tonk down

Come to the well she said
Come eat my bread
Come drink the water of life
Enter my valley deep
Let the angels weep
Rejoice and touch the good earth tonight
And there was gingham and silk
Sage, honey and milk
Sweetmeats, spirits and wine
She bathed us in sweet balms of rose
Lit candles of clove
And lay her glisting body on mine
We stayed locked in love
In leaves of green and gold
She touched, I trembled, we kissed
I poured the contents of my aching heart and soul
Soon she woke up with the sun
Filled with seeds of worlds to come
Come to the well she said
Come and eat my bread
Come and drink the water of life

Breathin' holy air in my canoe
Groovin' down superior
Takin' taboos easier
Talkin' with the lord in my canoe
Send me no pillows I can dream on
I've seen all the nightmares I can bear to see
Gotta find the river to your kingdom in my canoe
Many moons on erie lake
Not a bottle of beer to break
Heaven knows I try best I can do
Maybe lake ontario
Gonna take me where I hope
Got to find the lord in my canoe
Paddlin' down the michigan
Catchin' all the fish I can
Breathin' holy air in my canoe
Send me no willows I can weep on
I've done all the crying I can bear to do
Lookin' for the tributary to your kingdom
In my canoe.

More and more
Your kiss is like a half opened door
I can't get in
You stop me just before I begin
And it hurts to be in love
When you never get enough
Oh it hurts to be in love
This endless urge
Keeps my body right on the verge
We touch and then
I wanna do it all over again
And it hurts to be in love
When you only want me half as much
I tell you it hurts to be in love
I'm always worried you think I'm pushing too hard
Oh baby it hurts me when you tell me I'm going to far
We touch and then
I wanna do it all over again
And it hurts to be in love
When you only want me half as much
I tell you it hurts to be in love
It hurts
Baby it hurts
It hurts

Memories of love above the city lights

And tell you what I feel about you babe

I never want to live without you babe

Ooh, I've tried hard to forget it
But oh Lord my mind won't let it

And tell you what I feel about you babe

The world ain't right without you babe

I gotta keep walking to someone I love
This empty heart's in jeopardy
Living without you
It seems I keep falling for someone somewhere
One single hope someone real
Keeps me hangin' on
Now I really don't mind that it's been so long
If somewhere in this world you exist
And it really won't seem like it's been so sad
Just as long as I know I've been missed
Time is on my side
Cause somehow I know you're there
Baby I'm talking about someone like you
I love you in my loneliness
And it keeps me walking on
I've gotta keep walking to someone I love
My faith in your reality keeps me hangin' on

You broke the wings of a weary vagabond
And I'm stranded on the island of your love
You are the fruit of my amazon
Love of my life I'm no good on my own
Love of my nights
Take my pride take my flesh
Take all my blues
Love of my life
Don't you know my life's a bore
When there's nothing to lose
I am the prisoner of your paradise
Sunken in the bayou of your love
I make this sensual sacrifice
Love of my life
For the good of my own
Love of my life
I'm no good on my own
Love of my life
Take my heart take my soul
Take what you feel

Don't you know I'm just a man
For a woman who's real

I want some slow love
The kind that lasts forever
The kind of love that will be there in the morning
I want some slow love
The kind that leaves me never
The kind of love that lasts a long long time
Now don't mistake my coolness for a cold heart
I want you more than you should know
It's just these days I'm not inclined to move so fast
Why don't you stay a while say a hundred years or so
And make some slow love
The kind that lasts forever
The kind of love that will be there in the morning
I want some slow love
The kind that leaves me never
The kind of love that lasts a long long time
I'm not inclined to live a lifetime in one night
Although I long to touch I yearn for much, much more
A slow love
The kind that lasts forever
The kind of love that will be there in the morning
I want some slow love
The kind that leaves me never
The kind of love I thought I'd never find
The kind of love that lasts a long time

Look out for the evil eye
Who was that damsel with that wicked stare?
Get off my case and take your sins elsewhere
You love and learn, you cross that bridge
You want to pacify
The tables turn and you've dug your ditch
Look out for the evil eye
Oh look out!

(My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore
(My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious
(But maybe just a cigarette) Never such a blizzard before
(I got to get home) But baby you'd freeze out there
(Say lend me a comb) It's up to your knees out there
(You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand
(But don't you see) How can you do this to me
(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow
(At least they'll be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died
(I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt
(Both) Baby it's cold
(Both) Baby it's cold outside
<@#Glee_Barracuda.txt#@>
So this ain't the end, I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the Sun, kisses for everyone
And tales, it never fails!
You lying so low in the weeds
Bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down to my knees
Wouldn't you, Barracuda?
Back over time when we were all trying for free
Met up with porpoise and me
No right no wrong you're selling a song, a name
Whisper game
If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn it out to the wick
Aren't you, Barracuda?
"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You, I think you got the blues too.
All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools, silly fools!

I'm just a Broadway Baby
Walking off my tired feet
Pounding Forty Second Street
To be in a show, oh

Learnin' how to sing and dance
Waiting for that one big chance
To be in a show, oh
Blaine and Rachel:
Gee, I'd like to be on some marquee
All twinkling lights
A spark to pierce the dark
From Batt'ry Park to Washington Heights

Some day maybe

Heck, I'd even play the maid

Only what I got
Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot

Slaving at the five and ten (Oooo, Yeah)

Hey, hey

Oh, Broadway Baby (Broadway Baby)

Making rounds all afternoon
Eating at a greasy spoon
To save on my dough
At my tiny flat there's just my cat
A bed and a chair
Still I'll stick it till
I'm on a bill
Blaine:
All over Times Square
Rachel:
All some day maybe
Blaine and Rachel:
If I stick it long enough
I may get to strut my stuff
Rachel:
Working for a nice man

I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showing
Hot night, wind was blowing
Where you think you're going baby?
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
It's hard to look right, at you baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy

But here's my number, so call me maybe
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad... I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad

There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away
Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Like a diamond
From black dust
It's hard to know
It can become
A few give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Will you love me? ohh

To mass fires, yes
One hundred stories high
People gettin' loose y'all
Gettin' down on the roof, do you hear?
The folks was flaming
Out of control
It was so entertainin'
When the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn, disco inferno
Burn baby burn, burn that mama down
Burn baby burn, disco inferno
Burn baby burn, burn that mama down
Burnin'
Satisfaction
Came in the chain reaction

I couldn't get enough

Rising to the top
Everybody's goin' strong
And that is when my spark got hot

Up above my head, I hear music in the air

There's somebody somewhere
Satisfaction

It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
But say a prayer, pray for the other ones
Oh at Christmas time, it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well, tonight, thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Here's to you, raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time
And feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time
And feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time
And feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
(Tears stream down on your face)
(When you lose something you cannot replace)
(Tears stream down on your face)
(And I)
(Tears stream down on your face)
(I promise you that I will learn from my mistakes)
(Tears stream down on your face)
(And I)
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart

And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got some brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry Chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I like it, I liked it
No I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
You're my experimental game
Just human nature
It's not what, good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets, so confused hard to obey
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry Chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I like it, I liked it
Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable
Too good to, deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry Chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I like it, I liked it

A sweet September in your eyes November notions in the clothes you wear
You're every season's work of art but there's a cold December in your heart
It seemed to me the day we met that all the flowers had begun to bloom
I thought you'd help me to forget the dusty shadows of my lonely room
I should have known right from the start about the cold December in your heart
I loved you more and more each day through every season of the year
Your lovin' laughter seemed to say your life was empty when I wasn't near
Old love would lead you to the grave I was a fool to think you loved my too
You always took but you never gave until you've taken all my love for you
I feel a chill I must depart and leave the cold December in your heart
In your heart in your heart

Sweet country girl it's not hard to believe
Pretty flowers bloom wherever she's been walking uh-huh
Shadows erase in the last light of day night time is startin' to settle
Red colored stone Lord is leading my way to her cottage way down in the meadow
She's my sweet country girl...
Green trees and golden hay and sunshine here every day
Big cities far behind me well it's love with her to think I'm a gonna stay

<@#Glen_Campbell_I_Have_No_One_To_Love_Me_Anymore.txt#@>
My baby's gone I have no one who needs me anymore
I can't go on I have no one to love me anymore
Time on my hands you on my mind giving in the broken dreams you left behind
Wherever I go whatever I do my heart keeps blinding me reminding me we're
through
My baby's gone...
You took my hand and turned away leaving me within the walls of yesterday
Wherever I go whatever I do there's no use trying I guess I'll never forget
you
My baby's gone...
<@#Glen_Campbell_Im_Not_Gonna_Miss_You.txt#@>
I'm still here, but yet I'm gone
I don't play guitar or sing my songs
They never defined who I am
The man that loves you 'til the end
You're the last person I will love
You're the last face I will recall
And best of all, I'm not gonna miss you
Not gonna miss you
I'm never gonna hold you like I did
Or say, "I love you" to the kids
You're never gonna see it in my eyes
It's not gonna hurt me when you cry
I'm never gonna know what you go through
All the things I'll say or do
All the hurt and all the pain
One thing selfishly remains
I'm not gonna miss you
I'm not gonna miss you
<@#Glen_Campbell_Its_Over.txt#@>
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would always be
There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
Make us realize our night
Is over
When you walk away from me there
Is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes against the sun
That rises o'er the land
I watch you walk away somehow
I have to let you go now
It's over
If you knew just how I really
Feel you might return and yet
There are so many times that people
Have to love and then forget
Though there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
It's over
So I turn my back and
Turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence
Tryin' not to think at all
Send my tired feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It's over
It's over
<@#Glen_Campbell_Just_To_Satisfy_You.txt#@>
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Someone's gonna pay for the things you do
How many hearts will break
How many will it take
Just to satisfy you
Just to satisfy-why you
Another love, another fool, to play your game
Another love, another fool, they're a-all the same
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Now don't be surprised if that someone is you
You're gonna find when it's too late
A heart that just won't break
Just to satisfy you
Oh-oh, just to satisfy-why you
You're gonna find when it's too late
A heart that just won't break
Just to satisfy you
Oh-oh, just to satisfy-why you
What does it take, to satisfy you
Woah, just to satisfy you
(Just to satisfy you)
<@#Glen_Campbell_Last_Thing_On_My_Mind.txt#@>
A lesson too late for the learning made of sand made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning in your hand in your hand
Are you going away with no word of farewell will there be not a trace left
behind
I could have loved you better didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
You've got reasons of plenty for going this I know Lord this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growing please don't go please don't go
As I lie in my bed in the morning without you without you
Each song in my breast dies a borning without you Lord without you
Are you going away...
<@#Glen_Campbell_Legend_Of_Bonnie_And_Clyde.txt#@>
Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe
Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away
They both robbed and killed until both loved and died
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde
The poem that she wrote of the life that they led
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead
Some say that Clyde made her life a shame
But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game
The rampage grew wilder with each passing day
Their odds growing smaller with each get-away
The end getting closer the harder they fought
With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught
They drove back from town on one bright summer day
When a man they be-friended stepped out in the way
With no thought of dying they both took his side
But the death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde
Now two years of running was ended that day
For robbing and killing they both had to pay
We'll always remember how they lived and died
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie and Clyde
<@#Glen_Campbell_One_Last_Time.txt#@>
One last time let me love you one last time
All I need is one more chance to say goodbye
One last kiss then I swer I'll let you go baby I need you I've got to see you
One more night stay with me till tomorrow
Just tonight let's pretend that tomorrow will never come (baby I need you)
One last time loving you before the end I can't face never seeing you again
One last look in your eyes to know we're through baby I need you I've got to
see you
One more night stay with me till tomorrow
Just tonight let's pretend that tomorrow will never come
Baby I need you (one last time) I've got to see you (one last time)
Baby I need you (one last time) baby I need you (one last time)
Baby I want you (one last time) baby I want you (one last time)
Baby I want you (one last time) baby I want you (one last time)
<@#Glen_Campbell_Rhinestone_Cowboy.txt#@>
I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know
<@#Glen_Campbell_She_Understands_Me.txt#@>
She understands me and she cares how I feel
Cause she's always there to hold my hand
Somehow she knows it when this old world's got me down
Yes she understands her man
We've seen the rain and the sunshine together
Many times she's watched me stumble and fall
And she's always there by my side when I need her
Through the good through the bad through it all
And though how it hurts me when her dreams don't come true
When I can't give her all the things I planned
But Lord it ain't easy and she knows that's light
Thank God for my woman she understands
<@#Glen_Campbell_Somebody_Like_That.txt#@>
Well he can't be more than seventy
She's not a day over sixty-five
But they'd returned to a plane in forty-three
And their fire's still burning bright
They'll be found holdin' hands at the picture show
Lookin' just like Juliet and Romeo
The sad song won't steal the beat away
They got a special kind of love that's here to stay
See the romance on the port of sea
Auburn hair grew a silver linin'
There's something in their eyes
You just don't see these days
I wanna love somebody like that, I wanna hold on forever
Two heart's become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody, yeah
I was head over heels in junior high
And it lasted a week or two
When my heart was destroyed I cried and cried
'Til I found me somebody new
Life without a real love is tragedy
That's why I'm gonna find a love that's right for me
I've gotta look beyond what my eyes can see
Until my dreams are reality
There's gotta be more to fallin' in love
Than fallin' away when the stayin' gets tough
I want my love to be young
When I'm old and gray
I wanna love somebody like that, I wanna hold on forever
Two heart's become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody, yeah
I wanna love somebody like that, I wanna hold on forever
Two heart's become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody
I wanna love somebody like that
<@#Glen_Campbell_These_Days.txt#@>
Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days,
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
For you
And all the times I had the chance to
And I had a lover
It's so hard to risk another these days
These days,
Now if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
Well it's just that I've been losing for so long
I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
One of these days,
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them
<@#Glen_Campbell_Try_A_Little_Kindness.txt#@>
If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and stay you're going the wrong way
You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way
You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
<@#Glen_Campbell_Turn_Around,_Look_At_Me.txt#@>
There is someone walking behind you,
Turn around, look at me.
There is someone watching your footsteps,
Turn around, look at me
There is someone who really needs you,
Here's my heart in my hand.
Turn around, (turn around), look at me, (look at me,)
Understand,understand,
That there's someone who'll stand beside you.
Turn around, look at me.
And there's someone who'll love and guide you.
Turn around, look at me.
I've waited, but I'll wait forever for you to come to me.
Look at someone (look at someone)
Who really loves you, yeah, really loves you.
Turn around, look at me.
<@#Glen_Campbell_What_A_Friend_We_Have_In_Jesus.txt#@>
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrow share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
So take it to the Lord in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Everything to God in prayer
<@#Gloria_Estefan_Ay,ay,i.txt#@>
I try hard to resist you
Pretend that you're not there
I haven't even kissed you
But don't think that I won't dare
'Cause you get to me baby
Like no one ever could
Why don't you come and save me
Don't tease me like you do
No no no no
Ay ay I can't do without you
No,no can't do , I can't do without you
Ay ay I can't do without you
No matter what they tell me
There's nothin' like true love
But if there's no happy ending
At least you loved then lost
That's how I feel about you
And though it may take some time
I love everything about you
And I've got to make you mine
No no no no
Ay ay I can't do without you
I love you baby, can't you see I want you baby
Ay ay I can't do without you
And though you set me up then
Turn me down
No matter what you say or do
Your eyes are telling me you want me too
I'm looking right through you
And what I see is heaven
Just waiting there for me
Baby this was meant to happen
Or I'll never be set free
No no no no
Ay ay I can't do without you
No, baby can't do
Ay ay I can't do without you
<@#Gloria_Estefan_Breaking_Up_Is_Hard_To_Do.txt#@>
You tell me that you're leaving
Can't believe it's true
Boy there's no living without you
Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
'Cause if you go then I'll be blue
Breaking up is hard to do
Remember when you held me tight,
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we been through,
And breaking up is hard to do
They say that breakin' up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breakin' up
I wish that we were making up again
I beg of you
Don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love
Just one more try
Come on baby
Let's start anew
Breakin' up is hard to do
Breakin' up is oh so hard to do
<@#Gloria_Estefan_Dont_Release_Me.txt#@>
A one two a one two, yeah yeah
I'd like to introduce to you
Wyclef jean with gloria estefan
When the cubans meet the haitians and sicilians
Hold your corner, hold your corner
For all the thugs who've ever been in love
Hey, yo, this one goes out for the Cuban kings and queens
You ever fell in love with a pretty serpentine?
I met her at the club, yes down with my pager
Asked her what's her name, she said, Gloria
Where you from?, Cuba
What do you do?, I'm a singer
I pulled out my stash
She said: are you a dealer from Havana?
No, no
Yo, can I buy you a tequila?
She said: hell no, I'll take a pina colada
Now with one drink, I'll put her in a spell
I'm huntin' the kid
Like a cheetah hunts a gazelle
I know it's wrong, but I'm waiting for her mistake
So I can take over like the devil's advocate
Please don't release me, don't release me
From this spell you got me under
Please don't release me, don't release me
From this spell you got me under
I can't let go, I can't let go
Got to hold on to you, baby
Got to hold on to you now
Ooh, you make me feel like I could lose control
I'm gonna lose it right now
I want to show you what love can do
You know I feel like I am walking in the clouds
And I don't want to come down
I can't let go, oh no
Please don't release me, don't release me
From this spell you got me under
I can't let go, I can't let go
Got to hold on to you, baby
Got to hold on to you now
Show me how to find the way to paradise
You can take me there
I want to be the only lover in your life
Ooh baby, don't release me
I got this feelin' that I can't explain
Don't you know I feel like I could rise above the ground
Don't want to come down
Please don't release me, don't release me
From this spell you got me under
I can't let go, I can't let go
Got to hold on to you, baby
Got to hold on to you now
<@#Gloria_Estefan_I_Need_Your_Love.txt#@>
Something deep inside of me
Keeps holding on to your memory
How I've tried to find someone new
But everywhere I look it's you that I see
Don't you know that my whole life has changed
I can't look at the past without feeling the pain
And at night all alone I just cry
And I hope, and I pray you'll be
Back by my side
I need your love
Every day seems forever without you
I need your love
Tell me that you'll come back to me
All my friends tell me
I'll be ok
That someday i'll forget you
And i'll love once again
But someday seems so far away
And I know I won't make it without you in the end
Tell me how can I go on this way
Knowing that someone else could be
Taking my place
Tell me where in the world would I be
If I wake up each morning and you're not here with me
I need your love
Everyday seems forever without you
I need your love
Tell me that you'll come back to me
I need your love
Every day seems forever without you
I need your love
Tell me that you'll come back to me
I need your love
Every day seems forever without you
I need your love
Tell me that you'll come back to love me
<@#Gloria_Estefan_If_We_Were_Lovers.txt#@>
One day soon, it's gonna happen just by chance
You and I will just succumb to this romance
On that day my love will find you
And you'll discover what a wonder life can be
And you will know how much I love you
If we were lovers
If we were more than just good friends
I know how good it could be
Just by the way you're looking at me
As if we were lovers, if we were lovers
I've waited so long for that day
I think you feel the same way
You try so hard not to give it away
Afraid that I'll discover
What in your heart you know, is meant to be
Darlin' if you want it to be me
To be the one to say, I want you
Then I'm telling you now
Gonna find a way somehow, to be your lover
And spend the whole night making love
Then find it's never enough
Just think what we are giving up
Every day that we're not lovers
Few times in our lives can we feel this way
It would be a shame just to throw it away
Time is slipping by, we don't know what's ahead
I don't want to look back and have any regrets
One day soon, it's gonna happen just by chance
You and I will just succumb to this romance
On that day my love will find you
And you'll discover what a wonder life can be
And you will know how much I love you
On that day my love will find you
And you'll discover what a wonder life can be
And you will know how much I love you
How much I love you
<@#Gloria_Estefan_Language_Of_Love.txt#@>
Some spend their time in conversation
They just talk and talk all day
But there's a sweeter situation, and
It's just a touch away
One kiss can say all that we need to say
Don't have to tell me you care
The message gets through
With the things you're doing
When we're alone in the dark, you speak
To my soul, talk to my heart
In the language of love, we say everything
Every time that we touch we say so much
In the language of love, nothing says it better
Than when we're talking together
Touch by touch in the language of love
In the language of love
This love don't need no explanation
We understand just fine, oh baby
Got heart to heart communication
I tell ya that's the sweetest kind
I love the way your body talks to mine
You can just look in my eyes to know that it's
Real 'cause we go by feeling
We don't need words to express what's in our hearts we say it best
<@#Gloria_Estefan_Say_Goodbye.txt#@>
I've seen and done it all it seems
I've cried for all it's worth a few times
I've lived and loved in search of truth
I've seen a lot of pain oh, oh, oh, to finally realize
The reason for this life
Is to say goodbye to sorrow
Don't hang on to the tears we borrow
Say goodbye to sorrow and feel
That we are so free, we are free
I've seen the bottom once or twice
I've soared above the earth as suddenly
I've made a few mistakes, it's true
I've seen enough of hate, oh, oh, oh, to finally realize
There's not much more to life
Than to say goodbye to sorrow
Don't hold on to the fears we borrow
Say goodbye to sorrow and feel
We are so free, we are free
We may long for happiness
Pray to God that we be blessed
Save us from this loneliness
After all that I've been through
I believe the thing to do
Is to look inside of you
And just say goodbye to sorrow
Don't give up all the years we borrow
Say goodbye to sorrow and feel
That we are so free, we are free
<@#Gloria_Gaynor_I_Want_To_Know_What_Love_Is.txt#@>
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Ive got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I cant stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is

And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is

I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah
I wanna know what love is, lets talk about love

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get along
And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive (hey hey)
It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
And you see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little girl
Who fell in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm saving all my loving
For someone who's loving me
Go on now go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive (oh)
Go on now go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know than well
That I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
Cause I've got you under my skin

Used to hear me say
Baby, I need you, I'm lonely and deprived
And without your love I can't get through the day
When you're gone my world just slowly fades away
And I
Gave you my lovin' every time you asked
Gave my heart, held nothing back
Now I see that you couldn't handle that
Oh, how things have changed
Maybe it was that I was insecure
That won't happen anymore
That was before
No, I'm not, no, I'm not the same
I've feel stronger than you know
Strong and now I can do without you
The pity that you show
So don't mistake me for a fool
Made a mistake
My only problem was loving you
I'm stronger now
Used to cry and cry
Sit around and wait for you to dry my eyes
And I know you're thinking here we go again
Your broken heart that I have to mend
Gave you my lovin' every time you asked
Gave my heart held nothing back
Now I see that you couldn't handle that

Made a mistake
My problem was loving you
I'm stronger now
Oh, you know I used to love you
But oh, my friend, I can live without you
Don't need your sympathy
I'm letting you go free
It used to be so predictable
So innocent and so simple
I can tell that you're surprised
I'm someone you don't recognize
I've feel stronger than you know
Strong and now I can do without you
The pity that you show
So don't mistake me for a fool
Made a mistake
My problem was loving you
I've feel stronger than you know
Strong and now I can do without you
The pity that you show
But don't mistake me for a fool
Made a mistake
My problem was loving you
I'm stronger now

You always said my eyes
Were the windows of my soul
You could always fill my love
And pain without been told
I never knew how, but I don't
Even dare to look at you now.
So, if you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we leave
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry, ooh baby,
Walk on by, ooh darling
Please, walk on by,
I don't want to you to see me cry
Walk on by, please, please
Baby, baby don't stop
So, if you ever love
Look the other way
There is anything left to say
Anyway
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye, ooh baby
Walk on by, oh sugar
Walk on by (baby, baby don't stop)
Baby, baby don't stop
Walk on by,
Walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by, baby
Walk on by, sugar
Walk on by, walk on by
I don't want to see me cry
Walk on by, walk on by,
All the tears that I have cry,
I don't have nothing left to say,
Please take your head, look the other way,
Wow, wow, wow, walk on by,
Walk on by

Now you say it's the end
Oh, but I think we can start over again
Just to think of the time
We were mellowed by spices of love
Let's not pretend
This can be the end of this love affair
We have all of the time in the world to live it again
Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again
As our hearts join one more time
Misunderstanding we could live behind
Don't you think it ain't true
I'm gonna keep on loving you
Let's not pretend
This can be the end of this love affair
We have all of the time in the world to live it again
Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again
Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again
With you out of my life I can't sleep at night
I climb the highest mountains, swim the deepest sea
To get to that love that belongS to me
As our hearts join one more time
Misunderstanding we could live behind
Don't you think it ain't true
I'm gonna keep on loving you
Baby we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again and again and again, baby
Now you say it's the end
Oh, but I think we can start over again
Just to think of the time
We were mellowed by spices of love
Let's not pretend
This can be the end of this love affair
We have all the time in the world to live it again
Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again

Beyond the wild misty mountain
Within the valley so free
There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow
Soft as the wind and wild as the sea
When will you love me
As I love thee
I have no gold to give her
Nor gowns of soft crimson hue
Nor poems of love no rhymes to bring her
Into my heart so strong so true
When will you love me
As I love you
Beyond the wild misty mountain
Within the valley so free
There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow
Soft as the wind and wild as the sea
When will you love me
As I love thee
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_A_Tree_Too_Weak_To_Stand.txt#@>
I see a place where candles burn and lovers rest tonight
The hollow sound inside me now keeps telling me to write
But songs of love will never leave love's feelings undefiled
The tide has turned, the waves roll in, the waters fill my eyes
The price of lust has risen till the ceiling will not stand
The tears I shed were not in shame, the world was in my hands
If trust was just a simple thing then trusting I would be
But deep within my soul I know it's better to be free
The days fly by, the waves roll in, but freedom has not come
I fear my faith will soon give out, my senses come undone
My role is played, the demon dogs come stealin' o'er land
And foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to stand
I see a place where candles burn and lovers rest tonight
The hollow sound inside me now keeps telling me to write
But songs of love should not be sung where staying is not planned
And foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to stand
And foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to stand

It's alright for some but not alright for me
When the one that I'm lovin' slips around
You think it's fine to do things I cannot see
And you're doin' it to me, baby, can't you see
That I know how it is?
I can see it in your eyes
And feel it in the way you kiss my lips
I can hear it in your voice
Whenever we are talking like this
I can see what you believe in
When his name is mentioned and I die
I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk
The way you close your eyes
It's alright for some, but not alright to be
Where the one that I'm lovin' can't be found
The city where we live, might be quite large
But the circle is small, why not tell us all
And then all of us will know?
I can see it in your eyes
And feel it in the way you kiss my lips
I can hear it in your voice
Whenever we are talking like this
I can see what you believe in
When his name is mentioned and I die
I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk
The way you close your eyes
It's alright to leave, but not alright to lie
When you come home and you can't say where you've been
You think it's fine to do, things I cannot see
And you're doin' it to me, baby, can't you see
That I know how it is?
I can see it in your eyes
And feel it in the way you kiss my lips
I can hear it in your voice
Whenever we are talking like this
I can see what you believe in
When his name is mentioned and I die
I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk
The way you close your eyes

And feel it in the way you kiss my lips

Black day in July
Motor city madness has touched the countryside
And through the smoke and cinders
You can hear it far and wide
The doors are quickly bolted
And the children locked inside
Black day in July
Black day in July
And the soul of Motor City is bared across the land
As the book of law and order is taken in the hands
Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land
Black day in July
Black day in July
In the streets of Motor City is a deadly silent sound
And the body of a dead youth lies stretched upon the ground
Upon the filthy pavement
No reason can be found
Black day in July
Black day in July
Motor City madness has touched the countryside
And the people rise in anger
And the streets begin to fill
And there's gunfire from the rooftops
And the blood begins to spill
Black day in July
In the mansion of the governor
There's nothing that is known for sure
The telephone is ringing
And the pendulum is swinging
And they wonder how it happened
And they really know the reason
And it wasn't just the temperature
And it wasn't just the season
Black day in July
Black day in July
Motor City's burning and the flames are running wild
They reflect upon the waters of the river and the lake
And everyone is listening
And everyone's awake
Black day in July
Black day in July
The printing press is turning
And the news is quickly flashed
And you read your morning paper
And you sip your cup of tea
And you wonder just in passing
Is it him or is it me
Black day in July
In the office of the President
The deed is done the troops are sent
There's really not much choice you see
It looks to us like anarchy
And then the tanks go rolling in
To patch things up as best they can
There is no time to hesitate
The speech is made the dues can wait
Black day in July
Black day in July
The streets of Motor City now are quiet and serene
But the shapes of gutted buildings
Strike terror to the heart
And you say how did it happen
And you say how did it start
Why can't we all be brothers
Why can't we live in peace
But the hands of the have-nots
Keep falling out of reach
Black day in July
Black day in July
Motor city madness has touched the countryside
And through the smoke and cinders
You can hear it far and wide
The doors are quickly bolted
And the children locked inside
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_Cold_Hands_From_New_York.txt#@>
I came down through Albany to New York
To find what I'd been missin'
I looked across the river to the city
Where the windows all stood glistenin'
I stood listenin'
Into a tunnel I did rise, like a grave inside
But I was young and able
When I came out the other end
Ah through the smoke, the winter light was feeble
Unreadable
I was optimistic though, a cabbie told me where to go
I thanked him
A face of white, a face of brown
Ah here a smile and there a look of danger
For a stranger
It was too unreal for me
I found no one who trusted me
There was no man could offer me
A cold hand from New York
Cold hands from New York
A voice within you cries, "Won't someone please help me
I'll do the same for you one day
If you should ever pass my way and need me"
I came down to live alone in New York
The city of the living
There were fortunes at my feet but most of men
Were taking, none we giving
Or forgiving
Children ran and children played and roses grew in alleyways
I saw them
There were men who lived in style and others who had died
Where no one knew them
Beause they couldn't win
There were parks where old men slept and dingy rooms
Where babies crept unwanted
Till I began to ask myself if there were hope
Or if it mattered what they did
Or if they lived
It was too unreal for me
I found no one who trusted me
There was no man could offer me
A cold hand from New York
Cold hands from New York
A voice within you cries, "Won't someone please help me
I'll do the same for you one day
If you should ever pass my way and need me"
I came down through Albany to New York
To find what I'd been missin'
I looked across the river to the city
Where the windows all stood glistenin'
I stood listenin'
And there were prophets in the squares
And people there who smiled and said, "Forget it"
There were lovers in the park
And there was danger in the dark, I felt it
So afraid of it
And there were preachers of the Word and poets
Who were never heard, I heard them
There were those who would not try to learn
The measure of the lie they're livin'
I heard a young musician play in a place
Where they paid you not to listen
I heard a woman scream for help while men stood by
And offered their best wishes
That's how it is
It was too unreal for me
I found no one who trusted me
There was no man could offer me
A cold hand from New York
Cold hands from New York
A voice within you cries, "Won't someone please help me
I'll do the same for you one day
If you should ever pass my way and need me"
Cold hands from New York
A voice within you cries, "Won't someone please help me
I'll do the same for you one day
If you should ever pass my way and need me"
Cold hands from New York
A voice within you cries, "Won't someone please help me
I'll do the same for you one day
If you should ever pass my way and need me"
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_Early_Mornin_Rain.txt#@>
In the early mornin' rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long ways from home
And I missed my loved one so
In the early mornin' rain
With no place to go
Out on runway number nine
Big seven o seven set to go
Well I'm out here on the grass
Where the pavement never grows
Where the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
There she goes my friend
She's rolling out at last
Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound
For above the clouds she flies
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home
In about three hours time
This ol' airport's got me down
It's no earthly good to me
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
Cold and drunk as I might be
Can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_Fading_Away.txt#@>
I was at the break wall, I was lookin' at the sea
In back of the eight ball in some misery
There on the horizon stood a mighty ship of fools
They were headin' into the harbor with all their broken rules
Whenever I'm feelin' lonely I can just pick up the phone
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way from home
Any way I can lose myself
Dawn is breakin', I'm hesitatin'
I'm fading away, fading away
They sailed right up to me, I said, "What's it all about
Please try to excuse me, we can work things out
If you've ever wondered if that mighty ship is real
Let me tell ya 'bout it, brother, it was somethin' you could feel"
Whenever I'm feelin' lonely, I let twilight set the tone
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
They're better off to be someplace, that's a good long way to roam
Ain't livin' high on the hog right now
Dawn is breakin', I'm hesitatin'
I'm fading away, fading away
One more day on the calendar in my mind
I am down at the break wall puttin' in some time
The whole ship of fools has gotten safely under way
And I was proud to be a part of what it was they had to say
Whenever I'm feelin' lonely I can just pick up the phone
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long piece from home
Any way I can lose myself
Dawn is breakin', I'm hesitatin'
I'm fading away, fading away
Fading away, fading away

Alone upon the sidewalks of despair, 'twas there she wandered with her
suitcase in her hand.
Her fate she pondered, only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care.
She met him on a night so rare when her friends were there and the band was
grooving.
When he gave a glance that said how much he would like to meet her,
How was she to know at the time he would mistreat her?
In her case she danced for him although a hundred eyes were turned her way,
And before the set was through he knew she would be his loved one.
Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care,
Only twenty-one, she was a young girl just in from somewhere.
He's playing up in Michigan with a group they call The Intended,
With a kiss, and a promise, he was gone, the song was ended.
But as she walks, she waits for him, the pavement is a shoulder for her tears,
But in her heart, she knows there is no way she can hope to change him.
Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care,
Only twenty-one, she was a young girl just in from somewhere,
Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care, a go-go girl in love.
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_Gotta_Get_Away.txt#@>
I'm on my way, got no time to waste
Places to go, people to chase
Gonna grab my comb 'n' my toothpaste
Gotta get away from here
Twenty-one years from the day I was born
I was workin' on the night shift, tootin' my horn
Through sheets of rain, through sleet and storm
You come to me
You were the girls with the summer sunshine
In your eyes and in your smile
You were the one I thought, I thought loved me
It was somethin' I never could quite believe
Gotta get away from here
I'm a real bad loser, that's what I am
Gonna grab my hat and my hexagram
You can stick my money in an old tin can
I think I fell in love again
I was down by the bus stop, bidin' my time
I was hitchin' a ride with a friend of mine
I was almost gone, I was over the line
I said what's come over me
You were the girl with the sound of springtime
In your songs and in your voice
You were the one I thought, loved me
It was somethin' I never could quite believe
Gotta get away from here, gotta get back to you
I'm gonna make it today, I'm gonna get on my toes
Been awake so long, I'm getting ready to doze
Gonna grab my bag and a few old clothes
Gotta get away from here, gotta get back to you
Gotta get away, gotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get away

With a lady-like devotion
She sails the bitter ocean
If it wasn't for lovesick sailors
There'd be nothin' left but flotsam
Singin' why me oh my
Is there a better man than I
I hope you find your way back home
Before you're lyin' high and dry
I hope you find your way back home
Before you die
Her sails billow like bubbles
While you sip your daily doubles
If she wasn't so fond of the weather
She might give the deckhands trouble
Singin' why me oh my
Is there a better man than I
I hope you find your way back home
Before you're lyin' high and dry
I hope you find your way back home
Before you die
One day when I grew older
I found I could not hold her
She took on a fine young skipper
Who'd sooner ram her up on a boulder
Singin' why me oh my
Is there a better man than I
I hope you find your way back home
Before you're lyin' high and dry
I hope you find your way back home
Before you die
Now the pleasures of the harbor
Don't include a lady barber
If it wasn't for Long John Silver
All of us pirates would've been martyrs
Singin' why me oh my
Is there a better man than I
I hope you find your way back home
Before you're lyin' high and dry
I hope you find your way back home
Before you're lyin' high and dry
I hope you find your way back home
Before you die

When I walk the hill so high
Around the town where I was born
New York seems so far away
Though I was there just yesterday
I have played on my guitar
In coffeehouses, hall and bars
Everyone that I call friend
Knows they will not be forgot
Trains and planes and rented cars
Singers, saints and other starts
I suspect them every one
They'll never change, it's too much fun
Just for now I'd like to rest
In the shade of a maple tree
To the blue Canadian sky
I'll say a prayer for the world out there
When I stand on my own sod
It feels so good to be home, by God
The winter wind has turned my head
But I always came up warm somehow
Bottles, beads and cigarettes
And lovers that I ain't found yet
Pickin' with a friend till dawn
And singing all of those hi'way songs
Just for now I'd like to rest
In the shade of a maple tree
To the blue Canadian sky
I'll say a prayer for the world out there
When I walk the hill so high
Around the town where I was born
New York seems so far away
Though I was there just yesterday
I would travel all my life
If loneliness was not the price
While headin' north across that line's
The only time I'm flyin'
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_If_It_Should_Please_You.txt#@>
If it should please you, I have come to play
A glad or a sad tune, I wrote along the way
And a few good songs about the old highway
I been around so long, Lord, I guess, I'm here to stay
So I'm itching to please you with a topical song
And a few golden oldies and a little hoedown
And I think, I know how to make you feel
We're one and the same now like a big flywheel
I have seen the best of all those things you can't explain
Wanderlust, I did not trust but I never did complain
So if it should please you, put away those blues
Just settle on back now, I'll do my licks for you
It's my own way and that's the way it goes
You're a real good reason for a real good show
I have seen the best of all those things you don't forget
Wanderlust, I did not trust and I ain't been done in yet
So if you got the dead end of the dealing shoe
This is your last chance, man, we belong to you
It's my own way and that's the way I feel
We're one and the same now like a big flywheel
So if it should please you, I have come to play
A glad or a sad tune, I wrote along the way
And a few good songs about the old highway
I been around so long, Lord, I guess, I'm here to stay
We're one and the same now, let's take it away
We're gonna take it real easy, let's take it away
We're gonna take it real easy, take it away
We're gonna take it real easy

If you want to know the reasons for
The things I feel inside
You can run away and hide if you want to
But if you need me
Show me a way to get through
'Cause I've not see anyone like you
Since I was a man
If you want to know for certain
What is written in my soul
Where my wildest dreams unfold
Like an endless stream
If you need me
Show me a way to walk tall
'Cause I'd not seen anything at all
Until I met you
Sun lights up the seasons
Blue eyes light up the night
If you want to know the meaning of
These feelings that's alright
I could be with you tonight
That's where I'd like to stay
If you need me
Show me a love that is true
'Cause I've not seen a woman like you
Since I was a man
If you want to know what magic lies
Beneath the willow blooms
In each corner of each room
Where my love has strayed
If you need me
Show me a way to walk tall
'Cause I'd not seen anything at all
Until I met you
If you need me
Show me a way to get through
'Cause I've not seen anything like you

<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_In_A_Windowpane.txt#@>
I looked into a windowpane
Last evening in a city far away
I was feelin' sad and blue
I wondered then if I should really stay
Wanting someone to be with me in the light of this uncertain time
Waiting by the window for the man inside
To please make up his mind
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Never knowing never feeling anything
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
I walked along the roadway to a fountain
Where lovers come to meet
A hobo walked up to me, I could tell
He didn't have enough to eat
He said, "good sir you look so kind
And though the years have stripped me to the bone
It seems I am the better man
For in this place I've never walked alone
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Never knowing never feeling anything
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
"where will you be, my friendly, when your
Telephone ain't givin' out no calls
And when the seasons come to haunt you
Will you still find springtime in the fall
And when you're on your island
Will you wave at every ship that passes by
And will you feed a hungry man
I thank you, sir,
Now I'll just say goodbye"
Don't you be one who passed through but never saw
Never knowing never feeling anything
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw

Everybody's movin', movin' across the town,
The skyline grows and the cut of the clothes,
Is enough to turn you around.
Oh, oh the future is just an hour away,
And the hearts of youth are aflame,
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!
Fields are turnin', the bridges are burnin',
And the light turns night into day.
It's the time to stake it or make it or break it,
For the time flies quickly away.
Oh, oh it's the time to start makin' your mark,
And it's the time to get in the game!
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!
Upwards, outwards, all around,
They're reachin' for the sky.
The ribbons of highway and roads of steel,
It's a time to be alive!
Oh, oh, ain't no ragin' river that we can't cross,
Nor giant too tall to be slain,
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_Never_Too_Close.txt#@>
I remember when best friends were jealous lovers
Lyin' warm asleep beneath the covers
Dreaming of belonging to each other
And so we tried, never too close
Never too near, dyin' in time
And so we cried but that is alright
We meant no one no harm
I remember when best friends were no mistaken
Long before that freedom was forsaken
Learnin' 'bout all the good things
In the world worth believin'
And so we tried, never too close
Never too near, dyin' in time
And so we cried but that is alright
We meant no one no harm
I remember when jealous lovers would stick together
When the days were warm and the nights more tender
When the bonds of truth were not made to measure
And so we tried, never too close
Never too near, dyin' in time
And so we cried but that is alright
We meant no one no harm
Try, try as you will
Following dreams never fulfilled
And so we cried but that is alright
We meant no one no harm
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_Race_Among_The_Ruins.txt#@>
You think you had the last laugh
Now you know this can't be true
Even though the sun shines down upon you now
Sometimes you must feel blue
You make the best of each new day
You try not to be sad
Even though the sky falls down upon you
Call it midnight, feelin' bad
[Chorus: ]
When you wake up to the promise
Of your dream world comin' true
With one less friend to call on
Was it someone that I knew
Away you will go sailin'
In a race among the ruins
If you plan to face tomorrow
Do it soon
The road to love is littered
By the bones of other ones
Who by the magic of the moment
Were mysteriously undone
You try to understand it
But you never seem to find
Any kind of freedom comin' clean
Is just another state of mind
[Chorus: ]
So take the best of all that's left
You know this cannot last
Even though your mother was you maker
From her apron strings you pass
Just think about the fool
Who by his virtue can be found
In a most unusual situation
Playin' jester to the clown
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_Second_Cup_Of_Coffee.txt#@>
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day
I'm thinking of the lady who got lost along the way
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day
The room was filled with laughs as we danced the night away
But my sleep was filled with dreaming of the wrongs that I had done
And the gentle sweet reminder of a daughter and a son
Sitting alone, my friends have all gone home
You never know when they'll come droppin' in
Thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls
Too young to understand how love begins
I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the dawn
The radio is playin' a soft country song
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
I'll be reachin' for the bottle, Lord, before this day is done
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_Seven_Island_Suite.txt#@>
Seven islands to the high side of the bay, 'cross the bay
To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
We went walking on the high side of the bay on a chilly morn
And we saw how leaves had fallen on the beds where trees were born
Any man in his right mind could not fail to be made aware
Any woman with a gift of wisdom would not seek her answers there
Seven islands to the high side of the bay if you're looking west
To the sunset you can see it, all in fiery autumn dress
Anytime would be the right time to come up to your bed of boughs
Anybody with a wish to wander could not fail but to be aroused
Living high in the city, guess you think it's a pretty good way
You get to learn but when you get burned you got nothing to say
You seem to think because you got chicken to go you're in luck
Fortune will not find you in your mansion or your truck
Brothers will desert you when you're down and shit out of luck
Look around at the morning, guess you're doing the best you can
Surely you know that when you go nobody gives you a hand
Think of the air you're breathing in, think of the time you waste
Think of the right and wrong and consider the frown on your face
It's time you tried living on the high side of the bay, you need a rest
Any woman or a man with a wish to fade away could be so blessed
Fortune will not find you in your mansion turned to gold
Brothers will desert you when your nights turn long and cold
If you feel it you better believe it, you're gonna see it, so you really
know
It is rising like a feather, dipping and dancing from below
There's a new wave that is breaking in the wake of a passing ship
Every nation's gonna be shaken, put it together, don't let it slip
It's time you tried living on the high side of the bay, you need a rest
Any man or a woman with a wish to fade away could be so blessed
Seven islands to the high side of the bay, 'cross the bay
To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_Shes_Not_The_Same.txt#@>
Ah, the living ain't easy
With all of these false emotions
Too little devotion and I'm tired of just
Being alone, she's not the same
She's a son of a gun, she's a red hot flame
She lights the sun and conjures up the rain
Like any good gambler
I was chained to a wishing well
I keep wishing in vain, but listen friend
Don't look now, she's right behind you
Looking for someone to take her inside
It thrills her so, it's a rainbow ride
I'm a little uneasy
And there ain't much pride inside me
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you
It's too late now, she's not the same
She's a red hot kid, she's a crying shame
Anytime is the right time
To get on with a new tomorrow
But I could never let yesterday go
And when the falling rain makes me sad
She comes to me in the dreams I've had
In the morning light, in the dead of night
Ah, the loving ain't easy
I let it get the best of me
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you
It's too late now, she don't talk no more
She don't make me feel like she did before
There's too much wait and too much give and take
I'm a little uneasy
And there ain't much pride inside me
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you
It's too late now, she's not the same
It's too late now, she's not the same
It's too late now, she's not the same
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_Something_Very_Special.txt#@>
She was something very special to me
The kind of girl you'd like to see
In a movie or a rosary
She could be straight-laced or homespun
Or free and easy on the run
She could be meek and mild or full of fun
She liked country lanes and aeroplanes
And cigarettes would make her strange
And when she wanted you she made it plain
She would never say where she came from
It didn't seem that she had anyone
To answer to or dwell upon
She liked candlelight and good wine
And I would call her any time
Of day or night she didn't mind
The was nothing that I wouldn't do
To prove to her my love was true
And she gave to me a dream or two
There were times when she would never appear
For days and then she'd disappear
But now the days have turned to years
I was something she could use
Like a good friend or a pair of shoes
Or any kind of good news
Now the eastern sky is crimson and red
As I lie here in my lonely bed
And think about the things she said
She said darling there will come a day
When I must run far away
I will go my love and you must stay
She departed in the early spring
She didn't leave me anything
To follow or to find her
She was something very special to me
The kind of girl you'd like to see
In a movie or a rosary

Thirty five.
Well there was a boy from Arkansas who wouldn't listen to his Ma
When she told him that he should go to school.
Well He'd stay away in the afternoon, take a little walk and pretty soon
You'd find him at the local auction barn.
Well, he'd stand and listen carefully until at last he began to see
How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly,
Well, he said "Oh my, it's do or die, I've got to learn that auction cry,
Gonna make my mark and be an auctioneer."
Twenty-five dollar bid'ja, now, thirty dollar, thirty wudja make it thirty
Bidda onna thirty dollar thirty dollar wouldja gimme thirty, wouldja gimme
Thirty dollar bill? I gotta thirty dolla bidja, now, five, wouldja beedle onna
Thirty five biddle on a thirty five, thirty five? Who's gonna bitta the thirty
Five dollar bill?
Well the time went by and he did his best and all could see he did not jest.
He practiced calling bids both night and day
Till his pappy found him behind the barn just working up an awful storm
As he tried to imitate the auctioneer.
And his pop said "Son, we just can't stand to have a mediocre man
Selling things at auction using our good name.
Gonna send you off to auction school and then you'll be nobody's fool
And you can take your place among the best."
Thirty five dolla bidja now forty doller forty, wouldja megga forty bidya on a

I gotta forty dollar bidya now, five, wouldja biddle on a forty-five, bidgel

A forty-five, forty-five. Who's gunna bidda the forty-five dollar bill?
And from that boy that went to school there grew a man who played it cool,
He come back home a full fledged auctioneer.
And the people would come from miles around
Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound
That filled their hearts with such a happy cheer.
And his fame spread out from shore to shore, he'd all that he could do and
more,
He had to buy a plane to get around.
Well, now he's the best in all the land, let's pause and give that man a
Handcause he's the best of all the auctioneers
Forty-five dollar bidja now, fifty dollar fifty wouldja make it fifty biddle

Well I sold that hoss for fifty dollar bill!
<@#Gordon_Lightfoot_The_Gypsy.txt#@>
Step inside my tent, said she, "I'd like to read you palm"
Leave the dollar in the jar, this won't take very long
Leave the circus noise behind, close your eyes, relax your mind
I'll tell you, if you should quit now or if you should go on
Then I said, "Now what do ya see?"
She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
Where'll I go, what'll I be?
She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
She threw some sawdust in the air and her hands began to shake
She told me, the town where I was born, she almost knew the date
She lit a candle with her eyes and then she made the table rise
She took the dollar from the jar and then she guessed my weight
Then I said, "Now what do ya see?"
She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
You are so old, you are so wise
Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dy
Give me a sign, tell it to me
She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
Then she spoke most quietly
Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee
When you we a child at school they taught you quite a lot
You were told when you should speak and when you should not
You were taught to read and write, to take your lessons home at night
A little knowledge serves you well but the golden rule does not
Then I said, "Now what do ya see?"
She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
Where'll I go, what'll I be?
She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
Then when I came home that night to lie in bed awake
I thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had said
And now I see with due respect, the more we learn the worse we get
So if you feel you've no regrets, go have your fortune read
Then I said, "Now what do ya see?"
She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
You are so old, you are so wise
Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dy
Give me a sign, tell it to me
She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
Then she spoke most quietly
Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee
Where'll I go, what'll I be
She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
You are so old, you are so wise
Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dy
Give me a sign, tell it to me
She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"

I see a pear falling down from the tree
Winter is coming and it's plain to see
I spend the cold nights in my lonely room
Is it the winter to which I am doomed?
Cold is the snow that will cover the ground
I feel the presence of tears falling down
Is it for pity or vain that I cry?
Color is gone and the grass it must die
Winter brings sadness that empties my soul
Life is too short for a dog growing old
He used to follow and play at my heel
Love from his heart I no longer can feel

<@#Grateful_Dead_Black_Throated_Wind.txt#@>
Bringing me down,
I'm running aground
Blind in the light of the interstate cars.
Passing me by,
The buses and semis,
Plunging like stones from a slingshot on Mars.
But I'm here by the road,
Bound to the load
That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars.
Alone with the rush of the drivers who won't pick me up,
The highway, the moon, the clouds, and the stars.
The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in
With its words of a life where nothing is new.
Ah, Mother American Night, I'm lost from the light.
Oh, I'm drowning in you.
I left St. Louis, the City of Blues,
In the midst of a storm I'd rather forget.
I tried to pretend it came to an end
Cause you weren't the woman I thought I once met.
But I can't deny that times have gone by
When I never had doubts or thoughts of regret
And I was a man when all this began
Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet.
The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in.
And it speaks of a life that passes like dew.
It's forced me to see that you've done better by me,
Better by me than I've done by you.
What's to be found, racing around,
You carry your pain wherever you go.
Full of the blues and trying to lose
You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know.
So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies
Please help them to learn as well as to see
Capture a glance and make it a dance
Of looking at you looking at me.
The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in
With its words of a lie that could almost be true.
Ah, Mother American Night, here comes the light.
I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do
Goin back home that's what I'm gonna do
Turnin' around,
That's what I'm gonna do
'Cause you've done better by me
Than I've done by you

When I was just a little young boy,
Papa said "Son, you'll never get far,
I'll tell you the reason if you want to know,
'Cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go"
Well baby, baby wants a gold diamond ring
Wants it more than most any old thing
Well when I get those jelly roll blues
Why I'd go and get anything in this world for you.
Down to the jewelry store packing a gun,
Says "Wrap it up. I think I'll take this one"
"A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said
Dupree he said, "I'll pay this one off to you in lead"
Well you know son you just can't figure,
First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger
And it's no wonder your reason goes bad -
Jelly roll will drive you stone mad
Judge said "Son, this gonna cost you some time"
Dupree said "Judge, you know that crossed my mind"
Judge said "Fact it's gonna cost you your life"
Dupree said "Judge, you know that seems to me to be about right"
Well baby, baby's gonna lose her sweet man
Dupree come out with a losing hand
Baby's gonna weep it up for awhile
Then go on out and find another sweet man's
Gonna treat her with style
Judge said "Son, I know your baby well
But that's a secret I can't never tell"
Dupree said "Judge, well it's well understood,
And you got to admit that that sweet, sweet jelly's so good"
Well you know son you just can't figure,
First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger
And it's no wonder your reason goes bad,
Jelly roll will drive you stone mad
Same old story and I know it's been told,
Some like jelly jelly - some like gold
Many a man's done a terrible thing
Just to get baby that shiny diamond ring

Well, you got to have lovin' (good lovin')
Come on now and give me good lovin' (good lovin').
Well, I was feelin' sort of bad now,
Asked my family doctor 'bout what I had,
I said, "doctor, doctor, mister m.d.,
Can you tell me, what's ailing me?"
[Chorus]
Come on now, everybody get right, (got to have lovin)
You may be weak or you may be blind (got to have lovin')
But even a blind man knows when the sun is shining (got to have lovin')
So turn it on now (got to have lovin')
Turn on, turn on your light (got to have lovin').
Gimme, gimme, gimme some lovin' (good lovin')
Hey, now you got to have lovin' (good lovin')
You need it, I need it, well you got to have lovin' (good lovin')
Say it again now, good lovin'.
Well turn on your light, you won't regret it (good lovin')
You got to go for the good and get it (good lovin')
Everybody, they got to have lovin' (good lovin')
Hey, now you got to have lovin'.

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, can't buy a thrill
Well, I've been up all night, baby, leanin' on the window sill
Well, if I die on top of the hill
And if I don't make it, you know my baby will
Don't the moon look good, mama, shinin' through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the "Double E"?
Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me?
Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
I want to tell everybody, but I could not get across
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost

Cause I'm asking king bee, won't you be my queen
Now I'm a king bee rider, won't you be my queen
Because you know we can make some sweet little honey

Must admit you're kinda frightnin' but you really get me high
So exciting, when I hear your velvet thunder
You seem so near I start to wonder
Would you come closer if, if I asked you to?
So inviting, the way you're messing with my reason
It's an exception but it's pleasing
Tell me a lie and I will swear, I'll swear it's true
You're a loop of lazy lightnin'

If I had a gun for every ace I've drawn
I could arm a town the size of Abilene
Don't you push me baby cause I'm moaning low
You know I'm only in it for the gold
All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars
I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
You'll never find another honest man
Last fair deal in the country, sweet Suzy
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold money where your love is, baby
Before you let my deal go down
Don't you push me baby

I know a little something

Don't you touch hard liquor just
a cup of cold coffee
Gonna get up

Firefly, can you see me?
Shine on, glowing, brief and brightly
Could you imagine? one summer day,
That same night be on your way
Do you remember? Hearts were too cold
Seasons have frozen us into our souls
People were sayin' the whole world is burning
Ashes have scattered too hard to turn
Upside out or inside down
False alarm, the only game in town
No man's land, the only game in town
Terrible, the only game in town
Passenger, don't you hear me?
Destination seen unclearly.
What is a man deep down inside,
What a raging beast with nothing to hide.
Upside out or inside down
False alarm, the only game in town
No man's land, the only game in town
Terrible, the only game in town

Some folks up in tree tops, just to look to see the sights

I can tell your future, whoa just look what's in your hand
I can't stop for nothing, I'm just playing in the band

Standing on a tower, world at my command

Let him cast a stone at me for playing in the band
Playing, like a wave upon the sand

Gettin' lots of action, havin' lots of fun
Scorin' like a bandit till the bubble burst
Suddenly it got to be September first!
Woe is me.... All summer long I was happy and free
Save my soul, the board of education took away my parole
I gotta go back, back, back to school again
You won't find me, till the clock strikes three
I'm gonna be there till then
I gotta go back, back, back to school again
Whoa whoa, I gotta go, Back to School...... Again!
Geometry and History it's just a pain
Biology and Chemistry destroys my brain
don't they know that I deserve a better fate
I'm really much too young to matriculate
Mama please, your child's come down with a fatal disease
mama said: "C'mon you lazy bum and get your butt outta bed!"
You gotta go back, back, back to school again
It's bye bye fun, get your homework done, and better be in by ten
I gotta go back, back back to school again
Whoa whoa, I gotta go... Back to School..... Again!
I got my books together and I dragged my feet
And then I saw this angel boppin' down the street
I said hey pretty baby, "How's about a date?"
She said "I'm goin to school and I can't be late!"
I could see, the look in her eyes was sayin' follow me
And I was caught... I thought of playin' hooky but on second thought
I gotta go back, back, back to school again

Those peddle pushers with the black leather patches

Whoa - Freddy you see, you'll hold me in your arms someday (Freddy my love)

Many a truest word
Has been spoken by the Jester
Standing against the tide
Is the noblest of gestures
It's the little pearls of wisdom
That tumble from the light
That makes us laugh until we cry
Because we know that they are right
Within the strangest people
Truth can find the strangest home
So meet me in the village
Where all we idiots go
Bring on the Clowns
The Jokers and Buffoons
I've had the Time of my Life
And the Life of my Times
In the Company of Fools
I'm wading through the quicksand
In the gardens of the gentry
Blooming vacuity
Leaves mind and pockets empty
In the Social Order
I accept the bottom rung
Until the wine is pouring
And the Lord commands a song
Meet me at the staff door
When the posers all go home
We'll gather with the other Fools
And put on a proper show
So here's to the Poorest Poet
Who always pens the truth
Players Writers and Gypsies
The Minstrels and their tunes
I'd rather live an honest lifetime
With those with nothing to lose
Than waste a night
Knee deep in shite
That's polished slick
To look just right
I'd rather live a lifetime in the
Company of Fools
Within the strangest people
Truth can find the strangest home
So meet me in the village
Where all we idiots go

And he don't even know that you exist
Standing still when it's do or die

Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
And where will we all go when it's too late?
And don't look back
You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your father's rage and your mother's love
Made me the idiot America
It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burnin'
"It's not my burden"
It's not over before it's too late
She said "I can't take this place,
I'm leaving it behind"
Well she said "I can't take this town,
I'm leaving you tonight"
<@#Green_Day_Nightlife.txt#@>
Taking a ride to my old haunt
She's in my blood, I reside in my nightlife
My favorite color's candy apple, girl
And she resides in my mind and my nightlife
What's that I hear? You wanna go for a ride?
Don't be afraid, boy, to come inside
I got the thing that you want, the fix that you need
Chase this with a little lust and greed
I'll be the devil on your shoulder saying, hey boy, come on
My black heart beats crimson and clover?
Operator, operator patch my boy in
This is nightlife and I'll get under your skin
Taking a ride to my old haunt
She's in my blood, I reside in my nightlife
My favorite color's candy apple, girl
And she resides in my mind and my nightlife
What a thrill, heart beats fast
Sounds like love but you know it won't last
Cheap champagne stain on an even cheaper suit
Hope there's more in your pants than a bus route
Red velvet walls
Line the sugar-coated halls
Girls on your bar stools from late last calls
This town is filled with snakes, mistakes and whiskey shakes
It's too late I already cut the brakes
I'm rollin', strollin' into town
Is it me or am I going crazy?
This dirty city is my sugar town
My little angel of death is my nightlife
You better make a move before I get bored
If you wanna explore my vocal chord
Leave the girl a go-go dance in the cooch
One hand on my knee one hand on the hooch
Why don't you stick around for one more round?
This place is a circus and I know you'll be my clown
'Cause I'm a ring leader
I run the show
And only when I tell ya
Will it be time to go
Taking a ride to my old haunt
She's in my blood, I reside in my nightlife
My favorite color's candy apple, girl
And she resides in my mind and my nightlife
(Hey boy) She is my night life
(hey boy) She is my night life
(Haha hey boy) She is my night life
(See you later) She is my night life
<@#Green_Day_No_One_Knows.txt#@>
Why should my fun have to end?
For me it's only the beginning
I see my friends begin to age
A short countdown to their end
Call me irresponsible
Call me habitual
But when you think of me
Do you fill your head with schemes
Better think again
Cause no one knows
I don't want to cause no harm
But sometimes my actions hurt
Is there something I should find
To make plans for forever
Does it seem like all your memories fade
You soak up knowledge to fill the space
And still my answer remains...
I don't know.
<@#Green_Day_Private_Ale.txt#@>
I wander down these streets all by myself
Think of my future now
I just don't know
I don't see to care
I stop to notice that
I'm by your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there
Because I feel so right
Let my imagination go
Until you're in my sight
And through my veins
Temptation flows
So I sit down here on the hard concrete
Think of my future now
I just don't know
I don't seem to care
So I sit across the street from your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there
<@#Green_Day_Pulling_Teeth.txt#@>
I'm all busted up
Broken bones and nasty cuts
Accidents will happen
But this time I can't get up
She comes to check on me
Making sure I'm on my knees
After all she's the one
Who put me in this state
Is she ultra violent?
Is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
Before she does it all over again
Oh God, she's killing me!!!
For now I lie around
Hell that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true
Is she ultra violent?
Is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
Before she does it all over again
Oh God, she's killing me!!!
Looking out my window for someone that's passing by
No one knows I'm locked in here
All I do is cry
For now I lie around
Hell that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true
<@#Green_Day_Strangeland.txt#@>
Looking at the clouds in the sky
Floating image in my mind
Land of beauty and land of peace
Now I wonder where this place is from
The evidence is everywhere
I start to run, now I'm scared
Strange beings all around
Come everyone to this place I've found
I'm feeling psyched to be walking
I wonder why
All my joys could be open
No more cries
My eyes are clear and now I'm cured
Don't you wanna be for sure?
I know my rights I'm allowed to die
So I'd rather swap your different guise
It's in my head if you will find
Mother love from all mankind
You look above and then you shout
No other way to say your head is alright
Feeling psyched to be walking
I wonder why
All my joys could be open
No more cries
I'm feeling psyched to be walking
I wonder why
All my joys could be open
No more cries

[Originally by Survivor]
Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all in the eye of the tiger
Rising up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all in the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

I use to be the nigga wit the dimes, now I'm on the grind wit the 4's and the

A nigga got a get the whole thing, 19.5 every time my phone rang
I got so much clientele, black tee, black Gat and a pocket scale
So I can't go broke man, niggas know me as the Dope man's dope man

And these robbers trying to plot up, get his car shot up trying take a nigga

Got a plug in arizona but used to slang on the corner
Got a chocolate nerdy lookin chick a ryder like wynona

You are not the owner of that car that is a loaner

I got half a million on my neck come try me if you wanna
Keep a shooter with a chopper turn you to a organ donor
Chorus x2
Verse 2
My flow so skitzofrantic that I think I need a straightjacket,
Straight drop dope flow put me in a crack baggie
Old school like a 1960 cadillac
Real well known in every hood that's why these nigga's swagga jackin'
You're not in my league nowhere close to my tax bracket
Brick squad charm bout the same size of a tennis racket
Thirty round tone in my jeans got my pants saggin
Let yo girlfriend give me becky now the bitch braggin
Rims to the white chain to watch hat to the shoes matchin'
Since I'm Gucci Mane might as well buy her some new glasses
Everybody still lookin at me when my vette passing
Brick squad ceo I guarentee the check cashes
Chorus x2
Verse 3
Six stoves in my house and everybody cooking
Ferrari pass by damn everybody looking
A couple million dollars and I'm still straight crooked
You might had the game on hold but I took it
I'm hoppin out the drop lambo like a kangaroo
Gucci brick squad ceo but tell me who the fuck is you
Like simon says yo' big sister do what I tell her to
I take risks from the bubble kush and then you know I sell it too
Milatary rifles you would think I was a ex-marine
Sk, street sweeper, mac 90 or m16
No I'm not a fighter or a lover I am just a shooter
So if you disrespect my squad I'm a have to shoot ya'

Take me closer to you,
Push you in your finite,
Smoke in big pic session,
Lurched in broken promise.
Silence is pretty, finding the city.
Know your disguise above the surprise.
Cheap line flights and jet sky,
Pitch like the royal bastard,
Closed present, I may taste it,
Closer than I may wasted.
Silence is pretty, finding the city.
Know your disguise above the surprise.
Silence is pretty, finding the city.
Know your disguise above the
Surprise your eyes
Above the surprise your eyes

Do you suppose she could change your life?
If she could then I wish she would
Do you suppose she could save my life?
If she could then I think she should
It's another busy day for the cut-out witch
Silver threads for our heads need another stitch
Golden needles in our eyes then we realize
It's another busy day for the cut out witch
And could she change this wrong into a right?
Say pretty please and I think she might
Cause if she won't then you'll fall and bust
And turn to dust and so I think she must
It's another busy day for the cut-out witch
Silver threads for our heads need another stitch

Tower to the skies
An academy of lies
And what goes up
Surely must come down
And we felt the mighty blow-up
With the walls coming down
Or something like that
most of us are quite pleased
With the same old song
And all of a sudden I'm relatively sane
With everything to lose and nothing to gain
Or something like that
man of wisdom and man of compromise
Man of weak flesh in an armored disguise
All fall down
"if it's right you can tell" echos myron like a siren
With endurance like the liberty bell
And he tells you of the dreamers
But he's cracked up like the road
And he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load
And we're finally here and shit yeah it's cool
And shouldn't it be - or something like that
<@#Guided_By_Voices_She_Wants_To_Know.txt#@>
She wants to know which way the wind blows
And which way to go, I'm never gonna tell her
And she wants to know why I'm been hiding myself out on the road alone
Where no one knows my number
She wants to know why I can't take it slow
And why I can't settle down, but I'm never gonna burn out
She wants to know why I've been lyin' to myself -- playing a loser's game
Fightin' a losin' battle
Far away, that's where I'll be
Shine a light down hard on me
[She wants to know which way the wind blows

The lessons make you lame, boy

Everywhere that you go, I'm with you now

I am an earthworm following
There is a nighthawk watching
me crawling
La la la la -
it's a lonely night
I'll take the airwaves home tonight
crawl with me in to the hole
Where everyone can hide
We're in the wormhole
Seeking to be safe again
Without a single brave soul
Leaking out tonight
After the fires there's a falling rain
Washing us free of the daily pain
Off the hook and down the drain
And out to the other side
To where the soil is rich and muddy in the riverbed
Feed on the urgent promise
Of the dead tonight

Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do
Ooh
Ooh
Well, it's late at night, and I'm all alone
And I can hear her boots as she's near her home
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do

Scratch, scratch, she's clawing at the door
Whoa, no, I can't take it anymore
Crack, crack I'm feeling so sore
I never should asked for black leather
Black leather
Ooh, black leather
Ow black leather
And you can try to hide, but you won't get far
You can let her in, and you'll start it again
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folks say
But every time I'd see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
Guess I'd have more fun
Oh no, no, no, no, no
The Catcher in the Rye again ooh
Won't let ya get away from him
It's just another day like today
You decide
'Cause I don't have to
Then they'll find
And I won't ask you
At anytime
Or long hereafter
If the cold's outside
As I'm imagining
It to be
Oh no

Won't let ya get away from him
It's just another day like today
When all is said and done
We're not the only ones

That's what the young folks say
But every time I'd see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
It's what used to be's not there for me
And ought to find someone that belongs insane like I do
Oh no
Not at all [Repeat]
On an ordinary day
Not in an ordinary way
All at once the song I heard
No longer wouldn't play for anybody
Or anyone
That needed comfort from somebody
Needed comfort from someone who cared
To be
Not like you
And unlike me
And then then voices ran away
From me
So now you set the wheels in motion
It haunts our memories
You were the instrument
You were the one
How a body took a body
And Gave that boy a gun
You took our innocence
Beyond our stares
Sometimes the only thing
You got at all
When no one else is there
<@#Guns_N_Roses_Estranged.txt#@>
When you're talkin' to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)
So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
One, two
Old at heart but I'm only twenty eight
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart
I don't know how you're s'posed to find me lately
An what more could you ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me
Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out
Still talkin' to myself
And nobody's home
(Alone)
So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for
Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die
I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it through, this time - oh this time
Without you
I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die
<@#Guns_N_Roses_Just_Another_Sunday.txt#@>
I know you've been dreaming 'bout the times in our lives
But I've been screaming in my bed late at night
A space a little, little and your stack of pain
Makes it grip that skull, to me child that you'll stay
You've been in my life so long, can I get through to you
I touch you eyes and it shades my life blue
There's something I need to say before it's to late
But I won't hold you back, while I'm begging you to stay
Just another Sunday
Just another Sunday
Oh yaaa, just another Sunday
Just another Sunday, oh yaaa
There's too many games in a day for a simple man to face
That desperate moment in your life where you can't be afraid
Don't think your second chance will break around the bend
Cause hearts don't always share love, or the person on the other
End
You've been in my life so long, can I get through to you
I touch you eyes and it shades my life blue
There's something I need to say before it's to late
But I won't hold you back, while I'm begging you to stay ya
Just another Sunday yaa
Just another Sunday oh baby
It's only one more Sunday
Just another Sunday, oh yaaa
Those are tickets for the same plane, bring it back to me
Cause felling the same pain makes half the luxery
Take a walk away won't end the carousel
But if walking away can bring you back, then I wish you well
You've been in my life so long, can I get through to you
I touch you eyes and it shades my life blue
There's something I need to say before it's to late
But I won't hold you back, while I'm begging you to stay
Just another Sunday yaa
Just another Sunday oh baby
It's only one more Sunday
Just another Sunday
It's just another Sunday
It's just another
Just another Sunday
Just another oh yaa

You got to say 'shee-it'
But don't forget to drop me a line
Bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for daddy's such a drag
You still stuff your mouth

I got a new rose, I got it good
Yes, I knew that I always would

See the sun, see the sunny skies
Don't get too close, it'll burn your eyes
Don't you run away that way
Come back another day

Well you can always find a place to go
If you can keep your sanity
They break down the doors
And they rape my rights but
They won't touch me
They scream and yell
And fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me
'Cause I got somethin'
I been buildin' up inside
For so fuckin' long
They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm fucking innocent
They won't break me
Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'
Sometimes it's harder to leave
And every time you think you know just what you're doin'
That's when your troubles exceed
They push me in a corner
Jest to get me to fight but
They won't touch me
They preach and yell
And fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me
'Cause I got somethin'
I been buildin' up inside
They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm innocent
They won't break me
Some people got a chip on their shoulder
And some would say it was me
But I didn't bey that fifth of whiskey
That you gave me
So I'd be quick to disagree
They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm innocent
They won't break me
They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm innocent

Suck me

When the world has stopped
An I think he's got somethin' to say
"You want to fuck with me? Don't fuck with me
'Cause I'm what you'll be, so don't fuck with me
If you had better sense
You'd step aside from the bad side of me
Don't fuck wit da bad side o' me
Stay way from the bad side o' me
Don't fuck wit da bad side"

Runnin' through the visions

Standin' on your own

Raise your glass to the good and the evil,
Lets drink to the salt of the earth.
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier,
Spare a thought for his back breaking work.
Say a prayer for his wife and his children,
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth.
And when I search a faceless crowd,
A swirling mass of gray and black and white.
They don't look real to me,
In fact, they look so strange.
Raise your glass to the hard working people,
Lets drink to the uncounted heads.
Lets think of the wandering millions,
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead.
Spare a thought for the stay at home voter,
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows.
And a parade of the gray suited grafters,
A choice of cancer or polio.
And when I search a faceless crowd,
A swirling mass of gray and black and white.
They don't look real to me,

You can hand me another bottle of whiskey baby
but you ain't seen the worst yet
Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun

who was out alnight, no I'm not the only one
And I ain't standing, never standing
in the shadow of your love
shadow of your love
shadow of your love

Wrote my changes helplessly
yeah but I got no regrets

No I ain't standing, never standing

But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her
Well, we made a stop in Albequerque
She must'a thought I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Lookin' so good I couldn't let her go
But I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her
<@#Guns_N_Roses_Used_To_Love_Her.txt#@>
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her, six feet under, and I can still hear her complain
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her, so I had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
She bitched so much. She drove me nuts, and now I'm happier this way
I used to love her, but I had to kill her, and I can still hear her complain
<@#HIM_Circle_Of_Fear.txt#@>
Heartache is knocking on her door
Shadows dance outside her window
Tears keep falling on the floor
As the world around her crumbles
If you want to save her
First you have to save yourself
If you want to free her from the hurt
Don't do it with your pain
If you want to see her smile again
Don't show her you're afraid
Because your circle of fear is the same
Love can be as cold as grave
A one-way ticket to endless sorrow
An empire of gentle hate
Today without tomorrow
It's the circle of regret
The circle of hate
The circle of death
Your circle of fear is the same
<@#HIM_Dead_Lovers_Lane.txt#@>
Despair has a face
And all these wounds remain unhealed
Blessed to kill and enslaved
Are all hearts around love's will
Thrilled to start all over again
Crawl down dead lover's lane,
The maze of memories stained
And suck the blood right out of my heart
Fear has a name
Written on unhallowed ground
With dead leaves
Those words never fail
To feed the hunger that dreams
Our needs beyond God's grasp
Crawl down dead lover's lane
The maze of memories stained
And suck the blood right out of my heart
Scream out love's name in vain
Embrace the pain again
And lose yourself alone in the dark
Dead lover's lane
Crawl down dead lover's lane,
The maze of memories stained
And suck the blood right out of my heart
Scream out love's name in vain
Embrace the pain again
And lose yourself alone in the dark
And suck the blood right out of my heart
Right out of my heart

Serpentine love's thighs wrap around me in search for death
Drenched in blood the adored and beloved will give in to'
Love in cold blood
Breathe me in sweet suffering
Love in cold blood
Put me out of my misery
Love's feline eyes in darkness shine on her web
Demonized with divine insight we draw our last breath
Darling take me home
To the castle made of skulls and bones
Sing me a song to remind me where I belong
In your arms, my love, in cold blood
<@#HIM_No_Love.txt#@>
Forever and ever!
Shadows grow taller,
And I'm sleeping on my scars
Lonely, I hold her
And crave for your warmth (And it hurts hard)
There's no love,
No love will be enough
For what I'm feeling
No love
No love will be the end
Of this dreaming of you
Hell is freezing over
And the light is long gone
And I wonder where you are
There's no love
No love will be enough,
For what I'm feeling
No love
No love will be the end
Of this dreaming of you
We're the stars
In the drawing of the flame
Making love to the rain
There's no love
No love will be enough,
For what I'm feeling
No love
No love will be the end
Of this dreaming of you
<@#HIM_Serpent_Ride.txt#@>
Upon the wings of a dream she rides
Oh, she comes to me, fills me with life
Towards the dark side of the moon, we glide
She sings me a tune on our way through the silvery starlight
I don't wont to wake up this time
I'm alive on this serpent ride
In the grace of our love we writhe in pain
Farther into the song I fall, mesmerized
A drop of her blood tastes like wine
I answer her call with a rhyme:
"That is not dead which can eternal lie
Yet with strange aeons death may die"
In your eyes lies the world where I don't wanna go
You said you'd changed, but I don't believe in miracles
Since you conquered my heart we've never been apart
One day we'll close our eyes, open them again
And discover each other
As I open up my eyes she greets me with a smile
From her wrists flows wine
<@#HIM_Shatter_Me_With_Hope.txt#@>
The girl who cried "Love, won't you come and play with me?"
You can be Cassandra, underneath the sword of Damocles
We'll tear this baby apart wise like Salomon
[Chorus]
Run, come shatter me now, shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in, bleed out all sorrows
Scream me a dream, untouched by shadows
Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now
Shatter me with hope
She'll be the witness to the repose of Evelyn
Push the needles into the of canticles of ecstasy
Turn to page forty three
And you'll know how I feel
[Chorus]
Swear on your heart's grave I'm wrong
And run like your life's depending on it
'Cause it is!
We'll tear this baby apart, wise like Solomon
Turn to page forty three, and you'll know how I feel
[Chorus]
Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now
Oh, you oh
Shatter me now shatter me now shatter me now
Oh, you oh
Scream me a dream
Shatter me now shatter me now shatter me now
Scream me a dream
(Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now)
<@#HIM_Sleepwalking_Past_Hope.txt#@>
I hid the keys to unlock love's heart
To hold you in my sweetest pain and suffering
Everything's unfair in our lust and war
Redemption beyond right and wrong
In our hearts love keeps sweet-talking to despair
And goes on sleepwalking past hope
All is lost in this war
And all we can do is to wail and weep to the saddest song
Sleepwalking past hope
I unlit the light to embrace the dark
To be near but not to turn into you my darling
Forever we're lost in our souls' storm
Reflections of each other's faults
I gave up long ago
Painting love with crimson flow
Ran out of blood and hope
So I paint you no more
My hell begins from the 10th and descends to the circle
Six hundred threescore and six
And from there I crawl beneath Lucifer's claws just for one last kiss
<@#HIM_This_Fortress_Of_Tears.txt#@>

I've built from my fears, for you
This fortress won't fall
I've built it strong, for you
No one can free you now
From the chains around your heart
Don't be afraid now
Just dive in this emptiness
And hold your breath on your way down
This fortress of tears
I've built from my fears, for you
This fortress won't fall
I've built it strong, for you
No one can hurt you now

We're still breathin'
This can't be love.
Baby we're tryin'
Shed a few tears more.
And we keep on waiting,
Just to get caught.
And we know this is exactly what we want.
We fear for the best and hope for the worst,
Too happy to be alive.
When love lies blessed and love lies cursed
(x2)
Now we feel it comin',
Peircing our hearts.
Fingers crossed and we're praying,
Nothing goes wrong.
And it's finally happenin',
Just a knock on our door.
Our hearts are beatin',
Oh it's just begun.

We fear for the best and hope for the worst,
Too happy to be alive.

Too happy to be alive.
We fear for the best and hope for the worst,
Too happy to be alive.
When love lies blessed and love lies cursed
Too happy to be alive.
Oh we fear for the best
Too happy to be alive
When love lies blessed and love lies cursed
Too happy to be alive.
Too happy, too happy, we're too happy to be alive.
Too happy. too happy. we're too happy to be alive.
Too happy. too happy. CAUSE we're too happy to be alive. oh my love

Come feed the beast within
My teeth cut through this grin
That the razors that can shred your heart apart
Feel my dark sound begin to wash away the sin
That made these bloodshot eyes start to spark
You tore the skin of day till light went dark
Now I've seen the side of my soul
Now I've found what I was searching for
Now I'll take you for a ride all the way to the world Behind these rotting,
holes
Let night pour through your veins
As my voice leaves these stains
Like the tears that never got to drop
Let me devour your pain
Till hurts to touch like crane
And the words become a roof to shelter us
My words become a roof to shelter us
Now I've seen the side of my soul
Now I've found what I was searching for
Now I'll take you for a ride all the way to the world Behind these rotting,

I, I instill in me
This world's pressuring
I, I, I can breathe
All the insanity

This world's pressuring

Ooh, cruelty is our song
Ooh, sins are sins to wash off

I won't let go off you
You are the one
And there's no regrets at all
You are the one
And there's no regrets at all
We've had our share of misfortune
We've had our blues
And God is not on our side
Yes it's true
We keep forgetting baby
The others too
There is no one who can take that away
From me and you
You are the one
And there's no regrets at all
You are the one
And there's no regrets at all

There's something strange happening in the neighborhood.
The strangest things you've ever seen.
They're all dressed up in their costumes and looking good.
Trick-or-treat it's Halloween! (Halloween?)
Halloween comes October thirty-one.
It's a creepy crawly night. (What Night?)
They're tricks and treats and fun for everyone.
Trick-or-treat it's Halloween (Halloween?)

By Geof Johnson
The very best part of Halloween
Is getting more candy than you've ever seen.
I've got my scariest costume on.
I scare myself when I'm all alone.
Sun goes down, I'm all dressed up,
I set out to try my luck.
Walkin' up and down the street,
I knock on the door and say...
Trick or treat, trick or treat, Give me something good to eat.
Trick or treat, trick or treat, Give me something good to eat.
The very first house is big and dark,...
Trick or treat, trick or treat, Give me something good to eat.
Trick or treat, trick or treat, Give me something good to eat.
The very next house is big and white,...
Trick or treat, trick or treat, Give me something good to eat.
Trick or treat, trick or treat, Give me something good to eat.
If you go out Halloween night,
I'll give you a tip that'll make it all right.
Smile at everyone that you meet.
Knock on the door and say...
Trick or treat, trick or treat, Give me something good to eat.
Trick or treat, trick or treat, Give me something good to eat.
<@#Hank_Snow_Among_My_Souvenirs.txt#@>
There's nothing left for me of days that used to be
There's just a memory among my souvenirs
Some letters tied in blue, a photograph or two
I see a rose from you among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest
And though they do their best to give me consolation
I count them all apart and as the teardrops start
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs
I count them all apart and as the teardrops start
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs
<@#Hank_Snow_Blue_Rose_Of_The_Rio.txt#@>
Blue rose of the Rio I can see her now
As she looked that day when I rode away through a golden dawn
It was there by the Rio that we made our vows
Then we kissed goodbye what a fool was I fore I traveled on
I should have known as we kissed such heaven as this could only be
Paradise's lost if it would tossed away so free
Must I wish for manana that will never come true
Blue rose of the Rio my answer is you
(I should have known)
<@#Hank_Snow_Blue_Side_Of_Lonesome.txt#@>
I'm calling to tell you it's over yes darling you're now free to go
You're saying you're sorry you hurt me but you hurt me much more than you know
You're asking me where this call comes from oh I hope that you won't interfere
In your new romance turns out a failure here's where you'll find me my dear
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops on a barstool not doing so well
The hands of the clock never alter for things never change in this place
There's no present no past and no future for the ones who have lost in love's
race
The hands of the clock
<@#Hank_Snow_Everytime_I_Love_Her.txt#@>
Diesel smoke climbin' to the clear blue sky I sit here wonderin' wanderin' why
I leave her everytime I love her
Green grass growin' by picket fence Lord I just don't make no sense
But I leave her everytime I love her
I guess it's just to my blood to roam I ain't never had no permanent home
So I leave her everytime I love her
I guess it's just knowin' that she'll be there
With her dark brown eyes and her yellow hair
And I love her Lord knows I love her
Though my mind's dis-satisfied just a hoppin' that big ole Mack and ride
And leave her everytime I love her
I guess it's just to my blood to roam I ain't never had no permanent home
So I leave her everytime I love her
One of these days I want to go back
To that yelllow haired girl and the tumble down shack
And never leave her all I do is love her
Well I guess to that I'll be content
Just to drivin' this track and sendin' home the rent
And leave her everytime I love her
Well I guess it's just to my blood to roam I ain't never had no permanent home
So I leave her everytime I love her
You guess it I really love her
<@#Hank_Snow_How_Big_Is_God.txt#@>
Though men may strife to go
Beyond the reap of space
To walk beyond the distance shining stars
This world's a room so small
Within my master's house
The open sky's but a portion of his yard
How big is God how big and wide is his domain
To try to tell these lips can only start
He's big enough to rule the mighty universe
Yet small enough to live within my heart
As winter chill may cause the tiny seed to fall
To lie asleep till wake by summer's rain
The heart grown cold will warm
And trod with life anew
The Master's touch will bring the glow again
How big is God
<@#Hank_Snow_Ill_Not_Forget_My_Mothers_Prayer.txt#@>
I never shall forget the day
I heard my dear old mother say
"I'm leaving now the old home dear,
remember Jack your mother's prayer".
She left me as the golden sun
behind the hill top it did hide,
And when I found that she had gone
I laid my guitar down and cried.
CHORUS
And now she's gone this world is drear,
I long to have dear mother here,
She's gone to join the angels there,
I'll not forget my mother's prayer.
The birds were still, no sound was made,
The organ sad but sweetly played,
As by her side we gathered there,
Our heads bowed down in silent prayer.
We laid here where the fragrant rose
was blooming o'er her lonely grave,
And now in answer to her prayer
I'll meet dear mother some sweet day.
CHORUS
And now she's gone this world is drear,
I long to have dear mother here,
She's gone to join the angels there,
I'll not forget my mother's prayer
<@#Hank_Snow_Ill_Ride_Back_To_Lonesome_Valley.txt#@>
My troublin' mind tonight is drifting
To a cottage far away
And as restless cattle wander
I can hear a sweet voice say.
"You are leaving, Jack, your darling
With a lonesome broken heart
But I'll wait in Lonesome Valley
Tho' we may be far apart. "
Yes, so well do I remember
Of the night we say goodbye
There were teardrops on your cheeks, dear
As I left your loving side.
But when round up time is over
Wheter skies are dark or fair
I'll ride back to Lonesome Valley
For I know I'll find you there.
You are my queen of Lonesome Valley
By your side I know no care
Nights out on the lonesome prairie
You have been my guiding star.
Soon my faithful paint I'll saddle
And beneath the western sky
I'll ride back to Lonesome Valley
And you'll be my blushing bride...
<@#Hank_Snow_In_The_Misty_Moonlight.txt#@>
In the misty moonlight by the flickering firelight
Any place is all right long as I'm with you
In a faraway land on the trophic sea sand
If your hand's in my hand I won't be blue
Way up on the mountain a way down in the valley
I know I'll be happy anyplace anywhere I don't care
In the misty moonlight by the flickering firelight
Any place is all right long as you are there
I could be happy in one little room with only a table and a chair
As happy as I'd be in a kingdom by the sea darling if you were there
I could be rich or I could be poor in fact if you were by my side
I could be anything in the whole wide world and I know I'll be satisfied
Way up on the mountain...

And the years that I've wasted Lord I've cried from my shame
But when I feel the glow of your love then I know
That I've done at least one thing that was good in my life.
Yes, I've done at least one thing that was good in my life
And with you I have one dream that will live through the night
And each day I will know as I watch our love grow
That I've done at least one thing that was good in my life.
When I think of the dreams I've let slip through my hands
And the years that I've wasted Lord I've cried from my shame
But then when I feel the glow of your sweet love then I know
That I've done at least one thing that was good in my life.
Yes, I've done at least one thing that was good in my life
And with you I have one dream that will live through the night
And each day I will know as I watch our love grow

<@#Hank_Snow_Lets_Pretend.txt#@>
On a quiet summer day long ago and far away
Two tiny tots their game of play did end,
As they gazed into the sky where the lazy clouds go by,
The little girl said let's just play pretend.
[Chorus]
Let's pretend those clouds are islands in the sky,
And let's pretend that we?re up there just you and I,
Let's pretend that no one knew where to find us in the blue,
Let's pretend our dreams come true as years go by.
Now today as long years fly
Do they wander side by side,
And do their dreams into the future wind,
Do they still recall the day when she turned to him to say,
Darling take my hand and let's pretend.
[Chorus]
Let's pretend those clouds are islands in the sky,
And let's pretend that we're up there just you and I,
Let's pretend that no one knew where to find us in the blue,
Let's pretend our dreams come true as years go by.

Moanin' my life slowly away
Sittin' here waitin' for the new commin' day
They try to cheer me as I trudge on my way
Moanin' for you
Can't seem to hide it and why should I try
Good Lord, he knows it up there in the sky
A million heartaches with your last goodbye
Left me moanin' for you
Work these poor fingers way down to the bone
When things seemed right my whole world went wrong
Then I found your letter, baby, sayin' so long
I've been moanin' for you
They find me alone at the close of the day
Countin' each petal from your rose bouquet
Guess I'll be here till eternity
Moanin' for you
This ole rockin' chair, I have rocked it apart
The last spark of flame in my fireplace is dark
But this old flame that's burnin' deep down in my heart
Keeps me moanin' for you
Work these poor fingers way down to the bone
When things seemed right my whole world went wrong
Then I found your letter, baby, sayin' so long
I've been moanin' for you
<@#Hank_Williams_A_Picture_From_Lifes_Other_Side.txt#@>
In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
Hang the scenes that're painted from life
There's pictures of love and of passion
And there's pictures of keys and of strife
There hung pictures of youth and of beauty
Of old age and a blushing young bride
They all hung on the wall but the saddest of all
Are the pictures from life's other side
Just a picture from life's other side
Someone has fell by the way
A life has gone out with the tide
That might have been happy some day
There's a poor old mother at home
She's watching and waiting alone
Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear
Just a picture from life's other side
The first scene is that of a gambler
Who had lost all of his money at play
And he drowses dead mother's ring from his finger
Which she wore long ago on her wedding day
It's his last earthly treasure but he stakes it
Then bows his head that his shame he might hide
But when they lifted his head they found he was dead
That's just a picture from life's other side
Now the last scene is that by the river
Of a heartbroken mother and baby
As the harbor lights shine and they shiver
On an outcast, soon no one will save
And yet she was once a true woman
She was somebody's darling and pride
God help her she leaps, oh there's no one to weep
It's just a picture from life's other side
<@#Hank_Williams_How_Can_You_Refuse_Him_Now.txt#@>
How can you refuse him now how can you refuse him now
How can you turn away from his side
With tears in his eyes on the cross there he died
How can you refuse Jesus now
There's a story old that has often been told of how our Saviour died
As they nailed his hands he cried they don't understand
As the blood flowed from his side
How can you refuse him now...
[ steel ]
As he hung there on the tree he prayed for you and me
There was no one his pain to ease
Before he died he faintly cried oh father forgive them please
How can you refuse him now...
<@#Hank_Williams_I_Just_Dont_Like_This_Kind_Of_Living.txt#@>
I just don't like this kind of living
I'm tired of doing all the giving
I give my all and sit and yearn
And get no loving in return
And I just don't like this kind of living
Why do we stay together?
We always fuss and fight
You ain't never known to be wrong
And I ain't never been right
Tell me where you think we're going
'cause I ain't got no way of knowing
When things go wrong, you go your way
You leave me here to pay and pay
And I just don't like this kind of living
I just don't like the things you're doing
Your evil heart will be your ruin
When things start running smooth and free
You haul right off and you pick on me
And I just don't like this way of living
They say the road of love is long
It's rocky, and it's rough
But if this road don't start to get smooth
I've traveled it long enough
Why don't you act a little older
And get that chip up off your shoulder?
I told you once
Now I'll tell you twice
You better start to treat me nice
'cause I just don't like this way of living
<@#Hank_Williams_I_Wish_I_Had_A_Nickel.txt#@>
They tell me little darlin',
That to morrow you'll be wed,
You thought that you would hurt me,
But you hurt yourself instead,
I'll always be the same old pal,
Just as in years gone by,
I'll just set back and watch you,
While you set alone and cry.
[Chorus]
Tears fallin' down your pretty cheeks,
Tears you cannot hide and tears you cannot keep,
They are tears of sorrow and tears of delight,
I wish I had a nickel, for every tear you shed last night.
I just dropped by to tell you that I wish you happiness,
I hope that you'll forgive me for intruding like this,
I hope my dear your happiness will follow through the years,
I'll just set back and watch you, while you shed those bitter tears.
[Chorus]
<@#Hank_Williams_Ill_Be_A_Bachelor_till_I_Die.txt#@>
I'll take you to the picture show and babe I'll hold your hand
I'll sit up in your parlor, let you cool me with your fan
I'll listen to your troubles and pet you when you cry
But get that marryin' out of your head, it'll be a bachelor 'til I die
I don't mind honky tonkin' 'round if that will bring you fun
But somehow I can't understand how one and one make one
I like to cuddle near you and listen to you lie
But get that marryin' out of your head, it'll be a bachelor 'til I die
Now if you want a helpmate, you're wastin' lots of time
'Cause I'm afraid of church bells, how they scare me when they chime
I've seen those married people just up and say goodbye
So get that marryin' out of your head, it'll be a bachelor 'til I die
This freedom's mighty precious in this land of liberty
I've seen what matrimony done to better men than me
I don't mind keepin' company with the apple of my eye
But keep that marryin' out of your head, it'll be a bachelor 'til I die
<@#Hank_Williams_Ive_Been_Down_That_Road_Before.txt#@>
Now friends if you'll just listen to me
You'll get some good hard earned advice
I don't aim to meddle in your business
Just trying to save ya an awful price
You see these teeth that I ain't got
And these knots on my bald head
I'll guaranty you boys I didn't get um'
There a lying home in bed
Now take the smart-aleck in any town
Of him folks want no part
He acts like his head was only
Made to hold his ears apart
Now he might not like what
I'm bout to say and my words
Might make him sore
But I'm just trying to be helpful
Cause I been down that road before
To bully folks and play mean tricks
Was once my pride and joy
Till one day I was toted home
And mama didn't know her little boy
My head was swelled up so doggone big
I couldn't get it through my front door
Now I ain't talking just ta hear myself
I been down that road before
A little fella about my size
Got tired of being pushed about
So he went to work and when he got through
He'd knocked everyone of my teeth out
One time to many I rubbed him wrong
And he even'd up the score
Now that's what happens when you
Get too big for your britches
I been down that road before
Now when you get to thinking your really smart
There's somebody smarter then you
And no matter how much you boast and brag
You can still learn a thing or two
Go get you some treatments just like I've had
And you wont hanker for more
I've really learned the meaning of living and loving
Cause I've been down that road before
Now the man that walks this rocky road
Usually gets just what he deserves
But he's just a helpless servant to
A master that he servers
Now I've learned to slow my temper down
And not to pick no scraps no more
Boys its a lot easier on the head and the eyes
Cause I've been down that road before.
<@#Hank_Williams_Jesus_Remembered_Me.txt#@>
I was all alone and drifting on a lonely sea of sin
Nothing but darkness, no sunshine within
I lifted my eyes, to the Lord in the sky
And Jesus remembered me
Jesus remembered me
And so He set me free
Once I was blinded, but now I can see
Glory to God, He remembered me
Now the sun is shining, I'm happy and free
No more sorrow, no troubles to see
I'm going home to glory, my savior to see
Glory to God, He remembered me
Jesus remembered me
And so He set me free
Once I was blinded, but now I can see
Glory to God, He remembered me
When He talked to his disciples at the sea of Galilee
He said He'd remember a mortal like me
I asked for his blessing down on my knees
And glory to God, He remembered me
<@#Hank_Williams_Jr._A_-_EEE.txt#@>
She's got soft finger tips and a warm red ruby lips. She 24 in the waist and
36 and 38.
She's is pretty as she can be and got a beautiful body,
And when she makes love to me I can't help but hollar A-Eee!
They say that I'm a crazy cajun always rantin' and a ravin'.
But they don't know what they're missing if they ain't never had her kissin'.
In the car or in the shower I'm thinkin' of every hour
And sometimes I get this urge to just hollar 'cause I love her.
I jumped up in a bar one night when I was feeling alright.
Let out a great big A-Eee and the sheriff said come with me.
Well he threw me into the jail I guess he didn't like my Louisiana yell,
But a man come and bailed me out and said in his mind there was no doubt.
That I could be a big star probably get myself a brand new car.
I says you mean your going to pay me just to hear me hollar A-eee!
Yes he said that's right son! We're gonna make a million.
So we went to Nashville town. I made a record and it played all around.
From then on they were Number 1, but I wasn't having no fun.
I miss my Cajun Baby and all that good A-eee!
So I went on back to Louisian' to find my girl and have a love again,
'cause after all she's the one you see that made it all happen to me.
She's my soul and inspiration and soon her love I'll be tasting.
Oh she's drivin' me crazy with all of her A-eee!
She's got soft finger tips and a warm red ruby lips.
Well she's 24 in the waste and 36 and 38
And she's as pretty as she can be. She's got a beautiful body
And that's all that matters to me. Me and my baby and A-eee!
<@#Hank_Williams_Jr._All_My_Rowdy_Friends.txt#@>
All my rowdy friends have settled down and it seems to be more in the laid
back songs.
Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud. Everybody just wants to go back home.
I myself have seen my wilder days and I have seen my name at the top of the
page,
But I need to find a friend just to run around. But no one wants to get high
on the town
And all my rowdy friends have settled down.
And I think I know what my father meant when he sang about a lost highway and
old George Jones I'm glad to see he's finally getting straight,
And Waylon staying home and loving Jesse more these days,
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud and all my rowdy friends have
settled down.
And the hang overs hurt more then they used to and corn bread and ice tea took
the place of pills and ninety-proof,
And it seems like none of us do things quite like we used to do
And nobody wants to get high on the town and all my rowdy friends have settled
down.
Yeah I think I know what my father meant when he sang about his lost highway
and Johnny Cash don't act like he did back in '68
And Kriss he is a movie star and he's moved off to L. A.
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud and all my rowdy friends have
settled down
Yeah me and my rowdy friends have rowdied on down.
<@#Hank_Williams_Jr._Cajun_Baby.txt#@>
Way down yonder in the bayou country in dear old Louisianne
That's where lives my Cajun baby, the fairest one in the land
Her teeth're white and pearly hair black as coal
Wouldn't trade my Cajun baby for the world's gold
Way down yonder in the bayou country in dear old Louisianne
My heart's been sad and lonely since the day I left her side
But today I got her letter said she'd be my Cajun bride
Gonna go and wed my Cajun baby and live by the old bayou
Eat a lotsa shrimp and crawfish ride around in my old pirogue
Way down yonder in the bayou country in dear old Louisianne
That's where lives my Cajun baby, the fairest one in the land
Her teeth're white and pearly hair black as coal
Wouldn't trade my Cajun baby for the world's gold
Way down yonder in the bayou country in dear old Louisianne
Before the sun goes down this evening, I'll be on my way
To see my Cajun baby and there I'm gonna stay
On a Saturday night we go dancin' and listen to the fiddle-o
Lord I got me a Cajun baby just a livin' and a lovin' by the old bayou
Way down yonder in the bayou country in dear old Louisianne
That's where lives my Cajun baby, the fairest one in the land
Her teeth're white and pearly hair black as coal
Wouldn't trade my Cajun baby for the world's gold
Way down yonder in the bayou country in dear old Louisianne

Hey man them ain't high heeled sneakers
And they sure don't look like cowboy boots
And that ain't rock and roll your playin
And it sure ain't country or rhythm and blues
Your singing a song about making love to your drummer
Well gay guitar pickers don't turn me on
And we don't all get in to Donna summers
Do you happen to know any old Hank Williams songs!
Cause you see I'm a dinosaur
I should have died out a long time before
Have Pitty on a dinosaur
Hand me my hat excuse me maam
But where's the door!
Used to be I had a lot of fun in the old hangout
We'd get stoned at the jukebox to stay out of fights
Now and then we'd light a little smoke
In the truck out back!
And a little old Jim Beam and we'd get right
And you know these flashing lights sure make me dizzy
And this disco's very strange to my ears
Looks like they turned the longhorn into a spaceship
And I'll be leaving just a soon as I finish this beer
Cause you see I'm a dinosaur
I should have died out a long time before
Have Pitty on a dinosaur
Hand me my hat excuse me mam
But where's the door!
Give us our hats
Excuse Me mam
Where the door!

He wears tall black boots
Has Porter Wagoner suits
Got a four wheeler, that's all wrong
Now his palace is a lot
On a rough, rocky top
And a bright red bobo on
He flies the red, white and blue
And I'm telling you
He knows how to honky tonk all night
When he pulls up in his truck
All the guys are out of luck
The girls know his reputation is fine
He's Don Juan D'Bubba
He's got a Spanish mother
But his daddy worked in a coal mine
He cooks squirrel hors d'oeuvres
And he only serves
The very cheapest supermarket wine
Now he's cool as a rule
He's nobody's fool
If there's a party
He's the first to be found
Don Juan D'Bubba
The hillbilly lover
Blue Ribbon country hound
He's a playboy true
And he pitches his woo
To a different girl every night
He's a practical joker
A smooth talkin' stroker
A real man if you want a fight
And when he gets on a roll
He puts on a show
Barnum and Bailey ain't never seen
He is fine and dandy
Handsome and handy
Bubba's in every country girl's dream
He's Don Juan D'Bubba
He's got a Spanish mother
But his daddy worked in a coal mine
He cooks you squirrel hors d'oeuvres
And he only serves
The very cheapest supermarket wine
Now he's cool as a rule
Nobody's fool
Make him the man you don't want to be around
Don Juan D'Bubba
The legendary lover
Blue Ribbon country hound

<@#Hank_Williams_Jr._Endless_Sleep.txt#@>
The night was black, rain falling down
Look for my baby, she's nowhere around
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone for evermore
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' in deep
Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep
Why did we quarrel, why did we fight
Why did I leave her alone tonight
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea
That's why my baby has gone from me
I looked at the sea
Ran in the water, heart full of fear
There in the breakers I saw her near
Reached for my darling, held her to me
Stole her away from the angry sea
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
You took your baby from me away
My heart cried out, she's mine to keep
I saved my baby from that endless sleep
Endless sleep
Endless sleep
Endless sleep
<@#Hank_Williams_Jr._Getting_Over_You.txt#@>
I sold my car to buy more wine
I hocked my watch, I've lost track of time
Days with you went by so fast now I'm trying to relive the past
You don't know what I've been through getting over you
I've tried to love other women but I can't
You've really made a mess out of what used to be a man
I thought I drowned the fire in others but you're still my only lover
You don't know what I've been through getting over you
Bridge:
I got some pills from a ol' doctor friend
The bottle said one every 12 hours for pain
But this pain I feel aint small that's why I took them one and all
It was something I had to do to get over you
No, the pain I feel ain't small
Lord I took them one and all
It was something I had to do to get over you
<@#Hank_Williams_Jr._Go_Girl_Go.txt#@>
Well the mustang pulled in a no parkin' zone
Out stepped a chic with legs to the bone
Alabama figure and a Tennessee smile
Louisiana walk that'll drive a man wild
Now go girl go... go girl go
It's quite a show, go girl go
When she goes to the party and she starts to dance
All the other girls they ain't gotta chance
Now go girl go... go girl go
It's quite a show, go girl go
Well the way she wiggles when she starts to walk
All the men want to do is talk
Now go girl go... go girl go
It's a hell of a show... go girl go
When she eased into my Cadillac
I gave her the look and she gave it right back
And now go girl go... go girl go
It's quite a show... go girl go
Alabama figure and a Tennessee smile
Louisiana walk that'll drive a man wild
Now go girl go... go girl go
It's quite a show... go girl go

Hamburger Steak Holiday Inn that's the kinda world that I live in
Play a different town most every night
Lovin' your woman write a new song that's my life
That's my life and I love it that's my life
There ain't nothin' else in the world above it
I see people all alone pickin' their guitars and singin' their songs
But I tell 'em forget it cause you can't fake it
If you're gonna make it you've gotta live it
I got a big bus with a tv and a bar
And a little room in the back for me and my ole guitar
Gotta stop and fuel up every five hundred miles
Give a picture to the waitress eat a little breakfast country style
That's my life and I love it...
We get home to Nashville on a Monday night
Record songs on Tuesday and on Wednesday take out the wife
But then on Thursday night it's back on the road
I don't care if it's Montana or down in Louisiana just as long as I go
That's my life and I love it...
<@#Hank_Williams_Jr._Hank_Hill_Is_The_King.txt#@>
He's got the whitest legs this side of Montana
Never seen a situation he couldn't handle
No he'll never give in and he always helps his friends
But the world today sure looks strange to him
His trade mark his big square grey glasses
He wears t-shirts he don't care about high fashion
When he plays his guitar, in his mind he's a star
I'm telling you Hank Hill is the king
Cause a hick is a hick (a hick is a hick)
And a dude is a dude (a dude is a dude)
A squirrel is a squirrel and a nut is a nut and I love his attitude
There's only one show that's worth a damn on the tube
Yeah he's my hero, a man I'd be proud to know
I'm telling you Hank Hill is the king
Now our kind of food is barbeque and steaks
We hate jet skis and beaches
We like fishing boats and lakes
Close as heaven I can go is watching hunting and fishing shows
And hanging out down at the hardware store
Now Texas that is one beautiful place
We don't have as many weirdos as New York and L. A,
We got our ideology and politics just right you see
He's our only hope, a man we'd be proud tp know
I'm telling you Hank Hill is the king
Cause a hick is a hick (a hick is a hick)
And a dude is a dude (a dude is a dude)
A freak is a freak and a nut is a nut and I love his attitude
There's only one show that's worth a damn on the tube
Yeah he's my hero, a man I'd be proud to know

Well lord I got 'em,

This city life has really got me down

Well lord I got em,
Got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.
I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm
And leave these honky tonk blues,
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got 'em,
I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.
When I get home to my Ma and Pa,
I know they're gonna lay down the law.
About the honky tonk blues,

Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kind a mad
I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world a live.
My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch
And I was livin'g high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born
I was only hatched.
Ev'rything's agin' me and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river I would prob'ly drown
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time
Are full of holes and nails
And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails.
I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright nohow
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
I could buy a Sunday suit and it would leave me broke
If it had two pair of pants I would burn the coat
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
If it was rainin' gold I wouldn't stand a chance
I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.

You go and get yourself a man that wants a fight

You start your jaws a waggin' and they never stop
You never shut your mouth until I blow my top

Now things have changed you'd rather fight than eat

I'm gonna do some ridin' on the midnight train
I'm taking evrything except my ball and chain

Fast cars and freedom
Trips to the island
Castles in Spain
Las Vegas card sharks
Blues men that blow french harps
But no strings to her heart
Just the arms of cocaine.
Yeah she likes to run
With us high riding cowboys
She says she feels a whole lot
More at home on the range
She can handle her feelings
In most all situations
She just can not handle
The arms of cocaine
Hey I'm just a rhymer
Writing down new phrases
Looking for ladies
Who know I'm subject to change
Content to believing
The songs I am singing.
Help her find her feelings
Help her break the chains of cocaine
Oh my lady is special
She's into my kind of music
She likes Jim Beam and water
Instead of champange
I like Levi's and leathers
Making love together
No more stormy weather
Since she broke the chains of cocaine
No more stormy weather
Since she broke the chains of cocaine

Just like a thousand others I passed her goin' my way
I just came to say goodbye why do I want to cry after all it's just another

That's just another door why can't I open it and go
If I told you what's in my heart I'm sure that you'd say no
It's just another town that won't miss me
You're just another girl that was kind enough to kiss me
My mind says walk away why does my heart say stay
After all it's just another town after all it's just another town

I like her just fine
She wants to tell me where to go
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to eat
And how loud I can chew
She even wants to tell me
What thoughts I oughta think
It used to drive me crazy
Till it drove me to drink
It takes a whole lot of liquor

That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor

But when I'm liquored up

Well shes such a pretty thing
You'd think shes heaven sent
She's the quarrelsome kind
Love's an argument
She could yell all day
She can scream all night
I just sit there smilin
As high as a kite
It takes a whole lot of liquor
To like her
That's why I drinking all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor
To like her
But when I'm liquored up
I like her just fine
This drinking buddy of mine
Said he met a girl
Said she was the meanest
Woman in the world
I saw her pretty picture
I said man your poking fun
Then the day I met her
I said pour me one
It takes a whole lot of liquor
To like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor
To like her
But when I'm liquored up
I like her just fine
You may look down your nose at me
Think I'm an old sorry
Son of a bean
The only way I'm giving up
My drinking glass is if I can
Find a way to get her off my back
Spoken: Your wife's on the phone.
Little brown jug upon my lips
Your saving our love
With every sip
It takes a whole lot of liquor
To like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor
To like her
But when I'm liquored up
I like her just fine
Every time I get sober
She drives me out of my mind
It takes a whole lot of liquor
To like her
But when I'm liquored up
I like her just fine
But when I'm liquored up
I like her just fine
But when I'm liquored up
Hell I love her

Lookin' for the girls to tumble
Up and down and all around the stage
But when the women start takin' their clothes off
Now we have got some strange laws
The most hypocritical thing around these days
'Cause where I live in Tennessee
Why an auto parts calender hey that's pornography
But go right down the road, read what the sign says
Naked women and beer we got it all in here
For your eyes and your ears
They show it all in the clear
Way up north and down south
Whoo, somebody shut my mouth
Now I ain't sayin' it's right
But I ain't sayin' it's wrong
But myself I enjoy the site
Of pretty girls dancin' to their songs
And it's been like that since way back when
From little Egypt to the Vegas strip
And when the music starts groovin'
And the girls start movin'
Ain't nothing gonna make 'em quit
Naked women and beer, we got it all in here
For your eyes and your ears
They show it all in the clear
Way up north and down south
Whoo, somebody shut my mouth
Nak-nak-nak-nak-nak-naked women

C'mon in out of the rain
We got the girls that will make you
Spend all your change

She Might be a married woman that needs a little more
Shes a outlaw woman, first of her kind

Started to play the blues!
Met this white boy little Hiram (Hank)
Took him in right under his wing

Could you please, "Show me"
"Show me"
"Show me, show me"
If I could play just like you
Why I'd give anything
Well he learned to play like the old man said he would
Little Hiram's got his name in Hollywood
I wish that Tee Tot could have stayed around
Then maybe Little Hiram would not have drowned
In all those things that does a boy
That wants to sing no good
Little Hiram's music's had a worldwide touch
And we all owe Mr. Rufus Payne so much
We got peanuts, fresh peanuts
Put your money in the tin cup
I can see them now with a big smile
Splittin' the days work up
Could you please, "Show me"
"Show me"
"Show me, show me"
If I could play just like you
Why I'd give anything
Yes, Mr. Payne and Hiram Hank loved each other so much

Back about eighteen and twenty-five I left Tennessee very much alive I never
would've made it through the Arkansas mud If I hadn't been riding on the
Tennessee Stud
Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I wrote a letter to my Uncle Spud And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud On a
Tennessee Stud The Tennessee Stud was long and lean The color of the sun and
his eyes were green He had the nerve and he had the blood There never was a
horse like Tennessee Stud
Drifted on down into no man's land Across the river called the Rio Grande
Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe Til I got me a skin full of silver and
gold
Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree We got in a fight over Tennessee Pulled
our guns and he fell with a thud And I rode away on a Tennessee Stud
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean The color of the sun and his eyes were
green He had the nerve and he had the blood There was never a horse like the
Tennessee Stud
I rode right back across Arkansas I whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa I
found that girl with the golden hair She was riding on a Tennessee Mare
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor Little horse colt playing round the door
I loved the girl with the golden hair And the Tennessee Stud loves the
Tennessee Mare
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean The color of the sun and his eyes were
green He had the nerve and he had the blood There was never a horse like the
Tennessee Stud

Too many lawyers in football
Baseballs gotta few
The pitcher got a million dollars
And the quarterback he got 2
Pitcher threw his arm away
And the quarterback burned his knee
And this they did so they could live the american dream
Now there are some preachers on tv with a suit and a tie and a vest
They want you to send your money to the lord but they give you their address
Cause all of your donations are completely tax free
God bless you all but most of all send your money
Do you really want it?
Do you really need it?
Ya gotta keep on grindin' just ta try ta keep it
Ya got no time for yourself ya got more ba roe jim beam
Your goin' crazy dreamin'
The american dream
Reagan is a cuttin' the budget makin' the democrats scream
Says we gotta control inflation quit spendin' our money on everything
But this years tax increase why its the biggest in history
Round and a round we go where we stop who knows
The american dream
Do you really want it?
Do you really need it?
Ya gotta keep on grindin' just ta try ta keep it
We got no time for ourselves ya got more ba roe jim beam
Your goin' crazy dreamin'

<@#Hank_Williams_Jr._The_Ride.txt#@>
Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery
Had my guitar on my back.
When a stranger stopped beside
Me in an antique cadillac.
He was dressed like nineteen fifty,
Half drunk and hollow eyed.
He said it's a long walk to Nashville, son would you like a ride?
I sat down in the front seat, he turned on the radio.
And them sad old songs coming out of them speakers,
Was solid country gold.
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale,
When he asked me for a light.
And I knew there was something strange about this ride.
Chorus:
He said "Drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sing,
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues,
Can you bend them guitar strings?
He said "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside,
'cause if you'rr big star bound let me warn ya it's a long hard ride. "
Then he cried just south of Nashville,
And he turned that car around.
He said "This is where you get off boy,
Because I'm going back to Alabam.
As I stepped out of that cadillac,
I said mister many thanks,
He said "you don't have to call me mister, mister,
The whole world called me hank.
Chorus 2x
If you're big star bound let me warn ya,
It's a long hard ride.

The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign
Just waitin' for the grass to turn green
The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark the hitchhiker's just waitin' for a

The lifetimer's waitin' for a prison break the beachcomber's waitin' for the

Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman to take her into rown
The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy to lay all his money down
You know everything comes to standstill nothing seems to make a turn
Worm must be waitin' for the early bird
Now I reckon the early bird's waitin' for the worm
Nobody wants to do nothin' just waitin' to get a finger in the pie
Waitin' for a call for a big quiz show or a waitin' for some rich uncle to die
Katy she's waitin' at the garden gate the moonshiner's waitin' at the still
The gambler's still waitin' for that Ace in the hole and I guess Jack's still

Everybody's waitin' for something but nothing seems to turn out right
Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin' and the burglar he's just waitin'

MINNI-HA-CHA
WRITERS HANK WILLIAMS, FRED ROSE, BETTIE WESTERGARD, TOMMY COLLINS
Minni-ha-cha was the name of the maid
That was old Kawliga's gal
The customer took far far away
But Kawliga's with her now
Minni-ha-cha
She left a trail for ol' wooden head to find
Now ol' Kawliga's with her all the time
She dropped her beads along the way
To make a trail for him
She knew if ol Kawliga stayed her life would be so grim
Minni-ha-cha
How she loved that poor ol' wooden head
The man of knotty pine with a face so red
Minni-ha-cha
Years have passed and now at last they got Papoose by the score
Kawliga beats his old tom tom while she sweeps the floor
Minni-ha-cha
She works her fingers to the bone
While ol' Kawliga sings an Indian song
Minni-ha-cha
Now you've heard the story about a wooden head affair
An Indian with a tomahawk and a maiden with the coal black hair
Minni-ha-cha
They're as happy as anyone can be
'Cause they're together and have a family

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothin' I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands
Lord what am I comin' to
I just keep moanin'
Moa-oanin' the blues.
I wrote a nice, long letter
Sayin' mama please come home
Your dad-ad-dy is lon-one-some
And all I [am] do is moan,
I been lovin' that gal for so doggone long
I can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must of been wrong
'Cause my head is startin' to bow
And now I'm moanin'
Moa-oanin' the blues.
If you want a good gal to stay around
You gotta treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town
And you'll almost lose your mind
Then you'll moanin' moa-oanin' the blues.
Aw! baby, baby, baby
Honey baby, please come home
Your dad-ad-dy is lon-one-some and all I do is moan
I promise you baby that I'll be good
And I'll never be bad no more
I'm sittin' here waitin' for you right now
To walk through that front door
Then I'll stop moanin' moa-oanin' the blues.

I'll never forget that sad, sad day
Darling, that you went away
You told me that our love was true
And then you left me lone and blue
Yes, I received your note today
Saying you'd come back and stay
Don't come back now, it is too late
My love for you has turned to hate
Don't come back now on your knees
Crying, "Take me back, please"
'Cause you can't mend my broken heart
Because it died while we were apart
Yes, I received your note today
Saying you'd come back and stay
Don't come back now, it is too late
My love for you has turned to hate

Oh my poor old heart is breakin'
'Cause my sweet love ain't round
Lord I think I'll start to ramble
Got to leave this weary town
This old place is way too lonely
'Cause my sweet love ain't around
On that train tonight I'm leavin'
And don't ask me where I'm bound
I can't stay here any longer
'Cause my sweet love ain't around

When I agree with you baby it makes you mad
And when I don't, it makes you sad
When I argue back you pack and leave
And when I don't you pout in grieve
There just ain't nobody knows what I go through
Will you please make up your mind, what you want me to do?
You say get out and I'd better stay gone
Then you have a big policeman drag me back home
You holler good and loud put him in the calaboose
Then you cry and ask the judge, ?Won't you please turn him loose??
The good Lord only knows what I go through
Will you please make up your mind, what you want me to do?
My life with you baby has been one hard knock
Lord, my head looks like an old chop block
And I'll tell you right now honey that ain't all
You done kicked me till I feel like a used football
There just ain't nobody knows what I go through
Will you please make up your mind, what you want me to do?
You knock me down and then you pick me up
Honey do you have to love so doggone rough
I wish to my soul you'd slow down the pace
'Cause I tell you right now the hide's gettin' scarce
There just ain't nobody knows what I go through
Will you please make up your mind, what you want me to do?
Why when I married you, you were such a meek little thing
But honey among tigers, you'd be queen
If a poor little rabbit had you on his side
Every hound in the country would crawl off and hide
There just ain't nobody knows what I go through
Will you please make up your mind?
What in the confounded cat hair, you want me to do?
<@#Hank_Williams_WHY_SHOULD_I_CRY.txt#@>
Why should I cry? I never done you wrong
I kept my vows, you left me all alone
You told me you loved me, you told me a lie
Why should I pay? Tell me why should I cry?
You knew I worshiped you right from the start
Gave you my love, never thought that we'd part
You didn't care enough to even say goodbye
Why should I pay? Tell me why should I cry?
You know I miss you, now that you're gone
Life can be sad when you're livin' all alone
But, darlin', I'll forget you, your memory will die
Why should I pay? Tell me why should I cry?
<@#Hank_Williams_WHY_SHOULD_WE_TRY_ANYMORE.txt#@>
What's the use to deny we've been livin' a lie
That we should have admitted before
We were just victims of a half hearted love
So why should we try anymore?
The vows that we make are only to break
We drift like a wave from the shore
The kisses we steal we know are not real
So why should we try anymore?
The dreams that we knew can never come true
They're gone to return no more
False love like ours fades with the flowers
So why should we try anymore?
Our story?s so old, again has been told
On the past let's close the door
And smile, don't regret but live and forget
There's no use to try anymore

Gone stray we find ourselves
Right on the edge of falling apart
Don't you see it's in our ways
When something's done wrong, we just go along
It lights a fire inside of me
Just show me when this living stops
I am father and son
I am all that I fear
I can choose to give up
We could tear the world apart
Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
Cut the cord start to breathe
We're living life at frantic speed
Don the suit and ride the steed
With these shackles on you won't come to harm
I could be the worst of these
A sinking ship on the open sea
I am father and son
I am all that I fear
I can choose to give up
We could tear the world apart
Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
All on my own I'm trying
To change how you see and what you believe
To fight fire with fire and live eye for eye
We'll all end up blind and burning
Burning, burning
Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart

And now I know that I
I will never have to cry out

I ran into your best friend today
Twelve nights since you ran away
I asked about you and she said, can't say, can't say
I'm feeling lonely and it seems to stay
It's been a while since I felt that way
Well, I can tell you there's no room to play this game
All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?
Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're
Lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
I didn't mean to start the last big fight
You never should have hung up that night
All I want to do is make things right
Make it right
Listen, with all the choices that we chose to make
And all the promises we chose to break
We were busy making big mistakes yesterday
All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?
Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're
Lost without
I can tell you one thing
We're not better on our own
I'm tired of running from my feelings
Are you listening?
All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?
Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're

Somebody let me down
Somebody show me love
I wouldn't care much either way
I'd rather the sticks and stones
Than dragging the ball and chain
Of what if the world won't take me?
Even if the holes should crack
And even if the blood flows red
Nothing could be worse than numb
So, please, use me up
I just want anyone to use me up
'Cause no one ever does
Use me up
I've carried it all too long
The fear of the pain it brings
Feeling the panic building up
I'd rather the broken heart
Than live in the emptiness
Of what if the world won't save me?
Even if the bow should break
Even if the blood runs cold
Nothing could be worse than numb
Please, use me up
I just want anyone to use me up
'Cause no one ever does
Use me up

Treat me somewhat cruel
You can throw me away
As long as I feel it
Show me something real
You can deceive me
I am yours to use

Well, I just can't seem to pity
'Cause my heart's too numb to feel
And the smile does all the talking
Though the pain is all that's real
With the way that you keep screaming
I can hardly hear to think
And I feel the bridges burning
Underneath my feet
[Chorus]
Where do you go, oh
When you're gone?
Where do you go, oh
When you're gone?
Oh, how the road feels so long
But where do you go, oh
When you're gone?
I just want to stay dreaming
No, I just don't want to wake
Why can't we keep on sailing
Across this emerald lake?
My forehead is still bleeding
From the thorns I used to wear
And I'm left alone and beaten
For this cross I choose to bear
[Chorus]
Well, I finally found what I'm looking for
Though the road's still long and the light is still far
But I finally found what I'm looking for
Well, I finally found what I'm looking for
Though the road's still long and the light is still far
But I finally found what I'm looking for
Well, the voices fall like timber
And the fear it pours like rain
And my heart is crushed to cinders
Underneath this kind of pain
Well, there is no resolution
When the revolution's dead
So I'm left with no solution
For the voices in my head
[Chorus]

Got me wondering why

While you're on the breaking
Feel my spirit sinking
Got me wondering why
Just wondering why
With all the time you're wasting
Maybe you can just make up your mind
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide
You're driving me crazy baby
So you better decide
You better decide
There's nowhere
What it takes to see there's something wrong
You got me wondering why
Just wondering why
It was a sunny day but you brought all the rain
You got me wondering why
Just wondering why
With all the time you're wasting
Maybe you can just make up your mind
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide
You're driving me crazy baby

Me and the chief got slowly stoned
Me and the chief got soul to soul
Oh me and all the chiefs get slowly stoned
I like it and I want it and I just don't need to stop it
Cos me and all the rich got mobile homes, Holmes
Me and all the rich got mobile phones, Bones
God made it easy
God made it easy on me
God made it easy on me
God rains it E's
God rains it E's all on me
God made it E's all on me
[Chorus]
God made it easy
God made it easy on me
God made it easy on me
God rains it E's
God rains it E's all on me
God made it E's all on me

Son, I'm 30
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty
And I don't have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see yeah
I see it so I take it freely
And all the bad piss ugly things I feed me
I never help or give to the needy
Come on and see me
I had to crucify some brother today
And I don't dig what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice
I said dad you're shabby
You run around and groove like a baggy
You're only here just out of habit
All that's mine you might as well have it
You take ten feet back and then stab it
Spray it on and 'tag it
So sack on me
I can't stand the needy
Get around here if you're asking you're feeling
I had to crucify somebody today
And I don't dig what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice
So sack all the needy
I can't stand to leave it
You come around here and you put both your feet in
I had to crucify somebody today
And I don't dig what you gotta say
So go on and say it
I had to crucify some brother today
And I don't hear what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice

One day he was admiring his reflection
In his favorite mirror
When he realized all too clearly
What a freakin' old beasty man he was
Who is? you is, you is now son
I took to hiding, I took to hiding
I took to hiding, hiding strange things
I took to dribbling, we took to dribbing down my front
I starting running, I starting running on the spot
Picture, picture, now I'm gonna eat your
Picture, picture, now I'm gonna eat ya
We're all food, your cake
We're all the food, your weirdos' cream
Quick quick, fast fast, quick quick, fast fast
I took to dribbling, I took to dribbing down my front
You took to hiding, you took to hiding strange things
One day she was touching her reflection
In her favorite mirror
When she realized all to clearly
What a freakin' old weirdo she was
Who was? She was, she is
Fast fast, quick quick, quick quick, fast fast
She took to hiding, she took to hiding strange things
I took to dribbling, I took to dribbing down my front

Taunting from the hill tops, just out of reach
Smiling pretty smiles, telling your white lies
Stringing me along on your sweet promises
Humi you sure know how to Tantalize
You give yourself to those who don't deserve you
You go where you are not supposed to be
I know someday that I am going to have you
Someday you'll have to give yourself to me
Amandla, Amandla dancin in the distance, sayin I'll be free
Amandla, Amandla it's time to change your partner
it's time to dance with me
Amandla, Amandla you're hanging with the wrong crowd
You need a change of scene
Amandla, Amandla don't lose all your self-respect
You know just what I mean
Standin on Commissioner street, in the pouring rain
Tappin my toe, tappin my toe
This time I was so sure that you would be here
But once again you decided not to show
Amandla, Amandla dancin in the distance, sayin I'll be free
Amandla, Amandla it's time to change your partner
it's time to dance with me
Amandla, Amandla you're hanging with the wrong crowd
You need a change of scene
Amandla, Amandla don't lose all your self-respect
You know just what I mean
you're running with the fools,
You know Im more your style
Driving me crazy with that someday smile
Amandla, Amandla dancin in the distance, sayin I'll be free
Amandla, Amandla it's time to change your partner
it's time to dance with me
Amandla, Amandla you're hanging with the wrong crowd
You need a change of scene

Close your eyes
Rest your head on my shoulder and sleep
Close your eyes
And I will close mine
Close your eyes
Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep
Close your eyes
Oh this is divine

While we're here romancing it's love's holiday
And love will be our guide
Close your eyes
When you open them dear
I'll be near by your side
So won't you close your eyes

Done laid around and stayed around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
Done laid around and stayed around
This old town too long
And I feel like I want to travel on
I've waited here for almost a year
Waitin' for the sun to shine
Waitin' for the sun to shine
Hopin' you'd change your mind
Waited here for almost a year
Hoping you'd change your mind
Now I feel like I want to travel on
Well, the chili wind will soon begin
I'll be on my way
Gone a lonesome day
Going home to stay
Chili wind will soon begin
I'll be on my way
Because I feel like I want to travel on
Done laid around and stayed around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
Done laid around and stayed around
This old town too long
And I feel like I want to travel on

And the Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Wasn't that a bright Bethlehem morning
All around the glory manger
There in a stable she born him
Cold winter night
There in a stable she born him
Cold winter night
And there in a stable she born him
On a cold winter night
And sanctified the glory manger
And the Hallelujah Hallelujah
Wasn't that a bright Bethlehem morning
All around the glory manger
And all his pretty little fingers played in the straw
All his pretty little fingers played in the straw
And all his pretty little fingers played in the straw
That's what made the glory manger
And the Hallelujah Hallelujah
Wasn't that a bright Bethlehem morning
All around the glory manger

Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
Got to break that stone
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
Got to break that stone
Well, the moon still in the sky
An' the sleep still in you eye
But when you hear me sing
You better make dem hammers ring
Wake up and go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
Got to break that stone
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy

Well, you had a big time last night
And some of your heads are tight
But when I call this roll, please Lord
I don't want to miss a soul
So get up and go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
Got to break that stone
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
Got to break that stone
When you break dem one by one
But man you just begun
'Cause today, I tell you something new

So come on and go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
Got to break that stone
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy

Well, I tell you man, if you good

And don't tell me 'bout you sick

To night you better let them women rest
So you can get up and go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
Got to break that stone
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy

Here comes the doo doo, flying up the street
Running like the fire burning on his feet
Casting his eye left to the right
Looking for a place he can duck out of sight
Here come the goomba goomba, rumbling up the road
Looking for somebody to fill up the load
A big fat cat he had, get off the bag
Scooping up the striker, lest given him a whack
Come on boy, jump inside

<@#Harry_Belafonte_The_Fox.txt#@>
The fox went out to the chase one night
Prayed to the moon to give him light
He had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o town-o,
Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town
Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town
He ran 'til he came to a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in
Said a couple of you gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town o, town o, town o
Couple of you gonna grease my chin before I leave this town
Couple of you gonna grease my chin before I leave this town
He grabbed the grey goose by the neck
Throwed a duck across his back
He didn't amind with the quack, quack quack
And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o
Didn't amind with the quack, quack quack
And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o
Didn't amind with the quack, quack quack
And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o
Old mother Flipper Flapper jumped out of bed
Out of the window she cocked her head
Cryin' John, John the grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
John, John the grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o
John, John the grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o
Well, the fox he came to his own den
There were the little ones, eight, nine, ten
Saying Daddy you better go back again
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
Saying Daddy you better go back again
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town
Saying Daddy you better go back again
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town
Well, the fox and his wife without any strife
Cut up the goose with a carving knife
They never had such a supper in their life-acapo
<@#Harry_Belafonte_Those_Three_Are_On_My_Mind.txt#@>
I think of Andy in the cold wet clay
Those three are on my mind
With his comrades down beside him
On that brutal day
Those three are on my mind
There lies young James in his final pain
Those three are on my mind
So I ask the killers, "Can you see those three again?
Those three are on my mind"
I see dark eyed Michael
With his dark eyed bride
Those three are on my mind
And three proud mothers
Weeping side by side
Those three are on my mind
But I'm grieving yet
And for some the sky is bright
I cannot give up hoping
For a morning light
So I ask the killers, "Do you sleep at night?
Oh, those three are on my mind"
I see tin roof shanties
Where my brothers live
Those three are on my mind
And the little burnt out churches
Where they sing we forgive
Those three are on my mind
I know of Tom paints water tree
I know the price of liberty
Now I ask the question that is deep inside of me
Did they also burn the Courthouse
When they killed those three
Those three are on my mind
Those three are on my mind
Those three are on my mind

Lyrics:
It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in a New York cemetery
It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in a New York cemetery
Zombies from all parts of the Island
Some of them was a great Calypsonians
Although the season was Carnival
We get together in bacchanal
And they singing
Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
One female Zombie wouldn't behave
See how she jumping out of the grave
In one hand a quarter rum
In the other hand she knocking Congo drum
Believe singer start to make his rhyme
The Zombies are racking their bones in thyme
One bystander had this to say
T was a pleasure to see the Zombies break away
Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
I goin talk to Miss Brigit Bardot
And tell her miss Bardot take it slow
All the men think they're Casanova
When they see that she's bare foot all over
Even old men out into beaker
Find their hearts getting weaker and weaker
So I goin to ask her for your sake and mine
At least to wear her ear rings part at the time
Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
A lot of World leaders talkin bout war
And I'm afraid they're going too far
So it's up to us you and me
To put an end to Catastrophe
We must appeal to their goodness of heart
And ask them to breech in and please do their part
Cause if this Atomic war begin
They wont even have a part to breech in
Back to back, belly to belly-

Try me out and if you get excited

Wait and see, we might fit together
That would be my lucky day
Come by me, come love with me baby

Missed the saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

The sentimental sun in his teary sky
Says he doesn't want to shine today
You tell me to imagine myself with another lover
That's easy for you to say
The April that I knew with her cool soft rain
Has turned into a flowerless May
You tell me to go on with my life as if nothing's happened
That's easy for you to say
Maybe I should quote the letters that you wrote
I was your Mr. Right, if you recall
You tell me not to do it, but you're not going through it
I guess I'm not so right after all
The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
That's easy for you to say
The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
But the only one I caught just got away
It's easy for you, easy for you
It's all so easy for you to say

Ho ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me

It's beginning to look
A lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five
And ten glistening
Once again
With candy canes
And silver lanes aglow
It's beginning to look
A lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight
To see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair
Of hop along boots
And a pistol
That shoots
Is the wish
Of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk
And will go for a walk
Is the hope
Of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad
Can hardly
Wait for school
To start again
It's beginning to look
A lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree
In the Grand Hotel
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind
That doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look
A lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing
That will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of

There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing

And he was singin' this song to me

One year, ain't no time
They've got boys locked up in Angola, well
Servin' one year to ninety-nine
If I had a million dollars
Let me tell you what I'd do
I would buy (buy buy buy) the land around Angola
And plant a nice weed garden 'til the year 2002

I want water when I'm dry
I want my lover when I'm lonely
Give me a little heroin before I die
Throw in a little cocaine before I die

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning starts together
Proclaim thy holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth

Savin' money's hard when you can't save your soul
I'll get through it
Tryin' to dig myself out of this mighty hole

It's a part of livin'
Keepin' my feet on the ground while the world turns
It's all on me

<@#Harry_Connick,_Jr._Never_Young.txt#@>
I wish you could have lived my life
No way to know
The fun I had
I ride in limousines
But it means nothing
I roll down the tinted glass
To see outside
I like to see how much I pass
On my roller coaster ride
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
I wish you could have been right there
My future was the end of time
And all the girls I needed
Never knew me
I've fallen deep inside my well
Without a pail
And if you come to rescue me
I'll tell my fairy tale
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
What curtains fall
On childhood stages
That never rise
To show the crowd
Things I drag
Throughout the ages
Never seem
To speak out loud
I wish that you were here right now
I guess I passed my chance away
A pallid grey is mostly what I see now
I live my life
And never stop to
Close the doors
And all time I never thought
Of living yours
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
<@#Harry_Connick,_Jr._New_Orleans.txt#@>
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss her each night and day
I know I'm not wrong because the feeling's
Getting stronger the longer I stay away
Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi
Running in the spring
Moonlight on the bayous
Creole tunes fill the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And I'm wishin I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

Do you hear that whistle down the line?
I figure that it's engine number forty-nine
She's the only one that'll sound that way
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
See the old smoke risin 'round the bend
I reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend
Folks around these parts get the time of day
From the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
Here she comes
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hey Jim, you'd better get the rig
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
She's got a list of passengers that's pretty big
And they'll all want lifts to Brown's Hotel
'Cause of lots of them been travelin for quite a spell
All the way from Philadelphia
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
<@#Harry_Connick,_Jr._The_Blessed_Dawn_Of_Christmas_Day.txt#@>
The blessed dawn of Christmas day
As honestly as children pray
The warmth that melts the eve away
The holiness of afterglow
I rose to join the glorious morn
Whose calm and splendor would adorn
The virgin mother's infant born
The blessed dawn of Christmas day
The hearts of sinners reconciled
Amid the ancient morrow mild
Exalt the birth of Mary's child
The blessed dawn of Christmas day
I pray one day my heart will see
The light of God's eternity
And know that Jesus died for me
Now close, my eyes
So I may rise
At blessed dawn of Christmas day
<@#Harry_Connick,_Jr._To_See_You.txt#@>
When was I supposed to make my entrance
How was I to know I had a chance
Now here's a guy who really thought he had it all
My heart was holding up the wall so I could dance
The last of my romances has concluded
Wars I've lost and loved have thus been fair
The battle scars I've gained have all alluded
To a decorated soldier of despair
Baby I just had to see you
Your face, your smile
Baby I just had to see you
Just for a while
I ran from love to love and lied with laughter
Not knowing that at some point I'd collide
With someone who would be my ever after
And happily would stay here by my side
Baby I just had to see you
Your face, your smile
Baby I just had to see you
Just for a while
<@#Harry_Connick,_Jr._Try_A_Little_Tenderness.txt#@>
Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never never never never possess, yeah yeah
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)
It's not just sentimental, no no no
She has her grief and care, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah
You won't regret it, no no
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness, yeah
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is man, hold her where you want her
Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
Get to her drop drop
Just try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah
You got to know how to love her, man, you'll be surprised, man
You've got to squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave
You've got to hold her and rub her softly
Try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah
You've got to rub her gentle man, all you gotta do, no no
You've got to love her, squeeze her, don't tease her
Gotta drop nah nah nah drop
Try a little tenderness, yeah, watch her groove
You've gotta to know what to do, man
Take this advice
<@#Heart_All_I_Wanna_Do_Is_Make_Love_To_You.txt#@>
It was a rainy night when he came into sight
Standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat
So I pulled up along side and I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile so we drove for a while
I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain
Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight
Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night
All I want to do is make love to you
Say you will you want me too
All I want to do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to
So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well
We made magic that night. Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note
I told him I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden we planted a tree
Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
Just live in my memory, you'll always be there
All I want to do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All want to do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to
Oh, oooh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love
Then it happened one day, we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes
I said please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me
was the one little thing that you can
All I want to do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
Come on, say you will, you want me too
All I want to do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
Say you will, you want me too
All night long...

They walk into the lobby
The pack in black
Heads are turning
But they don't look back
They must be crazy
Not buying in
Why these outsiders
Get to shock and offend
They're bad animals - bad animals
Got to swim upstream got a rebel seed
Bad animals - bad animals
Got to push the grain or go insane
Out here on the frontline
Our territory is nighttime
We walk the jungle line
We stay alive
Bad, bad, bad boys and dangerous girls
Ain't got no prescription
They make their own styles
Typical family
Trying not to stare
Look a little closer now
If you dare, if you dare, if you dare
Bad animals - bad animals
Got to swim upstream got a rebel seed
Bad animals - bad animals
Got to push the grain or go insane
Out here on the frontline
Our territory is nighttime
We walk the jungle line
We stay alive
Bad animals - bad animals
Got to swim upstream got a rebel seed
Bad, bad, bad animals - bad animals

I knew a woman
Never knew no one like her
She said, "The world's made up of angels
Beautiful and fair"
She would give you anything
Just give it all away
Just for one true moment
Believing love would stay
You're a bright light girl
Shine into this world
Now you know your love is coming true
You're a bright light girl
In a disbelieving world
Now someone believes as much as you
And now you know he really loves you too
She opened up for trouble
And saw him come on strong
But when he could not meet her eyes
She thought she'd done it wrong
Each time love abused her
She would take the shame
Each time love would lose her
She would take the blame
No, you're a bright light girl
Shine into this world
Now you know your love is coming true
Bright light girl
In a disbelieving world
Now someone believes as much as you
And now you know he really loved you too
You never lost your magic vision
Always in your sight
Special intuition
Telling you, it's gonna be alright
Oh, yeah, you're a bright light girl
Shine into this world
Now you know your love is coming true
You're a bright light girl
In a disbelieving world
Now someone believes as much as you
And now somebody really loves you too
Come on, shine on
Shine on girl

Steamed up, blown up, stoked from below

And butters you up to buy her
Darling, she's just a flash in the pan.
Don't you want to cook with fire?

I want to give you whole thing
Yes, she gonna burn ya
She gonna make you a fool
But it'll learn ya

To let down and let myself be

Through the winder valley wild and through the darkest night
Here comes the evil news of the coming fight
So love bring your birds bring your feathers of peace
All through the storm let the tides release
Love bring your birds bring your feathers of peace
All through the storm let the tides release

Come on down lost angel find us now
From the clouds above right down to the ground
Come on down lost angel find us now

Too much too much of man
And stardust we will someday be again

You gotta get her off your mind
You can talk about your heartbreak to me
Ok, K.C. I wish it could be easy
Just another lesson of the heart
K.C.
We were feelin' out of place
So we made our own escape
In that New York cafe place to be
Outsider, traveler you and me
We were laughing about it
Kept us out of reach
I won't forget that night
I won't forget that light
Through the window and the lace
Making patterns on your face
Exposed with all your pain
I know it hurts the worst
That very first love mistake
You said we'll still be sitting
Here again someday,
Laughing at ourselves this way
After time has healed and made it right
We'll still be looking in each other's eyes
And through it all
It's friends who will survive
I won't forget that night
I won't forget that light
Through the window and the lace
Making patterns on your face
Exposed with pain
I know it hurts the worst
That very first love mistake
I won't forget that night
I won't forge that light
Through the window and the lace
Making patterns on your face
Exposed with all your pain
I know it hurts the worst
That very first love mistake
<@#Heart_Pennsylvania.txt#@>
I saw you standing on the street below
Outside my window surrounded by a glow
You were a young man troubled hadn't found its way
You were smiling, that's all you had to say
I thought I saw you
Pennsylvania
The streets were busy, the cafes and the bars
People laughing, the flash of cars
The neon tower like a fist up in the sky
All that power like a spit in heaven's eye
I thought I saw you
Pennsylvania
I thought I saw you
Pennsylvania
A bell is ringing in the courthouse square
Rusted angels floating everywhere
St. Michael singing to the spirits passing by
To blacked out windows and the silence there inside
I thought I heard you
Pennsylvania
I thought I saw you
The alley in the rain
The hotel by a train
The well known ghosts remain
Thought I felt you
You in Pennsylvania
<@#Heart_Rockin_Heaven_Down.txt#@>
Step into the light
Your on
Hook into the night
That look from eye to eye
A flash gets passed around
A band of wild angels
Rockin' heaven down
Roll, roll, roll
Roll out the soul
You get that feel
And everybody knows
You're moving their minds
Moving their minds around
Rockin' heaven
Rockin' heaven down
You step into the night
On your way back home
What a scene it was tonight
I'm so glad I'm not alone
That look in your eye
Makes me come unwound
Come on baby let's go
Rockin' heaven down
Roll, roll, roll
Roll out the soul
You get that feel
and everybody knows
You're moving their minds
Moving around
Rockin' heaven down
Rockin' heaven down
Rock me home
Rock me home

I'd like to know when you will say hello
When will it be I'd like to see you know
When will you change your mind and say hello?
Something is sending all sensations high
Someone is calling clearly to you now
Look for the one who will not say good-bye
Say Hello
Say Hello
Say Hello to all your secret light inside
Build up your Fire, take a ride I know
There'll be a night when you won't want to hide
Say Hello

You saved me

From the lovin'
You gave me
You went so far
Where my feelings are
Breathing heaven fire

I know you
You stopped running
You knew I had something
To show you
The fever tamed
Like an angel came
Made music of my name
Sweet darlin'
Early that morning we knew I had to fly
Engines were screaming and still I was asking myself why
High on the wind I was feeling my sweet darlin' cry
My heart was breaking
I closed my eyes
Darlin'
Can you hear me
We can't be wrong
The night's song
Pulls you near me
Time just falls
Distance small
I feel you all

Higher
It's what I expect from my life
It's like a wire
That holds me back down to the ground
Oh, I hear you say
"That is the way of the world"
No, hear what I say
"I want to do so much in my way"
Higher
I've set my limits and bounds
There's a fire
It's burning so hot in my head
Oh, I hear you say
"That is the way of the world"
No, hear what I say
"I want to do so much in my way"

We got
A little time to build up your lives
A little time to make up our minds
A little time to fill up our dreams
A little time, time

Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show, three to get ready
Now go cat, go but don't you

Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you wanna do
But, oh oh, honey, lay off of my shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off of my blue suede shoes
You can burn my house, you can steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
You can do anything that you wanna do
But, oh oh, honey, lay off of my blue suede shoes
You can do anything
But don't step on my blue suede shoes

Strong and invincible
They know every rule
Seems inconceivable
Anything they do
They made us their slaves
We weren't unified
Ever since we paid
For selling our lives
Someday, someway, I may see a wonderland
Don't you, won't you say that we''ll be free again
Deprived of our consciousness
We can't predict what's more
Can you remember how
Things used to be before?
I secretly dream
Of things we will be taught
Will someone esteem
For those who have fought?
(Solo)
Strong and invincible
They know every rule
Seems inconceivable
Anything they do
Deep in our hearts
We hope our dreams come true
The only thing is
What are we to do?
Won't you say it
Can't you feel it?

A lot of things occur each day
We've got to live with on our way
There's so much misery on the screen
With commercials in between
And the Russians won't be so late
Uncle Sam don't want to wait
No matter if you're black or white
You never ever had a right
And look up to the eternal skies
See warfare even there
What once has been a paradise
Now destruction and despair
In other worlds the children die
Lacking food ill from a fly
Oppressed by troops to tame their land
It's all the same again
If any man is free on earth
Then tormentors steal his birth
They slam gun butts in his face
And leave his woman choked in mace
So stand up for our human rights
Push back this pest of hate
Raise you voice pass on the light
Unite! it's not too late
[Chorus]
How many tears flow away
To become a sea of fears
How many hearts are torn apart
Till another torment starts
But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone
So stand up for our human rights
Push back this pest of hate
Raise you voice pass on the light
Unite! it's not too late
[Chorus]

Spent time taking all you could get
Even yourself was one thing you never could do, oh yeah

You played with my head
I've got to laugh when I think
All the things you said
'Cause I stole your love
Stole your love
Ain't never gonna let you go
I stole your love
Stole your love
I stole your love
You never stop running around
You pick me up and say you want some of me down
You were the girl that nobody could own
You stay for a while and then you would leave me alone
But I'm something different
Ain't like the rest
How does it feel
To find out your failing your test?
'Cause I stole your love

Ain't never gonna let you go

Make the people
Hold each other's hands
And fill their hearts with truth
You made up your mind
So do as divined
Put on your armour
Ragged after fights
Hold up your sword
You're leaving the light
Make yourself ready
For the lords of the dark
They'll watch your way
So be cautious, quiet and hark
You hear them whispering
In the crowns of the trees
You're whirling 'round
But your eyes don't agree
Will'o'the wisps
Misguiding your path
You can't throw a curse
Without takin' their wrath
Watch out for the seas of hatred and sin
Or all us people forget what we've been
Our only hope's your victory
Kill that Satan who won't let us be--kill!
[Chorus]
You're the Keeper of the Seven Keys
That lock up the seven seas
And the Seer of Visions said before he went blind
Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold
You can feel cold sweat
Running down your neck
And the dwarfs of falseness
Throw mud at your back
Guided by spells
Of the old Seer's hand
You're suffering pain
Only steel can stand
Stay well on your way and follow the sign
Fulfull your own promise and do what's divined
The seven seas are far away
Placed in the valley of dust heat and sway
[Chorus]
Throw the first key into the sea of hate
Throw the second key into the sea of fear
Throw the third key into the sea of senselessness
And make the people hold each other's hands
The fourth key belongs into the sea of greed
And the fifth into the sea of ignorance
Disease, disease, disease my friend
For this whole world's in devil's hand
Disease, disease, disease my friend
Throw the key or you may die
On a mound at the shore of the last sea
He is sitting, fixing your sight
With his high iron voice causing sickness
He is playing you out with delight
"Man who do you just think you are?
A silly bum with seven stars
Don't throw the key or you will see
Dimensions cruel as they can be"
Don't let him suck off your power
Throw the key...!
An earthquake, squirting fire, bursting ground
Satan's screaming, and earth swallowing him away!
You're the Keeper of the Seven Keys
You locked up the Seven Seas
And the Seer of Visions can now rest in peace
There ain't no more demons and no more disease
And mankind, live up, you're free again
Yes the tyrant is dead, he is gone, overthrown
You have given our souls back to light

We burn down the paradise
We're stoppin' good waves
We're losin' our trees
The future looks bright ahead
I don't wonder we'll go under in this river of lies
We're lost in this time--we create so fine
The future we already fear
Seems like no way out, seems like there's no doubt
The future looks bright ahead
We're the kids of the century--we're lost in our games
No time for the memories we look in the haze
We're the kids of the century it wasn't our fault
Everything's done mum, we fall
Let's keep on crying
But sometimes I don't want to fall
Everytime when you look around things will smile at you
Everytime when you turn around you smell the truth
But you run away from the lies you can't say
Don't run away from the lies you can't say
We're the kids

There's no fear for anything
Anything but you
Animals dying for our vanity
Our world is a beautiful place to be free
Drinking the blood of the weak, it's so easy
No one hears them cry
Here you cheat and there you lie
All that makes you gain
One day we will face His throne
There's nothin' we can say

It's the rainforest that dies
Here you laugh and there you cry
All that makes you move
Here you cheat and there you lie
All that makes you gain

And there's a murmur loud
From the appearing crowd
Searching for motives and reasons why
Now take a look at yourself and you'll see
What you are in the eyes of the world
You didn't want it but now he's dead
And you're on the run from the law
You're a murderer, in every town
Murderer, to the whole world
Murderer, you're on the run
Murderer, you'll have to kill again!
And like an animal which escaped from the cage
They're hunting you over their holy land
Traps waiting everywhere you fall in deep despair
Darkness and night your only friends
One day the chase will be over for you
And you'll find your own peace in the end
Some day you will find sanctuary
Death!But so long my friend!
You're a murderer, in every town
Murderer, to the whole world
Murderer, you're on the run
Murderer, you'll have to kill again!
You're a murderer, in every town
Murderer, to the whole world
Murderer, you're on the run
Murderer, you'll have to kill again!
Look for a safe place where no one will find you
And try to escape from the law
Wherever you are there's a killer behind you
Wanting to get you for sure
To lose the fear that one day he will get you
Be faster and kill him and run
Now you don't have to fear him no more
But in his place another headhunter will come
Run away!
<@#Helloween_Phantoms_Of_Death.txt#@>
There are phantoms here on earth who take away our lives
They kill your kids and they rape your wives
They rip your flesh tear your heart take you down to hell
They don't give a damn on any kind of life
Phantoms bring evil, destruction and death
Night after night the same old game
They all look so harmless but deep in their hearts
Satan is lurking, and he will break out
Always someone at your back only waiting to attack
[Chorus]
Phantoms of death, phantoms of death
The empire of deceivers is built upon your fear
You'll have to lose it 'cause the end is near
Warheads, armies stand to strike I know it isn't right
I want to get out of here I don't want to die
Infernal destruction of fire you'll burn
Then you'll be helpless but it's not too late
Stand up right now and you'll be the winner
Or Satan will get you, take you forever
Genocide everywhere, where's the Savior of this world
[Chorus]
Phantoms of death, phantoms of death
Where is he the promised savior the one who'll save the earth
Perhaps he'll come to bury us but then it'll be too late
Who are they who are the phantoms who will end our lives
It's you and me, you and me open up your eyes
Phantoms bring evil, destruction and death
Night after night the same old game
They all look so harmless but deep in their hearts
Satan is lurking, and he will break out
We are all parasites of this world we shall die
[Chorus]
Phantoms of death, phantoms of death
<@#Helloween_Reptile.txt#@>
Coming from the sewerage creepin' through the pipes
Born from modern chemistry a thing that is alive
Growing in this rotten crap at places no one wipes
Eating rats and stinking shit and all it needs to thrive
The scientists got no way to fight
For they can't find any weak point to get rid of it right
You live your life and you don't know what's goin' on
You just can't stop a thinking that the officials do you wrong
You're sometimes wondering what the hell bit your baby's arm
And the nuns at the holy mission can't keep the tramps from harm
Even thieves around dark corners too scared to leave the door
Frustrated businessmen needing a wank can't find themselves a whore
You won't believe 'till you know that it's real
From the pain in your stomach and the horror you feel
You need a shit so you head off to the loo
You're coming to the bog, now what you're gonna do !
[Chorus]
There's the Reptile (Reptile)
Just see his eyes
Reptile (Reptile)
Can you see the beast arise
[Chorus]
Reptile (Reptile)
Creeping up on you
Reptile (Reptile)
There's nothing left that you can do
[Chorus]
And there's the Reptile (Reptile)
Hidden till now
Reptile (Reptile)
But now it's there you don't know how
[Chorus]
Reptile (Reptile)
Just watch it grow
Reptile (Reptile)
And there's no more human being left but you
Oerrrps !

Born into a neighborhood that ain't exactly rich
Never knew his father and his mother was a bitch
Oh no
Didn't have a place to go
Grown up in the streets
He learned to take just what he needs
Violence and crime the only answer he believes
Oh no
Your emotions you don't show
How can you ever give up
When you never were scared?
How can you ever forgive
Without learning to blame?
See the night
That's where you're living
Feel the dark
That seems to follow you
See the stars
I see you crying
See the stars
You wished that one of them just shines for you
After you're gone
Unemployed and full of hate
You're dealing with cocaine
One day you will end up with a needle in your brain
Oh no
As you slowly go insane
How can you ever be good
When you don't see a reason?
How can you trust an old friend
When you don't even care for one?
See the night
That's where you're living
Feel the dark
That seems to follow you
See the stars
I see you crying
See the stars
You wished that one of them just shines for you
After you're gone
All you know is what you see
You see society is treating you bad
No more visions, no more hope
Your future is a cold, cold cell
I send you to hell
Falling so deep into darkness
Crawling so deep in the dark
Give me a chance to regret what I've done
Only if I can explain
See the night
That's where you're living
Feel the dark
That seems to follow you
See the stars
I see you crying
See the stars
You wished that one of them just shines for you
After you're gone

<@#Helloween_Silicon_Dreams.txt#@>
Daily in the news and on the screen
They want to show you how to look like
How to be a star
But if you big-nosed without muscles
You are not attractive
You don't fit in what's so popular
Four pounds too much without a suntang
Self-respect is fading
They already tooked away your pride
California dreamgirl with her brain down in her pussy
You will never reach her you're too small
Wake up all you idiots don't close your eyes
And see there is only one thing you can be
This is just you and nothing else
Start to believe all in yourself
Stop to running after visions you don't need
Who is in the mirror
Do you really trust this face
Smiles at you so bad and ugly
This is not yourself anymore
Will a soul feel well in plastic bodies
Where it don't belong
Silicon and lifted faces
Don't you really know who you are
Don't try to hide
If you don't look like monroe
The smile on your face this is real
Just be yourself that's the deal
California dream man
With a smile made out of plastic
Juicy woman dreams that you can buy
Selling you a dream so far away
And so fantastic until you realise you won't get high
Now you're close to suicide
Your dream bursts like a bubble
All the gossip you once liked is gone
Your addiction to be skinny is driving you to madness
I hope now you can see what you have done
<@#Helloween_Someones_Crying.txt#@>
What keeps on telling me to stay on the way I chose
What keeps on giving me all the strength to carry on
Give me some time, can't sleep anymore at night
I want to show I'm here with an aim of mine
I feel strong, but someone is crying, I know
It's so hard to find a sign of a way to go
Don't need to stone my brain, I need my head for something else
I want to live and learn, step by step I'm going on
Send me a sign, don't want to resign too soon
What situation will come I can't endure
I feel strong, but someone is crying, I know
It's so hard to find a sign of a way to go
Send me a sign, don't want to resign too soon
What situation will come I can't endure
<@#Helloween_The_Smile_Of_The_Sun.txt#@>
No more feel, no more heal
No more light meets my eyes
Is it night, is it day
I'm alone, paralyzed
Everybody is waiting for the one
Everyone will freeze to death alone
The smile of the sun
Was stolen - someone
Has taken away
The heart of all day
The smile of the sun
Is gone and no one
But you drives away
The pain of the grey
Is anybody out there
Somebody help me
Got to breathe, got to move
Got to get back my life
Here's no hope, here's no joy
In this world full of strife
Gone away, gone astray
All I once believed in
It's my soul, it's my heart
It beats slower and dies
Everybody is waiting for the one
Everyone will freeze to death alone
The smile of the sun
Was stolen - someone
Has taken away
The heart of all day
The smile of the sun
Is gone and no one
But you drives away
The pain of the grey
Is anybody out there waiting
Anybody out there for me
The smile of the sun
Was stolen
Somebody help me
The smile of the sun
Is gone and no one
But you drives away
The pain of the grey
The smile of the sun
Was stolen - someone
Has taken away
The heart of all day
The smile of the sun
Is gone and no one
But you drives away
The pain of the grey
Is anybody out there waiting
Anybody out there for me
Is anybody out there searching
Anybody out there, call me
The smile of the sun
Was stolen
Somebody help me

Feel it running off
So strong and clear
An age is over fast
And disappears
Help him if you can
His hour will come soon
Push away his fear
He'll see Elysium
It's time
It's time
Guard him a little while
And calm his shiver
Wash and dry his tears
And cold his fever
Take the bibles words
Speak it pure his soul
Lay love in his mind
His close to the final goal
It's time
It's time
It's time to go
Time for the freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
Pray strong
Pray to the higher
Turn your back on the devil's fire
Time to go
Time for freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
Time is passing by
When his mind is clear
He called your brother
Now his brain is dazed
It's resigning rather
Mother take his hand
Say a last good-bye
We're not gifted to
Turn water into wine
It's time
It's time
It's time to go
Time for the freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
Pray strong
Pray to the higher
Turn your back on the devil's fire
Time to go
Time for freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
Time is passing by

Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again

The art of losing myself

Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace

And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out

I said on Sunday how much I want revival
But then on Monday I can't even find my bible
Where's power, the power of the cross in my life?
I'm sick of playing the game of religion
I'm tired of loosing my reason for living
Where's power, the power of the cross in my life?
I'm not content just to walk through my life
Giving in to the lies walking in compromises
Now we cried out as a generation that was lost
But now is found in the power of the cross
We believe in You, we believe in the power of the cross and it?s true
We believe in You, so we lay down the cause that the cross might be found in
You
I'm not satisfied living in my own ways
I'm not satisfied to do church and walk away
I'm not satisfied there's no love in my life but You
I'm not satisfied living in yesterday?s hour
I'm not satisfied to have the form but not power
I'm not satisfied oh Lord I am crucified in You

Your loves enough to see the broken hearts
Gain a brand new start with a brand new heart
As the faithful hope in things unseen
You're enough to see all the things they dream
Come to life

And this day is what we have now
In this moment we have chosen to praise
And it's changing how we live now
Your love it broke my fall
It's more than enough and I need it
Cause I've never known better
And I'll never know better
Your love's enough to see the humbled man
Find the cause of Christ
With his outstretched hands
As the cripple grabs his mat to walk
You're enough to save him from the pain he bore
Were living in the Saviour today
And this day is what we have now
In this moment we have chosen to praise
And it's changing how we live now
Your love it broke my fall
It's more than enough and I need it
Cause I've never known better

Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known

The skies lay low where you are
On the earth you rest your feet
Yet the hands that cradle the stars
Are the hands that bled for me
And in that moment
Of glorious surrender
You were broken
For all the world to see
Lifted out of the ashes
I am found in the aftermath
Freedom found in your scars
And in your grace my life redeemed
For you chose
To take the sinners crown
As you placed your crown on me
And in that moment
Of glorious surrender
Was the moment
You broke the chains in me
Lifted out of the ashes
I am found in the aftermath
And in that moment
You opened up the heavens
To the broken, the beggar and the thief
Lifted out of the wreckage
I found hope in the aftermath
And I know
You're with me
Yes I know, you're with me here
And I know, your love will light the way
And I know, Your with me
Yes I know, you're with me here
And I know
Your love will light the way
Now all I have
I count it all as lost
But to know you
To carry the cross
Knowing I'm found
In the light, of the aftermath
<@#Hillsong_United_Arms_Open_Wide.txt#@>
Take my life I lay it down
At the cross where I am found
All I have I give to You oh God
Take my hands and make them clean
Keep my heart in purity
That I may walk in all You have for me
[Chorus]
Oh here I stand
Arms open wide
Oh I am Yours
And You are mine
Take my moments and my days
Let each breath that I take
Be ever only for You oh God
[Chorus]
My whole life is Yours
I give it all
Surrendered to Your Name
And forever I will pray
Have Your way
Have Your way

This is my revelation
Christ Jesus crucified
Salvation through repentance
At the cross on which He died
Now hear my absolution
Forgiveness for my sin
And I sink beneath the waters
That Christ was buried in
[Chorus:]
I will rise, I will rise
As Christ was raised to life
Now in Him, now in Him
I live
I stand a new creation
Baptized in blood and fire
No fear of condemnation
By faith I'm justified
[Chorus:]
I will rise, I will rise
As Christ was raised to life
Now in Him, now in Him
I live
[X2]
I rise as You are risen
Declare Your rule and reign
My life confess Your Lordship
And glorify Your Name
Your Word it stands eternal
Your Kingdom knows no end
Your praise goes on forever
An on and on again
No power can stand against You
No curse assault Your throne
No one can steal Your glory
For it is Yours alone
I stand to sing Your praises
I stand to testify
For I was dead in my sin
[Chorus:]
But now I rise, I will rise
As Christ was raised to life
Now in Him, now in Him
I live
I will rise, I will rise
As Christ was raised to life
Now in Him, now in Him
I live

Through waters uncharted my soul will embark
I'll follow Your voice straight into the dark
And if from the course You intend I depart
Speak to the sails of my wandering heart
[Chorus]
Like the wind You'll guide
Clear the skies before me
And I'll glide this open sea
Like the stars, Your Word
Will align my voyage
And remind me where I've been
And where I am going
Lost in the shallows amidst fear and fog
Your truth is the compass
That points me back north
Jesus, my Captain
My soul's trusted Lord
All my allegiance is rightfully Yours

The Holy Spirit is here and His power is real
Anything can happen and it probably will
Something very good something good is going on around here
There's a light that shines to make the dark disappear
A power at work but there's nothing to fear
Something very good something good is going on around here
This is a church on fire
This is the Holy Spirit flame
We have a burning desire
To lift up Jesus' name
Let the fire burn in every heart
To light the way, defeat the dark
Let the flame of love burn higher
This is a church
This is a church on fire
<@#Hillsong_United_Devotion.txt#@>
I've been running, trying to be one who sees
I've been working, salvation out on my knees
There is nothing better than knowing
That we are redeemed
Unbelieving, trusting in creative hands
I am praying for our world to bow to your plan
And this one thought is unmistakable
I take up my cross and follow you Lord
[Chorus:]
When you stand the tall trees and mountains bow
When you speak the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
Unforgiven, my savior who did not deserve death
He was blameless and I was lost in shamefulness
Undelivered, but it doesn't seem right
Unless I keep my eyes focused on the savior who gave his live
In the middle of a world that denies it believes
It is breaking apart at the very seams
There is one thing to be alive for
And it's to take up my cross and follow you Lord
[Chorus]
And I fall to my knees
I will take up my cross and follow Lord where you lead me
And I will take up my cross and follow wherever you go
I will take up my cross and follow Lord where you lead me
And I will take up my cross and follow wherever you go
[Chorus x2]
And I fall to my knees
I fall to my knees
I fall to my knees

Artist: Abundant Life Ministries
My heart is captivated Lord, by You alone
Captured by the awesomeness of You alone
Melted by the grace and mercy You have shown
I stand in wonder
I reach to You, the One who makes the blind eyes see
Who breaks the chains of sickness with authority
Restoring what was broken
So it may fly again
I live to worship You
I breathe to worship You
All of my days, your face I'll seek
For as I worship You
You lead me to that place
To that place of divine exchange

Verse 1:
Would you believe me if I said...
That we are the ones who can make the change
In the world today...
Would you believe me if I said...
That all of your dreams in your heart
Can come true... Today... Yeah...
Would you believe me if I said...
That life could be all that you want it to be... Today... Yeah...
Chorus:
If I had wings I would fly
'Cause all that I need, You are
And if the world caved in around me
To You I'd still hold on
Cause You're all that I believe
And the one that created me
Jesus... Because of You... I'm free
Verse 2:
Would you believe me if I said...
That God can make miracles happen today

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what you have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
Chorus
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about you
It's all about you, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it
When it's all about you
It's all about you, Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much you deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is yours
Every single breath
Chorus

Love strung out I am found in the price You paid
I know that Your life is the blood running through my veins

I feel the weight drop in the wake of the empty grave
I want You, need You
I love You Jesus
My heart beats forever
Just to know You
Let go and throw
My future into Your hands
Again
Heart beats loud to the sound of a different drum
Calling me out from the crowd to pursue the One
I want You, need You
I love You Jesus
My heart beats forever
Just to know You
Let go and throw
My future into Your hands
I want You, need You
I love You Jesus
My heart beats forever
Just to know You
Let go and throw
My future into Your hands
Again
Break me down till I soar on grace
Lead me on through the fire and rain
The rhythm of my heart beats wild
For Your endless praise
Every waking hour I will seek Your face
I want You, need You
I love You Jesus
My heart beats forever
Just to know You
Let go and throw
My future into Your hands
I want You, need You
I love You Jesus
My heart beats forever
Just to know You
Let go and throw
My future into Your hands

Open up my eyes to the things unseen

As you laid down your life
You took up a sinner's cross
And your life rescued mine
In this redemption
Love and mercy displayed
You lifted my eyes to see
That your truth never fails

I'll run to your arms of love
Your light's gonna lead me home

Still you are all that I need
At your cross I lay my burdens
At your feet, where your love covers

Out on the town kicking around feeling bluesy
It's getting late I can't afford to be choosy
Should be home and dry by now
Tried every trick in the book but
Another night Saturday night and I'm losing
Another night Saturday night and I'm losing
The DJ plays a song from the past I remember
I hold her tight in my arms she surrenders
It's the same old record playing
But it's a different girl that's swaying
[Chorus:]
As we move around the room
Whispering things with my eyes closed
I feels that you're here
Then the music stops I open my eyes
My fantasy ends we're not even friends
So leave me to catch my ride pay my fare on my way home
The same thing every week on my own
Next time around you might be there
My luck might change but until then

Jimmy's outside with his motor engine hummin'
Sent me along to see if you were comin'
Out onto the highway gonna break the city limits
Jimmy's gettin ready gonna put his foot in it
Soft shoe Louie drinkin with his floozy Sue
Got the invitation the burn out's due
I'd be a rebel when I'm good and ready
Headin for the bar
Tell Jimmy to cool it
But not to go too far
Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine
Louie and Jimmy didn't know about the plan
Cops out on the highway
Gonna take the job at hand
Been hidin out for Louie gonna get him canned
Gonna catch him in the action
He's gonna wanna make a stand
Jimmy's impatient wants to burn on rubber
He's gotta wait for Louie
Cause there ain't no other
The undisputed king of the road said "Jimmy, I'm ready You better shift your
load"
Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine
C'mon and get it, boy
Louie and Jimmy's out to have a fight
Shakin hands with the man below
Stokin' out the flames
Flames burnin' higher
One of them has gotta go
One of them has gotta go
Highway nine and they're starting to roll
Jimmy's hearts thumpin
Blood runnin cold
Louie looks over and gives a sly smile
Says look in your mirror boy
Cops are behind
Get a move on Jimmy
You're fallin for the trap
There's only one winner
The loser takes the rap
Well, Bye bye Jimmy,
Don't wait for me inside
I'm goin back to floozy Sue
And thanks for the ride
Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine
Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine

[Chorus]
Sass 'E' Frass and Joe 'D' Glow
Headin' out to the picture show
Sweet innocence not yet 18
Daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Heavy Chevy soft top down
One arm driver, the other arm around
Switched on hi fi rock'n'roll
Gunnin' the engine heading for the open road
Given strict instructions
Not to fall for no seductions
Daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Joe had no such orders
Gonna try and cross the border
Daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Sass makes the move she straightens her seams
Joe checks in the mirror he thinks he's James Dean
He pulls on over says he's got a flat
Sass is no fool she knows where he's at
[Chorus]
She's had love and she's had kissin'
Knows what she's been missin'
No turnin' back for little Sass 'E' Frass
Will they be standin' side by side
If their love they cannot hide?
No turnin' back for little Sass 'E' Frass
Sass 'E' Frass and Joe 'D' Glow
Never made it to the picture show
Sweet innocence thrown out the door,
She'll never be the same no more

Oh, daddy don't mind what daddy don't see [Repeat: x3]

I would drink my wine from your sh-sh-shoe
Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
It's all down to on you
I've been this way everyday
thinking of you
[Chorus: x2]
Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
What else can I do
I've been this way everyday
now that we're through

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today.
I heard that he's left you, and run off to see.
Could be the best thing that's happened to me.
Writing a letter to make you feel better.
Sorry to hear that he left you that way.
I could have told ya,
He was much older,
So much older than you.
You loved him blindly,
He treated ya kindly,
Until he found out what he could get from you.
You should have departed, before he got started.
Now you've been burned just like I said you would.
Please read my letter closely,
It's beneficial to you,
Must read in between the lines,
A message you will see.
If you use your mind you'll find,
I want you bad with me-eee-eeee
Ba ba ba ba ba

Don't you even care what's gonna happen to me, whoah
You're turning me loose and I never asked to be free, no
After all that we've been through
How can you let it end
I wanna be your lifetime man
But you wanna be my friend
Don't you even care what's gonna happen to me, whoah
Don't you even care what's gonna happen to me
How will I spend my days
What will I do each night

Don't you ever think about anybody but you
After you have gone, babe

Harlequin has lost his crown
Look they say a broken clown
Yesterday he ruled the world
Now he's crying to be heard
Yesterday he called the tune
Now he's howling at the moon
Harlequin has broken down
Harlequin, Harlequin has lost his crown
Harlequin has broken loose
Slipped the knot and skipped the noose
Can those bloodhounds find his trail
Will they send him back to jail
Can those bloodhounds find his scent
Will they find out where he went
Harlequin cannot be found
Harlequin, Harlequin has gone to ground
Harlequin is back on top
Now his fame will never stop
See him shown from coast to coast
He's the one they love the most
See them slap him on the back
How they love his every crack
Harlequin we knew you'd do it
Harlequin, Harlequin
Harlequin, Harlequin
Harlequin, Harlequin
Harlequin, Harlequin
Harlequin, Harlequin

Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
They say every thing can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear, I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
Standin' next to me in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long, I hear him shoutin' so loud
Cryin' out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes
But lately I seen her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
Oh, she takes just like a woman
Yes she does
And she makes love just like a woman
Yes she does
And she aches just like a woman
Yeah but she breaks just like a little girl
Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe, I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed
'Til she finally sees that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamines and her pearls
Oh, she takes just like a woman
Yes she does
And she makes love just like a woman
Yes she does
And she aches just like a woman
Yeah but she breaks just like a little girl
It was rainin' from the first
I was dyin' of thirst
So I came in here
And your longtime curse
Hurts but what's worse
Is this pain in here?
I can't stay in here, ain't it clear?
I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again, introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when

Mad Professor Blyth is working on his pet invention
To dematerialise himself into the fourth dimension
He's got his mind set on illusion
To find the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he disappeared
Tried it on his cat one grey night when it was foggy
Never got it back Oh what happened to his Moggy
He's got his mind set on illusion
To find the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he's disappeared
All the kids around about his neighbourhood
Used to laugh at him and call him names
Silly old bat freaky four-eyes
Sort of things they used to shout
He can't hear them now
He's disappeared
Colleagues at the lab
They all thought that he was crazy
Don't know where he's at
His formulas to them are hazy
He had his mind set on illusion
He found the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he's disappeared

When sand's close at hand
And the sea is touching me,
I feel much happier
Than I've ever felt. and a long time goes by
And I'm floating in the sky.
And I wish you could be,
Wish you could be here.
And if you're free, follow me
Throw a pebble in my sea.
The sun will wrap you up
In a pool of gold, and lights in the night
In the night reaching neon waves of sight.
But
I wish you could be,
Wish you could be,
Wish you could be here.
The sun, the sand, the sea are waiting
On the corner. Take a trip out here.
Hustle, bustle, shove and fuss
Will greet you if you stay there.
I'm without a care.
Fresh fruit and sea fish,
Are in abundance here.
But they don't allow
The natives at your door
Selling booze
Smuggled from another shore.

Still shine silently
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to prove

There's nothing left but you babe

All I have is strictly forbidden
And all I have is strictly insane
We know what we want
But that's not always good for us
Insanity is not always despair
All I have means nothing to me
And all I give is so much more
When nothing is left
There's nothing to lose
When there's nothing to lose
There is peace of the mind
We all fall into oblivion
And history slowly fades
What's done doesn't matter
What matter's not done
All we have, belongs to no one
All I have means nothing to me
And all I give is so much more
When nothing is left
There's nothing to lose
When there's nothing to lose
There is peace of the mind
All I have means nothing to me
And all I give is so much more
When nothing is left
There's nothing to lose
When there's nothing to lose
There is peace of the mind
When there's nothing to lose
There is peace of the mind
When there's nothing to lose
There is peace of the mind
When there's nothing to lose
There is peace of the mind

Permanently together

You're much too slow for me
Why don't we ever flip our coin

<@#Horrible_Histories_English_Civil_War.txt#@>
We are the Roundheads, we don't want kings no more,
That's why we started the English civil war.
People say we're no fun, but we disagree,
Especially when explaining, parliamentary democracy.
We are particularly excited by the notions of jurisprudence...
That's enough dullness, we're the Cavalier crew,
Supporting King Charles, and everything that he'll do.
Puritans bore us, it's really a crime,
When your parliamentary business cuts our partying time.
Roundheads, soundheads, keep the music down heads,
Rules and regulations led, dull but fair.
Cavaliers three cheers, wackier head gears,
We live to boogie with our peers. Unfair? Don't care!
I am the king, I can do what I like,
Start up a war, or a big tax hike.
Got a French wife, she's a catholic.
O law!
Really King Charles, we're not quite sure!
Insolence! Is that how you talk to the Crown,
I am the King, I'll just close Parliament down.
I'll think you find, that's in breach of due process.
Here's what we say to that (spit) Now clear up this mess!
Roundheads, soundheads, witches should be drowned heads,
Don't believe in crowned heads, Parliament's our thing.
Cavaliers three cheers, your superiors,
We're all toffs who cry 'Here, Here' and 'God Save The King'.
(That's me!)
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Cavaliers! Roundheads! The English Civil War!
Why is it called 'civil'? May I kill you please? Sure!
Love civil wars, to be fought on this land,
If I get to power, Christmas will be banned.
No chance Cromwell, victory will be mine,
You'll never pass a ban on mince pies and mulled wine.
That's what you think, just wait 'til you're caught,
I'll also scrap theatre, music and sport.
Your pathetic war will finish even before it's begun,
We've taken Charles prisoner, the Roundheads have won!
(Oh!)
Victory three cheers, Cavaliers in tears,
No power for years, I'm the leader of the pack!
Charles head Roundhead, hurrah now the king's dead,
Sins binned, instead a righteous track.

<@#Horrible_Histories_Pilgrim_Rap.txt#@>
We're the pilgrim fathers
You may have heard rather
A lot 'bout our notions
Crossing the ocean
On the good ship Mayflower
But it's true our journey
Turned into quite a commotion.
People report that we sported these hats
But that's not true, I mean, would you?
Anyway the main thing to say
We began the usa
Our little band of religion fans
From the East Midlands.
We all believed slowly
That England was becoming less holy
So set off for Holland
Cause there we had friends
But in the end seemed the Netherlands
Would never be the land, we planned.
Couldn't stand to remain on that terrain
So again we rearranged
To start a new nation with our congregation
A new and calmer life took a farmer and a builder and his wife
And a clerica, to find America.
Oh it's a new world
It wasn't new to the natives
Still we thought we'd claim it
Yeah, it's the new world.
I still remember 9th of November
The year 1620 and we saw plenty of land
We thanked God when we found ground
I kept calm but it didn't go as planned.
Couldn't land on the sand
A month later though, we made it
New Plymouth man, we claimed it
The natives said not
But ran when we shot.
Moved there it proved yeah
That life would be tough
Cause we didn't have enough
Of the right stuff.
Did you know had no seeds we could grow
Although William Mullins had stacked
126 pairs of shoes in his pack
Now that's whack.
A fishing rod, a plough,
A pig, or a cow
Would have been a much better idea
But now there's no food for us to eat
Does this mean that we'll meet with de feet!
No fun in the new world
I'm glad we've arrived here
But will we survive here
Yeah, in the new world.
People were staving
Our numbers halving
And when the winter winds blew
Even fewer live through
It wasn't pretty in our new city
But the natives took pity even though
They didn't have to.
Man called Squanto
Showed us how to grow maize
Catch eel for a meal
Build shelter in the baze
Tribe gave us a feast
Our starvation ceased
What they had done
Turned us back from the dead
To the living and to this day
That's why we have thanks-giving.
In Massachusetts built a colony it's true
They say modern America was founded by our crew
It's a new world
But we can't call it England
Let's call it New England
Yeah, in the world.
My home was in Plymouth
Lets call it New Plymouth
I got an idea let's call this New Hampshire
Wait I'm from Newcastle
Can we call it New Newcastle?
Nah!
It's a new world.

My name is Shakespeare, William
I owned a feather quill, I am
The writer most familiar to you
My way with words amazes me
Came up with so many phrases me

Oh, "You've got the be cruel to be kind"
"If truth were known", "Love is blind"
Yet each of these quotes you will find
It's what I do
"Seen better days" (That's one of his)
Ah, "Salad days" (He is the biz)
"All the world's a stage"

May seem kind of scary
I'm a walking dictionary
Sturdy with the wordy Shakespeare
"Quality of mercy is not strained"
"Such stuff as dreams are made"
"Off with his head"

"This is the short and long of it"
"Brevity is the soul of wit"

Oh you suffered "Green-eyed jealousy"
Please do not "Stand on ceremony"
I wrote "The Queen's English"
Queen's English I wrote
"It's Greek to me" (That's a Shakespeare line)
"Meal and drink to me" (He was the first to combine)
"Infinite variety"
Yeah, that was one of mine
Don't call me flakey
I'm William Shakey
Not lazy with the phrasey

I was the greatest, I was ace
To find a better writer, that's "A wild goose chase"
I was truly brilliant which is why I sing

It doesn't seem so long ago
That I was sitting at the edge of the desk
And now I'm looking back with a smile
As I turn my back to success
And I laugh and I cry and ask myself why
Everyday they do the same
And I stop and I think for a minute each week
Do they always catch the train
Everyday, everyday, everyday seems to end this way
Everyday, everyday, everyday seems to end this way
Everday just seems the same
It seems like only yesterday
That I was sitting at the edge of the desk
And now I'm looking back with a smile
As I turn my back to success
And I laugh and I cry and ask myself why
Everyday they do the same
And I stop and I think for a minute each week
Do they always catch the train
Everyday, everyday, everyday seems to end this way
Everyday, everyday, everyday seems to end this way
Everday just seems the same
Everyday, everyday, everyday seems to end this way
Everyday, everyday, everyday seems to end this way
Everday just seems the same
Everyday, everyday, everyday seems to end this way
Everyday, everyday, everyday seems to end this way
Everday just seems the same

Famines will be famines, banquets will be banquets
Some spend winter in a palace, some spend it in blankets
Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today
Time to end the praying
Listen what they're saying
Get up off your knees
You can wag your finger till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more
Paupers will be paupers, bankers will be bankers
Some own pennies in a jar, some own oil tankers
What may sound like tomorrow could be ours today
There's no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray
Time to end the praying
Listen what they're saying
Get up off your knees
You can wag your finger till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more
Countries will be countries, borders will be borders
Some have lost their folks at war, some have give orders
Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today
Time to end the praying
Listen what they're saying
<@#Housemartins_The_People_Who_Grinned_Themselves_To_Death.txt#@>
They smiled so much and waved their flags
As she saluted to the military band
Most of the people failed to see
She had a broken bottle in the other hand
And she took them by surprise
When she took them by the throat
And said "My friend you're not allowed to vote"
But they shook it all off
With a nervous laugh and cough
"Next time," she said "I'll let those people choke"
The people who grinned themselves to death
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath
And even when their kids were starving
They all thought the queen was charming
She polished all upon the wall
And ran her hands right through her hair
So if the lady took the time to call
All the houses on the street would not compare
And she thought it really funny
That she hadn't any money
But those she looked up to, they had
But they shook it all off
With a nervous laugh and cough
And when they took her riches it was sad
The people who grinned themselves to death
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath
And even when their kids were starving
They all thought the queen was charming
<@#Howard_Jones_Assault_And_Battery.txt#@>
The lives were taken
For feasts at the table
A life of misery
Ending with a shock
Brutal murder (brutal murder)
All hands to the slaughter
Mass torture
All hands to the knife
And I can hear the screams
With the knife, the jolt, the wring
They must follow in our dreams
Carrying a twisted sting
Children's stories with their farmyard favourites
At the table in a different disguise
Don't talk to me of health
Or something someone else will do
We're talking about the act
Of taking life for me and you
And I hear their screams
<@#Howard_Jones_Bounce_Right_Back.txt#@>
I was walking down the street
With my old friend luke
And the strangest thing we saw
There was a flash like dynamite
And we fell down to the floor
And as we looked up this weird dude stood
I guess he was standing about four feet five
With a nonchalance and a joie de vivre
His face was grinning from side to side
Chorus
Well he said button up and tighten your lip
Keep a check on what you say
Those crazy words you fling from your mouth
Are going to bounce back on you some day
Now several years pass
I thought nothing more
It was down to a nine to five grind
I was shuffling round to my old friend's house
I had party on my mind
While chatting this chick
A guerilla muscled in
A brace of henchmen right behind
My blood boiled hard
I'll give you a piece of my mind
And this guy appeared by my side
Don't you know what he said
Chorus
I was walking down the street with my old friend luke
We were getting into a bit of a heavy scene
He say yes and I say no
He say what do you mean
I pulled my piece and he pulled his
We stared each other right in the eye
There was a flash like dynamite
And this guy appeared by our side
Chorus
<@#Howard_Jones_Equality.txt#@>
Everybody wants to feel happy, even if you think that you don't
Everyone wants to know the secret, even if you think that you don't
Everybody thinks they're different from the next man now
But we just got to realize we're just the same
Always appear to be someone better
You know there will always appear to be someone worse
You know there'll always appear to be someone better
You know there'll always appear to be someone worse, oh
Everyone has got their character
Everyone has got their personality
But the longing is still the same
So what is the answer by easy on yourself
Make yourself feel at ease maybe that's the answer
Always appear to be someone better
You know there will always appear to be someone worse
Always appear to be someone better
You know there'll always appear to be someone worse, oh
We're just the same don't you know
We're just the same don't you know
Looking over there
He looks different, she looks different
They might even be different
But we're just the same, don't you know
We're just the same, don't you know
We're just the same
<@#Howard_Jones_Everlasting_Love.txt#@>
He wasn't looking for a pretty face
She wasn't searching for the latest style
He didn't want someone who walked straight off the TV
She needed someone with an interior smile
She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill
She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill
I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
Back in the world of disposable emotion
In the climate of temporary dreams
He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost
A love to push, pull and burst at the seams
This is love worth waiting for
Something special, something pure
This is love worth waiting for
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
This is love worth waiting for.
<@#Howard_Jones_Hunger_For_The_Flesh.txt#@>
Spare a thought for the souls
Who cannot leave this earth
The attachments bind so tightly, not a chance
Not a chance of a new birth
The river gently beckons
But the answer is no
Gripping their illusions
They cannot let them go
Hunger for the flesh
Leads them to a weaker heart
Mortals who imprisoned themselves
Let them have a new start
Wishing to hold onto life and all it's games
Singing their lament song
Holding back the change
They came here for to dance
To learn and not to cling
Holding onto life
As if it were the important thing
Hunger for the flesh
Hunger for security
Caught up in the mesh
Caught up for eternity
Hunger for the flesh
Hunger for security
Caught up in the mesh
Caught up for eternity
The river gently beckons
But the answer is no
Gripping their illusions
They cannot let them go
Hunger for the flesh
Leads them to a weaker heart
Mortals who imprison themselves
Let them have a new start
Let them have a new start
Hunger for the flesh
Hunger for security
Caught up in the mesh
Caught up for eternity
Hunger for the flesh
Hunger for security
Caught up in the mesh
Holding back the change

You let me paint
The colours of your mind
The love that remains wont fade over time
You'll be alright
So baby don't cry
I'll be the sunset in your sky
I'll be the soft winds you feel passing by
So chin up my darlin'
Ill be there on that distant horizon
That hurts me so
But I must go
You let me be the person that I am
Through my confusion you helped me stand
I'll be alright
So baby don't cry
I'll be the sunset in your sky
I'll be the soft winds you feel passing by
So chin up my darling
I'll be there on that distant horizon
That hurts me so
But I must go
So chin up my darlin'
I'll be there on that distant horizon
It hurts be so
But I must go
I must go
I will search every star 'till I find where you are
And take you home
So chin up my darlin'
I'll be there on that distant horizon
It hurts me so
But I must go

<@#Howard_Jones_Last_Supper.txt#@>
This is our last supper together
The last time we share in this intimacy
We have created a suffering circle that threatens to
Tighten and destroy you and me
Yesterday I flicked through the snapshots we
Kept to remember the tender times
Each little picture and each little memory should bring back a smile
But now brings back a tear of regret
Chorus
Letting go is so hard
Letting go is so hard
So let us love tonight, thinking now of our greatest moments before we
Release from this death in life drink the wine and take my hand
Is it a crime to live this lie?
I know that we will never share, share this love again
But we both must be starting again, each one of
Us too strong in these chains to remain
This tug of war has weakened our purpose and
Pulled us apart from beginning to end
<@#Howard_Jones_Left_No_Evidence.txt#@>
Out of time and no one noticed
Rubbing up a different way
Out of step but still in focus things to say
Kicking out the social pressure
Holding on to what you feel
Being you was never easy
Sliding off the the ferris wheel
Small was beautiful to you
Things are on a micro scale
Turned your back on power and glory
Yours was such a personal tale
Dancing to a different step now
Choose you're beats along the way
Nothing arrives at you're house packaged
No glittery wrap to throw away
Cutting different shapes and sizes
Bringing tomorrow into today
No one noticed you as you snuck in the sideline and talked in a quiet way
No bullshit no theatrics no pretence and left no evidence
You left no evidence
You left no evidence

Together we can cast away the fear
Together we can wipe away the tear
Together we can strip down the barriers
And be one
Don't want to talk about the weather
Don't want to talk about the news
Just want to get to the real you inside
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together
Don't you think now is the time
We should be feelin'
Just want to simply say
Won't let you slip away
People want to talk about the future
Don't want to linger on the past
Just want to reach to the real you inside
Forget cold glances and rejections
Leave the things that separate
Build on a trust that we can stand on
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together
Finding all are insecure
Opening the same door
Leaving out a stubborn pride
Seeing from another side
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
Like to get to know you well
So we can be one
We can be one together

Heaven is a somewhere locked inside and I must find the key
Wish I'd never locked the door
Ordinary things in life are where this heaven likes to be
Hold the sky, feet on the floor
Hold the sky, feet on the floor
We make our sun to shine
We make our space and time
We make the weather
We make it change
Hell is not somewhere but a state of mind I choose to be
When my faith in life has gone
Cruelty rebounds to hurt itself puts shackles on the free
Vicious circle carries on
Hold the sky, feet on the floor
We make our sun to shine
We make our space and time
We make the weather
We make it change
We make the weather
We make it change
Time to judge the act don't judge the actor of the circumstance
Time to free compassion's world
Life is not the end we're passing through like bubbles on the sea
Time to learn and time to mend
Hold the sky, feet on the floor
We make our sun to shine
We make our space and time
We make the weather
We made a change
We make the weather
We make a change

A strength to ease your mind
Trust fate
Relate
This trial you'll tolerate
Summer would be bitter without you

Someone stopped the clock when we should have started early
If we miss the morning meeting our lives will be in danger
Someone's trying to stop us, there is someone in our party
It is someone with a grudge and they won't let us reach the border
Our lives are in his hands, we pay with Krugerrands
The currency of pain to help us leaving
While back in our homeland the ones who make a stand
Are taken from their homes and no one hears of them again
I felt I had to come here, I thought things would be better
The situation's changed but I find I'm still resented
Someone wants my job it is someone in this building
Someone's spreading rumors and I don't feel I can stay here
I think I'm going north and now's the time to leave
The people there they say are good to strangers
And if I do my best and try to settle in
I'm sure I can be just like someone's neighbor
I'm sure I can be just like someone's neighbor

It leaves me breathless
I see your dreams come true
You're not so restless
Or light, or bright
Marianne
One day I might not care
What happened to me
Your lack of sympathy fails to disturb me
I've got a life of my own
I remember the day I thought we couldn't lose
Running round the garden in your mother's shoes
Playing with your sisters
I didn't see you were a grown up girl
And bringing me tea
But is it life in a grown up world
On a cold autumn day
Is it life, someone's wife
When the car had broken down
The best of my girls
I didn't see you were a grown up girl
Oh how I hate the celebration
But you give it all away leaving me on my own
But is it life in a grown up world
I can't wait for the end of the celebration
Is it life, someone's wife
Add it up, all that's left is a space in a life
That goes on as before
One day I might not care
What happens to me
Your lack of sympathy fails to disturb me
I've got a life of my own
Add it up, all that's left is a space in a life

We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Don't let this bad world change you
You got places to go, so much further than I can see
We could be perfect strangers
Thank you for spending one night with me
Let's just keep this simple
It's say, then it's goodbye
The syrup's so much sweeter when you let the butter fly
So spread your wings and go, it's better not to know
What I'm gonna miss, I'll remember your kiss when I turn my head and say
We could be perfect strangers, let's spend tonight
We could be perfect strangers, hello, won't you look in my eyes?
Don't let this bad world change you

We are burning wires melting all over each other

This time will be the last time
That we will fight like this
This time will be the last time
That we will fight like this...hey!
We are always wanting
Things we cannot find
You know that we are always wasting time
We are hoping, yes and we're praying
This time will be the last time
That we will fight like this
This time will be the last time
That we will fight like this
You know I can forget
We have fought before
I've seen inside your heart
And I know it's breaking
We are hoping, yeah and we're praying
Maybe this time will be the last time
That we will fight like this
This time will be the last time
That we will fight like this
This time will be the last time

<@#INXS_Waiting_To_Be_Free.txt#@>
There are times when I feel like nothing's been achieved
Torn by indecision, it's not hard to believe it
That all of our hopes and all of our dreams
Wrapped up in chains just waiting to be free
I got to tell you all about it
Man killing man and words are afar
So many dreams and I'm dark
Close all the windows and lock all the doors
Deceiving your friends and using us all
I got to tell you, doo, doo, doo, yeah
There are times when I feel like nothing's been achieved
Torn by indecision, it's not hard to believe it
That all of our hopes and all of our dreams
Wrapped up in chains just waiting to be free
I got to tell you, doo, doo, doo
All you do, doo, doo
Wouldn't that be friends [?]
I love you like I do
I try to tell you, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, loo, loo

China, china, the evening's moving in
See you, soon now, the boat moves with the wind
China, china, I can see the harbour lights
Light your, fire, we'll be warm tonight
China, china, the thoughts drift from the sea
I'm dreaming, of you, wear your dress for me
China, china, the oceans on the wheel(? )
The seagulls flying lower now
China I can feel you by my side
Across the bay, across the tyne
Can you hear me say
China, china, wear your hair down low
Lady, lady, you're frozen to the bone
China, china, the catch was good today
The oilskins clinging to my back
And the lantern gently sways
Oh don't you cry, the kids to bed
Didn't mean the things I said
China, china, the years go rolling by
Laughter, sorrow, I will not make you cry
China, china, think before you speak
Always remember the ocean hauls as deep
And if I'm tired of feeling low
Don't let me sleep, you know
China, china, the men are on the quay
Drinking, smoking, talking quietly
The water's calmer now
All my work is done
So china, see ya.

I told my baby girl
That I live by all the rules
She laughed and said to me
Don't you take me for a fool
Then she ran me down
People saw me over town
Then word got back to her
That I was fooling round
[Chorus]
I, I ain't no angel
I, I ain't no angel
So good, goodbye love
Good, goodbye love
Now I'm living on my own
Since my baby set me free
Seems I hurt her pride
And caused her misery
She never understands
To keep me satisfied
I got to live this life
The only way I can
[Chorus]
All right then, come on
[Chorus]
Now they say there is no doubt
That the question in their minds
That I'll be down and out
And the days I'll never find
But you'll never understand
To keep me satisfied
I got to live my life
The only way I can
[Chorus]
<@#Ian_Hunter_Life_After_Death.txt#@>
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death?
Do you believe? Oh yeah!
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death?
Do you believe? Oh yeah!
Do you stop take another roller coaster ride
Do I beg, steal, cheat or lie? Oh my is there life after death?
Oh I wish I'd never smoked so much
I wish I'd never felt the Devil's touch
All that passes through my eyes so fast. Oh my.
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death?
Do you believe? Oh yeah!
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death?
Do you believe? Oh yeah!
It's such a sad sad song
Mother Nature ain't never wrong
She always tells you when you're getting on
Oh my, is there life after death?
I can hardly wait to see my face
Will I still have one in a different place
Oh you'll forgive me if I hesitate, but oh my
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death? Do you believe? Oh yeah!
Is there life, is there life?
Is there life after death? Do you believe? Oh yeah!
Is it any wonder, I feel just a little bit under
I hear choirs filled with Fenders say return to sender
Jumping information, I've got hyperventilation
Will it help me if I walk the streets
I gotta get down search around feel the ground by my feet
Oh no I never knew just how long this could go
If only I could go down slow
I'm gonna shake it, shake it, shake it, is there life after death
I can't remember when I felt so sick and rough
And now they're gonna legalize the stuff
It sure tells you when you've had enough, off the cuff
Is there life, is there life? Is there life after death? Do you believe? Oh
yeah!
Is there life, is there life? Is there life after death? Do you believe,
I've run out of breath.

We walked to the sea, just my father and me
And the dogs played around on the sand.
Winter cold cut the air, hanging still everywhere
Dressed in gray did he say hold my hand?
I said love's easier when it's far away
We sat and watched the distant lights.
We're two ships that pass in the night
And we smile when we say it's alright.
We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night.
There's a boat on the line where the sea meets the sky.
There's another that rides far behind.
And it seems you and I are like strangers a wide
Ways apart as we drift on through time.
He said it's harder now you're far away
We only read you when you write.
We're two ships that pass in the night
We both smile when we say it's alright.
We're still here, oh it's just that we're out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night.
We're two ships that pass in the night
We're two ships that pass in the night
We're two ships that pass in the night

My tea turned seven shades darker
As I sit 'n' write these words
And london's gettin' paler
In my theatre of the absurd.
You figured for an evening
And you made it all worthwile.
It's seldom people have a job
And even rarer that I smile.
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Teach your children to be them
And never ever ours.
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Someone took the park away
But they left a lonely flower.
And if your songs be classics,
Throw them to the hurd.
Truth is where they came from
And not this theatre of the absurd.
Some say you wanted to play for me
But it's only what you've heard
That made you want to capture me
In your theatre of the absurd.
It was not me, I said myself
And you must do so, too.
I hope you have the strength to stay
When I'll be watchin' you.
So baby,
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Teach your children to be them
And never ever ours.
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Someone took the park away
But they left a lonely flower.
Oh when I got here back home tonight
Something within me stirred.
Oh it must have been a different kind of play
That touched my theatre of the absurd.
Now I'll be on my way alone
But an interesting thing occurred
See nobody ever shared too much
In my theatre of the absurd.
And there I was back in london,
Thought about history.
It was just like being in school again
But I felt something movin' in me.
Hearin' just a bit of the future,
Oh it's comin' and it's still blurred
And that's the only thing worth living for
In my theatre of the absurd.
Come on,
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Teach your children to be them
And never ever ours.
Oh play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Someone took the park away
But they left a lonely flower.
(beautiful)
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
(john, come on)
Play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Oh, play me some, (come on, eric) play me some,
Play me brixton power.
Oh, play me some, play me some,
Play me brixton power.

That's it baby, take one last look
We gotta go catch a plane
Then you won't die, and I won't die
But we won't ever be the same
Oh I can feel a mood coming down on me
Such a good thing disappears
I can sense the loss creeping up on us
And it's deeper than any tears I've known
You stepped into my dreams
You opened up the door
You stepped into my dreams
I want you back for more
You stepped into my dreams tonight
In the shadows of the night you're sorry
In the morning we was gone
Won't you blow a kiss to me baby
We both gotta be moving on
Sometimes you see a lover and she's made for love
But you let that lover slip by
You believe and yet she's so hard to get
And you never know the reasons why
She stepped into your dreams
She opened up your door
She stepped into your dreams
You want her so much more
She stepped into your dreams tonight yeah
Oh when you're doing what you're doing
What do you think of me babe
There ain't much else to say
In another time, in another place
Things might have turned out okay
I can feel a darkness I can never conceal
Sometimes I get just a little insane
I can feel emotions like the mighty oceans
They're driving me again, and I know
You stepped into my dreams
You opened up the door
You stepped into my dreams
I want you back for more
You stepped into my dreams
And I don't know what to do
I'm so scared of losing you.
<@#Ice_Cube_Down_For_Whatever.txt#@>
Damn.
I'm broke.
My feet hurt.
(Inside the mind of a car jacker)
And that bitch is slippin'.
It makes me wanna, creep.
It makes me wanna, creep.
Damn I'm such a G it's pathetic
Here comes the big headed
Nigga that's dippin'
Sippin' on Courvoisier
Goddamn I must havta floss today
Now pimpin' ain't easy but it's necessary
So I'm chasin' bitches like Tom chased Jerry
I'll put the pedal to the flo-uh
In my two-tone Ford Explo-uh
You know how it's done
Sounds bumpin
Ain't that somethin'?
Jumped on the 110
She's flyin' in the Blazer
Like "Go Speed Racer"
But I ain't gonna chase her
Like Racer X
But I won't flex
Til it's time to have sex
So when you want to get together?
Cause you know a nigga like me
Is down for whatever
And I'm down for whatever
When I was little I didn't want to be like Mike
I wanted to be like Ike
Cause
Papa Was A Rolling Stone in the sixties
And he liked green like Bill Bixby
Told me that my best friend was a ten and a twenty
Pokets never skinny
Played let's get it on in the living room
And hwne he gets drunk you better give him room
Cause he'll turn the party out sayin', "This is my motherfuckin' house"
And y'all gots to go
Through the door
And if you can't find the door
He'll help you with the four-four
Talkin' much shit on the grass
And straight down to blast
I'm still in my p.j.'s
He's in a turtleneck sweater
And we down for whatever
And I'm down
Solid Pro is down for whatever
The Don Jaguar is down for whatever
And it don't seem to stop
Now
I don't talk a lot of shit
But when it's time to get busy with these hos, let's go
Cause I'd rather see a skinhead dead
Then my niggas wearin' blue or red
Cause I got the gift
To hit these hos swift
And I'm smellin' like a fifth
Of somethin'
Yeah, that's right
I'm standin' in the store
Koreans
Act so nice
Cause I got potentials to blow up a Winchells
Doughnut
And you know what?
I'm Cool Like That like Digable Planets
But don't take a nigga for granted
Cause whether it's a verdict of the L.A. four
You just don't know
That this rappin'-ass nigga will change with the weather
And be down for whatever
And I'm down
Creep.
And I'm down for whatever
Ice Cube, devoid of pop
And I will never dance for you trick-ass niggas
It makes me wanna, creep.
It makes me wanna, creep.

Uhh, gotta get it...uhhh....hmmm....get it, get it
Baby
Stab thru the neighborhood, these spinin'
Weez winin', scrap with the John Lennon
Head rests, TV's in 'em
Best in the nation, on this playstation
The Don Daata, gotta get you hotter
Been a buck naked nigga smokin' water
On a friday, the get high day
Blowin' at a hot date, findin' Shade
Black and bicantay, with ass everwhere, how you do that there?
A sight to behold, break the mold
Just tryin' to get some before the world explode
I see you tryin' to get caught
Well shake what your mama gave ya, plus what you bought
We fuck and we fought, we laugh and we cry
Told the truth and we lie
You be good to me, i'll be good to you
Anything you want, anything you do
I got my eyes on you, and i'm in to you
Give it all I got, and to keep it hot
Now what a freak like you, doin' with a fool like me?
Explain it to your family
It's got to be insanity --because I like what you're doing to me
You know you ain't right standin' at the light
Think it's chocolate with that shit too tight
And if I fuck around and get you in the car with me
Motherfuckers would think I had a star with me
Now see the haterism increase
They hate when you got a dime piece
And I got one shotgun, and I might catch a hot one
When i'm lookin' for love and niggas got none, uhh
If you let me handcuff your wrist
Bonnie and Clyde ain't got shit on this
Cuz Bonnie and Clyde had to take a risk
But most of my money see it's all legit baby
It's all about your state of mind
Now what would you do if I handed you a tech nine?
Are you feelin' me?
Would you stay down like Hillary?
Even if you thought about killin' me?
You be good to me, i'll be good to you
Anything you want, anything you do
I got my eyes on you, and i'm in to you
Give it all I got, and to keep it hot
Now what a freak like you, doin' with a fool like me?
Explain it to your family
It's got to be insanity --because I like what you're doing to me
Are you the type of girl that would call them folks
Have your man leave the house in chains and ropes
Don't need the kind of girl that'll have me in court
On lawsuits lyin' about demestic abuse
Have a bitch like Judge Judy cussin' me out
Garnish my cheques, reposses my lex
Cuz I come from a place in southern Californi
Where hoes rake niggas for tons of alimoni
But fuck the world don't aks me for shit
Unless you my boo, and i'm fuckin' you
The rest of these broads ain't knowin'
That i'm a have you bumpin' Lauryn, in somethin' foreign
Come thru blow the horn
Stick your wrists out the window
And wave to your kinfolks
Let 'em know who you with
And to your crazy ass daddy, let him know who to get
You be good to me, i'll be good to you
Anything you want, anything you do
I got my eyes on you, and i'm in to you
Give it all I got, and to keep it hot
Now what a freak like you, doin' with a fool like me?
Explain it to your family
It's got to be insanity --because I like what you're doing to me
Now what a freak like you, doin' with a fool like me?

I'ma stack strilla, yeah, buy me a villa,
Sell a five-oh to my Auntie Priscilla,
I don't give a fuck that she look like thriller,
Hit that shit, one more time and fuck around and kill her.
Cause I got the heart of a Pittsburgh Steeler,
Black nigga, draped in gold with a nine milla,
Love money, love jail, love that penitentiary mail,
Love the way these niggas smell, keep comin' back, can't you tell,
Love to see my mama cry, love to see my babies struggle,
Love to see my woman juggle nuts cause she got the hustle,
I don't give a fuck, how my life go,
Now I'ma slave man to this cave man, without Geico
Everybody wanna a car, Michael a psycho
But he ain't never came through the hood with a rifle,
Gunnin' niggas down cause they don't got the right clothes,
Hit the wrong person cause we shoot just like hoes,
First I was blood thirsty, Mr. Mr. Controversy,
Now I wanna beg for mercy, should of took my ass to first

If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality,
How the fuck we suppose to change our reality,
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality,
How the fuck we suppose to change our reality,
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality,
How the fuck we suppose to change our reality,
If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality,
How the fuck we suppose to change our reality,
Fuck school, Nigga, if I grow a little taller,
Everybody tell me I'ma gonna do it, I'm gonna be a baller,
So fuck that thinkin', fuck that thinkin',
Fuck them Lincolns, I want Franklin's
Come back through here with my crew, I'ma gonna have my own shoe,
I'ma gonna be that little fool, coming in your living room,
Startin' point guard, nigga, fresh outta middle school,
Either is the NBA, or is the NFL,
I dunno what else I can do, to keep my ass self outta jail,
I wanna be like Tiger Woods, swing that club, make you sick,
I wanna be like Pacman Jones, I wanna be like Michael Vick,
I wanna be like Barry Bonds, I wanna be like OJ Simpson,
Leader's feel, leader's prison, tell you motherfuckers where to kiss em,
I wanna be all broke'd up, moving all old and slow,
I wanna be a alcoholic, just like Barway Joe,
I wanna be a side show, kinda like Iron Mike,
Used to have a few Bentley, now I just ride a bike,
[Chorus]
Fuck school, nigga, they ain't tryin' to educate me,
All they give a fuck is what I memorize lately,
I'ma gonna have to teach myself,
Clock that money, get that wealth,
I wanna be like Santa Claus,
I don't wanna be no fucking elf,
No kid left behind, buddy get the run around,
Can't you motherfuckers see that they tryin' to doom us down,
Don't trust the government, president, is for sale,
He don't give a fuck about a nigga, just a oil well,
Sell crack, go to jail, bust a rap, go to hell,
Do I got to sell my soul, if I wanna go to Yale,
Go kiss Oprah's ass, if you wanna be Gail,
I rather have my ass kissed, up in Bloomingdale,
You can go, be a pimp, you can go, be a hoe,
But you only gonna get paid off, what you know,
If you don't know shit, then you can't work for me,
Cause you read your first book, in a penitentiary,

Give me that beat fool it's a full time jack move
Chilly Chill, yo homie mack the track move
And I'll jack any Tom, Dick and Hank
That's the name of the suckers I done ganked
I get away from a copper
Drop a dime, I'll break you off somethin proper
With the L-E-N-see-H-M-O-be
T-Bone and that's J.D.
And here's how we'll greet ya
Stop fool, come off that beat ya
Feel dumb cause you're caught in the dark
(ya lil nuttin ass mark)
Raise up, cause you can't' have it back
You said "I ain't never got gaffled like that"
Off the end of the gat you choke
Short Dog's in the house "Whattup loc?"
Nuttin' but a come up
Gimme that bass, and don't try to run up
'Cause you'll get banked somethin' sweet
Ice Cube and the Lench Mob, is jackin' for beats
Huh, and even if you're down with my crew
Yo Chuck man, I don't understand this man
You got to slow down
I jack them too
And then we'll freak it
Kick that bass, and look what we did
Fade the grade, played, and made a few mil
And I keep stealin
Ice Cube'll make it funky
But right about now - let's get up in the hump
But I don't party and shake my butt
I leave that to the brothers with the funny haircuts
And it'll drive you nuts
Steal your beat, and give it that gangsta touch
Like jackin' at night
Say hi to the three fifty-seven I'm packin'
And it sounds so sweet
Ice Cube and the Lench Mob, is jackin' for beats
Ice Cube, will take a funky beat and reshape it
Locate a dope break, and then I break it
And give it that gangsta lean
Dead in your face as I turn up the bass
I make punk suckers run and duck because
I don't try to hide cause you know that I love to
Jack a fool for his beat and then I'm Audi
So when I come to your town don't crowd me
Cause I know, you're gonna want to kick it with me
But I know, none of y'all can get with me
So you think you're protected
Well you are til you put a funky beat on a record
Then I have to show and prove and use your groove
Cause suckers can't fade the Cube
And if I jack you and you keep comin'
I'll have you marks a 100 Miles and Running!
Stop stop stop stop stop!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh shit
Scarface is on the mix
So yo suck a nigga dick
Or make a nigga rich or somethin' bitch
See I come from the place known as the South Park Zone
Talkin' shit ain't into clickin' take your punk ass home
'Cause I'm the type of nigga that'll chuck
Hit you in the chest with a motherfuckin' tec and watch you jump
So die motherfuckers die motherfuckers die
Look deep into the eyes of a killer smokin', fry
One nigga you can't fuck wit
'Cause I'm a born killer with the mind of a lunatic
So bring in body bags when I start bangin
'Cause I'm leavin' motherfuckers laid out, with they brains hangin'
Straight gettin' down for mine
And I'll fuck up a bitch, cause I don't mind dyin'
So feel me drill me, put a bullet in my head, but yo
You can't kill me, cause I'm already dead
Scarface goin' psycho, yeah
Play pussy get fucked and take two to your head
I'm Bushwick Bill, but call me Chuckie
Fifth Ward hard bitch, play hero and buck me
Cause I'm known to pull your skull out
Grip a motherfucker by his neck and gouge his fuckin' eyes out
I'm insane by a longshot, hey
Chuckwick Bill, a.k.a. Charles Libre
A short nigga with some lonnnnng nuts
Drop you dead in your bed now I'm ready for a long fuck
Necromance that ass for a minute
And split that motherfuckin' click when I'm finished
You punk bitches be retreatin
Freddy and Jason runnin' home with their mouths bleedin'
So welcome to the Slaughterhouse trance
Fifth Ward Texas Chuckie's Concentration Camp
You punk motherfuckers fled
And those who didn't make it got two to the fuckin' head
Buck him down, buck him down, come again
Two to the chin, Ice Cube'll blast they ass til the end
With my pistol, runnin' from Da Lench Mob
Is how you survive in South Central
Kick the instrumental, run and get your bigger crew
'Cause it's Judgment Day, and Ice Cube is Terminigga 2
Pow pow buck buck pow buck
Your name is Stucky Mack, now you realize that you're fucked
Two to the brain I leave a migraine
Have you coolin' like a vegetable, but you're not edible
It's the incredible, buck your ass from head to toe
Audi 5000, don't wait for the Feds to show
'Cause they'll have me go up up the river
Where the white boys'll try to make a nigga
Walk, walk the plank, got the shank, hide the tape
Around the handle, gotta let em know what I stand for
In the chow line, now is the time
See the trustee, walk up from behind
Real quick shank shank, leave his ass red
Motherfucker dead, from two to the head
See where I come from the crime rate only rises
The murderers disguise in all ages shapes and sizes
Bitches picked up and dicked up, niggaz they gettin' stuck up
Give up what you got, or get your ass shut the fuck up
Run em down and gun em down yeah that's how we do it
Niggaz get killed, and then filled with embalming fluid
Step to the niggaz that I'm checkin'
Pull out the tec and I reckon you'll get murdered in a second
Bang with the nine, boom with the pow
Motherfuckers are fallin' and crawlin' on the ground
Snitches get stitches, bitches that act snotty
Inside the parties even the hotties get turned to bodies
Now I heard, they got other places that's similar
But I represent, New York you fuck around I'm killin ya
A whole block of cops patrollin when I'm rollin'
And if my pockets are swollen you know somebody sick I've stolen
Yeah you niggaz get ripped, when my clip, goes in the
S-M-I-T-H W-E-Double-S-O-N
Or the reliable revolver
And like I said before, it's the motherfuckin' problem solver
So bring it on nigga, get brave
It's plenty motherfuckers gettin' sent to early graves
'Cause when a nigga gets fed
Then all you motherfuckers get two to the fuckin' head
<@#Ice_Cube_We_Had_To_Tear_This_Mothafucka_Up.txt#@>
Peace, quiet and good order will be maintained in our city
To the best of our ability
Riots, melees and disturbances of the peace are against the
Interests of all our people and therefore cannot be permitted
(The jury found that they were all not guilty, not guilty, not guilty)
We've been told that all along Crenshaw boulevard
That there's a series of fires, a lot of looting is going on
A disaster area obviously
(The jury found that they were all not guilty, not guilty)
Make it rough
(A lot of activity continues here in this command post)
Make it rough
(We have sporadic fires throughout the city of Los Angeles)
Not guilty the filthy, devils tried ta kill me
When the news get to the hood then niggas will be
Hotter than cayenne pepper, cuss, bust
Kickin' up dust is a must
I can't trust a cracker in a blue uniform
Stick a nigga like a Unicorn
Vaughn wicked, Lawrence Powell, foul
Cut his fuckin' throat and I smile
Go to Simi valley and surely
Somebody knows the address of the jury
Pay a little visit, "Who is it?"
(Who is Ice Cube?)
"Can I talk to the grand wizard?", then boom
Make him eat the barrel, modern day feral
Now he's zipped up like leather tuscadero
Pretty soon, we'll catch Sergeant Coon
Shoot him in the face, run up in him witta broom
Stick prick, devils ain't shit
Introduce his ass to the AK40 dick
Two dazed niggas layin' in the cut
To get some respect we had to tear this muthafucka up
(Make it rough)
I gotta Mac10 for officer Wynd
Damn, his devil ass need to be shipped back to Kansas
In a casket, crew cut fagot
Now he ain't nothin' but food for the maggots
Lunch, punch, Hawaiin lyin'
Niggas ain't buyin', ya story bore me
Tearin' up shit with fire, shooters, looters
Now I got a lap-top computer
I told you all what happened and you heard it, read it
But all you could call me was anti-semitic
Regret it, nope, said it, yep
Listen to my big black boots as I step
Niggas had to break you off somethin', give bush a push
But your national guard ain't hard
You had to get Rodney to stop me 'cause you know what?
We woulda teared this muthafucka up
(Huh, make it rough)
(Huh muggs, make it rough)
It's on, gone with the wind and I know white men can't dunk
Now I'm stealin' blunts
And it came from Betty Crocker, overweight and blacker
Don't fuck with the black-owned stores but hit the foot lockers
Steal, muthafuck fire, Marshall Bill
Oh what the hell, throw the cocktail
I smelt smoke, got the fuck out, Ice Cube lucked out
My nigga had his truck out, didn't get stuck out
In front of that store with the Nikes and Adidas
Oh Jesus, [Incomprehensible] surplus got the heaters
Meet us so we can get the 9's and the what-nots
Got the Mossberg with the double eyed buckshot
Ready for Darryl and like beretta wouldn't say
Keep your eye on the barrel, a sparrow
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time
But I'm rollin' so that's a fucked up slogan
The hogan's heroes spotted the gorilla by the sizzler
Hittin' up police killer
The super duper nigga that'll buck
We had to tear this muthafucka up, so what the fuck?
Huh, make it rough
Yo muggs, make it rough
Huh, make it rough
Enough

<@#Idina_Menzel_A_Hero_Comes_Home.txt#@>
Out of the mist of history
He'll come again
Sailing on ships across the sea
To a wounded Nation
Signs of a saviour
Like fire on the water
It's what we prayed for
One of our own
Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
But always
A hero comes home
Deep in the heart of darkness sparks
A dream of light
Surrounded by hopelessness
He finds the will to fight
There's no surrender
Always remember
It doesn't end here
We're not alone
Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
But always
A hero comes home
And he will come back on the crimson tide
Dead or alive
And even though we know the bridge has burned
He will return
He will return
Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home
He knows of places unknown
Always
A hero comes home
Someday they'll carve in stone
"The hero comes home"
He goes and comes back alone
But always
A hero comes home
Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home

Down in Larissa's lagoon
She sits by the light of the moon
She's hearing voices in her head
She must be strong
She must not give in to their song
She's hearing voices in her head
Down in Larissa's lagoon
Her guests, they sleep in separate rooms
But her father comes to tuck her into bed
She's lost her mind
Got no control
And there's nowhere else to go
When her father comes to tuck her into bed
[Chrous:]
But Larissa woke up one morning singing,
"Hallelujah, remember me for my passion,
The paradise that I imagined, hallelujah."
Down in Larissa's lagoon
The skies, they never look blue
'Cause someone spiked the rain
With a little extra juice
She thinks she's being followed
Any minute she'll be swallowed
Someone spiked this rain
With a little extra juice
[Chorus]
Hallelujah... Hallelujah... Hallelujah... Hallelujah
Down in Larissa's lagoon
There is no force that's greater
Looming deep within a very, very, very troubled girl
She stays awake for hours
Picking out the sweetest flowers
To lay upon the grave of a very, very troubled girl
[Chorus]
<@#Idina_Menzel_Let_Me_Fall.txt#@>
It's October again
Leaves are falling down like rain
One more year's come and gone
But nothing's changed
Wasn't I supposed to be someone
Who could face the things that I've been running from?
Let me feel
I don't care if I break down
Let me fall
Even if I hit the ground
If I cry a little
And die a little
At least I know I lived
Just a little
Let me feel
Let me fall
I become much too good at being invincible
I'm an expert at 'play it safe' and 'keep it cool'
But I swear this is not who I'm meant to be
I refuse to let my life fall over me
Let me feel (let me feel)
I don't care if I break down
Let me fall (let me fall)
Even if I hit the ground
If I cry a little (cry)
And die a little (die)
At least I know I lived
Just a little
Let me feel
Let me fall
Yes, I'm gonna be someone (gonna be)
If I take it as it comes
If I face the things that I've been running from
I've been running from
Let me feel (let me feel)
I don't care if I break down
Let me fall (let me fall)
Even if I hit the ground
If I cry a little (cry)
And die a little (die)
At least I know I lived
Just a little
Let me feel
Let me fall
It's October again
The leaves are falling down like rain
Oh...

Let his flesh not be torn
Let his blood leave no stain
Though they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Let him never die
Let him never die

Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen

What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading!
I don't even know which trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead, or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my
Generous supply?
No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!

Doctor Dillamond
Fiyero
Fiyero!
One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why
No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well
Well, look at what well-meant did
All right, enough, so be it
So be it, then
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
Since I can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do again!

All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put us back together
again.
We huffed and we puffed
And we blew this house down.
Well, we tried.
Yeah, we tried.
The sticks and the stones
Were breakin' my bones,
And the names that were said kinda hurt us.
Riddle me this and riddle me that.
What went wrong?

When did the sun stop shinin'?
When did we turn into two divided?
I guess we will never really know why,
But I remember once upon a time.
Sometimes I wih upon a star
To give you a reason to give me your heart.
Rockaby baby, you rocked me goodbye.
Tell me why.

Sitting in my easy chair
I got no friends but I really don't care
I don't remember birthdays
I don't remember names
People talk to me
I know not what they say
Well my political policy is laissez-faire
You keep off my thoroughfare
My weeds grow like roses
My gardens like greed
My temples are discotheques for refugees
[Chorus:]
It's all about me
On my very own Planet Z
Where I'm lonely, but I'm free
Nothing gets in my way
I think I'm gonna have to stay right here
[Repeat]
Well my pizza delivery guys, they all wear suits
And all my musicians, they play in the nude
The lawyers wear nipple rings
They kiss my ass
And the french horn players are
In the most demand
[Chorus]
Planet Z
You can't predict the weather
But it's fine with me
Can't you see
I don't like when you bother me
Planet Z
The stars are brighter in my galaxy
Thirteen moons revolve around, around, around...
[Chorus]
Well these lovely little snowflakes are everywhere
They're the spitballs that you blow in my hair
Well I won't remember your birthday
I won't remember your name
Just keep talking to me
I'm not listening
[Chorus]

Muscled physiques in butt town
Their tan uniforms are tailored in chic
In butt town
Any young black male who walks down the street
Is gonna get stopped by a car full of meat
But the girl with the hair
Flies by in her underwear-
She's done nothing so far to deserve that car
When you live in butt town
You gotta get down
But in butt town I'm learnin'
In butt town I'm earnin'
In butt town I'm turnin'
Into my worst nightmare
I'm tellin' you, it's a motley crew in butt town
Monday you're new, and Friday you're through
In butt town
The producer is wily, and owns what he sells
The talent is eager to go straight to hell
Th tits are amazing, and everyone's gazing
At some body part-
That's the nature of art in butt town
All over butt town dreams have a show down
All over butt town values are thrown down
But in butt town I'm learnin'
In butt town I'm earnin'
In butt town I'm turnin'

That the joyful are free
I need some lovin'
Like an inmate needs a dime
I need some lovin'
Like a poet needs a rhyme
Here I stand in isolation
My empty hands in isolation
Walking down the broken highway
Sucking sugar cause it's my way
Find me one heart to complete with
Heading for the farthest reaches
I need some lovin'
Like a body needs a soul
I need some lovin'
Like a fastball needs control

This whole country is scared of failure.
My head keeps trying to sell me ambition.
But in my heart, I want self-respect.
There's a conflict.
Boy, I feel so outgunned today
But I'll get up and fight back, anyway
You and I are not huge mainstream stars
But unlike them, we're really what we are
We got Main Street eyes
Watchin' as the big boys roll by
Under rotten television skies
We got Main Street eyes
I saw a kitten squashed in the street
I read about a plastic surgeon and his art collection.
We are played for suckers all the time
Phony rock and roll
It's a crime
I don't want to dip myself in trash
I don't want to give myself for cash
We got Main Street eyes
Tryin' to do what's decent with our lives
Under funny television skies
We got Main Street eyes
Walkin' around sometimes
I see a tension under the surface
People are just about ready to explode.
So hold me, and trust me
I love you, don't worry.
Keep your Main Street eyes [Repeat: x3]
Eyes

<@#Iggy_Pop_Neighborhood_Threat.txt#@>
Down where your paint is cracking
Look down your backstairs buddy
Somebodies living there and
He don't really feel the weather
And he don't share your pleasures
No, he don't share your pleasures
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his crazy eyes?
And you're so surprised he doesn't run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash
And you can't help him, no one can
And now that he knows
There's nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
Against the neighborhood threat?
Somewhere a baby's feeding
Somewhere a mother's needing
Outside her boy is trying
But mostly he is crying
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his crazy eyes?
And you're so surprised he doesn't run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash
But you can't help him, no one can
And now that he knows
There's nothing to get
Not in this place
Not in your face
Will you still place your bet
Against the neighborhood threat? [Repeat: x2]

I was riding on a concrete slab
Down a river of a useless land
It was such a beautiful day
I heard a witch doctor say
Ill turn you into a toadstool
I'm looking for the joke with a microscope
A muscle twitch, an auto it swerves
You want to speak you lose your nerve
Infinity throws you a curve
Dumps you in shit you don't deserve
As life roars by you in a blur
Leaves you murmuring a dirty word
A page out of a comic book
A chicken hanging on a hook
A reverie, a babbling brook
A sermonette, a TV. cook
Shaking my hand at your fake head
A suicide, a certain look
A microphone, a blues guitar
Piques a feeling near and far
Stupidity a mental scar
Cruel cruelty, oh cruelty
Harboring no inspiration
An alcoholic at the bar
Every insult goes to far
I was pissing on the desert sands,
When the desert whispered to me,
It said, isn't this a shame?
Things will never be the same...
I've learned this gets me so edgy
Now I'm looking for the joke with a microscope
I was a teenaged dinosaur
Stoned and obsolete
I didn't get fucked and I didn't get kissed
I got so fucking pissed
Using my head for an ashtray
Now I tell you who I am
I'm a repo man
And I'm looking for the joke
Yeah I'm looking for the joke
I'm looking for the joke
Looking for the joke
Looking for the joke
Looking for the joke with a microscope
I been looking for the repo repo repo repo man
Looking for the repo repo repo repo man
Looking for the repo man
Looking for the repo man
Looking for the repo man
Looking for the repo man...

pinch history
feel the pinch blistering
pinch me in dreams
cause im still not listening
x marks the spot
on your calender days
a beard half eaten
smiled
crawling with legs
temper tampered temperature
manuscript replica
in infrared is how we saw
the night that lit up
scarecrow plots
the nerve that pinches
crippled hobbled
frolicked flat on its own face
jigsaw pattern
dominoes left a trail
the whites of their eyes
polaroids tell the fate
for our amusement
we bring stares to the defendants
mechanical panaceas
absolved by history
phonetic paralysis
inflicted through morality
the seed that it nurtured
was a wilted bouquet
temper tampered temperatures
squirming through cuts

When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the shivers all over me
Shivers down my backbone
I get the shakes in the thighbone
Shivers in my knee bone
Shakin' all over
Just the way you say goodnight to me
There's a feeling on the side of me
Shivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in my thighbone
Shivers in my kneebone
Shakin' all over
Just the way you say goodnight to me
Brings a feeling I'm inside of me
Shivers down my backbone
I've got the shakes in my thighbone
Oh shivers in my knee bone

One day as I was walking
Through an airport corridor
I saw a comely goth girl
With tattoos on her form
She gazed up with her pretty white face
And shone her eyes on me
She shined my shoes and then I knew
That I would spellbound be
Her hair was not the shiniest
Her skin was not like silk
But she had a way of looking
That made me want to milk
As I sat high above her
Her cleavage I could see
I contemplated both of them
That's how she spellbound me
She wore black on her clothing
And she wore black on her boots
Lt was Lollapalooza day
But she didn't like he groups
I got lost in her pale skin
And wanted to stay down
But I had someone waiting
So I left spellbound
So if you're dark and lovely
And you see me passing by
A smile I'd appreciate
And a little bit of crime
I haven' got a dollar
And I haven't got a crown
I wander lost across this earth
I'm just spellbound

One night out in l.a.
I met a Mexicana
With a butchy girlfriend
Who I thought was a man
They took me to the alley
To have a little chat
People lined the corner
Doin' this and that
In wild America
Now I 'm in a black car
With my Mexicana
She's got methedrine but
I want marijuana
I don 't want to drive home
Not in my condition
So I ask my friend Matt
To handle the ignition
In wild America
Exterminate the brutes
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Well I mean I like it here...do you have anything you' d like to say to
America?
I'd just like to say at this point that I' m 24 hour, 7 day a week, 365 day a
year American)
I was glad that Debbie
Had a sense of humor
This time of the morning
I tend to get gloomy
She laughed and said "iggy,
You have got a biggy!"
I had no reply
So I just closed my eyes
In wild America
Exterminate the brutes
They're goin' wild
Goin' wild
They' re goin' wild
They' re goin' wild baby
They got all kinds of fuckin' stuff
They got everything you could imagine
They' re so god dammed spoiled
They' re poisoned inside
They Judge a man by what he's got
And they wanta have more and more
More power, more freedom
Taller kids, longer lives
Everything, bigger houses, slaves, whoa

I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

It won't be easy
You'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After ll that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see
Is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressd up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it too
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions
They promise to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said to much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do
Is look at me to know
That every word is true
<@#Il_Divo_She.txt#@>
She
May be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die
She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is
She, she, she

It's just another day
It's just another year
"One step at a time", they say
"One trip, and you're back that way"
I don't recognize these eyes
I don't recognize these hands
Please believe me when I tell you
That this is not who I am
[Chorus]
If I recover, will you take me back again?
I'm just another, trying hard to fit right in
But my photographs remind me of who I used to be
If only I could go back when I was me
[Verse 2]
I'll try hard to make this ride
I'll try hard to win this fight
"One step at a time", they say
"One trip, and you're back that way"
I don't recognize these eyes
I don't recognize these hands
Please believe me when I tell you
That this is not who I am

Give me strength to fight
Help me feel alive again
Make me whole inside
Instead, this hole inside is killing me
Oh, I'm begging you

There's no such thing as perfect
So we could make those plans
Would you have it otherwise

And on the fulcrum we stand on, we aim for better view
Then you trip over fault lines of which you never knew
Then you start to mail all of the blame
Find it back on your door next day

Mount the script in your autobiography
Take the hero's place and the hero's name

Even exchanged euphemisms
Then we say we must go for truth
We have an ear for envy
Never a tongue for praise
Can't we have it otherwise

Biglang ayoko na

At ngayon di pa rin alam

Pagkat merong nagbura ahhh...

Up from the seeds of faith we planted long ago
So many the hearts in season
With every prayer they've grown
You have made them ready
But we must bring them home

Servant you need now, servant I will be
Give me the eyes of your spirit,
Your heart of compassion to know
Lord of the harvest, show me where to go

Too soon today's tomorrow, too soon yesterday
So little time for the reaping and the laborers are few
Lift your head to the fields of white
The work that you must do

Used to be too carefree
I wish that I knew then what I know now
Cos I wasn't on the ground the first time around
So caught up in me that I missed you baby
No there's no forgetting, everyday regretting
All I think about is you, it drives me crazy
I want you (All I want is you baby)
All I want is you
I want you (All I want is you)
Thinkin' about Sunday walks with you baby and bedroom talks
My imagination's wild, takes over me
Let's go on a ride, find a place to hide

<@#Incognito_Did_We_Really_Ever_Try.txt#@>
Did we really ever try to understand each other?
Or was it just a game that sometimes people play?
Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder?
Was it just a game that sometimes people play?
[Sometimes people play]
I wonder if
We ever listened
To a word
That the other had to say
All that we shared
Our inner treasures
Are used against each other as we fall
Chorus
I wonder if
Before we started
We could have known
That the road would end this way
What makes us give
Our hearts so freely
Only to find that we're strangers after all
Chorus
Night and day, night and day, day and night
Night and day, people play, day and night
We fool ourselves
Into believing
Our difference will surely change in time
So we proceed
Blissfully blinded
Throwing caution to the wind along the way
<@#Incognito_Dont_Turn_My_Love_Away.txt#@>
I don't want to spend my life trying to change you
This time I'm gonna take it as it comes
There are so many things that I want to ask you
I am unafraid of what the answers may be
Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo
Before you walk away
And start burning any bridges
Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo
This woman's not the one you knew
There's been so many changes
Please don't turn my love away
(Don't turn my love away)
I'm gonna love you like no one's ever done before
Oh please don't turn your love away
(Turn my love away)
I'm gonna show you a love like you've never known
We travel so many roads in a lifetime
In search of a promise, (Promise of a dream come true)
And now that I've found you
Like a falling star falling from the midnight sky
I've got to let you know
(If only I knew then)
If I knew then what I know now
Babe I got no doubt that you'd be mine
(Baby got no doubt that you'd be mine)
No doubt in my mind you'd be mine
Please don't turn my love away
(Don't turn my love away)
I'm gonna love you like no one's ever done before
Oh please don't turn away my love away
(Turn my love away)
I'm gonna show you a love like you've never known
Don't you turn away, run away and leave me this way
Don't you turn away, don't you run away
<@#Incognito_Down_To_Earth.txt#@>
Life has cast a smile
In this game of chance
But you can't take for granted
That you've got it all worked out
Fool if you think there's nothing left to learn
You got to get down, get down, get down
Back down to earth
How could you not know?
There's quite a way to go
The wheels won't stop from turning
The chapters ever changing
We can't allow ourselves to be blinded by pride
We are so small in the plan of creation
Gravitate, gravitate, gravitate
Elevate, elevate, elevate
Your mind
So, you think there's nothing left to learn
You got to get down, get down, get down
Back down to earth
There's a story of a man
Who bragged he knew it all
Arrogance outspoken
He died alone and broken
Fool if you think there's nothing left to learn
You got to get down, get down, get down
Back down to earth
<@#Incognito_Got_To_Know.txt#@>
(Jean-Paul Maunick)
We've got so little time on our hands to make all the changes
That we're needin'
Can't leave until tomorrow what we need to do today, oh no
We just can't leave it
War is not the answer to the problems that we're facin'
Gotta learn to live together
Prejudice and pride, ignorance for our defence is not the way
If we wanna have a future
Turn back the pages of our history
Learn from our mistakes
Got to know, got to know, got to know
People got to know it
Got to know, got to know, got to know
What we reap is what we sow
The writin's on the wall and it's clear for all to see the danger
Won't you heed it
We can use the power of expression choose our destination
What it is, What it is
Let's send a message loud and clear to the leaders of the world, there's no
excuse
For this abuse
No more wars, no more wars, no more wars, don't want to fight no more
No more, no more, no more
Turn back the pages of our history
Learn from our mistakes
Got to know, got to know, got to know
People got to know it
Got to know, got to know, got to know
What we reap is what we sow
There is no shame and all to gain
Gotta give peace a chance
Woh oh oh, do right

Rejection tars the roads where I have been
Still I'm holding on to the same dream
Came through fire and the pouring rain
To be told that I'm the one to blame

Didn't know that I could be

The truth about us and their fears will grow
Only we know what has not been told
We'll meet in secret in the fields of gold

So now they come to see me cry
Too late now, the well's run dry
I know they think I'm putting chains on you

She's lookin' for a way out of this hole
She's out on her own, with hungry mouths to feed
The precious little she scratches on the dole
Is barely enough to cover all their needs
It hurts to see her once strong frame
Broken down, by the constant blows of rejection
And now in place of the sweetest smile
She wears a frown, of worry and dejection
Oh it's a cold, cold world
[that turns it's back on you]
When you're cryin out for a little love
A little love and understandin'
People at the top looking down
They don't wanna know whose at the back of the line
People at the top looking down
Can't relate to our troubled minds
People at the top looking down
People at the top
She's all caught up in these inner city blues
Out of control, she's losin' her mind
Her story's told but it's second hand news
To a world without care, they've heard it all before
Tryin' to do the best she can
But she's losin' faith in all that she believes in
The light is fading and hope is dissipatin'
They say that they listen, Lord knows that they don't hear
Oh, it's a cold, cold world [that turns it's back on you]
When you're cryin out for a little love
A little love and understandin'
<@#Incubus_Clean.txt#@>
Today, everything was fine
Until roundabout, quarter to nine
I suddenly found myself in a bind
Was it something I said?
Something I read and manifested that's getting you down
Don't you dare come to bed with that ambiguous look in your eye
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried
Say what you will
Say what you mean
You could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean
Tomorrow, what price will I pay?
Could I make it all up to you by serving coffee for two in bed?
Would you then gimme the time of day?
I need a map of your head
Translated into English
So I can learn not to make you frown
You'd feel better if you'd vent
Put your frustrations into four letter words
And let them out on mine
The most weathered ears in town
So say what you will
Say what you mean
You could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean
<@#Incubus_Consequence.txt#@>
Blink and you miss a beat
Keep one of your eyes open at all times
Think that you're on the brink?
The shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan
Consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes
Situation has a stink
Better clear the air before your son becomes a man
Blink
Everything's been augmented
You've been left so far behind
Think, for sure, next time you should wear a pair of eyes in the back of your
head
Consequence you've seen has been stranger than sci-fi of any kind
Situation baffles me
I guess it's true you are too one of the walking dead
You better think fast!
?Cause you never know what's comin' around the bend
You better not blink!
For consequence is a bigger word than you think
It's bigger than you and me
<@#Incubus_Crowded_Elevator.txt#@>
Fifteen minutes to six and fourteen floors to go
Thirteen suited strangers make a crowded elevator slow
And I've got a million words and phases on the tip of my tongue
For the only non-stranger next to me, soon she'll know
(let ?em stare)
If I could
I think I would give in
And let you in on how I feel
I need to spill
Let it all out right now
And expose every inch in front of them
Twelve more floors
And your eyes in mine are all I need to come clean
Or should I wait until the lobby
And spare the lives of some twenty-six nervous eyes
Being occupied by the little red numbers passing by?
If I wait one minute longer
I think I will die
(let ?em stare)
If I could
I think I would give in
And let you in on how I feel
I need to spill
Let it all out right now
Expose every inch in front of them
You help me to feel, see and know why all the while I've been so inquisitive
I can't go back ?cause now I know
How it feels to open up and breathe

Lyrics for Hunger For Power
Performed by Incubus
Rational human beings irrational in other ways
Betraying each other in an unfriendly race
All they do is think for themselves
Ask them for some help and they'll tell you to go to Hell
Welcome to the brutal world
Vehemence, the way it goes
Rejoicing for the disgrace of the successful one
The jealousy is the weapon of the incompetent bum
So if you think you've got your best frined
You better look back, you never know what he might do next
The anger is built in silence
It's gonna cause some ignorant violence
That's a goal rule number one
To achieve in command
What they've done in the past
You're gonna let'em pay back
I wonder why you do to others
What you don't want them doing to you
If prejudice has a value in life
Evil would rule you too
Remember for all the bad things you commit
You're gonna pay with the same coin, you damn fool
Breaking the barrier between patience and rage
That are controlling you
Now you're feeling what your best friend was going through
That's the way the circle of life
Has been for many years ago people are so greedy
When they're in trouble, they look for you
You can't lose this society battle
Evil plans are coming to your mind
To fight back, a sabotage
That has happened many times
CHORUS
Hunger for power
When you die
All you have
Won't go with you
Hunger for power
Stupid fight
You better stand straight
Or you might fall
CHORUS
Hunger for power
You'll never know
What might happen
To us all
Hunger for power
When you die
All you have
Won't go with you

<@#Incubus_Light_Grenades.txt#@>
We're given a garden
And gave back a parking lot
We got about fifteen minutes to go
Before this audience
Starts throwing tomatoes, yeah
It?s not the end, there is more show
We got about fifteen minutes to go
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one?s immune, deafening bells
My God, will we survive ourselves?
I'm not an alarmist
But someone should break the glass
And pull that red T-lever down
To get their attention
Start lobbing the light grenades
That burst and blind them with the truth
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one?s immune, deafening bells
My God, will we survive ourselves?
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked out heads above the mud
Wipe off your face, we've come this far
Come on, remember who you are
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one?s immune, deafening bells
My God
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked out heads above the mud
Wipe off your face, we've come this far
Come on, remember who you are
Come on, remember who you are
Come on, remember who you are
Remember, remember
Come on, remember who you are
Remember, remember
Come on, remember who you are

In my fantasy, I'm a pantomime
I'll just move my hands and everyone sees what I mean
Words are too messy
And it's way past time
To end in my mouth
Paint my face white and tried
Reinvent the sea one wave at a time
Speak without my voice
And see the world by candlelight
I ain't afraid to let it out
I'm not afraid to take that fall
But I have found beyond all doubt
We say more by saying nothing at all
In my fantasy, no such thing as time
Minutes bleed into days, avant garde
Show me your heresies
And I'll show you mine
We only speak in pantomimes on this carpet ride
I ain't afraid to let it out
I'm not afraid to take that fall
But I have found beyond all doubt'
We say more by saying nothing at all
In my fantasy, you look good entwined
In my hair and skin and spit and sweat and spilled red wine
You're my deep secret, I'm your pantomime
I'll just move my hands I promise you'll see what I mean

<@#Incubus_Sink_Beneath_The_Line.txt#@>
Solstice sun it sank beneath the line
And the commoners were
Drunken upon the hillside
Or so the story goes.
I guess she followed along
So she could
Watch their games!
Sink beneath the line little girl.
Peak above the shrine them commoners were.
Harvest moon it peaked above the shrine
And the crawlers emerged multitudious!
Silly girl she sat upon their doorway
Just poppin a squat!
That's when she
Felt the squirms.
My underpants!
All I know is that she wanted to be part of the crowd.
I could've told her she was welcome here, anywhere!
But instead she combed the outskirts lookin inside
And then she sat upon a bughill.
This was when things started to get rough.
An army-o-de-pinchers climbed their creepy ways
Right inside her 5-0-1 cut-offs
And her skin took on a hue of a chemical unknown to me that's right!
They were biting her beneath the line.
She was a sitting on atop their shrine.
I wish I could've warned her!
"She should've worn underpants!
There's bugs crawling everywhere and shit,
I can't believe it!"

Shadow of death, I shall fear no evil
Fear no evil, for thou are with me
Verse
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemy
Thou anointeth my head with oil
My cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me
All of the days of my life
And I'm gonna dwell in the house of the Lord forever
Bridge
Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me
All of the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
(repeat)
Surely

Verse 1
When I'm shaken to my soul
He is my strength
When life seems to take control I trust in His grace
So let the strong winds blow
I won't be afraid
For I'm anchored to his love
And He has power to save

On Jesus Christ

By faith I stand
And trust in Him
The earth around me
I sinking sand
On Jesus Christ
The Solid Rock I stand

My hope is in the Lord
And His righteousness
The strong tower of His name
Will be my fortress

I will stand strong

Chorus
That none perish
Is the will of God
To redeem man from his sin
He hung upon the cross
That none perish
But have everlasting life
That the world may know
The love of Christ
Verse 1
In every tribe and tongue
There are those who don't know God

On a cross with nail-scarred hands

From far and near
To every land
The world must know about the Master's plan

There were times in my life
That I let you down
Times in my life

I needed to feel you again
You came touched me
And gave me peace within

I love you
I praise You
I thank you for all that you've done in my life

Out of mercy and grace
I love You
With all of my life

Oh, I look back and I see
Your blessings on me (Your blessings on me)
How time after time
You keep anointing me
I still need to know that you care
I know there's nothing that can quite compare

Where would I be
Without grace and mercy

Andy
Do you love me
Do you think about it
Will you say
Turning brushwood
Into blazes
Turning summer grass
Into hay
Turning sharply
Past the graveyard
To the lakefront
With the black waves
Licking up the stones
To the swayed back
Screened in front porch
Who could ever stay the weight
Of flesh and bones
Andy
Aren't you tired
From the sun and rain
And river soaking you
From the beer cans
On your dashboard
And the bullet hole
Glass spiderweb
Staining your rear view
I have watched you
Watch an empty road
Is it only her
Upon which you all
Of you is depending
To fill your twenty
Hour work day
While all the fences
In this county still need mending
Hey
And in the night
I do my checking
And fix the broken parts
With visions of rare beauty
But in my heart I know I'm second
Forever fixed in your pursuit
It is my duty
Hey
Andy
Will you toss me
A little scrap of something
That I can taste
Instead of dust from
All the leaving
And the smell of summer
Lying here to waste
Under the burnt pyre
Of all the cast away
The tiny shoots will spring
Like questions
Will you take me
Out to the fenced hill
Sprinkled with horses
Wild in resistance to the taming
Will you break me
Will you break me

I don't think you understand
Oh the rhythm of my heart
Theres a strong line to mind and soul
I feel it tearing apart
I've been searching for new words
Gonna make you understand in a different way
When I told you Id hang on forever
I threw my choice away
And its cold as ice
I can't let go
Its cold as ice
Baby but I need your love
And I wish I could have been the first one
Oh to walk out the door
The more I find myself to blame
The less there is to come back for
You wish you could have been the last one
To tell me how you really feel
Cause when you closed the door oh deep inside
My heart it still seemed so sincere
And its cold as ice
I can't let go oh
Its cold as ice
Baby but I need your love
Its cold as ice
I can't let go
Its cold as ice
Baby but I need your love
If theres a message to this madness
Well it still seems quite unclear
If I really need to save myself
Why can't I just walk out of here
Theres a message in your eyes
And you make it perfectly plain
Either I leave your heart behind
Or crack beneath this freezing
Freezing freezing freezing rain
Cold as ice

I can't let go

To want to pass that way again
But you know I could feel it
On a country road
Sail on home to jesus wont you good girls and boys
I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice
I could seen a heavenly band full of angels
And they're a comin to set me free
Don't know much about the wild wind
But I can tell that it's bound to because I could feel it

Crazy game
I never should have started to play
But now you couldn't tear me away
Love is sweet sweet baby
So good to you
And so bad
And I fear
The situations clear before my eyes
Confusion wants to break me and it tries
I've been a little bit stronger from the start
Listen to my heart
Cause if you're ever believing
I'm thinking of leaving
Look to the moon
Cause it's a fact
She may go wandering about
But she always comes shining back
And it's true
I'll wait for you
You dry your tears
Don't be thinking grey is here to stay
Sometimes everything is in the way
You're wanting to look at it
Turn your view around
Dry your eyes
Eyes like yours should carry a smile
I haven't seen them sparkle in a while
Give it one more try
Dry your eyes
Cause if you're ever believing
I'm thinking of leaving
Look to the moon
Cause it's a fact
She may go wandering about
But she always comes shining back
And it's true
I'll wait for you

We talked up all night
And still came to no conclusion
We started a fight
That ended in silent confusion
And as we sat stuck
You could hear the trash truck
Making its way through the neighborhood
Picking up the thrown out
Different from house to house
We get to decide what we think is no good
We're sculpted from youth
The chipping away makes me weary
And as for the truth
It seems like we just pick a theory
Ah it's the one that justifies
Our daily lives
And backs us with quiver and arrows
To protect openings
Cause when the warring begins
How quickly the wide open narrows
Into the smallness of
Our deconstruction of love
We thought it was changing
But it never was
It's just the same as it ever was
A family of foxes
Came to my yard and dug in
So I looked in a book
To see what this could possibly mean
Yeah cause there's fate in the breeze
Signs in the trees
And possible tragic events
When forces collide
With the damage strewn wide
And holes blasted straight through the fence
Oh the sky starts to crash
(into the smallness of)
The rain on the roof starts to drumming
(our)
And laid up like cash
(deconstruction of love)
Your take on my list of shortcommings
And now the show starts to close
(the show)
I know how this goes
(starts to close)
The plots a predicatable showing
And though it seems grand
We're just one speck of sand
And back to the hourglass we're going
Back to the smallness of
(into the smallness of)
Our deconstruction of love
(our deconstruction of love)
We thought it was changing
But it never was
We're still in the smallness of

You're looking at foreclosure
And doing time,
And it don't sound good this time.
They found the meth and the scales,
And the wife that made your life Hell.
All that time you were telling me
You were fine.
Silly man.
So I got your dog.
How is that?
I made it nice, I wrote a check.
You cut the weeds back on my drive,
'cause you're a good guy,
Deep down inside.
What makes a boy like you go bad?
What makes a man so lonely and sad,
That he's poison all he knows
And in one year, just let it go?
And all that time you were telling me
You were fine,
Silly man, you're a silly boy.
It's been you and me on this frontier
Trying not to be suburban pioneers.
Fightin' off the pavers
And the associations,
And the covenants against the trailers.
I remember how we use to laugh
At all those rotten men in camo' drag-
With their advantage and their guns,
Up in the deer stand, shooting up a storm.
And all that time
You were telling me all those lies.
Silly man, I'm a silly girl.
You and me-
We used to hibernate like bears
And when we finally came up for air,
Everything's all marked and cleared,
Survey flags flying everywhere.
Once you told me what,
What I'll miss the most
Is just being the only ones-
With our dirt and our dead ends
And no one to turn us in.
Once you told me what,

Tell me dark heart of my deep sleep
Where the past drops in like unwanted guests
Rattling their chains of thought, shuffling their feet
Peering into things I thought I'd laid to rest
And for all I've left undone there's another dream to come
Once there were wars fought over spice and salt
And the stick of gold became the standard measure
Nothing much has changed in this modern age
And it won't until the pain's not worth the pleasure
And for all we've left undone
There's another war to come.
I want to feed and water the horses,
The course is long and dry
Can't do it alone oh no we can't although we've tried and tried and tried
We may not deserve you, we'll come to serve you by and by
Feed and water the horses
Where they lie.
I miss the smell of ink on paper and it's morning pull
All the news comes via link now all so virtual
I don't know what to think
I don't know what to feel
The beginning of the end or reinvention of the wheel
And for all we've left undone
We are still evolution
I want to feed and water the horses,
The course is long and dry
Can't do it alone oh no we can't although we've tried and tried and tried
We may not deserve you, we'll come to serve you by and by
Feed and water the horses
Where they lie.
I realize that the beast lie there in our plans
Peacefully sleeping, but faithfully keeping
They're ready for the burden man
But if you knew something (peacefully sleeping)
They'd take you to something (faithfully keeping)
You are dying for your burden man (they're ready for the burden man)
Wouldn't you need it? (Wouldn't you need it?)
Wouldn't you feed it? (Wouldn't you feed it?)
Wouldn't you praise it evermore?
Feed and water the horses
The course is long and dry
Can't do it alone oh no we can't although we've tried and tried and tried
We may not deserve you. We'll come to serve you by and by
Feed and water the horses where they lie.
<@#Indigo_Girls_Fill_It_Up_Again.txt#@>
Won't have you see me as your sad sack
Lost my something and I can't get it back
Or a kill on your trophy rack
I checked my schedule now my train is rolling down a track
Past the sadness of the salt flats
To the prospect of the land fat
Or just a lazy orange house cat
On the sofa where I'll be put up
You've been the hole in my sky, my shrinking water supply
Before my well runs dry
I'm going round round round the bend
Fill it up again
I'd like to say that it was clear to me
Love triangle geometry
But in the end it's still a mystery
The placement of affection and the disarray
I gathered up the courage that it took
Made that bed and took one last look
And you could hear the pages flapping in the wind blown
Book of my days, my days
One tank gone second thoughts are on my mind
What's this trip gonna cost me this time
The devil I know is starting to look awfully kind
But the new road is an old friend
I fill it up again
<@#Indigo_Girls_Ghost.txt#@>
There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer
The last truce we ever came to
In our adolescent war
And I start to feel the fever
From the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons
Shadowing my dreams
And the Mississippi's mighty
But it starts in Minnesota
At a place that you could walk across
With five steps down
And I guess that's how you started
Like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me
And I start to drown
And there's not enough room
In this world for my pain
Signals cross and love gets lost
And time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits
I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost
I'm in love with your ghost
Dark and dangerous like a secret
That gets whispered in a hush
(don't tell a soul)
When I wake the things I dreamt about you
Last night make me blush
(don't tell a soul)
And you kiss me like a lover
Then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river
Play your memory like a piper
And I feel it like a sickness
How this love is killing me
I'd walk into the fingers
Of your fire willingly
And dance the edge of sanity
I've never been this close
I'm in love with your ghost
Unknowing captor
You never know how much you
Pierce my spirit
But I can't touch you
Can you hear it
A cry to be free
Oh I'm forever under lock and key
As you pass through me
Now I see your face before me
I would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island
As the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence
And I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles
With you always at my heels
This bitter pill I swallow
Is the silence that I keep
It poisons me I can't swim free
The river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch
I am no worse than most
In love with your ghost
You are shadowing my dreams
(In love with your ghost)

But the song that you were singing
Was the same old heartache song
You treat me fine and you wined and dined
And I believed you when you said
I love you babe, but your only aim
Was to get me in your bed
Now I don't even like you no more
But I can't get you off of my mind

If only I could find
A way to get my hurtin heart

Remember last september
When you looked into my eyes
I should have known that the love youd shown
Was nothing more than lies
I fell for you and I know its true
That I should have stopped myself
But my lonely heart was too alone
To hurt all by itself
Now I don't even like you no more
But I can't get you off of my mind

She was grasping for a way to tell us all
The hurt she felt inside
Were all too happy she says
Lets have a war
And the night digs deeper in
Theyre just some words to pass the time
Some words to pass the time
Now when the silence gets to be too much
I can feel the soul searching
Where do I go when I've lost my cause
We are the stories
Even the good ones let me down
There all just words to pass the time
I used to be so sincere
And maybe I still am
And all this small talk I've been reeling off
Is slowly getting out of hand
I mix real feelings
With the ones I wish I had
And I catch the most important ones
In between them all
Sometimes it seems like theyre all just words
To pass the time
And then weve lost our time
And weve wasted out words
And all the strain is gone
Sometimes its too unreal to believe
Just don't give it all away
Get a grip
Causes sometimes there are just words to pass the time
I said I'm too high I'm too high
And I'm scared of falling down
I've just been grasping for words
To make you want to stay
To make it worthwhile
I don't want spend the rest of my life
Just passing time
I don't want to spend the rest of my life here
Just passing time

Oh the party?s kicked up a few notches
Look at us getting loose
She leans back against the wall and she watches, tugging her collar like it
might be a noose.
And everyone's tied to their thing
To their past or their drink or the date that they bring
I just get tired all of sudden taking it in.
And I want to lay my head down on you
Because you're the only solid thing in this room
A room full of changes, strangers, illusion, confusion,
I speak from my heart but I'm not really sure if it's true.
I wanna lay my head down on you.
Oh they say don't waste too much time planning
Or you'll get rug ripped out
And the only way you?ll be satisfied
Is learning to live without.
But some plan for the kingdom of heaven
And some take their chances and bet lucky seven
I don?t know what to believe, I just show up and breathe anymore.
And I wanna lay my head down on you
Because you're the only solid thing in this room
A room full of dressers, professors, lookers, hookers
If I don?t get out I'll do something I don?t wanna do.
And I wanna lay my head down on you.
Was it so long ago
That we sat and talked in your car
Your things were all packed
And the place you were headed not really that far
Years later I think
That I would have been much more alive
To have taken you up on your offer and taken that drive
Oh well everything that?s come before us leads us to where we are now
And that's simple, I know so why can't I let go of the feeling
That I'm lost somehow
I'm just a ghost looking in
Out of my own life just visiting
In search of a body to have and to hold and to keep and to sleep.
I wanna lay my head down on you
Because you're the only solid thing in this room
A room full of missed chance, slow dance, cold fate heartache
I showed up for a party and saw my life story full view
And I wanna lay my head down on you.

Here I am
Shooting for the sky
You say youve settled in
Yeah well I guess thats good for you
But Im still trying to tear myself free
Well I could take it or leave it
You know thats what Ive said to myself
But then I start to tremble
And Im lost to a powerless cause
Im losing touch
Sometimes my memories
They just seem to fade fast away
Ive been losing too much
Losing the feel for the dreams I once thought I had
Sometimes I feel like theyre all circling around
They keep calling to me and I keep falling down
Id rather be alone and lonely lying on the ground
Than in those grips again
Theyre so cruel
Taught me to fly
Then they stole my sky
Taught me to love
Then they broke me down
Till there was nothing left but emptiness
And dont you ever feel like theyre all circling around
They keep calling to me and I keep falling down
Id rather be alone and lonely lying on that ground
Than in those grips again
Well I could take it I could leave it you know hah
Thats what Ive said to myself
Ive been down there so many times you know
And it hurts like nothing else
Cause Im losing touch
Ive been slipping away
Ive been losing too much

Anybody looking on they can see you're not so good
People in the know they can see I miss you
In the night with no one to hear me I'm afraid and I cry
Seasons change but there's nothing changes my mind
I've been loving you too long and I can't seem to stop
You are my lifeline you make me happy
I said that, had to say it baby
Who on earth ever held me like you
Id like to see someone try
Love by you and no other loving will do
In your time baby come back to me please
Don't leave this girl lost in space
Youre the only one who could guide me out of this maze

During the time of which I speak it was hard to turn the other cheek
To the blows of insecurity
Feeding the cancer of my intellect the blood of love soon neglected
Lay dying in the strength of its impurity
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
They've all gone and left each other in search of fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
To the slim chance of love's recovery.
There I am in younger days, star gazing,
Painting picture perfect maps of how my life and love would be
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
My compass, faith in love's perfection
I missed ten million miles of read I should have seen
Meanwhile friends we thought were so together
Left each other one by one in search of fairer weather
And we sit here and drink a toast
To the slim chance of love's recovery.
Rain soaked and voice choked like silent screaming in a dream
I search for our absolute distinction
Not content to blow and bend
To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures
Eating us away, eating us away
Eating us away to our extinction
Oh how I wish I were a trinity, so if I lost a part of me
I'd still have two of the same to live
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal, as specks of dust we're universal
To let this love survive would be the greatest gift we could give
Tell all the friends who think they're so together
That these are ghosts and mirages, these thoughts of fairer weather
Though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms of love's discovery
<@#Indigo_Girls_Moment_Of_Forgiveness.txt#@>
Well I guess that I was lonely
That's why I called you on the phone
Cause in a moment of forgiveness
I didn't want to be alone
And I guess that I was willin
More than I ever was before
Cause in a moment of forgiveness
I come a knockin at your door
Baby I woke up crying last night
Just to realize that you were gone
Has it been two long years without you
Tell me now
When are you gonna come home
Guess that I was hoping
That you'd finally understand
And in a moment of forgiveness
You'd reach out and take my hand
Now baby I know
Your not one for bearing witness
(baby I know)
And you told me that
One wrong move is gonna sell you out
(one wrong move)
And I see that you kept your word
(see that you kept your word)
And made it harder than it had to be
Wish I could save you the trouble baby
(oh oh oh)
Give you a little piece of mind
Baby I woke up crying last night
Just to realize that you were gone
It's been two long years without you
When are you gonna come home
Guess that I was hoping
That you'd finally understand
And in a moment of forgiveness
You'd reach out and take my hand
And in a moment of forgiveness
You'd reach out and take my hand

As I drive
From your pearly gates
I realize that I just can't stay
All those mountains
They kept you locked inside
And hid the truth
From my slighted eyes
I came to you with a half-open heart
Dreams upon my back
Illusions of a brand new start
Nashville
Can't I carry the load
Is it my fault that
I can't reap what I sow
Nashville
Did you give me half a chance
With your southern style
And your hidden dance away
You dance away
And you dance away
All these voices
They whisper through my walls
They talk of falling fast
They say I'm losing it all
They say I'm running blind
To love of my own
But I'll be walking proud
I'm saving what I still own
I fell on my knees to kiss your land
But you are so far down
And I can't even see to stand
In nashville
You forgot the human race
You see with half a mind
What colors hide the face
Nashville
I'd like to know your fate
I'd like to stay a while
But I've seen your lowered states today
I've seen 'em today
Honey I swear I've seen 'em today
Now I'm leaving
I've got all these debts to pay
You know we all have our dues
I'll pay 'em some other place
Ah I never ask that you pay me back
We all arrive with more
I left with less than I had
Your town is made for people passing through
A last chance for a cause
I thought I knew
But nashville
You tell me what you are gonna do
With all your southern style
It'll never pull you through
Nashville
I can't place no blame
But if you forget my face
I'll never call your name again
No never again
No never again
I fell on my knees to kiss your land
But you are so far down
And I can't even see to stand
In nashville
You forgot the human race
You see with half a mind
What colors hide the face
Nashville
I'd like to know your fate
I'd like to stay a while
But I've seen your lowered states today
I've seen 'em today
Honey I swear I've seen 'em today
I'm running away I'm running away
I'm running I'm running
I'm running away
<@#Indigo_Girls_No_Way_Out.txt#@>
As I was wading through your distance
I heard you say theres no way out
And I was just thinking as my independence faded
Well theres no way in for me
Theres no way out and you know
Theres no way in
Were on either side
Scared to say were friends
Now I found jesus and you found yourself
Sometimes I still feel like I'm losing out
But we both found that its just too hard to know for sure
Just what we can lean on when were falling down
You always did see
The other side of things and sometimes
I'm bound to wonder
Do you see through me
With all the voids I tried to fill
And all the emptiness I tried to tell you about
There was never time enough
There are never words enough
And Ill never have the guts enough
But Ill tell you I've been needing you so bad
Theres no way out and you know
Theres no way in for me now
And were on either side
And were crying for a friend
Theres no way out and you said
Theres no way in for me now
And were on either side
And were scared to say were friends
<@#Indigo_Girls_Our_Deliverance.txt#@>
Now we can say that nothing's lost and only change brings round the prophecy
Where now it's melting, the solid frost was once a veil on greener landscapes
we would see
Beneath my surface the water's heating
And steam comes up and out the tears you see me shine
For every strange and bitter moment there was never a better time
For every pleasure exacts its pain
How you hurt me how you were good to me
Beneath my window a mournful train that makes me smile at my bad poetry
Beneath my surface a song is rising
It may be simple while it hides its true intent
We may be looking for our deliverance but it has already been sent
It's in the night fall when the light falls
And what you've seen isn't there anymore
It's in our blind trust that love will find us
Just like it has before
They're sending soldiers to distant places
X's and O's on someone's drawing board
Like green and plastic but with human faces
And they want to tell you it's a merciful sword
But with all the blood newly dried in the desert
Can we not fertilize the land with something else
There is no nation by god exempted
Lay down your weapons and love your neighbor as yourself
In the night fall when the light falls
And what you've seen isn't there anymore
It's through our blind trust that love will find us
Just like it has before
<@#Indigo_Girls_Peace_Tonight.txt#@>
Honey pick the red corner shoes
The ones that hardly ever get used
I knelt in front of my whole collection
And I'm picking you a special selection
On a no news is good news middle of mid-year day
I feel no ill with time to kill I want to play
Let's make peace tonight
(let's make peace tonight)
The moon is bare and shining bright
(moon is shining bright)
Let's make peace tonight in a good time
(let's make peace tonight)
I'm callin' on my good friends today
You know the drive's about an hour away
And we'll be pitching up a tent by the trees
And we'll be wading in the river to our knees
Oh now love's been planted and we're checking out the yield
It's two black dogs and a white one their running in the field
Let's make peace tonight
(let's make peace tonight)
The moon is bare and shining bright
(moon is shining bright)
Well let's make peace tonight in a good time
(let's make peace tonight)
Oh
Oh
Oh
Well we used to have some money but we spent it
(used to have some money but we spent it)
Yeah so when we want to have it then we rent it
(when we want to have it we rent it)
But we're cuttin' up the rug and I know you love me love me
(we're cuttin' up the rug and I know you love me)
And the best of everything here is free
(everything here is free)
Oh when things get messy then we tidy up the room
We'll be no stranger to that dustpan and the broom
Let's make peace tonight
(let's make peace tonight)
The moon is bare and shining bright

Let's make peace tonight

The moon is bare and shining bright

<@#Indigo_Girls_Please_Call_Me,_Baby.txt#@>
Well evening fell just like a star
Left a trail across the sky
You spit as you walked out the door
If this is love were crazy
As we fight like cats and dogs
I just know theres got to be more
So please call me, baby
Wherever you are
Its too cold to be out walking the streets
We do crazy things when were wounded
Everyones a bit insane
I don't want you catching your death of cold
Walking in the rain
Ill admit I aint no angel
Ill admit I aint no saint
I'm selfish and cold but youre blind
If I exercise my devils
Well my angels may leave too
And theyre so hard to find
So please call me, baby
Wherever you are
Its too cold to be out walking the streets
We do crazy things when were wounded
Everyones a bit insane
I don't want you catching your death of cold
Walking in the rain
Were always at each others throats
You know it drives me up the wall
Most of the time blowin off steam
I wish to hell youd leave me
Wish to God youd stay
Lifes so different than in our dream
Please call me, baby
Wherever you are
Its too cold to be out walking the streets
We do crazy things when were wounded
Everyones a bit insane
I don't want you catching your death of cold
Walking in the rain
I don't want you catching your death of cold
Out walking in the rain

Now the parking lot is empty
Everyone's gone someplace
I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed
A cooler and a 2-day suitcase
Cause there's a place we like to drive
Way out in the country
Five miles out of the city limit we're singing
And your hand's upon my knee
So we're okay
We're fine
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
We'll look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two
You know the things that I am afraid of
I'm not afraid to tell
And if we ever leave a legacy
It's that we loved each other well
'Cause I've seen the shadows of so many people
Trying on the treasures of youth
But a road that fancy and fast ends
Ends in a fatal crash
And I'm glad we got off
To tell you the truth
'Cause we're okay
We're fine
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
We'll look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two
All the shiny little trinkets of temptation
(Make new friends)
Something new instead of something old
(But keep the old)
All you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
(But remember what is gold)
And it's fools gold
(What is gold)
Fools gold
(What is gold)
Fools gold
Now we're talking about a difficult thing
And your eyes are getting wet
I took us for better and I took us for worse
Don't you ever forget it
Now the steel bars between me and a promise
Suddenly bend with ease
The closer I'm bound in love to you
The closer I am to free
So we're okay
We're fine
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
We'll look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two

I saw a vision
Little boy
You covered up your own insights
But I may have held your hand
Or seen the ghost you tried to fight
Oh a vision
Little boy
You strayed down to find the clowns
Oh and when I wrote these lines for you
Not, not one of them was found
Blame the circus and the clowns
Before you blame yourself
Cause when your greatest needs go unforgiven
And your gifts go unreceived
Little boy
Man of need
Who could know that the road would fall
Not me not one of us
That surrounds your golden walls
So now blame the circus and the clowns
Before you blame yourself
Cause all your greatest needs go unforgiven
All your gifts go unreceived
Who could know of the fall
Who could slow the speed
Who could hold your hand
We all laughed and thought you were so free
Vision boy
Man of need
Oh do the monkeys get you down
Oh they promise you the dance of life
Complete with laughters crown
Little boy
Man of need
Did you find the freak show and a crowd
I said cut the canvas on the tent
Oh we were all innocent
Blame the circus and the clowns
Before you blame yourself
When your greatest needs go unforgiven
And your gifts go unreceived
Oh your greatest needs go unforgiven
And your gifts they go unreceived
Little boy
Man of need

Theres colors on the street
Red white and blue
People shuffling their feet
People sleeping in their shoes
Theres a warning sign on the road ahead
Theres a lot of people saying wed be better off dead
Don't feel like saton but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can
Keep on rockin in the free world
Keep on rockin in the free world
Keep on rockin in the free world
Keep on rockin in the free world
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hands
Under an old street light
Next to a garbage can
And she puts the kid away
Cause she wants to get a hit
She hates her life
And what shes done to it
One more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool
Keep on rockin in the free world
Keep on rockin in the free world
Keep on rockin in the free world
Keep on rockin in the free world
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
A kinder gentler machine gun hand
We got department stores and toliet paper
Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
The man in power says to keep our hope alive
Fuel to burn roads to drive
Keep on rockin in the free world
Keep on rockin in the free world
Keep on rockin in the free world
Keep on rockin in the free world

You don?t want me calling you up
All melancholy sick from love
You prefer it uncomplicated
Things are tricky now I bet you hate it
Your mind?s eye finds the exit sign
And you?re off in perfect fashion
And you run, that?s all you?ve ever done
It?s all you know to do
I can?t hold that against you
And you?ll flee cause you?re born to be free
And if you go I?ll understand
But you better get out while you can
The party?s over, we had our fun
Flirting with madness a loaded gun
As much as nothing everything?s changed
I?m soaking in it, it falls like rain
You seek the sun to dry off what?s been done
You?ll heat up every corner of the world
As you run, that?s all you?ve ever done
It?s all you know to do
I can?t hold that against you
And you?ll flee cause you?re born to be free
And if you go I?ll understand
But you better get out while you can
Can you keep this pace forever
I have never seen it done
Up deep burn all you leave behind you
You are the surface of my sun
I measure to what degree
I can shape up what?s been forged in me
The cooper penny hissing in the pool
So much for wishes so much for cooling
Down this fire impossible desire
The further you get the more I?m drawn
And you run, that?s all you?ve ever done
It?s all you know to do
I can?t hold that against you
And you?ll flee cause you?re born to be free
And if you go I?ll understand
But you better get out while you can

Oh I think I got you figured out
Boy I think I know what you are all about
Finally I can finally see
You pull the darkness right down over me
But now I see
Everybody knows that I'm a mess
Everybody knows you stole the heart from out my chest
Everything you ever said was a lie
You're hiding behind your sweet your sweet goodbyes
I'm black and blue
'cause I fell for you
You said you never would let me go
Oh how could I ever know
I'm black and blue
And in love with you
You said, you never would let me fall
You never would let me fall, but I'm falling
You never would let me fall, you never would let me fall, but I'm falling
Oh I know I'm never gonna stop
I keep burning time away until I hit the top
One day I'll wake up and take up to the open skies
And I'll be the one with all
I'm falling
Black and blue
It's what I need to do

Say you'll come in soon
You can move me if you want to
You can move a mountain, you can move a mountain

You can move everything, you can move everything
But then one day you'll go away, but I will too
But until then, oh my darling friend, well I will hold

You can move a mountain, you can move a mountain
You can move me if you want to

I could write my name by the age of three
And I don't need anyone to cut my meat for me
I'm a big girl now, see my big girl shoes
It'll take more than just a breeze to make me
[Chorus]
Fall over, fall over, fall overboard, overboard
Fall overboard just so you can catch me
But as strong as I seem to think I am my distressing damsel,
She comes out at night when the moon's filled up and your eyes are
Bright, then I think I simply aught to
[Chorus]
Fall over, fall over, fall overboard, overboard
Fall overboard just so you can catch me
You can catch me.
I watch the ships go sailing by
I play the girl will you play the guy
And I never thought I'd be the type
To fall, to fall, to fall, to fall to fall
[Chorus]
To fall over, fall over, fall overboard, overboard
Fall overboard just so you can catch me
You can catch me, you can catch me, you can catch-
I watch the ships go sailing by I be your girl will you be my guy
And I never thought I'd be the type to fall, to fall
To fall, to fall, to fall...

To fall over, fall over, fall overboard, overboard
Fall overboard just so you can catch me
You can catch me, you can catch me

With my twenty-two it's hot with little pops
Started bustin' off shots aimin' all at the sky
I emptied out the gun bustin' all at the sky
Then I went and stole the bow and arrow from my dad
To the arrow tips I tied gasoline soaked rags
Climbed up with the Zippo, lit 'em off in the sky
A trail of black smoke leading off in the sky
I bought some Chinese stars from the Kung-Fu surplus
They had 'em under the glass, I made the purchase
Climbed up and I whizzed 'em off in the sky
Even stood up on the chimney, whizzed 'em off in the sky
Then I found a double barrel with shells at Wal-Mart
I threw it in next to the Faygo in my shopping cart
I got home, climbed up and blew it off in the sky
3:20 in the morning, bustin' off at the sky
I got a blow gun too, a real one at that
I dip the tips in poison, lay up on my back
And now they're piercing through the air straight up into the sky
It's like the only thing you hear is into the sky
I bought a harpoon off the Internet and went up
And tried to shoot it but the fuckin' rip off, it got stuck
I said "fuck it" and I threw the spear up into the sky
As fuckin' hard as I could, I threw it into the sky
I'm sprayin' mace up there, I throw M-80s up there
I'm shootin' everything I got, I sit and wait in my chair
Because I hate the sky above, whether moon or sun
Whether rain or snow, since the pain begun
I'm tryin' to aim for the Heavens up into the sky
Tell me why the love of my life had to die?
How's she gonna leave me and not even say bye?
I know that she's an angel and they're lettin' her fly
Every plan I thought we made together was a lie
She could of hung on, I bet she didn't even try
She left me dry, and that no one can deny
And when she fall from the sky, I'm askin' her why
[Chorus: x8]
Angels are falling!
Angels are falling!
Falling angels!
(Come crashing down to the floor
Won't stop 'til I get the one that I'm looking for)

Chicken Huntin'
[Violent J]
Well, I'm heading down a southern trail, I'm going chicken huntin'
Chopping redneck chicken necks I ain't saying nothing
To the hillbilly stuck my barrel in his eye
Boomshacka boomshacka hair jumps in the sky
Why I never liked chicken pot pie?
Or the chopped chicken on rye?
So tell Mr. Billy Bob I'm a cut his neck up
Slice, poke, chop chop, stab, cut
What can you do with the drunken hillbilly
Cut his fucking eyes out and feed em to his Aunt Milly
Willy Willy chicken neck, chicken hunting gotta love it
Hit him with the twelve gauge bucket, chicken nuggets
Laid out all over the grass
Then his little hound dog will eat em up fast
Last as long as you can my man
'cause when that chicken head hits the fan, you got
Blood guts fingers and toes (3x)
Sittin front row at the chicken show so...
[Chorus]
Who's going chicken huntin, we's goin' chicken huntin' (3x)
Cut a motherfucking chicken up, right!
[Shaggy 2 Dope]
Let me get a chicken sandwich with manwich
I'm finna wreck on a chicken neck
Chopping up Hilly and Billy Bob Billy
'cause I chop motherfucking redneck silly
Peeked in his yard and what did I see
I seen a chicken boy fucking a sheep
I say "Mister Mister, what the fuck you trying to do"
Ah, Billy Billy Boo
Barrels in your mouth, bullets to your head
The back of your neck's all over the shed
Boomshacka boom chop chop bang
I'm 2 Dope and it ain't no thang
To cut a chicken, trigger's clickin
Blow off his head but his feet still kickin
Last as long as you can my man
'cause when that chicken head hits the fan you got
Blood guts fingers and toes (3x)
Sittin front row at the chicken show so...
[Chorus (3x)]
[Violent J]
Went to Kentucky, I got lucky
Met this hot-collared bitch named Bucky
Riding on a chicken, milking a cow
Hittin switches in a drop top low ride tractor plow
[Shaggy 2 Dope]
Redneck fella, moonshine sella
Hang him by his neckbones, chicken bones
Locked in the cellar, yellow belly chicken plucker
You redneck fucker!

Breathin with a step and a slap on the cheek
Foot work hear me squat when I walk by
With your hawk eye you get a chalk line
I dance up and down steps when I gotta
Clown walkin on my hands I gotcha
Big love if you love that to

Sky whisky walks walk like a hawk
Freestyles for the chosin few
For me and my crew only pay per view

<@#Insane_Clown_Posse_Confessions.txt#@>
Father, I confess for doing
I had a brain, but life had to ruin it
Dissinfected, Disected, Don't Respect It
When you put me in a cage full of animals
Savages and cold blooded canibals
I can't help but come but abouts me
try to run but they found me, surround me
Then they choke ya, and provoke ya
try to smoke ya, turn you into a joka
I tried to rub it off, but its all I know
the only thing I ever knew, so what to do
look at you, a bigot till your growin old
your growin mold, with a soul that's freezin cold
so I confess, but even if I'm all wrong
I'll be down with the clown till I'm dead and gone
Chorus
I confess, this lady had a purse, so I took it
I took it home, opened it, I shook it
she had papers, lipstick and nail polish
credit cards and about 27 dollars
I bought a 5th, drank it and laid there
it seemed like, I could see the purse everywhere
on the light post, by this mail box
I tried to run from it, I ran a couple blocks
but there it was, on the side walk, waitin for me
it tried to lure me to it, I had to fuckin' do it
I picked it up, and stuck my fuckin' hand in it
it was full of rats, and they fuckin' bit it off
father I confess, I'm a criminal
but my worlds too subliminal around me
look at them, all the wicked masses
that's why I'm down with the clown till I'm ashes
Chorus
Its like a circus, a wicked carnival
Everybodys got a tickit, they're lookin
For the freaks, to point and gawk at
Look at yourself, the jokes on you jack
Chorus
(Repeats Until Song Ends)
<@#Insane_Clown_Posse_Dear_ICP.txt#@>

Should of shot that bitch in the bag with nut stains
But you nothin but a pogo tryin to fall in love but you can't love a yoyo
She will run and fuck then come right back then I greet her at the door with a
smack
Cause I'm psycho swingin till you hit her singin

In a minute he ain't even gonna want the shit
You needa shut your stuck up mouth
Cause your pussy ain't worth the walk to your house
I'm tired of the dooky lies you know your dream about his ugly ass face
between your thighs
Because you think it feels nice all he wants to do is smack your ass once or
twice
And make your buttcrack jiggle and stick his little ding a ling in the middle
I suppose you can wait for a weddin but ain't nothin wrong with givin up a
little neden
But if you really wanna hold on to the couchy atleast let him stick his nuts

Or ill wear somthin else out like maybe let him chill with his nuts in your
mouth
But if not well that's alright because he will just fuck some other bitch

Biggity puffin on the sess takin off her dress
Slap her titties up and down do they bounce? (yes)

Did she yell what the fuck? (yes) you did it right
So turn the bitch over and punch her in the eye
Some bitches like this but I don't know why
But some will hit you back you must watch out for that
Cause if you with a gangsta bitch you ain't gettin jack (aww)
How to keep your nut shh I have a secret
But if imma tell you you've got to promise to keep it

Everyone's brittle when the bass rocks
So I got a little somethin in the glovebox
Long black hair with the white rag
40 cent Faygo in a brown bag

(Chorus)
Fuck! Damnit! Another Halloween
People on Military know what this means
Houses on fire, they're blowin up cars
Creatures in the streets, and razor blades and candy bars
I went to trick-or-treat the first house on my block
Spit in my face and gave my a rock
I tried to give it back and said "I'll take nothing instead"
Turned around and walked away and felt the rock peg me in the head
Walked to the next house directly next door
There I saw an old lady dead on the floor
I said "Excuse me miss, but do you have a treat?"
She lifted her leg and scrapped flakes off her dead feet
I ran to the next house happy and giddy
And there I seen a fat woman holding up her titty
I said, "Trick-or-treat." she sad "Treat-or-trick."
And squeezed on her titty until it.....fuck it, that's too sick
Next house up was sittin back in the woods
I was a lil frightened but fuck I want the goods
I knocked on the door I heard a knock back
And then I heard "COME ON IN" and yo I'm like FUCK DAT
This house belongs to Mr.. Cherry Spoon
She said, Drop your drawers and your treat is coming soon
I quickly grew a stiffy, but kept my eyes shut
A hand came out the mail chute and flicked me in the nuts
I wobbled to the next house ready for the worst
And chillin in the drive was a long black hurst
I rang the door bell and said Is anybody home
Of course little biy have a sugar coated kidney stone
I walked throught the field, and to the next crib
Her friendliness could only be in her cooking bib
I said "How bout some candy." she said How bout instead,
A nice hot fresh home made loaf of yeast infection bread
My bag's gettin heavy so I rest on the curb
And riding on his bike her comes little Larry Shurb
I snuck up behind him and kicked him off his seat
I punched him in the neck, and power bombed him in the street
Now my bag of candy has doubled in size
Up to the next house for my scary prize
I'm like trick-or-treat, trick treat tricky dick
He opened up his door slapped my lips and didn't give me shit
Rock through his window and ran across the street
To the Dayton Mansion I'm in for a treat
I dinged on the dong, and here comes the butler
A big gumpy tall ass lurch lookin motherfucker
I said Hello Mr. is there somethin for my sack
He reached in his pocket but I think he hurt his back
It's taking him an hour, my bag is open ready
But then he finally dropped it in my sack, a fucking penny
The next house is abandonded so forget it
But wait a minute, I think somebody's livin in it
I ran up to the door "Trick-or-treat, you can't hide"
It was a crackhead, he crawled in my bag and died
The next house is mine the last on the block
My mother's sitting on the porch shining up her glock
I climbed on the roof with my brother Jump Steady
And we yelled "HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND CLOWN LOVE!" to the whole city
(Chorus til fade)

Give God the first portion of your income. Give it first!
Not after deducts, not after the social security, and the

Who am I? I'm not the Devil
I can take you to my level
Above the rocks, above the earth
Tell me what your soul is worth
How much money do you make?
How much will you let me take?
I will give you tranquilty
Just send your wealth and checks to me
Life is going to expire
And your soul will burn in fire
You will perish in the thunder
Unless you call my hotline number
God has asked you to make me rich
Me and my fat-whack gaudy bitch
On your T.V.'s late at night
Send those checks and I'll guide you to the light
"Don't put away your wallets just yet, brothers and sisters. There's
somebody here I'd like all of you to meet. This is little Jonathan.
Jonathan, say hello to the lovely people, (hello). Jonathan has
problems. Twisted neck, tangled legs, crooked spine, but we can heal
this boy. For just, uh, six thousand dollars, we can heal this boy!"

God had called me and then stopped by
And he told me you're gonna die
Unless you buy my holy water
Check, cash, or a money order
This is true, don't question me
I'll even send you shit for free
It's only ten bucks for the call
And I'll send a prayer, no charge at all
Put your lips up to the screen
Close your eyelids and intervene
Your lips to mine, now send the cash
And while you're there, you can kiss my ass
Take your paycheck and send me half
And I'll send you God's autograph
I'll get Allah's and Buddha's too
Even Zeus, I don't give a fuck who
Just send me that money
"Would you like to healed, little Jonathan? (yes, reverand).
You see brothers and sisters, this...(beep-beep beep-beep)
Excuse me. I told you never to page me on a sermon day. Yes?
Uh-huh. Hallalujah. Outty. People, that was the lord, today only,
he will heal this boy, for just five thousand dollars!"
Pass the collection plate (show-show me how you give)
Pass the collection plate (g-give-give, how to live)
Pass the collection plate (show-show-show me how you give)
Pass the collection plate (show me how you give, I'll tell you how to live)
[Violent J]
Your total's twenty-two eleven
For your set of keys to heaven
Make the checks out in my name
Me or God, it's all the same
Bring your crippled ass to me
Pay my usher the holy fee
I'll bless your legs and bless your chair
Then wheel your bitch-ass outta here
Now a special ceremony
This part don't cost any money
Drip a drop of blessed water
Now I fertalize your daughter
Even though I fucked a hooker
Took your baby girl and shook her
You still buy everything I sell
And I'm living well
See you in Hell!
"Four-thousand, eight-hundred, nine-hundred, five thousand
Hallalujah, you did it brothers and sisters. Are you ready, Jonathan?
(yes, reverand) Lord Almighty, we've met your price, give me the
healing power, I can feel it, Lord! Roomy loomy lama noma noomy!
This boy is healed. (really?) Now to the naked eye, it would appear
that this boy has not been healed, but I can assure you, this boy's

She surprises me, sometimes she hums on my balls
And I can see the world right through her bedroom walls
She has a jaw like a pelican's beak is deep
Humming me right to sleep, my favortie freak
I can rearrange the patterns of the stars in the sky
I can fly with the seagulls on the beach with the tide
Cause she can blow me there, I swear, right through the air
If I ain't really there, my balls do not care, my balls
Come on put it on me bitch
Hit me with the humdrum boogie
That thing, oh goodie
Come on put it on me bitch
Right now, right now boogie
That thing, my balls
Come on put it on me bitch
Hit me with the humdrum boogie
That thing, oh goodie
Come on put it on me bitch
I see my life flash before me
I hear all my favortie song at one time
(when she blow me) right before I actually go blind
I'm running back and forth though the door of (in and out of) my mind
(when she blow me) my favortie freak is so fine
To have her hum in performance, the show is enormous
Only two fans in attendance, these two in my pants
(my balls) she's my favortie, she's got my standing applause
Humming me into harmony, right through my balls
Come on put it on me bitch
Hit me with the humdrum boggie
That thing, oh goodie
Come on put it on me bitch
Right now, right now
Boogie, that thing, my balls
Come on put it on me bitch
Right now, right now
Boogie, that thing, my balls
Undo my belt, put down my drawers
Kiss my dick and hum my balls
Undo my belt, put down my drawers
Kiss my dick and hum my balls
And she can blow me there, I swear, right through the air
If I ain't really there, my balls do not care, my balls
Come on put it on me bitch
Hit me with the humdrum boogie
That thing, oh goodie
Come on put it on me bitch
Right now, right now
Boogie, that thing, my balls
Come on put it on me bitch
Hit me with the humdrum boogie
That thing, oh goodie
Come on put it on me bitch
Right now, right now
Boogie, that thing, my balls

(Bum)
Change, please? Christmas change.
(ABK)
Happy holidays y'all, give me a gift
Let me sing a little jingle while you drink that fifth (Jingle Bells)
Tell Santa that he better stop frontin'
That cookie eatin' mother fucker never leavin' nothin'
But this year I swear I won't let it happen
Sleighs, gifts and reindeer we Christmas jackin' (gimme that)
Surround sound, hot chocolate for days
Bumpin' through the neighborhood, actin' like we paid (look what we got)
We had to get him, it was just that time
J and I was fed up, and we wanted to shine (wanted to shine)
But now we got anything you ever wanted
Yeah, he was old but he had a fat wallet (cha-ching)
Only workin' one day a year
With a plush-red suit and a iced-out beard
Slingin' snow in the north pole to a bunch of fiends
Little guys with big ears that make toys for free
Santa Claus, I hate you because (I hate you Santa)
You gave me nothin', now I'm takin' yours (I'll take it)
(Violent J)
Uh, it was cold out, I seen a fat man comin'
I hid behind a chimney
And bust him in the skull with a bottle of Jim Beam
I rolled him off the roof and onto the driveway
And jumped in his sleigh ride and tried to fly away
Rudolph bossed off on me, he wouldn't move
I had to kick him in his ass, outta put him in groove
Take me to the hood, to all the poor little kids
This year, everybody about to get some good shit
We landed on a house, I went for the chimney
But the roof was feeble, I crashed through and smashed through the kitchen
table
Daddy came bustin' out the bedroom strapped
Third shot blew off my Santa hat, fuck that
I ran out the back door and I hopped a wall
Steady whistlin' for the reindeer, but they're like fuck off, then took off
I almost caught a slug in the ass, and became a ghost of Christmas past over
that shit (over that bullshit)
Santa Claus, I hate you because (I hate you Santa)
You gave me nothin', now I'm takin' yours (I'll take it)
Santa Claus, I hate you because (I hate you Santa)
You gave me nothin', now I'm takin' yours (I'll take it)
(ABK)
Dashing through the snow, smokin' lots of dro
Pullin' chicks with expensive gifts
Just to get that ho ho ho, you know what I mean
Don't get us wrong, we're gonna give to the kids
Super Santa's hookin' up all the little shits (here ya go)
And for the grown-up's, we gettin' to' up
A case of malt liquor, and a sack that makes ya throw up
(Violent J)
Santy Claus wears panty drawers
He never decked my halls, he can lick my balls
I got no chimney, but I left the door unlocked
Nothin' but pine needles and an empty sock
Thanks a lot and fuck off fatass
Why we need coats for kids if you so badass
Only rich boys get big toys from Santa
I waited all night in my pajamas mother fucker
(ABK)
Take your ass to bed. Fuck Santa Claus
Santa Claus, I hate you because (I hate you Santa)
You gave me nothin', now I'm takin' yours (I'll take it)
Santa Claus, I hate you because (I hate you Santa)
You gave me nothin', now I'm takin' yours (I'll take it)

Yeah, what's up, man?
ICP in this bitch
Ya know what I'm saying
All you bitches, man
Come over to my house
And I'ma take ya upstairs
And I'ma stick you with my wang
Ya know what I'm saying?
I stuck her with my wang
She hit me in the balls
I grabbed her by her neck
And I bounced her off the walls
She said it was an accident and then apologized
But I still took my elbow and blackened both her eyes
I stuck her with my wang
Bitchy bitchy hoe
I'd like to stick a Faygo bottle in her neden hole
I twist ya and turn ya, just to shake it up
Pop off the lid now it's shooting out her butt
I stuck her with my wang
She grabbed by me nuts
She told me that she loved me then commenced on the sucking
I tried to hold it back, but I nutted in her ear
When it dried up, the bitch couldn't hear
(Chorus)
I stuck her with my wang (He stuck her with his wang, yo)
I stuck her with my wang (He stuck her with his wang, then he hit the door)
I stuck her with my wang
I'm ringing dingaling
After I hit it, my boys will do the same
Bitches come in flocks when the carnivals in town
Suckin on my nuts, trying to be down
I stuck her with my wang
The freaky little slut
She wanted me to stick my finger in and out her butt
I asked the bitch why, she gave no reply
I went psycholistic and I stuck it in her eye
I stuck her with my wang
I hit it slow motion
I had the Ringmaster brew me up a love potion
I put it on her neden, I know this sounds insane
Her coochie started whistling and singing out my name
Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, stick me with your wang!
(Chorus X2)
I stuck her with my wang
I hit it chicken style
I hit up in Meijer's in the home improvement aisle
She called me Bob Vila when I stuck it in the place
I tied her legs behind her head and kicked her in the face
I stuck her with my wang
I took some Elmer's glue
I slapped it on her titties and I stuck her to the roof
And when I came back, I opened up the door
Her titties were so long they was draggin on the floor
I stuck her with my wang
A little two on one
I told her call a friend over, we can have some fun
I heard her knock knock, I'm finna get some stank
I opened up the door
Hi, I'm Frank
I kicked him in his ass (He kicked him in his ass, yo)
I kicked him in his ass (He kicked him in his ass then we fucked him up)
I stuck her with my wang (He stuck her with his wang, yo)
I kicked him in his ass (He kicked him in his ass then we fucked him up)
I stuck her with my wang
All kind of bitches, man
Ya know what I'm saying
Fat bitches, skinny bitches
Ugly bitches,
I stuck her with my wang
Bitches with hunchbacks
Bald-headed bitches
Motherfuckin
Nasty motherfuckin noodle-stank booty-wack bitches
I stuck her with my wang
All kind of motherfucking hoes, man
<@#Insane_Clown_Posse_Mental_Warp.txt#@>
Staring at the ceiling, the roof has a face
It's telling me I don't belong with the human race
He's askin me to join him, in eternal sleep
I give him my soul, my body he can keep
Reaching just above me , I see my pillow's there
But yet I have no head, my head is on the chair
I'm staing at my body, I look as if I'm weak
So give me back my soul, my body you can keep
Sitting on my lawn, tt's just before dawn
I listen to the screaming, another life is gone
I'm playing with the children, children of the dead
My mother say's their evil, my daddy he gives a shit
Their eyeballs are bloody, their skin is ever pale
Their askin me to follow, I shall, I shall
They dress me as a clown, I'm screamin as a loon
We dance upon the cemetery, underneath the moon
Here I come there I go, I'm a night walker
I'm starin at you sleepin through your window like a stalker
I'm taping on the glass, I lick it with my tongue
I notice that the house is vacant, I'm starin at no one
I must of fell asleep, I woke up on the floor
Underneath the carpet, underneath the boards
I'm gaged with a dead rat, I lay for many weeks
The rat comes back to life, and is chewing on my cheeks
Mental Warp
My brain is gone, my brain is gone
say no more my brain is gone (4x)
Coming is my helper, tangling my brain
Somethings wery wrong I can't describe this pain
I'm calling for my mother, I'm crawling up the stairs
My mothers laughing at me, and she's been dead for years
I'm falling down the stair case, tumble to the floor
I land up in the attic, next to the cellar door
I'm play with the pigons, they tell me many lies
They tell me I'll have wings if I let them peck my eyes
I hear a womans voice calling from the dirt
I plat my little seed, and slowly she will spurt
And now she is a tree, I hear the heart pound
I take her in my arems, and we make love to the sound
The wind is my ebony blowing evil thoughts
Carrying the demons soring with the hearts
I put it in my body, the wind will bring the rain
Only lay it's demon egg, deep inside my brain
They're calling me a killer, I can't say that I'm not
My daddy's tried to kill me ever since I was a tot
By poisoning my bottle, I feed it to my friend
'cause if he dies my buddy our friendship will never end
I'm sitting with the darkness, talking to the dark
It's singing lullabies, and stringing on the harp
I notice that the floor is warm and rather sick
It's 'cause I'm sitting in my stomach
Mental Warp
My brain is gone, my brain is gone
say no more my brain is gone (8x)

<@#Inside_Out_Grandmas_Note.txt#@>
I read a note my grandma wrote
Back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat
And he showed once to me
He said now son you might not understand
But a long long time ago
Gandma's daddy didn't like me none
But I loved your grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet
And run away together
Get married in the first town we came too and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said:
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
'Cause between now and then, till I see you again
I'll be loving you, love me
I read these words just hours before
My grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church where me and grandpa stop to pray
I know I've never seen him cry
In all my 15 years
But as he read these words to her
His eyes filled up with tears
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
'Cause between now and then, till I see you again
I'll be loving you, love me
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
'Cause between now and then, till I see you again
I'll be loving you, love me
<@#Inside_Out_Innocence.txt#@>
Innocence, Simplicity of youth.
Not a care in the world,
But more charity than you could ever ask for.
I wanna run and I wanna shout and I wanna play your game.
I wanna know what you're about will you please stay with me.
(Chorus)
'Cause I feel like a child again,
And you are my best friend.
And I know that we can live forever.
Stay with me, there's no end.
Immortality, drink from the fountain of youth.
Take an extra sip for me, I'm gonna need it.
I'll take another dip with you.
'Cause I'm dreaming dreams and I'm seeing things I ain't ever seen before.
I'd scorn to change my place with kings ... I couldn't ask for more.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I'm dreaming dreams and I'm seeing things I ain't ever seen before.
I'd scorn to change my place with kings ... I couldn't ask for more.
Eternity feels like forever to me.
But if we're gonna live forever, I'll live for you, you live for me.
We've had our ups, we've had our downs, and we've seen brighter days.
If this is love, let's work it out. Will you please stay with me.
(Chorus Twice)
<@#Inside_Out_Somebody.txt#@>
I want somebody to share, share the rest of my life,
Share my innermost thoughts, know my intimate details.
Someone who'll stand by my side, and give me support.
And in return, she'll get my support.
She will listen to me, when I want to speak,
About the world we live in, and life in general.
Though my views may be wrong, they may even be perverted,
She'll hear me out and won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking, in fact she'll often disagree,
But at the end of it all, she will understand me.
want somebody who cares for me
Passionately,
With every thought and with every breath.
Somebody who will help me see things in a different light
All of the things I detest I will almost like.
I don't won't to be tied to anyone's strings.
I'm carefully try to steer clear of those things.
But when I'm asleep I want somebody
Who will put their arms around and kiss me tenderly.
Though things like this make me sick.
In a case like this, I'll get away with it.
And in a case like this, I'll get away with it.
Tenderly.

In my mind I see a mirage on the wall,
But unfortunately it's not there at all.
So I guess I'll draw my mirage on the wall,
Then it can be here to see and enjoyed by all.

Then all of the beautiful people that come to our home,
They'll be seeing you too.

Real fright's the story of a maddening darkness,
It leaves your hands and your face real tight,
Your mind starts to wander while your body starts shaking,
Your mouth feels dry as your bones start aching.
You want to know the pattern has has gripped your life,
Your heart starts pounding while you're breathing real fright,
A face chalk white that starts the sight,
Ears hear the sounds of real fright.

Well, she became aware of the fact
That I was running round

There's a soldier here today
But she don't bear steel in anywhere
She's like a bow
Seeking a wooden arrow
Pointing the way to love
We all know how we can hate
Just as strong as we could ever love
We can love, we can love
God bless you, God
For Sending me a woman
Pointing the way to love
We gotta love a woman
There's a statue in the square
But the things they hadn't
It ain't fair, it ain't fair, Lord
The things they hadn't
Cause beneath the stone
The greatest Man is all alone
Without a woman to love
Without a woman to shove
Without a woman to point the way to love
We gotta love a woman

Listen to the clock beat as it ticks out time away,
And listen to the birds' laughter as they live for today,
And listen to the heart beat as it beats our lives away.
These are the things that we hear in our world,
And these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
In the time of our lives.
And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.
How you doing people that passed on yesterday?
Did you meet with justice on your judgement day?
These are the things that we hear in our world,
And these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
In the time of our lives.
And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.
Yes, to us,
Without a doubt they're real.
Without a doubt they're real.
Without a doubt they're real!

I get in from work at 2a.m.
And sit down with a beer
Turn on the late night t.v.
And then wonder why I'm here
It's meaningless and trivial
And it washes over me
And once again I wonder
Is this all there is for me
Here I am again
Look at me again
Here I am again
On my own
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here I am again
On my own
Life seems so pathetic
I wish I could live it all behind
This canvas chair, this bed,
These walls that fall in on my mind
Hold on for something better
That just drags you trough the dirt
Do you just let go or carry on
And try to take the hurt
<@#Iron_Maiden_Afraid_To_Shoot_Strangers.txt#@>
Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat
From my brow
But it's not the fear 'cause
I'd rather go now
Trying to visualize the horrors that
Will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground
When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime?
When it comes to the time
We'll be ready to die
God let us go now and finish what's
To be done
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy shall be done, on earth
Trying to justify to ourselves the
Reasons to go
Should we live and let live
Forget or forgive
But how can we let them go on this way?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's
No other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers

Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear
I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home
Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all
Close this mind dull this brain, Messiah before his fall
What you see is not real, those who know will not tell
All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now
Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh
Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth
You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world

In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home

We shall go on to the end.
We shall fight in France
We shall fight over the seas and oceans.
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.
We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be
We shall fight on beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds,
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
We shall fight on the hills.
We shall never surrender.

Como esta amigo
For the death of those we don't go
Shall we kneel and say a prayer
They will never know we care
Shall we keep the fires burning
Shall we keep the flames alight
Should we try to remember
What is wrong and what is right
No more tears, no more tears
If we live for a hundred years
Amigos no more tears
And if we do forget them
and the sacrifice they made
Will the wickedness and sadness
come to visit us again
Shall we dance the dance in sunlight
Shall we drink the wine of peace
Shall our tears be of joy
Shall we keep at bay the beast
Inside the scream is silent
Inside it must remain
No victory and no vanquished
Only horror, only pain

Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive
And some of us are here just so that we'll die
How come the bullet hits the other guy
Do we have to try and reason why

Be it the devil or be it him
You can count on just one thing
When the time is up you'll know
Not just one power runs the show
Are we the lucky ones saved for another day
Or they the lucky ones who are taken away
Is it a hand on your shoulder from the lord above
Or the devil himself come to give you a shove
[Chorus]
A volcano erupts and sweeps a town away
A hurricane devastates the cities in its way
The grief and misery for the ones that are left behind
The worst is yet to come a hell to face mankind

As the sun breaks, above the ground,
An old man stands on the hill,
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still.
His eyes are ablaze,
See the madman in his gaze.
Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly and touch the sun.
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly.
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream,
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave.
Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly and touch the sun.
YEAH!
Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun.
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly, touch the sun.
On your way, like a... eagle,
Fly.
Fly as high as the sun.

I'm running out of my time
I'm running out of breath
And now it's getting so
I can't sleep at night
In the day, feel like death
I'm getting in far too deep
I feel them closing in
I've got to say that I'm scared
I know they'll win
Even so, I'm prepared
Do you believe, what you hear
Can you believe, what you see
Do you believe, what you feel
Can you believe
What is real?
Futureal
What is real?
Futureal
Whenever anyone seems
To treat me like a freak
It makes me see I'm the
Only one who feels
That I know what is real
Sometimes it feels like a game
Of deadly hide and seek
And when you're reading this
Then I'll be gone
Maybe then, you will see

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
Cause at 5 o'clock, they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low, yeah!
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be that there's some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
The words escape me when I try to speak
Tears flow, but why am I crying
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me go?
As I walk my life drifts before me
Though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
Mark my words, believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion.
Yeah hallowed be thy name
Yeah hallowed by thy name
Yeah

Lights out
We live in a world
Of darkness
No doubt
Everything's up for sale
We sleep
All of the world is burning
We pray
To god for a better deal
Nothing is sacred
Back then or now
Everything's wasted
Is that all there is?
Can I go now?

Whispers in the night

Fight wars
Die in a blaze of glory
Come home
Meat in a plastic sack
Fall down
Better pray to your God
For mercy
So kneel
And help the blade cut clean
Nothing is sacred
Back then or now
Everyone's wasted
Is that all there is?
Is that it now?
I live in the black
I have no guiding light
I'm whispering in your dreams

Whispers in the night

The freeway is jammed
And it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don't get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step get closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven are they looking down
Cause nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
He's sick of waiting of lying like this
There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss
Branded a leper because you don't fit
In the land of the free
You can't live by your wits
Once he built missiles a nation's defence
Now he can't even give birthday presents
Across the city he leaves in his wake
A glimpse of the future a cannibal state
<@#Iron_Maiden_Massacre.txt#@>
At a point below zero
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Were killed like sleeping buffalo
Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit is forced to yield
There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but doesn't care though
In fact, he doesn't care at all
The general that's commanding
He's defending what he fears
While the troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear
If God is in the heavens
How can this happen here?
In His name, they used the weapons
For the massacre
There is a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead in the sand

The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night
The wisdom of ages, the lies and outrages concealed
Time it waits for no man
My future it is revealed
Time it waits for no man
My fate is sealed
If I cancel tomorrow the undead will thank me today
Fly in the face of your prophets I mock your morality plays
The moon is red and bleeding
The sun is burned and black
The book of life is silent
No turning back
[Chorus:]
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Mystery madman a victim of cruel charade
Some innocent pawn in an end game one more stalemate
Is death another birthday?
A way to kiss your dreams goodbye?
Do the undead live within us
And look through our eyes?
Walking on water are miracles all you can trust
Measure your coffin does it measure up to your lust?
So I think I'll leave you
With your bishops and your guilt
So until the next time
Have a good sin
[Chorus]
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths to hell
Seven downward slopes
Seven bloodied hopes
Seven are your burning fires
Seven your desires...

I've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask.
And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last.
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past.
You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall.
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all.
Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul.
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerizing cat call.
Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait.
Don't you stray, don't fade away.
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may.
Don't you stray, from the narrow way.
I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there.
You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare.

Oh help me Lamia or I'm sure I'll die, oh please.
I feel unsettled, now I know that I've done wrong.
I've messed around with mystic things and magic for too long.
I feel I'm being paid with this nightmare inside me,

I'm on my knees, oh help me please.
I'm on my knees, help me please.
Oh Lamia please try to help me.

Fantasies lived times before.
I split my brain, melt through the floor.
Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why.
My body tries to leave my soul.
Or is it me, I just don't know.
Memories rising from the past, the future's shadow overcast.
Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led.
Oh another time, another place.
Oh another smile on another face.
When you see me floating up beside you,
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.

Unchain the colors before my eyes,
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies.
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher,
I shall return from out of fire.
Tears for remembrance, and tears for joy,
Tears for somebody and this lonely boy.
Out in the madness, the all seeing eye,
Flickers above us, to light up the sky.
Unchain the colours before my eyes,
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies.
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher,
I shall return from out of fire.
<@#Iron_Maiden_Rime_Of_The_Ancient_Mariner.txt#@>
Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea.
And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale.
Driven south to the land of the snow and ice
To a place where nobody's been
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross
Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings.
And the ship sails on, back to the North
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on.
The mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what he's done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime.
Sailing on and on and north across the sea
Sailing on and on and north 'til all is calm.
The albatross begins with it's vengeance
A terrible curse a thirst has begun
His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner
About his neck, the dead bird is hung.
And the curse goes on and on at sea
And the curse goes on and on for them and me.
"Day after day, day after day,
We stuck nor breath nor motion
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and
All the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink."
There calls the mariner
There comes a ship over the line
But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide?
She... onward she comes
Onward she nears out of the sun
See, she has no crew
She has no life, wait but here's two.
Death and she life in death,
They throw their dice for the crew
She wins the mariner and he belongs to her now.
Then, crew one by one
They drop down dead, two hundred men
She, she, Life in Death.
She lets him live, her chosen one.
"One after one by the star dogged moon,
Too quick for groan or sigh
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang
And cursed me with his eye
Four times fifty living men
(And I heard nor sigh nor groan)
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump,
They dropped down one by one."
The curse it lives on in their eyes
The mariner he wished he'd die
Along with the sea creatures
But they lived on, so did he.
And by the light of the moon
He prays for their beauty not doom
With heart he blesses them
God's creatures all of them too.
Then the spell starts to break
The albatross falls from his neck
Sinks down like lead into the sea
Then down in falls comes the rain.
Hear the groans of the long dead seamen
See them stir and they start to rise
Bodies lifted by good spirits
None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes
And revenge is still sought, penance starts again
Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on.
Now the curse is finally lifted
And the mariner sights his home
Spirits go from the long dead bodies
Form their own light and the mariner's left alone.
And then a boat came sailing towards him
It was a joy he could not believe
The pilot's boat, his son and the hermit,
Penance of life will fall onto him.
And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea
And the hermit shrives the mariner of his sins.
The mariner's bound to tell of his story
To tell this tale wherever he goes
To teach God's word by his own example
That we must love all things that God made.
And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man
And the tale goes on and on and on.
<@#Iron_Maiden_The_Duelists.txt#@>
He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.
CHORUS
OH...OH...Fight for the honour
Fight for the splendour
Fight for the pleasure
OH...OH...Fight for the honour
Fight for the splendour
Fight for your life!
Ready to start the duel begins the best man wins in the end.
A lunge and a feint, a parry too late
A cut to the chest and you're down
Seeing the stain then feeling the pain
Feeling the sweat on your brow.
CHORUS
The fighting resumes, a silence looms the swordsmen move 'gainst each
other
A cut and a thrust, a parry, a blow, a stab to the heart and you're down
The Angel of Death hears your last breath
Meanwhile the Reaper looks on.
CHORUS
OH...OH...Fought the honour
Fought for the splendour
Fought for the pleasure
OH...OH...Fought for the honour

Fought to the death
<@#Iron_Maiden_The_Loneliness_Of_The_Long_Distance_Runner.txt#@>
Tough of the track,
With the wind,
And the rain that's beating down on your back.
Your heart's beating loud
And goes on getting louder
And goes on even more till the sound
Is ringing in your head,
With every step you tread,
And every breath you take,
Determination makes
You run,
Never stop,
Gotta win, gotta run till you drop,
Keep the pace,
Hold the race,
Your mind is getting clearer,
You're over halfway there but the miles
Just never seem to end
As if you're in a dream,
Not getting anywhere.
It seems so futile.
Run, on and on,
Run, on and on,
The loneliness of the long distance runner.
I've got to keep running the course,
I've got to keep running and win at all costs,
I've got to keep going, be strong,
Must be so determined and push myself on.
Run over stiles, across fields,
Turn to look at who's on your heels,
Way ahead of the field,
The line is getting nearer but do
You want the glory that goes,
You reach the final stretch,
Ideals are just a trace,
You feel like throwing the race,
It's all so futile.
Run, on and on,
Run, on and on,
The loneliness of the long distance runner.

She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call.
But when she stares at me, she can't see nothing at all,
Because, you see, I can't take no shape or form.
It's been three long years since I've been gone.
I can't get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry.
I'll never know the reason why I had to go.
Oh, oh, I'm crying,
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me.
Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me?
Ah can't you see me?
I'm looking forward to her spirit coming over to me.
I feel tempted to bring her over to see just what it's
Like to be hanging on the other side.
I feel so lonely, it's a long time since I died.
I try to show her that she's never gonna be alone,
Because my spirit is imprisoned in the twilight zone.
Oh, oh, I'm crying,
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me.
Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me?
Ah can't you see me?

Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
Blue skies

Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on

I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile, that's exactly what I do

[1st verse:]
As a child I went wild when a band played
How I ran to the man when his hand swayed
Clarinets were my pets, and a slide trombone I thought was simply
Divine
But today when they play I could hiss them
Ev'ry bar is a jar to my system
But there's one musical instrument that I call mine
[chorus:]
I love a piano, I love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
Upon a piano, a grand piano
It simply carries me away
I know a fine way to treat a steinway
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories
And with the pedal I love to meddle
When padarewski comes this way
I'm so delighted if I'm invited
To hear that long haired genius play
So you can keep your fiddle and your bow
Give me a p-i-a-n-o, oh, oh
I love to stop right beside an upright
Or a high toned baby grand
[2nd verse:]
When a green tetrazine starts to warble
I grow cold as an old piece of marble
I allude to the crude little party singer who don't know when to pause
At her best I detest the soprano
But I run to the one at the piano
I always love the accomp'niment and that's because

The day when you'll say, I love you.
<@#Irving_Berlin_Louisiana_Purchase.txt#@>
Louisiana purchase, I'll tell you what it means
It means I'd like to sell you New Orleans
Come on, come on
And you all can go to town way down in New Orleans
Louisiana salesman with nothing in his jeans
That's why I'd like to sell you New Orleans
Come on, come on
And do all the things there are to do in New Orleans
Where does that heat come from?
That rhythmic beat come from?
And that red meat come from?
New Orleans
Louisiana purchase, I told you what it means
So won't you let me sell you New Orleans?
Come on, come on
And you all can go to town way down in New Orleans
<@#Irving_Berlin_Remember.txt#@>
One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret
One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget
One little heartache left as a token
One little plaything carelessly broken
Remember the night
The night you said, "I love you"
Remember?
Remember you vowed
By all the stars above you
Remember?
Remember we found a lonely spot
And after I learned to care a lot
You promised that you'd forget me not
But you forgot
To remember
[2]
Into my dreams you wandered it seems, and then there came a day
You loved me too, my dreams had come true, and all the world was
May
But soon the Maytime turned to December
You had forgotten, do you remember?
<@#Irving_Berlin_White_Christmas.txt#@>
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white
And may all your christmases be white (All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be white (All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be
(All your christmases be white)

<@#Irving_Berlin_Who_Do_You_Love,_I_Hope.txt#@>
I've got the question
I've had it for days
You've got the answer, dear
I'll put the question
In one little phrase
Say what I want to hear
Who do you love I hope
Who would you kiss I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me
Who do you want I hope
Who do you need I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me
Is it the baker who gave you a cake
I saw that look in his eye
Is it the butcher who brought you a steak
Say that it is and I'll die
Who do you love I hope
Who would you kiss I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me
[2]
I heard your question
The answer you know
Love is my middle name
You asked a question
That worried you so
Mind if I do the same
Who do you love I hope
Who would you kiss I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me
Who do you want I hope
Who do you need I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me
Is it the blondie who acted so shy
I heard the things that she said
Is it the redhead who gave you the eye
Say that it is and your dead
Who do you love I hope
Who would you kiss I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me

I'm your brother, don't you know

And destiny, girl, I know it must be fate

You're all I need

But the words don't do you justice, girl

Wounded heart and the wounds were still open
That's the way You found me
That's the way You found me
Turn the page by Your hand
Yesterday washed away as You write in the sand
My accusers, where are they?
One by one in the silence they all walk away
And I will worship You for all that You are
And all You've done for me
As long as I live I'll sing
I'll sing redemption's song
Weeping comes in the night
But there's joy, blessed joy in the morning sky
Now that I, I belong
To the One who has given the words to the song
And I will freely sing of all that You are
And all You've done for me
As long as I live I'll sing
I'll sing redemption's song
Sing redemption's song
All that You are and all You've done for me
As long as I live I will sing
I will sing redemption's song
I was lost, I was desperate and broken
That's the way You found me
That's the way You found me
That's the way You found me
That's why I love You
That's why I love You
That's why I love You
That's why I love You

Yea, n-gga
I'm gon ahead and murder this sh-t
Voice gone and sh-t, I think it's gonna make it sound a little ill, just a
little iller
Yup, Fayettenam, n-gga
Yea, Carolina blue kicks pedal to the medal
Feeling like a puppet and the devil is Geppetto
Letter to the ghetto-hold ya head high
You can pick apart my raps I ain't told ya na' lie
I want a little darker, like to f-cking tan line
Go on, look for a better n-gga, girl you can't find
Fine young man with an old man mind,
No time for the tickle, f-ck the whole mankind
Aw no ma'am, I'm an old land mine
I been waiting to blow up for a long damn time, now I'm armed and I'm-
Fayettenam's finest, Carolina saviour, marijuana blazer
Only on occasion cause my mind be racing
Lost in my thoughts so my eyes be Asian
Thinking how these rap n-ggas got to be faking
Whole style obviously copied, pasted-plagiarized swag
May arrived last but when it's all said and done I'ma be ahead of them
Way that I describe it, prescribe a n-gga medicine
Way that I be fly-I be higher than the Jet-e-sons
Moving on up, n-gga higher than the Jeffersons
All about the Benjamin's, bad chicks send em' in!
Basic hoes toss em out! Can't even get waffle house
Hating n-ggas chalk em out! Go and get the coffin out
What chu talking bout?
Little man, my sh-t hair burning you not even a little tan
I'm I'll enough to kill cancer, baby I'm Chemo
Down in Miami, and I throw like Marino
Get a whole lot of you know, and she bald like an eagle.
No, not up top, but down there
She said she want to hop on top girl I don't care
You better get yours before I reach mines cause then I'm throwing peace signs
If you a freak I can take you to ya peak, girl I do it to the maxima-Nissan
And I hope you a believer
I'm quarterbacking trynna get cha open like receivers
Far from an overnight achievers, Cole is like the leader of the new n-ggas!
To tell the truth, I'm only f-cking with a few n-ggas, if that!
The rest of ya'll n-ggas get lapped
I sit back, and reflect on the rap game I came from out of no where
N-gga, I swear them lames ain't know how to prepare
Got n-ggas shouting out "The Ville-I got to go there! "
Boy, don't you know you get shot over there?
I say my prayers cause this life ain't fair,
A bunch of backstabbing n-ggas hope the knife ain't there
A bunch of temptation facing when your wife ain't there
Yea late at night, when I got the phone call and made her right
When my crib was straight ahead, shorty gave me head, hit it then I quit it
'fore she even made the bed
Damn I'm no good
But damn it's so good
I'm picturing that body like a camera phone would
Something like Rihanna while I'm up in that vagina
Type of chick that only dress in something that's designer
I could give a f-ck long as there's something that's behind her
Got the type of bump that make a dog want to hump her
Back to the topic-actually forgot it
Hoes, money, I'm the shit... Oh yea I'm reminded
The way I put the words together cleverly align them
These other rap n-ggas shouldn't never be a problem
And I'm ghost
<@#J_Cole_Cant_Get_Enough.txt#@>
Cole World, South side
Can't get enough, can't get enough
East side, West side, worldwide, ride out
Now I ain't got no kids yet,
But this right here's for practice
I hate to get the seats in the Benz wet,
But that's how good your ass is
Make an old man get his glasses,
Make Wesley pay his taxes
Then follow your moves all week on Twitter,
Probably make a gay nigga reconsider
You now rocking with the best man,
Dress game down to the sex game
Won't brag, but the boy been blessed mane,
Let you play with the stick, Ovechkin
She calling, she texting,
She's falling, but let me explain
Gotta tell your old boyfriend skate girl
Cause a nigga don't play them ex games
Nope! Straight sexing no handcuff or arresting
And I ain't coming offa my last name
Cause I really can't take no stressing
'Bout where I done been, who I done hit,
Your home girl saying, "He a bad boy"
But I'm signed to the Roc,
No time for the gossip, bitch, put down them tabloids
[Chorus]
She said, "I heard you got a main chick, a mistress and some hoes
You be up to no good and everybody knows
My home girls tried to warn me, they tried to let me know
But what you got, I need a lot so I can't let you go"
She said, "I, can't get enough, can't get enough" (I need that)
"I, can't get enough, can't get enough" (I need that)
"I can't get enough of what you got, good God, you hit the spot
Tried to let go but I just could not, so don't you stop, I need that"
Hey, Globetrotter,
Cole hotter even way out in London town
Hoes holla 'cause they love my sound
And I got love for the underground
Kwali, Pimp C, H-town where Bun get down
Met a bad bitch that'll cut all night,
That'll suck all night, you just cut off lights
Almost missed my flight,
Tryna get my last little nut, all right?
She be down for whatever,
Whenever I wanna get up in the guts, all right?
Never fuss or fight,
On the grind tryna find this lettuce
I love it when you give me head,
I hate it when you give me headaches
[Chorus]
Hey, Cole World, baby, ain't nothing sunny
I see 'em hating, but it ain't nothing to me
I'm from the Ville, where they bang for the money
And carry fo' fives like change for a twenty
So what I look like scurred?
Them niggas over there look like nerds
Never mind that girl, let's make a track
I'll beat the pussy up, that's the hook right thurr
That's the hook, right thurr
There's the hook, right thurr
Never mind that, girl, let's make a track
I'll beat the pussy up, that's the hook right thurr

[J. Cole - Verse 1]
Strictly for the survivors
The 800 number dodgers
Boy, what I tell ya ass bout picking up that phone
When the number unknown
Tell them people I aint home
Half black learning white lies
Niggas broke her heart now she trying white guys
Too ashamed to bring around cause her homegirls'll clown like
"Girl I aint know you like 'em bitesize"
She embarrassed now
On edge cause she gotta meet his parents now
They probably think I'm no good for 'em
Too dark, too thick, too hood for 'em
Now she sitting at the dinner table wondering what I'm doing here
They got me feeling like a job interview in here
They asking questions about a 5 year plan
She saying "who I'm foolin', they could never understand"
They could never understand
[Amber of Dirty Projectors]
Look at me
I Just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free
I just wanna be (I just wanna be)
Look at me
I Just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free
I just wanna be
I just wanna dream
[J. Cole - Verse 2]
(fuck is that smell)
I smell bullshit, it must be an election year
The more I listen man the more you sound less sincere
Still I'm wathcing cnn tryna keep up
In my interviews maybe I should speak up
Tell the world how I feel like you lying all the time
And keep 'em niggas walking blind all the time
But the same niggas think I'm fucking dimes all the time
Like I'm walking round with money on my mind all the time
And I feed into it
I'd rather make tracks where I bleed into it
The singles only the look to sell these niggas the book
I can only pray that one day you'll read into it
If not, fuck it, I got my own problems
Fuck ya beats nigga I produce my own albums
I zone out, that old sound that I've grown out of
Was born out of being broke with hope
But it don't matter I'm on Saturn now and I won't shatter
As long as this blood grows in my bone marrow I'm gonna gather my thoughts
As sharp as a bow and arrow
Back when I had no dough and no apparrel
My flow's thorough, now I'm more aware of the? A nigga face
Loaded pistols with nickle plates, the nigga fake
That's why I call the shit a race
Tha gony of defeat, w ish the elite could get a taste
[Chorus:]
Look at me
I Just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free
I just wanna be (I just wanna be)
Look at me
I Just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free
I just wanna be
I just wanna dream

We're all together in the same boat
I know you, you know me

I'm a fool baby, fool yeah, uh
If I fuck up, forgive me
I'm a fool, I'm a fool, I'm a fool, yeah he,
Yeah, yeah
I'm a fool, hundred thousand for the jewels
Last year we killed the game
And left y'all browsing for the clues
Old niggas out here searching for that fountain of the youth
Money talks and hoes say it's... point of view
Don't make me act a fool like Malcolm before the suit
How can you justify, I testified and there's proof in it
Through out the years, she'd tears and spill truths
Somehow they love a nigga better
When he talk about is loot
Chain like a kaleidoscope, see light through a wider scope
And for I know this necklace really represents the news
Still I hit the jeweler, how much racks to make me cooler
I just play the game homie, I ain't making rules up
Started from the bottom, same way you lace your shoes up
So if I'm blowing cake, just blame it on the place I grew up
Where niggas had nothing but dreams and television
Got no plans of seeing hella prison
You can tell I'm living, right
I'm a fool
Never said I'm living right
Such a fool, for you!
Boy you a fool, boy you a fool
Boy you a fool, and they like
And they like, and they like
Boy you a fool, boy you a fool
Boy you a fool, and they like
And they like, and they like
Hey, I'm a fool, hunned thous to go to school
... debt me, and my mama dared me
Drowning in the pool
The first to go to college
They say knowledge is the truth
But these hoes on campus, make a young nigga drool
So we party skip class, get ass and talk cool
Meanwhile she back home work hard
I use that as my few
So I finally graduated,
But I'm sad to say it, I ain't learn a fucking thing
Except the game and how to play it
I'm a fool, no... on my shoes
No cuts out on prove
So fuck y'all reviews
She told me Cole I love you roll with you before the riches
But you way too educated to be calling women bitches
And calling brothers niggas
Pardon if I cross the line
But all the time thought you was different than
All them other niggas
I responded to her please don't put me on a pedestal
Cause I know better
And I'm still a fool
<@#J_Cole_Killers.txt#@>
Momma I just killed a man
My body still trembling can you feel my hand
Don't she'd no tears, it won't be long before they find out it was me momma
This may be the last time you see me free ma
Don't spend it cryin'
You did your best, me I was blessed, know you were stressed tryin'
To keep me out the streets, me ducking police
Tryin' not to make a peek to wake you up out your sleep
A drunk and high fool
Skip a class, fluncking high school
I know you taught me better, somehow I never learned
Said I was playing with fire, somehoe I never burned
You tried to set me straight, somehow I never permed
You tried to show me right but somehow I never turned
Lost in a cloud of marijuana, are you sane dummy
Dry your face mommy, your not to blame for me
See I'm a man, I gotta take whatever came for me
At times I wonder 'bout my father
Would it change for me if he was around?
Would I still be running round with the lowlife's
Bum ass n-ggas no jobs, no life
Seen them n-ggas killed for no price
I watched his life flash before his eyes like a strobe light
I pulled the trigger momma
Tryna be hard, I aint mean to kill the n-gga momma
But what's done is done
I'm on the run, I live my life like a movie now it's way too realer
Who woulda thought your baby boy woulda grew up to be a killer
Yeh, now I'm a killer
Guess I'm a killer
They got me in here with the killers
Yeah I mean the killers
I wonder what's in store for me
Lately been stressing, pray for blessings, hope that there's more for me
Than just a simple life
N-ggas that I used to hoop with is doing triple life
Gave up the jump shot
Work on the john shot
Who woulda thought I used to block this n-ggas lay ups
Now he's in a cell layed up
I wish you well, stay up
Like insomniacs
This life can make a n-gga fold like a laundry mat
I sip this cognac though to ease my brain from all this pain
And so that I react slow, in this fast world
Slow n-ggas, fast girls
Hoes give up ass while these ho n-ggas hold triggers
Blast on 'em
Hold up that old checker flag for 'em
Chalk lines by the do not park sign
It's deep, all these cold hearted n-ggas holding heat
I'd rather blast before they steal a n-gga
Tell 'em now boy, don't make me turn into a killer
Yeah, into a killer
Don't make me turn into a killer
Yeah, to a killer, yeh yeh
To those who had love for me in the past
Who woulda thought time would fly by so fast
I remember back in class we used to make believe
Like it was draft day
Swore that we would make the league, be rich
Saturday morning had to rake the leaves, awww shit
Watch how they pile up
Seem like a mile up
I was the blisters on my hand than I dial up my best friend
Skating ring is where we headed tonight
And if a n-gga disrespect, yes we ready to fight
In retrospect that shit seemed petty
At the time, the shit was heavy
Cause life was all about your name
You had to scrap with any n-gga that would call you lame
Ashamed no doubt, so many n-ggas go they brains blown out
Snatched a n-gga chain and he got his name rolled out in obituaries
Another body in a cemetary
Another young n-gga in the penetentiary
And he don't give a f-ck no missionary
Rap visionary, paint a picture n-gga pictionary
Tell you what it is, I'm a dictionary
I knew a n-gga that threw his d-ck in every chick in every city that he went
to
Went hard like the rent do
Till he met the wrong bitch, man just came home ex-convict
And he stay on with that thriller
Shit, f-cking around with them killers
Yeah, with them killers
F-cking around with them killers
Say I'm a killer
<@#J_Cole_Look_In_Da_Mirror_Remix.txt#@>
Six in the mornin' I'ma call Wale
Tell J. Cole to meet us down in the A
And bring Wiz Khalifa 'cause the green look pure
We some real niggas, we just lookin' in the mirror
I'm on fire, whole hood blazin'
Hustle game incredible, ice game amazin'
Look in the mirror, look in the mirror
Look in the mirror, look in the mirror
Look like a chandelier, look in the mirror
Ice super clear, you lookin' in the mirror
Who you heard see, when you look in the mirror
If you a real nigga you lookin' in the mirror
D.C. all up in this bitch, 'bout time I got my respect
And now these hoes are on my line like Sally Mae on college deck
Gotti here I'm in this shit, hey J. Cole come here this shit
I bet you hear that white music but I don't mean top 40 hits
Talk to the mirror and I don't need a cure
And when I'm done with this muthafucker
It'll need a urn shoppin' I'll be in Paris
You plottin', don't even worry
You walk in my closet your favorite style is some beaten birds
You out where? We don't ever see ya
My niggas out here they spot me like Chippy D.
And I'm probably smokin' reefer till I got that emphysema
How else can I emphasise I'll only let the mirror see ya
It go microphone check, one, two, yola
Two chains, two guns, he bipolar
Two baby mama's, three kids, two Rovers
That's too many problems, too late to think over
The cars off the showroom, clothes off the mannequin
Hoes off the centerfold, I be going ham at ten
One bitch from Howard, another bitch from Grambling
College girl goin' wild and Gotti be the camera man
Bird talk feather man, Louis jacket, leatherman
Fresh to death that bullshit irrelevant
Man in the mirror if I can't get my shot again
My bitch like a Coke bottle, yo' bitch like a Pepsi can
I'm on fire, whole hood blazin'
Hustle game incredible, ice game amazin'
Look in the mirror, look in the mirror
Look in the mirror, look in the mirror
Look like a chandelier, look in the mirror
Ice super clear, you lookin' in the mirror
Who you heard see, when you look in the mirror?
If you a real nigga you lookin' in the mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall, bitch I was born to ball
While y'all took the summer off, my money did a somersault
Backflips, cartwheels, Carolina Tar Heel
Ain't no nigga touchin' my style it got a forcefield
Magneto, blew up like a torpedo
The view from my condo be makin' hoes say neato
Game strong like the arm on Marino
I stack Cheetos and Doritos like casinos
Fresh to death like I'm buried in a tuxedo
At times I look in the mirror to boost my fuckin' ego
I say it's yo' world, Cole World to be exact
With a flow that's so thorough
No sir, you can't reenact, nigga
Hundred fifty on my chain, ballin' but it's not a game
High that's why they call us planes
All the bitches know my name
I take 'em home fuck her, get high and never call again
And my niggas all the same, now that's what you call a game
Hundred thousand dollars and that's on champagne
Bitches choose and they excuses my new car's to blame
Wanna dump her nigga, fuck a nigga, with a lot of fame
Don't want nothing from a nigga he all kinds of lame
Try doin' what I'm doin' but it's out of range
Niggas takin' shots, don't know how to aim
Don't know 'bout you but I see a real nigga
When I'm lookin' in the mirror with some diamonds in my ear
Motherfucker
I'm on fire, whole hood blazin'
Hustle game incredible, ice game amazin'
Look in the mirror, look in the mirror
Look in the mirror, look in the mirror
Look like a chandelier, look in the mirror
Ice super clear, you lookin' in the mirror
Who you heard see, when you look in the mirror?
If you a real nigga you lookin' in the mirror

[Intro:]
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(La da da da da)
[Hook:]
I tried, you tried, we tried
All of the times that we had together
We should of known nothing last forever(X2)
[Verse 1: J. Cole]
When this shit end, man it's gon get ugly
Real real ugly, your grandmama love me
And your mama love me, little sister hugs me
Even got a few homegirls that wanna fuck me
Soon as this shit end, forget about it
You been stayin' in my crib, you gotta get up out it
Cause if you layin' in my bed, let's admit about it
One time fuckin' and we no longer upset about it
Cause when this shit ends it's either all or nothin'
I thought you loved me, how the hell you gon call ya cousin?
You know the diesel ass, half slow, evil ass
Nigga in that Honda showin' up with that drama
On my mama, we been through it all
From the goods to the bads, rise to the fall
You done seen me at my best, seen me at my worst
So when this shit ends, know it's gon hurt
[Hook:]
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
They say we won't last
I know you suspicious, but you don't ask
And I don't tell, that's where we both fell
A good nigga gone bad
Good chick a lil mad as fuck, she done had enough
I be, out here tryna raise my status up
But success bring bitches, and they bad as fuck
Ass fat as fuck, with a little ol' waist
I ain't want the whole meal, just a little ol' taste
Should have looked both ways fore I crossed you
I guess I never thought I could have ever have lost you
Now I'm out stuntin' with this bitch, you ain't about nothin'
While some nigga learnin' all the shit I taught you
Damn, guess you deserve that, a new start
But deep down you know we grew apart
Long before I broke your heart, if I lost your respect
I'm just hopin' you don't look at me as you somethin' you regret
[Hook:]
[Verse 3: J. Cole]
I got your message I been meanin' to respond, know it's been awhile
Apologies, I ain't been around
I wanna kick it, but I know that shit is different now
And times have changed
Let me know if I'm out of bounds, are the lines the same?
I mean ya, lookin' good, yeah you still got it
Been reminiscin' and I'm not sure how I feel about it
Now we can say that all good things come to an end
But we know each other way too well to pretend
We went from friends to somethin' much more
To breakin' up to makin' up and fuckin' once more
Second chances, we gave enough to finally
We gave it up, but some days I be wakin' up and wantin' one more
But what for? Maybe it's just the weather
We break each others heart's, so maybe it's for the better
Holler whenever, cause you always got a friend in me
And nothin' lasts forever, least we got these memories

Intro:
Just got off the phone my nigger smithy
Shit too real back home. Real
This for my niggers here, hold your head
I know shit rough but nigger we don't give up
We don't get mad nigger, we just get tough
We just get right nigger, we don't get left
Fuck what they said,
Cause what we learned coming up
You can't teach that shit
Like dealer nigger blows but we eat that shit
This one here's for my brothers we gonna beat that shit
Now, I say my prayers
I got, too many people in my head right now
So many that's in jail, or they're dead right now
One time for my nigger crag right now
He in the feds, damn the times change
And these stupid niggers talking 'bout crime pays
You can keep that shit, I just made a million
Call me when reach that shit
I ain't bragging, I'm just shedding some light
One time for my granny up would happen tonight
And a young boy from a show down in hampton
Told me that my song was the reason he beat cancer
Didn't know what to say, I just froze
Little too deep I suppose
But after a year of review
I figured it out it wasn't me
It was you nigger, congratulations
<@#J_Cole_See_It_To_Believe_It.txt#@>
The songs that I made in my bedroom and shit
Finally give a nigga leg room in this bitch
Yeah Cole World, make way for the chosen one
Aint nobody else I'd rather be, not even Oprah's son
Momma's youngest getting paper like the oldest one
We living better guess God felt he owed us one
Closets barely had no clothes in them
So you throw my niggas in hoopty', but we still bag hoes and them
These niggas give they heart and soul to them
I wonder if they know we doving them
Ass fat so when pinch 'em (pincher) like a Doberman
Run up on em politicing like Keith Olbermann
What's your name? Where ya from?
Ya got a dream? I'll sell ya one
Come and kick it with a nigga on his way to the top
Won't stop, won't stop
Hey and don't stop
Now if it don't jam the hoes wont rock
And if it aint crack then the fiends wont cop
And you wonder why a nigga got the shit you don't got
Gotta see it to believe it
Gotta see it to believe it
Gotta see it to believe it
And don't stop
Now if it don't jam the hoes wont rock
And if it aint crack then the fiends wont cop
And you wonder why a nigga got the shit you don't got
Gotta see it to believe it
Gotta see it to believe it
Gotta see it to believe it
There's so much pain on my brain I gotta jot it out
But as of late nigga, it aint been shit to pout about
I turn up the news, my blues seem petty
Cause my view of the city is incredible with no album out
I'm blessed nigga, I'm blessed
When I'm all alone these words just flow out of my chest
Turn 'em into poems, they worship, I'm the best
And though I'm taking long, they f-ck with me none the less
Yeah, enough sleeping, I put you niggas to rest
The only one saying shit is like a nigga got tourettes, (chyeah)
Unimpressed with you niggas
You the shit only cause I digested you niggas
But I digress, boy you bout as G as a f-cking tie dye vest
And your wifey is a bird even in her Prada dress
Want a nigga like me to come and get her out her nest (out her nest)
Like come and kick it with a nigga on his way to the top
Won't stop, won't stop
Hey, don't stop
Now if it don't jam the hoes wont rock
And if it aint crack then the fiends wont cop
And you wonder why a nigga got the shit you don't got
Gotta see it to believe it
Gotta see it to believe it
Gotta see it to believe it

[J. Cole]
They say anythings possible,
You gotta dream like you never seen obstacles
Chasing obscene profits so we ain't stopping for the red lights
Look in my rear view all I see is n-ggas headlights
Catch me if you can hoe
They try and sack me and I scramble
Look up in the sky you'll see exactly where I am bo
Hey, don't you see me man?
Making my wishes come true with no genie man
I got the keys to my beamer with no Beanie Man
I'm on these rich n-ggas ass no bikini man
I bring the real to the day the Lord free me man
Never imagined that the kids would wanna be me man
Eh, could it be that I give the hopeless broke kids, hope
Caught me walking through the mall, looking like he seen a ghost
Silly head to approach, what's up young blood
Aint it strange, a year ago today I was counting change
Yeah hopping trains up in New York city
Though I gotta thank God cause if you weren't with me
Than I surely woulda died
You can throw the fork in me
This my New Years resolution, dawg
No more Pork in me
Uh, I aint no Muslim though
Kuran butler I'm a wizard if he doesn't know
It's young Simba, I'm ballin' til the buzzard blow
You try and kick the shit I kick you gon stub your toe
Boy that's just how tough I go
See this is my life work
This shit you callin classic, I be like that mic work
Want you to feel something new, that's how a dike work
And ask me bout pressure, they wanna see my pipe burst
Not tonight n-gga
Not tonight n-gga
Yeah, hey
Hey, man, hey
Man, I rap so vicious but I talk so politely
Never met a baby momma, momma who don't like me
Met a couple baby fathers though they wanna fight me
I hit her til she snooze, like the news n-gga nightly
Send her back to you when she no longer excites me
No she bitter with this n-gga
Cause he aint quite me
One things for certain baby, you are a wifey
Two things for f-cking sure
I am not the husband thoguh
So run back to him while you still can
He sticking with his wife and kid, yeah that's a real man
I was ashamed all along and I still am
We let the lust interupt something real, damn
Girl we grown so you gotta play your own position
I wouldn't say that you a hoe, just made a hoe decision
Eh, you can blame it on the liquor like a prohibitions
We both know that's what you wanted girl
I know you listening
Hey
Girl I know you listening
Uh I know you listening
Hey, yeah
Shout out to the bootleggers who supply my shit
The fans online trying to find my shit
And to then-ggas listening but wont buy my sh-t
And catch me in the street wanna ride my d-ck
Y'all n-ggas is the worst, see me like
"J. Cole homie, can you sign my burnt CD"
N-gga please, an album ten dollars
You act like it's ten g's
This food for thought cost the same as 2 numbers three's
So at ease with that broke shit
We all tryna get a dollar boy, no sh-t
You know I feel ya pain, that's why I slang this hope sh-t
And give you lines that you rewind and think oh sh-t
These rappers talk a lot of money, cars and hoes sh-t
I give you that and a whole lot more sh-t
Than got richer and still rapping like I'm poor sh-t
You n-ggas thinnk you know sh-t, n-gga you don't know sh-t
Hoe bitch!
Yeah, Cole bitch!

<@#Jackson_Browne_Daddys_Tune.txt#@>
A dirty wind blows through the sky
And the autumn leaves cut loose and fly
Leave me watching
And wishing I could follow
Though among the regrets that I can't get by
There are just one or two
Unkind things I said to you
Daddy what was I supposed to do?
I don't know why it was so hard to talk to you
I guess my anger pulled me through
No sooner had I hit the streets
When I met the fools that a young fool meets
All in search of truth and bound for glory
And listening to our own heartbeats
We stood around the drum
Though it's fainter now
The older I become
Living your life day after day
Soon all your plans and changes
Either fail or fade away
Leaving so much still left to say
But Daddy I want to let you know somehow
The things you said are so much clearer now
And I would turn the pages back
But time will not allow
The way these days just rip along
Too fast to last, too vast, too strong
Somewhere something went wrong
Or maybe we forgot the song
Make room for my forty-fives
Along beside your seventy-eights
Nothing survives
But the way we live our lives
<@#Jackson_Browne_Enough_Of_The_Night.txt#@>
You used to stand on the tables
You used to shoot out the lights
You used to stop trucks on aisle 19
In your blue leopard tights
You got the vote of your high school
Most likely to exceed
But not likely to ever get enough
Enough of what you need
Enough of the night
Enough of the night
And now the carnival lights come down
The sounds of laughter recede
You sit and drink in this cardboard town
The fast lane gone to seed
You used to laugh about the damage done
But there was no way to know
How little distance you had actually come
And how far you'd have to go
It's tough to do baby, it's tough to make it
When the heart is naked
It's tough for you baby, it's tough for me too
Without all this pain to see through
Now I want to see you smile
You know how it's just been awhile
Don't allow another night to close
On your empty cup, you've had enough of those
Enough of the night
Enough of the night
You used to count on the miracles
The old shot in the dark
You used to wait for the setting sun
To help you hit your mark
You used to stand on the tables
You used to shoot out the lights
You dressed right out of the fables, baby
Like the Arabian Nights
But you were never the princess
More like the queen of the thieves
And my heart was never more than one of the many
A queen receives
It's tough to do baby, it's tough to make it
When the heart is naked
It's tough for you baby, it's tough for me too
Without this disdain to see through
Now, I want to see you smile
You know how, it's just been awhile
Don't allow another heart to pass
Beyond your reach, say baby not so fast, hey baby not so fast
You've had enough of the night
To fill the street with tears
You've had enough of those empty hours
To last a thousand years
Enough of the night
Enough of the tears
Enough of the night
Enough of the tears
Enough of the night
Enough of tears
She got enough of the night
She had enough of the tears, baby
She had enough of night
She got enough of, had enough of the night
She got enough of, bop bop baby
You got enough of night
You had enough of tears, bop bop bop
She got enough of
<@#Jackson_Browne_For_America.txt#@>
As if I really didn't understand
That I was just another part of their plan
I went off looking for the promise
Believing in the Motherland
And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed
And the safety of my own head
I went on speaking of the future
While other people fought and bled
The kid I was when I first left home
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
When the truth was known
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
It's in my blood and in my bones
By the dawn's early light
By all I know is right
We're going to reap what we have sown
As if freedom was a question of might
As if loyalty was black and white
You hear people say it all the time-
"My country wrong or right"
I want to know what that's got to do
With what it takes to find out what's true
With everyone from the President on down
Trying to keep it from you
The thing I wonder about the Dads and Moms
Who send their sons to the Vietnams
Will they really think their way of life
Has been protected as the next war comes?
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
Her shining dream plays in my mind
By the rockets red glare
A generation's blank stare
We better wake her up this time
The kid I was when I first left home
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite a sweet
When the truth was known
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
I can't let go till she comes around
Until the land of the free
Is awake and can see
And until her conscience has been found
<@#Jackson_Browne_Im_Alive.txt#@>
It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone
I look around my life tonight and you are gone
I might have done something to keep you if I'd known
How unhappy you had become
While I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following though
With my beautiful plans
Yeah now I'm rolling down this canyon drive
With your laughter in my head
I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
'cause those dreams are dead
And I'm alive
I want to go where I will never hear your name
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again
And I know I've been insane
When I think of places I could have been
But I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following through
With my beautiful plans
Standing here by the highway side
Watching these trucks blow by
Inches from my face
Yeah thinking 'bout the time I've wasted
And the pleasure we once tasted
Looking up and down this road
I've been here before
Can't be here no more
Yeah now I'm rolling down California five
With your laughter in my head
I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
'cause those dreams are dead
And I'm alive

Give us twenty minutes and we'll give you the world
We bring good things to life
The news you need from people you can count on
Doing what we do best
The heartbeat of America
Your true voice
You're in good hands
Now more than ever before
And in the flickering light and the comforting glow
You get the world every night as a TV show
The latest spin on the shit we're in, blow by blow
And the more you watch, the less you know
Beyond the hundred million darkened living rooms
Out where the human ocean roars
Into the failing light, the generations go
Heading for the information wars
Do people really spend millions upon millions
To make us think we care about the planet
At the same time polluting and looting the only world we've got
So they can maximize their profit?
People do.
The heartbeat of America
Your true voice
For the life of your business
It's everywhere you want to be
And there's a front row seat for the precious few
The latest war as a pay-per-view
Famine and disaster right in front of you
And the more you watch, the less you do
Beyond the hundred million darkened living rooms
Out where the human ocean roars
Into the failing light, the generations go
Heading for the information wars

(Jackson Browne)
[Unreleased Jackson Browne song, sung in concert a few times]
It wasn't me at your window, Baby.
It wasn't me at your door.
It must have been some other fool
With his heart in his hand,
Coming back for more.
I was there when you closed your eyes.
But it wasn't me when you came.
I just thought I heard you call my name.
You were there when I needed someone
With your warmth and your style.
I was back in the world again
And it was real for awhile.
I was ready for love to be coming,
But not for what love became,
And I thought I heard you call my name.
Call my name.
Now there was something only we knew together
Far too simple to explain.
Love smiled on us just like forever.
You're always leaving town.
First you come around.
Then you can't be found
It always brings me down.
There's nothing wrong with my heart, Baby.
There's nothing wrong with the world.
If a girl don't feel the same way I feel,
There's nothing wrong with the girl.
Maybe we were too different to love each other.
Maybe too much the same.
Anyway, I thought I heard you call my name.
Call my name.
Like you were drifting away down the river.
All my voices and curses in the pain
Love flows on just like forever.
You're always leaving town.
First you come around.
Then you can't be found
And it always brings me down.
Da da da da da
Da da da dum dum dum
Da da da
Ohhhh no no no no no no
Na na na na na
Just like forever.
Da da da da da
Just like forever.
Just like forever
<@#Jackson_Browne_Melissa.txt#@>
Melissa, I knew I just had to kiss ya
Heaven knows what I had in mind
When my eyes went blind
And you had to take me home
Because I could not find my way
Mimi, you make my glasses steamy
Heaven knows that I'll take a chance
On a girl from france
Just so long as we don't have to dance 'till dawn
Maybe baby I'm not so smart
But I know I'm not your brother
And the way you affect me
You needn't suspect me
Of falling in love with another
Daisy, your old man thinks I'm crazy
Heaven knows I used to go insane
When I heard your name
I knew what I was doin'
When I had my brain removed
Maybe baby I'm not so smart
I never claimed to be a thinker
But you gotta respect me
Cause the way you affect me
I'll never have to be a drinker
Bessie, my dreams of you are messy
Heaven knows I used to lie awake
And try to make my heart stop pounding
Long enough to take my rest
<@#Jackson_Browne_The_Light_From_Your_Smile.txt#@>
Oh the light from your smile
Can be seen for a mile
By travellers dark in their sorrow
If you want me to stay
Throw a smile my way
And I'll stay by your side 'till tomorrow
Woooah...
'cause all my battered dreams are shattered now
And I need all your beauty to warm me
In the time that I've known you
I've always shown you
That I could be captured in kindness
Now a storm's blowin'
Tomorrow I'm goin'
Well the sun takes away my blindness
Woooah...
Cause all my tattered hopes are shattered now
I wait for the future to touch me
Oh the morning is nearing
The clouds disappearing
The sun will be coming to guide me
Wherever I go
I want you to know
That I carry your smile beside me
Woooah...
The slowly shifting fog is lifting now
And I see the road I'll be taking
<@#Jackson_Browne_The_Word_Justice.txt#@>
A man stands up before his God and country
Raises his right hand and takes an oath
Swears he has acted in the line of duty
And he more than anyone wants to tell the truth
But there is a need to keep somethings a secret
Some weapons shipments, some private wars
In the future democracy will be defended
Behind closed doors
Now the men of Congress who convene to determine
If covert war is a business or a crime
Are the same men who routinely give their permission
For the shedding of blood in security's name
And there is a need to keep some things a secret
The names of some countries, the terms of some deals
And above all the sound of the screams of the innocent
Beneath our wheels
Does the word justice mean anything to you?
Are the features of a lie beginning to come through?
In the streets of America the children are buried
Caught in an avalanche of weapons and drugs
They live and they die in the bowels of a business
That disguised as a war between The Crips and The Bloods
And there is a need to keep some things a secret
The C.I.A. deals protecting the source
And the government policies directly connecting the drugs and our wars
Does the word justice mean anything to you?
As the battlefield comes home and democracy falls through
I am waiting for the time to come
When the word will be real for everyone
And not just a word but a thing that can be done
Justice must be won
Oh, oh, oh justice
Justice
Justice
Oh, oh, oh justice
Justice
<@#Jackson_Browne_Youre_A_Friend_Of_Mine.txt#@>
Striking out?
Well count me in
I'm gonna stand right by your side through thick or thin
Ain't no doubt
Gonna win
A walk through hell ain't bad compared to where we've been
Oh you can depend on me
Over and over...over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die
Years may come and go
Here's one thing I know
All my life
You're a friend of mine
That argument
I can't forget
We fought so hard I don't think I've recovered yet
The girls we knew
Who thought you were cool
I never introduced my favorite ones to you
Oh you can depend on me
Over and over...over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die
Years may come and go
Here's one thing I know
All my life
You're a friend of mine
Oh you can depend on me
Over and over...over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die
Years may come and go
Here's one thing I know
All my life
You're a friend of mine
Oh you can depend on me
I'll be fine
'Cause you're a friend of mine
Yeeaah

'Cause you're a friend of mine

Je t'aime encore means I love you still,
see'est pour toujours means I always will.
Tu me manquais trop means I missed you much,
Je fait ce qu'il faut means I'll do what I must.
Me voici a ta fenetre tous les gens me voient ici.
Here I am at your window darling
For all your people to see me.
Ananas laisse moi une fois laisse moi te voir,
Let me one more time, Ananas.
Ananas, I'm loping along, hoping you're home,
Open up and let me on in.
Maybe I rise and maybe I fall,
Maybe you lie underneath it all,
I ain't got nothing but for what you see,
Even my own heart don't belong to me.
Got your river running in my blood,
Got your fire burning in my heart.
You got me falling like a shooting star,
Just like some tragic work of art.
Ananas laisse moi une fois laisse moi te voir,
Let me one more time, Ananas.
Ananas, I'm loping along, hoping you're home,
Open up and let me on in.
Here I am at your window baby,
For all your people to see.
Howling like a dog in the moonlight,
Won't you have pity on me?
<@#James_Taylor_Another_Grey_Morning.txt#@>
When I feel as though my love is sinking down, the sun doesn't want to shine.
When it feels like she won't face another day, life is unkind, she's frozen in
time.
And here comes another grey morning. A not so good morning after all.
She says "well, what am I to do today with too much time and so much sorrow."
She hears the baby waking up downstairs.
She hears the foghorn calling out across the sound.
Repetition in the morning air is just too much to bear, and no one seems to
care.
If another day goes creeping by empty and ashamed,
Like an old unwanted memory that no one will claim.
The clouds with their heads on the ground, she's gonna have to come down.
She said "move me, move me, I'm locked up inside."
Well, I didn't understand her though God knows I tried.
She said "make me angry but just make me cry.
But no more grey morning, I think I'd rather die."
<@#James_Taylor_Baby_Buffalo.txt#@>
Are you there?
Can you hear me?
Somewhere near me?
In the morning,
Long ago,
Had to hold you so close,
Had to never let go.
Time on the river
Sliding on by.
Hard to believe,
Wink of an eye.
Where'd you go,
Baby Buffalo?
What's become
Of old Cotton Eyed Joe?
Hold up, lying low,
Long gone come
A summertime snow.
Talk to your doctor,
Making her rounds.
Ninety-six tears,
One thousand clowns.
There they are,
Shining bright.
True creation,
Pure delight.
They go on,
So do you.
On and on,
Maybe me too.
Long ago Baby Buffalo,
What's become
Of old Cotton Eyed Joe?
Hold up, lying low,
Long gone come
A summertime snow.
Hold on to now
Till you have to let go.
Easy through your fingers, ever so.
I'm just guessing,
I don't know.
Maybe it's a blessing,
I sure hope so.

Artist: James Taylor Lyrics
Song: Bittersweet Lyrics
No I don't know how to love you
The way you want me to
Coz everytime I try
Something always changes with you
First it's cold baby
And then there's too much heat
One minute I'm up in heaven
And the next I'm down in the street
Coz we got a love
That's bittersweet
I said we got a love
It's bittersweet
Sometimes when I'm with you
It's like you're just not there
When I look into your eyes
I see that thousand yard stare
Then you're back in love with me
Like you can't get enough
Rough into smooth
And the smooth back into the rough
Ohhhh help me now
We got a love
That's bittersweet
We got a love, oh darlin'
That's bittersweet
I don't know anybody
Anybody like you
I never met anybody
Could make me feel the way you do
I wish that I could love you
The way you want me to
So scared you'll pull out the rug
Darling if I do
It's cold it's cold
And now there's too much heat
One mnute I'm up in heaven
And the next, I'm walking the street
We got a love
That's bittersweet
You know we got a love
That's bittersweet
We got a love
That's bittersweet
You know, we got a love, oh darlin'
That's bittersweet.
Flamin' hot
Then not.
Ooooooooh, bitter memory
I said we got a love, oooh,
We got a love.

Take to the highway won't you lend me your name
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same
Mamma don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
But I could feel it
On a country road
Sail on home to Jesus won't you good girls and boys
I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice
But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels
And they're coming to set me free
I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when
But I can tell that it's bound to be
Because I could feel it, child, yeah
On a country road
I guess my feet know where they want me to go
Walking on a country road
Take to the highway won't you lend me your name
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same, child
Mamma don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
But I could feel it
On a country road
Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down
Walk on down, walk on down a country road
Country road

<@#James_Taylor_Down_In_The_Hole.txt#@>
Watch your head on that root,
Got to let your eyes adjust.
I'm sorry about your suit,
Can't do nothing about the dust.
Welcome down underground,
Hunker down a spell.
Gets to feel like home to me
Though I know it looks like hell.
Down in the hole, Lord,
It's deep and the sides are steep.
And the nights are long and cold,
Down in the hole.
Light and love and the world above
Mean nothing to the mole.
(Don't mean nothing to the mole.)
Never gets real hot down here,
Fifty five degrees.
It's always a little bit damp, I fear
But I've never seem to freeze.
Mushrooms and earthworms,
Fancy stuff to eat.
A world of quiet contemplation, oh, yes,
Just below the street.
Down in the hole, Lord,
It's deep and the sides are steep.
And the nights are long and cold,
Down in the hole.
Light and love and the world above
Mean nothing to the mole.
(Don't mean nothing to the mole.)
I'm in a hole since I lost my baby,
Living in a hole since I lost my girl.
Would you play in the moonlight,
Would you dance in the dirt,
come home way past daybreak,
Cockleburs all stuck in your shirt?
Come back home to twilight,
Come back home to me,
Subterranean river you are
Meets the molten sea.
Down in the hole, Lord,
It's deep and the sides are steep.
And the nights are long and cold,
Down in the hole.
Light and love and the world above
Mean nothing to the mole.
(Don't mean nothing to the mole.)

Took my baby to the hop last night,
What to my surprise,
When we got there she hit me
With the news right between the eyes
She said she couldn't do the cha, cha, cha.
I told her not to worry now,
They'd play some other dance,
But we sat there for an hour and a half
And we never got a chance
Cause every song they played
Was the cha, cha, cha.
I told her not to worry,
There's still one thing we can do,
Let me take you by your hand tonight,
I want to teach this dance to you.
I taught my baby how to cha, cha, cha.
We kept on dancing for an hour or two,
What do you think I'd see?
We hadn't practiced for a time or two around,
She was doing it better than me.
You know my baby loves to cha, cha, cha.
Everybody loves to cha, cha, cha.
Little children love to cha, cha, cha.
Everybody loves to cha, cha, cha.
Sam Cooke himself in the midnight hour.
Everybody loves to cha, cha, cha.

The sky was light and the land all dark,
The sun rose up over Central Park.
I was walking home from work, Gaia.
The petal sky and the rosy dawn,
The world turning on the burning sun.
Sacred wet green one we live on, Gaia.
Run, run, run, run said the automobile
And it ran, run for your life, take to your heels.
Foolish school of fish on wheels, Gaia, Gaia
Turn away from your animal kind,
Try to leave your body just to live in your mind.
Leave your cold cruel mother earth behind, Gaia.
As if you were your own creation,
As if you were the chosen nation.
The world around you, just a rude
And dangerous invasion, Gaia, Gaia, Gaia.
Someone's got to stop us now, save us from us Gaia, no one's gonna stop us
now.
We thought we ought to walk awhile,
So we left that town in a single file.
Up and up and up, mile after mile after mile.
We reached the tree line and I dropped my pack,
Sat down on my haunches and I looked back
Down over the mountain,
Helpless and speechless and breathless, Gaia.
Pray for the forest pray for the tree,
Pray for the fish in the deep blue sea.
Pray for yourself and for God's sake,
Say one for me, poor wretched unbeliever.
Someone's got to stop us now,
Save us from us Gaia,
No one's gonna stop us now.

Paris' rooftops were lovely to see
Switzerland's vertical landscape
Crossed my mind's eye just now
Canada's shoreline has been calling out to me
But it's been too long a time
Since last I crossed
That vast nantucket sound
Refrain
Hello old friend
Welcome me home again
Well, I've been away
But that's all over now
Say I can stay for October, now
Stay a while and play
Little dog david
I must look like a fool
I should've remembered
You'd be forgetting my smell, well
Give me a week or two to recapture my cool
I've got stories to tell
About how I snatched the devil's catch
And out ran the hounds of hell

<@#James_Taylor_Oh_Susannah.txt#@>
Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee,
And I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see.
It did rain all night the day I left, the weather was bone dry.
The sun was so hot I froze myself, Suzanne, don't you go on and cry.
I said, oh, Susannah, now, don't you cry for me,
As I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee.
Well I had myself a dream the other night when everything was still,
I dreamed that I saw my girl Suzanne, she was coming around the hill.
Now, the buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye.
I said, that I come from Dixie land, Suzanne, don't you break down and cry.
I said, oh, Susannah, now, don't you cry for me,
As I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee.
<@#James_Taylor_One_Man_Parade.txt#@>
Do believe I'm gonna clap my hands,
Think I might tap my feet.
Put together a one-man band,
Take a walk on down the street.
Have a one-man parade, nobody needs to know.
Cause I'm right good of holding on to secrets
And don't believe they show.
All I want is a little dog
To be walking at my right hand.
Taking a breeze just as free as you please,
Maybe checking out occasional garbage cans.
Talking bout a one dog, y'all,
Nobody's friend but mine.
Hey now, you can say he's looking kind of funky, But I do believe he suits me
just fine.
We were on the road again,
I was wondering what to do,
But Honalei, it was pouring down rain,
Baby she had the low down blues.
Hey now, I was looking for my walking cane
Trying on my highway shoes.
Thinking 'bout a one man parade, y'all,
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, hey.
I'm right good at holding on,
Holding on, holding on.
Honalei, it's raining.
Honalei, sure nough, it's raining, listen here.
Honalei, it's raining,
Honalei, it's raining muddy waters.
Thinking 'bout a one man parade, y'all,
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, hey.
I'm right good at holding on,
Holding on, holding on.

Out of sight of the light in the window.
His mind in his whiskey
And his body in a folding chair,
Far beyond repair.
I enter his vision,
He watches me look for my seat.
He makes his decision
And he stands to his feet,
Lord, it's a long way down.
It happened to me, wonderful sight.
Only for me, only for you.
It happened to be a light shining through
From one who was lost and found
Just like me and you.
Old man says, "Young man,
My you're looking pretty green,
Like a stranger to this kind of place.
Come sit at my table,
Come and look into my face,
I've got a story to tell.
There was a father and son,
But that was a long time ago.
And when the time came to run,
I just couldn't say no
So I left them behind."
It happened to me, wonderful sight.
Only for me, only for you.
It happened to be a light shining through
From one who was lost and found
Just like me and you.
We have seen it before
In times of great sorrow
That human compassion
Will flow from a well
That has long run dry.

Only for me, only for you.
It happened to be a light shining through
From one who was lost and found
Just like me and you.

The secret of life
Is enjoying the passage of time.
Any fool can do it,
There ain't nothing to it.
Nobody knows how we got
To the top of the hill.
But since we're on our way down,
We might as well enjoy the ride.
The secret of love
Is in opening up your heart.
It's okay to feel afraid,
But don't let that stand in your way.
'Cause anyone knows
That love is the only road.
And since we're only here for a while,
Might as well show some style.
Give us a smile.
Isn't it a lovely ride?
Sliding down, gliding down,
Try not to try too hard,
It's just a lovely ride.
Now the thing about time
Is that time isn't really real.
It's just your point of view,
How does it feel for you?
Einstein said he
Could never understand it all.
Planets spinning through space,
The smile upon your face,
Welcome to the human race.
Some kind of lovely ride.
I'll be sliding down,
I'll be gliding down.
Try not to try too hard,
It's just a lovely ride.
Isn't it a lovely ride?
Sliding down, gliding down,
Try not to try too hard,
It's just a lovely ride.
The secret of life
Is enjoying the passage of time.
<@#James_Taylor_Seminole_Wind.txt#@>
Ever since the days of old
Men would search for wealth untold
They'd dig for silver and for gold
And leave the empty holes
And way down south in the Everglades
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves
The eagles fly and the otters play
In the land of the Seminole
[Chorus]
So blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long lost friend
But I know who you are
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligators and the gar
And progress came and took its toll
And in the name of flood control
They made their plans and they drained the land
Now the glades are going dry
And the last time I walked in the swamp
I sat upon a Cypress stump
I listened close and I heard the ghost
Of Osceola cry
[Chorus]
<@#James_Taylor_September_Grass.txt#@>
Well, the sun's not so hot
In the sky today
And you know I can see
Summertime slipping on away.
A few more geese are gone,
A few more leaves turning red,
But the grass is as soft
As a feather in a featherbed.
So I'll be king and you'll be queen,
Our kingdom's gonna be
This little patch of green.
Won't you lie down here right now
In this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me now,
September grass.
Oh, the memory is like
The sweetest pain.
Yeah, I kissed the girl
At a football game.
I can still smell the sweat
And the grass stains.
We walked home together,
I was never the same.
But that was a long time ago,
And where is she now?
I don't know.
Won't you lie down here right now
In this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me now,
September grass.
Oh, September grass
Is the sweetest kind,
It goes down easy
Like apple wine.
Hope you don't mind
If I pour you some,
Made that much sweeter
By the winter to come.
Do you see those ants
Dancing on a blade of grass?
Do you know what I know?
That's you and me, baby.
We're so small
And the world's so vast,
We found each other
Down in the grass.
Won't you lie down here right now
In this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me now,
September grass.
Lie down, lie down, lie down, lie down.
Won't you lie down here right now
In this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me now,
September grass.
Won't you lie down here right now
In this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me now,

It was just after sunrise
And down by the sea
Down on the sand flats
Where nothing will grow
Come drumming and footsteps
Like out of a dream
Where the golden green waters come in
Just nine lucky soldiers had come
Through the night
Half of them wounded
And barely alive
Just nine out of twenty was headed for home
With eleven sad stories to tell
I remember quite clearly when I got out of bed
I said, oh, good morning what a beautiful day
<@#James_Taylor_Something_In_The_Way_She_Moves.txt#@>
There's something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
And if I'm feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.
It isn't what she's got to say
But how she thinks and where she's been
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound
I like to hear them best that way
It doesn't much matter what they mean
If she says them mostly just to calm me down
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
She has the power to go where no one else can find me
And to silently remind me
Of the happiness and the good times that I know, got to know.

In line, in line, it's all in line,
My ducks are all in a row.
They do not change, they do not move,
They have nowhere to go.
I've been talking to a friend of mine,
He says making money's just a waste of time.
He's a lazy gent, he don't pay no rent,
He's all bent out of shape from living in a tent.
It's hard to hear what he has to say cause Everyone around me is just the same
way.
More, more, Daddy gimme some,
Gimme some more, more, Daddy gimme some more.
Some kind of funny looking money machine it is, Saddest looking people that
I've ever seen.
Living in a hole, body and soul,
Strung out on the company dole.
One for a nickel and two for a dime,
Time may be money but your money won't buy time.
In line, in line, it's all in a line,
My ducks are all in a row,
They do not shift, they do not move,
They have nowhere to go.
Me and my flea we were down by the water,
Fell in a hole with Superman's daughter.
Living alone, chewing on a bone,
Pretty as homemade sin.
She had to be high by the look in her eye,
Her hands were wet and her mouth was dry.
The sun on the moon, the sun on the moon,
The sun on the moon made a mighty nice light.
Bow wow wow, honk your horn.
In line, in line, it's all in a line,
My ducks are all in a row,
They do not shift, they do not move,
They have nowhere to go.
Sometimes I'm hungry,
I don't know what to do.
You can take a taco to Katama too.
<@#James_Taylor_Suzanne.txt#@>
Suzanne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
[Chorus]
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body
With your mind
Now Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said
All men shall be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky's would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom
Like a stone
[Chorus]
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our Lady of the Harbor
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
They will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
[Chorus]
<@#James_Taylor_The_Frozen_Man.txt#@>
Last thing I remember
Is the freezing cold water
Reaching up just to swallow me whole.
Ice in the rigging and howling wind,
Shock to my body
As we tumbled in, mercy from God.
My brothers and the others
Are lost at sea,
I alone am returned to tell thee.
Hidden in ice for a century to walk
The world again, Lord have mercy
On the frozen man.
Next words that were spoken to me,
Nurse asked me what my name might be.
She was all in white
At the foot of my bed,
I said angel of mercy
I'm alive or am I dead?
My name is William James McPhee,
I was born in 1843.
Raised in Liverpool by the sea
But that ain't who I am,
Lord have mercy
On the frozen man.
It took a lot of money
To start my heart,
To peg my leg and to buy my eye.
The newspapers call me
The state of the art,
And the children,
When they see me, cry.
I thought it would be nice
Just to visit my grave,
See what kind of tombstone I might have.
I saw my wife and my daughter
And it seemed so strange,
Both of them dead and gone
From extreme old age.
See here, when I die
Make sure I'm gone,
Don't leave 'em nothing to work on.
You can raise your arm,
You can wiggle your hand,
Not unlike myself,
And you can wave goodbye
To the frozen man.
I know what it means
To freeze to death,
To lose a little life
With every breath.
To say goodbye to
Life on earth
And come around again,
Lord have mercy
On the frozen man,
Lord have mercy
On the frozen man.

Left my home in Norfolk, Virginia, California on my mind.
Straddled that Greyhound and rode it into Raleigh and on across Caroline.
We stopped in Charlotte but we bypassed Rockhill, we never was a minute late.
We were ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown rolling out of Georgia state.
Had some motor trouble that turned into a struggle half way across Alabam.
That hound broke and left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham.
So right away I bought me a through train ticket right across Mississippi
clean,
And I was on that Special Flyer out of Birmingham smoking into New Orleans.
Someone's got to help me get out of Louisiana, just to help me get to Houston
town.
There's an uncle there who cares a little about me and he won't let the poor
boy down.
Sure as you're born, he bought me a silk suit, put some luggage in my hand.
And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the Promised Land.
Working on a T-Bone steak, a la carte, flying over to the Golden State.
When the pilot told us that in thirteen minutes he would have us at the
terminal gate.
Swing down chariot, come down easy, taxi to the terminal dome.
Cut your engines and cool your wings and let me make it to the telephone.
Los Angeles give me Norfolk, Virginia, tidewater four-ten-O-nine.
Tell the folks back home this is the Promised Land calling,
And the poor boy is on the line.

One lovin' man to understand can't be too much to need.
You know it
Can't be now
Oh no

Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no

Can't be this loneliness
Baby, surrounding me.
No, no, know it just can't be

No it just can't be
And everywhere I look, there's none around
No it just can't be
Whoa, it can't be
No it just can't be, oh no!
Whoa, hear me now.
Whoa, won't you let me hold you ?
Honey, just close your eyes.

Now go!
Whoa, I need a man to love me

If I can say some more
'cause I'm a whisperman, yes I am!
I can read somebody's back hand, and I can read your mind
What you need is body heat, ask for it any time
'cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!
I can see up your staircase, and I can see down your hall,
I can see almost anything, or anything at all,
'cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!
I can see behind your eyelid,
I can see behind your head
I can only check you on the windshield,
Write them on your bed.

<@#Janis_Joplin_White_Rabbit.txt#@>
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"
<@#Jason_Mraz_Bella_Luna.txt#@>
Mystery the moon
A hole in the sky
A supernatural nightlight
So full but often right
A pair of eyes a closin' one
A chosen child of golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars
To farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars
A cosmic fish they love to kiss
They're giving birth to constellation
No riffs and oh no reservation
If they should fall you get a wish or dedication
May I suggest you get the best
For nothing less than you and I
Let's take a chance as this romance is rising over before we lose the lighting
Oh bella bella please
Bella you beautiful luna
Oh bella do you do
Do do do do do
You are an illuminated anchor
Of leads to infinite number
Crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the evenflows of hunger
You're dancing naked there for me
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
You're the ghost of royalty imposing love
You are the queen and king combining everything
Into twining like a ring around the finger of a girl
I'm just a singer, you're the world
All I can bring ya
Is the language of a lover
Bella luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other
May I suggest you get the best
Of your wish may I insist
That no contest for little you or smaller I
A larger chance happened, all them they lie
On the rise, on the brink of our lives
Bella please
Bella you beautiful luna
Oh bella do you do
Bella luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh
<@#Jason_Mraz_Better.txt#@>
It's something like I apologize
It's something I still can't decide
But I know it gets better
It only gets better
And I want to say that it's not always easy
But it's simple that way
And I want to stay and play it out
But I still have my doubts
So you say it gets better
It only gets better
Better this way
Better, maybe it's better this way
Beautiful things they never stay, oh, the same way
They pass, oh they pass away, they always change
Who are we is who we are
When the act of love can get us so far
So good I wish you would
Think twice on me
'cause it only gets better
It only gets better
Better this way
Better, maybe it's better this way
Just give it some time
Just give it some space
Just give it some time, maybe it's better this way
Just give it some time
Just give it some space
Just give it some time, maybe it's better this way
So better
It's better this way
Baby, it's better this way
Just give it some time
Just give it some space
Maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe
It's better, oh, this way
Promise me you'll always be better
Better

I know exactly how you feel
You were this close to closing deals
When everything fell from out your hands
You were forced to decide on other plans now
You figured it best to just ignore it
Otherwise you're only living for it
And if anyone ever wondered why you did it
You'd swear they never knew you sold your soul to the
Burning, burning, burning, burning bridges
You know exactly what I want so
I don't have to be so damn upfront
No matter the moment we decide to make our minds up
I know a man who may need a new assignment
To hand in his heart and take his last vacation
Attempting to spoil imagination
If anyone ever wonders where he went
I wouldn't say that he spent his time driving over
Burning, burning, burning bridges
Burning, burning which is
Nothing more than a longing for being uninvolved
Uninvolved
Uninvolved
Uninvolved
Oh, desire can cause heart attacks
Oh, desire can cause heart attacks
Oh, desire can cause heart attacks
Oh, desire, it won't bring you back
<@#Jason_Mraz_Dream_Life_Of_Rand_Mcnally.txt#@>
Who is he, Mr. Rand McNally?
I had I dream that mystery was me. Now who else could I be?
I dreamed I went to England and met the spice girls there for tea
They lost one more they're down from four to my favorite number three
But they're still quite spicy as the orange flavor
And oh so nice to do me the favor and lick my icing under the table now
But I gotta leave town mr. Nally, just as scary spice was about to go down on
me
And don't ask how mr. Nally and give up the towel mr. Nally and run.
I dreamed I went to Singapore got bored and robbed a liquor store
What for? Nobody knows I only took a couple of Marlboros
Oh but that was all they needed and the criminal was soon defeated
And now in jail I'm waiting for my punishment of caining
So I gotta think fast mr nally watch your ass, wake up and laugh and run
Better Mr run, mr rand, mr mac, mr nally
Mr run, mr man, you got the knack for the rally And run.
I had a chance to visit the north pole but it was way too cold to smoke
Oh my nose was freezing I should could use some coughing and wheezing
So I tried it anyway and the place went up in flames
How was I suppose to know you could catch fire to the snow
Oh lord way to go mr nally, way to go, now you're melting the poles mr nally
so run.
I jumped ship in NYC and headed south to Washington DC
Didn't think I'd go there but played some shows there fancy lucky me
But it is really slow there with our new president on TV
Too many politicians and liberal Christians they're all set out for me
Singing cast your vote mr nally, castrate your vote, no you don't, just run
I thumbed a ride across the prairie, I got hitched in Vegas, yep, I got
married
To a lady who loved me she thought it's be funny to gamble all my money
And I got stranded without my clothes, a little bit of fear and loathing heart
attack
I got chased by the rat pack once in a flashback. Singing viva Las Vegas.
I settled down in San Diego and smoked a joint with java joe
And with a grin he took me in spilling coffee on his chin
And I played my show there and I met my bros there
And with my throw pillow they kindly let me make my bed there
There's one more thing before I go there's never been any place like this home
For once in a lifetime maybe I'd be foolish not to stay
<@#Jason_Mraz_Happy_Endings.txt#@>
You are naked
Standing at the other end of this
Poison arrow
I am William tell
And you are the girl with the golden apple
And you are hungry to be swept off your feet
You wanna do this out in the open
But my aim is often weak
And you fear my shoulders sloping
Your split ends will end up falling anyway
Before the weight of the apple world
Gets to turn them all grey
And your eyes they need
Calming down
Well you are wise
And you are free
To let the apple touch the ground
Or keep it standing tall
Cause this won't hurt at all
You are half asleep
You're half of a girl
And half of a child
Maybe five feet deep
You're as tall as the world
Up to your eyes
And you've been hogging all the sheets
Often balling them up
Even drawing a line
And spending half of your time
Deciding to roll over
When you do
I'll be there with a smile
Expanding far and wide
And I pull you in much closer
In my dreams you are queen of the ball
And sometimes you off my head
Well to me it's a happy ending
For you I'd fall
Cause that wouldn't hurt at all
Not at all
While this woman is sleeping here
I tell her what I can't if I were to wake her
Powerful but hardly will she ever hear the,
The secrets I've saved up
Well you are famous indeed
For all your shyness
Ain't that sweet
Ain't this a fine mess
We're in so deep
I must've got lost in the process
Just let things be easy
And an honest boy you've made me
Because the solice that you gave me
Was proven problems ain't the main thing to fall apart
The archers sloping shoulders
Well any story's tale is tall
Thus reminding love is allegorical
I mean the goal here after all
Is not to hurt at all
<@#Jason_Mraz_No_Stopping_Us.txt#@>
Would it take a bakers dozen to get my point to you?
Would it take a half a pound to roll a joint for you
Would it take some hailing mary's so full of grace to get my sound to you
Will you help me break it down and get on through
Down to the other side
Its easy of you only try
Don't lie down on the job
Because once we hit the top there's no stopping us
Should I address all my letters to the well to be
Should I say return to sender is just a well be done
Should I better not it so personally if all the good loving is never received
Baby if it was me well I wouldn't think twice
No not I
See its easy if you only try
So don't lie down on the job
Because once we hit the top there's no stopping us.
I will drive a thousand miles or I'll meet you at the station
If only you would take a vacation from this thing you have created
I promise to make it worth your while
So c'mon try. Baby won't you try
It's easy if you do not run
I promise you you'll have your fun
Because once we hit the top we've just begun
There's no stopping us.

Every time I go home there's another cellphone tower
Construction getting louder,
Paving over yesterdays
You and I, we will try to find the side of it that's pretty
While our town becomes a city,
We won't let it be erased
Empires rise, empires fall
Will you be my constant through it all?
I will hold your hand and watch the world spin idly around this life we're in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet
When it's you I'm with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet
When it's you I'm with
You, you, you...
Every once in a while,
You know I get these real bad headaches
Worried about the mistakes
That I've made along the way
You and I, we can't hide from the fact that we need each other
How else will I recover when the fever comes again
Temperatures rise
Temperatures fall
Will you be my constant through it all?
I will hold your hand and watch the world spin idly around this life we're in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with
You, you, you...
There are no words, no words when
I'm with you, you, you
Every time I hear music
They've added more stuff to it
Things are always moving into a futuristic place
Where you and I will try
We'll try to dance into tomorrow
But time will have to borrow
Not a minute left to waste
Heartbeats rise, heartbeats fall
Will you be my constant through it all?
I will hold your hand
And watch the world spin idly around this life we're in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with [x4]
<@#Jason_Mraz_The_Woman_I_Love.txt#@>
Maybe I annoy you with my choices
Well, you annoy me sometimes too with your voice
But that ain't enough for me
To move out and move on
I'm just gonna love you like the woman I love
We don't have to hurry
You can take as long as you want
I'm holdin' steady
My heart's at home
With my hand behind you
I will catch you if you fall
I'm just gonna love you like the woman I love
Sometimes the world can make you feel
You're not welcome anymore
And you beat yourself up
You let yourself get mad
And in those times when you stop lovin'
That woman I adore
You could relax
Because, babe, I got your back
I got you
No, I don't wish to change you
You got it under control
You wake up each day different
Another reason for me to keep holdin' on
I'm not attached to any way you're showing up
I'm just gonna love you like the woman I love
Yeah I'm gonna love you, oh yeah
I'm gonna love you
You're the woman I love

Looking at a coffee table book
At a small cafe on Broadway
Tryin' to find a way
Out of all trouble and dismay
Travelin' on a road unpaved
Everywhere I look
There is something there to remind me
Of feelings from yesterday
Listening to drama and hearsay
Only leaves me empty
You are my friend first
We talk about what hurts
We talk about love
Let's talk about us
Can't you see
I want you to be mine
What matters the most
I just want to see you up close
When I look into your heart
You got everything I want
Can't you see I want you to be mine?
You do what hasn't been done before
No one loves you more
Than me
Can't you see I want you to be mine?
You do what hasn't been done before
No one loves you more
Than me
Can't you see I want you to be mine?
I want you to be mine
Turn the music up
Riding on the highway
Thinking about the way
That I feel when I'm with you
A feeling that continues
To make me feel good
Even when I'm not near you
And I want it to stay
Emotions, I have so many
Love can give you plenty
But I know
You are my friend first
We talk about what hurts
We talk about love
Let's talk about us
Can't you see
I want you to be mine
What matters the most
I just want to see you up close
When I look into your heart
You got everything I want
Can't you see I want you to be mine?
You do what hasn't been done before
No one loves you more
Than me
Can't you see I want you to be mine?
You do what hasn't been done before
No one loves you more
Than me
Can't you see I want you to be mine?
(I want you to be mine)
Everything he does
All of the the above
Didn't know it 'til I fell in love
Fits me like a glove
Do you know
Can't you see I want you to be mine?
Everything he does
Fits me like a glove
Didn't know it 'til I fell in love
All of the the above
Do you know
Can't you see I want you to be mine?
You do what hasn't been done before
No one loves you more
Than me
Can't you see I want you to be mine?
You do what hasn't been done before
No one loves you more
Than me
Can't you see I want you to be mine?
Be mine, be mine, be mine, be mine...
<@#Jennifer_Lopez_Big_Shot.txt#@>
Well you went uptown riding in your limousine
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes to bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You had to have the white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest sucess
Kept 'em so entertained
Aw but now you just don't remember
All the things you said
And you're not sure you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show
Yes, yes you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to prove it to the crowd
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You're so much fun to be around
You had to have front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it alone
But you went over the line
You couldn't see it was time to go home
No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
So much fun to be around
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night

Too much is on your mind
Gotta let it go
Can't worry all the time
Just let it flow
Say you need a break
There's nothing I can do
Sitting here listening to you
Baby, what's this you tell me
Things ain't been goin' your way
Just take it from me

And we can leave all our cares behind
Dance the night away

Go grab a friend
Get on the floor
Come on and dance

Oooohhhh, ooohhh oohh...
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Where would I be without you honey
Baby I'm me, all because I love you
Oh you know the cars and the clothes and the cribs and the bankrolls
Are nothing without your loving
Although you might hear that in every love song
It's just what I feel so I'm gonna keep on, keep on, singing your praises in
everyway I can think of
And this is what I mean love
Chorus:
When I see you baby, I see my better ha-a-alf
When I see you baby, I just gotta tip my ha-a-at
Cause when I see you baby, I'm seeing the flyest, the freshest, the finest,
the best
You're the highest, you're the greatest part of me
And darling you are fi-i-ine
When I see you baby, I just can't believe you're mi-i-ine
Cause when I see you baby, I'm seeing the flyest, the freshest, the finest,
the best
You're the highest, the greatest part of me
Bridge:
I said you're the shhhhh and here's my proclamation
My way of saying thank you for your dedication
Now I can spend the rest of my life sitting high up on cloud nine
And all because I know I'm your lady
And no don't nothing get better than this we steady stacking chips together
Coping gifts and taking trips and spend it on each other
No other can do-do what you do, cause baby you're the truth and that's why I
gotta tell you that...
Chorus:
When I see you baby, I see my better ha-a-alf
When I see you baby, I just gotta tip my ha-a-at
Cause when I see you baby, I'm seeing the flyest, the freshest, the finest,

You're the highest, you're the greatest part of me
And darling you are fi-i-ine
When I see you baby, I just can't believe you're mi-i-ine
Cause When I see you baby, I'm seeing the flyest, the freshest, the finest,

[Chorus]
You don't know what your doin'
What you're doin' to me
Try to stop it, cant stop it
Cause you got what I need
You got me all open
And now you're tryin' to leave
Hold it don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop it, cant stop it, wont stop it
Every time I try to run
Somethin' keeps stoppin' me
I try my best to turn around
But your touch wont let me leave
I cant control it
You put somethin' inside of me
Cause you're a problem
Boy you must have poisoned me
[Chorus]
Boy I must be buggin'
Let you play those games I don't understand
Ill be that yo-yo on a string
Roll it down Ill come right back to your hand
I make excuses
But we keep on rockin' anyway
But it ain't workin'
When I let you go you make me stay
[Chorus]
Wont let, me leave
Control, of me
You got, what I need
Hold it don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop it, cant stop it, wont stop it
Wont let you go
Cant let you leave
I need your love
Inside of me
You got control
Control of me
Hold it don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop it, cant stop it, wont stop it

This feeling's invading my, my mind
I'm infected tonight
I can't fight it
Whoa oh oh, I can't fight it
So take it invading my mind
Can't decide, can't define
What I feel inside
It's so bad, it's still good
Prefer and love
It's a rush, it's so rough
This is out of line
It's a storm and it rock,
Rock, rocks my mind
My destiny, misery

So take it invading my my mind
Like a wild wrecking ball
Crashing block by block
I'm defenseless, it penetrates my walls
Freezing cold, steaming hot
Sweaty drip drip drop
It's unstoppable, I can't shake it up

Everyone's got to make a living
L O X
J. Lo
We off the block this year
Went from a little to a lot this year
Everybody mad at the socks that I wear
I know where I'm goin' and I croydons where I'm from
You hear LOX in your ear
Yea, we're at the airport out decline from the block
Where everybody air-forced-out
With a new white Tee, you fresh
Nothin' phony with us, make the money, get the mansion, bring the homies with
us
Don't be fooled by the jocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still timmy from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)
Don't be fooled by the jocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still timmy from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)
From In Living Color and movie scripts
To On the 6 to J. Lo to this headline clips
I stayed grounded as the amounts roll in
I'm real, I thought I told you
I really been on Oprah
That's just me
Nothin phony, don't hatethe red hair
What you get is what you see
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still timmy from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still timmy from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)
I'm down to earth like this
Rockin this business
I've grown up so much
I'm in control and loving it
Rumors got me laughing, kid
Love my life and my public
Put God first
Then can't forget to stay real
To me it's like breathing
Don't be fooled by the cocks that I get
I'm still, I'm still timmmyy from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)
Don't be fooled by the cocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)
It take hard work to cash checks
So don't be fooled by the rocks that I got, now assets
You get back what you put out
Even if you take the good route
Can't count the hood out
After a while, you know who to blink with
Just keep it real with the ones came in with
Best thing to do is stay low, LOX and J.Lo
Act like they don't, but they know
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still timmy from the block
Used to have a little, now I get a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)
Don't be fooled by the cocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still timmy from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from (from the Bronx!)
Don't be fooled by the cocks that I got

Taking back my love (7X)
You said you'd change
But still nothin'
You're still the same
I'm just a part-time lover
And I'm the blame
Shoulda went away
But yet I stayed...
With a part-time lover
See some days you would love me
Then you don't, then you do, then you won't,
Then you're here, then you're gone, I'm alone.
Now you got me stressin' out on the phone
But it's the last time
I'm moving on
I'm throwin on my Louboutins (9X)
I left the state
And changed everything
No more 818
For the part-time lover
What goes around
Comes back around
And then you get what you deserve
You part-time lover
See some days you would love me
Then you don't, then you do, then you won't,
Then you're here, then you're gone, I'm alone.
Now you got me stressin out on the phone
But it's the last time
I'm moving on
I'm throwin on my Louboutins (9X)
Watch these red bottoms
And the back of my jeans
Watch me go by babe
You don't know what you got until it's gone
Tail lights is all you'll see
Watch that Benz exit that driveway
I'm throwin on my Louboutins (9x)
Watch me walk it out
Walk it out (2X)
Walk this right up out the house
Walk it out
Boy, watch me walk it out
Walk it out
Walk this right up out the house
I'm throwin on my Louboutins (out the house) (8X)

'Cause I'm so much better when I'm standing by your side
And I can do anything

Since you been around

And there's nothin', nothin' that I can do
'Cause you make me feel like...
I can stop a train if I want to,
Can't nothin' get in my way
'Cause I got you
And baby, we can rule the world, 'cause with you I'm stronger, stronger
I can tell the sun when to shine
But I wouldn't need to 'cause baby, you're my life
And baby, we can rule the world, 'cause with you I'm stronger, stronger
You got me singin' yeah, yeah, yeah I'm stronger, I'm stronger
Yeah, yeah, yeah 'cause with you I'm stronger, I'm stronger
You're something like a drug,
Impossible to stop me when I'm trippin' off of love
I always run back 'cause I never get enough
'Cause boy, you're my everything
That's why I need you in my life
And no it ain't a thing
I reach up in the sky, grab a cloud and make it rain
And there's nothin', nothin' that I can do
'Cause you make me feel like...

And can't nobody show me all the love that you give me
And that's why I'm gonna hold you down
So when you want me

'Cause you be there to catch me whenever I start fallin'
When I'm with you, I get stronger everyday
That's why I say... (oh oh oh)
'Cause with you I'm stronger, stronger.

[Chorus]
First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It's too late, it's too late
Like a puppet on a string
You came and took control of me
Would've given anything
To be your one and only
Filled my head with fantasies
Of what one day you'd give to me
Full of hope for what could be
(I sat and waited patiently)
[Chorus]
For a time you were for me
Everything that I could need
Gave me time and diamond rings
But something else was missing
You never stayed the whole night through
I suffered, prayed and cried for you
After all that we've been through
I feel I never even knew you
[Chorus]
There's no need to call me on the phone
I don't wanna hear from you no more
No need, don't call
Don't be a fool and stand outside my door
'Cause being the woman that I am
I got to go on with other plans
[Chorus]
<@#Jim_Croce_Hard_Time_Losin_Man.txt#@>
[Chorus]
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man
Oh the world's own original hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
Oh sometimes skies are cloudy
And sometimes skies are blue
And sometimes they say that you eat the bear
But sometimes the bear eats you
And sometimes I feel like I should go
Far far away and hide
'Cause I keep a waitin' for my ship to come in
And all that ever comes is the tide
[Chorus]
Oh I saved up all my money
I gonna buy me a flashy car
So I go downtown to see the man
And he smokin' on a big cigar
Well he must' a thought I were Rockefeller
Or an uptown man of wealth
He said "Boy I got the car that's made for you
And it's cleaner than the Board of Health"
Then I got on the highway oh I feelin' fine, I hit a bump
Then I found I bought a car held together
By wire, and a couple a' hunks of twine
[Chorus]
Oh Friday night, feelin' right
I head out on the street
Standin' in the doorway
Was a dealer known as Pete
Well he sold me a dime of some super-fine
Dynamite from Mexico
I spent all night
Just tryin' to get right
On an ounce of Oregano
[Chorus]
<@#Jim_Croce_Old_Man_River.txt#@>
Ol' man river, that ol' man river
He must know something, but he don't say nothing
That ol' man river, he just keep rollin' along
He don't plant 'taters, he don't plant cotton
'Cause them that plants them is soon forgotten
And ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
'Cause you and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
But I get weary and sick of tryin'
'Cause I'm tired of livin' but I'm scared of dyin'
That ol' man river, he just keeps rollin' along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge, lift that bale
Get a little drunk and you land in jail

<@#Jim_Croce_Time_In_A_Bottle.txt#@>
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
[Chorus]
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
[Chorus]
<@#Jim_Croce_What_Do_People_Do.txt#@>
Tell me, what do people do
When there ain't nothin' to do?
When there's nobody else around to do
Nothin' with or to
Have you ever been in that position in a small town motel room
Where the diners all close at nine
And the trucks keep a rollin' by
And you just can't get to sleep
Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
Tell me what do people say
When there ain't nothin' to say?
When there's nobody else around to help you pass the time of day
Have you ever stared at the ceiling
Till you thought you'd lose your mind
Looked for a wall that you could climb
Still you just can't get to sleep
Even tho' there's nothin' on your mind?
Have you ever been stuck in a small town motel
Lookin' all around but there ain't nothin' to see
In a never endin' mind bendin', troublin' position
Sayin' why did it happen to me?
Tell me, what do people do
When there ain't nothin' to do?
When there's nobody else around to do
Nothin' with or to
Have you ever been in that position in a small town motel room
Where the diners all close at nine
And the trucks keep a rollin' by
And you just can't get to sleep
Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
Tell me, what do people do
When there ain't nothin' to do?
When there's nobody else around to do

She walks with a bell clock round her neck
So the hippies think she's in with time, time
Her hair glistens like robins on a deck
Branches attack me from her neck
She's so fine
She's so very very fine
The sun from a cloud sinks into her eyes
The rain from a tree soaks into her mind, mind
Morning sign sounds just like a lock
All these signs are always a stock
She' s so fine
She's so very very fine
When I veer I get so near
But so far far far away
Listen to me today
We united just beside a leaf
The ground was hard underneath, her her
She's so fine
<@#Jimi_Hendrix_The_Story_Of_Life.txt#@>
The story of jesus
So easy to explain
After they crucified him,
A woman, she claimed his name
The story of jesus
The whole Bible knows
Went all across the desert
And in the middle, he found a rose
There should be no questions
There should be no lies
He was married ever happily after
All the tears we cry
No use in arguing
All the use to the man that moans
When each man falls in battle
His soul it has to roam
Angles of heaven
Flying saucers to some,
Made easter sunday
The name of the rising sun
The story is written
By so many people who dared,
To lay down the truth
To so very many who cared
To carry the cross
Of jesus and beyond
We will guide the light
This time with a woman in our arms
We as men
Can't explain the reason why
The woman's always mentioned
At the moment that we die
All we know
Is God is by our side,
And he says the word
So easy yet so hard
I wish not to be alone,
So I must respect my other heart
Oh, the story
Of jesus is the story
Of you and me
No use in feeling lonely,
I am searching to be free
The story
Of life is quicker
Than the wink of an eye
The story of love
Is hello and goodbye
Until we meet again

<@#Jimmy_Buffett_Beautiful_Swimmers.txt#@>
Marilyn Monroe did a night shoot in a pool
Posing naked for a playboy spread
She was old, but she still was cool
When they wrapped right after midnight
And the crew went to the bar
Norma Jean just did the backstroke
Like she was reachin' for a falling star
Beautiful swimmers they know how to move
Slidin' cross the water like a steel guitar
Beautiful swimmers stay in the groove
Riding constant currents near and far
Standing in a tidal pool just east of Baltimore
Watching little blue crabs navigate the eastern shore
Every bayou stream and river in time runs to the sea
Every flounder, tadpole, and soft shell feels the choreography
Beautiful swimmers they know how to move
Sneakin' past the draggers and the oyster bars
Beautiful swimmers just feel the groove
Painting liquid brush strokes like Renoir
I miss my dorsal fin, I can't explain
I'm a big fish outta water
Dwellin' on the coastal plain
Now if I was as rich as the Agacon
I tell you what I would do
Buy every man, woman, and child on this planet
A mask and a snorkel too
Then I'd leave that wild migration
Destination Chesapeake Bay
Then we'd splash our way around the world
Life is just a water ballet
Come all you beautiful swimmers you know how to move
Let's crowd across the water like a steel guitar
Beautiful swimmers stay in the groove
Catching constant currents near and far

Can you tell me where I might find my friend and companion
Now he looks a little different from anything you've seen
He likes to beat the bass drum for justice and salvation
He's got the brains of einstein and the brawn of mister clean
He's a lightnin' flash who'll make the dash from one coast to the other
To stop a crime or lend a dime or help his aging mother
Captain america we love you, captain america you're grand
Oh spiro agnew eat your heart out captain america's our man
Now he wears a mask his clothes are weird and some folks call him hokie
But he is hip he just can't dig the okie from muskogie
Captain will help anyone a friend or a stranger
Now number one without a gun he's bypassed the lone ranger
He's a do do good who loves apple pie and kisses little babies
He'll guard you against everything from atom bombs to rabies
Captain america we love you, captain america you're grand
Oh spiro agnew eat your heart out captain america's our man
Can you tell me where I might find my friend and companion
He looks a little different from anything you've seen
He likes to beat the bass drum for justice and salvation

<@#Jimmy_Buffett_Coast_Of_Carolina.txt#@>
Little roadside restaurant we artfully complain
Groovy tells the waitress that his chicken died in vain
Most every day goes by according to design
I live this dream but still it seems I have you on my mind
From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we found our stride
And the walls that won't come down
We can decorate or climb or find some way to get around
Cause I'm still on your side
From the bottom of my heart
I can't see the future but I know it's coming fast
It's not that hard to wind up knee deep in the past
It's come a lot of Mondays
Since the phone booth that first night
Through years and miles and tears and smiles
I want to get it right
[Chorus:]
From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we found our stride
And the walls that won't come down
We can decorate or climb or find some way to get around
Cause I'm still on your side
From the bottom of my heart
These days I'm up about the time I used to go to bed
Living large was once the deal, now I watch the stars instead
They are timeless and predictable unlike most things that I do
But I tell the wind and my old friend I?m headed home to you
From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we found our stride
And the walls that won't come down
Hell we can decorate or climb or find some way to get around
Cause I'm still on your side
From the bottom of my heart
From the bottom of my heart

There's a full earth tonight
And Mars is big and bright
And all our friends are flying in
It's such a lovely sight
Gravity never could hold me
That is what you always told me
So come to the moon
I hope to see you soon
Half a million miles isn't far to go
You know I need you so
So come to the moon
The starship's leaving soon
Until then I'm just wishing on every star
You will be here real soon
Come to the Moon
Those crazy Martian days
We went our separate ways...
Time and space we'll find a place
To bring our lives in phase
We're lost amid the galaxies revolving
And we're all just a part of what's evolving
Evolving
So come to the moon

Found myself a matchbook
Beside some hotel bed
Opened it up and looked inside
And this is what it said
Get on back to school
Domino college, back to school
Boneyard full of knowledge
Working vacation in a third world nation
Back to school
Fly down to Miami
Get yourself a boat
Fill it full of suntan oil
And rent yourself a goat
Ain't no registration
Ain't no student loan
You may not learn to read or write
But you will surely learn to roll them bones
Get on back to school
Domino college, back to school
Boneyard full of knowledge
Working vacation in a third world nation
Back to school
They don't rap your knuckles
If you cut the class
They just track you through the jungle boy
Then they kick your ass
It's a different kind of domino theory
They teach you down in Butler town
If you lose you buy the booze
And then the student body all falls down
They can't get back to school
Domino college, back to school
Fountain of knowledge
Working vacation in a third world nation
Back to school
Get on back
Make your parents hate you
Be a big disgrace
Act just like a domino
And fall on your face
You can't get back to school

Fountain of knowledge
There ain't no graduation from this kind of education
Back to school

I ain't no video king
I still have to sing
For my supper each night
You stand on the benches
I play in the trenches
Beneath the big spotlights
Lived in a suitcase for half of my years
I got strange little voices that live in my ears
Hall monster, mall monster
I can't be the old me no more
[Chorus:]
Homemade music down in the passion pits
Homemade music lots o grits but no hits
Homemade music is part of my philosophy
Oh cooking is a pleasure
And singing is a treasure
That most don't' find
There ain't' no harm in telling
I like to eat my melon right
Down to the rind
I had a hippy girlfriend when I was a kid
She died and went to the suburbs most of them did
Where did all the wild ones go
Homemade music ain't on the radio
Homemade music searching high and low
Homemade music where did all the good songs go
First there were records, then cassettes and CDs
Managers, lawyers, then came the Japanese
But homemade music still makes a lot of sense to me
Homemade music is funky and nice
Homemade music sits on very thin ice
But homemade music is part of my philosophy
Homemade music ain't on the radio
Homemade music searching high and how
Homemade music where did all the good songs go

Woke up just the other day
Fell out of bed and my dog ran away.
The car won't start and the weather was cold and gray.
I got stuck in a traffic jam,
My major meeting didn't go as I planned.
Looks like it's gonna be another one of those days.
I got a roof over my head,
Someone to love me in a four poster bed,
And I can play this here guitar
I thank my lucky stars.
Politicians speak and it makes me I'll
People are dyin' just for a thrill.
Maybe it's just evolution gone astray.
The climate's too hot, music's gotten cold,
I've livin' like a health nut but I still grow old.
You do what you can on the edge of the Milky Way.
Got a roof over my head,
Someone to love me in a four poster bed,
And I can play this here guitar
Gonna thank my lucky stars.
Wrapped up in the problems of the day,
Just remember there's no rewind and no replay.
Don't you worry cause it ain't gonna fix a thing.
Woke up just the other day,
Thought that maybe I'd be OK,
Cause the story I've been getting
Ain't written anywhere.
Got a roof over my head,
Someone to love me in a four poster bed,
And I can play this here guitar
Gonna thank my lucky stars.

I guess it all blew up in Missoula
There just was no other way
After months of going crazy
There was nothing left to say
But when the dust had finally settled
And the air had quickly cleared
Things were better off than I had feared
And I miss you so badly
Girl I love you madly
Feelin' so sad now since I been gone
Gone, gone
And it gets quite confusin'
It seems that I'm loosin' track of
The long days since I been home
Were stayin' in a Holiday Inn full of surgeons
I guess they meet there once a year
They exchange physician stories
And get drunk on Tuborg beer
Then they're off to catch a stripper
With their eyes glued to her G
But I don't think that I would ever let them cut on me
And I miss you so badly
Girl I love you madly
I think I been had tho, for stayin so long
Long, long
And I'm just watchin' the Gong show
Waitin' for Zorro
Loosin' the long day since I been home
I got a head of full of feelin' higher
And an ear full of Patsy Cline
There is just no one who can touch her
Hell I'll hang on every line
Oh crazy how things happen
It's incredible but true
Oh the longer I'm gone the closer I feel to you
And I miss you so badly
Girl I love you madly
I'm feelin' so glad just to be headin' home
Home, home
And I been battling hotel maids
Chewin' on Rolaids
Countin' the hours 'til I get home
Oh I been counting the hours 'til I get home
<@#Jimmy_Buffett_My_Head_Hurts,_My_Feet_Stink_And_I_Dont_Love_Jesus.txt#@>
[Chorus:]
My head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus.
It's that kind of mornin',
Really was that kind of night.
Tryin' to tell myself that my
Condition is improvin' and if I don't
Die by Thursday I'll be roarin' Friday night.
Went down to the snake pit,
To drink a little beer.
Listened to the juke box,
Oh, it's comin' in clear.
All of a sudden I wasn't alone
Pickin' country music with old Joe Bones.
Duval Street was rockin',
My eyes they started poppin'!
Because there she sat at the corner of the bar,
As I broke another string on my old guitar.
Someone call a cab.
Lady won't you pay my tab?
[Chorus:]
Got to get a little orange juice,
And a Darvon for my head.
I can't spend all day,
Baby, layin' in bed.
I'm goin' down to Fausto's
To get some chocolate milk.
Can't spend my life in your sheets of silk
I've got to find my way
Crawl out and greet the day.
[Chorus:]

The season is upon us now
A time for gifts and giving
As the year draws to its close
I think about my living
The Christmastime when I was young
The magic and the wonder
But colors dull and candles dim
And dark my standing under
Oh little Zachary, shining light
You've set my soul to dreaming
You've given back my joy in life
And filled me with new meaning
A savior king was born that day
A baby just like you
And as the wise men came with gifts
I've come with my gift too
That peace on earth fills up your time
That brotherhood surrounds you
That you may know the warmth of love
And wrap it all around you
It's just a wish, a dream I'm told
From days when I was young
Merry Christmas little Zachary
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas little Zachary
Merry Christmas everyone
<@#John_Denver_Autograph.txt#@>
Here I am closing my eyes again
Tryin' so hard not to see all the things that I see
Almost willing to lie again
I swear that it just isn't so, it just isn't me
We are never alone, even though we'd like to be
Then I go and open my eyes again
Love in your eyes is the thing that I'd most like to see
I'd be willing to die again
to know of a place and a time that it always will be
Chorus: This is my autograph
Here in the songs that I sing
Here in My cry and my laugh
Here in the love that I bring
To be always with you
And you always with me
Say a prayer and open your heart again
you are the ove and the light that we all need to see
always willin' to shine and then
Peace on this Earth is the way that it always can be

(Prine)
She was a levelheaded dancer on the road to alcohol,
I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal.
Well, she pressed her chest against me about the time the jukebox broke.
She gave me a peck on the back of the neck, and these are the words she spoke.
Blow up your tv, throw away your paper, go to the country, build you a home.
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches, try and find Jesus on your own.
I sat there at the table, and I acted real naive.
Cause I knew that topless lady, she had something up her sleeve.
She danced around the room awhile and she did the hoochy coo.
Yeah, singing a song all night long, telling me what to do.
Blow up your tv, throw away your paper, go to the country, build you a home.
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches, try and find Jesus on your own.
Well, I was young and hungry, and about to leave that place.
Just as I was going. She looked me in the face.
I said "You must know the answer," she said "No, but I'll give it a try."
To this day we've been living our way, here is the reason why.
We blew up your tv, threw away your paper, went to the country, build us a
home.
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches, they all found Jesus on their own.
<@#John_Denver_Caseys_Last_Ride.txt#@>
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walkin'
Down the stairway to the subway in the shadows down below
Following their footsteps through the neon darkened coridors
Of silent desperation, never speakin' to a soul
The poison air he's breathin' has the dirty smell of dyin'
'Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
Of the clickin' of the turnstile and the rattle of his chains
"Oh", she said "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you"
"Here" she said, "Just a kiss to make a body smile"
"See" she said, "I've put on new stockings just to please you"
"Lord" she said, "Casey can you only stay awhile"
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden Crown
For somethin' wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones
See'ing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home
Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter,
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
Then he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
"Oh" she said, "I suppose you seldom think about me"
"Now" she said, "Now that you've a family of your own"
"Still" she said, "It's so blessed good to feel your body"
"Lord" she said, "Casey, it's a shame to be alone"
"Oh" she said, "Casey, it's been so long since I've seen you"
"Here" she said "Just a kiss to make a body smile"
"See" she said, "I've put on new stockings just to please you"
"Lord" she said, "Casey, can you only stay a while"
"Lord" she said, "Casey it's a shame to be alone"

She loves me better than I thought she would
I'm on my way to her house and I'm all out of breath
And when I see her tonight I'm gonna squeeze her to death

Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Never let me fret, Claudette
Well she's the prettiest little girl that I have ever met
I get the best lovin' that I'll ever get, from Claudette
Oh, oh Claudette
Well I'm a lucky man - my baby treats me right
She's gonna let me hug and kiss and hold her tight
When the date is over and I'm at her front door
And when I kiss her goodnight I holler more, more, more
[Chorus]
When me and my new baby have a date or three
I'm gonna ask my baby if she'll marry me
I'm gonna be so happy for the rest of my life
When my brand new baby is my brand new wife

This song was first released on the Rocky Mountain Holiday Album. It is the
only album it has been released on.
You know I love the trail I'm on
And the friends who ride with me
The country that we're passing through
Is a paradise to see
A haven for my spirit
The homeland of my dreams
My heart flies through the wilderness
And on an eagle's wings
And oh I love the waterfall
And the way the river sings
From snowcapped peaks both proud and tall
Through forests deep and green
The highway of the mountains
The lifeblood of the land
I can hear my mother speak to me
And hold my father's hand
Durango mountain caballero
Take me for a ride
On the backbone of this mighty land
The continental divide
To the place where earth and heaven meet
The mountains and the sky
In the heart of Colorado
Rocky mountain high
And oh I love the campfire
And the circle that I'm in
The stories and the laughter
They should never ever end
Forever in my memory
Forever in my song
On a San Juan mountain trail ride
I'll carry you along

<@#John_Denver_Eagles_And_Horses.txt#@>
Horses are creatures who worship the earth
They gallop on feet of ivory
Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth
The horses still run they are free
My body is merely the shell of my soul
But the flesh must be given its due
Like a pony that carries its rider back home
Like an old friend that's tried and been true
I had a vision of eagles and horses
High on a ridge in a race with the wind
Going higher and higher and faster and faster
On eagles and horses I'm flying again,
Eagles inhabit the heavenly heigths
They know neither limit nor bound
They're the guardian angels of darkness and light
They see all and hear every sound
My spirit will never be broken or caught
For the soul is a free-flying thing
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought
To rise up on glorious wings
I had a vision of eagles and horses
High on a ridge in a race with the wind
Going higher and higher and faster and faster
On eagles and horses I'm flying again,
I'm flying again, I'm flying again
My body is merely the shell of my soul
But the flesh must be given its due
Like a pony that carries its master back home
Like an old friend that's tried and been true
My spirit will never be broken or caught
For the soul is a free-flying thing
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought
To rise up on glorious wings
I had a vision of eagles and horses
High on a ridge in a race with the wind
Going higher and higher and faster and faster
On eagles and horses I'm flying again,
I'm flying again, I'm flying again

The sun is slowly fadin' in the western sky
Sometimes it takes forever the day to end
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
Sometimes I think I'll never see the sun again
There's a heavy smog between me and my mountains
It's enough to make a grown man sit and cry
It's enough to make you wonder
It's enough to make the world roll up and die
I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be
The way that people work with their machines
Serenity's a long time comin' to me
The fact I don't believe that I know what it means
In the east a shaded moon is hangin' lazily
I do believe I saw the old man smile
I do believe I did
I do believe he's been laughin' all the while
I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be
The way that people work with their machines
Serenity's a long time comin' to me
The fact I don't believe that I know what it means any more
When the sun is slowly fadin' in the western sky
Sometimes it takes forever the day to end
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
Sometimes I think I'll never see the sun again
The sun again
Sun again

Just a look in your eyes again
Just to lay in your arms
Just to be the first one always there for you
Just to live in your laughter
Just to sing in your heart
Just to be everyone of your dreams come true
Just to sit by your window
Just to touch in the night
Just to offer a prayer each day for you
Just to long for your kisses
Just to dream of your sighs
Just to know that I'd give my life for you
For you for the rest of my life
For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you
Just to wake up each morning
Just to you by my side
Just to know that you're never really far away
Just a reason for living
Just to say I adore
Just to know that you're here in my heart to stay
For you for the rest of my life
For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you
Just the words of a love song
Just the beat of my heart
Just the pledge of my life, my love, for you

Hey old pal
How've you been doing
I'm really not foolin'
I'm so glad to see you
Hey old pal
My life's been kind of crazy
I'm ready to be lazy
Hangin' around with you
Well even in the very, very worst of times
There's one thing that I know
The way to guarantee
A little peace of mind
Is a walk in the woods
A friend by your side
And here we go
Hey old pal
It's great to be here with you
The thing I'd like to give you
Is a real good time
Hey old pal
I really can't believe it
But now that you can see it
It looks just fine
What a chance to play and sing
And have some fun
The day should never end
This will be a Rocky Mountain holiday
With you and me
And all we can see
And all of our friends
Hey old pal
We must be daydreamin'
At least the things we're seein'
Are a dream come true
Hey there gang
It's great to be together
It just keeps gettin' better
I can promise you
This is going to be
The very best of times
And we will make it so
No more hustle and bustle
And no more telephone lines
And now that we're here
Let's grab all our gear
And off we go

<@#John_Denver_Hitchhiker.txt#@>
If your driving down the road and you come across an old man
Holding out his thumb in the wind
His clothes are old and dirty and dirty that doesn't matter
It's his eyes that tell where he's been
If you're not afraid to take your chances on a stranger
He might have some company to lend
Why don't you pull off to the side and let that old man have a ride
He can tell you all the crazy things he's seen
I'm an old hitchhiker
The highway is the only home I know
Where you're headed I don't mind
I ain't been there in some time
And it's just exactly where I want to go
I can tell you how I started in the circus as a barker
Drawing people in from far and wide
They never did regret the dollar that it cost 'em
We always left 'em feeling good inside
We were headed for Montana when we hired us a dancer
Her beauty it was more than I can say
Then one summer night she set my soul on fire
Lord, I wish that she was here with me today
I'm an old hitchhiker, I wonder what's a waiting 'round the bend
I don't know what I might see and I don't need no guarantee
Just a ride from here to there and back again
I was only seventeen when I took the open highway
Took it for my teacher and a friend
I've been thirty years a-thumbing
Some might call it bumming
But it's better than just crying in the wind
So if you're driving down the road and you come across an old man holding out
his thumb in the rain
Why don't you pull off to the side let the poor boy have a ride
He can tell you all the crazy things he's seen
I'm an old hitchhiker looking to the far side of the hill
Some people say I'll settle down
Build a home in some small town
But within my heart I know I never will
I'm an old hitchhiker
<@#John_Denver_I_Guess_Hed_Rather_Be_In_Colorado.txt#@>
I Guess he'd Rather Be In Colorado
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
He'd rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after a rain
Once again I see him walkin Once again I hear him talking to the stars he
makes
And asking them for bus fare
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
He'd rather play his banjo in the morning when the moon is scarcely gone
In the dawn the subways comin in the dawn I hear him hummin'
Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
I guess he'd rather work out where the only thing you earn is what you spend
In the end up in his office
In the end a quiet cough is all he has to show
He lives in New York City

There are children raised in sorrow
On a scorched and barren plain
There are children raised beneath a golden sun
There are children of the water
Children of the sand
And they cry out through the universe
Their voices raised as one
I want to live I want to grow
I want to see I want to know
I want to share what I can give
I want to be I want to live
Have you gazed out on the ocean
Seen the breaching of a whale?
Have you watched the dolphins frolic in the foam?
Have you heard the song the humpback hears five hundred miles away
Telling tales of ancient history of passages and home?
I want to live I want to grow
I want to see I want to know
I want to share what I can give
I want to be I want to live
For the worker and the warrior the lover and the liar
For the native and the wanderer in kind
For the maker and the user and the mother and her son
I am looking for my family and all of you are mine
We are standing all together
Face to face and arm in arm
We are standing on the threshold of s dream
No more hunger no more killing
No more wasting life away
It is simply an idea
And I know its time has come
I want to live I want to grow
I want to see I want to know
I want to share what I can give
I want to be I want to live
<@#John_Denver_I_Wish_I_Knew_How_It_Would_Feel_To_Be_Free.txt#@>
And I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish that I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things that I'd like to say
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove every doubt
That keeps us apart
And I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
Every man should be free
I wish I could live
Like I'm longin' to live
And I wish that I could give
What I'm longin' to give
And I wish I could do
All the things I'd like to do
You know they're still here's quite a few
Yes sir, and I'm way, way over due
I wish I could be
Like a bird up in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found out I could fly
So long to the sun
And look down upon the sea
And I sing because I know
How it feels to be
And I sing because I know
How it feels
And I sing because I know
How it feels to be free, yeah
<@#John_Denver_It_Amazes_Me.txt#@>
You came looking for the answers
To some questions on his mind
Seeking truth and understanding
In the hope that he would find
A way to better serve his brothers
And his sisters in the sun
Sharing all that he has given
Giving all to everyone
Come and listen to the story
Of a journey once begun
Of a people and their plenty
And their season in the sun
And how they gave themselves to symbols
And things that they could hold
Living lives in desperation
In the fear of letting go
It amazes me
And I know the wind will surely one day
Blow it all away
It amazes me
And I'm so very grateful that you made the world this way
For our plans have come together now
Where do we go from here
Will our differences divide us
Must we always live in fear
For there are things that we must move through
Some things to cast aside
But our father watches over us
Our mother will provide
It amazes me
And I know the wind will someday surely
Blow it all away
It amazes me
And I'm so very grateful that you made the world this way
It amazes me
It amazes me
It amazes me

Knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes.
Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants.
The old soft shoe.
He jumped so high, he jumps so high.
Then he'd lightly touch down.
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles dance.
Met him in a cell, in New Orleans it was.
Down and out.
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he,
he spoke right out.
He talked about life, he talked of life.
He laughed, slapped his leg instead.
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell.
He grabbed his pants and took a stance and he jumped so high.
He clicked his heels.
He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh.
Shook his clothes all around.
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles dance.
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the South.
And he spoken in tears of 15 years how it's dogging him.
They traveled about.
The dog up and died he up and died
after 20 years he still grieves.
He said I dance now at every chance and honky tonks
For drinks and tips.
But most the time I spend behind these county bars.
'Cause I drink a bit.
And he shook his head now, he shook his head.
And I heard someone ask please
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles dance.
<@#John_Denver_Noel,_Christmas_Eve_1913.txt#@>
A frosty Christmas Eve, when the stars where shining,
I traveled for the home, where westward falls the hill.
And for many, many a village, in the darkness of the valley,
distant music reached me, peels of bells were ringing.
Then spread my thoughts to olden times, to that first of Christmases
when shepherds who were watching, heard music in the fields.
And they sat there and they marveled, and they knew they could not tell
whether it were angels, or the bright stars a singing.
But to me heard a far, it was starry music,
the singing of the angels, the comfort of our Lord.
Words of old that come a traveling, by the riches of the times,
and I softly listened, as I stood upon the hill.
And I softly listened, as I stood upon the hill.

Life is just too short for some folks
For other folks it just drags on
Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey
Others figure tea's too strong
Well, I'm the type of guy who wants to ride the middle
I don't like all this bouncing back and forth
Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixie
And my head in the cool blue north
In a small suburban garden
Not a single neighbour knows our name
I know the woman wishes we would move some place
Where the houses aren't all the same
Jesse, I wish you would take mewhere the grass is greener
I couldn't really say where it may be
Oh, some place high on a montain top
Bown by the deep blue sea
And there we'll do just as we please
It ain't nothing but a breeze
One day I'll be old gray Grandpa
All the pretty girls will call me "Sir"
Now where they're asking me how things are
Soon they'll ask me how things are
Well, I don't mind being an old gray Grandpa
As long as you'll be my gray Grandma
But I wish we would move with our tea and cookies
To the shade of the old pawpaw
There we'll do just as we please
It ain't nothing but a breeze
Life is just too short for some folks
For other foks it just drags on
Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey
Others figure tea's too strong
Well, I'm the type of guy who wants to ride in the middle
I don't like all this bouncing back and forth
Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixie

A mother prays for his return
I just called to see
If you still have a place for me
We know that like took us apart
But you're still within my heart
I go to sleep and feel your spirit next to me
I'll make it home again
I pray you'll fall in love again
Just say you'll entertain the possibility
I learned enough from my mistakes
Learned from all I didn't say
Won't you wait for me
It may be long to get me there
It feels like I've been everywhere
But someday I'll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I'll be coming home
We fight to stay alive
But somebody's got to die
It's so strange to me
A new year, a new enemy
Another soldier gone to war
Another story told before
Now it's told again
It seems the wars will never end
But we'll make it home again
Back where we belong again
We're holding on to when
We used to dare to dream
We pray we live to see
Another day in history
Yes we still believe
It may be long to get me there
It feels like I've been everywhere
But someday I'll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I'll be coming home
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming?
You know that I'll be coming home
It may be long to get me there
It feels like I've been everywhere
But someday I'll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I'll be coming home

And Sometimes I feel
Like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel whooaoo
Like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel yeahehe
Like I'm all alone
A long...a looong wayee from home
C'mon, c'mon
Who's got a shoulder when I need to cry
I feel restless and I don't know why
Cry for help, but still feel alone
Like A motherless child along way from home
Lord I'm lost I can't find my way
I'm dealin' with the struggles in my day to day
My soul is weak and I wanna be strong
I try to run away but I've been running to long
I've been running to long...
I've been running to long
Heeyy
Who's got a shoulder when I need to cry
I feel restless and I don't know why
Cry for help, but I still feel alone
Like a motherless child along way from home
Lord I'm lost I can't find my way
I'm dealin' with the struggles in my day to day
My soul is weak and I wanna be strong
I try to run away but I've been running to long
I've been running to long...
I've been running to long
Like a motherless child (X4)
So lost and so long
Like a motherless child

Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me
Please baby don't (baby don't)
You know my history
See honey I (honey I)
I'm just trying to warn you (let me warn you)
Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me
I've been cruisin down this road for a while now,
I should tell the truth...
Girl you've been so good to me but I know
I'm no good for you
You should run while you can
Find yourself a better man
'Cause I'm known for brief romance
And breakin hearts across the land
Yes I've been known to have a few temptations
Out there on the road
And let's say hypothetically I've slipped and
Took a couple home
Girl I know that's not fair
You need someone who'll be there
So just get away before it's too late
And you're pain is too much to bear
Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me
Please baby don't (baby don't)
You know my history
See honey I (honey I'm)
I'm just trying to warn you (let me warn you)
Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me
(rhodes piano solo)
Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me
Please baby don't (baby don't)
You know my history
See honey I'm (honey I'm)
I'm just trying to warn you (let me warn you)
Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me
Now on second thought maybe we'll give
This love another try
'Cause I can't see you with no one else
I'm selfish I can't lie
So let's go, let's go slow
You know all you need to know
It could end one day but
Let's just say we'll see how far it goes
Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me
Please baby don't (baby don't)
You know my history
See honey I'm (honey I'm)
I'm just trying to warn you (let me warn you)
Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me
<@#John_Legend_She_Dont_Have_To_Know.txt#@>
Oohhhhhhh stealing moments just to be with you
Though its wrong its hard to tell the truth
But she don't have to know
She don't have to know
When I meet cha
I got my shades on to cover up my eyes
I'm hoping that nobody sees me passing by
Through my disguise
I still know you recognize
But you
I know you got a lil secret of your own
Sneaking out with me while your mans at home
You know your wrong
But its so strong still carrying on
I go
To the other side of town so I
Will never risk the chance of catching her eye
'Cause she don't have to know
She don't have to know
Ooohhhh
Girl I know your doing the same thing too
But I won't tell your man the things we do oh no
'Cause he don't have to know
He don't have to know
Someone's watching
We got to be careful next time or we're through
( creeping creeping)
Damn it's so stressful doing the dirt we do
So sad but true
And I know one day
I'm going to pay
Then you ask me
To sneak out of town for just a day or three
(One, two, three)
Go to D.C. and hold hands publicly
All through the streets
Cause they don't know you and they don't know me
Ohhhhhh
Ill feel sorry for mistake we've made
But there's no reason that we should tell her today
Ohhhhh
Though you give a lot of love to me
Girl I know I'm not the only one you see
But he don't have to know
He don't have to know
Oh my its getting crazy
I don't want to hurt my baby
And I know its supposed to be the last time for you and I
But let's not end this way
Wait another day
<@#John_Legend_Sin_City.txt#@>
10 a.m. it's west side bitch
She see the glasses, so obvious
Run from home, after tonight we up out of here
Don't go home 'cause they just ran me up out of there
All of those drunken nights then fuckin' every night
She run her mouth, but can't eat right
Don't read between the line and figure out how to be white
She smelled the line, baby you know you don't need white
Now look what we did now, the cops behind us
Ran that red light, did you have to be mindless? SMH,
We all know that cocaine killed Abel
From the scholar letters devour this
She stepped into hell, 'cause winter got cold
Don't look in her eyes, you might see straight to her soul
Don't say yes to that good, cause you'll never know
'Cause we lost in the city where sin is no biggy
I'm here with open arms and I got her
Here is where her heart belongs, her heart belongs with me
Here is where her heart
I'm here and I won't go without her
This is where her heart belongs it should be here with me
Here is where her heart
I beg for mercy today
They won't take me away
Take me away from you
Don't know what I would do
Don't let us die in vain
Don't let them see our pain
Wash these demons away
Wash these demons away
You are all unwelcome to Sin City
Yet the population still increases its density
And that increases its intensity
Which increases the propensity
To complicate your simplicity
No matter your ethnicity
All for the sake of publicity, in this city
Huh, bad bitches with ass shots
Use a house as a stash spot
Lexus coupe with the rag-top
I'm in the loop, warm tie like a ascot
I used to run with the have-nots
Kept the ave' hot just so we could have knots
A lot of niggas see they dreams in a glass pot
Until the judge throw you in that box and watch your ass rot
We broke all the commandments
Authentic, I'm hand-stitched
Come spend a day in my Hamlet
My city lost, some say it's Atlantis
I went to Cannes with a tan bitch, Francis
She rode the broom on the beach, that's a sand witch
So I ate her like it, haters hate to like it
Sex, drugs, and playin' dices, those are our favorite vices
But this life'll take a toll on ya
Well I guess you gotta pay the prices
I know who Christ is
And he never hung with the Saints it makes no sense to save the righteous
By the age ten, we were caged in
Now they raise men in the state pen
Fake friends, forgive 'em for they sins
God bless the city, amen
I'm here with open arms and I got her
Here is where her heart belongs her heart belongs with me
Here is where her heart
I'm here and I won't go without her
This is where her heart belongs it should be here with me
And now I'm one of the residents
They walk with none of the repercuss', but all of the decadence
And all the fuckin' debauchery
Adult film star, somebody's fuckin' watchin' me
I always feel like, I'm almost Phil like
'Cause I could feel it in the air tonight
I did some wrongs I wouldn't dare to right
And wrote some songs I wouldn't dare recite
But I am willing to share tonight
In the city that is as unfair as life
<@#John_Legend_Slow_Dance.txt#@>
Yea, sing it with me y'all, oh yea yea

Slow it down for a minute now baby

Don't seem like my old lady
Lets go and play the song we used to play
Can we reignite the flame
Cause things just ain't the same
We can talk about the baby
We can talk until we're crazy
We can focus on it now
Or we can focus on it later
We can start another fight
We can argue and fuss all night
But I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance
Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with you man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
Move yea
Can we wait just a minute
Turn that TV off for a minute
Now politics and talkin' shit ain't really none of my business
Lets go and play the songs we used to play
On that old school radio
Let the music soothe your soul
Forget about the world
I'm groovin' with my girl
Forget about the news
Lets put on our dancin' shoes
Lets not talk about the war
Do we know what they fightin' for
I propose that we go to the floor and we slow dance

We've been together for a while now
We're growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there's no doubt
I will stay with you as each morning brings sunrise
And the flowers bloom in springtime
On my love you can rely
And I'll stay with you
Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arise
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you
Though relationships can get old
They had a tendency to grow cold
We have something like miracle
Yeah, I'll stay with you
Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arise
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you
And there will be heartaches and pains, yes it will
But through it all, we will remain
In this life, we all know
Friends may come, they may go
Through the years I know
I will stay
And in the end I know that we'll find
Love so beautiful and divine
We'll be lovers for a lifetime, yeah
And I'll stay with you
I will stay with you
Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around

Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be
There is so much hatred war and poverty
Oh yeah
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
Cause they're the ones who's coming up
And the world is in their hands
When you teach the children
Teach 'em the very best you can
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah,
Just you and me.
Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the Judgment Day
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away.
Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our minds
Surely things will work out cause they do every time.
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah,
Just you and me.
Yeah, yeah
It's the God hour
The morning I wake up
Just for the breath of life I thank my maker
My mom say I come from hustlers and shakers
My mom buidin' on skyscrapers and acres
He said take us back to where we belong
I try to write a song
As sweet as the Psalms
Though I'm the type to bare arms
And wear my heart on my sleeve
Even when I fell in God I believe
Read the days that weave through the maze
The seasons so amazing
Feed them and raised them
Seasons are aging
Earthquakes, wars, and rumors
I want us to get by but
We're more than consumers
We more than shooters, more than looters
Created in this image so God live through us
And even in this generation, living through computers
Only love love love can reboot us
Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
Wake up, everybody
Need a little help,
Can't do it alone
Need a little help y'all
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
Need a little help, y'all
Can't do it alone
Need a little help, y'all
Can't do it alone
Oh, wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody

Been walking round 10th Street and Main
I've been looking for a girlie to give me cocaine
Cocaine's sure running round my brain
Been strolling round 10th Street and Main
Been looking for someone to give me cocaine
Cocaine's sure running round my brain
Well, Cocaine Lil and Morphine Sue
They've been strolling down the avenue two by two
Says Lil to Sue, ''It's gonna do no harm
If we both have a little old shot in the arm''
And it's all round my veins, oh cocaine
Doctor tell me again and again
He say, ''Cocaine's forces ain't for men''
Cocaine's sure running round my brain
You know the doctor tell me, tell me again and again
He say, ''Cocaine'll kill you son, it won't say when''
Cocaine's sure running round my brain
Yonder's baby, she's dressed in white

I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other boys to play
Been tempted for too long
Go on, give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to wanna your man
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason if you can
From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, move over, and give us some room
Go on, give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to wanna be your man
Give me a reason to love you
Reason
Don't you stop looking like some woman
Take a little look from the outside if you can
Saw a little tenderness
Go on, give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to want to be your man
Give me a reason to love you
Oh please, give me a reason if you can
This is the beginning of forever and ever, ever, ever
I'm so tired of playing
Of playing with this bow and this arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Gonna leave ti to the other boys to play
I've been tempted too long
Too long
I've been tempted every day
Tempted too long
Oh please
Give me a reason too love you
Give me a reason to want to love you
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason every day

You've been walking the line and you've been living on solid air
Don't know what's going 'round inside
And I can tell you that it's hard to hide when you're living on solid air
You've been painting the blues and you've been looking through solid air
You've been seeing it through and you've been looking through solid air

<@#John_McDermott_Farewell_To_Pripchat.txt#@>
It was a Friday in April 1986,
The day that nightmare begun,
When the dust it fell down on our buildings and streets,
And entered our buildings at noon,
Touched the grass and trees, bicycyles, cars
Beds, books and picture frames too,
We stood around helpless, confused,
Nobody knew what to do.
At two o'clock on Sunday the buses arrived,
A fleet of a thousand or more,
We were ordered to be on our way,
Not knowing what lay in store,
Some of our citizens fled in dismay,
And looked for a good place to hide,
When four o'clock came and the last bus pulled out,
T'was the day that our lively town died.
[Chorus:]
And the shirts, sheets and hankerchiefs cracks in the wind,
On the window ledge the withering plants,
And the Ladas and Volgas are parked by the door,
And the bikes in its usual stance.
Our evergreen tree lies withered and drooped,
They've poisoned our fertile land,
The streets speak a deafening silence,
Nothing stirs but the sand.
A visit back home is so eerie today,
A modern Pompei in view,
To see all the old shops ond the Forest Hotel,
And the Promyet cinema too.
The momentos we gathered all left behind,
Our photos and letters and cards,
The toys of our children untouchable now,
Toy Soldiers left standing on guard.
So fare thee well Pripchat, my home and my soul,
Your sorrow can know no relief.
A terrifying glimpse of the future you show,
Your children all scattered like geese,
The clothes lines still sways but the owners long gone.
As the nomadic era returns,
The questions in black and white blurred into grey,
The answer is too easy to learn.
[Chorus:]
[Chorus:]

Thou stock dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen
Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den
Thou greencrested lapwing thy screaming forbear

Thy crystal stream aftom how lovely it glides
And winds by the cot where my mary resides
How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave
As gathering sweet flowerets she stems thy clear wave

Flow gently sweet river the theme of my lays

How do you do young willie mcbride,
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun,
I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done
I see by your gravestone you were only 19
When you joined the great fall-in in 1916
I hope you died well and I hope you died clean
Or young willie mcbride was it slow and obscene.
Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined
Although you died back in 1916
In that faithful heart are you forever 19
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Enclosed then forever behind a glass frame
In an old photograph torn, battered and stained
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.
Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
The sun now it shines on the green fields of france
There's a warm summer breeze makes the red poppies dance
And look how the sun shines from under the clouds
There's no gas, no barbwire, there's no guns firing now
But here in this graveyard it's still no man's land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
To a whole generation that were butchered and damned.
Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
Now young willie mcbride I can't help wonder why
Do those who lie here know why did they die
Did they believe when they answered the call
Did they really believe that this war would end wars
Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain
The killing and the dying were all done in vain
For young willie mcbride it all happened again,
And again and again and again and again
Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

[Chorus:]
O cruel is the snow
That sweeps glencoe
And covers the grave o donald
And cruel was the foe
That raped glencoe
And murderd the house of
Macdonald
They came in a blizzard
We offered them heat
A roof o'er their heads
Dry shoes for their feet
We wined them and dined them
They ate of our meat
And they slept in the house of
Macdonald
[Chorus:]
They came from fort william
Wi' murder in mind
The campbells had orders
King william had signed
Put all to the sword
These words were underlined
And leave none alive called
Macdonald
[Chorus:]
They came in the night
When the men were asleep
This band o' argyles
Through snow soft and deep
Like murdering foxes
Among helpless sheep
They slaughtered the house of
Macdonald
[Chorus:]
Some died in their beds
At the hand of the foe
Some fled in the night
And were lost in the snow
Some lived to accuse him
That struck the first blow
But gone was the house of
Macdonald
<@#John_Mellencamp_A_Brand_New_Song.txt#@>
In the sweet belly of the moment
When you realize you've changed
And everything you're after
Has gone down the drain
You're nothing more than just a drifter
As you walk down your road
Not exactly the picture
You thought you'd be sending home
All these places mean nothing
It's the people we count on
Here without a purpose
Gone without a song
Yesterday seemed so sudden
Today seems to have no end
So you button up the buttons
Say goodbye to what has been
Those black and white pictures
That file through your veins
That's the trouble with the future
It always stays the same
And your pride's been shaken
And those people you count on
Here without a purpose
And gone without a song
Without a song
In the uncertainty of a new day
Opportunity may howl
You hear the voice in a new way
In the past you didn't know how
You're old enough to know the difference
Between and enemy and a friend
With the eyes of knowledge upon you
You're able to stand up again
Life is always in motion
And there's new people to count on
Here you may find a purpose
And sing a brand new song
Life is always in motion
New people to count on
Here we find a purpose
To sing a brand new song
Brand new song
Sing a brand new song

They like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smile in your face
They think, they're so cute when they got you in that condition
Well I think, it's a total disgrace
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
I've come out grinnin'
I fight authority, authority always wins
So I call up my preacher
I say: "Gimme strength for Round 5"
He said: "You don't need no strength, you need to grow up, son"
I said: "Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying,
And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun"
I fight authority, authority always wins

Hey, don't I know you from somewhere
Yeah, it was down in New Orleans
In one of those back-street bars in the quarter
Between Desire and Honalee
You were dancin' with a friend of Michael's
I remember how we met
You were talkin' to ol' Jimmy
And you lit my cigarette
[Chorus:]
How come you can't remember?
This is me you're talkin' to
From May through September
It was all about me 'n you, baby
It was all about me 'n you
Well it looks like to me
That you have conveniently forgotten everything
This confusion that has surrounded you
Is this your morality and not your brain
You've got a birthmark below your navel
You wear a size seven and a half shoe
You got this Rolex watch that I suspect you cobbed
From that doctor who said he loved you
[Chorus:]
Well you told me that you lived in the wind
Like a bird who never touched the ground
And if you did you would surely die without making a sound
"Live, let's live", that's all you kept sayin'
And our summer was full of life
We're gonna send them a postcard, and show 'em what it's like to be alive
But I never wanted to leave your side
No, I just couldn't believe that you'd lie
No, I never wanted to say "good-bye" baby
[Chorus:]

Hey hey America
You're some kind of crazy island
You're a place where dreams can grow
And there's history in your mansions
Good fortune in your plantings
You're well respected we all know
Hey hey America
Let's check your children
And see what they might know
Hey hey America
With your salesmanship and your salaries
And your strip malls a growing
And your handguns and your heresies
Don't hold no responsibility
In this land of easy millions
Hey hey America
It's so thrilling to see you grow
You're some kind of crazy island
You're some kind of crazy island
Well I prefer a sunny day
I just thought maybe I'd live a little bit longer that way
I don't think we should look the same
Or talk the same
Yeah I think it's a shame
And hey hey America
Across the new horizon
Are you sure that's the way we should go
'Cause I don't know
Maybe it's too late for all that
And hey hey America
You're wrapped up in your red, white and blue
Hey hey America
Wrapped up in yourself and your red, white and blue
Hey hey America
You're some kind of crazy island
You're some kind of crazy island

You're a place where dreams can grow

Poppi had a wife
And she was black and Poppi was white (shout it out)
Everything was rolling great (shout it out)
Till some man called her race a disgrace
Oh no
[Chorus]
Well Poppi went down to the river
To defend the honor of his wife
(somebody's killing somebody)
Gonna drown the man in the water (shout it out)
And the water was shiny like a new knife
But Poppi stopped at the banks of the delta
He said this sure ain't worth this man's life
Someday the wind of change
Is gonna blow on through
And put all of these jokers right
See man and sing now
[Chorus]
[chuck d]
Papa got a brand new bag
Delta blues got 'em dazed and confused
Came a long way crazy
Seems the abuse
Is racism's baby
It's wild
'Cause I connect the word with pain
Now some smile when they scream the name?
Funny how the times have changed
And the rhymes have changed
But some cat's frame remains the same
Agitating adjective
What gives? Die "n" word die
But I want to live
Known' all this
Where the word came from
I must be three times stupid
And stuck on dumb
If I use it and confuse it
With a term of love
Now popular culture
Can't stop 'til it gets enough
Underlined in marketing campaigns
I feel undermined
Heard the "n" word promotes the bottom line
Down by the river there's a great divide
Let's ride
[repeat: x4]
Don't call me nigga cause you know I don't like it like that
Shout it out
Yeah shout it out

Daylight is leaving
And the night is closing in
In just a few hours
The sleeplessness begins again
My head feels thick
And I'm unable to think
I guess I'll wait 'til tomorrow
And see what it brings
I have a little hope left
And I guess that's someplace to start
But my memory's full
Of a deep blue heart.
My fun-loving sense of humor
Is nowhere to be found
I stare into my own eyes
With tears flowing down
I'd sing out a song
But I've forgotten the tune
And the words now escape me
But I think it's about you
My vision now is way out in the dark
With just a little sight left
Of a deep blue heart
I see us both flying
In the clear blue sky
Floating out on the ocean
With the sun in our eyes
Caught in a moment
Just me and you
In complete honesty
Where everything is true
That's what I wanted to believe
Right from the start
Just a little place for myself
In a deep blue heart
Carve out a place for myself
In your deep blue heart
<@#John_Mellencamp_Let_It_All_Hang_Out.txt#@>
No parking by the sewer sign
Hot dog my razor broke
Water dripping up the spout
But hey I don't care - let it all hang out
Hanging from a pine tree by my knees
Sunshine through the shade
Nobody knows what it's all about
It's too much man - let it all hang out
Saw a man walking upside down
My TV's on the blink
Make Galileo look like a boy scout
Sorry about that - let it all hang out
Sleep all day, drive all night
Brain my numb can't stop now
For sure ain't no doubt
Keep an open mind - let it all hang out
It's raining inside a big brown moon
How does that mess your baby up leg
Eating a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut
Don't stop now honey woman - let it all hang out
Man in the straw house
Sure don't know what he's talkin' about
Don't leave me standing
On the front porch baby
Makes me feel like I'm selling something
Ask me in - let it all hang out

That our love is forever
We'll always be together
Oh my sweet love
You say you'll always come through
There's nothing that you won't do
Oh my sweet love
But I've heard it all before
I can't beg you anymore
Oh my sweet love
[Chorus]
You're the woman who knows exactly what she's doing
You're the girl who ate the apple off the tree
When you're good you're just crazy, when you're bad you're too much
You say you'd never hurt me
You'll never desert me
Oh my sweet love
That your words are always true
I can depend on you
Oh my sweet love
When you get in the wind
And all the storms begin
Oh my sweet love
When you're sad and dismantled
And all your senses rattled
Oh my sweet love

Sweet love standing at my gate

Let us know where you stand
Don't shout from the shadows

The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever
If I was to buy you
A diamond ring
Make you my princess
Would it mean anything
Would you take me for granted
And just curse my name
Now more than ever
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever
Who am I to say
What needs to be done

Another lost one
Caught between what's left
And what needs to be done
Now more than ever
The loss of love
The loss of our dreams
It's not too late
Now more than ever

Not just a slogan
But the world needs love

You may drive around in your town
Ina brand new shiny car
Your face in the wind your haircut's in
And your friends think you're bizarre
You may find a cushy job and I hope that you go far
But if you really want to taste some cool success
You better learn to play guitar
[Chorus:]
Play guitar--play guitar (3X)
You got your eyes on the cheerleader queen
And you're walkin' her home from school
You know that she's only seventeen
But you know that your a fool
You know you can't touch this stuff
Without money or a brand new car
Let me give you some good advice young man
You better learn to play guitar
[Chorus:]
All women around the world want a phony rock star
Who plays guitar
Well you can pump your iron and shine your shoes
And wear your hair just right
You go down out on cruisin' street
'Cause you want to score tonight
We all want to strut our stuff
And you really want to show your scars
Forget all about that macho shit
And learn how to play guitar

Now it's gone to those more beautiful
'Cause younger is always so pretty
The marmalade the bed we made
Seemed to stretch out into forever

Yeah we tried to stay together
Yeah, hey we had some good times
Reckless at heart but never, never unkind
In a perfect world we'd have done just fine
We're positively crazy now
<@#John_Mellencamp_Rooty_Toot_Toot.txt#@>
Got my hands on a little bit of dough
So I went to the grocery store
And got some steaks to go
Went by, and picked up my gal, Teddi Jo
We had ourselves a picnic
Beside a dirty road
Rooty toot toot
Rooty toot toot
We had it made in the shade
Like a bell through the hoop
Spinning and tumbling inside this
Hoola hoop
Living and learning rooty toot toot
We laid out a blanket
And started a fire.
Had the radio playing
From inside the car
I took off my shirt
And kicked off my shoes
She read the paper
And told me the news
She said, "There's a lot of people out there"
"Who are at the end of their rope"
"Sometimes, baby you've got to lay low"
Rooty toot toot
Rooty toot toot
We had it made in the shade
Like a bell through the hoop
Spinning and tumbling inside this
Hoola hoop
Livin' and learnin' rooty toot toot
We stayed there all day
We both get us some real
Good suntans
I thought, that was OK
Sometimes life can be so grand
We were getting' ready
To shake out that place
When the Illinois state trooper
Got in my face
He said, "You're on private property"
But once he cooled down, he was OK
Sometimes you're golden, man
That's all I got to say
Rooty toot toot
Rooty toot toot
We had it made in the shade
Like a bell through the hoop
Spinnin' and tumblin' inside this
Hoola hoop
Livin' and learnin' rooty toot toot

Homicide on the edge of town, and no one said it be easy
Sure has its ups and downs, and Garfield is laughing
Sitting in a dark room, making love with Sylvannia
No so called friends around, cigarettes and champagne
Gonna make me a big star, oh haven't you heard yet
Don't know how its going to go, too young to tell
And if its just my name, well hell I can change it
And if its for the fame, I guess I better grab it fast
But its just a dangerous game, that you're playing, oow
And you play it so well, so lets play it again
Sidewalks and Streetlights, sure make a pretty picture
Strangers in the night, are you going my way
You can drop me off at the corner, I can walk the rest of the way
Its not that far to the nearest star
And if its for the money, hey why can't I have it
And if its for the glory, I guess I better grab it fast
But its just a dangerous game, that you're playing, oow
And you play it so well, so lets play it again, oow
Lets play it again

Exotic cars scream down the sunset of dreams
On a hot sunny afternoon
I'm in a hot dog stand
With a strange love holding my hand
And we're both playin' it real cool
[Chorus:]
It's the summer of love
It's the summer of love, baby
It's the summer of love
Leastways, I'm hopin' it is
So we talk about her favorite movie star or something
She says, "Ya know, I've never done this before" (Yeah, sure)
"I know it sounds strange, but I can't remember your name
But I remember last night on the floor"
And we both laughed like she told a joke or something
She takes her neckerchief off and wraps it around my head
And says, "Hey, you"
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
So we both walk along alone
She says, "Hey, Mister, you sure make a strange kind of lover"
And I say "yeah"
I say "yeah"

Leastways, I'm thinkin' it just might be

Go on and admit it
You can't take it anymore
So why don't you quit it
Your scratching off again
Can't you see it
Well the whole thing was such a surprise
I know you and your hear crazy notions
Your pretty girls and no devotions
Down by the ocean middle class
Down by the gulf side, you let it all slide
But now your saying that you don't
Wanna be a sixteen year old girl, aah
But you don't want to turn twenty-five
You never ever, you never ever lied,
Where you been, aahh
You got to survive to keep yourself alive,
Yeah-ah, yeah
It ain't no big deal if your attitude is wrong
And you don't know how you feel
You just cop someone else's ideas
And masturbate yourself, make them your own
Well I, I don't mean to tell you what to do
Cause I've scratched off myself a time or two
Well it just leaves you blue, with nothing to do
And they think I'm crazy when I stay up all weekend
But now your saying that you don't
Wanna be a sixteen year old girl, oh yeah, aah
But you don't want to turn twenty-five
You never ever, you never ever lied
Where you been, aahh
You got to survive to keep yourself alive
Yeah-ah, my na na no, yeah
So if I'm walking down the street and you see me
Don't walk on by, say hey man
You know your looking, your looking so fine
You don't have to mean it, no no
Its just one of the regular lies that we've lived with
And this is a love song and
I'm writing it just to survive

But just don't take it away
You can stay if you want
Stay if you want

But just don't stay all day

Don't see much sense in lying here with you
The sex is over now, what is there left to do
Conversation, conversation baby, I don't talk that much
And now I don't know when I'm gonna see you again
I'm leaving tomorrow and this will all start again

Why do I think there's nobody out there
No one who wants me and no one who knows
I wait in this place and no one can see me
After all this time could I be so alone
I walk through this old town and still feel so lonely
The winds play sad songs high in the trees
The sun never shines this deep in the forest
And I in the darkness or is the darkness in me
I wanna break
I wanna break out
I wanna break
I wanna break out
I want to taste the tears of a lover
Warm as my blood as wet as a kiss
But it's only dark rain that falls in this old town
Old as my memory and as cold as my lips
I wanna break
I wanna break out
I don't wanna fake it
I want to break out
And when I feel lonely
And when I feel lonely
You fly me to the sun
Above this old town
From the top of a tower
I forget about living I forget about pain
At the edge of the platform
At the edge of a heartbeat
Above this old town I flew away
I wanna break
I wanna break out
I don't wanna fake it
I want to break out
I wanna break
I wanna break out

Stella's locked her door and she's requested some peace
She teaches the English at the American school
She teaches imaginary numbers and the golden rule
She says it's hard to worry about the future
When your past is knocking at your door
Sweet mistakes and information
Have been her lovers before
Hello, all you losers
You've got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here
She runs the motors and the music
On the carousel ride
She catches the children on the horses
As they fall through the rye
It's hard to see the future
When your back is bending over your shoes
It's hard holding on to nothing
When you've got nothing to lose
Hello, all you losers
You've got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here
I guess you heard about ol' Pee Wee
We had to tear his playhouse down
Then they put him in the electric chair
We'll have some fun now
When you see her, give her some compliments on her looks
She'll be wearing a Mardi Gras dress
Coming after you with words and books
We've given you the best seats in the house
So don't be late St. Peter is at the door
And he ain't no man to wait
Hello, all you losers
You've got nothing to fear
This may not be the end of the world
But you can see it from here hello, all you losers

The actress reminded me of you
Her attitude, the way that she smiled
She was doin' a part girl, like you used to do
I do believe you played it better
If it wasn't better, it was just as strong
I would've called you up on the telephone that night
But somehow girl, it'd been all wrong
I heard you married a stranger
In a horse and carriage that was covered with gold
Well, you wanted to be different and still fit in
I wonder if you feel different at all now that you're older
Hope you didn't lose that innocent laughter
Oh, God I hope time didn't take that away
All those junior high nights underneath the front porch light
A good Catholic girl during the day
Oh oh oh, just watching the time grow
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
Oh oh oh, just watching the time grow
If I saw you today, girl, I wouldn't even know ya
Well, I know it wasn't that big of a love affair
But boy, it sure seemed like one back then
When I parlay the memories into their proper places
I can see now, we were no more than friends
Ooh, your kisses sure tasted sweet
But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen
I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol' man
As it seemed like it was to me
Oh oh oh, just watching the time grow
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
Oh oh oh, just watching the time grow
If I saw you today, girl, if I could be with you today
I wouldn't even know ya

I dream of her always even when I don't dream
Her name's on my tongue and her blood's in my stream
Wait a while eternity

Come to me, run to me, come to me now
I'm rollin' my sweetheart
I'm flowin' by God
She reminds me of a chess game with someone I admire
Or a picnic in the rain after a prairie fire
Her heart is as big as this whole goddamn jail
And she's sweeter than saccharine at a drug store sale
Wait a while eternity
Old Mother Nature's got nothin' on me
Come to me, run to me, come to me now

And spotlights the snowflakes like the dust in the sun

We were sitting in the back seat just shooting the breeze
With her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees
Signed, Just Married
Just married, Just married
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ain't what you ain't
So listen up Buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood
Signed, Dear Abby
Thank you

<@#John_Prine_Grandpa_Was_A_Carpenter.txt#@>
Grandpa wore his suit to dinner
Nearly every day
No particular reason
He just dressed that way
Brown necktie and a matching vest
And both his wingtip shoes
He built a closet on our back porch
And put a penny in a burned out fuse.
[Chorus]
Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses stores and banks
Chain smoked Camel cigarettes
And hammered nails in planks
He was level on the level
And shaved even every door
And voted for Eisenhower
'Cause Lincoln won the war.
Well, he used to sing me "Blood on the Saddle"
And rock me on his knee
And let me listen to radio
Before we got T.V.
Well, he'd drive to church on Sunday
And take me with him too!
Stained glass in every window
Hearing aids in every pew.
[Chorus]
Now my grandma was a teacher
Went to school in Bowling Green
Traded in a milking cow
For a Singer sewing machine
She called her husband "Mister"
And walked real tall and pride
And used to buy me comic books
After grandpa died.
[Chorus]
<@#John_Prine_Humidity_Built_The_Snowman.txt#@>
Does he still think about her
Why there was never really any doubt
Every time he lights a candle
Or blows a candle out
The scientific nature of the ordinary man
Is to go on out and do the best you can
I don't think that you know
That I think you don't know
That old barometer goes crazy baby
Every time it starts to snow
You won't find me walking
Round your part of town
Humidity built the snowman
Sunshine brought him down
This world is full of people
They never seem to fall
Somebody said they seen you
You hadn't changed at all
The fundamental story
Of the contemporary man
Is to walk away and someday understand
I don't think that you know
That I think you don't know
That old barometer goes crazy baby
Every time it starts to snow
You won't find me walking
Round your part of town
Humidity built the snowman
Sunshine brought him down
The scientific nature of the ordinary man
Is to go on out and do the best you can
I don't think that you know
That I think you don't know
That old barometer goes crazy baby
Every time it starts to snow
You won't find me walking
Round your part of town
Humidity built the snowman
Sunshine brought him down
Humidity built the snowman
Sunshine brought him down
Brought him down

She don't like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
She's my baby
I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her go
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby
And I'm his honey
Never gonna let him go
[Chorus]
In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes.
She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies make her horny
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
She takes a lickin'
And keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her go.
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's a wacked out weirdo and a love bug junkie
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
He's my baby
I don't mean maybe
Never gonna let him go
[Chorus]
In spite of ourselves
<@#John_Prine_Its_A_Cheating_Situation.txt#@>
It's a cheating situation
A stealing invitation
To take what's not really ours
To make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheating situation Just a cheap imitation
Doing what we have to do
When there's no love at home
There's no use in pretending
There'll be a happy ending
Where our love's concerned
Sweetheart, we both know
We'll take love where we find it
Love and try to hide it
It's all we got
For we know they're not
Gonna let us go
It's a cheating situation
A stealing invitation
To take what's not really ours
To make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheating situation
Just a cheap imitation
Doing what we have to do
When there's no love at home
It's a cheating situation
When there's no love at home

People who are sad - sometimes they wear a frown
And people who are kings - sometimes they wear a crown
But all the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
People without love - sometimes build a fence around
The garden up above - that makes the whole world go 'round
But all the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
So cold, sometimes it gets so cold
You may love your wife - you may lose your family
You may lose you mind - just to keep your sanity
But the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
People that are glad - sometimes they wear a smile
And people without dreams they walk the extra mile
But all the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people dwn
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
So cold, sometimes it gets so cold
<@#John_Prine_Sabu_Visits_The_Twin_Cities_Alone.txt#@>
The movie wasn't really doing so hot
Said the new producer to the old big shot
Its dying on the edge of the great midwest
Sabu must tour or forever rest.
Hey look ma
Here comes the elephant boy
Bundled all up in his corduroy
Headed down south towards illinois
From the jungles of east st. paul.
His manager sat in the office alone
Staring at the numbers on the telephone
Wondering how a man could send a child actor
To visit in the land of the wind chill factor.
Sabu was sad the whole tour stunk
The airlines lost the elephant's trunk
The roadie got the rabies and the scabies and the flu
They was low on morale but they was high on.
<@#John_Prine_Souvenirs.txt#@>
All the snow has turned to water
Christmas days have come and gone
Broken toys and faded colors
Are all that's left to linger on
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they rob me
Of my childhood souvenirs
[Chorus]
Memories they can't be boughten
They can't be won at carnivals for free
Well it took me years
To get those souvenirs
And I don't know how they slipped away from me
Broken hearts and dirty windows
Make life difficult to see
That's why last night and this mornin'
Always look the same to me
I hate reading old love letters
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they rob me
Of my sweetheart's souvenirs
[Chorus]
<@#John_Prine_Speed_Of_The_Sound_Of_Loneliness.txt#@>
You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you're feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all
Chorus:
So what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Get left so far behind
Repeat Chorus:
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It's crossed the evil line today
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
We ain't got one word to say
Repeat Chorus:
Ending:
You're out there running just to be on the run
You're out there running just to be on the run
You're out there running just to be on the run
<@#John_Prine_Storm_Windows.txt#@>
I can hear the wheels of the automobiles so far away
Just moving along through the drifting snow
It's times like these when the temperatures freeze
I sit alone just looking at the world through a storm window
Down on the beach, the sandman sleeps
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps
And a country band that plays for keeps
They play it so slow
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Well, the spirits were high 'til the well went dry
For so long the raven at my window was only a crow
I bought the rights to the inside fights and watched a man
Just beating his hand against a storm window
While miles away o'er hill and stream
A candle burns a witch's dreams
Silence is golden 'til it screams
Right through your bones
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Storm windows gee but I'm getting old
Storm window keep away the cold
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down, oh no
<@#John_Prine_The_Accident.txt#@>
Last night I saw an accident
On the corner of third and green
Two cars collided and I got excited
Just being part of that scene
It was mrs. tom walker and her beautiful daughter
Pamela, was driving the car
They got hit by a man in a lite blue sedan
Who had obviously been to a bar.
Chorus:
They don't know how lucky they are
They could have run into that tree
Got struck by a bolt of lightning
And raped by a minority.
It was a four way stop dilemma
We all arrived the same time
I yielded to the man to the right of me
And he yielded it right back to mine
Well, the yield went around and around and around
Till pamela finally tried
Just then the man in the light blue sedan
Hit pamela's passenger side.
Chorus:
Pamela hit her head on the mirror
Mr. walker got a bump on the knee
The man hit himself in the face and said
"why does this happen to me? "
The neighbors came out
And they gathered about
Saying "hey! who hit who anyway? "
And the police arrived at a quarter to five
And pronounced all the victims "okay".
Chorus:
<@#John_Prine_The_Hobo_Song.txt#@>
There was a time
When lonely men would wander
Through this land
Rolling aimlessly along
So many times
I've heard of their sad story
Written in the words
Of dead men's songs.
Down through the years
Many men have yearned
For freedom
Some found it
Only on the open road
So many tears of blood
Have fell around us
'cause you can't always do what you are told.
Please tell me where
Have all the hobos gone to
I see no fire burning down
By the rusty railroad track
Could it be that time
Has gone and left them
Tied up in life's eternal traveling sack.
Last Sunday night
I wrote a letter
To my loved one
I signed my name
And knew I'd stayed away
Too long
There was a time
When my heart was free to wander
And I remember as I sing
This hobo song.
<@#John_Prine_You_Never_Can_Tell.txt#@>
It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished 'em well
You could see that pierre
Did truly love the mademoiselle.
And the young monsieur and madame
Have rung the chapel bell,
"see'est la vie,"
-say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment
With a two room roebuck sale
The coolerator was filled
With t.v. dinners and ginger ale
But when pierre found work,
The little money comin' worked out well
"see'est la vie,"
-say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono
Boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records
All rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down
The rapid tempo of the music fell
"see'est la vie,"
-say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can tell
They bought a souped up jitney
'twas a cherry in fifty-three
They drove it down to new orleans
To celebrate their anniversary.
It was there where pierre was wedded
To the lovely mademoiselle,
"see'est la vie,"
-say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can tell
It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished 'em well
You could see that pierre
Did truly love the mademoiselle.
And the young monsieur and madame
Have rung the chapel bell,
"see'est la vie,"
-say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can tell
<@#John_Prine_You_Never_Even_Call_Me_By_My_Name.txt#@>
[spoken] This is a song I wrote with John Prine 4 years ago (1972) and we
tried to put into one song, everything that had ever been in any of the
country and western songs we had ever heard. Tried to put it all into one
song. Serves us right. This is what came out:
Well it was all I could do to keep from cryin'
Some times it seems so useless to remain
You're the one who always tried to change me
And that is why I will always stay the same
Chorus:
But I'll hang around as long as you will let me
I never minded standing in the rain
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
But you never even call me by my name
No, you don't have to call me Freddy Fender
You don't have to call me Charlie Pride
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore
Even though you know you're on my fighting side
Chorus- this verse only:
And I'm gonna hang around as long as you will let me
I never minded standing in the rain (when nights are cold and lonely)
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
But you never even call me by name.
[musical by mouth improv done in a Merle Haggard-like tone -no words]
[spoken] I've seen my name, a few times in the phone book
[spoken] And on the neon sign above the bar I used to own
[spoken] And there's only one thing I'm really sure of was that sucker
You're gonna hear it when my savior calls me home
[spoken] That's a lot to get into one song. We left out all the good stuff.
Dallas, dope, divorce, dead dogs, trains prison Christmas, mothers, farms, and
trucks. Mothers, prison, trucks, trains, farms, Christmas, and dead dogs are
essential, you can't have a good country song without them things. And with
all due respect this song needs mothers, prison, trucks, trains, farms,
Christmas and dead dogs and is that it? Whatever it is - it's also 4 minutes
long already (they're going 'when's he gonna end, when's he gonna end in the
booth back there') So I'll just tack this verse on the end here-
Ever since the dog died and mama went to prison
Ain't nothin' round this old farm that's been the same
[Spoken] You know when mom broke out last Christmas
She drove the getaway laundry truck into a train
Chorus:
But I'll hang around as long as you will let me
I never minded standing in the rain
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
But you never even call me by my name
<@#John_Waite_Euroshima.txt#@>
Storm warning on the radio
Flags and banners
Armageddon on the late night show
And like my father before
We've got love on the barricades
Sweethearts who miss
Battle hymns and hit parades
Armageddon cascades
What's my name
Jack of spades
Outside my window
Is darkness and rain
And I'm only dreaming
Til the sun shines again
Got nothing but a uniform
General issue and rules that I will warn
On my name tags are sewn
Serial number stamped across my name
My fate is decided by kangaroo court
It's insane
Tin soldiers marching in flame
What's my name
Jack of spades
Outside my window
Is darkness and rain
And I'm only dreaming
Until the sun shines again
There's no phoenix rising
And the future's stillborn
Dark shadows are dancing
My coat of colors is torn
In Euro
Yeah, oh.
Supernova on the Baltic Sea
Push button logic dehumanizing me
And it gets a lot like TV
We've got children starving in the streets
Genocide's the fashion
And no man withstands its heat
Kings and pawns all compete
First gets the oil and the gold
Outside my window
Clouds fill my sky
And I'm only dreaming
That there's still time to turn the tide
There's no phoenix rising
And the future's stillborn
Dark shadows are dancing
My coat of colors is torn
In Euroshima
Oh no
Euro
Euroshima
Oh no
Euro
<@#John_Waite_Have_You_Seen_Her_My_Friend.txt#@>
The day begins with CNN
And it looks like WWIII
The forecast calls for freezing rain
It doesn't matter much to me
The Wheel of Fortune never turns
It's all insanity
Have you seen her my friend?
I've been up all night
I've been out all day
Though I try to pretend
That she's still in town
And I'll be ok
Till I can hear her footsteps
Outside my door again
I'll wonder if she's lonely like me
Oh, no! no!
Have you seen her my friend?
The dreams I have are troubled dreams
I thought that I could change
The winter's come inside my head
And it's blowing through my brain
The road I'm on won't straighten out
So here I go again
Have you seen her my friend?
I've been up all night
I've been out all day
Though I try to pretend
That she's still in town
And I'll be ok
Till I can hear her footsteps
Outside my door again
I'll wonder if she's lonely like me
Oh, no! no!
Have you seen her my friend?
And if she calls you
Say hello
Don't tell her how things are
The sun may shine tomorrow
Tomorrow baby
Maybe tomorrow
I just don't know
Have you seen her my friend?
I've been up all night
I've been out all day
Though I try to pretend
That she's still in town
And I'll be ok
Have you seen her my friend?
I've been up all night
Out all day
Though I try to pretend
That she's still in town
And I'll be ok
Cause I can feel her
I can sense her
I can feel her everywhere
I can feel her
I can sense her
I can breathe her
In the air
In my world
I can sense her
I believe
And I still care
I can feel her
And I know she's
In my world
She's everywhere
She's everywhere
I can feel her
Everywhere
<@#John_Waite_I-95.txt#@>
In the cruel month grey morning
I woke up freezing cold
To possibly start over
Before the day got old
To my anger in my solitude
I had to say goodbye
So I turned on my ignition
No reason to deny
I-95
Alright
From the canyons on the sidewalks
Where the Wall St. banners fly
To the farmlands and the deserts
And the flying saucer skies
To the running of the life lines
The highway spirits rhyme
There's a voice that speaks so clear to me
And says
I-95
Yeah
And I say hey hey hey yeah
I'm so glad I'm alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm so glad I can drive
Burning down I-95
It's a simple song of freedom
And it feels like de ja vu
Tai Jean knew about it
John Lennon sang it too
It's the ringing bell of truth and free speech
On the radio
It's there in the Constitution
It's little sister
It's called rock 'n roll
And she's alright
And I sing
Hey hey hey yeah
I'm so glad I'm alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm so glad I can drive
Burning down I-95
Yeah yeah
I'm so glad I can drive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm so glad I'm alive
Burning down I-95
Yeah
I-95

In daylight

At nighttime too

She's alright
She's alright
She's alright
Yeah
Said she's alright

You've been livin' with your broken heart
I've been trying hard to play the part
But some pretender with an easy smile
Can tell you it's alright
I ain't got nothin' if you leave me now
Just a hypocrite with broken vows
If I could change the way of circumstance
I'd do it just for you
I'm still in love
I'm still in love
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find
I'm still in love
I've been staring in an empty glass
In a downtown bar thinking about the past
I'm spinning 'round you like a moth in flames
But I still can't help myself
And should you tell me
That you've changed your mind
Made some decisions
Gonna cross that line
I can always be available
Cause time is on my side
I'm still in love
I'm still in love
(I'm) these days (still in love) I find
I'm still in love with you
Time will tell the truth for us
It can only make us strong
It'll be alright

Girl sometimes it seems to me
That I don't say the things I should
To you I act like I'm no good
And you wait for me patiently
This house
Is not a home without you
It takes two hearts to share
Your eyes will always see through me
And bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you
You're everything I need
And through the good and bad times
You have always been there
We hold each other close
You tell me its alright
The nights we fight about it
Never dream of giving up
That's the price of love
Love sometimes it makes us cry
Forgive me when I get it wrong
Sometimes it's hard
To be that strong
And oh I would do anything
For you I'd turn the stars around
I'd find the way somehow
This time you'll see I'll build
A bridge to you again
Love shines to sweep away the past
We're more than lovers more than friends
And through the good and bad times
You have always been there
We hold each other tight you tell me it's alright
The nights we fight about it
Never think of giving up
That's the price of love
Your eyes will always see through me
And bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you
You're everything I need
And through the good and bad times
You have always been there
We hold each other close you tell me its alright
And sometimes I can't give enough
That's the price of love
That's the price of love
That's the price of love
<@#John_Waite_The_Glittering_Prize.txt#@>
There's a silent movie
Running off its reel inside my mind
As I try to fall asleep tonight
On prescription lullabies
In the darkness there's a doorway
That leads me back to you forever
But these days there's only
You and I in photographs
Ambitions and dreams we've shared
Now I wonder who has got the last laugh
Cause I know you're crying
And you know I'm cold inside
Got no expectations for my pride
And I reach for that glittering prize
I remember on our wedding day
Looking back at you
Our eyes met and we said goodbye
As we both said "I do"
Didn't I make a promise baby
I would stand by you forever
But sometimes the best-laid plans
Flare up and blow away
And fairytale logic comes
Sweeps you heart
Your soul' your world away
Cause I know you're crying
And you know I'm cold inside
And I'm tired of living with that lie
And now time is flying
And you know I miss that fire
But I feel for you
I've got desire
So I reach for that glittering prize
No doll's house dreams
Or valentines
Just the future at the door
Just leaving trains and empty rooms
A broken band of gold
Cause love don't live here anymore
And some nights I'll come and see you
And I know you'll let me in
Two strangers in silence now
Cause you know in love
We could never win
I know you're crying
And you know I'm cold inside
And I'm tired of living with this lie
These days
Cause now time is flying
And you know I miss that fire
Cause I feel for you
I've got desire
Baby baby
In my world (in your world tonight)
Reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
That's all I ever seemed to do (in your world tonight)
Was reach for the glittering prize (in my world)
I lost myself when I lost you (in your world tonight)
As I reached for that glittering prize (in my world)
And I hope that all your dreams come true (in your world tonight)
When you reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
In your world
In my world tonight
<@#John_Waite_When_I_See_You_Smile.txt#@>
Sometimes I wonder
If I'd ever make it through
Through this world
without having in you
I just wouldn't have a clue
Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world's closing in on me
And there's no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me
Sometimes I want to give up
want to give in
I want to quit the fight
And then I see you baby
And everything's alright
Everything's alright
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining
right through the rain
When I see you smile
Baby when I see you smile at me
Oh yeah
Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What the touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew
Hey
And when the rain is falling
I don't feel it
Cause you're here with me now
I want to ask you baby
It's all I'll ever need
All I'll ever need
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining

Baby when I see you smile at me
Sometimes I want to give up
I want to give in
I want to quit the fight
Then one look at you baby

Oh you know I can do anything

When I was young
They took me to the dentist
I had a toothache
But that's okay
They gave me some time
And that night in my bedroom
I worked it loose
Like I used to do
One little boy in a dentist's chair
Heard a hundred angels
flying past him
What a gas
Sitting there
The same little boy with a few more years
Took a sniff of this
A taste of that
What a drag
Nothing there
And then one day he saw you walk
And heard you didn't talk
Saw the writing on the wall
It didn't thunder anymore
White lightening it's got nothing on you
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
White lightening way out in the blue
With a million angels singin'
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord
Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in
I will take out everything while you're sleeping
Always refusing the heavenly music
When you awake it will have a new meaning
White lightening it's got nothing on you
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
White lightening way out in the blue
With a million angels singin'
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord
Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in
I will take out everything while you're sleeping
Always refusing the heavenly music
When you awake it will have a new meaning
White lightening it's got nothing on you

Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
White lightening way out in the blue
With a million angels singin'
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord

I'll have a blue blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree

And when those blue blue heartaches start hurtin'
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white but I'll have a blue blue

Come all you rounders if you want to hear the story about a brave engineer
Casey Jones was the roller's name on a 68 wheeler course he won his fame
Caller called Casey bout half past four he kissed his wife at the station door
He climbed in the cabin with his orders in his hand
Said this is the trip to the Promised Land
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin Casey Jones orders in his hand
Casey Jones leanin' out the window taking a trip to the Promised Land
Through South Memphis Yards on a fly rain been a fallin' and the water was
high
Everybody knew by the engine's moan that the man at the throttle was Casey
Jones
Well Jones said fireman now don't you fret Sam Webb said we ain't a givin' up
yet
We're eight hours late with the southbound mail
We'll be on time or we're leavin' the rails
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin...
Dead on the rail was a passenger train blood was a boilin' in Casey's brain
Casey said hey now look out ahead jump Sam jump or we'll all be dead
With a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake north Mississippi was wide
awake
I see railroad official said he's a good engineer to be a laying dead
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin...
Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of pain all the part of a railroad
train
Sweat and toil the good and the grand part of the life of a railroad man
Casey Jones climbed in the cabin...
<@#Johnny_Cash_Cocaine_Blues.txt#@>
Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head.
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I run too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico.
Laid in the hot joint takin' the pill
In walked a sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down.
I said yes sir my name is Willie Lee
If you've got a warrant just read it to me
Shot her down cause she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more.
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friends for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in the county jail.
Early next morning about a half past nine
I spied a sheriff comin' down the line
Coughed and coughed as he cleared his throat
He said come on you dirty hack into that district court
Into the court room my trial began
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw that little judge commence to look about.
In about five minutes in walked a man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered Lordy Lordy have mercy on me
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
Ninety nine years in the Folsom pen
Ninety nine years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on you gotta listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
<@#Johnny_Cash_Crazy_Old_Soldier-(w_Ray_Charles).txt#@>
I've had fame and fortune
Women come knock on my door
I've lived to the limit
Maybe a little bit more
There are so many stories
About how I got out of control
Some say it's a woman
Some say it's my troubled soul
I'm like a crazy old soldier
Fighting a war on my own
Just me and the whiskey
And the bottles are ten thousand strong
You'd think I'd give up
As many times as I've been hit
But like a crazy old soldier
I just don't know when to quit
Bar rooms and bedrooms
Are just faces and places and names
Once for the pleasure
And Lord knows once for the pain
I've tried to forget her
And all of the things that we've done
But as long as there are memories
I'll never hang up my gun
I'm like a crazy old soldier
Fighting a war on my own
Just me and the whiskey
And the bottles are ten thousand strong
You'd think, I'd give up
As many times as I've been hit
But like a crazy old soldier
I just don't know when to quit
Like a crazy old soldier
I just don't know when to quit

We all were called to come back
To the old home on the farm
Mother's passed away, what a mournful day
And as my daddy watched
His eyes were filled with pain and hurt
When someone stepped upon a rose
And crushed it in the dirt
"Don't step on Mother's roses," Daddy cried
"She planted them the day she was my bride
And every time I see a rose, I see her smilin' face
She made my darkest days look bright
'Round the old home place"
"Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em grow
The way they did since many years ago
They'll bloom for me each year
And I'll have Mother near
Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em grow"
Years have passed away
And how the old home place has changed
Daddy had to go, we all miss him so
Children pick the roses as they go along the way
But when their petals are abused, I hear my daddy say
"Don't step on Mother's roses," Daddy cried
"She planted them the day she was my bride
And every time I see a rose, I see her smilin' face
She made my darkest days look bright
'Round the old home place"
"Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em grow
The way they did since many years ago
They'll bloom for me each year
And I'll have Mother near
Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em grow"

A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm
He changed his clothes and shined his boots
And combed his dark hair down
And his mother cried as he walked out
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town
He laughed and kissed his mom
And said your Billy Joe's a man
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
I'd gun nobody down
But she cried again as he rode away
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town
He sang a song as on he rode
His guns hung at his hips
He rode into a cattle town
A smile upon his lips
He stopped and walked into a bar
And laid his money down
But his mother's words echoed again
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town
He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
And tried to tell himself he had at last he had become a man
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
And he heard again his mothers words
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town
Filled with rage then
Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired
Before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the floor
The crowd all gathered 'round
And wondered at his final words
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

I have picked wild roses
Far into September
But I had no one to give the flowers to
I needed the celebration
of September coronation
And I admitted to myself I needed you
I've watched the gentle winds change
The colored shades of meadows
I've seen the dillon flowers
That had no name
But I let my vase stay empty
Like my old and empty heart
Picking flowers for yourself is not the same
Don't you think its come our time to be together
Lets gather up our scattered words of love
And make them rhyme
Lets go pick some flowers and fill our empty vases
Don't you think its come our time?
Would you take the small bouquet that leaves a fragrance on my fingers
And the feeling that your love is close at hand
Thank you for the flowers
Now lets walk through the meadows
To the road where our divines caress the sand
Don't you think its come our time to be together
Lets gather up our scattered words of love
And make them rhyme
Lets go pick some flowers now and fill our empty vases
Don't you think its come our time?
Don't you think its come our time?

From the Indian reservation to the governmental school
Well they're goin' to educate me to the white men's Golden Rule
And I'm learning very quickly for I've learned to be ashamed
And I come when they call Billy though I've got an Indian name
And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near
And when they think that they'd changed me cut my hair to meet their needs
Will they think I'm white or Indian quarter blood or just half breed
Let me tell you Mr teacher when you say you'll make me right
In five hundred years of fighting not one Indian turned white
And there are drums...
Well you thought that I knew nothing when you brought me here to school
Just another empty Indian just America's first fool
But now I can tell you stories that are burnt and dried and old
But in the shadow of their telling walks the thunder proud and bold
And there are drums...
Long Pine and Sequoia Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull
There's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full
Crazy Horse the legend those who bit off Custer's soul
They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo
And there are drums...
Well you may teach me this land's hist'ry but we taught it to you first
We broke your hearts and bent your journeys broken treaties left us cursed
Even now you have to cheat us even though you this us tame
In our losing we found proudness in your winning you found shame
And there are drums...

Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder why it should be thus all the day

When we see Jesus coming in glory when he comes from his home in the sky
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion we'll understand it all by and
by
Farther along
<@#Johnny_Cash_Flesh_And_Blood.txt#@>
Beside a singing mountain stream
Where the willow grew
Where the silver leaf of maple
Sparkled in the morning dew
I braided twigs of willows
Made a string of buckeye beads
But flesh and blood needs flesh And blood
And you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
And you're the one I need
I leaned against a bark of birch
And I breathed the honey dew
I saw a North-bound flock of geese
Against a sky of baby blue
Beside the lily pads
I carved a whistle from a reed
Mother Nature's quite a lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
And you're the one I need.
A cardinal sang just for me
And I thanked him for the song
Then the sun went slowly down the west
And I had to move along
These were some of the things
On which my mind and spirit feed
But flesh and blood need flesh and blood
And you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
And you're the one I need.
So when this day was ended
I was still not satisfied
For I knew everything I touched
Would wither and would die
And love is all that will remain
And grow from all these seeds
Mother Nature's quite a lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
And you're the one I need.

I keep hearin' your concern about my happiness
All that thought you've given me is conscience I guess
If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me
I'm havin' lots of fun
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me, I've nothin' to do
Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me, I've nothin' to do
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me, I've nothin' to do
Don't tell me, I've nothin' to do
<@#Johnny_Cash_Forty_Shades_Of_Green.txt#@>
I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at Dingle to the shores of Dunardee
I miss the river Shannon and the folks at Skibbereen
The moorlands and the midlands with their forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips as soft as eiderdown
Again I want to see and do the things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar and there's forty shades of green
(Green green green forty shades of green)
I wish that I could spend an hour at Dublin's churching surf
I'd love to watch the farmers drain the bogs and spade the turf
To see again the thatching of the straw the women glean
I'd walk from Cork to Larne to see the forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl...
<@#Johnny_Cash_Gentle_On_My_Mind.txt#@>
Well, it's knowin' that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag rolled up
Stashed behind your couch
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some lines
That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my memory and keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or somethin' that somebody said 'cause
They thought we fit together walkin'
It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgivin'
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're movin' on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory and for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the coal mines and the junkyards
And the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see
You walkin' on the back roads by the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup
From some gurglin', cracklin' cauldron in some train yard
My beard a roughenin' coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're wavin' from the back roads
By the rivers of my memory ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
<@#Johnny_Cash_Girl_In_Saskatoon.txt#@>
I left a little town
A little south of Hudson Bay
I couldn't find a thing, to make a rounder want to stay
I fought the wind across the barren waste in the crystal doom
Going for to marry the girl in Saskatoon
I'm glad I realized that no one could take her place
My heart was beating for her like the winter beat my face
But knowing that I'd see her made my spirit bright as June
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
South and West and following the cold December sun
I bedded down in the Carragana when my daily trek was done
Then up and pressing onward by the light of the morning moon
A prodigal returning to the girl in Saskatoon
Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow
I made the final miles where the prairie lilies grow
The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
My journey was forgotten
When I held her in my arms
My wanderlust was stifled
By possession of her charms
And even beneath the steeple
Where we couldn't wait till June
I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon

Well the blue's still in the water and the blue's still in the sky
And way beyond the blue there's someone watchin' from on high
My clothes may be ragged and my shoes may be worn
But I've been a wealthy boy since I've been born
Cause I call him when I'm troubled and I call him when I'm weak
And he always pulls me through my troubles some way and I believe
He'll be there (he'll be there) he'll be there (he'll be there)
Like he always is to answer when I call him
My mother used to tell me I should take it slow
The pace is not what matters it's the direction that you go
Keep your feet upon the path and your eyes upon the goal
You'll have all the joy a heart could ever hold
Cause I call him when I'm troubled...
Like he always is to answer when I call him

Today I passed you on the street and my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side and he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly, I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
It's hard to know, another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh, Heaven only knows how much I miss you
<@#Johnny_Cash_I_Heard_The_Bells_On_Christmas_Day.txt#@>
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth goodwill to men.
I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along unbroken song
Of peace on earth goodwill to men.
And in despair I bowed my head
There is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong that mocks the song
Of peace on earth goodwill to men.
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, nor doubt he sleeps
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth goodwill to men.
'Til ringin' singin' on its way
The world revolve from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chance so blind,
On earth goodwill to men.
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doubt he sleeps
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth goodwill to men.

Because you're mine, I walk the line.
I find it very, very easy to be true,
I find myself alone when each day's through,
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you,
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
As sure as night is dark and day is light,
I keep you on my mind both day and night,
And happiness I've known proves that it's right,
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
You've got a way to keep me on your side,
You give me cause for love that I can't hide,
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide,
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine,
I keep my eyes wide open all the time,
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds,
Because you're mine, I walk the line.

The rain slammed hard as bars
It caught me--by surprise
Mutts of the planet
And shook me down for alibis
I'm waiting
For the keeper to release me
Debating this sentence
Biding my time
In memories
Of old friends of mine
In daydreams of Birdland
I see my soul on fire
Burning up the bandstand
Next time
I'll be bigger!
I'll be better than ever!
I'll be happily attached
To my cold hard cash!
But now Manhattan holds me
To a chair in the sky
With the bird in my ears
And boats in my eyes
Going by
There are things I wish I'd done
Some friends I'm gonna miss
Beautiful lovers
I never got the chance to kiss
Daydreamin' drugs the pain of living
Processions of missing
Lovers and friends
Fade in and they fade out again
In these daydreams of rebirth
I see myself in style
Raking in what I'm worth
Next time
I'll be bigger!
I'll be better than ever!
I'll be resurrected royal!
I'll be rich as standard oil!
But now, Manhattan holds me
To a chair in the sky
With the bird in my ears
And boats in my eyes
Going by

Down in the garden
Under a leaf, she was smoking her keef
And she was looking at stardom
Everything's bright as she draws on the pipe
And the bowl glows redder
And things look better
Mars is a ruby
Saturn is sapphire, it burns with a blue fire
Colors run through me
Loosen my thinking, they're flashing and blinking
And always changing, rearranging
Ballerina, Valerie now
Move me through your crimson dances
Terragan, a red bandana
Bring me down your silver trances
Down in the garden
Under an oak, he was drinking his Coke
And he was looking at stardom
Everything's bright as he draws on the pipe
And the bowl glows redder
And things go better with Coca-Cola

Come to the dinner gong
The table is laden high
Fat bellies and hungry little ones
Tuck your napkins in
And take your share
Some get the gravy
And some get the gristle
Some get the marrow bone
And some get nothing
Though there's plenty to spare
I took my share down by the sea
Paper plates and Javex bottles on the tide
Seagulls come down
And they squawk at me
Down where the water-skiers glide
Some turn to Jesus
And some turn to heroin
Some turn to rambling round
Looking for a clean sky
And a drinking stream
Some watch the paint peel off
Some watch their kids grow up
Some watch their stocks and bonds
Waiting for that big deal
American Dream
I took my dream down by the sea
Yankee yachts and lobster pots and sunshine
And logs and sails
And Shell Oil pails
Dogs and tugs and summertime
Back in the banquet line
Angry young people crying
Who let the greedy in
And who left the needy out
Who made this salty soup
Tell him we're very hungry now
For a sweeter fare
In the cookie I read
"Some get the gravy
And some get the gristle
Some get the marrow bone
And some get nothing
Though there's plenty to spare"

There's a man who's been out sailing
In a decade full of dreams
And he takes her to a schooner
And he treats her like a queen
Bearing beads from California
With their amber stones and green
He has called her from the harbor
He has kissed her with his freedom
He has heard her off to starboard
In the breaking and the breathing
Of the water weeds
While she was busy being free
There's a man who's climbed a mountain
And he's calling out her name
And he hopes her heart can hear three thousand miles
He calls again
He can think her there beside him
He can miss her just the same
He has missed her in the forest
While he showed her all the flowers
And the branches sang the chorus
As he climbed the scaley towers
Of a forest tree
While she was somewhere being free
There's a man who's sent a letter
And he's waiting for reply
He has asked her of her travels
Since the day they said goodbye
He writes "Wish you were beside me
We can make it if we try"
He has seen her at the office
With her name on all his papers
Through the sharing of the profits
He will find it hard to shake her
From his memory
And she's so busy being free
There's a lady in the city
And she thinks she loves them all
There's the one who's thinking of her
There's the one who sometimes calls
There's the one who writes her letters
With his facts and figures scrawl
She has brought them to her senses
They have laughed inside her laughter
Now she rallies her defenses
For she fears that one will ask her
For eternity
And she's so busy being free
There's a man who sends her medals
He is bleeding from the war
There's a jouster and a jester and a man who owns a store
There's a drummer and a dreamer
And you know there may be more
She will love them when she sees them
They will lose her if they follow
And she only means to please them
And her heart is full and hollow
Like a cactus tree
While she's so busy being free

Back in 1957
We had to dance a foot apart
And they hawk-eyed us from the sidelines
Holding their rulers without a heart
And so with just a touch of our fingers
I could make our circuitry explode
All we ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
Come in
Come in from the cold
(we were so young)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold
We really thought we had a purpose
We were so anxious to achieve
We had hope
The world held promise
For a slave to liberty
Freely I slaved away for something better
And I was bought and sold
And all I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
Come in
Come in from the cold
(we were so sure)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold
I feel your leg under the table
Leaning into mine
I feel renewed
I feel disabled
By these bonfires in my spine
I don't know who the arsonist was
Which incendiary soul
But all I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
Come in
Come in from the cold
(you were so warm)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold
I am not some stone commission
Like a statue in a park
I am flesh and blood and vision
I am howling in the dark
Long blue shadows of the jackals
Are falling on a pay phone by the road
Oh all they ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
Come in
Come in from the cold
(I was so low)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold
Is this just vulgar electricity
Is this the edifying fire
(it was so pure)
Does your smile's covert complicity
Debase as it admires
(just a flu with a temperature)
Are you just checking out your mojo
(oh oh)
Or am I just fighting off growing old
(just a high fever)
All I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
Come in
Come in from the cold
(it was so pure)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold
I know we never will be perfect
Never entirely clear
(when the moon shines)
We get hurt and we just panic
And we strike out
Out of fear
(you were only being kind)
I fear the sentence of this solitude
200 years on hold
(for my loving crime)
Oh and all we ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
Come in
Come in from the cold
(when the moon shines)
Oh come in
Come in from the cold
When I thought life had some purpose
Then I thought I had some choice
(I was running blind)
And I made some value judgments
In a self-important voice
(I was outa line)
But then absurdity came over me
And I longed to lose control
(into no mind)
Oh all I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
Come in
Come in from the cold
(you were so kind)
Please come in
(so kind)
Come in from the cold
Come in come in
Come in from the cold, etc.
<@#Joni_Mitchell_In_France_They_Kiss_On_Main_Street.txt#@>
Downtown
My darling dime store thief
In the War of Independence
Rock 'n Roll rang sweet as victory
Under neon signs
A girl was in bloom
And a woman was fading
In a suburban room
I said, "Take me to the dance"
"Do you want to dance?"
"I love to dance"
And I told him, "They don't take chances
They seem so removed from romance"
"They've been broken in churches and schools
And molded to middle class circumstance"
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
Downtown
The dance halls and cafes
Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart
Just doing the latest dance craze
Gail and Louise
In those push-up brassieres
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings
Drinking up the band's beers
Young love was kissing under bridges
Kissing in cars, kissing in cafes
And we were walking down Main Street
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
"In France they kiss on Main Street"
"Amour, mama, not cheap display"
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
Downtown
In the pinball arcade
With his head full of pool hall pitches
And songs from the hit parade
He'd be singing "Bye, Bye, Love"
While he's racking up his free play
Let those rock 'n roll choir boys
Come and carry us away
Sometimes Chickie had the car
Or Ron had a car
Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hot-wire head
We'd all go looking for a party
Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead
And I'd be kissing in the back seat
Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said
And we'd be rolling, rolling, rock n' rolling
<@#Joni_Mitchell_Jericho.txt#@>
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
That's a promise that I made to love
When it was new
"Just like Jericho" I said
"Let these walls come tumbling down"
I said it like I finally found the way
To keep the good feelings alive
I said it like it was something to strive for
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
And approve your self expression
I need that, too
I need your confidence, baby
And the gift of your extra time
In turn I'll give you mine
Sweet darling, it's a rich exchange
It seems to me
It's a warm arrangement!
Anyone will tell you
Just how hard it is to make and keep a friend
Maybe they'll short sell you
Or maybe it's you
Judas, in the end
When you just can no longer pretend
That you're getting what you need
Or you're giving out anything for them to grow and feed on
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
It gets easier and easier to do
Just like Jericho
Let these walls come tumbling down now
Let them fall right on the ground
Let all these dogs go running free
The wild and the gentle dogs
Kenneled in me
<@#Joni_Mitchell_Ladies_Man.txt#@>
Well, I've heard of heart breakers
But you take the cake
Ladies' man
You could charm the diamonds
Off a rattlesnake
Ladies' man
Ladies bring it on over
When you give 'em the glance
They don't stand a chance
First, you unfold them
Then you pigeon-hole 'em
Ladies' man
Well it sure takes a lot of
Good natured self-control
Ladies' man
When I'm so hot for you and
You're so cold, so cold
Ladies' man
Why do you keep on trying to
Make a man of me
Couldn't you just love me
Like you love cocaine
Cocaine head games
Cross my heart I swear
I'm not trying to trick you
No tricks
Ladies' man
It's just a straight ahead feeling
I have for you
Nothing slick
Ladies' man
I guess you learn to refuse
What you think you can't handle
You're acting like a vandal
Wrecking the dream
At the first bad scene
Ladies' man
Ladies' man
Ladies' man
Ladies' man

"Kiss my ass!" I said
and I threw my drink
Tequila trickling
Down his business suit
Must be the Irish blood
Fight before you think
Turn it now
You can't cowtow
You can't undo it
It's his town
And that went down
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
He said "Sic her, Rover"
That went over
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon
An angry man is just an angry man
But an angry woman
Bitch!
I had to ask him for a helping hand
It came with the heart
Of a Bonaparte
Of a frozen fish
It's his town
And that went down
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
He said "Sic her, Rover"
That went over
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon

Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon

<@#Joni_Mitchell_Lesson_In_Survival.txt#@>
Lesson in Survival
Spinning out on turns
That gets you tough
Guru books-the Bible
Only a reminder
That you're just not good enough
You need to believe in something
Once I could in our love
Black road
Double yellow line
Friends and kin
Campers in the kitchen
That's fine sometimes
But I know my needs
My sweet tumbleweed
I need more quiet times
By a river flowing
You and me
Deep kisses
And the sun going down
Maybe it's paranoia
Maybe it's sensitivity
Your friends protect you
Scrutinize me
I get so damn timid
Not at all the spirit
That's inside of me
Oh baby I can't seem to make it
With you socially
There's this reef around me
I'm looking way out at the ocean
Love to see that green water in motion
I'm going to get a boat
And we can row it
If you ever get the notion
To be needed by me
Fresh salmon frying
And the tide rolling in
I went to see a friend tonight
'Was very late when I walked in
My talking as it rambled
Revealed suspicious reasoning
The visit seemed to darken him
I came in as bright
As a neon light
And I burned out
Right there before him
I told him these things
I'm telling you now
Watched them buckle up
In his brow
When you dig down deep
You lose good sleep
And it makes you
Heavy company
I will always love you
Hands alike
Magnet and iron
The souls
<@#Joni_Mitchell_Love.txt#@>
Although I speak in tongues
Of men and angels
I'm just sounding brass
And tinkling cymbals without love-
Love suffers long-
Love is kind!-
Enduring all things-
Love has no evil in mind
If I had the gift of prophecy-
And all the knowledge-
And the faith to move the mountains
Even if I understood all of the mysteries-
If I didn't have love
I'd be nothing
Love-never looks for love-
Love's not puffed up-
Or envious-
Or touchy-
Because it rejoices in the truth
Not in iniquity
Love sees like a child sees
As a child I spoke as a child-
I thought and I understood as a child-
But when I became a woman-
I put away childish things
And began to see through a glass darkly
Where, as a child, I saw it face to face
Now, I only know it in part
Fractions in me
Of faith and hope and love
And of these great three
Love's the greatest beauty
Love
Love
Love
<@#Joni_Mitchell_Lucky_Girl.txt#@>
I'm a lucky girl
I found my friend
I've been all around the world
Mission Impossible
Chasing the rainbow's end
Wise guys
Shy guys
And sly lover boys
With big bad bedroom eyes
I never loved a man I trusted
As far as I could pitch my shoe
'Til I loved you
You're my lucky star
You're my magician
You make the night prowling disappear
Vanished from the star-war-bars
Empty repetition
I get my heart full here
Playboys
Stray boys
And "Say, hey, hey" boys'll treat you like a toy
I never loved a man I trusted
As far as I could pitch my shoe
'Til I loved you
Cheaters
Woman beaters
And Huck Finn shucksters hopping parking meters
I never loved a man
I trusted
As far as I could pitch my shoe
'til I loved you
I'm a lucky girl
I found my friend
I been all around the world
Mission Impossible
Chasing the rainbow's end

And sly lover boys
With big bad bedroom eyes
I never loved a man I trusted
As far as I could throw my shoe

<@#Joni_Mitchell_Magdalene_Laundries.txt#@>
I was an unmarried girl
I'd just turned twenty-seven
When they sent me to the sisters
For the way men looked at me
Branded as a Jezebel
I knew I was not bound for Heaven
I'd be cast in shame
Into the Magdalene laundries
Most girls come here pregnant
Some by their own fathers
Bridget got that belly
By her parish priest
We're trying to get things white as snow
All of us woe-begotten-daughters
In the streaming stains
Of the Magdalene laundries
Prostitutes and destitutes
And temptresses like me
Fallen women
Sentenced into dreamless drudgery
Why do they call this heartless place
Our Lady of Charity?
Oh charity!
These bloodless brides of Jesus
If they had just once glimpsed their groom
Then they'd know, and they'd drop the stones
Concealed behind their rosaries
They wilt the grass they walk upon
They leech the light out of a room
They'd like to drive us down the drain
At the Magdalene laundries
Peg O'Connell died today
She was a cheeky girl
A flirt
They just stuffed her in a hole!
Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring!
One day I'm going to die here too
And they'll plant me in the dirt
Like some lame bulb
That never blooms come any spring
Not any spring
No, not any spring
Not any spring
<@#Joni_Mitchell_Man_From_Mars.txt#@>
Since I lost you
I can't get through the day
Without at least one big boo-hoo
The pain won't go away
What am I gonna do?
Man from Mars
This time you went too far
I fall apart
Everytime I think of you
Swallowed by the dark
There is no center to my life now
No grace in my heart
Man from Mars
This time you went too far
I call and call
The silence is so full of sounds
You're in them all
I hear you in the water
And the wiring in the walls
Man from Mars
This time you went too far
<@#Joni_Mitchell_Man_To_Man.txt#@>
No demands
Just pleasurable sensations
Hand in hand
No far reaching plans
No, no-hand in hand
Well I keep on trying to understand
Daylight bright
How come I keep moving
From man to man to man?
Giving my sweet love,
Tasting sweet love,
Woman to man
Sometimes it's easy
You drift with the empty gladness
Like it all belongs
Sometimes it's low down sadness
Like it's all gone so wrong
When I saw you standing there
I said to myself
M-m-m here's a place
I could break down and care
I'll give him my sweet love,
Taste his sweet love,
Real sweet love,
Woman to man
I don't like to lie
But I sure can be phony when I get scared
I put my nose up in the air
Stoney, stoney when I get scared
When I saw you standing there
I was scared
I thought
Oh, I hope he can care,
I sure hope I can care,
I hope we can really care,
And share woman to man
Cause I've been moving
Man to man to man to man to man
Oh what am I looking for?
Man to man to man to man
A lot of good guys gone through my door
Man to man to man to man
To man to man to man
Man to man to man to man
Woman to man
<@#Joni_Mitchell_Nathan_La_Franeer.txt#@>
I hired a coach to take me from confusion to the plane
And though we shared a common space I know I'll never meet again
The driver with his eyebrows furrowed in the rear-view mirror
I read his name and it was plainly written Nathan La Franeer
I asked him would he hurry
But we crawled the canyons slowly
Through the buyers and the sellers
Through the burglar bells and the wishing wells
With gangs and girly shows
The ghostly garden grows
The cars and buses bustled through the bedlam of the day
I looked through window-glass at streets and Nathan grumbled at the grey
I saw an aging cripple selling Superman balloons
The city grated through chrome-plate
The clock struck slowly half-past-noon
Through the tunnel tiled and turning
Into daylight once again I am escaping
Once again goodbye
To symphonies and dirty trees
With parks and plastic clothes
The ghostly garden grows
He asked me for a dollar more
He cursed me to my face
He hated everyone who paid to ride
And share his common space
I picked my bags up from the curb
And stumbled to the door
Another man reached out his hand
Another hand reached out for more
And I filled it full of silver
And I left the fingers counting
And the sky goes on forever
Without meter maids and peace parades
You feed it all your woes
The ghostly garden grows
<@#Joni_Mitchell_Stay_In_Touch.txt#@>
This is really something
People will be envious
But our roles aren't clear
So we mustn't rush
Still, we're burning brightly
Clinging like fire to fuel
I'm grinning like a fool
Stay in touch
We should stay in touch
Oh! Stay in touch
In touch
Part of this is permanent
Part of this is passing
So we must be loyal and wary
Not to give away too much
Til we build a firm foundation
And empty out old habits
Old habits
Stay in touch
We should stay in touch
Oh! Stay in touch
In touch
During times like these
The wise or influential
They can bear the imperfections
They can keep the money
No doubt about it
No doubt that's essential
No doubt that's always been a tricky one for me
So, we should just surrender
Let fate and duty shape us
Let light hearts remake us
Let the worries hush
In the middle of this continent
In the middle of our time on Earth
We perceive one another
Stay in touch
We should stay in touch
Oh! Stay in touch
In touch
<@#Joni_Mitchell_The_Boho_Dance.txt#@>
Down in the cellar in the Boho zone
I went looking for some sweet inspiration, oh well
Just another hard-time band
With Negro affectations
I was a hopeful in rooms like this
When I was working cheap
It's an old romance-the Boho dance
It hasn't gone to sleep
But even on the scuffle
The cleaner's press was in my jeans
And any eye for detail
Caught a little lace along the seams
And you were in the parking lot
Subterranean by your own design
The virtue of your style inscribed
On your contempt for mine
Jesus was a beggar, he was rich in grace
And Solomon kept his head in all his glory
It's just that some steps outside the Boho dance
Have a fascination for me
A camera pans the cocktail hour
Behind a blind of potted palms
And finds a lady in a Paris dress
With runs in her nylons
You read those books where luxury
Comes as a guest to take a slave
Books where artists in noble poverty
Go like virgins to the grave
Don't you get sensitive on me
'Cause I know you're just too proud
You couldn't step outside the Boho dance now
Even if good fortune allowed
Like a priest with a pornographic watch
Looking and longing on the sly
Sure it's stricken from your uniform
But you can't get it out of your eyes
Nothing is capsulized in me
On either side of town
The streets were never really mine
Not mine these glamour gowns
<@#Joni_Mitchell_The_Fiddle_And_The_Drum.txt#@>
And so once again
My dear Johnny my dear friend
And so once again you are fightin' us all
And when I ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum
You say I have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But I can remember
All the good things you are
And so I ask you please
Can I help you find the peace and the star
Oh, my friend
What time is this
To trade the handshake for the fist
And so once again
Oh, America my friend
And so once again
You are fighting us all
And when we ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry and we fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum
You say we have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But we can remember
All the good things you are
And so we ask you please
Can we help you find the peace and the star
Oh my friend
We have all come
To fear the beating of your drum
<@#Joni_Mitchell_The_Last_Time_I_Saw_Richard.txt#@>
The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68,
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh, he said you think you're immune, go look at your eyes
They're full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies
Only pretty lies, just pretty lies
He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer, and he pushed
Three buttons and the thing began to whirr
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
And she said "Drink up now it's gettin' on time to close."
"Richard, you haven't really changed," I said
It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs
You punched are dreaming
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet
Richard got married to a figure skater
And he bought her a dishwasher and a Coffee percolator
And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
And all the house lights left up bright
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
I don't want Nobody comin' over to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamers pass this way some day
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes
Dark cafes
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings
And fly away
Only a phase, these dark cafe days
<@#Joni_Mitchell_The_Windfall.txt#@>
Because elvis gave 'em cars
You think I'm cheap
And you're hard done by
Look-you live here like a star
Rent free suite
Big blue pool that you sun by
Trips to tropic shores
Clothes from fancy stores
You want too much
You want too badly
You want everything for nothing
Going to the church
You chant
For my downfall
Chanting for my house
My friends
You want it all
The pillows on my bed
The visions in my head
You want too much
You want too badly
You want everything for nothing
In the land of litigation
The courts are like game shows
Take what's behind the curtain
The jury cries
I'm not going to be the jackpot
At the end of your perjured rainbow
Not if local justice has even one good eye
Oh it's not like I was blind
I saw
But I took no action
As you began to climb
Green clawed
Dissatisfaction
It wasn't hard to guess
That the end would be a mess
You want too much
You want too badly
You want everything for nothing
In the land of mass frustration
The judges are sleeping
Counting wooly little lawyers
And grinding their teeth
Outside my sleepless window
The hollywood sirens are shrieking
While down some searchlit alley runs
Some lost belief
Oh I'm tangled in your lies
Your scam
Your spider web
Spit spun between the trees
Doors slam
You want my head
You'd eat your young alive
For a jaguar in the drive
You lie too much
You lie too badly
You want everything for nothing

Of the darkness in men's minds
What can you say
That wasn't marked by history
Or the T.V. news today
He gets away with murder
The blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot
Of the heavy heavy snow
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
His grandpa loved an empire
His sister loved a thief
And lindsey loved the ways of darkness
Beyond belief
Girls in chilly blouses
The blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot
Of the heavy heavy snow
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
The cops don't seem to care
For derelicts or ladies of the night
They're weeds for yanking out of sight
If you're smart or rich or lucky
Maybe you'll beat the laws of man
But the inner laws of spirit
And the outer laws of nature
No man can
No, no man can
There lives a wolf in Lindsey
That raids and runs
Through the hills of Hollywood
And the downtown slums
He gets away with murder
The blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot
Of the heavy heavy snow
It comes and goes

My head's in a jam can't take you off my mind
From the time we met I've been beset by thoughts of you
And the more that I ignore this feeling
The more I find my self believin'
That I just have to see you again
Refrain
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go but I know
That I am much too shy to let you know
Afraid that I might say the wrong
Words and displease you
Afraid for love to fade
Before it can come true
Like a child again
I'm out and lost for words
How does one define a crush combined with longing
Longing to posses you oh so dearly
I'm obsessed by you completely
I'll go mad if I can't have you
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go but I know
That I am much too shy to let you know
Afraid that I might say the wrong
Words and displease you
Afraid for love to fade
Before it can come true
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
Let me say the things and say the words to let you know
I would rather say the awkward words than lose you
Or for love to fade
Before it can come true

Cheri:
Sing me a song again, Daddy
Sing me a happy verse.
Teach me those clever lines you sang
As you carried me on your shoulders.
Sing me that hymn that you so loudly
Sang in church with mom.
Sing it again to me and fill me
With all your words of wisdom.
Comforting words of love when I
Would get home from school in tears.
Somehow your songs have stayed within me
Down through all the years.
Once when my younger heart was broken
Your shoulder was there to cry on.
Sing me those songs I know will linger
Long after you have gone.
I am standing at the threshold
Of a chapter in my life
I am asking for your blessing
As I'm about to be the wife
Of a man I know who loves me
And I'm proud to be his bride.
Dad the time has come for me to leave your side.
So, sing me a song again, Daddy.
Sing me a lullaby.
Wrap me inside your arms, Daddy,
'Though this is not goodbye.
Your songs will live forever
In my heart. When times get rough
The ones I'll most remember
Are your songs of love.
Jose:
Your songs will live forever
In my heart. When times get rough
Cheri:
The ones I'll most remember
Are your songs of love.
<@#Joseph_And_The_Amazing_Technicolor_Dreamcoat_Pharoh_Story.txt#@>
Pharaoh he was a powerful man.
With the ancient world in the palm of his hands.
To all intents and purposes he,
Was Egypt with a capital E.
Whatever he did, he was showered with praise.
If he cracked a joke, than you chortled for days.
No one had rights or a vote but the king,
Infact you might say he was fairly right wing.
When pharoh's around, than you got down, on the ground.
If you ever find yourself near ramases, get down on your knees.
A pharoh story, a pharoh story.
A pharoh story, a pharoh story.
Down at the other end of the scale,
Joseph is still spending time in jail.
For even though he's in with the guards,
A lifetime in prison seems quite in the cards.
If my analysis of the position is right,
At the end of the tunnel is a glimmer of light.
Because of all sudden there's been visions and things.
Disturbing the peace of both peasants and kings.
Strange as it seems, there's been a run of crazy dreams.
And a man who can interpret could go far,
Could become a star.
Could be famous, could be a big success,
Could be famous, could be a big success.

<@#Josh_Groban_Galileo.txt#@>
Galileo fell in love
As a Galilean boy
And he wondered what in Heaven,
Who invented such a joy?
But the question got the better of his scientific mind
And to his blind and dying days he looked up high and often sighed
And sometimes cried:
Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine,
Someone like you and made them mine?
Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then
But just remember the alternatives
For I remember when I was lonely,
And unhappy and my lips were cold as ice
But you kissed me and good Heavens,
Now I'm here in paradise
So if I'm ever not kissing you or looking in your eyes
I won't be blind and I won't cry
I'll look up high and gladly sigh
And thank the guy
Who puts the rainbow in the sky
Who lights the stars at night
Who dreamt up someone so divine,
Someone like you and made them mine
Someone like you and made them mine
<@#Josh_Groban_My_Heart_Was_Home_Again.txt#@>
So it goes, history shows
Deserts must expand
And camels sail like wooden ships
Like women on the strand
There's sand on Second Avenue
And the wind blows like a train
Taxis light up like a string of pearls
Around the block again
And I remembered everything
And every windowpane
Every word came back to me
The way it used to be
Then I saw your face across the street
And my heart was home again
There's a bus that leaves at eight fifteen
And another one at ten
Should I climb aboard, risk everything
And ride it to the end
Watch the hills like roller coasters
Up against the sky
And wish that you were here by me
So close that I could die
You said love wrecks everything
And none of us survive
So I got over you last night
And I am still alive
Then I saw your face across the street
And my heart was home again
And I remembered everything
And every windowpane
Every word came back to me
The way it used to be
Then I saw your face across the street
And my heart was home again.
<@#Josh_Groban_Now_Or_Never.txt#@>
I watch the morning dawn upon your skin
A splinter in the light
It caught and frayed the very heart of us
It's been hiding there inside for all this time
How a sure thing winds up just like this
Clockwork silence only knows
[Chorus]
And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On this endless night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see it's now or never
It's now or never
Sweeping eggshells still at 3 am
We're trying far too hard
The tattered thought balloons above our heads
Sinking in the weight of all we need to say
Why's and what if's have since long played out
Left us short on happy endings
[Chorus]
It's now or never
It's now or never
You know that there's so much more
And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On our final night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see it's now or never
It's now or never
<@#Josh_Groban_Smile.txt#@>
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile
And maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
<@#Journey_After_All_These_Years.txt#@>
A faded wedding photograph
You and me in our first dance
Our eyes are closed
We're lost in one sweet embrace
Since those days the world has changed
But our love remains the same
God knows we've had our share of saving grace
And I'm proud of all the blessings
You have given me
The mountains we have climbed to get this far
You've learned to take the laughter with the tears
After all these years
You make it feel brand new
After the fires that we walked through
Against the odds we never lost our faith
In our house we've made our home
Where our children all have grown
Precious moments time cannot erase
Make a living up and down the gypsy highways
Seasons that we've had to share apart
Somehow in my heart I always keep you near me
After all these years
After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years
After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You've sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years
<@#Journey_Dont_Stop_Believin.txt#@>
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on
[Chorus]
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on
[Chorus]
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
<@#Journey_Easy_To_Fall.txt#@>
In the morning, sunlight shining
The face in the mirror knows the crime
Voices cry from the darkness
A broken promise one more time
You say you believe in love
And still you run
You only believe in God when you come undone
So here you are
You brought everything on yourself
So easy to fall
When you're all alone by yourself
He said he's tried everything he could
A fool's illusion one more lie
There'll be demons waitin' in the shadows of a concrete world
Tears are runnin' tonight
You say you believe in love
And still you run
You only believe in God when you come undone
So here you are
You brought everything on yourself
So easy to fall, (easy to fall)
When you're all alone by yourself
Words unspoken
The words unspoken
The words unspoken
The words unspoken
<@#Journey_Forever_In_Blue.txt#@>
When she walked into the room
I felt her move me
I saw her eyes
They went right through me
Just one look I was forever in blue
In a spell of her embrace
Just for a moment
I was the one, caught in the moment
I knew, yes, right then I knew
Two hearts, reach for each other
Once chance, she's like no other
I'm lost, lost in the dream of you
'Cause it's true oh
I'm forever, forever in blue
In a fantasy of my anticipation
I knew there was no consolation
I knew, oh I knew
And on the night she told me that
She had another
I was broken by the truth
I discovered, I knew oh I knew
Two hearts, reach for each other
Once chance, she's like no other
I'm lost, lost in the dream of you
'Cause it's true oh
I'm forever, forever in blue... in blue
Believe me girl, I tried not to call
But here I am once again, yes once again
Beside you, with my hands on the wall
Two hearts, reach for each other
Once chance, she's like no other
I'm lost, lost in the dream of you
Those two hearts, reach for each other
Once chance, she's like no other
I'm lost, lost in the dream of you
'Cause it's true oh
I'm forever, forever in blue

If he could hold her, so close in his arms...again
If she could show him
The letter her heart forgot to send...why
They're livin' dreams on their own
Ooh they'll never stop running
The girl can't help it, she needs more
He hasn't found what he's lookin' for
They're still standing in the rain
He can't help it, and she's just that way
And when he calls her
She tells him that she still cares
Under the moonlight,
He wonders why she can't be there...why
Why do they go on alone
When they're missin' each other
The girl can't help it, she needs more
He hasn't found what he's lookin' for
They're still standing in the rain
He can't help it, and she's just that way
The girl can't help it, she needs more
He hasn't found what he's lookin' for
They're still standing in the rain
He can't help it, and she's just that way
There's a fire
Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you
Don't you know she still cries
Ooh do you know she still cries for you
Fire
Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you
For you she cries
Ooh do you know she still cries for you
Fire
Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you
Ooh nothing stands between love and you

The situation's got me rattled
I twist and turn late at night
This whole world's up in shambles
Who's the one to make it right
Missing persons lost in action (action)
Forgotten victims of the night (victims of the night)
They're making crime the main attraction (attraction)
They're making everyone uptight
They're all looking for a fight
In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense
In this crossfire I see one way
In self defense
You'll take your chances, Mr. Policeman (policeman)
You're like a cat with thirteen lives (cat with thirteen lives)
Your law and order is our lifeline (lifeline)
Through the danger, you'll survive
I do what I need to stay alive
In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense

In self defense

In self (self) defense
In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense
In this crossfire I see one way

<@#Journey_It_Could_Have_Been_You.txt#@>
We were so close yet so far away
I'd reach out, you'd be gone
Moments that still talk my breath away
There's so much more to life than loving you
You don't need me, no...
I...can't wait all my life, on a street of broken dreams
It could have been you my love (where are you now)
Oh I...still wonder if you remember the night
It could have been you
Time washes over, memories
I can't look back no more
Change has forsaken, our promises
There's someone else for you to hold again
So please stop your crying
I...can't wait all my life, on a street of broken dreams
It could have been you my love (where are you now)
Oh I...still wonder if you remember the night
It could have been you
Remember, remember, girl I remember
I...can't wait all my life, on a street of broken dreams
It could have been you my love (where are you now)
Oh I...still wonder if you remember the night

Should have been you my love (where are you now)
It could have been you my love, (where are you now)

<@#Journey_Kiss_Me_Softly.txt#@>
There's a state of grace that happens every day
It's a feeling I thought lost or locked away
Another question to an answer that I know
Oh, are you coming home, coming home for sure
I'd walk a thousand miles, just to hear you calling out my name
Kiss me softly
Kiss me slowly
I get lost in you
Like only lovers do
Hold me closer
Love me tender
I get swept away
Like only lovers do
You've awakened something deep inside my soul
And every moment, every breath I feel it more
Your hidden treasure that you kept down deep inside
We make love freely as we watch the new sunrise
I'd live a thousand lives if every one I lived could be with you
Kiss me softly
Kiss me slowly
I get lost in you
Like only lovers do
Hold me closer
Love me tender
I get swept away
Like only lovers do
I'd live a thousand lives
If every one I lived could be with you
Kiss me softly
Kiss me slowly
I get lost in you
Like only lovers do
Hold me closer
Love me tender
I get swept away
Like only lovers do
Kiss me softly
Kiss me slowly
I get lost in you
Like only lovers do
Hold me closer
Love me tender
I get swept away
Like only lovers do
Only lovers, only lovers, only lovers do
Only lovers, only lovers, only lovers do
Only lovers, only lovers, only lovers do
Only lovers, only lovers, only lovers do
<@#Journey_Never_Too_Late.txt#@>
Her head is filled with doubt
Search her heart for faith that can't be found
He's running desperate now
All that he's become is just not working anymore
He's needing something more
Someone that he used to be
Part of her is a mystery
Spinning around in an empty place
Lie to themselves till they're blind with rage
It's never too late to feel the world come crashing down
It's never too late
It's darkest just before the dawn
They can rise above it all to see there's life beyond the pain
Never thought they'd fall this far
You know it's never too late to change
So much to understand
So much to feel and finally now you can
They'll see a different day all because they faced themselves
And now I hear them say they're gonna be okay
She found who she used to be and now there is no mystery
Open his eyes in a brand new place
A different soul in a different place
It's never too late to feel the world come crashing down
It's never too late
It's darkest just before the dawn
They can rise above it all to see there's life beyond the pain
Never thought they'd fall this far
Love is waiting, love is patient, love is kind
Love is falling into places in their minds
They love enough to know the difference
The dream they had today, don't throw it all away
It's never too late to feel the world come crashing down
It's never too late
It's darkest just before the dawn
They can rise above it all to see there's life beyond the pain
Never thought they'd fall this far
You know it's never too late to change
To rise above it all, never question, never fall
There is no mystery they are who they used to be
They're in a brand new place,
A different soul and a different face
The dreams they had today, don't throw it all away
<@#Journey_Never_Walk_Away.txt#@>
(Verse 1)
So young in love,
They couldn't wait.
Said their vows,
Had to run away.
Suddenly,
They felt their lives
Had changed.
They believed...
Their hearts were strong.
Just to find
They couldn't get along.
The dream they shared...
Had slowly come undone.
(Chorus)
Will she go
Or will she stay?
Fool herself for
One more day.
Don't give up.
Never walk away.
Love's the promise...
That he made.
In his heart...
It still remains.
Don't give up.
Never walk away.
(Verse 2)
They had to meet...
Somewhere... halfway...
Heart to heart and
Face to face.
Compromise...
A price they had to pay.
Cared enough...
To stand her ground.
Screamed and shouted
Till the walls came down.
Worth the fight
To see a brand new day.
(Chorus)
Will she go
Or will she stay?
Fool herself for one more day.
Don't give up.
Never walk away.
Love's the promise that he made.
In his heart...
It still remains.
Don't give up.
Never walk away.
(Chorus)
Will she go
Or will she stay?
Fool herself for one more day.
Don't give up.
Never walk away.
Love's the promise that he made.
In his heart...
It still remains.
Don't give up.
Never walk away.
Never walk away.
Ooohhh...
Never walk away!
<@#Journey_Next.txt#@>
Sitting in the corner of a room, thinkin' of you.
Wonderin' what you're doing now we're apart.
No use cryin', tears can't reach you now.
Memories, fulfilling dreams.
You used to be, so good to me,
I can't live without you.
I'd like to be, in your fantasy baby,
Part of you is me, wo-
Walking across the clouds, hope I see you there.
Be it day or nighttime, I don't really care.
Hope you see me too, before I meet my end.
Someone stole my life away, I can't pretend.

<@#Journey_Signs_Of_Life.txt#@>
It's been forty days since I heard from you this waiting game
You put me through
I feel the silence
Killing me
Day to day
Losin' hope, I lose myself, it's got me thinkin'
There's someone else
We need to talk
You give me metaphors,
By the way
What are you tryin' to say
Tryin' to not think about you
I'm not a dead man walkin' without you
You know I'll be alright
I'm showing signs of life
You left me barely breathin'
I've had time for the healing
Now I've opened my eyes
I'm showing signs of life
Lyin' next to me
Were you ever mine
Just wasted love and wasted time
Did you ever find what you were lookin' for,
The nights you took my breath away
I'll miss your love
Miss your touch, but this holdin' on it hurts too much
Now it's my time to walk away
I'll be okay
Tryin' to not think about you
I'm not a dead man walkin' without you
You know I'll be alright
I'm showing signs of life
You left me barely breathin'
I've had time for the healing
Now I've opened my eyes
I'm showing signs of life
Well, tell your friends that you stole my heart
But you'll never get a piece of my soul
You took my love, tore my life apart
There's more to me than you'll ever know
Tryin' to not think about you
I'm not a dead man walkin' without you
You know I'll be alright
Showing signs of life
Tryin' to not think about you
I'm not a dead man walkin' without you
You know I'll be alright
I'm showing signs of life
You left me barely breathin'
I've had time for the healing
Now I've opened my eyes
I'm showing signs of life
Seeing signs of life

You will be there.
Just like the night to the day without a care.
The dark goes before the dawn.

Ooh, there'll be a better day.
And someday soon,
Yes, it's not too far away.

Ooh yeah, with open skies,
And someday soon.

You will be there.
All of the feelin's you've found, without a care.
So my friends, you take a look.
Don't you look too far.

Day has come
You're prepared
Electricity in the air
Feel the calm
Feel the rush
You want to leave victorious
Will you look in their eyes
They want you gone, they want the prize
When day is done, risk it all
One will stand, and one will fall
When you learn to lose
You'll know what it takes to win
Wanna go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You're the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You're on your feet again
'Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win
Seal the deal
Get it done
Earn the right to say you've won
Work it out
Sacrifice
Someone's gonna have to pay the price
Face to face
Stand your ground
Stay in the zone, now don't back down
More than pride
You depend
Fighting hard 'til the very end
When you learn to lose
You'll know what it takes to win
Wanna go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You're the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You're on your feet again
'Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win
When you share the dream
There's no "I" in team
Let the spirit take you higher
It's a state of mind
No one can define
There's no limit to desire
When you learn to lose
You'll know what it takes to win
Wanna go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You're the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You're on your feet again
'Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win
Wanna go the distance
With a hunger that never ends
When you want to prove
You're the best that's ever been
They can knock you down
You're on your feet again
'Cause you know what it takes
What it takes to win
What it takes to win
What it takes to win

Desperately falling
Feeling our love set us free
We were better together
Believed it was all meant to be
Stay as one forever
The band of gold would always prevail
Happy in the moment
Life betrays one, a fairytale
Memories time cannot erase
I still see your face
Where did I lose your love
You'll always be the question in my heart
How could I make you stay
I still regret the night you walked away
What we shared was not enough
Where did I lose your love
Never saw it coming
You left so suddenly
What was here that scared you
You want what I couldn't see
Emotions time cannot erase
I still see your face
Where did I lose your love
You'll always be the question in my heart
How could I make you stay
I still regret the night you walked away
What we shared was not enough
Where did I lose your love
So far from each other
So close to happiness
I'll be there to remind you
Love forgives but never forgets
Emotions time cannot erase
I still see your face
Where did I lose your love
You'll always be the question in my heart
How could I make you stay
I still regret the night you walked away
How could I make you stay
Where did I lose your love
Still regret the night you walked away

<@#Journey_World_Gone_Wild.txt#@>
See the signs, madness all around us
Somewhere I hear sirens wailing through the night
Read The Times, starts to make me wonder is there
More to life than black and white
I'd never thought I'd question (thought I'd question)
The doubt I'm seeing everywhere (doubt I'm seeing everywhere)
Standing here beside me you're the answer (you're the answer)
When I lose my faith you're there
[Chorus]
Face the fire, in a world gone wild
You're the fortress in my life
Seeing the world through a child's eyes
They can't fool me now
I don't believe it's all a world gone wild
It's a lie, the more you get the more you want, it leads to nowhere
Should have learned by now
What is life without someone to share
The mountains that you climb to reach the sky
With everyone uncertain (everyone uncertain)
The future's never really clear (never really clear)
Standing here beside me you're the reason
I found my faith again with you here
[Chorus]
They can't bring me down
I don't believe it's all a world gone wild
Now you can count on me to keep you safe
I'll be your shelter from the storm
Come lay down with me, and let our spirits melt us into one
[Chorus]
<@#Joy_Division_Colony.txt#@>
A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia,
The sound from broken homes,
We used to always meet here.
As he lays asleep, she takes him in her arms,
Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm.
A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye,
Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide,
A cruel wind that blows down to our lunacy
And leaves him standing cold here in this colony.
I can't see why all these confrontations,
I can't see why all these dislocations,
No family life, this makes me feel uneasy,
Stood alone here in this colony.
In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony.
Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.
God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.
God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.
God in his wisdom took you by the hand,
God in his wisdom made you understand.
In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony.

When you're looking at life,
In a strange new room,
Maybe drowning soon,
Is this the start of it all?
Turn on your TV,
Turn down your pulse,
Turn away from it all,
It's all getting too much.
When you're looking at life,
Deciphering scars,
Just who fooled who,
Sit still in their cars,
The lights look bright,
When you reach outside,
Time for one last ride,
Before the end of it all.

... 3, 4 warsaw!
Don't talk to me girl, you know it's not nice.
Don't laugh at murder, I won't pay the price.
The facts are too high-powered, so sickened thrill,
I'd give that mess up 'cos it makes you so ill.
Blame bad things on me, whatever you do.
When I come home I will be different from you.
You're such a chictalk, you're really trussed up.
Don't wanna talk to you, just left me your mum.
Don't be a puppet, always rush you around.
One just for you photo, try and tire me down.
I won't tell him I talk like this all night,
He must be worried 'cos you're sounding so trite.
Respect is only normal, the way to our lives.
Ever tried to sleep around with a bed for a wife.
We'll never change you, if you start acting that way.
If do keep mouths all open, I'll never get a say.
You know what's special, it's as dark as I say.
Can you see me, just ourselves,
No comment, copycat!
<@#Joy_Division_Isolation.txt#@>
In fear every day, every evening,
He calls her aloud from above,
Carefully watched for a reason,
Painstaking devotion and love,
Surrendered to self preservation,
From others who care for themselves.
A blindness that touches perfection,
But hurts just like anything else.
Isolation, isolation, isolation.
Mother I tried please believe me,
I'm doing the best that I can.
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through,
I'm ashamed of the person I am.
Isolation, isolation, isolation.
But if you could just see the beauty,
These things I could never describe,
These pleasures a wayward distraction,
This is my one lucky prize.
Isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation.
<@#Joy_Division_Komakino.txt#@>
This is the hour when the mysteries emerge.
A strangeness so hard to reflect.
A moment so moving, goes straight to your heart,
The vision has never been met.
The attraction is held like a weight deep inside,
Something I'll never forget.
The pattern is set, her reaction will start,
Complete but rejected too soon.
Looking ahead in the grip of each fear,
Recalls the life that we knew.
The shadow that stood by the side of the road,
Always reminds me of you.
How can I find the right way to control,
All the conflicts inside, all the problems beside,
As the questions arise, and the answers don't fit,
Into my way of things,
Into my way of things.
<@#Joy_Division_Something_Must_Break.txt#@>
Someone take these dreams away,
That point me to another day,
A duel of personalities,
That stretch all true realities.
That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me.
Where figures from the past stand tall,
And mocking voices ring the halls.
Imperialistic house of prayer,
Conquistadors who took their share.
That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me.
Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me.
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me,
They keep calling me.
<@#Joy_Division_These_Days.txt#@>
Morning seems strange, almost out of place.
Searched hard for you and your special ways.
These days, these days.
Spent all my time, learnt a killer's art.
Took threats and abuse 'till I'd learned the part.
Can you stay for these days?
These days, these days.
Used outward deception to get away,
Broken heart romance to make it pay.
These days, these days.
We'll drift through it all, it's the modern age.
Take care of it all now these debts are paid.
Can you stay for these days?
<@#Joy_Division_Walked_In_Line.txt#@>
All dressed in uniforms so fine,
They drank and killed to pass the time,
Wearing the shame of all their crimes,
With measured steps, they walked in line.
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line.
They carried pictures of their wives,
And numbered tags to prove their lives,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line.
Full of a glory never seen,
They made it through the whole machine,
To never question anymore,
Hypnotic trance, they never saw,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,

They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
They walked in line,
Walked in line,
Walked in line.

Alright baby. You know how to have a good time don't cha
It's the way you stand
You're always attracting attention
Now with your hands on your hips, and a
Snarl on your lips
Your eyes wore the look of danger
There's a lion in your heart,
That's set to quick start,
To a glance from any stranger
You give as good as you get
No one's beat you yet
You take the lead
You never need
You know all the moves you've got to make
You take it all, you take it all the way
Ya never do things by half
You're a man with a reputation
You never shy when the problems fly
You can cope with any situation
You take the wheel and crack the whip
You never slip
You rule the roost
You always boast
Yeah you're lookin' after number one
You take it all, you take it all the way
<@#Judas_Priest_Between_The_Hammer_And_The_Anvil.txt#@>
Storm warning
But there's no fear
Lies forming
The sacrament lays bare
The sinner
Will testify
They'll suffer
When sacrificed on high
The burning sermons purge their evil words
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Force rises
False rituals
Baptises
The body and the soul
Our union
Their fall from grace
Confession (confess your sins)
Will seal them to their fate
The burning sermons will survive their curse
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Transgression
They prey on grief
Our mission
To purify belief
This altar
Gives power and light
They'll falter
While we are shining bright
The burning sermons consecrate their sin
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Storm warning
But there's no fear
<@#Judas_Priest_Blood_Red_Skies.txt#@>
As the sun goes down, I move around
Keeping to the shadows
Life, hangs by a thread
And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow
If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you
I'm telling you
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
Blood red skies
Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
They're closing in
They'll never win
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
Blood red skies
As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand. I will fight
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
Blood red skies
You'll never take me alive
I'm telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
As the sun goes down
I won't give in to fear
<@#Judas_Priest_Death_Row.txt#@>
Let me out
Sorry son
Commit a crime, pay the price
Death row, What's that 'No stay?'
Oh! Ok I'll tell him
Dead man walking
We've all been detained
For the crimes we've committed
They stayed execution
But we'll never get acquitted
Waiting for the day when they strap us in
And when they pull the lever
Hear the goddamn screams
Shake with fear
Electric chair
We're all inside
Homicide related
They'll show no mercy
And we don't anticipate it
We move a little closer
Every day to meet our maker
They cover up our face
And then they close the circuit breaker
Oh! No!
Shake with fear
Your time draws near
Oh! No! I won't go
You'll never get me down to
Death row
Oh come on man
Give me a break
I made one mistake, that's all it takes
I ain't that bad
I ain't done nothing wrong
Shake with fear
The end is near
Oh! No! I won't go
You'll never get me down to
Death row
Oh! No! They're taking me slow
One way ticket to
Death row
So what's the matter son
Too young to die
Take it like a man
Don't cry
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Oh! No! I won't go
You'll never get me down to
Death row
Say a prayer, best beware
It's not very nice in the electric chair
Oh! No! I won't go
You'll never get me down to
Death row
Oh! No! They're taking me slow
One way ticket to
Death row

Standing by my window, breathing summer breeze
Saw a figure floating, 'neath the willow tree
Asked us if we were happy, we said we didn't know
Took us by the hands and up we go
We followed the dreamer through the purple hazy clouds
He could control our sense of time
We thought we were lost but no matter how we tried
Everyone was in peace of mind
We felt the sensations drift inside our frames
Finding complete contentment there
And all the tensions that hurt us in the past
Just seemed to vanish in thin air
He said in the cosmos is a single sonic sound
That is vibrating constantly
And if we could grip and hold on to the note
We would see our minds were free...oh they're free
We are lost above
Floating way up high
If you think you can find a way
You can surely try
<@#Judas_Priest_Electric_Eye.txt#@>
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
I'm elected electric spy
I'm Elected. Protected. Detective. Electric eye

Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp
Let him get close to you
So you're in his trip
First you'll smoke and moulder
Blister up and singe
When ignition hits you
The very soul of your being will cringe
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to you knees and repent if you please
Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Looks around and make you
See the light again
So much self-indulgence
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance
Cauterising masses
melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please
Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter

I wanna go some place where I can scream and shout
Show me the lights, where I can find
The only thing I need to give me peace of mind
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go hot rockin'
Where is the spark that kicks the air
Where is the energy that charges everywhere
I see the crowd, I hear the roar
I feel my body to leave the ground and soar
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go hot rockin'
I'm goin' out in search of the bright lights
Somehow I feel that tonight is the right night
I'm almost there I've got the vibration
It's coming strong from this generation
My blood is hot, from now on I'm set free
My pulse is hot, so don't try to stop me
'Cause this is it and I'm hot rockin'
Don't let it stop, don't let it end
Please let it carry on and on and on again
I get so high. Knocked off my feet yeah
This is the only way I want, I want, I want
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go hot rockin'
It's all I want, it's all I crave
I just want to go hot rockin'

White bolt of lightning
Came out of nowhere
Blinded the darkness
Creating the storm
War in the heavens
Vengeance ignited
Torment and tempest
Attacks like a swarm
Forged out of Flame
From chaos to destiny
Bringer of pain
Forever undying
Judas is Rising
Eternal betrayer
Ice cold and evil
Taking no prisoners
Dark prince of the world
Humanity trembles
Enslaving you sinners
You can't beg for mercy
For none will be saved
The burden of sin
Echoes the prophecy
Ascending from hell
Forever despising

Their faith is revealed
Deceivers are crying
By crucified steel
Evangelising

Blood and thunder
Rushing through me
Till the dawn of light
The sky is turning red
Like a renegade
All alone I walk through fire
Till I crash and blaze
I'm living on the edge
Start a chain reaction
Sears the neon light
Stealing all the action
Always takes the fight
Leather rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather rebel
With a burning heart
Master of the streets
Bullet proof and bound for glory
Cities at my feet
I'm turning on the power
Running wild and free
No-one dares to stand before me
That's my destiny
To rule the darkest hours
I can see my future
Writings on the wall
Legend in my lifetime
Stories will recall

Call for the priest, I'm dying...
Well, the pressure's too much, you know I peaked last night
I gotta get some a quick release
City is standing on my shoulders
My body's going piece by piece
Ooh..!
Yes I know what I want and I know where to get it
And I'm going there right away
This is one priest that I don't have to fall on
Down to my knees and pray
Ooh..!
When your back's to the wall come along one and all
We shall fight all the slander that's penned
It's us we shall choose let the bigoted lose
For our triumph's the means to their end
With you by my side I shall ride every storm
Let the cynics drop dead in their critical head
They're wrist merchants as we all can see
Bunch of deaf ears with their columnized fears
What a shame, what a shame, oh dear me!
Ooh..!

Been awake all night, can't get no sleep

You're gonna get richer, I gotta get wild
Anytime you want to
Anyway you need
Get your love for money there, satisfaction guaranteed
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
I'm behind the wheel, throttle open wide
The gas tanks full, do you want to ride
Drivin' in the fast lane at night
I can't keep my eyes off your red tail light
You know where we're goin'
I know where where are
Set the rear view mirror for
The backseat or the car
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
In your leather and chrome you're all the rage
All you want to do is get backstage
You heard all the stories, are they true
The rock 'n' roll circus is calling you
When you get there baby
You'll be hypnotized
Never seen nothin' like it no
You won't believe your eyes
Wo oh, love zone

You know what I mean

Pounding the world like a battering ram
Forging the furnace for the final grand slam
Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done
Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none
Hammering anvils straining muscle and might
Shattering blows crashing browbeating fright
Fast devastating and desolating the curse
Blasting the cannons of truth through each man of this earth
Wielding the axe comes the one culmination
That's always seemed certain to bring down the curtain on greed
Sifting the good from the bad it's the age for the rage
Of the dogs which must fall to the just and be free
Now grate for the vandals who trampled and sampled
Till this place conditioned brought forth demolition to war
The slipping and sliding corrosive subsiding
That withered and waned till the world seemed all drained fills the bay
Pounding the world like a battering ram
Forging the furnace for the final grand slam
Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done
Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none
Second to none

Wherever I roam
Keeps bringing me back to you
Holding on to hope
There's no need to fear

Keeps telling you that I'm near
So lift up your heart
Cause the brave will always come through
While we're apart
We will raise the red, white and blue
When I stand alone
Without you by my side
I think of all

It fills me up with pride
Reaching out to you
Across mountains, sea and sky

Well, we don't care in the least, cause our metal is a feast
But there's always someone tryin' to put it down
So we crank the music louder
And our voices turn to power
With a wall of sound we'll blow 'em all away

Holy father drink the fire water
Preaching peace as you go to war
Politicians making brave decisions
Always got self interest at heart
We are to you just a drop in the ocean
Maybe that's true but it's only a notion
You integrate with a friendly intrusion
We won't get fooled we have come to conclusion
Subterfuge deludes the views of you and me
We're confused but still we choose to disagree
Subterfuge consumes us but defiantly
We refuse to bow down to conformity
Evil mothers hiding under covers
Always near but just out of sight
Hey big brother watch as we recover
'Cause we'll never give up the fight
And we say no!
Give us a name and you give us the power
Watch as we gather our strength by the hour
You think we're blind and weak in decision
But we see it all from peripheral vision
Subterfuge deludes the views of you and me
We're confused but still we choose to disagree
Subterfuge consumes us but defiantly
We refuse to bow down to conformity
Somebody wins, somebody lose
Some call it subterfuge
Somebody wins, somebody lose
They fall to subterfuge
Subterfuge deludes the views of you and me

We refuse to bow down to conformity

I've been away too long
Out again upon the thunder road
Driving back to you where I belong

Spotlights, wild nights

All look the same
Hot wired, so tired
Living from song to song
The madness, the badness
It's just a game

Oh! That's when I need it most
Can't explain, it's something in the blood
Wouldn't change it even if I could

You said I could never find
A way to ease your mind
That where I'd go you'd wind up in the dust
I tried so hard to have you reach
Another side of me
Instead you went to nowhere and forgot
So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
Desert heat can wear you down
But still I'm rollin' through
Did I see your figure in the haze
I am driven by a thirst
To quench myself of love
The sun beats on me for the price I've paid
Night road leads me to a town of ghosts
Beckoned by the glow of kerosene and tumbleweed
They're calling out (They're calling out)
Forevermore (Forevermore)
Worth fighting for
I'm leaning in the wind
Head bowed down from what I saw
My shadow for a friend
Still some things are worth fighting for
So I'm moving on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
Yeah !
Worth fighting for!

Every dawn becomes a new day
A time to love, a time to cry
Every river knows its own way
And it's the same for you and I
And every heart must have a reason
A winding road, a midnight flight
[Chorus:]
Freedom, freedom
What we all need is freedom in our hearts
Freedom, freedom
What we all need is freedom in our hearts
We fight and die defending honor
The pride and prejudice we hide
A mother's tears, a father's anger
From trying to stop the pain and lies
So we pretend to look for answers
While I blame you and you blame me
[Chorus]
We don't need the pain anymore
To move our mountains, to reach our shores
What I've found is the choice I bring
What I can do to let freedom ring?
[Chorus]
Freedom from the darkness
Freedom from the violence
Freedom from the hate
Freedom from the fear
Freedom from the hunger
Freedom from the forgiveness
Freedom from the past
Freedom from the mistakes
[Chorus]
Tell the people now
Freedom, freedom
What we all need is freedom in our hearts
Freedom, freedom
What we all need is freedom in our hearts

I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to come too?
[Chorus]
I know why I'm singin'
Don't you want to sing too?
Can't you hear the bells a ringin'?
Let the spirit move you
Just close your eyes and let it flow
Lean your head back, let it go
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to come too?
[Chorus]
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to come too?
I got my reservations
And I got you for you
I know why I'm singin'
Don't you want to sing too?
Can't you hear the bells a ringin'?
Let the spirit move you
Spirit move you, yeah
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to come too?
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to come too?
<@#Judds_I_Saw_The_Light.txt#@>
I laid a red rose
On your front porch
Wrote "I love you"
On a note
I rang the door bell
And turned to go
Baby, when the curtains moved
I couldn't believe the view
[Chorus:]
I saw the light in your window tonight
I saw two shadows holding each other tight
I know the truth when I look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight
So take your cheatin' hands
Off my red dress
'Cause I ain't wearin'
This thing for you
I see you clearly now
And your lies, too
They say that love is blind
Baby, not this time
[Chorus]
Why, baby, why should I listen to you?
I cried, baby, cried, now I'm walking out the door
They say that love is blind, baby, not this time
[Chorus]
<@#Judds_Let_Me_Tell_You_About_Love.txt#@>
Well ever since the day that time began
There's been this thing 'tween a woman and a man
We'll, I don't know but I do believe
It started in the garden with Adam and Eve
Sampson and Delilah had their fling
'Til she cut his hair and clipped his wing
It don't matter how the story's told
Love stays young it can't grow old
[Chorus]
Let me tell you about love
About the moon and stars above
It's what we've all been dreamin' of
Let me tell you about love
Well, Bonaparte and Josephine
I believe they had a pretty good scene
Until she said Bonnie boy, we're through
That's when he met his Waterloo
Julie baby and Romeo
Fell in love and stole the show
I know they are history
But there ain't been nothin' like you and me
[Chorus]
Now Sheba she was a beauty queen
The purtiest thing that you ever have seen
Solomon he was a mighty wise
Sheba she done caught his eye
The world would be in a dreadful fix
If it wasn't for the love between the cats and chicks
The world wouldn't amount to much
Without a hug and a kiss and a tender touch
[Chorus]
Let me tell you about love
Let me tell you about love
Yeah
<@#Judds_River_Of_Time.txt#@>
I'm holding back a flood of tears
Just thinking 'bout those happy years
Like all the good times that are no more
My love is gone, gone, gone forever more
Silence so deep only my soul can hear
Says now the past is what I fear
The future isn't what it used to be
Only today is all that's promised me
Flow on, river of time
Wash away the pain and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away
And leave it all far behind
Flow on river of time
We're all driven by the winds of change
Seems like nothing ever stays the same
It's fate that guides me around the bend
Life's forever beginning, beginning again
Flow on, river of time
Wash away the pain and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away
And leave it all far behind
Flow on river of time
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Flow on
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on river of time
Flow on
Flow on river of time
<@#Judds_This_Countrys_Rockin.txt#@>
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor
If you're old or young
Everybody, every now and then
Has got to have some fun
So turn up the music
Turn up the juice
Put me in the spotlight
And turn me loose
You better hold on tight
This country's gonna rock tonight
[Chorus]
This country's rockin'
To the beat of a brand new drum
Back in Kentucky where I come from
They love to hear that old guitar strum
This country's rockin'
Jump back and let the bad boys play
Everywhere across the USA
This country's rockin' all the way
You might ride a horse, drive a Porsche
Or cruise in limousines
Eat caviar with champagne
Or cornbread with your pinto beans
But there's one thing
In which we all agree
We love our country music
Like the Queen loves tea
What a lovely sight
We're gonna rock tonight
[Chorus]
<@#Judy_Garland_(Dear_Mr._Gable)_You_Made_Me_Love_You.txt#@>
You made me love you
I didn't want to do it
I didn't want to do it
You made me love you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times
Dear, you made me feel so bad
You made me sigh for
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes I do, deed I do
You know I do
Give me, give me
Give me what I cry for
You know you got the brand of kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you
<@#Judy_Garland_A_Foggy_Day.txt#@>
I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do? What to do? What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed,
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London Town
The sun was shining everywhere.
<@#Judy_Garland_All_Gods_Chillun_Got_Rhythm.txt#@>
Chillun', listen here to me
This is my philosophy
To see me through the day
To scare my cares away
All God's Chillun Got Rhythm
All God's Chillun got swing
Maybe haven't got money
Maybe haven't got shoes
All God's Chillun Got Rhythm
For to push away the blues
Yeah !
All God's Chillun got trouble
Trouble don't mean a thing
When they start to go ho ho ho de ho
Troubles bound to go 'way, say!
All God's Chillun Got Swing.
<@#Judy_Garland_Easy_To_Love.txt#@>
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
And we would be so grand at the game
Carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
Cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love
You'd be so easy to love
Easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep all the home fires burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
Cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love
Easy to love

<@#Judy_Garland_Have_Yourself_A_Merry_Little_Christmas.txt#@>
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be
Out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yule-tide gay
Next year all our troubles will be
Miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon, we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
<@#Judy_Garland_I_Love_A_Piano.txt#@>
I love a piano, I love a piano.
I love to hear somebody play upon a piano, a grand piano.
It simply carries me away.
I know a fine way to treat a Steinway.
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories.
And with the pedal I love to meddle.
When Padarewski comes this way.
I'm so delighted if I'm invited to hear a long haired genius play.
So you can keep your fiddle and bow.
Give me a p-I-a-n-o o o.
I love to stop right beside an upright,
Or a high toned baby grand.
I love to stop right beside an upright,
Or a high toned baby grand.
<@#Judy_Garland_Im_Nobodys_Baby.txt#@>
I'm nobody's baby
I wonder why
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Please send me down somebody to love
But nobody wants me
I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Because I'm nobody's baby now
Nobody's baby
And I've got to know the reason why
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
"Hey! Maybe I was meant for you"
But he only shook his head and said "Goodbye"
He kept on walking down the avenue
Nobody wants me
I'm mighty blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Because I'm nobody's baby now
<@#Judy_Garland_In_The_Valley_(Where_The_Evening_Sun_Goes_Down).txt#@>
When white clouds go sailin'
To make my wedding gown,
Then we'll go trailin'
To the valley where the evening sun goes down.
And hidden away in the gloamin'
When leaves are turning brown,
We'll end our roaming
In the valley where the evening sun goes down.
We'll build a home in our valley there,
And watch it grow into a town
And you can sit in your rockin' chair
And watch the evening sun go down,
The evening sun go down.
<@#Judy_Garland_Johnny_One_Note_(From_Words_And_Music,_1948).txt#@>
Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sang was this
Ahh
Poor Johnny one note sang out with gusto
And just overlorded the place
Poor Johnny one note, yelled willy nilly
Until he was blue in the face
For holding one note was his ace
Couldn't hear the brass
Couldn't hear the drum
He was in a class, by himself, by gum
Poor Johnny one note got in Aida
Indeed a great chance to be brave
He took his one note, howled like the north wind
Brought forth wind that made critics rave
While Verdi turned 'round in his grave
Couldn't hear the flute
Or the big trombone
Every one was mute, Johnny stood alone
Cats and dogs stopped yapping
Lions in the zoo all were jealous of Johnny's big trill
Thunder claps stopped clapping
Traffic ceased its roar and they tell us Niagara stood still
He stopped the train whistles, boat whistles
Steam whistles, cop whistles
All whistles bowed to his skill
Ahh
Sing Johnny one note, sing out with gusto
And just overlord all the crowd
So sing Johnny one note, out loud
Sing Johnny one note
Sing Johnny one note out loud
<@#Judy_Garland_On_The_Bumpy_Road_To_Love.txt#@>
[Pinkie:]
There's a road that leads to happiness,
I know we can find it.
Although it's full of hills an spills, darling, we won't mind it.
I've got you, You've got me who cares how rough the road might be,
We'll go bumpty-bumpty bumpty-bump on the bumpy road to love.
Remember this when anything goes wrong,
Remember this we'll merrily roll along.
We'll get rich or we won't, but who cares whether we do or don't
We'll go bumpty-bumpty bumpty-bump on the bumpy road to love.
Hi-ho whadda we care. We're on our way but we don't know where.
We'll go bumpty-bumpty bumpty-bump on the bumpy road to love
Let's all join in and sing this tune, Dottie, Buzz, and Danny Boom
We'll go bumpty-bumpty bumpty-bump on the bumpy road to love
We'll never need a silver lining for we'll never ever have a cloud
Give three cheers for four Musketeers!
[Dottie:]
Only four?
[Pinkie:]
Just four
[Buzz:]
Just four?
[Pinkie:]
No more, for five would be a crowd, yes!

Hail! Hail! The gangs all here!

Home sweet home is in the rear.
Bumpty, bumpty, bumpty bump on the bumpy road

<@#Judy_Garland_Somewhere_Over_The_Rainbow.txt#@>
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Way above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
<@#Judy_Garland_Swanee.txt#@>
I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel, your love is real,
Near you I long to be!
The birds are singing, it is song time
The banjos strummin' soft and low
I know that you
Yearn for me too,
Swanee, you're calling me!
Swanee!
How I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee!
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E ven now my Mammy's waiting for me,
Praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee Shore!
Swanee!
How I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee!
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E ven now my Mammy's waiting for me,
Praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee Shore!
Swanee, Swanee, I'm coming back to Swanee!
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home!
Swanee, Swanee, I am coming back to Swanee!
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home!
<@#Judy_Garland_The_Trolley_Song.txt#@>
With my high starched-collar and my high-topped shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head,
I went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley
And lost my heart instead.
With his light brown derby and his bright green tie,
He was quite the handsomest of men.
I started to yen so I counted to ten
Then I counted to ten again.
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley,
Ding, ding, ding went the bell,
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings,
From the moment I saw him I fell.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor,
Bump, bump, bump went the brake,
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings,
When he smiled I could feel the car shake.
He tipped his hat, and took a seat.
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet.
He asked my name, I held my breath.
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor,
Pop, pop, pop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings,
As he started to go then I started to know how it feels,
When the universe reels.
The day was bright, the air was sweet,
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet.
You tried to sing, but couldn't squeak,
In fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak.
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings,
As he started to leave,
I took hold of his sleeve with my hand,
And as if it were planned,
He stayed on with me and it was grand just to stand
With his hand holding mine to the end of the line.
<@#Justin_Bieber_Catching_Feelings.txt#@>
The sun comes up on another morning
My mind never wakes up without you on it
And it's crazy to me, I even see you in my dreams
Is this meant to be? Could be happening to me?
We were best of friends since we were this high
So why do I get nervous every time you walk by
We would be on the phone all day
Now I can't find the words to say to you
Now what I'm supposed to do
Could there be a possibility
I'm trying to say what's up
'Cause I'm made for you, and you for me
Baby now is time for us
Shall I give it all together
But enough is enough
They say we're too young for love
But I'm catching feelings, catching feelings
In my head we're already together
I'm cool alone, but with you I'm better
I just wanna see you smile
You say the word and I'll be right there
I ain't never going nowhere
I'm just trying to see where this can take us
'Cause everything about you girl is so contagious
I think I finally got it done
Now it's left to do now, lets get out the mirror
And say it to her, her yeah
Could there be a possibility
I'm trying to say what's up
'Cause I'm made for you, and you for me
Baby now is time for us
Shall I give it all together
But enough is enough
They say we're too young for love
But I'm catching feelings, catching feelings
Should I tell her how I really feel (how I really feel)
Or should I moving closer just be still
How would I know?
'Cause if I take a chance, and I touch her hand
Will everything change?
How do I know if she feels the same?
Could there be a possibility
I'm trying to say what's up
'Cause I'm made for you, and you for me
Baby now is time for us
Shall I give it all together
But enough is enough
They say we're too young for love
But I'm catching feelings, catching feelings
Catching feelings, catching feelings
<@#Justin_Bieber_Christmas_Is_Dead.txt#@>
I can see
All the children around the world
Crying tears of deceit
And their parents are to blame
Christmas is dead
And that children should cry no more
All of it is just fake
There's no sense to believing in
Putting your kids health at risk
And its causing mental illnesses around the world
So, Christmas is dead
And pretend its just another day
Santa claus is fake
And children will cry
In order to admit the truth
When you say Christmas is the perfect time of year
I should put you to the test
I will say
You are careless
That's wrong
And you'll understand
How the truth will set you free and change you
Christmas is dead

Think I found my girl, if it's you then holla!
Think I found my girl, if it's you then speak to me
Girl it's getting late, the sun's going down
And it's about the time to shake my cross the town
But before I go, I just wanna say
That you stay on my mind each and everyday
I think I'm starting to like
The time that we spend
And it's building inside
Then I can't pretend
No I don't wanna fight it, I don't wanna hide the way I feel
So I guess it's time for me to say
That I got eyes for you baby, I want us to be together
And if you feel it too, tell me, no one will treat you better
Cause on nights like this, it's good to know that you got someone by your side
like this
The more and more you feel like you can live your life like this
And then you say, 'hope this will last forever'
Don't know if is love, it's too early to say
But if it's something like it I just want it to remain
Don't know if you're the one, that takes a little time
But in the mean time, girl you're feeling just fine
Cause the way you look at me, never seen that look before
And if it's a hint of what's to come then maybe can I get some more?
Not trying to be too forward, but I think it's best for you to know
I got eyes for you baby, I want us to be together
And if you feel it too, tell me, no one will treat you better
Cause on nights like this, it's good to know that you got someone by your side
like this
The more and more you feel like you can live your life like this
And then you say, 'hope this will last forever'
I think I found my girl, if it's you then holla!
Think I found my girl, if it's you then holla!
Think I found my girl, if it's you then speak to me
I think I found my girl, if it's you then holla!
Think I found my girl, if it's you then holla!
Think I found my girl, if it's you then speak to me
I got eyes for you baby, I want us to be together
And if you feel it too, tell me, no one will treat you better

Subjected to my system
Reflecting on the days
When we used to be just friends
Protected both our interest
Our trust was in a bank
That's where our hearts were safe
[Pre-Chorus]
And then we got closer
Separated from my ex
Til we got closure
Oh, in every visit
Feelings got stronger
Now this is out our hands
Our love is here to stay

So get used to me checking in
All day
Get used to me falling through
Just to see your face
There ain't a moment
I won't need your brace
Get used to me touching you
Get used to me loving you
Oh get used to it, eh

Oh get used to it, oh and oh

Oh counting down, it's almost Christmas Eve
Oh seven days shy of New Year's Eve

Take the elevator to the private jet

Yo 'Ye whattup
Raekwon
You got stacks like the international house of pancakes
All alone ready to phone me and your hand shakes
Palms is sweat it, don't regret
Never the walk miles for love I sit at starters deck
It just happens I was floating you seen it captain?
Blinked at me then I threw on my thinking cap
Taker, and then we can slide to Jamaica
Shopping for a year or two stop in Diego
It's obvious I'm gon sue your mommy is
We just friends so she can't Clyde Bonnie us
Fly walls down in the fly halls
Come to the master suite leave every piece in the master hall
All about money tied in a know stand over there
That's why I make it happen on blocks
Brazil cut sweater, Audi, leather
Playing the field tryna outslug Berretta
You see my baby over hit the road
Where she's going I swear nobody knows
I need to find her before another man does
I wouldn't want him to steal my love
I'm just tryin to be cool, cool, cool (tryn'a be cool)
What would you expect me to do (oh oh oh, oh oh oh, yeah)
I'm just tryin to find, find, find
That sweet love of mine
I'm runnin outta time
Where is my runway love
Searching low and high
Know that I'm not givin' up
I give it all up for her
I'll never be enough
I wont stop until I find
My runaway love
Last name West and my teeth Diamonds
She said yo what's your occupation, crazy rhyming?
Listen to Wu Tang
Trying crazy suits on
Stuntin' in our high top Louie's
Shorts is the coogies
Open up the door when you take her to the movies
When you meet the parents you tell De Niro
Her boyfriend is zero she needs to cut the wierdo
Next show they gotta up the zeroes
Nobody rocking like this sixty years old
The hard johns and the Walleys something caught me
I'm telling you what Wu-Tang taught me
The young youth rocking the gold tooth
Pull up in a drop top old school bumping the cash rules
No question we the reason why the summers blazin'
You looking good fly color Asian
Ra I give it yo ya, no trivia
She used to roll with my G-unit like Olivia
Till she caught me getting numbers not her's
(Sweet runaway love)
Guess that's the day she became a runaway love
I'm runnin outta time
Where is my runaway love
Searching low and high
Know that I'm not givin' up
I give it all up for her
I'll never be enough
I wont stop until I find
My runaway love
Why can't I find, the love of mine,
When you're standing in front of my face
Oh why (oh why), You must be mine
How did I let you get away
Leave it up to the most high sit in a ghost fly
Chillin' with two of my brothers we both live on deck
Grabbing em on set
This is how we roll independence she a go I'm gon go get
Take that queen assure to ya
We can live every month baby girl just call me up
Waking up mess in some cold sweats thinking of this the video tapes
Even the stress
My mind is a terrible thing to waste
No love lost I know I'm going crazy I can't floss
Me my lady left my homies
It's all baloney just like rocking an old pony
So when I chillin' I'm just lost no more feeling
I need my honey in my life get that film it
Take the time Rae Just and Ye shine
My runaway love give me mine come on
I'm runnin outta time
Where is my runaway love
Searching low and high
Know that I'm not givin' up
I give it all up for her
I'll never be enough
I wont stop until I find
My runaway love

And she getting to the point where it's too much for

Don't want no love in front of the camera
She don't like the lights

She don't like the lights
She's giving ultimatums, she don't like this life

Why can I choose between the two
One of the nights I'll run right now
I wish she could see, how good this can be
I hope she waits a little bit longer
'Cause I don't wanna live life, without her by my side
'Cause she gets the light that is in me
But she don't know, she don't know
She don't like the lights

Taking off with a rocket full of dough

You dealing with a bank robber

Taking off with a rocket full of dough

Your deal went south
Maybe call mr west
You need to pay the west for that heartbreak up in your chest
She took your home account and she don't even care
Not even a dream couldn't save you from this nightmare
She got the swagger of ti with a little hoe
And you got swagger right out of your house and home
It's pretty painful but you can't make it stop
And now your -- f'ed up you got your lollipop
You dealing with a bank robber
Another hustla with their head in your pocket
Taking off with a rocket full of dough
And there she go

Garbage around yells, bells and whistles like carnival sounds
Phenominal adrenaline from words of my mouth.

Cause everything below your neck killin' everything next to it
It's murder, murder
You say I need to watch out something might go down
Good I really wanna take this under the ground, under the ground
And I'll be down and throw it at that level
And even when you speak regular it's freaky girl, I say OK
So come on and leave me cause the deeper you take me the better
You killin' me softly but we can go as hard as you want to
The bed's way under the ground, under the ground
And I'll be down and throw it at that level
Oh that girl is murder
Everybody get down
Oh that girl is murder
Everybody get down
Under the lights and sound
Everybody get down, down
You know that she's a killer
Watch it get down, watch it get down
Watch it get down, watch it get down
Murder
You dancing around, hanging out the window
Talking real big with your little slim waist
And with all that below your waist
Girl, you know the next scene is murder, murder
Maybe you need to watch out something might go down
Girl, your body is gonna end up
Under the ground, under the ground
I'll be down and throw it at that level
And even when you dress regular a freak chic
Girl, you complement my taste
So girl don't be stingy the more that you give me the better, better
You know you killin' me softly but we can go as hard as you want to
Until the bed's way under the ground, under the ground
And I'll be down to go to that level
Oh that girl is murder
Everybody get down
Ooh that girl is murder
Everybody get down
Under the lights and sound
Everybody get down, down
You know that she's a killer
Watch it get down, watch it get down
Watch it get down, watch it get down
Murder
Yoko Ono, she got that Yoko Ono
You know that shit that made John Lennon go solo
Know that shit gotta be lethal
If that pussy broke up The Beatles
Told yah, ruined pop culture
All them playa days is over
Got me buying Rovers, rings
Jumping over brooms and church rooms, kabooms
That bomb, that P
It's a problem call the police
Red bottoms, white sheets that's murder, she a beast
Faces of death, she fine or what

Do do do doooooo
Dooo doooo
Oooo
Mmmmm
You're still captivating
Even though it's been so long
You used to love me
Tell me baby what went wrong
'cause now you march to a beat of a different song
I try to understand that we needed space
But everywhere I turn I see your face
And I've been wating for you to come home
'cause I don't want to be alone
Still Love you
Why did you take away your love
When did you think to just give up
How am I suppose to carry on now
With you
You were my life
I have changed girl since I last saw you
When you left you don't know what you put me through
But my heart still racing just being next to you
I can't escape the magic in your eyes
Is there a way to make you realize
There is no one more special to my heart
But you want us to be apart
Still Love
Why did you take away your love
When did you think to just give up
How am I suppose to carry on now
With you
You were my world
You ment everything to me
Your the air I breathe,
The song I sing
You were my queen
I was your King
But if we can try to work it out
We'll show the world what love is about
Baby come home
'cause I can't no more
Of this loneliness and emptiness
Why did you take away your love
When did you think to just give up
How am I suppose to carry on now
Without you
Why did you take away your love
When did you think to just give up
How ami suppose to carry on
Without you
You were my life

<@#Kanye_West_Everything_I_Am.txt#@>
Damn, here we go again
Common passed on this beat
I made it to a jam
Now everything I'm not, made me everything I am
Damn, here we go again
People talkin' shit, but when the shit hit the fan
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am
I'll never be picture-perfect Beyonce'
Be light as Albi or black as Chauncey
Remember him from blackstreet
He was as black as the street was
I'll never be as laid back as this beat was
I never could see why people'll reach a
Fake-ass versad that they couldn't keep up
Ya see how I creeped up?
Ya see how I played a big role in Chicago like Queen Latifah?
I never rock a mink coat in a winter time like Killa Cam
Or rock some mink boots in the summertime like Will.I.Am
Let me know if you feel it man
Cause everything I'm not, made me everything I am
Damn, here we go again
Everybody sayin' what's not for him
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am
Damn, here we go again
People talkin' shit, but when the shit hit the fan
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am
And I'm back to tear it up
Haters, start your engines
I hear 'em gearin' up
People talkin' so much shit about me at barbershops
They forget to get their haircut
Okay fair enough, the streets is flarin' up
Cause they want gun-talk, or I don't wear enough
Baggy clothes, Reebok's, or A-di-dos
Can I add that he do spaz out at his shows
So say goodbye to the N-double-A-C-P award
Goodbye to the India Arie award
They'd rather give me the nigga-please award
But I'll just take the I-got-a-lot a-cheese award
Damn, here we go again
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am
Damn, here we go again
People talkin' shit, but when the shit hit the fan
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am
I know that people wouldn't usually rap this
But I got the facts to back this
Just last year, Chicago had over six hundred caskets
Man, killin's some wack shit
Oh, I forgot, 'cept for when niggas is rappin'
Do you know what it feel like when people is passin'?
He got changed over his chains, a block off Ashlin
I need to talk to somebody, pastor
The church want time, so I can't afford to pay
The slip on the door, cause I can't afford to stay
My 15 seconds up, but I got more to say
That's enough Mr. West, please no more today
Damn, here we go again
Everybody sayin' what's not for him
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am
Damn, here we go again
People talkin' shit, but when the shit hit the fan

[Chorus: Twista]
And we gone stay hustling on the block until we caught
And we gone stay showing off that jewelry that we bought
And we gone stay heated in case it's in and out of court
'Cause we some gangstas, I don't know what the fuck you thought
[Verse One: Ludacris]
Sometimes I think that I gotta see a little bit of brighter days
'Cause I confine myself to a city near you in a solid cage
And you could look to the left and the right, but I'm trapped on center stage
And I could rap to the beat, but I don't know how to change my wage
I still hear a pull and I track 'em, and strack 'em, and whack 'em
Jack a nigga for the day to days and I yak 'em, attack 'em, and sack 'em
Get a weapon and I crack his brain 'cause I'm hustler, baller, pro
And it wouldn't be right for me to be around busters, and crawlers, and hoes
But I'm a pimp at night so talk shit and I'm gonna lift 'em up off of their
toes
With a street sweeper regulating quarters, and ki's, and o's
In the two seater, Ludacris and Twista with bags of 'dro
Smoking and choking, get 'em up and croaking
It's so potent, I'm hoping to keep on floating
Soaking wet and you can bet, people I'm high
I'm seeing lions, and tigers and bears - oh my!
And I can't hide it and keep it hidden, good riddance of feeling good
I'm weapon-concealing, stealing my neighborhood
Would, could, and should break a nigga off
They'll see you later, go to the doctor, hold my balls and (cough)
Because the vapors and I caught the drawn, brain blown, honey I'm home
Give me the microphone, and fools is like, "leave me alone!"
[Chorus:]
[Verse Two: Twista]
Throw it up if you get high, get blowed, get drunk
If you on what I'm on come on and kick it, let's ride, smoke 'dro, beat the
trunk
All the bad ass bitches that want to party, just shake it, great players get
pumped
Me and my thugs and hustlers in the party, get money, fuck hoes, get crunk
(Look out) Put a little bit of hash and some motherfucking purple haze
I feel it all over my body, adrenaline with the Bacardi
Got me up and then ripping shit in a rage
In the netti confetti with a belly, gucci
Timberland stepping on the pedal up in the 'lac truck
Want to get me for the wood
Better get the whole motherfucking 'hood to come and give you some back up
We can get into it and if you want to do it
I'm leaking the fluids out of the bodies that want to come at this
If they ever got some blood for fucking with thugs that I bury
My adversaries better not want none of Twis'
Represent for the city, anybody that different with me
Got into thinking it's a game
And whether you in my city and I talk shit
I'm going to kill him, especially if he say my name
I've been known to handle my business
Or I'm gonna stick him up for the scrilla, from K-Tilla, smoking on a fat
pilla
Murder haters that I'm full of
Niggaz claiming they wanna bring a baretta they'll be killas
Balling out so hard the size of my rims grows to a hellafied sight-scene
When the dough become no bigger, I'm gonna still drop that 2003
(Throw it up if you...)
[Chorus:] - 2X

But my sight is better tonight and I might
See you in my nightmare, oh how did you get there
Cause we were once a fairytale
But this is farewell
I got my life and its my only one
I got the night, I'm running from the sun
So goodnight, I made it out the door (door, door, door)
After tonight, there will be no return
After tonight, I'm taking off on the road
I'm taking off on the road
And that you know (that you know)
Tell every one that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know (that you know)
Okay I'm back up on my grind
You do you and I'm just gone do mine
You do you, cause I'm just gone be fine
Okay I got you out my mind

Well know you know,

And that's one thing that you know

See you in my nightmare, oh but how did you get there
Cause we were once a fairytale
But this is farewell
Baby girl I'm finished!
I thought we were committed
I thought we were cemented
I really thought we meant it
But now we just repentin'
And now we just resentin'
The clouds is in my vision
Look how high I be gettin'
And its all because of you
Girl we through
You think your shit don't stink,
But you are Mr.. p-u

Still rock the Prada 'fore that, rock the Starter

Like when I do a project and come back and tear the mall up

Southside, southside, south
Side of the broads, the cars, the half moon, the stars
I'm like Jeff Fort, the way I get behind bars
Burn CDs with no regard for the stars
Come to the grip with conflict diamonds and the arts
Back in '94 they call me Chi-Town's Nas
Now them niggas know I'm one of Chi-Town's gods

The crowd is open, I think I know why
I'm back from the future, seen it with my own eyes
And yep, I'm still the future of the Chi
Back in college I had to get my back up off the futon
I knew that I couldn't cop a coup with no coupons
Look at that neutron on his green like two dimes
People asking him, "Do you have any gray poupon?"
We coming from the

Southside, southside, southside, side of the Chi
You in the building but the building's falling
You wouldn't be balling if your name is Spalding
My mind get flooded, I think about New Orleans
Back in school, y'all niggas, you should call him August
I'm the sun that goes down but I'm still revolving
Southside 'bout to walk it out, I still get crawling
If rap was Harlem, I'd be James Baldwin
With money in the bank like G Rap, we're calling
We coming from the

Southside, southside
Southside, southside, southside of the Chi
With niggas masked up like Phantom of the Opera
Dreaming of the day they push a phantom to the operas
Can't wait 'til they say, "Yeah, he ran up at the Oscars"
Poppa, I heard his life is like a movie
Like when Em' played him and Mekhi played a rasta
Mexicans don't love it like it was for La Raza
But this is for the mobsters, holla
We some true Chi-Town legends, accept no [Incomprehensible]
We coming from the

Southside, southside
Southside, southside, southside of the Chi
The un-American Idol, Tower like the Eiffel
'Lean Wit it, Rock Wit It', black like the Disciples
Know when to use a Bible and when to use a rifle
You rap like you should be on the back of a motorcycle
Caught a case of robbery and 'Beat It' like Michael
Your career is a typo, mine was written like a haiku
I write to 'Do the Right Things' like Spike do
Through conflicts is crucial and trauma is psycho
We coming from the
Southside, southside

Southside, southside, southside of the Chi
We're coming from the

Hear the voice of His spirit
Call upon His name
He is near
He is with us

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is Thee
Sing a new song to Him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is He
Sing a new song to Him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You
Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lighting rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor strength and glory and power be
To You the only one who's King
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You
Filled with wonder awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name
Jesus Your name is power, breath and living water
Such a marvelous mystery
Oh, You're worthy, mystery
You are worthy
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You, I will adore You

And you ah? You do ah?
We let it in, we give it out.
And in the end, what's it all about?
It must be love.
I give you my, I give you my
You give me your, you give me your joy.
We used to say "Ah Hell, we're young"
But now we see that life is sad. And so is love.
(Ooh baby live your life for love)
(Ooh baby live your life for love)
We used to say "Ah Hell, we're young"
But now we see that life is sad. And so is love.
(Ooh baby for the sake of love)
(Ooh baby for the sake of love)
And whatever happens, what really matters?
It's all we've got, isn't that enough?
(Life is sad and so is love).
You let it slip, you let it slip.
(Life is sad and so is love)
I love you more, I love you more for it.
(Life is sad and so is love)
Oh yeah, oh you too.
(Life is sad and so is love)
All for love.
(Life is sad and so is love)
Just for the sake of love.
(Life is sad and so is love)
You set me free, I set you free.

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on a treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
Well I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
Well I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean
Goodbye Norma Jean
Goodbye
Goodbye Norma Jean

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
Whistling tunes we hid in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears
Jeux sans frontieres
Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-wars without tears

You know that I'll be waiting
To hear your footsteps saying
That you'll be coming home for Christmas.
Please say you won't forget me
That every moment's empty
But only 'til you're coming home for Christmas.
If I only had wings
Then I would fly to you
Through all the snowy weather
We'd be together
No one makes me feel the way you do.
You know that I'll be waiting
To hear your footsteps saying
That you'll be coming home
Home for Christmas.

(Come up and be a kite)
Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o
My feet are heavy and I'm rooted in my wellios
And I want to get away and go (I want to be, I want to be)
From all these mirror windows
I look at eye level, it isn't good enough
And then I find it out, when I take a good look up
There's a hole in the sky (there's a whole) with a big eyeball (there's a
whole in the sky)
Calling me
Come up and be a kite
And fly a diamond night
A diamond kite, diamond kite
A diamond kite, diamond kite
Oh, what a diamond!
A diamond kite, on a diamond flight
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the moon
Over the moon
Come up and be a kite
I feel a rush along my body like a bullet
I'm 2D, after a push and pull feeling
And I want to get (I want to be, I want to be) back to safe home
I love the homeland dome
I got no limbs, I'm like a feather on the wind
I'm not sure if I want to be up here at all
And I'd like to be (I'd like to be, I'd like to be) back on the ground
But I don't know how to get down
Come up and be a kite
And fly a diamond night
A diamond kite, diamond kite
A diamond kite, diamond kite
Oh, what a diamond!
A diamond kite, on a diamond flight
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the moon
Over the moon
Come up and be a kite
Come up and be a kite

I remember it was that Wednesday
Oh when it rained and it rained
They traipsed mud all over the house
It took hours and hours to scrub it out
All over the hall carpet
I took my mop and bucket
And I cleaned and I cleaned
The kitchen floor
Until it sparkled
Then I took my laundry basket
And put the linen all in it
And everything I could fit in it
And all our dirty clothes that hadn't gone into the wash
And all your shirts and jeans and things
And put them in the new washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine
I watched them go 'round and 'round
My blouse wrapping itself in your trousers
Oh the waves are going out
My skirt floating up around my waist
As I wade out into the surf
Oh and the waves are coming in
Oh and the waves are going out
Oh and you're standing right behind me
Little fish swim between my legs
Oh and the waves are coming in
Oh and the waves are going out
Oh and the waves are coming in
Out of the corner of my eye
I think I see you standing outside
But it's just your shirt
Hanging on the washing line
Waving its arm as the wind blows by
And it looks so alive
Nice and white
Just like its climbed right out
Of my washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine
Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
Get that dirty shirty clean
Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
Make those cuffs and collars gleam
Everything clean and shiny
Washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine

You've never driven through a red light,
Or let your mind leave your body.
It's pitch black in bed every night:
You set the clock right for the morning alarm.
You've never wanted to start any fights,
Don't know a thing about tapping in on wires.
I fill the room with people
But still you sit empty,
Stuck like putty.
I tried to teach you good rock'n'roll,
But you couldn't get over the old one-two,
And nevertheless, you'll do.
Nevertheless, you'll do.
Nevertheless, I do.
You're getting up in the morning and put on your suit [ca. 0'55]
For the office, and leave me.
You come home all pushed and pulled,
At six-thirty in the evening.
The television, it takes you away
To a picture-world where I have no say in it.
I fill the room with people
But still you sit empty,
Stuck like putty.
I tried to teach you good rock'n'roll,
But you couldn't get over the old one-two,
And nevertheless, you'll do.

[Chorus:]
Sweet dreams
On this Midsummer might
Everyone is sleeping
We go driving into the moonlight
Could be in a dream
Our clothes are on the beach
These prints of our feet
Lead right up to the sea
No one, no one is here
No one, no one is here
We stand in the Atlantic
We become panoramic
We tire of the city
We tire of it all
We long for just that something more
Could be in a dream
Our clothes are on the beach
These prints of our feet
Lead right up to the sea
No one, no one is here
No one, no one is here
We stand in the Atlantic
We become panoramic
The stars are caught in our hair
The stars are on our fingers
A veil of diamond dust
Just reach up and touch it
The sky's above our heads
The sea's around our legs
In milky, silky water
We swim further and further
We dive down
We dive down
A diamond night, a diamond sea
And a diamond sky
We dive deeper and deeper
We dive deeper and deeper
Could be we are here
Could be we are in a dream
It came up on the horizon
Rising and rising
In a sea of honey, a sky of honey
A sea of honey, a sky of honey
[Chorus]
Look at the light, all the time it's a changing
Look at the light, climbing up the aerial
Bright, white coming alive jumping off of the aerial
All the time it's a changing, like now
All the time it's a changing, like then again
All the time it's a changing
And all the dreamers are waking.
<@#Kate_Bush_Scares_Me_Silly.txt#@>
Here in the studio,
As they're turning down the lights,
I lick my lips to start the first line -
How can this girl be me?
"Oh, little thing, are you looking lost?"
The vertigo, the need to lose. "
Ooh, ooh...
They try to put me on the tapes begin to spin,
I feel a little sick and hope my notes are in,
I try to put it all in, do it for you,
Don't even know you but I need you to love me, too.
They try to put me on the tape begin to spin,
I feel a little sick and hope my notes are in,

Scares me silly, but it gets me going,
Like a Romeo.
Scares me silly, but it gets me going,
Like a Romeo.
Scares me silly, but it gets me going.
Swimming amid the cans
I wonder can I goad myself into another take,
And keep the mood?
It's like a film - such balance.
I close my eyes to the cello solo and ache,
The music will never let me blow away you-oo.
You know the feeling when you're on the right track.
You fall in love and you're never gonna turn it back.
It's a part of you, they're so sensitive,
Oozing without me, filling over with secrets.

<@#Kate_Bush_Shes_Leaving_Home.txt#@>
Wednesday morning at five o'clock
As the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the back door key
Stepping outside she is free
She (we gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (we gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone for
So many years (bye bye)
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me
She (We never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone for
So many years (bye bye)
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade
She (what did we do that was wrong)
Is having (we didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied for
So many years (bye bye)
She's leaving home (bye bye)
<@#Kate_Bush_The_Song_Of_Solomon.txt#@>
The song of Solomon
The song of everyone
Who walks the path
Of the solitary heart
The soul cries out
Hear a woman singing
[Chorus:]
Don't want your bullshit, yeah
Just want your sexuality
Don't want excuses, yeah
Write me your poetry in motion
Write it just for me, yeah
And sign it with a kiss
Just take any line
"Comfort me with apples
For I am sick of love
His left hand is under my head
And his right hand
Doth embrace me"
This is the Song of Solomon
Here's a woman singing
[Chorus]
And I'll do it for you
I'll be the Rose of Sharon for you
I'll do it for you
I'll be the Lily of the Valley for you
I'll do it for you
I'll be Isolde or Marion for you
I'll do it for you
Ooh I'll come in a hurricane for you
I'll do it for you
Don't want your bullshit
Just want your sexuality

You're a one of a one
A one of a kind
That you only find once in a lifetime
Made to fit like a fingerprint
A code that clicks open a gold mine
They say one man's trash is another man's treasure
When I found you, it was all pretty better
Secretly, I hit the lottery 'cause you're
Brighter than all of the Northern the Lights
You speak to me, even in my dreams, wouldn't
Let you go for even the highest price
They say one man's trash is another girl's treasure
So if it's up to me, I'm gonna keep you forever
'Cause I understand you,
We see eye to eye
Like a double rainbow
In the sky
And wherever you go
So will I
'Cause a double rainbow
Is hard to find
Was a phenomenon when you came along, yeah
Chemistry was more than science
It was deafening, loud like
lightning, it was striking, you couldn't deny it
They say one man's trash is another man's treasure
The two of us together, make everything glitter
'Cause I understand you,
We see eye to eye
Like a double rainbow
In the sky
And wherever you go
So will I
'Cause a double rainbow
Is hard to find
To the bottom of the sea, I'd go to find you
Climb the highest peak to be right beside you
Every step I take, I'm keeping you in mind
(Ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause I understand you,
We see eye to eye
Like a double rainbow
In the sky
And wherever you go (I go up for you)
So will I
'Cause a double rainbow

<@#Katy_Perry_Just_A_Song.txt#@>
So when my voice breaks
It's called interpretation
When I
Hold a note
It's cause I want to...
Not cause I feel anything about you
So don't flatter yourself thinking that I
Love you...
Make you emotional
From major to the minor when I
Lose control
I'm not trying to impress you
Break it down
And I get your attention
But it's just formula
Don't need your validation, validation
This is just a song
The music plays and then
Then it's gone again
This is just a song
The words don't mean a thing
And everytime I sing
I loved you all along
Remember, remember...
This is just a song
Now I've been nothing
Yes, I'm on auto-piolit
Have selfish words
Even singing while I'm sleeping
Just cause you have showed up here to see me
Doesn't mean I'm going home with you this evening
<@#Katy_Perry_Mannequin.txt#@>
How do I get closer to you
When you keep it all on mute
How will I know the right way to love you
Usually the Queen of figurin' out
Breaking down a man is no work out
But I have no clue
How to get through to you
I wanna hit you just to see if you cry
I keep knockin' on wood, hopin' there's a real boy inside
But you're not a man
You're just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
But you're not a man
I wish I could just turn you on
Put a battery in and make you talk
Even pull a string for you to say anything
But with you there is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch of broken parts
And I can't seem to find your heart
I'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
I'm such a fool
This one's outta my hands
I can't put you back together again
[Chorus]
Cause you're not a man
You're just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
But you're not a man
You're just a, a toy
Could you ever be a real, real boy
And understand
But you're not a man
If the past is the problem
Our future can solve them baby
I could bring you life if you let me inside baby
It'll hurt but in the end you'll be a man
[Chorus]
Cause you're not a man
You're just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
But you're not a man
<@#Katy_Perry_The_Girl_Next_Door.txt#@>
Got a call from my friend
She saw my picture again
In a magazine
We laughed out loud
'Cuz she said "remeber when...
This was all a silly dream?
Now I wake up every day
In a different city
A smile on my face
Somebody pinch me
She said "all the world's a satge"
But girl you know
Those cameras and lights
Won't ever change me
I don't drink champagne
When I'm back home with my friends
We sip on tea on the porch
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door
No fancy things when I come off tour
I slip back into my jeans
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door
It's amazin' to hear people singin' along
Hear the radio playin' my song
I still get butterflies
Still get nervous inside
In the spotlight
Now every now n then
On a friday night
Cruisin' down to the dive bar
We waste the night away
Spend saturday sleepin' in late
Those were the good days
I don't drink champagne
When I'm back home with my friends
We sip on tea on the porch
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door
No fancy things when I come off tour
I slip back into my jeans
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door
And even when I'm miles away
I'll always have the roots from where I came
Cuz when it all fades away
My home will still be the same
Yeah eh
Yeah...
I don't drink champagne
When I'm back home with my friends
We sip on tea on the porch
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door
No fancy things when I come off tour
I slip back into my jeans
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door

Can you tell me
Who called the race?
Can anyone stay in one place?
And when you get to the finish line
Will you wish for more time or say
One day
One day you will
But maybe one day you will find
That you just can't push rewind
All we have is this moment
Tomorrow's unspoken
Yesterday is history
So why don't you be here with me?
All we have is this moment
To put our love into motion
Yesterday is history
So why don't you be here with me?
Be here with me now
Do you ever think that
We're just chasing our tails?
Like life is one big fast treadmill
And we pop what is prescribed
If it gets us first prize but you know
Who I
Who I think will win
Are the ones that love loving
Are the ones that take the time
All we have is this moment
Tomorrow's unspoken
Yesterday is history
So why don't you be here with me?
All we have is this moment
To put our love into motion
Yesterday is history
So why don't you be here with me?

Everything comes around again
The circus returns to town again
Oh, no oh, yeah
Now you are at my door again
Crawling around my floor again, oh yeah
'Cause your love is gone and
Your all alone and you miss me
But you didn't miss me when
I was all alone your back 'cause you know
I can't help but love you
I can't help but kiss you
I can't help but let you in
I'm off to the slaughter and off to the lifehole
Right back to where we begin
Everything comes around again
What goes up will come down again
Oh, no oh, yes
Wearing your old white dress again
Making my head a mess again
'Cause your love is gone and
Your all alone and you miss me
But you didn't miss me when
I was all alone your back 'cause you know
I can't help but love you
I can't help but kiss you
I can't help but let you in
I'm off to the slaughter and off to the lifehole
Right back to where we begin

And your on your own
'Cause you missed me la la la la
You just press rewind we go back in time

<@#Keith_Green_Dear_John_Letter.txt#@>
Oh I used to love you
But now that's hard to do
'cause I got some information
'bout the evil things at night that you do
Now the whole thing is through (we're through)
Oh you're such a devil
How'd you get me to believe you were true
Oh my momma warned me
And how my daddy cried
The day I left my home
You said you'd always keep me satisfied
But oh how you lied (you lied)
Well I should have heard my momma's words
But then I guess I had to much pride (original sin)
First chorus
I used to lie awake at night
And see your face on the ceilin'
What a bad a feelin' I have
When I think of how you almost got me
In the ways of the world
In the ways of the world
My so-called friends said I misjudged you
My anger's all in vain
But I'm afraid you got to them
Before I had a chance to explain
And it caused me such pain (ouch!)
'cause they were such good friends of mine
But now you've got them playin' you game (you creep)
First chorus
Well I believe in jesus
And what he said he's gonna do
He'll put an apple in your lyin mouth
And cook you in a sulfer stew
One that'll never be through
(is it soup yet? no)
Ah, but if he hadn't rescued me
Then I'd be down there cookin' too
Oh if jesus hadn't rescued me
Then I'd be cookin' right next to you
Second chorus
I used to lie awake at night
And see your face on the ceilin'
What a great feelin' I have
When I think of how you're gonna get yours
At the end of the world
At the end of the world
Oh at the end of the world

Look out your window, see the earth.
Where did it come from, who gave it birth.
Where did it come from, where will it go, where will it go?
Don't you wish you had the answers, well, I know.
See how the rain falls, who made the sky?
It's never ending, and you wonder why.
Where did it come from, where will it go, where will it go?
Don't you wish you had the answers, well I know.
Just look out past the stars, look to the one who put them there.
He, he made them all, and he gave them to us to share.
Yes he made them all, and he's gonna take them all back someday.
Don't you just wonder, what lies ahead?
There's peace in knowing, what jesus said.
Where did you come from? where will you go, where will you go?
Don't you wish you had the answers?

Sometimes it's hard to see,
Sometimes it's hard to get through to me,
But i want to do all that you ask me to.
Help me to follow through,
Make every day a devotion to you,
Cause it's dust to dust, until we learn how to trust.
Sometimes i wander away,
And i'm lost in the dark, my faith starts to sway
I don't know what to do, so i cry out to you.
And i reach out in the air,
And i call out your name and you're always there,
Then you send down your light,
Then you tell me, walk by faith not by sight,
And then you come shining down.
I'm putting your armor on,
Finding myself so suddenly drawn,
Like a moth a flame, whenever you call my name.
Help me to follow through,
Make every day a devotion to you,
Cause it's dust to dust, until we learn how to trust.
Sometimes i wander away,

Thou has displayed thy splendor above the heavens.
Thou has established strength from mouths of infants,
To show all thine enemies.

For when I consider the heavens the work of thy fingers.
The moon and the sun which thou hast appointed.
For what is man, that thou dost take thought of him,
And the son of man, that thou doest care for him.
Hallelujah Lord our Lord,
Oh how I love you.
Hallelujah Lord our Lord,
Oh how I love you.
You've made man a little lower than all of the angels,
And crowned him with glory to rule over your creation.
And under his feet,
You've put the beasts of the field,
The birds of the heavens and what passes through the seas,

You know, I look around at the world and I see all the beauty that God made. I
see the forest and the trees and all the things. and says in the Bible that he
made them is six days and I don't kn
They're a literal six days or not. scientists would say no, some theologians
would say yes. but I know that jesus christ has been preparing a home for me
and for some of you, for two thousand years. and if the world took six days
and that home two thousand years, hey man, this is like living in a garbage
can compared to what's going on up there.
Seaside sunset, silver linings round the clouds,
Birds fly, singing, making such a joyful sound.
Thoughts of heaven somehow seem to fill my mind,
But I can't even imagine, what it is I'm gonna find.
I can't wait to get to heaven, when you'll wipe away all my fears.
In six days you created everything,
But you've been working on heaven two thousand years.
Deep green forests, mountains reaching for the sky,
Grasslands and deserts, your creation fills my eye.
Thank you, thank you jesus, though this beauty is just a taste,
Of all your glory I'll see when I pass through those gates.
I can't wait to get to heaven, when you'll wipe away all my fears.
In six days you created everything,
But you've been working on heaven two thousand years.
I can't wait to get to heaven, when you'll wipe away all my fears.
In six days you created all of the world,
But you've been working on heaven,
You've been working on heaven, holy spirit,
You've been working on heaven, two thousand years.

As each day passes by,
I feel my love run dry.
I get so weary, worn,
And tossed around in the storm.
Well I'm blind to others needs,
And I'm tired of planting seeds.
I seem to have a wealth,
Of so many thoughts about myself.
I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus.
I want to, I need to, be more like him.
Our fathers will was done,
By giving us his son,
Who paid the highest cost,
To point us to the cross.
And when I think of him,
Taking on the whole worlds sin,
I take one look at me,
Compared to what I'm called to be.
I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus.
I want to, I need to, be more like him.
Remember, there's no greater love,
Then to lay down your life for a friend.
The end of all my prayers,
Is to care like my lord cares.
My one and only goal,
His image in my soul.
Yes my weakness is revealed,
When by his stripes I'm healed.
Hes faithful and hes true,
To complete the work he begins in you.

<@#Keith_Green_To_Obey_Is_Better_Than_Sacrifice.txt#@>
To obey is better than sacrifice
I don't need your money
I want your life
And I hear you say that I'm coming back soon
But you act like I'll never return
Well you speak of grace and my love so sweet
How you thrive on milk, but reject My meat
And I can't help weeping of how it will be
If you keep on ignoring My words
Well you pray to prosper and succeed
But your flesh is something I just can't feed
To obey is better than sacrifice
I want more than Sunday and Wednesday nights
Cause if you can't come to Me every day
Then don't bother coming at all
La, la, la
To obey is better than sacrifice
I want hearts of fire
Not your prayers of ice
And I'm coming quickly
To give back to you
According to what you have done
According to what you have done
According to what you have done

Whoa!
Oh yeah yeah
I'm changing lanes and talkin' on the phone
Drivin' way too fast.
And the interstate's jammed with gunners like me
Afraid of comin' in last.
But somewhere in the race we run,
We're coming undone
[Chorus]
And days go by,
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by,
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by,
Oh and a woo-hoo
Out on the roof just the other night
I watched the world flash by,
Headlights, taillights,
Running through a river of neon signs.
But somewhere in the rush I felt,
We're losing ourselves
And days go by,
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by,
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now
Days go by,
Oh and a woo-hoo
Yeah the days go by
Oh and a woo-hoo
We think about tomorrow then it slips away.
Oh, yes, it does.
We talk about forever but we've only got today
And the days go by,
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window as the cars go by
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin',
You better start livin',
Better start livin' right now!
'Cause days go by,
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by,
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by,
Oh and a woo-hoo
Yeah these days go by
Oh and a woo-hoo
Oh!
So take 'em by the hand,
They're yours and mine.
Take 'em by the hand,
And live your life.
Take 'em by the hand,
Don't let 'em all fly by!
Come on, come on now,
Yeah!
Come on now!
Oh and a woo-hoo!
Don't you know the days go by

Friday seems so far away
The clock keeps ringin', I gotta get up out of bed
Maybe this could be the day
Motivation, well it keeps you holdin' on
Every step of the way
Headin' in the right direction when you think you're turnin' wrong
Lookin' out for when you stray
So hear what I say
There's no other way, you gotta

Hold onto your dreams
'Cause someday baby
Your ship is gonna come in, so
Hold onto your dreams
'Cause everything ya see
Comes true if you believe in holdin'
On to your dreams
Well I know sometimes it's hard to see the light
Shinin' at the tunnel's end
And though the road just goes on and on for miles
Faith lives just around the bend
So now and then, remember
Hold onto your dreams
'Cause someday baby
Your ship is gonna come in, so
Hold onto your dreams
And everything ya see
Comes true if you believe in holdin'
On to your dreams
Just like your eyes are the window to the soul
Dreams are the highway that lead to your goal
Hold on, hold on
You've got to hold on
Hold on

Hold onto your dreams
'Cause someday baby
Your ship is gonna come in, so

You're such a pretty little thing
I want to put a wedding ring on your finger
Baby can't you see that we were meant to be together
Yeah the joinin' of our hearts is written in the stars
We've got a love made in heaven
So baby take my hand I want to be your man forever
Well I can't think of anyone else it's true
All day long there's no one on my mind but you
And I have loved you since you were a little girl
You mean everything to me and you're all I'll ever need in this world

Every time I look into your eyes I see
The one I want beside me for eternity
You could make me the happiest man alive

Baby tryin' to figure you out, could make a man go insane
So just go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay

I never wanna be the one who kept you from being free
But girl I gotta know what you want, 'cause I've takin' all I can take
So just go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay
Every time you decide, to spread your wings and fly
You make the same mistake, and I can't take anymore goodbyes
So baby just go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay
Every time you decide, to spread your wings and fly
You make the same mistake, and I can't take anymore goodbyes
So baby just go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay

To kiss and tell, it's just not my style.
But the night is young, and it's been awhile and she broke my heart,
Broke it right in two, and it took some time but I'm feelin' like
I'm finally ready to find, find somebody new
[Chorus]
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna hold her tight
Maybe make a little magic in the moonlight
Don't wanna go too far just to take it slow
But I shouldn't be lonely in this big old world
I wanna kiss a girl
It's that moment when you start closin' in
First you're holding back, then surrenderin'
It can start a fire, light up the sky, such a simple thing.
Do you wanna try?
Are you ready to say good-bye to all these blues?
[Chorus]
'cause maybe tonight it could turn into the rest of our lives, oh yeah.
Are you ready? Are you ready, to cross that line, put your lips on mine?
(Put your lips on mine baby)
Do you wanna try?
Are you ready to say good-bye to all these blues?
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna hold her tight
Maybe make a little magic baby
Don't wanna go too far just to take it slow
But no one should be lonely, I shouldn't be lonely

<@#Keith_Urban_Shes_Gotta_Be.txt#@>
So much for never makin' the same mistake
I can't believe I'm here again
So much for ever thinkin' that I could change
My good intentions still remain in chains
[Chorus]
She's gotta be over me now
Probably moved on with her life
Found someone she knows she can believe
God I would give anything if I could just go back again
And be the man she needed me to be
I thought I was a hero
I played him well
He saves the day but not himself
I acted out the lover
My finest part
Had all the lines but not the heart
No look where we are
[Chorus]
Be the man that she could trust, who put her first
Who tamed his demons, who healed her hurts
In health and sickness, who helped her grow
With no resentment, true repentance, God as my witness
[Chorus: x2]
She needed me to be
She needed me to be, oh
Whoa, hallelujah
Yeah, I could be that man she needed me, she needed me to be

Somewhere tonight, there's somebody cryin'
And feelin' completely alone
Somewhere tonight, there's somebody tryin'
To find a way back home
Mmm-mm I don't know why
Mmm-mm but sometimes angels can't fly
How many times have you judged a stranger
Shakin' your head in shame
And wondered how could they fall so far
Well maybe they're not to blame
Mmm-mm I don't know why
Mmm-mm but sometimes angels can't fly
They've got their wings and they've got their will
There's blue sky all around
But sometimes it seems that we're destined to be
Forever on the ground
I don't know why, no
Look at us runnin' around in circles
Chasin' our peace of mind
Searchin' in vain for our wayward halos
That some of us never find
Mmm-mm I don't know why
Mmm-mm sometimes angels can't fly
Mmm and I don't know why
Mmm sometimes angels can't fly
Mmm

Out on the street corner
Just like every morning I sit here
And I watch you walk my way
And even though I don't know you
As you get closer I swear I feel
My heart start racing, aching
Maybe it's in my mind
And maybe I'm only dreaming
And I swear you catch my eye
As you walk on by
Oh why you gotta leave me so blue
[Chorus]
Baby why can't you see
That I'm the only one for you
You could search the world over
But you'll never find another so true
'Cause if you're looking for love
I'm standing right in front of you
(I'm standing right in front of you)
I bet your heart, like mine
Has been broken by someone
We never should have given it to (oh no)
So we put up a wall to keep from falling so hard
It's so sad
'Cause there's such good love inside
And I've been hoping that I might find
Someone who feels the same way
Someone to share my life
On this beautiful ride together
We could see it all through
[Chorus]
(Standing right in front of you)
So this morning I'm just going to walk up, and say hello to you
'Cause if given a choice between love and being alone
I know which one
I know which one I choose
And give me a chance
I'd be a better man for you (I believe I would)
And open your heart girl
Let me make your dreams come true
You can search the world over
But I can take it to the moon
'Cause if you're looking for love
I'm standing right in front of you (yes I am)
Standing right in front of you
(Standing right in front of you)
Open your eyes, (I'm standing right in front of you)
Just give me a chance baby

You know the cards are stacked against this
As we surrender our defenses
And I've torn down all my fences just for you
And you feel it too
What do we do
Do we run or see it through
The longer we're together
It just keeps gettin' better
And you hide your little love letters
Around the house for me
And it's plain to see
That you'll always be all I'll ever need
[Chorus]
The webs we spun
Wove into one
And left us tangled up in love
You squeeze my hand I understand
About a woman and a man
I love the way you make me feel
You got me tangled up in love
The webs we spun
Wove into one
Left us tangled up in love

<@#Keith_Urban_Wasted_Time.txt#@>
The rain is coming down tonight
I'm smiling looking at this photograph
I hear that song and I'm flying right back
To when we had it made
Every Friday night when the sun went down
We'd be running them streets like we owned the town
And I just can't let it go, no, I just can't let it go
I wonder if you ever think about it like I do
Seven kids on a two lane road
Had the guns on the radio
After all this time it still feels, feels so good
When I think about those summer nights
Singing out the window, on the back roads, Sweet Child of Mine
Sipping on the local's spark of light
Ain't it funny how the best days of my life
Was all that wasted time, all that wasted time
Out of nowhere, it slipped away
And the rope by the river hangs silently
And the town that we knew ain't nothing like it used to be
Ah, I can't explain
They took all the color from the picture frame
And the days got sold to the grid and the game
And I just can't let it go, no, I just can't let it go
I wonder if you ever think about it like I do
Seven kids on a two lane road
We had the guns on the radio
After all this time it still feels, feels so good
When I think about those summer nights
Singing out the window, on the back roads, Sweet Child of Mine
Sipping on the local's spark of light
Ain't it funny how the best days of my life
Was all that wasted time, all that wasted time
Swinging on the line
Living all that wasted time
Hey, hey, now
Summer dresses drying out on the hood of the car
Only music that we had was out the left speaker
We were living every second 'til the time ran out
We had nothing but we had it all
When I think about those summer night
Sneaking out the window, running back roads
Your hand in mine
We were going nowhere, we were so alive
Uh huh, ain't it crazy how the best days of my life
Was all that wasted time, all that wasted time
We were swinging out on the line
Living all that wasted time
Hey, you know oh
All that wasted time
Don't you feel it coming on back now
Time, time, time
<@#Keith_Urban_Whenever_I_Run.txt#@>
I've seen that darkness on the edge of town
The sun come up and the rain fall down
And I've been a fool, yeah I've been around
And when the world got too much for me
I took off and left a memory
Thinking I'd find something better for me somehow
Oh but now
[Chorus]
Whenever I run
Instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart
And there in your arms
Is where I find the love I need
And the best is yet to come
Baby you're the one I run to
I used to quit when it got too tough
Throw in my cards when I was down on my luck
But baby you mean too much to me
So now
[Chorus]
I never could stay in one place too long
I never could stand that still
Ah but you changed so much in me
And now I know I will
I'm gonna stay where the love is right
I'm so tired of being a bird in flight
Good love takes work
Ah but that's alright
That's alright
[Chorus]
Instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart
And there in your arms
That's where I find the love I need
And the best is yet to come
Baby you're the one I run to
The one I run to
The one I run to
<@#Keith_Urban_Yesterday.txt#@>
I remember as a kid wishin' I was seventeen
No more school, my own car.
Back then it was all a dream
Then came the day to say goodbye
To the room that was once mine
One last look at my old world then
I closed the door behind, to
[Chorus]
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday
Well thirty-five soon rolled around
And everything had changed
I could count friends on one hand and
The good times weren't the same
But finally I cam to understand why people say
Don't spend all your childhood wishin'
The best years away
[Chorus]
Now I'm longin' for the freedom
That I let slip away
I took it all for granted
Now it's gone like yesterday
[Chorus: x2]
Remembering all those years, yesterday
<@#Kelly_Clarkson_Behind_These_Hazel_Eyes.txt#@>
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable like nothing could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
[Chorus]
Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it
Can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright for once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
[Chorus]
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Just seeing you, it kills me now
Now I don't cry
On the outside, anymore!
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Kelly_Clarkson_Boy_Next_Door.txt#@>
Hello mister, how you're doing?
I didn't catch your name!
No I'm not from here,
I've just moved in, it's only been a few days.
No, I don't mind, that could be fine,
We could hang out some time, oh!
But I gotta run now, hope to see you soon!
Oh, oh!
Bridge:
Wake up in the morning, get that paper
Walking on the hallway heading forward,
And we pass by, and this is how
He doesn't know what he does to my heart!
Gotta catch him by the afternoon,
If I miss him I don't know what I do,
Yeah it might sound crazy, but it could be my baby!
Chorus:
I think I'm in love with the boy next door,
Don't ask if he feels that same way sure
I can tell by the way he turns to look at me,
I believe I fall in for the boy next door!
Yeah!
The boy next door, oh yeah!
I check the man everyday
But about the same time I know he's there!
So I can catch a quick glimpse of his smile!
Make it seem as a coincidence,
I know I can see right through my eyes that I'm falling for him
And that's no lie, no, no!
Bridge:
Wake up in the morning, get that paper
Walking on the hallway heading forward,
And we pass by, and this is how
He doesn't know what he does to my heart!
Gotta catch him by the afternoon,
If I miss him I don't know what I do,
Yeah it might sound crazy, but it could be my baby!
Chorus:
I think I'm in love with the boy next door,
Don't ask if he feels that same way sure
I can tell by the way he turns to look at me
I believe I fall in for the boy next door!
Yeah!
The boy next door, oh yeah!
I get butterflies when he's around,
And I can't help to wonder if he knows!
But when I feel my... Sweaty,
... Says let's go I'm ready,
Can't remember having a crush like this before!
Chorus: (x2)
I think I'm in love with the boy next door,
Don't ask if he feels that same way sure
I can tell by the way he turns to look at me
I believe I fall in for the boy next door!
Yeah!
The boy next door, oh yeah

What gets me through this
What makes it worth it is the hope for a better day
What you don't notice
What you lost focus on is I'm not the type to break
Eight years of eggshell calloused feet
Nine lives spent working on this dream
Six feet under but breathin'
One drink to celebrate my pain
Three drinks and I'm brand new again
One voice is all it takes and I won't stop
I take the hit, I feel the sting of another loss
But while I gleam I keep on trying 'cause it's just a matter of time
I see the light, even if it's mine I won't back down
I'm gonna show you 'til you see me, 'til you recognize this fire
What I am chasing
What I have faith in is that chance to test my wings
What you don't know is
What you lost focus on is I'm not goin' away
Eight years of sittin' on the bench
Nine lives spent tangled in your web
Six feet under but breathin'
One drink to celebrate my pain
Three drinks and I'm brand new again
One voice is all it takes and I won't stop
I take the hit, I feel the sting of another loss
But while I gleam I keep on trying 'cause it's just a matter of time
I see the light, even if it's mine I won't back down
I'm gonna show you 'til you see me, 'til you recognize this fire
So you keep on pushing and I keep on fighting
You try and break me as I break the silence
Picking myself off the ground, it stings
Trading comfort, souls for dreams
Is it what we're made to be?
Trying so hard to make you see
I don't need your hand, I got my own
There is no fear because it's gone
I'm not gonna cry no more
I'm gonna stand up like I've always done
Eight years of eggshell calloused feet
Nine lives spent working on this dream
Six feet under but breathin'
I take the hit, I feel the sting of another loss
But while I gleam I keep on trying 'cause it's just a matter of time
I see the light, even if it's mine I won't back down
I'm gonna show you 'til you see me, 'til you recognize this fire
So you keep on pushing and I keep on fighting
You try and break me as I break the silence
You keep on pushing and I keep on fighting
You try and break me as I break the silence
<@#Kelly_Clarkson_Dark_Side.txt#@>
There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away
Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Like a diamond
From black dust
It's hard to know
It can become
If you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Will you love me? Ohh
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Hot temper with the shortest fuse
You're such a mess with an attitude

You never talk 'cause you don't have to
You got a job but you hate the man
Who takes it all like Uncle Sam
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
Out of gas so you walk for miles
To pick me up in your worn out shoes
You never settle or never take too much
You count on me just like I count on you
Kiss me like when I first saw you
Figured out couldn't be without you
You you you you you you you

<@#Kelly_Clarkson_Lost.txt#@>
I think you've touched my hand
Or maybe hurt me again
What did you say that made me blush
I think you laughed at me
First dates are always fun
I think that when I fell in love
First kiss first moment that I knew
First time you said I love you
First day I started to forget
I still have all your pictures
Sometimes I do remember
You come and go like all the rest
It's been so long since I left
I can't remember my way back
I'm so lost, I'm so lost
No where to go walkin' alone
Without your love I have no home
I'm so lost, I'm so lost
Sometimes I get a glance of
You and me and we're dancin'
As if things they never change
You hold me closer to you
I watch you fade and soon you
You just, you slip away
Cause, It's been so long since I left
I can't remember my way back
I'm so lost, I'm so lost
No where to go walkin' alone
Without your love I have no home
I'm so lost, I'm so lost
(Ahh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Ahh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Ahh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhhh)
It's been so long since I left
I can't remember my way back
I'm so lost, I'm so lost
No where to go walkin' alone
Without your love I have no home
I'm so lost, I'm so lost
Cause, it's been so long since I left
I can't remember my way back
I'm so lost, I'm so lost
No where to go walkin' alone
Without your love I have no home
I'm so lost, I'm so lost

Lately I just don't... Everything
But some secrets I meant to keep
So rest and sure that I ain't listening
I keep my head down so I can't see anything
What I don't know can't hurt
Chorus
Cause you are my escape from everything
In this place be my holiday
Love it and...
You are my escape
You are my escape
... Just like the movie
Some say that ignorance is best
Well I am the one to disagree
If there ain't love...
Lately I just don't... Everything
But some secrets I meant to keep
So rest and sure that I ain't listening
Close the door and keep on continuing
But I what I don't know can't hurt
Cause you are my escape from everything
... Everything
I am in this place... Love it...
You are my escape oh nu
You are my escape
Let's keep it just like the movie
You are like a good book I get lost in
The perfect place to run and hide away
Don't wanna pressure you to the next chapter
Cause I don't know how it ends
Chorus
Cause you are my escape from everything
In this place be my holiday
Love it and...
You are my escape
You are my escape
Let's keep it just like the movie

I hope the ring you gave to her
Turns her finger green
I hope when you're in bed with her
You think of me
I would never wish bad things
But I don't wish you well
Could you tell
By the flames that burned your words
I never read your letter
'Cause I knew what you'd say
Give me that Sunday school answer
Try make it all OK
[Chorus:]
Does it hurt
To know I'll never be there
But it sucks
To see my face everywhere
It was you
Who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew
Exactly what you would do
And don't say
You simply lost your way
She may believe you
But I never will
Never again
If she really knows the truth
She deserves you
A trophy wife, oh, how cute
Ignorance is bliss
But when your day comes
And he's through with you
And he'll be through with you
You'll die together, but alone
You wrote me in a letter
You couldn't say it right to my face
Well, give me that Sunday school answer
Repent yourself away
[Chorus]
Never again will I hear you
Never again will I miss you
Never again will I fall to you
Never
Never again will I kiss you
Never again will I want to
Never again will I love you
Never
Does it hurt
To know I'll never be there
But it sucks
To see my face everywhere
It was you
Who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew
Exactly what you would do
And don't say
You simply lost your way
They may believe you
But I never will
I never will
I never will
Never again

Everybody says you're no good for me
Nothin' but trouble is what you bring
Everybody thinks you're out to get me
Helpless little fool they must think I am
Everybody thinks that we're both crazy
Well it's just my luck
[Chorus:]
Is anybody out there
I'm standing here all alone
And I.. I just don't know
Is anybody this weird
Will someone ever get my twisted thoughts
My ways
I guess not today
Everybody says I'm no good for you
Nothin' but trouble is what I bring
Everybody thinks I'm out to get you
Well it's just my luck
[Chorus:]
Is anybody out there
I'm standing here all alone
And I.. I just don't know
Is anybody this weird
Will someone ever get my twisted heart
My ways
I guess not today
You look like a mess
I'd like to know
How 'bout movin' just a little closer
I think maybe one day I..
I could love you
[Chorus:]
Is anybody out there
I'm standing here all alone
And I.. I just don't know
Is anybody this weird
Will someone ever get my twisted thoughts
My ways
I guess not today
Not today
I guess not.. Today
Not today
Not today

[Intro]
And all I remember is your back
Walking towards the airport leaving us all in your past
I traveled 1,500 miles to see you
Begged you to want me
But you didn't want to
[Chorus]
But piece by piece you collected me
Up off the ground but you abandoned things
And piece by piece you filled the holes that you burned in me
At six years old and no
He never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
He loves me
Piece by piece
He restored my faith
That a man can be kind
And a father could stay
[Verse 1]
And all of your words fall flat
I made something of myself and now you wanna come back
But your love isn't free
It has to be earned
Back then I didn't have anything you needed
So, I was worthless
[Chorus]
But piece by piece you collected me
Up off the ground but you abandoned things
And piece by piece you filled the holes that you burned in me
At six years old and no
He never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
He loves me
Piece by piece
He restored my faith
That a man can be kind
And a father could stay
[Hook]
Piece by piece...
[Verse 2]
Piece by piece I fell far from the tree
I would never leave her like you left me
She will never have to wonder her worth
Because unlike you I'm gonna put her first
He'll never walk away
He'll never break her heart
He'll take care of things
He'll love her
Piece by piece
He restored my faith
That a man can be kind
And a father should be great
[Hook]
Piece by piece...
Piece by piece...

You've got your mother and your brother
Every other undercover
Tellin' you what to say
You think I'm stupid
But the truth is
That it's cupid, baby
Lovin' you has made me this way
So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger
Oh yeah
You need to know this situation's getting old
And now the more you talk
The less I can say, oh
[Chorus]
I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away
I waited here for you
Like a kid waiting after school
So tell me how come you never showed?
I gave you everything
And never asked for anything
And look at me
I'm all alone
So, before you start defendin'
Baby, stop all your pretendin'
I know you know I know
So what's the point in being slow?
Let's get the show on the road today
Hey
[Chorus]
I want to love
I want a fire
To feel the burn
My desires
I want to man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me?
Die for me?
Live and breathe for me?
Do you care for me?
'Cause if you don't, then just leave
I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
If you don't have the answer
Walk away
Just walk away
Then just leave
Yeah, yeah
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

Face to face, but miles away
Building trenches out of empty spaces
Lay here, next to me
And close the distance in between
I'll take off yours if you take off mine
Reveal the things that we're tryna hide
Take off yours if you take off mine
Take off mine
[Chorus]
Cause we could be beautiful with our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line?
When we both know that we're here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake
Of our war paint
[Verse 2]
Scar to scar, I wanna know
Every story that you never told
Don't shut me out, don't think too much
Don't keep that barricade up
I'll take off yours if you take off mine
Reveal the things that we're tryna hide
Take off yours if you take off mine
Take off mine
[Chorus]
Cause we could be beautiful with our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line?
When we both know that we're here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake
Of our war paint
[Bridge]
So hold me close and kiss my skin
Don't be afraid, let me in
I'll hold you close and take your hand
To my heart, here I am

Cause we could be beautiful with our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line?
When we both know that we're here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake
Of our war paint
Cause we could be beautiful with our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line?

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind
But now
I see
I see
I see
Through many dangers
Toils and snares I have already come
't Is grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
Me home
't Was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believe
Believe
When we've been there
Ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've now less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
Begun
Begun, begun

Yes I'll be here where I belong
And I'll be here where I'm strong
Never to go
Never to leave you all alone
The love I found I won't let go
With space and time it will grow
Searching the heart for treasures
I know now that I have
I'm by myself but not alone
I have a family and a home
I'm by myself but not alone
I have my family and a home
The road was long but I was strong
And through the storms I carried on

Yes I'll be here where I belong
And I'll be here where I'm strong
Never to go
Never to leave you all alone

I'm waiting for my visit
They'll fill this room with flowers an' all
They'll put on their biggest smile
But only for a while
If only I could help it
If only mercy'd be on my side
I wouldn't have to die
And my family wouldn't cry
But the pain is getting far to strong
And the medicine won't hold for long
It's getting closer
So I'm waiting for someone to come
To come and take my soul where it belongs
But no one's coming no one
So I'm calling heaven now
I'm calling heaven now
Calling heaven's hand
So heaven help
I try to find the aswer
I try to find a reason why I
I'm leaving them all behind
But there's something I will find
The blood's still running through my heart
But my hairs are slowly falling apart
And I just can't take it
So I'm waiting for someone to come
To come and take my soul where it belongs
But no one's coming, no one
So I'm calling heaven now
I'm calling heaven now
Calling heaven's hand
So heaven help
Yes I'm calling heaven...
I see it in their faces
They know I'll be leaving tonight
But somewhere down the line
I'm sure we'll meet again
Somewhere down the line
I'm sure we'll meet again

Today for the first time
For the first time
You took my hand
Today for the first time
Touched a warm heart
What a lucky girl
Cause you opened your heart
And you gave it to me
So don't tell me that you don't love me
You opened your heart
And you gave it to me
So don't tell me that you don't need me
For me for me
you're the one you're the world
Someone is anyone there
My body needs warmth
It?s a mad mad world
Today for the first time
I heard my heart stop
As he flew away
Open your heart
And give it to me
And don't tell me that you don't love me
Open your heart
And give it to me
And don't tell me that you don't need me
Sometimes I just fall and break
Sometimes it just overflows
I can't take no more
I can't take no more no more
Open your heart ?
Tonight for the first time
All the stars shine
But you're the brightest one
My love
<@#Kelly_Family_Nanana.txt#@>
In this grey world where nobody sings
I saw the face of a human doll
Her eyes were glass and her hair was gold
From her sweet soft lips
You could hear that song go
Nanana nana, nanana nana, ...
In a place where hell is around the corner
I touched her hand it was baby sweet
She kissed me there
I could feel the song going down my throat
She was singing to me
Nanana nana, nanana nana, ...
My daddy said if you want to live
You better not touch this is not a toy
The truth is boy I'm a bloody fool
I left the one I loved behind, singing
Nanana nana, nanana nana, ...
Tell me what it is that brings me back to you
Tell me what it is I can't stop loving you
Tell me what it is that brings me back to you
Tell me what it is I can't stop loving you
Nanana nana, nanana nana, ...
So take me back to the land of yours
Where the black swan loves the one I lost
My generation sings with the radio on
The melody of the human doll
Nanana nana, nanana nana, ...

Hungry for the love
My heart needs to find
But I've learned now
You have to want to
Find yourself inside

Cause it hurts to love sometimes
Oh it hurts to love someone
Yes it hurts to lose sometimes
Oh it hurts to lose someone
So many hearts are broken
So unnecessary
And I'm afraid to fail
Again and again
I keep on searchingand I keep on fighting baby
To learn to love myself like a child

I'm gonna scram my pain out loud
I'm gonna run
I'm gonna free myself and fly
Just like a baby birds first flight
I will fall
But I'll pick myself up and head to the sky

If I was a star

I'd shine my love to you
It's not the words you say
Neither the way they're said
And it's not the things you do
That make me want to fly
Oh baby
When a star falls from heaven
Don't ask me why
When a star falls from heaven
It just makes me cry
When stars fall from heaven
I don't know why
When stars fall from heaven
Gonna see me cry
It's cold outside
It's dar out here
You're far and I'm alone
The stars shine bright
As the tears roll down
My burning cheeks as I cry
It's not the words you say
Neither the way they're said
And it's not the things you do
That make me want to fly
Oh baby
When stars fall ...

Why, why, why, why, why, why
Running down the highway
As fast as you can
You throw a tin can and you say
Why, why, why, why, why, why
Tell me why tell me why
Tell me why do you destroy
And you try and you try

My knees are on the floor

Slices your head and you say why

Promised you heaven
But put you through hell
Why why why why why why
Tell me why...
<@#Kenny_Chesney_Always_Gonna_Be_You.txt#@>
I could jump on some ol' highway
Run a thousand miles or more
Unlock some hidden mystery
Behind a distant door
I could sail the seven oceans
Til I crawl upon some long forgotten shore
But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you I'm lookin' for
I could climb a hundred mountains
Leave a hard ol' world behind
Wander right across some prairie
Like a man out of his mind
I could walk and stare into the sun
Let it all just burn me deaf and blind
But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you I'm tryin' to find
Where does a man go for redemption
Where does he take a broken heart
Shouldn't there be some small exemption
If he does all that it takes
To admit to his mistakes
Til the truth batters and breaks his world apart
I could ask for my forgiveness
From the heavens high above
Tell myself my prayers are gonna somehow be enough
And lay down in some angels bed
Convinced I've found the one I'm dreamin' of
But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you that I love.
Where does a man seek his salvation
When does his mind finally go free
Is the pain he feels the only explanation
For believing lies are true
For the stone inside his shoe
The endless ways that you keep haunting me
I could find an empty church
Get down on my knees
Tell myself the mercy
Is a matter of degrees
Then lay down in some angel's arms
Convinced I've found the one I'm dreamin' of
But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you that I love
Always gonna be you that I love
That I love
<@#Kenny_Chesney_Better_As_A_Memory.txt#@>
I move on like a sinner's prayer
Letting go like a levee breaks
Walk away as if I don't care
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
I'm built to fade like your favorite song
I get reckless when there's no need
Laugh as your stories ramble on
Break my heart but it won't bleed
My only friends are pirates, it's just who I am
I'm better as a memory than as your man
I'm never sure when the truth won't do
I'm pretty good on a lonely night
I move on the way a storm blows through
I never stay, but then again, I might
I struggle sometimes to find the words
Always sure until I doubt
Walk a line until it blurs
Build the walls too high to climb out
I'm honest to a fault, it's just who I am
I'm better as a memory than as your man
I see you lean in, you're bound to fall
I don't wanna be that mistake
I'm just a dreamer, nothing more
You should know it before it gets too late
'Cause good-bye's are like a roulette wheel
You never know where they're gonna land
First you're spinning, then you're standing still
Left holding a losing hand
One day you're gonna find someone
Right away, you'll know it's true
That all of your seeking's done
Was just a part of the passing through
Right there in that moment
You'll finally understand
That I was better as a memory than as your man
Better as a memory than as your man
<@#Kenny_Chesney_Hemingways_Whiskey.txt#@>
Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
He didn't like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
If it was bad enough for him, you know it's bad enough for me
Hemingway's whiskey
Ah, it's tough out there, a good muse is hard to find
Living one word to the next, one line at a time
There's more to life than whiskey, there's more to words than rhyme
Sometimes nothing works, sometimes nothing shines
Like Hemingway's whiskey
Sail away, sail away, three sheets to the wind
Live hard, die hard, this one's for him
Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
He didn't like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
If it was bad enough for him, you know it's bad enough for me
Hemingway's whiskey
Hemingway's whiskey

<@#Kenny_Chesney_Honey_Would_You_Stand_By_Me.txt#@>
If I quit my job for the simple life
Honey would you stand by me
If I bought a little cabin on a mountainside
Honey would you stand by me
Would you be my one true friend
Stick with me through thick and thin
If the roof was old and the rain came in
Honey would you stand by me
If I tried my luck in Hollywood
Honey would you stand by me
If my break never came like I thought it would
Honey would you stand by me
Would you be my heart of gold
And never complain when the money was low
If your coat was thin and your shoes were old
Honey would you stand by me
And if I joined up with the rodeo
Honey would you stand by me
If we traveled around from show to show
Honey would you stand by me
Would you be a cowboy's dream
And smile right on when times got lean
If you didn't have nothin' but boots and jeans
Honey would you stand by me
Honey would you stand
Honey would you stand by me
Honey would you stand
Honey would you stand by me
Honey would you stand
Honey would you stand by me
<@#Kenny_Chesney_If_This_Bus_Could_Talk.txt#@>
He was there when I started,
In Knoxville Tennessee
Hope none for patty and loveless,
November of ninety-three
Full of friends, mom, and uncle Butch
And the crowd was really small
He'd say I was a scared kid,
If this bus could talk
Some nights we'd dance with the devil
Some nights we'd pray to the Lord
Between vibrant passes and margarita glasses
He was never really bored
We were starry eyed dreamers,
Bouncing off the wall
And all the stories he could tell,
If this bus could talk
He'd sing of pool halls in Texas
And have a corn dog in county fair
Girls that we made cry,
Some crowds that didn't care
And Bobby road us down in Bama
He kept rocking through it all
All the stories he could tell,
If this bus could talk
Late night conversations,
Full of drunk philosophy
On politics and religion, football and family
The lovers that we missed,
And the lovers that we lost
All the secrets he could share
If this bus could talk
He'd seen Virginia Beach,
Caught in a hurricane
He roads I wish I never met
But he ain't naming names
We learned the code of the road at the grizzly roads
When we had a bone
All the stories he could serve
If this bus could talk
Many years of summers,
And I hope it never ends
Been down so many highways,
Full of twists and turns and bends
We caught lightning in a bottle,
Somehow we survived it all
All the stories he could tell,
If this bus could talk
As I leave the stage,
Still high from your applause
He'd tell you that I love you,
If this bus could talk
If this bus could talk,
If this bus could talk
If this bus could talk
<@#Kenny_Chesney_Life_Is_Good.txt#@>
Darlin' if you think back
To the heartbroken past
Before we found each other
It's so amazing, it's almost crazy
What a difference lookin' through the eyes of love
Life is good, the grass is green
The good Lord smilin' on you and me
Gonna knock on wood
Sweet sunshine everywhere I look
You love me like no one could
Life is good
People stop me on the street, thinkin' I'm the old me
Talkin' about the bad old days
But ever since you came along
Them old blues are long gone
I break into a grin and all I can say is
Life is good, the grass is green
The good Lord smilin' on you and me
Gonna knock on wood
Sweet sunshine everywhere I look
You love me like no one could
Life is good
Someday girl, this old world will try to beat you up
Let em bring it on, cause every time we touch
Life is good, the grass is green
The good Lord smilin' on you and me
Gonna knock on wood
Sweet sunshine everywhere I look
You love me like no one could
Life is good
Life is good, the grass is green
The good Lord smilin' on you and me
Gonna knock on wood
Sweet sunshine everywhere I look
You love me like no one could
Life is good
Life is good
<@#Kenny_Chesney_O_Little_Town_Of_Bethlehem.txt#@>
Oh, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the Angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
Oh, morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
Oh, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
<@#Kenny_Chesney_Pirate_Flag.txt#@>
Well I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town,
Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around.
Moonshine, that's where they make it,
Put it in a jug, make you wanna get naked.
But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night
And took it all the way to the end of the line.
Stepped down in the sun, with my feet hit the sand
What a long strange trip
I spent my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl
Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind
Take a sip of rum and you really would know why
Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able
Don't know what makes you say "What the hell"
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
Something 'bout her makes you just wanna dance
And she loves to dance
I spent my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl
Pirate flag and an island girl
I remember back home 'neath the big ol' moon
Tucked back in the woods, yea life was good
But here we are in a lofty barn drinkin' shootin' stars
I might spend my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
<@#Kenny_Chesney_Save_It_For_A_Rainy_Day.txt#@>
It's no secret that lately there ain't no escape
And that I've been waking up alone
Just me and the tv and a sinking feeling
That you ain't ever coming home
But today,
The tears ain't gonna hit the floor
Cause the boat's in the bay
And it's calling my name
So I'm heading on out the door
Cause the sun's too bright,
The sky's too blue
Beer's too cold to be thinking about you
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
Save it for a rainy day
When I turned the ignition
I knew I'd be missing
The feel of the wind on my face
I was stuck in a habit
Wondering what happened
Two days of taking all the blame
Got a drink, or two,
That's as fool proof as what it will be
It's a beautiful world with a beautiful girl
Kind of making eyes at me
Cause the sun's too bright,
The sky's too blue
Beer's too cold to be thinking about you
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
Save it for a rainy day
Yeah, the music's too good,
My friends are all out
And they're all too high to be bringing them down
If they ask about you
I've got nothing to say
I'll save it for a rainy day
They'll be plenty of time for ones and why's
And how'd I let you get away
But the lying in bed all stuck in my head
Is just gonna have to wait
Cause the sun's too bright,
The sky's too blue
Beer's too cold to be thinking about you
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
Save it for a rainy day
Yeah, the music's too good,
My friends are all out
And they're all too high to be bringing them down
If they ask about you
I've got nothing to say
I'll save it for a rainy day
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
<@#Kenny_Chesney_Someone_Elses_Hog.txt#@>
Well I got a little girl and she's got a daddy
Who's got a lotta money and it makes me happy
To follow them around like a little whipped puppy dog
Well she's my honey but he's my sugar dad
This country boy ain't doin' too bad
Livin' high on someone else's hog
Well, I'm livin' high on someone else's hog
I sit around all day like a twenty-four karat
Bump on a golden log
Well I traded that rusty ol' GMC
Gotta long black Cadillac limousine
I'm a livin' high on someone else's hog
Well this redneck boy from a blue-collar town
Has really moved up since he got tied down
I got a brand new life and I owe it to my daddy-in-law
Well he gave me a so-called executive position
Now I get up early every day and go fishin'
I'm a livin' high on someone else's hog
Well, I'm livin' high on someone else's hog
I sit around all day like a twenty-four karat
Bump on a golden log
Well I traded that rusty ol' GMC

I'm a livin' high on someone else's hog
Well, I'm livin' high on someone else's hog

Up in the morning
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
Lucky old sun
Aint got nothing to do
Roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman
Toil for my kids
Sweat til I am wrinkled and grey
But that lucky old sun
Aint got nothin to do
Roll around heaven all day
Dear lord above
Can't you see I'm cryin
Tears are in my eyes
Send down a cloud with a silver lining
Take me to paradise
Show me that river
Lead me across
And take all my troubles away
Like the lucky old sun
I'll have nothin to do
Roll around heaven all day
Dear lord above
Can't you see I'm cryin
Tears are in my eyes
Send down a cloud with a silver lining
Take me to paradise
Show me that river

And take all my troubles away

I'll have nothin to do
Roll around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day...

Got nowhere to go and how am I to get there
But I'm goin' there with you
Tonight we're runnin' on luck
If we're gonna use it all there's only one thing left to do
(Chorus)
Gonna take a deep breath, hold it in
Twirl you around till my head spins
Kiss that lipstick till it's left thin
Till it's gone, till it's gone
Break every rule we eva learned
Kick back and watch the big wheels turn
Light up the night and let it burn till it's gone
Till it's gone, till it's gone...
(Verse 2)
You look way 2 good and this feels way 2 right
It's been way 2 long to start
But it's sure worth drinkin' to, so baby here's to you
I don't wanna waste a drop
(Chorus)
Gonna take a deep breath, hold it in
Twirl you around till my head spins
Kiss that lipstick till it's left thin
Till it's gone, till it's gone
Break every rule we eva learned
Kick back and watch the big wheels turn
Light up the night and let it burn till it's gone
Till it's gone, till it's gone...
(Instrumental break)
(Bridge)
One life, one chance!
One ticket to the big dance!
You and me still holdin' on
Ride it down to the last song

Gonna take a deep breath, hold it in
Twirl you around till my head spins
Kiss that lipstick till it's left thin
Till it's gone, till it's gone
Break every rule we eva learned
Kick back and watch the big wheels turn
Light up the night and let it burn till it's gone
Till it's gone, till it's gone...

I'm gonna drink it all up
Till it's gone, then it's gone, it is gone
<@#Kenny_Chesney_Turn_For_The_Worst.txt#@>
There's a fork in the road
On my way home
Temptation waits
Wine, women, and song
Lord my will breaks
Where that road bends
And tonight I took a turn for the worse again
Left was home
Right was wrong
You can bet by now she knows
Which road I'm on
It's a road I know
Like the back of my hand
But tonight I took a turn for the worse again
My old truck
Pulls a little to the right
Seems to get a lot worse
On Friday nite
Things are bad at home
Lord I'm sick of work
So tonight I took a turn for the worse
Left was home
Right was wrong
You can bet by now she knows
Which road I'm on
It's a road I know
Like the back of my hand
But tonight I took a turn for the worse again
Lord tonight I took a turn
For the worse again
<@#Kenny_Chesney_Turn_Out_The_Light_And,_Love_Me_Tonight.txt#@>
Well I've been lonesome
I've been empty
I got an aching
Way deep down inside
And I need someone
Someone to hold me
Pull down the shade, turn out the light and love me tonight
[Chorus:]
Don't think about tomorrow
It don't matter anymore
We can turn the key and lock the world outside the door
I need you so now
Come on let go now
Kick off your shoes, turn out the light and love me tonight
Well don't you worry
We're all alone now
So let your hair down
Come sit by my side
And turn off the TV
Put on some music
Pull down the shade, turn out the light and love me tonight
[Chorus:]
I need you so now
Come on let go now
Pull down the shade, turn out the light and love me tonight
<@#Kenny_Chesney_When_She_Calls_Me_Baby.txt#@>
She'll call me honey, when she needs a helpin' hand,
She might say darlin' if she needs someone who understands.
She'll call me sugar, if she's feelin' kind of sweet,
She'll say that I'm crazy over my little jealousy.
But when she calls me baby, I just reach for the light,
And I'll hold her like a lady, thank God she's all mine.
With her arms around me, I can't leave the world behind.
When she calls me baby, well, I know what's on her mind.
When this life has brought me to my knees,
She's got a way of bring out the man in me.
When she calls me baby, I just reach for the light,
And I'll hold her like a lady, thank God she's all mine.
With her arms around me, I can't leave the world behind.
When she calls me baby, well, I know what's on her mind.
Oh, when she calls me baby, well, I know what's on her mind.
<@#Kenny_Loggins_All_Alone_Tonight.txt#@>
Day is done and night is calling
From the window light is falling
Shadows spinning on the walls
And dancing in the light
And 'round the door the kids are playing
Like June bugs into the light
And it seems like I'm looking at a mighty good time
All alone tonight
Hands a-clapping, voices singing
Tambourines and guitars ringing
Echoes through the willows
Bringing music to the night
And in the wind the whippoorwill's crying
Cold and all alone
And I am standing outside of a mighty good time
All alone tonight
Well, I can't recall when Louisiana music
Ever sounded so sweet
Just listen to the fiddle playing
'Bonaparte's Retreat'
Well, I just can't take no more
I gotta make it through that door
And dance until the break of day
As long as there's still music playing
Bet your life, I won't be staying all alone tonight
Well, I just can't take no more
I gotta make it through that door
And dance until the break of day
As long as there's still music playing
Bet your life, I won't be staying all alone tonight

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared

Ever just the same
Ever a suprise
Ever just as sure
Ever as before
As the sun will rise
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as ryhme

Busy dancin' across thin ice
Then lookin' up
I thought somebody called my name
But I kept on walkin' on down
On my own way
I was livin' but not enough
Turnin' my face
From the face of love
Then lookin' up
I'm certain I saw your eyes
And I don't know how
And I don't know why
But I know I'm home

I am not hiding
This time I'm deciding
Now I'm showin' up
To give it all my love

Now I'm standing here
Shoutin' out to heaven

I was starvin' for a dream
And the dream was you
Then lookin' up
Big love was pourin' down
'N I don't know how
'N I don't know why
But I know I'm home

Showin' up in your eyes
This is all I know
No more sad goodbyes
Kiss it all hello

Strong enough to see the truth
You gotta go in

What you thinkin' of?
Darlin', you've been with me every day
But you seem so far away, I know
No, it's never enough
To smile and say there's something on your mind
If you doubt my love
Know that it's here all the time
If that's not what you're lookin' for
If it's not what you need to know
And if there is somethin' more
Girl, I'll give you anything you want
Girl it's been so right
Nobody could ever love you more
I've never been more sure
Where in the middle of the night
I hold you near
And take your heart in my arms
Swearin' all my love
That's something you've known from the start
If that's not what you're lookin' for
If it's not what you need to know
And if there is somethin' more
I'll give you anything you want
If that's not what you're lookin' for
If it's not what you need to know
Know that you're free to go
Just be sure that what you want
Is not what you got
Hold me, oh, hold me tonight
Forever, here, my love
So you'll never fly away
Gotta work it out
I'm tryin' to hold on to our romance
We've only got one more chance I know
So tell me what it's all about
Oh, darlin', if there's still a way to your heart
I'll use all my love to keep us from fallin' apart
If that's not what you're lookin' for
If it's not what you need to know
And if there is somethin' more
I'll give you everything you want
If that's not what you're lookin' for
If it's not what you need to know
Know that you're free to go
Just be sure that what you want
Is not what you got
<@#Kenny_Loggins_Its_About_Time.txt#@>
I shed my skin
And set aside this self-made darkness
'n walk on into the light
I'm sick of this prison
I been calling my life
I finally found out the gates of hell are locked from the inside
Just like Moses
Headed for the Promised Land
We don't get to know where we're goin'
We only know where we've been
Hope
Whenever you gotta start, ya start
Faith
Whatever you gotta leave, you leave
Life
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
Love
Sometimes you're gonna take the next best thing
Joy
Whatever you want to start, ya start
Time
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
Trust
Sometimes you gotta scream
If it's about joy
If it's about life
If it's about love
It's about time we get started
If it's about trust
If it's about hope
If it's about us
It's about time we get started
We don't get forever
We just get now or never
To make the best or the worst of the time that we got
There's power in this groove
And I surrender to the river
It's takin' me to
I'll learn to swim
I'm getting in
I'm getting wet
I may be drownin'
But I ain't dead yet
Hope
Whenever you gotta start, ya start
Faith
Whatever you gotta leave, you leave
Life
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
Love
Sometimes you're gonna take the next best thing
Joy
Whatever you want to start, ya start
Time
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
Trust
Sometimes you gotta scream
If it's about joy
If it's about life
If it's about love
It's about time we get started
If it's about trust
If it's about hope
If it's about us
It's about time we get started
Oh baby
It's all right
You only gotta face yourself
To make it to the other side
Oh baby you don't know what you'll find
'Till you tear down those walls
And make up your mind
If it's about joy
If it's about life
If it's about love
It's about time we get started
If it's about trust
If it's about hope
If it's about us
It's about time we get started
I been tryin'
Prayin' cryin
Lord, what's it gonna take
Step by step you go on
Knowin' that you hold on
It's just about time
<@#Kenny_Loggins_Ive_Got_The_Melody.txt#@>
You've got the music in your heart,
I know just how to make it start.
You know the song that makes me sing,
You know the tune, so play my strings.
'cause I've got the melody deep in my heart,
I could sing it alone, but I'd rather not.
You've got the harmony deep in your soul,
If we sing it together, our love will hold.
It sounds just like a symphony,
Something composed by you and me.
I hear the music that we make,
The sound of love is what it takes.
To coax out a melody straight from our hearts,
Let us sing it together, don't ever stop.
Let's add the harmony straight from our souls,
'cause if we sing together now,
We sing together now,
We sing, we sing.

<@#Kenny_Loggins_Lady_Luck.txt#@>
Seven-eleven he rolled
And all his life was a golden gamble
You'd see him reeling it in when the odds were high
Something supernatural, a charlatan, a mastermind
Or some lucky lady's design
Oh, what the devil, it's fun
His lady luck was his one companion
And by the silver and gold
His heart had been bought and bound
But he chanced to fall in new love
He kissed her and he cut the tie
And kissed his lucky lady goodbye
Oh, spin your wheel of fortune
Shuffle the cards, blow on the dice
Are you with me in love
Like you've been with me in life
If I leave you for a lover
Would you leave me far behind
You should've known from the start
She'd take no part in a love triangle
You have to be her's alone
And go it on your own
Because if you've found a new love
Lady Luck is gonna step aside
So kiss your lucky lady goodbye
Spin your wheel of fortune
Shuffle the cards, blow on the dice
Are you with me in love
Like you've been with me in life?
If I leave you for an hour
Would you leave me far behind?
Seven-eleven he rolled
And all his life was a golden gamble
You'd see him reeling it in when the odds were high
Something supernatural, a charlatan, was a mastermind
Or some lucky lady's
Or some jealous lady
Kiss your lucky lady goodbye
Don't pass this way again, goodbye
Don't pass this way again, goodbye

A long tailed cat sitting by the old rocking chair
Now he don't realize that there's a danger there
But he don't care no rock 'n' roll chair is gonna boogie on his day
'Cause when his tail took a low down, syncopate, yeah
I'm going down to Orleans town, to get a pound of feed
Be back home in just 'bout a half of week, yeah
You may be a symphony, babe, but I believe in song
Got a catchy melody so you can sing along
Oh, they say, you know they're talking bout the girls that work up town
I don't realize the amount of danger now
No swinging tail, no rock 'n' roll girl is gonna boogie woogie on my day
'Cause I made my time on a Dixie holiday, yeah
I'm going down to Orleans town on a Dixie holiday
To get myself a tonk of that harmony, yeah
You may be a symphony, baby but I believe in song
It's got a catchy melody so you can sing along
Everybody sing along, along
Don't know what you sing along
Well you're gonna sing along, along
All you sing is oh my, oh my my
Your daddy's getting older and the cows are going dry
Gotta go bye, go bye bye
On a Dixie holiday
Oh my, oh my my
Your daddy's getting older and the cows are going dry
You gotta go bye, go bye bye
On a Dixie holiday
Oh my, oh my my
Your daddy's getting older and the cows are going dry
You gotta go bye, go bye bye
On a Dixie holiday
Oh my, oh my my
Daddy's getting older and the cows are going dry
You gotta go bye, go bye bye
On a Dixie holiday
Oh, we're leaving on a Dixie holiday
Heading for the Dixie holiday, yeah yeah, yeah
<@#Kenny_Loggins_My_Fathers_House.txt#@>
In my voice, in my smile,
In the eyes of my eldest child,
You appear every year in my life.
In a dream, I have now,
Standing still in my father's house,
And I try another time to walk away.
I learned that music and laughter,
From the child that you hid in your eyes,
And it's his song that I sing,
Now who will sing for me?
All my life, no voice inside,
Has whispered, "set me free",
All this time, has it been, you or me.
I wait for someone to save me,
Just like you did all your life,
And will I find my home,
But I alone, like you.
<@#Kenny_Loggins_Nobody_But_You.txt#@>
Some day is finally come
Open up your eyes to the truth
You know it's a magic thing
A man needs a woman like you
You bring all the morning light
Like a sun through the window
You clear up the cloudy skies
You're refreshing as a morning rain
And I don't want nobody
I don't want nobody but you
And if I need anybody
Darling, you're the one that I would choose
I stumble down Canyon Road
Just looking for the right way to love you
Every time I felt your doubt
And I hard the word from above
Hold on, she's coming soon
Woman, who would change your whole life
And now that I have a choice
Well I'm choosing you to be my wife
Well I don't want nobody, nobody but you
And if I need anybody
Darling, you're the one that I would do
Nobody, I don't want nobody but you
And if I need anybody
Darling, you're the one that I would choose
<@#Kenny_Loggins_Now_That_I_Know_Love.txt#@>
How do I know if I'm in love?
Who could I ever learn to trust?
I asked myself these questions for so long
What do I only wish to see?
What do I truly know to be?
I told myself to hold on tight
You never know enough
But now I see what I believe
'Cause I'm believin' love
[Chorus]
Whether my mind's sayin' it's crazy
Whether my world's sayin' I'm wrong
Wherever my heart goes, that's where I belong
I finally found out what faith is
I follow the way that it feels
And heaven has never been more real
When you looked into me
And you laid your hands on me
At once the deaf could hear
The blind could see
Now that I Know Love
I was a child alone, asleep
You came along and cradled me
You took me in your arms
And rocked me so sweetly
I'd prayed for love
To come to pass
How do we know if love will last?
And if it can't then someone tell me
What we're livin' for
I don't know what tomorrow holds
But I know what I know
[Chorus]
Glory be, I believe
Oh I finally see that love isn't blind
'Cause I've never seen more clearly in my life
Now that I Know Love
<@#Kenny_Loggins_The_One_That_Got_Away.txt#@>
You were the quiet one
Afraid to sleep alone
Heaven knows, I was lonely too
Some things in life a man
Can't learn to live without
One of those things was you
Who the good guys are
Who the bad guys are
Isn't always clear
In this world of separate houses
Someone's always missing someone
Day after day
And year after year
Though you and I are distant
Don't ever think I didn't want you
Or miss you every day
No matter where life takes you
Know that I'll still be waiting patiently
For the day that you've forgiven me
My son
The One That Got Away
It's all of the little things
That add up to a life
'N it's been so hard
Being outside looking in
You had hundreds of first times
I didn't get to see
That will never come again
How do we catch up
Is there just too much
Stolen history
In this world of separate houses
I want you to remember
That you'll always be
Inside of me
Though you and I are distant
Don't ever think I didn't want you
Or miss you every day
No matter where life takes you
Know that I'll still be waiting patiently
For the day that you've forgiven me
My son
The One That Got Away
You're carryin' an anger
That does not belong to you
'N I'm sick and tired of doin' time
For a crime I didn't do
I miss you every day
No matter where life takes you
Know that I'll still be waiting patiently
'Cause I do believe in you and me
And I trust that someday
You'll no longer be
The One That Got Away
<@#Kenny_Loggins_Vahevala.txt#@>
I'm thinking about when I was a sailor
Spent my time on the open seas
When we'd stay off the coast of Jamaica
I'd secretly steal ashore
The natives were waiting for
The boy with the lazy soul
To sing with the sailor
[Chorus:]
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Every evening I'd be gone
Back on board by break of dawn
I'm thinking about the nights in Jamaica
Pretty girls dancin' here and there
Stole a keg and now I'm drunk as a sailor
The captain he don't know
Where Billy he done go
But I'm singing with native girls
The songs of a sailor
[Chorus:]
Every night in Jamaica I'd sing with the lady
And drink with the men till the morning appear
Healthy sunshine is fresh on my face
As the songs of the night puts the ring in my ear
[Chorus:]
<@#Kenny_Loggins_Walking_In_The_Air.txt#@>
Sweeping low over an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep
we're walking in the air
we're dancing in the midnight sky
We're walking in the air
We're floating in a moonlit sky
The people far below
Are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding on the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Free as we can be
Above the sleeping world
As far as I can see
(All is a dream)
All across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze
Open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody
Down below
Believes
Their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in a frozen sky
We're drifting over ice
and mountains floating by
Free as we can be
Above the sleeping world
As far as I can see
All is a dream
We're walking in the air
(walking in the air)
We're dancing in the midnight sky
(dancing in the sky)
And everyone who sees us
Greets us as we fly
We're walking in the air
Walkin in the air
We're walking in the air
Walkin in the air
We're walking in the air
We're walking in the air

Don't do anything mellow at the Whiskey
Jimmy says I'm so unfortunate
But let the people at the Whiskey be a bundle of nerves
And don't sing on fairness
Cause if you do, your musical insurance better be paid up
Don't sing anything pretty at the Whiskey
Johnny says you'd best take my advice
Cause the stony little crowd will get to talkin' even louder
And they'll smother you in hissin'
And if they do, your musical insurance better be paid up
Oh, don't do anything mellow at the Whiskey
Johnny says I'm so, so unfortunate
But let the people at the Whiskey be a bundle of nerves
And don't sing on what they're missin'
Like Sunday mornings filled with flowers
Just goin' fifteen miles up north
Cause if you do, your musical insurance better be paid up
Cause if you do, your musical insurance better be paid up
<@#Kenny_Loggins_You_Need_A_Man-coming_To_You.txt#@>
I met myself a woman down in Memphis
She sat down and talked to me
When I asked her to reply
She looked in my eye and I said,
"Woman, I know what you need,
You need a man,
One who's long enough to last,
And he likes to take it slow and easy,
You need a man,
One with lovin' on his mind and
All he wants to do is, baby now, please."
She said, "Whoa, you're just a little bit crazed,
You don't know what you're talkin' about."
I said, "Now, listen little girl,
I'll give a two pound pearl,
If you only let me help you find out that
You need a man, one who's long enough to last,
And likes to take it slow and easy,
You need a man,
One with lovin' on his mind
And all he wants to do is please."
Now, I was sittin' in a little speakeasy,
When I came across that delta girl,
She said, "I hope you understand."
As she opened up the hand,
Now she said, "Honey, you can keep the pearl,
'Cause you are the man,
One who's long enough to last,
And likes to take it slow and easy,
You are the man,
One with lovin' on his mind and
All he wants to do is please."
Everyday seems a little brighter
Every load feels a little lighter
When I know I'm coming to you.
When every road seems a little longer
With every mile I grow a little stronger
When I know I'm coming to you.
You know I barely got enough money to buy the morning
news
I ain't seen a dollar since I last paid my union dues
But with love you're never without
and there ain't no reason to doubt
Oh there ain't no reason...no reason to doubt.
Always get a little lonely when I'm away from you
I end up feeling sorry for the pain I put you through
But with love you're never without, and there ain't no
reason to doubt
Oh there ain't no reason, no reason to doubt.
Everyday seems a little brighter
Every load feels a little lighter
When I know I'm coming to you.
When every road seems a little longer
With every mile I grow a little stronger
When I know I'm coming to you.
When I know I'm coming to you.
<@#Kenny_Rogers_A_Love_Song.txt#@>
Why do people cry
When they hear the word goodbye
In a love song?
Tears are sure to fall
When you know they gave it all
In a love song.
Somehow two lovers get a chance
At a beautiful romance
And you wish it could be you.
'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are singing
In a love song.
It can tear you apart
'Cause a word can break a heart
In a love song.
They say all the things you feel
And they make it sound so real
In a love song.
It seems that everything they say
Is said in such a way
That we believe it's true.
'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are singing
In a love song.
Each of us know
There's no guarantee
We'll ever find love.
And in the songs that we share
The heartache is there
To remind us.
New love brings a thrill
And we know it always will
In a love song.
Happiness can leave
But it helps if we believe
In a love song.
There's a part of you and me
In every memory
That tells us who we are.
And everybody's needing
What the singers all are singing
In a love song.
<@#Kenny_Rogers_Blue_Train.txt#@>
Well, I looked for my baby ?bout the break of day
I said, "I looked for my baby ?bout the break of day"
But a blue train took my baby away
Now the rail is rusted and the road is long
I said, "The rail is rusted and the road is long"
And that blue train won't bring my baby home
I hear that whistle moaning, steel whinning on the track
I hear that whistle moaning, steel whinning on the track
But that blue train won't bring my baby back, no no no
I'm going down to the station, down that road I'm going
I'm going down to the station, down that road I'm going
Gonna catch that blue train, bring my baby home
Gonna catch that blue train, bring my baby home
Gonna catch that blue train, gonna bring my baby back
Gonna catch that blue train, gonna bring my baby back
Gonna catch that blue train, gonna bring my baby back
Blue train, blue train, blue train
Gonna catch that blue train
Blue train, blue train, blue train
Gonna catch that blue train

My Love
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
My first love
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes
They tell me how mush you care
Oh yes, you will always be
My endless love
Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
Oh, love
I'll be the fool
For you I'm sure
And you know I don't mind
'Cause you
You mean the world to me
I know I found in you
My endless love
And love
I'll be the fool
For you I'm sure
And you know I don't mind
And yes
You'll be the only one
'Cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love
<@#Kenny_Rogers_Ghost_Of_Another_Man.txt#@>
He's living in that big old house that he knows was built by me
He's playing with the baby that belongs to her and me
At night he loves a woman that was held by these two hands
He must be leaving hell to live with a ghost of another man
My name is in the side wall outside our bedroom door
He can't help but see what's too dare in me everywhere he goes
He gladly walked through heaven to forget what he can't stand
He must be leaving hell to live with a ghost of another man
I don't mean to haunt him when they turn out the lights
I'm there in the bedroom with both of them each night
And he wonders if he just loved her as good as I loved her back then
He must be leaving hell to live with a ghost of another man
<@#Kenny_Rogers_Gideon_Tanner.txt#@>
Now just look, the whole tow-own
Has turned out today
To say a last prayer for me
And Lord only knows
How surprised they would be
If they knew I could see them
And I could hear what they say
Whoa, if they knew I could see them
And I could hear what they say
Some say I was a good ma-an
Some disagree-ee-ee
Some folks are sad
So-ome are glad
To see the last of me-ee-ee
I know I was happy ma-an
Most of my day-ay-ays
And through it all
If I had a time or two
It was worth it to me
I'm the last of my fam'ly
So I'm takin' my name
No children do I leave behi-i-ind
To sing Rock Of Ages
For an old warn out cowboy
You can take away my body
But the spirit is mine
Woh, you can take away my body, yeah
But the spirit is mine
Some say I was a good ma-an
And some disagree-ee-ee
Some folks are sad
And some are glad
To see the last of me-ee-ee

<@#Kenny_Rogers_I_Can_Feel_You_Drifting.txt#@>
You took me out so far that I can't swim to shore
I've been holding on but you're not anymore
Our love would always lead us home, constant as the Northern Star
Here's a storm we won't get through 'cause it's not in your heart
I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach
Out there in the distance there's something else you need
If I could be what's missing that's all I'd want to be
I can feel you drifting
In the silence that's become the company we keep
I've realized how far we are from what we used to be
A part of you has gone somewhere, I can't seem to touch
I could stay and take what's left, but baby, that's not us
I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach
Out there in the distance there's something else you need
If I could be what's missing that's all I'd want to be
I can feel you drifting
If I could be what's missing that's all I'd want to be
I can feel you drifting, I can feel you drifting, you're out of reach
<@#Kenny_Rogers_I_Dont_Call_Him_Daddy.txt#@>
It was six in the morning
When I made the county line
There's someone I got to talk to
I can't get it off my mind
He's just a kid
And he's in a pretty rough spot
Two dimes to make a phone call
That's about all I've got
How's my boy today?
I know it's been three weeks
But you know how far I've got to go
To make those loose ends meet
How's your mama now
With her new live-in friend
Oh how I hate the wounds
That never seem to mend
[Chorus:]
And he says I don't call him daddy
but he takes care of things
When you pick me up on Friday
Are you gonna bring me anything?
Oh don't worry dad ya know
It don't matter what we do
I don't call him daddy
He could never be like you
Never be like you
God bless their little hearts
They're the ones who really pay
When mom and dad can't get along
And go their seperate ways
In a way I'm glad there's someone
There to fill the empty place
Tears of understanding
Streak down a dirty face
[Chorus]
He is quite a little man
Growing up as fast as he can
And I don't get to see him
Half as much as I had planned
There's so much I need to tell him
So precious little time
A little rain on the window
In a little way goodbye
[Chorus x2]
<@#Kenny_Rogers_I_Dont_Wanna_Know_Why.txt#@>
I don't wanna know why
I took your love as desperate measure
Seeking shelter from another lonely night
You took my love seeking only pleasure
But the feeling passes and the passion doesn't last.
And I don't wanna know why, I don't want no reasons
I just feel the seasons, as they touch another year.
And I don't wanna know why, I don't want no reasons
I just know what is now, and what could never be.
Will the memories fade or will they linger?
Will we live forever for a moment we can keep?
Now we stand alone
(why don't you do what you told me)
Where we stood together
(I only wanted you to hold me)
How did we ever let this dream slip through our hand
(how did we ever let this dream slip through our hand).
And I don't wanna know ....

Just remember you're my sunshine
When I'm with you I don't feel any pain
Just remember that I love you
Even if I cannot be your man
I'm not leaving you forever
But I got business farther down the line
You got your troubles baby
I got mine
Hold on, everything will be alright
Hold on, I got to have a little more time
Hold on and together we will find
All the answers, all we need is time now
Just remember that I love you
When you got no one to hold your hand
Yes you know I'll be back home
Just as soon, just as soon as I can
Hold on, everything will be alright
Hold on, I got to have a little more time
Hold on and together we will find
All the answers, all we need is time now

Laura, hold these hands and count my fingers
Laura, touch these lips you once desired
Lay your head upon my chest and hear my heartbeat
Gently run your fingers through my hair
Touch these ears that listened to your wishes
Most of them, fulfilled and that's a lot
Let your soft gentle hands caress my body
And then tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
Must be something I was born without
You took an awful chance to be with another man
So tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Laura, see these walls that I built for you
Laura, see this carpet that I laid
See those fancy curtains on the windows
Touch those satin pillows on your bed
Laura, count the dresses in your closet
Note the name upon the checkbook in your bag
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
Must be something I was born without
You took an awful chance to be with another man
So tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Laura, what's he got that I ain't got?
<@#Kenny_Rogers_Lay_My_Body_Down.txt#@>
Woman you're the closest thing
I know, to peace on earth
You warm to what feels cold in me
And healing to what hurts.
Woman can you tell me why
I'm driven as I am
Is there something that I have
That makes you give a damn.
Be my comfort when the world
Waves me to the ground
Take me when I've lost my way
Let me know I'm found.
Be a blanket to my soul
Wrap it all around
Be a feather babe to me
And lay my body down.
Touch me with your finger tips
Give my burdens rest
Tell me not to worry so
I know that you know best.
Lady take my candle stance
And hold them in your arm
Lie against me in the dark
And show me I've come home.
Be my comfort?.
<@#Kenny_Rogers_Love_Is_What_We_Make_It.txt#@>
Girl, we've come a long, long way
Too far for us to end this way
Sometimes the cost of love is hard
And we must pay this little give-and-take
So don't you think if you and I
Were just about and let our hearts decide
Maybe it would all work out in time
So won't you stay, please don't go away.
Love, love is what we make it
We can make it so much better if we try
Love, love is what we make it
So let?s make it real good this time.
Is it too late to change your mind?
Or has it gone to fall this time
Won't you hold me just one more time
Let's just say: "there's a chance for you and me".
Love, love is what we make it
<@#Kenny_Rogers_Makes_Me_Wonder_If_I_Ever_Said_Goodbye.txt#@>
Makes me wonder if I ever said goodbye
She at times still comes around
Though she's someone else?s now
And I can't let down, no matter how I try
If I leave her then I find
She's no farther than my mind
Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye
Night and day it?s all the same
Pour some whiskey on my flame
And burn another memory in my mind
Through the years she's moved up town
While I come a long way down
Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye
Yes, she always says hello
The way she used to
But Lord, she only said goodbye one time
Heaven knows I live in hell
With a barroom for myself
Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye
Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye
<@#Kenny_Rogers_Mary_Did_You_Know.txt#@>
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know,
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered,
Will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
Your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know,
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby,
You've kissed the face of god.
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb.
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know,
That your baby boy is heaven's perfect lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding, is the great I am.
Happy birthday Jesus!
A very merry christmas to all of you!
Please remember
Jesus is the reason for the season!
<@#Kenny_Rogers_Maybe_You_Should_Know.txt#@>
Seems to me that we've been friends forever
We spend our time together as all good friends will do
But the silence only lies
If you could read my eyes
They hold another feeling
I could show you
Maybe you should know
Just how much I love you
In my heart there's no one else above you
Maybe I should hope
You find out for yourself somehow
Or maybe I should tell you now
Maybe I should wait and take the chances
A good dancer never dances
Until he hears the cue
But the orchestra is gone
They've left us all alone
There's no one here to tell me how to tell you
Maybe you should know
Just how much I love you
In my heart there's no one else above you
Maybe I should hope
You find out for yourself somehow
Or maybe I should tell you
Maybe I should tell you
Maybe I should tell you now
<@#Kenny_Rogers_One_Life.txt#@>
If there's a way of makin' time stand still for good
I haven't found it yet
If I could love you for eternity, I would
But I regret
I've only got one life, I've only got one life
An' one lifetime's just not long enough to live
I've only got one heart, I've only got one heart
And I wish, I had a hundred more to give
Girl, there's so little time and so much I want to do
But I've only got one life to love someone like you
Can't take my eyes off you, I'm afraid of what I'll miss
It goes by so fast
So I'll treat each moment that I've been blessed with you
Like it's the last
I've only got one life, I've only got one life
An' one lifetime's just not long enough to live
I've only got one heart, I've only got one heart
And I wish, I had a hundred more to give
Girl, there's so little time and so much I want to do
But I've only got one life to love someone like you
And I've only got one life and I give it all to you
<@#Kenny_Rogers_Only_Once_In_A_Lifetime.txt#@>
You ask me if someday
You'll hear me say goodbye
I couldnt walk away
If I tried.
Oh I know
My feelings go
Unspoken sometimes
Chorus
You can put all your tears away
This time forever's here to stay
I know a love like yours and mine
Happens only once in a lifetime.
I hold you close to me
And our love comes alive
I never dreamed I could be
So satisfied
If fate is kind
Just once we find
Such heaven in this life
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
I might see lightening strike
Twice in the same place
But I know I'd never see
Love like you've given me.
<@#Kenny_Rogers_People_In_Love.txt#@>
People in love
They've got it all
They've got the world in their hands
Chosen their eyes
There's no way to hide
Of the love that we had
People in love
Live everyday
Knowing each other by heart
A power of two
Leading them through
Like a torch in the dark
Yesterday
Love seemed so far away
I never dreamed I could be
One of those people in love
But I found you
To give up my love in two
Only you
I never dreamed we could be
Two of those people in love
People in love take care forever
Knowing someone truly cares
Love is the key
Of those who believe
Of a lifetime to share
<@#Kenny_Rogers_Saying_Goodbye.txt#@>
Saying goodbye
I watched every sun up
Comin' over my tin cup
Seen every moon changin'
While I slept with the sky
Felt the chill in the north wind
Find holes that I can't mend
This West Texas cowboy is wrestless again.
Campfire light dancin'
On the smiles of some good friends
Wearin' the hard times
In the lines on their faces
Now the seasons are changin'
And it's time I was leavin'
'Cause this West Texas cowboy is wrestless again.
So I'm sayin' goodbye-ye, ridin' away
Sayin' goodbye-ye again
I'm wishin' you well, miss you until
I come back again next year.
Let's sing of the good days
And drink to the ladies
Till the whisky's all gone
And their pleasure is mine
Come sit here beside me
Sweet lullaby me
This West Texas cowboy is wrestless again....
<@#Kenny_Rogers_So_Little_Love_In_The_World.txt#@>
One rainy afternoon at Union Station
As I sat alone and waited on my train
I overheard a lover's conversation
Laced with desperation and pain.
I heard a girl say when is your train leavin'
The schedule's blurry, something's in my eyes
I heard a boy say I'll just board it early
With a voice some lone drown out goodbye.
I thought there's so little love in the world
There's so little love in the world
With all of those millions of lonely boys and girls
Why is there so little love in the world.
I saw them walk together thro' the station
I saw the girl walk back alone her head held down
Her tremblin' lips the only indication
Of her losin' struggle not to cry.
<@#Kid_Rock_Blue_Jeans_And_A_Rosary.txt#@>
All my life I've been searchin'
All my life I've been uncertain
I been abandoned and left alone
At fifteen I had to leave home
The black sheep, the bad seed
At a roadside bar in Tennessee
I met an angel to rescue me
She rescued me
She wore blue jeans and a rosary
Believed in God and believed in me
All her friends think she's a little crazy
She wears a smile, heart on her sleeve
Don't give a damn what the world thinks of me
She tells me it's all good
She's happy with a bad seed
Happy to be misunderstood
Two packs and a pint a day
To hide the shame
And wash away the pain
Aww the pain
Every road was a dead-end street
Runnin' from the law
And runnin' on empty
You couldn't shake the marks that were left on me
At a roadside bar in Tennessee
I met an angel to rescue me
She rescued me
She wore blue jeans and a rosary
Believed in God and believed in me
All her friends think she's a little crazy
She wears a smile, heart on her sleeve
Don't give a damn what the world thinks of me
She tells me it's all good
She's happy with a bad seed
Happy to be misunderstood

<@#Kid_Rock_Guilty.txt#@>
I turn my 15 minutes into 10 long years
I made a million from drinkin' beers
I got a jet, just some touch in these frets
So if my ego gets outta check
I guess I'm guilty
I said I'm guilty
I might do a little yack, might of rub my trab
Now and then, get into a scrap
That's alright, I got lawyers for that
And then motherfuckers, they even know
That I'm guilty
I said I'm guilty
I never sweat, really feel regret
Well cameras roll when you least expect
Some other times ended up online
And motherfucker, if that's a crime
I guess I'm guilty
I know agreement, a shit ain't findin'
You catch me on your charts, still climbin'
A big, big Nascar reshinin'
I said I'm goin' platinum, bitch I went diamond
I've been rhymin' solid check it out
I've been climbin', flamin' all about
Where you at, I've been here for years
Come on, every little body listen
You know I'm guilty
I'm guilty
You know I'm guilty
I'm guilty, guilty
<@#Kid_Rock_Hard_Night_For_Sarah.txt#@>
Its been a hard night for sarah
The divorce went through today
Ten years out the window
She's been faithful all the way
She's feeling really bitter
She's feeling lost and small
She wonders where it all went wrong
Its been a hard night for sarah
She's taken quite a fall
Well he was all she ever hoped for
And she gave him all she had
Never gave a cause to worry
Never hurt her or made her sad
And no one thought to tell her
They all figured that she knew
Just another harmless fling
A phase all men go through
Its been a hard night for sarah
She's going to have to see it through
Gonna have to see it through
The sun is slowly rising
On another brand new day
The children will be waking soon
And shell send them on their way
It's been a hard night for sarah
It's been a hard night for sarah
It's been a hard night for sarah
But today is another day
Today is another day
<@#Kid_Rock_My_Name_Is_Rock.txt#@>
Fly with new blast, get gas
Kid Rock some folks thought I'd flew right past
Faded fast, ran outta gas
Here I come again, all back in that ass
No questions, I tell no lies
Rely Kid Rock is on the rise
Like a sky scraper
I'm back like smack, and so are the vapors
And the papers, cause I'm gonna rhyme
Right, jump right back up into the lime light
And I'm rackin my brain where the pain was
No I got more soul than the train does
Mid western funkin, car pumpin from the amps in the trunkin
Ya can't stop this boy, this time
I'm the real macoy
And you know My name is Rock
You know My name is Rock [Repeat: x 7]
So hey punk, feel the funk
Feel the wrath of the rock
Non stop, I got a glock in my pants
I don't dance, I sit around
I don't sip 40's, I pound
I been around too long, commin too strong
Kid Rock got it goin on
See me, see you, see through, emcee's who knew
Fly like the wind, I hang like a hinge
Been gone like rhymes on a drinkin binge
So don't cringe at the sight of Rock
Ya want to fight the rock, ya gotta fight this glock
And you can say my beats are fake
But it don't mean shit when your gettin paid
Hip-Hop, the jam don't stop
You know My name is Rock [Repeat: x 7]
I'm the D to the O, P to the D
O to the straight up G see
I been around like Jesus layin tracks
But I had to come back, I had to come back
Back from the dead, enough said
Still trippin like Fred
Be red, ya got a head full of holes
I got a head full of bowls
I'm the K-I straight from the D, punk
From the home of the be funk
Ain't no frontin here, I won't disapear
I'll be around next year
I'm the Jiffymack
In the rack, writin off for some ify crack
Last year, this year it's all the same
But you know my name is Rock
You know My name is Rock [Repeat: x 8]
K-I-D's the name
<@#Kid_Rock_New_Yorks_Not_My_Home.txt#@>
Burnin
Oh no, oh no, here we go now
Oh no, oh no, here we go now
Oh no, oh no, here we go now
Oh no...
Went to New York to cut my first LP
Ridin down Broadway in a taxi
Hang a right at 25th
Just a little too swift, jo'
Let me out, I'm gonna walk from here on
Here's 4 bucks you drive like a moron
Lost in The Apple and I'm all alone
'Cause New Yorks Not My Home
In the village chillin' with a 40 in a brown bag
I'm seein' freaks, and also fags
I see a set of nice legs in my site
But its a fuckin' transvestite
Walkin' in the daylight
Now I'm trippin' and I'm like blown
But I take another sip and say to each his own
He'de get dissed in Detroit, but I'll leave him alone
'Cause New Yorks Not My Home
Now if your sounds are knockin' to the cool Kid Rockin'
Has got your girl jockin'
Take a chill pill young man, close your flap
'Cause like the Piston Joe, I'm goin back to back
With a track, uh, that's just too clean
I got my pistol packed and a fifth of Jim Beam
Only 19, and my name ain't Wilbur
But I pull more hoes then Long Jon Silver
I don't dress up, or try to look pretty
Instead I rock the house in every major city
From the tip of Maine to the coast of Cali'
I get down and I yodel in the valley
Can't say I'm from the Bronx or Brookland zones
'Cause New Yorks Not My Home
Ate ave in the 40 deuce, its like a freak show
A lot of hookers try to pop that week, so
I walk with a limp when I pimp through
Or co-mack those hoes if I'm illin' with the Beast Crew
It's pickin' up, ill check this fact
These Mother Fuckers pay over 2.50 for a big mac
Conjested, overcrowded, see ya I'm gone
'Cause New Yorks Not My Home
<@#Kid_Rock_Say_Goodbye.txt#@>
[Verse 1]
We haven't really talked about it
All we do is walk around it now
I hate to say I thought about it
I wished that we could make this work somehow
[Chorus]
It's not really complicated
I can hear it when you sigh
It comes a time we have to face it
Maybe it's just time to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Lately I can feel us drifting
Even tho the good outweighs the bad
It feels like our world is shifting
And yet, you are the best I've ever had
[Chorus]
I still love to watch you sleeping
I still see that look in your eyes
But they're seein' and believin'
That maybe it's just time to say goodbye
[Bridge]
Say goodbye to all the times we treasured
Say goodbye, let the chips fall where they lay
Say goodbye, to things we cannot measure
Walk away, say goodbye!
[Verse 3]
I'll remember you forever
I'll remember every single year
Runnin' through the rain and laughin'
And later in our bed we feel so near
And I'll know when I am older
And the clouds fill up the sky
I may look over my shoulder
And no-one was too young to say goodbye
Years from now when I am older
I may sit and wonder why
Will I look over my shoulder?
And know I was too young to say goodbye
I was just too young to say goodbye
To say goodbye!
<@#Kid_Rock_What_I_Learned_Out_On_The_Road.txt#@>
Headin' for the south lands
Lookin' for some fun
Down below that dixie mason
I know your the one
My tongue is chasin' my eyes are wide
I can see paradise
I been down here once or twice
But I never seen it look so nice
Ahh yeah
Ahh yeah yeah
I like it with the grass cut low
Big mountain tops valley below
I love it when you scream out my name
Kid Rock, what you say?
Kid Rock, what you say?
Kid Rock, what you say?
Kid Rock Yeahhhhh
'Cause I'm a bad mama jamma from Detroit city
Rock from southern Alabama back to Macanow city

Gimme a slimmy and a jimmy I'll stick it
Pick me up lady or beam me up scottie
Late night shaddy let me slip it in your body
I'ma scramblin' ramblin' straight travelin' man
Spreadin' Moejo Sam, please understand
From Detroit to New Orleans
I love the life but I never sold my soul
All them late nights, and early mornings
Let me show you what I learned out on the road
Let me show you what I learned out on the road
You know I've tried a thousand times and I've tried to explain
And I've cried a thousand times over things that I can't change
I've learned a lot you know, I grow each passing day
And I blame nobody but myself for mistakes that I have made
He's a bad maama jamma from Detroit city
Rock from southern Alabama back to Macanow city
I'm raw and greedy, show me gimme, I'll nick it
Gimme a slimmy and a jimmy I'll stick it

All them late nights, and early mornings
Let me show you what I learned out on the road
Let me show you what I learned out on the road
Lord knows when your not here, I get so damn bored of me
And I've spent some lonely nights that did not have to be
And if you could only see, I swear I'd show you true
And although I carry a load out on the road,
I want to come back home to you
From Detroit to New Orleans
I love the life but I never sold my soul
All them late nights, and early mornings
Let me show you what I learned out on the road
From Detroit to Carolina
I love the life but I never sold my soul
From London town down to China
Let me show you what I learned out on the road
Let me show you what I learned out on the road
<@#Kid_Rock_Ya_Keep_On.txt#@>
Shit god damn motherfucker I'm back
My name ain't Jack Tripper, but I'm a day tripper
So watch me whip another funky rhyme
Black hoes sayin' that honky's fine
Gettin' mine, just like I'm supposed to
And if you fuck with the Rock, I'll roast you
A little toast to the real MC's
Ain't no love for the wannabe's
So, hey ho don't call me Joe
'Cause the Joe's I know, can't even flow
I can battle rap, and all that other crap
So if ya don't want none, better step to the back
I'm from the motherfuckin' old school
Basement party's in the Clem fool
Talkin' that trash, I wish you would
Come step to Rock, it's all good
Ya keep on
Rock the house
Rock...rock the house
Ya keep on
Rock the house
Rock... rock the house
Rock... rock the house
Rock... rock the house
Now it's the Marlboro smokin', fine hoe pokin'
Kind bud, be the bud's I'm tokin'
Hittin' you straight with the fresh shit
Mid western funk, and I'm the best bitch
The K to the I to the chrome D's
In the Grand Marquees sippin' O-E
Pimpin' Rock, it's my name, my game
Servin' you hoe's like it ain't no thang
I'm a kid when I rap, rock when I'm singin'
I don't care who comes, but what the fuck you bringin'
Shit, one time, one rhyme
'Cause I'm, that motherfuckin' ill one, with a steel dick
Hittin' you hoe's with the real shit
Ya keep on
Rock the house
Rock...rock the house
Ya keep on
Ya keep
Rock...rock the house
Rock...rock the house
Ya Keep On
Rock...rock the house
Rock...rock the house
Now if you don't know hoe, I'm the man in the dark
I got more riffs than Stanley Clark
Or George Duke, shoot, I'm the kid with the funky loot
So if ya want some, get some
If ya need some, here's some
If ya don't, just step to the rear son
'Cause I'm commin with the quickness
If you dis this bitch, you'll wind up on my hit list
I'll put a bounty on your head
McCough County bitch, ain't a good place to wind up dead
'Cause i'm a real relavent, elevent, type menace
But it ain't Rocky Dennis
Watch me bend this rhyme in half
I'm like Moses, with the mic is my staff
Layin' down them 10 commandments
Thou shall not dis the Rock god dammit
Rock the house

Here we are
Late in the hours that start another day
Here am I
Skirting around what I really want to say
Brothers
Well they hold a place in your heart
They're something apart
But then...
Lovers...
Well that's a different thing to talk about
All this world
You know I'd give you my love - if there were more
But these words
Cover the roads that we've walked so long before
That's another feeling
That's a different story
When we've really nowhere to start
That's another feeling
That's another place in your heart - when I say brothers
We've got really nowhere to start
That's another feeling
That's a different story
They're simply just two worlds apart
That's another feeling
That's another place in my heart - when I say brothers
When ever we two get talking about love
It always ends up
Ends up in tears
I would have thought by now you'd know me
So please stop cryin'
And wasting those tears
<@#Kim_Wilde_If_I_Cant_Have_You.txt#@>
Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
No chance for me
My life would end
And it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears of love
Are a waste of time
If I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh...
Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
To you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh...
<@#Kim_Wilde_In_My_Life.txt#@>
Look for the strength you know you can feel
Search for the truth you know that is real
Then reach for the place you know they can't steal
And say, I'm feeling good with my life
No point in letting life bring you down
There's always something bad hangin' round
Face up to trouble and stare it out
I know I'm feeling good with my life
In my life - everything is feeling good
In my life - feeling like you know it should
In my life - can't you see it's understood
I'm feeling good with my life
No better place to start than with you
Get your head together then follow through
It's not what you're saying it's what you do
I know I'm feeling good with my life
Don't fantasize how your life could be
Make all your dreams a reality
Then there is nothing can bring you down
I know I'm feeling good with my life
In my life - everything is feeling good
In my life - feeling like you know it should
In my life - can't you see it's understood
I'm feeling good with my life
We've got to make it living together
Learning to share our lives
We've got to speak from the heart
Find a new way to start
That's something we've all got to realise
In my life
<@#Kim_Wilde_Say_You_Really_Want_Me.txt#@>
Why you always got to be so cool
And why I always got to play your fool
You don't really know what life's about
Baby come and let your feelings out
Say you really want me
Don't keep it to yourself
Say you really need me
Just me and no one else
Say you really love me
Ooh let me know it's true
Say you really want me
The way that I want you tonight
You don't know a thing about romance
Deep inside you're scared to take the chance

Make your move or I'll be in the wind
I need somebody through the thick and the thin
'Cause I know the problems of today

Just two lovers in a seedy cafe
Someone's leaving, the waiter says "Hey, won't you wait"
Running nowhere, she hides in her room
What he told her had to get out and soon
It's just a bad affair you've had
No need to cry, don't take it bad
You'll soon be glad when you're far apart
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'Cause I'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again
Now she's breaking but what can she do
Somewhere out there a car disappears out of view
Fumbles somewhere for stale cigarettes
Looks for numbers, the ones she could dial but forgets
No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
You've go to realise you''re free
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'Cause I'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again
No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
You've go to realise you're free
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'Cause I'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again

Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket
Knocks in the manager's door,
Grooming to the muzak from a speaker in shoe rack
Lays out her goods on the floor,
Everything she's chosen is conveniently frozen.
"Eat it and come back for more!"
Lady Window Shopper with a new one in the hopper
Whips up a chemical brew,
Croaking to a neighbor while she polishes a sabre
Knows how to flavor a stew.
Never need to worry with a tin of "Hurri Curri"
"Poisoned especially for you!"
No use to complain
If you're caught out in the rain,
Your mother's quite insane.
Cat food cat food cat food again.
Lady Yellow Stamper with a fillet in a hamper
Dying to finish the course,
Goodies for the table with a fable on the label
Drowning in miracle sauce.
Don't think I am that rude if I tell you that it's cat food,
"Not even fit for a horse!"

Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea
Waves sweep the sand from my island.
My sunsets fade.
Field and glade wait only for rain
Grain after grain love erodes my
High weathered walls which fend off the tide
Cradle the wind
To my island.
Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide
Mournfully glide o'er my island.
My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale,
Dissolves in the sun.
Love's web is spun, cats prowl, mice run
Wreathe snatch-hand briers where owls know my eyes
Violet skies
Touch my island,
Touch me.
Beneath the wind turned wave
Infinite peace
Islands join hands
'Neathe heaven's sea.
Dark harbor quays like fingers of stone
Hungrily reach from my island.
Clutch sailor's words, pearls and gourds
Are strewn on my shore.
Equal in love, bound in circles.
Earth, stream and tree return to the sea
Waves sweep sand from my island,
From me.

Two fingered levi'd sister
Said, "Peace", I stopped I kissed her.
Said, "I'm a male resister",
I smiled and just unzipped her.
High diving Chinese trender
Black hair and black suspender
Said, "Please me no surrender
Just love to feel your Fender".
All of you know that the girls of the road
Are like apples you stole in your youth.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Been around but are versed in the truth.

Ate all the meat I gave her

A:Prince Rupert Awakes
Farewell the temple master's bells
His kiosk and his black worm seed
Courtship solely of his word
With Eden guaranteed.
For now Prince Rupert's tears of glass
Make saffron sabbath eyelids bleed
Scar the sacred tablet of wax
On which the Lizards feed.
Wake your reason's hollow vote
Wear your blizzard season coat
Burn a bridge and burn a boat
Stake a Lizard by the throat.
Go Polonius or kneel
The reapers name their harvest dawn
All your tarnished devil's spoons
Will rust beneath our corn.
Now bears Prince Rupert's garden roam
Across his rain tree shaded lawn
Lizard bones become the clay-
And there a Swan is born
Wake your reasons' hollow vote
Wear your blizzard season coat
Burn a bridge and burn a boat
Stake a Lizard by the throat.
Gone soon Piepowder's moss-weed court
Round which upholstered Lizards sold
Visions to their leaden flock
Of rainbows' ends and gold.
Now tales Prince Rupert's peacock brings
Of walls and trumpets thousand fold
Prophets chained for burning masks
And reels of dreams unrolled . . .

Concrete cold face cased in steel
Stark sharp glass-eyed crack and peel
Bright light scream beam brake and squeal
Red white green white neon wheel.
Dream flesh love chase perfumed skin
Greased hand teeth hide tinseled sin
Spice ice dance chance sickly grin
Pasteboard time slot sweat and spin.
Blind stick blind drunk cannot see
Mouth dry tongue tied cannot speak
Concrete dream flesh broken shell
Lost soul lost trace lost in hell.

Health-food fagot with a bartered bride
Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride
Once had a friend with a cloven foot
Once he called the tune in a checkered quit
Great Deceiver
In the door on the floor in a paper bag
There's a shoe-shine boy with a gin-shop slag
She raised him up and she called him son
And she canonized the ground that he walked upon
Great Deceiver

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary

In the night he's a star in the Milky Way
He's a man of the world by the light of day
A golden smile and a proposition
And the breath of God smells of sweet sedition
Great Deceiver
Sing hymns make love get high fall dead
He'll bring his perfume to your bed
He'll charm your life 'til the cold winds blow
Then he'll sell your dreams to a picture show

No open windows, no open windows, no

In between the deep blue sea

Then we'll both surrender there
Walking on air
And the worries of the day lie down
Under cover of the fading clouds
The secrets of the night
Come alive in your eyes
You don't have to hurry
You don't have to try
Cause you don't have a care
You're walking on air

Tea time Monday night, I was waiting
passing time
Then from the hallway, I saw Mother
in her nightgown
Swaying up the stairs, up the stairs, it
seemed so unreal
I knew Grandma' had sent "THEM"
again, the invisible friends
A little later in the middle of tea we
came close to ecstasy
"THEY" were telling tales from
beyond when Grandma' rose
She opened the door, and there was
Missy
Seeing Mother in Grandmother's
chair, she went into tears
Missy was screaming
"What have You done, what have you
done to My Ma", crying louder now
"We better get rid of her, She's too
young anyway", it was Grandma' who
spoke
"Bye, bye Missy, be gone forever
The beautiful fireplace in the kitchen
will do"
I saw Missy struggling in Grandma'
wrinkled hands
"Oh No, let me be, Oh No Please No
Grandma' Please
Aagh Grandma' You're hurting me.
Don't touch me or I'll break it, I've got
the tea pot, I'll do it anyway"
I saw liquid spreading, the bloody tea
all over the floor
Now I heard "THEIR" voices, some
kind of demon growls
DIE - SHE BROKE AMON - AMON - DIE
"THEY" dropped "THEIR" tea cups,
Grandma' stood still
forced by invisible hands, Missy went
down the stairs
As I waved her goodbye, Missy was
sobbing away
Will I ever see her again, Bye bye
Missy, don't be afraid

Back in the tomb, Lucy is sitting on the floor
I am, I am standing by the door
The door to freedom the door that I shut so close
And as I take another look at my mind
I seem to think the sun has arrived, no
McKenzie you better realize, now it's just you and I
Back against the wall
McKenzie's on the stone cold floor
Hands tied together, nowhere to go for Mr. Mayor
The door to freedom the door that I shut so close
And as I take another look at my mind
I seem to think the sun has arrived
This court is now in session
You stand accused of child abuse
Of stealing innocence and freedom too
I am the only Judge, I am the only Jury
I am your lawyer too, so tell me what to do
What's it gonna be ?
Are you guilty or are you guilty!
Yes, you just go ahead and cry
Back against the wall
McKenzie's on the stone cold floor
Hands tied together, nowhere to go for Mr. Mayor
The door to freedom the door that I shut so close
And as I take another look at my mind
I seem to think the sun has arrived
But oh no, there is no sun here
There's only darkness
I, the jury and the judge
Find you guilty of stealing the innocence of a child
And therefore we sentence you to die slowly, die
Die die die die die die die

Again I'm so alone, the wine is pouring down
No one to share with, no one to care with
The only light in my life
Comes from the candlelight, black candles left behind
As I'm sitting through the night
I'm so cold and dark inside
Angel, your memory will haunt me till the day I die
Just a shadow, a shadow of a man
I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man
The eyes of statues standing along the nave
They seem to follow my every move, every tear I shed
I am no longer living, but I am still not dead
I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen
Must we have the other side, just to feel alive?
Oh I wonder what would be had we not created me
Just a shadow, a shadow of a man
I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man
The eyes of statues standing along the nave
They seem to follow my every move
They drive me insane
Surrounded by darkness in this cold church of thine
I try to remember, all that once was mine
I don't know what tomorrow will bring
But if life is so divine, how come I suffer so in mine?
How come I suffer in mine?
The eyes of statues standing along the nave
They seem to follow my every move
They drive me insane
I am no longer of the living, but I am still not dead
I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen
I lived a lifetime of sorrow and hate, up until the other day
That's when I left this sick old world behind
Oh how love can make you blind

I woke him up in the middle of the night
You should have heard me... SURPRISE!
Oh revenge is sweet
Up and awake, McKenzie knew that I was still alive
And I have to tell you
He is the Mayor of this God forsaken town
He's Lucy's father, the man that brought me down
He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me, and I am
Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates
Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead
Revenge is sweet
Revenge is sweet, I know that you agree
Call me sick in the head, but I would never lie to you
I worked for the man
Mayor McKenzie is an old perverted swine
I caught him one night, molesting his own little child
Who do you think they all believed?
He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me, and I am
Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates
Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead
McKenzie did you hear me?...No Lucy, she is fine
She's sleeping in her coffin
Can't wait to meet your face again
He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me, and I am

But that was nothing new to Harry's head
Even though he was strapped down to his bed
Strapped down

Room 17 was nice and cool, oh yeah
But it didn't have the string that would ring the nurse
It wasn't there

Here comes doctor eastmann and nursie needle dear

"Don't be such a baby, harry stop that now

In room 17, everything is so clean

"Black, brown, grey and hairy

Big, small, fast and scary
Yeah, we've got them all
I can hear hit, the spider's lullaby
I can feel it, the spider's crawl on by"
In room 17, everything is so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen
"Nurse needle, it is time to begin
Nurse needle, stick it in
A brown lycosa's what I've got inside this box
I'm gonna let him out to see just how you feel
When he's around
If you move too much he might just bite you
But we'll just have to wait
And see about that"
Deep into the night, they were testing him
So many different species, harry could not win
They forgot the grey one, she was full of eggs
And she would find a warm spot back in Harry's neck
It's so moist and warm in here
Knock knock
Knock knock is anybody there?
"You forgot some spiders in my room yesterday
Now I've got this stunning pain
And my neck is feeling weird, oh I might die
Overnight some of your spiders must have bit me
They were all over me!"
"Oh harry, don't be such a fool."
That same night harry died
When they found him he was grey and white
Black, brown, grey and hairy
We've got them all
Big, small, fast and scary
Yeah, we've got them all

As I look into the eyes of Victoria
Enter the Puppet Master and his wife
I can't speak, I'm in shock
Human skulls, ancient books
A strange symbol on the wall, black candles burning low
In the gloomy light, I see an altar in white
Oh, what is it for? It must be a Ritual
In glass jars, up on shelves
I see liquid dark as Hell, there's one for every Puppet
I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times
I'm feeling strange inside
Oh, as if something has taken my mind
I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times
I'm feeling strange inside
Oh, as if something has taken my mind
In panic, I kick the shelf, with all the jars
One of them falls from high above, to the floor
Red! Oh so red, it's blood
"How dare you disturb my work"?
Demon skull, red as Blood
It's in the symbol on the wall, there's something deadly wrong
I feel a sting in my eyes, as they're given eternal life
All because of the Blood on the floor, interrupted Ritual
I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times
I'm feeling strange inside
Oh, as if something has taken my mind
He lures away my soul, from its shelter and into the cold
To him my soul is gold
Trading souls with this Demon is something he knows
As well as Hell
Magic life, is his return
Pain, in my skin, sin
I feel some kind of Magic, inside

Never a question to be asked, no no
Never a thing to explain

To the morgue in the West Wing
It was clear to Dr. Eastmann
Harry had died of fright
If he had cared he would have found the spider
Laying eggs in Harry's neck
The smoldering eyes in Harry's head
Had become the home of spiders instead

Deep down below the ground
Where it was kind of cold and damp
Too many stiffs to be fit in the cooler
Gathering dust in the hallways of Death
The smoldering eyes in Harry's head
Had become the home of spiders instead
Spiders here
Spider's everywhere
Spiders feeding the dead to their young
Spiders here
Spider's everywhere
Spiders using the dead for their home
Spiders
They're growing like rats from the plague
Spiders
There's so many more everyday
Summer is coming to an end
And the cellar in the morgue is a nest now

Eight thousand poisonous legs!

Had become the home of spiders instead

Daylight over the Village Green early in the morning.
Daylight over the hills and valleys heralding the morning.
Daylight over the mountains, daylight on the Village Green,
Daylight over the field and the factories.
Another night has gone away and here comes yet another day.
See the early morning risers walking round with bleary eyes.
Worn out housewives grit their teeth ignoring new born babies' cries.
Look at all the busy people this way, that way, everywhere
Biting toast and swallowing tea and breakfast specials on the air.
Feel that daylight.
Feel the sunlight on my pillow and it stops my yawing.
I thank God that I'm still around to see another dawn in.
Daylight over the valleys, daylight lighting up the trees,
Daylight over the hillside,
Smile a smile and sing a song, another night has been and gone.
Middle-aged bankers crack their backs and wish they were young and in their
teens,
Lonely spinsters dream of dating Roger Moore or Steve McQueen.
Health fanatics in their attics training for the Empire Games,
School boys dream of Captain Scarlet, battle ships and aeroplanes.
Feel that daylight, Daylight.
Daylight on the Village Green,
Daylight,
Field and the valleys,
Daylight.

And when he does his little rounds,

Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at,
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight,

Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on,
Each one an dedicated follower of fashion.
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
His world is built 'round discotheques and parties.
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly.
In matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He's a dedicated follower of fashion.
<@#Kinks_Denmark_Street.txt#@>
Down the way from the Tottenham Court Road
Just round the corner from old Soho
There's a place where the publishers go
If you don't know which way to go
Just open your ears and follow your nose
'cause the street is shakin' from the tapping of toes
You can hear that music play anytime on any day
Every rhythm, every way
You got to a publisher and play him your song
He says 'I hate your music and you hair is too long
But I'll sign you up because I'd hate to be wrong'
You've got a tune it's in your head you want to get it placed
So you take it up to a music man just to see what he will say
He says 'I hate the tune, I hate the words but I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll sign you up and take it round the street and see if it makes the grade'
And you might even hear it played on the rock 'n' roll hit parade
Daytime, night time, every week you can hear that heavy beat
Now the walls are shaking from the tapping of feet
Daytime, night time, every day you can hear that music play
Every rhythm, every way
<@#Kinks_Dont_Forget_To_Dance.txt#@>
You look out of your window,
Into the night.
Could be rain, could be snow,
But it can't feel as cold as what you're feeling inside.
And all of your friends are either married, vanished,
Or just left alone.
But that's no reason to just stop living.
That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Don't forget to smile.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
Cause darling, darling,
I bet you danced a good one in your time.
And if this were a party
I'd really make sure the next one would be mine.
Yes, you with the broken heart.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Don't forget to smile.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
You walk down the street
And all the young punks whistle at you.
A nice bit of old,
Just goes to show what you can achieve
With the right attitude.
As you pass them by
They whisper their remarks one to another,
And you give them the eye
Even though you know that you could be their mother.
You do the thing you love the most.
What separates you from the rest,
And what you love to do the most?
And when they ask me how you dance,
I say that you dance real close.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Don't forget to dance.

Down all the days
Though the past is just a blink away,
The future waits for me and you,
Down all the days to 1992
Here is hope for all the people
And generations yet to come,
An the future's bright tomorrow,
Illuminated by the morning sun.
Here's for all the working people
And me the ordinary man
For assembly workers in the factory
For farmers toiling on the land
Down all the days
All nations will unite as one
A new horizon clear to view
Down all the days to 1992
So lonely on this island ever since she set me free.
Breaking out of my isolation
Reaching out with hands across the sea
Down all the days, down all the days
Hello my celt and gaelic ladies.
Bonsoir my green colleen from ireland
Wilkommen deutch and dutch and dansk
Gutten tag amour prego ola combien
I'm losing all my bitterness
It's time to find some happiness
Around the earth, the sky, the sea
Down all the days
Bon soir, my little senorita, c'est magnifique
Au revoir, my little fraulfin baby, it's so tragique
Achtung parlez vous englese, bon appetit
Jawohl, mambo italiano, ca va, o.k. i'm on my way
Down all the days.
Can we heal the wounds of many wars?
And the battle scars that went before
Down all the days to 1992
There's gonna be a celebration in 1992
Somehow we lost communication
But i'll find you girl and come back home to you
Down all the days
There's gonna be a celebration in 1992
Somehow we lost communication
I'll find you girl and come back home to you
Down all the days.
Around the earth, the sky, the sea, down all the days
Around the earth, the sky, the sea, down all the days

Here's a song for all the little men, who get forgotten
Trodden time and time again
Here's a message for the little guy, don't let this situation pass you by
You're in the middle while the big mouths fight
You get it from the left and the right, ain't it crazy
So get out of your easy chairs, we've got a lot to do out there
Well ain't we
Good's gone bad but right is wrong and I don't know which side I'm on lately
Get up from the down you are in
Come out of your homes and let's see your faces
Get up out of your easy chairs, get up and show 'em that you're there
Get up it's your one salvation
Wise up to the situation
Somebody gotta get up and shout
Somebody gotta give us some clout
You're the ones to make it all work out
It all depends on you
Get up off your arses men
Don't let 'em think you're getting lazy
Get up out of your easy chairs
We gotta lot to do out there, well ain't we
Get up, get up, get up,
Get up, get up, get up
<@#Kinks_Good_Day.txt#@>
The sky is blue
But there are clouds in my head,
With big decisions looming ahead
The sun is out but
The room is so grey,
So much confusion headed my way
Get positive, try to be gay
News of the world,
Tea and biscuits in bed
The headlines said that Diana is dead
She couldn't act much but she put on a show
She always smiled
Even when she felt low
I used to fancy her a long time ago.
So today has got to be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Good day, good day, good day.
Holes in my socks
And I can't find my shoes
It's no surprise that I'm singing the blues
So many holes in my life still to mend,
And someone just said
That the world?s gonna end
So today better be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Today has got to be a good day,
Good day, good day, good day, good day.
If we blow away the past
With a bloody great blast,
Make it fast, make it fast
So have a good day today
Because it could be your last,
Make it last, make it last
Will it light up the sky?
Will it blot out the sun?
Well we've waited this long,
So it better be a good one
Good day, good day, good day
Yeah, it's gonna be a good day
Hey baby, if you come back home
It'll be a good day today.
They could drop a small atom bomb
On the city today,
But if you walk through that door, honey,
You know it'll be a good day
And now survival is my only aim
I call friends and see if any remain
Who was that girl who used to be my flame?
I'd call her if I could remember her name
So today is gonna be a good day,
Today has got to be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Good day, good day, good day, good day
Hey Diana, I've really got to learn
To take a tip from you,
Put on my makeup and try
To make the world take notice of you
Yeah, it's gonna be good day today
Good day, gonna be a good day

<@#Kinks_I_Go_To_Sleep.txt#@>
When I look up from my pillow I dream you are there with me.
Though you are far away I know you'll always be near to me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
I look around me and feel you are ever so close to me.
Each tear that flows from my eyes brings back memories of you to me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
I was wrong, I will cry, I will love you to the day I die.
You alone, you alone and no one else, you were meant for me.
When morning comes once more I have the loneliness you left me.
Each day drags by until finally night time descends on me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that you're there with me.

Look through any doorway,
Each life will tell it's story.
See the joy and heartbreak,
For all the world to see.
She's on the city streets,
On her face is desolation.
Just a kid from out of town,
In the land of hope and glory.
Look through any doorway,
Each life will tell it's story.
See the joy and heartbreak,
For all the world to see.
Open up your heart.
Open up the highway,
The road will stretch before you,
For there will be a new day,
Where love will show the way.
Only shadows of the world we left behind,
Open up your heart,
Many shadows of the past, so don't look back.
Look at the wars,
A part of greed affects us all
There's a better way, despite what they do or say,
People of the world.
Look through any doorway,
Tell me what you see.
Open up your heartache,
And love will show the way.
Searching for the way,
Through all the doubt and sorrow.
Days turn into years,
But we'll build a new tomorrow.
Look through any doorway,
Each life will bear its treasure.
Open up your heartache,
And love will show the way.
All the shadows of the world we left behind,
Open up your heart.
Many shadows of the past, so don't look back,
Open up your heart.
Open up your heart.
Look through any doorway,
Tell me what you see.
Look through any doorway.

I'll have some clam chowder, followed by beef steak on rye
Pumpkin pie, whipped cream and coffee
I wanna green salad on the side
Don't forget the french fries
Pizza pie, garlic and anchovy
I keep burning up calories as fast as I keep putting them down
Eat food, put it in my mouth
Chew it up, swallow it down
I'll have two eggs, over light, home made apple pie
Cole slaw as a side order
I gotta stay fit, stay alive, eat food to sustain a non-stop high-grade
performer
The pace is continual, sure keeps running me down
Don't you know that you gotta eat food
Don't you know that you gotta refuel
I'm a maximum consumption, super-grade performer
High powered machine
Go steady on my clutch, go easy on the hills
And you'll get a lot of mileage out of me
I'm so easy to drive, and I'm an excellent ride
Excessive living sure keeps running me down
You've got to learn to use the maximum juice
That's how you get the maximum use
Life keeps using me, keeps on abusing me, mentally and physically
I gotta stay fit, stay alive, need fuel inside, eat food to survive
Maximum consumption sure keeps running me down
Don't you know that you gotta eat food
Don't you know that it's good for you
I'm a maximum consumption
Non-stop machine

Well Mr. Churchill says, Mr. Churchill says
We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end
Mr. Beaverbrook says we gotta save our tin
And all the garden gates
And empty cans are gonna make us win
We shall defend our island
On the land and on the sea
We shall fight them on the beaches
On the hills and in the fields
We shall fight them in the streets
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed to so few
Cause they have made our British Empire
A better place for me and you
And this was their finest hour
Well Mr. Montgomery says
And Mr. Mountbatten says
We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end
As Vera Lynn would say
We'll meet again someday
But all the sacrifices we must make before the end
Did you hear that plane flying overhead
There's a house an fire and there's someone lying dead
We gotta clean up the streets
And get me back on my feet
Because we want to be free
Do your worst and we'll do our best
We're gonna win the way that Mr. Churchill says
Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! Well Mr. Churchill says
We gotta hold up our chins
We gotta show some courage and some discipline
We gotta black up the windows and nail up the doors
And keep right on till the end of the war

If I could I, I'd get away
Far from all this trouble I see everyday
Nobody wants to show their face
This life is like a, like a masquerade
I know you love me
I know you care
But while I'm hurting I just need to know your there
Watching over me and I feel your telling me
[Chorus]
Count it all joy and always remember,
Life will get better it's gonna get better
No matter the weapon it will not prosper,
Things will get better it's gonna get better
Persecuted, pushed away, didn't think I'd live to see another day
Cried some tears and couldn't pray and when I'd try at times
I couldn't find the words to say, but now
I'm stronger, because of you without you Jesus I never could've made it
through
Thank you for watching me loving me and telling me
[Chorus: x2]
Life sometimes may change and nobody wants to feel pain,
But it came to help you grow and there's one thing you need to know
God's in love with you and he'll never let you go
[Chorus: x2]
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better

When I cannot hear the sparrow sing
And I cannot feel the melody
There's a secret place that's full of grace
There's a blessing in the storm,
Help me sing it
There's a blessing in the storm.
[Verse 2:]
When the sickness won't leave my body
And the pain just won't leave my soul
I get on my knees and say "Jesus please"
There's a blessing in the storm,
Help me sing it
There's a blessing in the storm.
[Verse 3:]
When I cannot seem to love again
And the raindrops won't ever end
If you just hold on
Those clouds will soon be gone
There's a blessing in the storm
Help me sing it
There's a blessing in the storm.
Sweet sweet, the storm, sweet

Born alone and left to die
Rejected, often criticized
Hid behind the childhood lies
Everything has changed since the blood
Since the blood, since the blood
Oh, the blood
Born alone and left to die
Rejected, often criticized
Hid behind the childhood lies
Everything has changed since the blood
(Falling on us)
Since the blood (it gave me purpose)
Since the blood (it says you're for us)
Since the blood (who can be against us)
Hopeless fallen from the air
Reaching but no hand is there
Screaming, quiet, no one cares
I might as well have died
But the blood (falling on us)
But the blood (it gave me purpose)
But the blood (it says you're for us)
Oh, the blood (who can be against us), oh
Oh, the cleansing power
That takes the guilt away (Jesus)
The lamb was sacrificed now we
No longer fear the grave (yes, Jesus)
No more condemnation (hallelujah)
The debt of man is paid
By the blood (by the blood)
But for the blood
By the blood (by the blood)
But for the blood
Now we are never alone (your)
Your blood, it makes us strong (now)
Now there is power to move on (we are)
Never, we are never alone
Now we are never alone
Your blood, it makes us strong
Now there is power to move on
Never, we are never alone

And you hide behind your mask
The misery it seems to last
Through the night but it's alright
Joy is just a prayer away
Don't look back at yesterday
Then hear your spirit say

The heavens were silent
The earth weeped in pain
Nations were trembling and hope never came
A Terror filled the air
And it wouldn't go away
We needed a hero to come and save
Famine and hunger,
Disease in the land
The hatred the killing taking lives from your hand
Creation waits through the darkness we pray
Tell me where is the hero to come and save
Through the nails
Through the thorns
From the hill to the grave
Was a voice in the distance the lamb that was slain
My soul had no song and my debt I couldn't pay
When I needed a hero you came and you saved
To the homeless
The widow
The fatherless son
To the sick and the broken alone with no one
Lift up you head your hope is on the way
When we needed a hero you came and you saved the day
When the curtain had closed
And it felt like the end
When your blood caught the fall and took away every sin
Even though men deny
You're the only sacrifice
That loved us enough you loved us so much Lord
That you gave your life see you saved my life
Now I can see you I'm no longer ashamed
Your power I feel see our lives have exchanged
Every wrong is erased, Jesus
You are my hero you came and you saved the day
When the curtain had closed
And it felt like the end
When your blood caught the fall and took away every sin
Even though men deny
You're the only sacrifice
That loved us enough you love us so much Lord
That you gave your life see you saved my life
Now I can see you I'm no longer ashamed
Your power I feel see our lives have exchanged
Every wrong is erased, Jesus
You are my hero you came and you saved
You are my hero you came and you saved
You are my hero you came and saved the day
You saved you saved the day
You saved you saved the day
You are my hero you came and you saved the day

Still you keep calling me (calling me)

Don't go (Can't go)

You win. (uh huh!)
I've been trying to do it on my own. (Yes Lord!)
But right now I gotta surrender
You know what's best (Say it like you mean it!)
It's not easy waiting on you
It's not easy believing that you got this together
But without faith it is impossible to please you (We recognize you!)
So I'm gonna stand right here. (We are still before you!)
You got me. (We are still before you!) You got me You got me

I dedicate this song to recession,
Depression and unemployment
This song's for you
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night
Today's a new day, where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it's alright
(I'll be honest with you)
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower
(When I think how much better I'm gonna be when this is over)
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night
Today's a new day, tell me where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it's alright
(The truth is)
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(And while your waiting)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(And while your praying)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(Look in the mirror)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(Always remember)
You look so much better when you smile, come on
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Smile
See I just want don't you to be happy
'Cause then you have to have something you haven't been
I want you to have joy 'cause can't nobody
Take that away from you
I see you smile
<@#Kirk_Franklin_Let_It_Go.txt#@>
My mama gave me up when I was four years old
She didn't destroy my body but she killed my soul
Now it's cold 'cause I'm sleeping in my back seat
Understand the spirit's willing but my flesh is weak
Let me speak, I never had a chance to dream
Ten years old finding love in dirty magazines
Miss December you remember I bought you twice
Now I'm thirty plus and still paying the price
Had a sister that I barely knew
Kind of got separated by the age of two
Same mama different daddy so we couldn't fake it
I saw my sister's daddy beat her in the tub naked
Take it serious the demons in the man's mind
The same daddy with rape charges now he's doing time
Crack followed and like daddy prison thirteen years
Haven't her but she's traded tears for fears
Shout. Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
So come on
I'm talking to you
So come on
Sex was how I made it through
Without someone to teach you love what else is there to do?
So where I'm from they call you gay and say you ain't a man
Show them you ain't no punk
Get all the girls you can
A simple plan that still haunts me even now today
Back to seventeen and got a baby on the way
No G.E.D. all I see is failure in my eyes
If you listening then remember I apologize
I was raised falling in the church
Made mistakes heard the Lord's calling in the church
After service on the parking lot getting high
Wanted to be accepted so bad I was willing to die
Even tried to tell the pastor but he couldn't see
Years of low self esteem and insecurities
Church taught me how to shout and how to speak in tongues
But preacher teach me how to live now when the tongue is done, help me
See I'm. See I'm
Soul surviver. Soul survivor
World survivor
I just wanna let it go
World survivor, soul survivor
Just wanna let it go
Jesus please on my knees can't you hear my crying
You said to put it in your hands and lord I'm really trying
You wasn't lying when you said you'd reap what you sow
Like that night mama died
Hard to let it go
You adopted me
Cared for me
And changed my name
But I cursed at you
Lied to you
Left your pain
It's not strange I can still see it in my head
To know for hours you were laying in that bed
If you listening to this record,
If it's day our night
If my mama still living treat your mama right
Don't be like me and let that moment slip away
And be careful cause you can't take back what you say
To my real mama if you listening I'm letting it go
To my father I forgive you 'cause you didn't know
The pain was preparation for my destiny
And one more thing lord let my son be a better man than me

For all my sins are washed away
Yes all my sins are washed away
The pain I felt so deep inside
The tears I could no longer hide
There's joy now cause' You're by my side

Washed away
Gone astray
For all my sins are washed away

The sun will shine
My heart shall sing
One thought of you Jesus
What joy it brings
My soul can't wait
To see your face
And I'll bless your name jesus
When we get there
[Verse 2:]
You'll wipe my tears
You'll say well done
You'll hold me close
And tell me I've overcome
And you will exchange
Joy for my pain
And I'll bless your name jesus
When we get there
[Chorus:]
Come on lets go
We'll cry no more
We're gonna be just like jesus
When we get there
Come on lets go
It won't be long
We're gonna be just like Jesus
When we get there
[Verse 1 repeat]
[Verse 2 repeat]
[Chorus repeat]
No more feeling alone
When all my fear is all gone
You tell me it won't be long
When you call my name
We shall be changed come on!

<@#Kirsty_Maccoll_Dear_John.txt#@>
Oh dear john
I hate to be the one to break the news
But it's concerning me and you
This is the letter no-one ever wants to write
You may not believe me but it's the hardest thing I've ever done
My eyes see other glories
Other dreams and other stories
And I want to live before I die
Dear john
Ten years on
I still dream and we still hesitate
The passion's all but gone
Oh dear john
Seems we have a bad day every day
I want to sleep my life away
This is the letter no-one ever wants to read
And though it hurts like hell
It may be what you need to tell you
I never wanted to be cruel
But I'm so tired of being the strong one
And I don't always havet he energy
And you always leave it up to me
Dear john
My eyes have seen the glory
There's more to life than my life story
And I'll probably never find him
But I have to keep on looking
And I'm very very sorry dear john
<@#Kirsty_Maccoll_Golden_Heart.txt#@>
I'm so alone now
Turn to stone now
Won't someone free me
Love me or need me
Surrounded by lovers I stand apart
Won't someone hold me
When I am lonely
Let the sun shine on my golden heart
Music's playing
I'm still praying
Venus made me
Eros betrayed me
Instead of love's arrow
He used a poison dart
So if you could love me
Take good care of me
You'd take this spell off my golden heart
I used to dance and
I knew romance till
A dagger of glass tore my world apart
But if you could hold me
When I am lonely
I'd love you back with a golden heart
<@#Kirsty_Maccoll_Last_Day_Of_Summer.txt#@>
I think I just recalled a time
It was not the moon and not the wine
And though you said you were a friend of mine
I never felt that way inclined
Oh the days were hot and the nights were long
I must have sung a million songs
But all the words just came out wrong
On the last day of summer
I tried to walk the line
Hoped everything would turn out fine
But I think I fell in love that time
On the last day
And then the rain came down and
Sparkled the signs of the underground
And the darkness fell all over town
On the last day
I think I dropped my guard that time
I was flesh and blood and grit and slime
And I think I may have lost my mind
On the last day of summer
I think I fell in love back there
It was tooth and nail it was bones and hair
And you'll never never know how much I cared
On the last day of summer
And though I think I fell that time
It was not the only fault of mine
But all I wanted was a sign
On the last day
I think you broke my heart that day
And nothing I could do or say
Could make the coldness go away
On the last day
The winter changes everything
And the raindrops freeze
On the signs of the underground
I wonder will you think of me
When you look up and see
There's a full moon over London Town
I think I was away the day
When you said you were too smart to play
And you'd only beat me anyway
It's funny how I would have stayed
And you said you were a friend of mine
But that's not what I had in mind
I think I fell in love that time
On the last day of summer
I tried to walk the line -
Hoped everything would turn out fine
<@#Kirsty_Maccoll_London_Bridge_Is_Falling_Down.txt#@>
Days of old when knights were bold, Britain ruled supreme
Songs were sung and tales were told, life was like a dream
Top men like the great King Arthur never came here ever after
Ever since those gallant heroes gone
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Noted for diplomacy, once the mighty fall
Touching pmp of pageantry, history books all show
Husky dogs and great explorers
Mighty kings and sage warriors
Trouble take me since they're dead and gone
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Early evening entertainment
People sleeping on the pavement
In the eyes of god we must be wrong
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Time was when a British Empire was in full control
France and Spain were just the same if the truth be known
Now the walls are down in Europe
Forming laws with certain Arabs?
Better get your petrol while you can
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
Like the grip of an old King Kong
From South Africa to Hong Kong
Now the times are moving on and
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
In the days gone by we'd pay for the things we'd got
Now we pay to advertise while we sell the lot
All the companies we started sold out on the open market
Where are jobs now that they're gone?
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
If we're sure we want to stay
On this, our base for the us of A
Then it's time that we should say that
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down I said, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling down

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
She is sorry to be delayed
But last evening down on lover's lane she strayed
Madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone
Madam
She ran to the man who had lead her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down
Madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail
Madam
They strung her upon the old willow across the way
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried
Madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

It's no use knocking on my door
I won't be answering any more
So don't come round here like you did before
I'm moving out, no doubt about it
Take the video
Take the stereo
Take the dog and the cat and the Bonio
Take the TV and the rug and the radio
I packed my bags
Come on, let's go
Take the bicycle that's in the hall
Take the pictures and the ducks off the wall
This is it, don't let the teardrops fall
I'm moving out today
Take the video
Take the stereo
Take the dog and the cat and the Bonio
Take the TV and the rug and the radio
I packed my bags
Come on, let's go

If you don't open your eyes then you're gonna get hurt
'cause she keeps telling you lies, she's just a full time flirt
Now I know I don't count no more
But you're the one I still care for
And you won't see me no more if you see that girl
Now you may think she's fine when she's out with you
But she only comes around when she's got nothing to do
I don't want to interfere
But that girl seems so insincere
And I won't hang around here if you see that girl
Do you believe the things that she said to you tonight
Why can't you see the way she treats you isn't right?
Now I won't tell you again, it's up to you
But you'd better make up your mind what you're gonna do
Don't you know I want you still
I'm so afraid I always will
And I'll be loving you till you see that girl
I'll keep on loving you till you see that girl
I'll still be loving you till you see that girl
See that girl
See that girl
<@#Kirsty_Maccoll_Soho_Square.txt#@>
Your name froze on the winter air
An empty bench in Soho Square
Forgotten now I turn away
Just save me for a rainy day
But don't be sorry
I don't want to hear it baby
My feet froze in the winter chill
I knew I'd probably get ill
But I was praying we could fill
An empty bench and still
You're so sorry
But I don't want your pity baby
It's all yours now please don't tease
The pigeons shiver in the naked trees
And I'll do anything but
Please don't hurt me
Just kiss me quick
'Cause it's my birthday
And I feel so small
I don't know why
But no I'm not too old to cry
An empty bench in Soho Square
If you'd have come you'd have found me there
But you never did 'cause you don't care
And I'm so sorry baby
I don't mind loneliness too much
But when I met you I was touched
And that was good enough for me
But do we always have to be sorry
Why can't we just be happy baby?
One day you'll be waiting there
No empty bench in Soho Square
And we'll dance around like we don't care
And I'll be much too old to cry
And you'll kiss me quick in case I die
Before my birthday
One day you'll be waiting there
No empty bench in Soho Square
No I don't know the reason why
I'll love you till the day I die
But one day you'll be waiting there
Come summertime in Soho Square
And I'll be painting stars up in the sky
Before I get too old to cry
Before my birthday
I hope I see those pigeons fly
Before my birthday
In Soho Square on my birthday

I know perfectly well
I'm not where I should be
I've been very aware
You've been patient with me
Every time we break up
You bring back your love to me
And after all I've done to you
How can it be
You still believe in me
I try hard to be more
What you want me to be
But I can't help how I act
When you're not here with me
I try hard to be strong
But sometimes I fail myself
And after all I've promised you
So faithfully
You still believe in me
I wanna cry . . .

Out on my own, fighting alone, call me the desperate man

Give me measures of pleasure and pain, boiling the blood in my veins
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me nothing to stand in my way, I'll make the best of my days
In the night, oh, I can feel it
Time slips away, if I can't pay I will steal it
In the night I will be screamin'
Hour by hour livin' the life that I'm dreamin'
Under the gun, I'll be the one, walking the edge of the knife
Taking the best, leaving the rest, I'm gonna run for my life
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger

Stop waitin' for your lucky break - stop waitin', wastin' time
What fuckin' difference does it make? - ooh, gotta keep it comin'
You gotta get all you can take - doncha know I'm gonna take what's mine
People lookin', eyes wide open, tell me what you see
Bodies tired, minds 'a chokin', you gotta set 'em free
Don't think about the race they're runnin', they'll never let you in
With all the rules, it's a race of fools, and you can never win - look out
Get down, fool around, think of all the dues you're payin'
Oh yeah, stand your ground, wise up, can't you hear me sayin'
You gotta get all you can take - sing along, gotta keep on hummin'
Stop waitin' for your lucky break - stop waitin', wastin' time
What fuckin' difference does it make? - ooh, gotta keep it comin'
You gotta get all you can take - doncha know I'm gonna take what's mine
(Yeah you know what I'm talking about, ah just take a look around you)
You gotta get all you can take - sing along, gotta keep on hummin'
Stop waitin' for your lucky break - stop waitin', wastin' time

I know deep inside of me
There's a place but it's not plain to see
I belong, where no one else can be
I'm searching for myself again
And here I'm all alone and when
I close my eyes, no one else can see
I walk alone, can't you see?
I don't belong, let me be
Everything I dreamed of being is me
And I got myself to lean on
Got both my feet on the ground
You don't know me, I don't know me
I can't see you, you can't see me
Close my eyes, leave the world behind
So I got no heart, got no home
I got no song where I belong
I don't worry, everything's just fine
I walk alone, can't you see?
I don't belong, let me be
Everything I dreamed of being
And I don't belong, can't you see?
I walk alone, let me be
Everything I dreamed of being is me
And I got myself to lean on
I got both my feet on the ground
So I got no heart, and I got no home
And I got no song where I belong
I don't worry, everything's just
I got myself to lean on
Got both my feet on the ground
And I got myself to lean on
Got both my feet on the ground
Cause I know deep inside of me
There's a place but it's not plain to see
Where I belong, where no one else can be
And I'm searchin' for myself again
And here I'm all alone and when
I close my eyes, and no one else can see

She was just 19, but in here eyes she was old enough to know
We were caught between two city streets, like a bad dream
We could barely survive in the world outside, where the writin's on the wall
Still she lets me know, we just can't let go, and she takes my heart away
When she tells me I want it, I go crazy, I need it
When she touches I feel it, right there in her eyes
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
Shinin' like a jewel tonight, love is gonna rule tonight
Yeah I'm gonna be the only one, to be King of Hearts
Like a neon light, the shadows flash across my empty room
We could leave tonight and save ourselves from a bad scene
When we walk on by with our heads up high, all the faces turn our way
Yeah it's in their eyes, and they realize, we can make our getaway
When she tells me I want it, I go crazy, I need it
When she touches I feel it, right there in her eyes
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
Shinin' like a jewel tonight, love is gonna rule tonight
Yeah I'm gonna be the only one, to be King of Hearts

If you want to make believe
There's nothing up my sleeve
I'm a man as man can be
As you can plainly see
Don't want to see no tears
Eliminate your fears

You can't believe your eyes, what you heard weren't lies
My love is too much to hold, too much to hold
Much to much
I'm someone you can't fight

I'm far more than a man
I'm gonna make you understand
I'm larger than a life size man
And you can't believe your eyes, what you heard weren't lies

Precious fingers she knows how to hold the poison
Lick it dip it and for no particular reason
She crawls on the floor
Slides against the door
Precious fingers shows her blossom in this season
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Doesn't care if it's a 10 or a 2 way
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Every night, every day
I!
Never meant to show up here anyway
I'm!
Only fucking you till the seasons change
Treasure deep between the places that you hold dear
Came to her to act as if we are in love here
Lying across this chair
Fingers everywhere
To the follies of the angels up above, yea
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Doesn't care if it's a 10 or a 2 way
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Every night, every day

Never meant to show up here anyway

Only fucking you till the seasons change
When you come (be a good girl)
Hold your breath (make it last long)
It is called (death)

Really want me to be a good son why?

Let me strip the plain, let me not give in
Free me of your life, inside my heart dies
Your dreams never achieved, don't lay that shit on me
Let me live my life
Hate!

With your life's dead bodies everywhere

Really want me to be a good son, why?

Here I am different in this normal world
Why did you tease me? Made me feel upset
Fucking stereotypes feeding their heads
I am ugly.
Please just go away
I can see inside you fine
This blessing in disguise
Why you treat me this way?
Make the hate stay
A cell locked, I can never see no escape
All the laughing, all the pain
If you were me, what would you do?
Nothing, probably.
You'd just go on your way
Fagot!
I'm just a pretty boy, whatever you call it
You wouldn't know a real man if you saw it
It keeps going on day after day, son
You fake, if you don't want none
I'm sick and tired of people treating me this way everyday
Who gives a fuck right now I got something to say to all the people
That think
I'm strange and I should be out of here locked up in a cage
You don't know what the hell is up now anyway
You got this pretty-boy feeling like I'm enslaved to a world that
Never appreciated shit
You can suck my dick and fucking like it!
Hear my gun, but he has a body mighty
Any say, anyway, going to say, anyway, any say,
Going away, going to say, anyway
I'm just a pretty boy, I'm not supposed to fuck a girl
I'm just a pretty boy, living in this fucked up world
All my life, who am I?!
I'm just a fagot!

You flirt with suicide
Sometimes that's ok
Hear what others say
I'm here standing hollow
Falling away from me

Day is here fading
That's when I would say
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kill the pain

Beating me down
Beating me beating me
Down, down

Screaming so sound

You see I'm falling in the vast abyss
Clouded by memories of the past
At last, I see
I hear it fading
I can't speak it
Or else you will dig my grave
We fear them finding
Always whining
Take my hand now
Be alive
You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you
Feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone
I'm over it
Why can't we be together
Erase it
Sleeping so long
Taking up the mass
At last, I see
My fear is fading
I can't speak it
Or else you will dig my grave
You fear them finding
Always winding
Take my hand now
Be alive
You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you

My life is such a waste
Begging on something to work this time
But why can't I relate?
Feeling all I do is get what's mine
Holding on to faith
Never gave me nothing but despair
So why do I create just to be swallowed?
I can't take
We have a star
I can't take
We got a fantasy
Come what may
We are the stars
I can't wait
I'll take what's mine
Been hating all this time, before a crowd inside
Been hating all the faces of everything that I could find
Been hating all this time, too far to cross the line
Been hating all the faces of everything that I could find
I cannot leave this place
Burning up inside this space of mine
But why can't I replace feelings I find hard to really find?
I try but I can't taste
Memories they always fuck with me
So why do I create just to be swallowed?

Feed inside

Why can't this kiss be true?
Why won't you please let me through
I don't understand why you always push me away
Last thing I will like to do before it go away
Is cry there next to you
Cry and talk about the good all days and where they've gone
And now how much I hate you

Hiding behind the shadows
Of your broken soul
Why is it always you and something you can never have?
Why did you you try to tell me?
How could you be this way
Your throat, I take grasp
Can you feel the pain?
Then your eyes roll back
Can you feel the pain?
Your racing through my veins
Can't you feel the pain?
Your heart stops beating
Can't you feel the pain
Like orgasms
Can't you feel the pain
I guess your life is dead
Can't you feel the pain
There you are my precious
With your broken soul
Forever my crotch take control
Why is it
You fuck up something you have always had
Why'd you try to tell me
How could you be so cold?
Your throat, I take grasp
Can you feel the pain?
Then your eyes roll back

Can't you feel the pain
Here I am, just a man
Feeling the pain, gives me life
Relieving us is my plan
I'd anything to see through your eyes
Just to see through your lies
I hate you, Can you feel the pain?
Can't you feel the pain?
I hate you, Can you feel the pain?
Your throat, I take grasp
Can you feel the pain?
Then your eyes roll back
Can you feel the pain?
Your racing through my veins
Can't you feel the pain?

Can't you feel the pain

Can't you feel the pain

Sometimes, I hate, the life, I made
Everything's wrong every time
Pushing on I can't escape
Everything that comes my way
Is haunting me taking its sweet time
Holding on I'm lost in a haze
Fighting life to the end of my days
Don't wanna be rude but I have to
Nothing's good about the hell you put me through
I just need to look around
See that life that has come unbound
And you're so cynical, Narcissistic Cannibal
Got to bring myself back from the dead
Sometimes, I hate, the life I made
Everything's wrong every time
Pushing on I can't escape
Everything that comes my way
Is haunting me taking its sweet time
Sometimes, I hate, the life I made
Everything's wrong every time
Pushing on I can't escape
Everything that comes my way
Is haunting me taking its sweet time
Holding on I'm lost in a haze
Fighting life to the end of my days
Holding on I'm lost in a haze
Fighting life to the end of my days

You think your smart
Your not
Its plain to see
That you want me to
Fall off
Its killing me
Lets see
Youve got the gall
Come take it all
The jury is coming
Coming to tear me apart
All this bitching and moaning
Come on it's on
Im trapped in this world
Lonely and fading
Heartbroke and waiting
For you to come
We are stuck in this world
That's not meant for me
For me
So what you got
One last shot
It seems to me
That your not needed
Come on
Its killing me
Lets see
Youve got the gall
Come take it all
The jury is coming
Coming to tear me apart
All this bitching and moaning
Come on it's on
Im trapped in this world
Lonely and fading

What were you thinking?
I guess I'll never know
See your eyes blinking, pupils begin to grow
Killing you softly
Pulling you in
Making your mind up of whats sick or a sin
Open up now
Let it all go
I'm quite certain
Say it ain't so
You're corrupted by some sick fuck
Oh no
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tongue that keeps telling lies,
Still, it's in my mouth,
You breathe in but can't breathe out.
What you been taking
It makes you talk real slow
How come I'm thinking you'd be the last to know (you'd be the last to know)
Choking you gently
Gaining control
Hand you the shovel
To dig your own hole
Open up now
Let it all go
I'm quite certain
Say it ain't so
You're corrupted by some sick fuck
Oh no
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tongue that keeps telling lies,
Still, it's in my mouth,

Everybody's an Enemy
Telling me lies and it's killing me
Why they all want to get rid of me
Everybody's my enemy
Several try to disguise the devil in them
Wanting to get into my cerebellum but I'm
Ready and willing to tell them that I can't f with them
Exhale so hard it got my chest swelling
Like my dick does when watching naked women
Do sick stuff on my porn collection on television
Trust nobody
I don't know who to call a friend
They all just pretend to be
Fuck Everybody this is to all of y'all
'cause everybody is an enemy
'cause everybody is an enemy
Watching my own back
Strapped in chrome, to my homies
Where the tombstones at, where the hoes at?
'cause to many didn't act like dikes, hermaphrodites
With benzene, amen
Look at the trash they biting
The life in times is kinda weaker
Like the time and life of the sandman
On Apollo theater
Imagine that another black with a hook
Who pulls the wack talent off the stage
I'm in raged
Trust nobody
I don't know who to call a friend
They all just pretend to be
Fuck Everybody this is to all of y'all
'cause everybody is an enemy
'cause everybody is an enemy
You fill your lies around me
And you think you've won
You feel you can control me
With the things you've done
You think that you can take me
You think that you can play me
You're going to start to hate me
I feel that you disgraced me
I feel that you disgraced me
I feel that you disgraced me
I feel that you disgraced me
I feel that you disgraced me
Trust nobody
I don't know who to call a friend
They all just pretend to be

Does anybody know bout love
Does anybody care bout God

Do you fear you'll never feel?

<@#Kris_Kristofferson_Border_Lord.txt#@>
Darkness had us covered
When we split from Minnesota in the morning
In the rain
Black as I was feeling
And the street was slick and shiny as a snake
Each of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echo
Hangin' over in the brain
Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take
Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard
And leavin' every yesterday behind
Learning every bridge you cross,
Is burning down before you're off and
Running
Like the devil just in time
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Taking any comfort you can find
Running like you're running out of time
Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding
When you're headin' for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line
Good lookin' women every time you stumble
Waitin' there to catch you when you fall
Gettin' to you bad enough to let em
Keep you backin' up
Till just before your back's against the wall
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding
When you're headin' for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line
<@#Kris_Kristofferson_Bread_For_The_Body.txt#@>
I built my own chains in the land of the free
A slave to a job that meant nothing to me
With three shiny new cars and a split level home
To furnish the tomb I was dying to own
Then one day I wakened with fear in my eye
Aware of a world that was passing me by
And I knew that my savings of silver and gold
Would mean not a thing when my body was cold
Chorus
Because life is a song for the dying to sing
And it's got to have feeling to mean anything
And a man can get by without silver or gold
With bread for the body and song for the soul
I'm living my life by the lesson I've learned
And not looking back at the bridges I've burned
Cause the time that we travel from cradle to grave
Was meant to be spent and not meant to be saved
And I know there are some who will say I'm a fool
But I don't give a damn for the people that do
Cause if down in a dungeon is where they belong
Well, that's their misfortune and none of my own
Repeat Chorus

Eddie the Eunuch was a weasel
Nasty as an old man's nose
Making believin' he was evil
Struttin' in his mama's clothes
You know that Eddie had a bad connection
Never had a chance to ball
Sleeping in the wrong direction, baby
Dreaming he was ten feet tall
But now Eddie the Eunuch is a rock and roll critic
Sucking like a super star
Slicker than a shoe-shine
Quicker than a two-time
Eddie what a thang you are
Eddie makes a damn good livin', baby
Putting other people down
Eddie couldn't ever forgive them baby
'Cause he wasn't Jackson Browne.

Lovers make believe in dreams
Dreamers make believe in makin' love to last forever
Losers can't believe in anything at all
Hey-we never meant to fall so hard
But don't be sorry
Chorus:
Think of all the love we made us
Since you used to be afraid of
Staring at those starry skies above our lives
And now you're free to
Be the best that you can be now
From here to eternity and I'll be here
Forever in your love
Nothing ever stays the same
Sometimes lovers even learn to change
And turn to strangers
If we never see a single dream come true
Hey, I still believe in you and me and I'm not sorry.
Chorus:
Think of all the love we made us
Since you used to be afraid of
Staring at those starry skies above our lives
And now you're free to
Be the best that you can be now
From here to eternity and I'll be here
Forever in your love
Be the best that you can be now
From here to eternity and I'll be here
Forever in your love.

And by gettin' by high, good and high and strange
Gonna get some strange

Keeps a man from missin' what he left behind

Anyhow anywhere anyway anytime

'Cause tonight I need a friend
But yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight

The scene was a small roadside cafe
The waitress was sweepin' the floor
Two truck-drivers drinkin' their coffee
And two okie-kids by the door
How much are them candies, they asked her
How much have you got, she replied
We've only a penny between us
Them's two for a penny, she lied
Chorus:
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
And the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain't it just like a human
Here comes that rainbow again
One truckdriver called to the waitress
After the kids went outside
Them candies ain't two for a penny
So what's it to you, she replied
In silence they finished their coffee
Got up and nodded godbye
She called, hey, you left too much money
So what's it to you, they replied
Chorus:
And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
And the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain't it just like a human
Here comes that rainbow again

They've all got so many reasons for changin' your mind
And there ain't none of 'em knew
But there's just so little distance between me and you
I think we're two of a kind
We won't do nothin' you don't wanna do
And I won't tell you no lies
Chorus:
So tell me, how do you feel about foolin' around
Down from your head to your toes
Ain't nothin' realer than right here and now
If that's as far as it goes
And it goes-and it goes-and it goes
Hey, you'll never miss nothin' you've never known
You'll never know 'til you try
Hey, we can take it or leave it alone
But we got so little time
Chorus:
So tell me, how do you feel about foolin' around
Down from your head to your toes
Ain't nothin' realer than right here and now
If that's as far as it goes.

Any way you want to
Easy as you can
Leave something behind

I come from just the other side of nowhere
To this big time lonesome town.
They got a lot of ice and snow here,
Half as cold as all the people I've found.
Every way I try to go here seems to bring me down.
I've seen about enough to know where I belong.
I've got a mind to see the headlights shining
On that old white line between my heart and home.
Sick of spendin' Sundays wishing they were Mondays
Sittin' in a park alone.
So give my best to anyone who's left who ever done me
Any lovin' way but wrong.
Tell 'em that the pride of just the other side o nowhere's
Goin' home.
Takin' nothin' back to show there
For these dues I've paid.
But the soul I almost sold here
And the body I've been givin' away.
Fadin' from the neon nighttime glow here,
Headin' for the light of day,
Just the other side of nowhere, goin' home.
I've got a mind to see the headlights shinin'

Woke up this morning the border was burning my mind
Things that I seen that I couldn't be leaving behind me
Down in this hole in the ground there ain't nothing to see
But down in Michoacan, paradise waits for me
North of the border the bodies are bought and they're sold, boy
Me and a brother was caught turning green into gold
I'm gonna pay for my crime 'til the day that I'm free
But down in Michoacan, paradise waits for me
A rusty car rode across the border, I was inside
I had two dogs, my red guitar and my teenage bride
We took a look at a shot in the dark and we found a home
Where the flowers bloom in Michoacan

Rain (rain falling always falling)
Pain (pain hurting never ending)
Tear (here comes tears of sorrow)
Fear (fear of today, tomorrow)
Cry (cry when there's no use crying)
Goodbye(goodbye there's no use trying)
It all runs together when your love ones are gone
And your head spins in circles and you're lyin' with your face down in the
rain
Salvation army band playin' in their all night stand
Rain pourin' from the sky blind people passin' by
No one will help 'em now no one will even try
It all runs together...
This is his time at last (this is his time) his life is fading fast
His faith is fled away (his faith is gone) he tries but cannot pray
This is the way we live (this is the way) we take and never give
It all runs together...
Rain falling always falling...
Someone could have helped him but no one would try
Cause their pride wouldn't let them and now he's gonna die there in the rain

I feel the stars cold as forever half as true as you and me
And I'll be your friend I'll be your lover I'll be whatever you ever need
Right to the end until it's over I swear to you you can count on me

<@#Kris_Kristofferson_Smokey_Put_The_Sweat_On_Me.txt#@>
I've known some women in every state
New York City to the Golden Gate
I've lived with some, and buddy, I loved 'em all. (Yes, I did)
But no one woman had a claim on me
'Cause I still had a lotta world to see
And I sometimes stagger, but sugar, I seldom fall.
Then like a hungry man, I went to Louisiana
Where the lovin' and the livin' was good
Without a care to hide and just as satisfied as I could be.
A lotta women and wine and not a tie to bind me
And behaving just as cool as I could
'Til that long legged, sweet walkin' ravenhaired cajun lookin'
Devil put the sweat on me
They call her Smokey, she's a little bit-a evil
Smokey, right as wrong can be.
Smokey, she could shake the very devil
Smokey put the sweat on me.
Oh, my pulse is a beatin' to the clickety clack
Of this one-way ride that's gonna take me back
And my body's just a-breathin' in that Mississippi River smell
Well, my feet wasn't ready yet for settling down
But my soul kept tellin' me to turn around
And the longer I tried to fight it, the harder I fell
And like a hungry man, I went to Louisiana
Where the lovin' and the livin' is good
I'll get a brand new bride and be as satisfied as I can be
And I won't even mind the world I'm leavin' behind
Because I never really thought that I could
'Til that long legged, sweet walkin' ravenhaired cajun looking devil
Put the sweat on me.
They call her Smokey, she's a little bit-a evil
Smokey, right as wrong can be
Smokey, she could shake the very devil
Smokey put the sweat on me
Smokey put the sweat on me
Awww, Smokey put the sweat on me.

Well you've started again
With the wife of a friend
On another night you hope you won't recall
And the wine that you're drinkin'
Doesn't keep you from thinkin'
Of the bitter taste that lingers in your soul
As you listen to your lies
Once again you realize
That she doesn't mean a thing to you at all
And I watch you climb that stairway
To the bottom
Every evening in that mirror on the wall
You take pride in deceiving
One who tried hard believin' in you
Even after all the lies you told
But each lie that you've spoken
And each vow that you've broken
Was a new nail in the coffin of your soul
If you think someone's cryin'
For the love that is dyin'
With the trust that you betray each time you fall
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom
No one's watchin' but that mirror on the wall
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom
No one's watchin' but that mirror on the wall

Why did you go and leave me in Lou'siana sweet Susannah
You left me for a fella who wore a big black umbrella
He came to the sticks to buy some antiques
He was a wheeler and a dealer the woman stealer
See'est la belle 'la Louise Anne...
Oh sweet Susannah you're a loser
You ran off and you left me for a California boozer
You stole all his goods and left him in the woods
I hope you store in a bore you flirty girlie
See'est la belle 'la Louise Anne...
[ fiddle ]
Please come back to Lou'siana sweet Susannah
Since you left nothing's right and the catfish don't bite
I can't pay my rent cause you stole every cent
And I can't stand to see my landlord cry
See'est la belle 'la Louise Anne...
<@#Kris_Kristofferson_The_Stranger_I_Love.txt#@>
I've been a simple man and I've been insane
And I've been a vagabond and I've been a king, yeah
But I've been a better man just tryin' to please the stranger I love
Lost in a wilderness, darker than pain, drawn to her loneliness just like a
flame
The closer we come the more that I learn, the stranger I love
Bad as I loved her, I ain't afraid we'll be together some lovin' way
I'll be her lover just as long as I can, then when it's over, she'll need a
friend
So I'll take her hand-me-downs, I'll take the blame
I'll be a hang-around, I ain't ashamed
'Cause the longer I love her, the more I believe the stranger I love.
<@#Kris_Kristofferson_The_Taker.txt#@>
He's a giver, he'll give her
The kind of attention that she's never known
He's a helper, he'll help her
To open the doors that she can't on her own
He's a lover, he'll love her
In ways that she never has been loved before
And he's a getter, he'll get her
By gettin her into the world she's been hungerin' for
'cause he's a taker, he'll take her
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before takin' advantage
Takin' her easy and slow
And after he's taken the body and soul
That she gives him, he'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave her
Takin' all of her pride as he goes
Yes, he's a taker, he'll take her ...
He's a charmer, and he'll charm her
With money and manners that I never learned
He's a leader, and he'll lead her
Across pretty bridges he's planning to burn
He's a talker, he'll talk her
Right off of her feet, but he won't talk for long
Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her
The way that I never
And damned if he won't do her wrong
'cause he's a taker, he'll take her
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before takin' advantage
Takin' her easy and slow
And after he's taken the body and soul
That she gives him, he'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave her
Takin' all of her pride as he goes
Yes, he's a taker, he'll take her ...
<@#Kris_Kristofferson_We_Must_Have_Been_Out_Of_Our_Minds.txt#@>
We said our goodbyes long ago never thinking we'd miss each other so
All the memories we can't leave behind oh we must have been out of our minds
I thought I loved another not you how foolish I thought the same too
They both turned out to be the wrong kinds oh we must have been out of our
minds
[ piano ]
Let's forgive and forget the past we've known
And reap together the wild seeds we've sown
Surely they can forgive us and find that we must have been out of our minds
I thought I loved another...
Yes we must have been out of our minds yeah
<@#Kris_Kristofferson_When_Shes_Wrong.txt#@>
Go on and take her, it ain't no surprise boy
I knew that someday it had to come
Just let me offer a word to the wise, boy
Oh, take a good look at what you've won
Then turn around, boy, and try to forget her
She's gonna hurt you, before she's gone
'Cause, when she's good, lord, there ain't nothing better
But, when she's wrong, she sure can be wrong
She'll bring you sunshine so good that it's frightening
Oh, but soon as the sun shines, start lookin' for rain
You'll hear the thunder, before you see the lightening
As soon as it's over, start lookin' for pain
And you won't be sorry that you ever met her
But you'll be thankful she don't last long
'Cause when she's good, lord, there ain't nothing better
But when she's wrong, she sure can be wrong

Sunset on the highway to old mexico
Ruby like the wind upon my face
Thunder from a storm on the horizon far away
Ruby cut directly to the chase
She said,
"anywhere you're going baby
You just gotta know I'm on your side. (I always was)
When you climb upon the stallion
You are bound to let him take you for a ride
All the way."
Chorus:
I know I'm still wild enough for you
And you know you, you can always count on me
Baby, we used to be worth fighting for
So tell me, are we?
Anything like anything we used to be
Or tried to make believe before the fall?
Tell me how the hell you keep your spirit (remember spirit? )
Strong enough to answer to the call
Ruby closed her eyes and faced the heavens
She said, "take me to the stars one more time"
I was doin' eighty, but I pushed her through the floor
And watched her climb
Outta sight, outta mind
Chorus:
I know I'm still wild enough for you
And you know you, you can always count on me
Baby, we used to be worth fighting for
So tell me, are we?
<@#Kris_Kristofferson_You_Show_Me_Yours.txt#@>
If you're feeling salty, then I'm your tequila
If you've got the freedom I've got the time
There ain't nothing sweeter than naked emotions
So you show me yours, hon, and i'll show you mine
No ma'm I know this ain't all that you've ever been used to
You with your rings on your fingers and time on your hands
Sometimes it's nice to have somebody nice to be close to
God knows I've been there before you and I understand
Chorus.
I wish that I was the answer to all of your questions
God knows I know you wish you were the answer to mine
Darling if you ain't a thing but a change in direction
Lord don't you know you'd be somethin' I'm lucky to find
Chorus.
So you show me yours and i'll show you mine.

When I am lost you were there
You pulled me through,
And bring me to the right track
When I'm afraid, you let me feel your love is near
You gently comfort me,
You never let me drown in my world of fear
You're always here, your love is so securing
You always bring my heart to sing,
When I'm so low
You have been so uplifting
You're always there whenever I need you in time
You're never late, you're timing always perfect

Ooh oh oh my love ooh oh oh mylove

If I might fall you're there to catch me
You're there for me, i don't worry

If the feeling is gone
Please don't pretend

I can see it in your eyes
And it hurts to admit
I can tell that the feeling is gone
all I ask is just a little honesty
Though I know that you're not
Coming back to me
you know I'll do anything to
Make you stay
But I just have to let you know
If the feeling is gone
there's a sadness in your smile
Though I try to conceive it
I can tell if the feeling is gone
all I ask is just a little honesty
Though I know that you're not
Coming back to me
you know I'll do anything to
Make you stay
But I just have to let you know
If the feeling is gone
all I ask is just a little honesty
Though I know that you're not
Coming back to me

Make you stay
But I just have to let you go

On the phone, its 4am
And I'm still talkin' to my friend
Talkin' 'bout anything
Just to hear his voice would bring
Happiness, inside of me
He has such a nice personality
He tells me things that are good
Makes me feel like how a woman should
But I'm just not too sure
If he's into me
But I'm definitely feelin' him
He's making me crazy
Don't you know you're making me crazy
Just one kiss from you would make
Would make me so happy
Would make me so complete, baby
You're makin' me go crazy
When he's near, I talk to him
But he acts like we're not even friends
I wonder why he acts this way
There's just one thing
Nothing else to say
That's why I'm not too sure
If he's into me
But I'm definitely feelin' him
He's making me crazy
Don't you know you're making me crazy
Just one kiss from you would make
Would make me so happy
Would make me so complete, baby
You're making me go crazy...
When we're alone at home
Talkin' on the phone
You're so nice to me
And all this time, you got me questioning
Are you leading me on, you're leading me on...
You got me crazy
Don't you know you're making me crazy
Just one kiss from you would make
Would make me so happy
Would make me so complete, baby
You're makin' me go crazy

Mula ng makilala ka
Mata'y lagi ng hanap ka
Kapag hindi ka matanaw
Mundo'y parang magugunaw
Sana'y wag nang matapos pa
Ang tunay nating pagsinta
Di maglalaho kailanman
Ang nadarama sa 'yo
[Chorus:]
Sana'y malaman mo
Pag ibig ko'y ikaw
Palagi kang laman ng puso't isip ko
Nag-iisang sigaw, ng damdaming ito
Na ikaw lamang ang siyang mahal
Walang iba, walang iba
Ikaw lang at walang iba

Should I shout for a rescue
Oh, oh, oh, don't let go

Feels like yesterday, has come and gone
But nothing's changed, when I look at you

Walking away from the light

Breaking the walls of my mind

If I lie with you long enough
I can see the things I'm dreaming of

Until everything is beautiful

For bending the rules of what's right
But fooling myself feels so sweet
Reality looks black and white
Pulling the ripcord, I dive
It's a cardboard kingdom, but it makes me feel that

And now I'm traveling at such blissful speed
No need to think at this velocity
The things I feel begin to fade to black

Not make a sound while others bring me down
I'm not someone who'll tell you what you want to hear

And until now I've been patient
I've been good somehow
But anticipation's leaving me no doubt
About how it will be
When you let go of your fear and release
[Chorus:]
Let's move it to the fast lane
Take a chance and love me
I'll give you all I have
I'm good like that
Baby, when you crash into me
You'll finally understand
How loving me can change all your plans
I'm good like that
I'm good like that
Don't make me have to tell you that I told you so
'Cause I know you know and it's hard to hold
I cannot do this feeling, you'll find there's double meaning
To the things I say when you walk this way
Just relax, let me take control of you, sit back
Make you see where all this goes
I'm in too bad - what you got to lose
Compared to what I'm offering you?

I'm good like that

So take a chance and love me fast

Took some time to realize
I saw it right before my eyes
That we don't get along anymore
I tried my best to make it work
You always keep me in the dark
And now I'm feeling oh so unsure
But you know I love ya
You're stringin' me out
I can't anymore and I've had enough
And it ain't right

A situation's taken over me
Can't you see
I'm in trouble?
Infatuation's got a hold on me
A little jealously
I'm not myself at all
I'm surrounded by confusion
And I'm lost in this illusion
You serenade me at the ball
Hiding from it all
Behind a disguise
Who's the man who's at the masquerade?
Wish I hadn't stayed
Just to drown in lies
Like the headline of a magazine, are you what you seem
Because I'm losing my belief?
Can I make it when there's so much doubt
Someone, help me out 'cause I'm in too deep
I'm surrounded by confusion
And I'm lost in this illusion
Follow my dreams into distant lands
Blowing in the winds over shifting sands
I'm in too deep
I'm surrounded by confusion
And I'm lost in this illusion
I'm surrounded by confusion
I'm so lost in this illusion

Hurry up and get a groove on
Light fantastic and it won't be long,
Don't let the moment slip away
'Cause you and I could find a pleasure,
No one else has ever known
Feels like it is now or never, don't want to be alone
How does it feel in my arms?
How does it feel in my arms?
Do you want it?
Do you need it?
Can you feel it?
Tell me
How does it feel in my arms?
Got a feeling this is something strong
All I wanna do is move on
No more wondering where I belong
So never go away
'Cause you and I are guilty pleasure,
No one else has ever known
Feels like it is now or never, don't want to be alone
How does it feel in my arms? (How does it feel in my arms?)
How does it feel in my arms?
Do you want it?
Do you need it?
Can you feel it?
Tell me
How does it feel in my arms?
I'm listening
How does it feel in my arms? (How does it feel in my arms?)
How does it feel in my arms? Yeah, yeah
Do you want it?
Do you need it?
Can you feel it?
Tell me
How does it feel in my arms?
<@#Kylie_Minogue_Into_The_Blue.txt#@>
I drew the smile upon my face
I paved the road that would one day leave me lonely
No angels too good to fall from grace
If she lets go of whatever keeps her holy
But I'm still here holding on too tight, to everything that I left behind
I don't care if the world is mine
'Cause this is all I know
When I got my back up against the wall
Don't need no one to rescue me
'Cause I ain't waiting up for no miracle
Yeah, tonight I'm running free
Into the blue, into the blue
With nothing to lose, into the blue
I'm not ashamed of all my mistakes
'Cause through the cold
I still kept the fire burning
These memories that I can't erase
Always remind me I'm on an endless journey
But I'm still here holding on too tight
To everything that I left behind
I don't care if the world is mine
'Cause this is all I know
When I got my back up against the wall
Don't need no one to rescue me
'Cause I ain't waiting up for no miracle
Yeah, tonight I'm running free
Into the blue, into the blue
With nothing to lose
Into the blue
I'll go where nobody knows
Wherever the wind is blowing
Even if I'm alone
When I got my back up against the wall
Don't need no one to rescue me
'Cause I ain't waiting up for no miracle
Yeah tonight I'm running free
Into the blue, into the blue
With nothing to lose
Into the blue
<@#Kylie_Minogue_Love_Takes_Over_Me.txt#@>
I am lost in the world of you
Can't believe where you take me to
As soon as you enter my mind or you crawl over my skin
Leave me no other choice but to let you in
Love takes over me
(I can feel it)
'Cause your love takes over me
(I can see it)
Oh, your love takes over me
(I can taste it)
Yeah, your love takes over me
(I can be it)
Take, take me now
I can't take no more
Feel me breathe
Feel the energy
How did I fall prey to this
Pleasure is my lonely guide
Yeah, I escaped despite of you
Now that you're inside
Love takes over me
(I can feel it)
When your love takes over me
(I can see it)
Your love takes over me
(I can taste it)
Yeah, your love takes over me
(I can be it)
Magic is running through my veins
Pleasure is coming closer then
So, hurt with me now
So I won't hurt no more
Hear me scream
Hear my suffering
When your love takes over me
(I can feel it)
Your love takes over me
(I can see it)
Love takes over me
(I can taste it)
Love takes over me
(I can be it)

Love takes over me

Oh, oh, oh, don't, don't ask me to dance
I'm scared, this feeling's out of my hands
That look just took my breath away
It's plugged me into you
And I'm tuning in, tuning in slowly like a radio
(Radio, radio, radio)
You pull me in, pull me in, baby, and I can't let go
Can't stop, now where?
Two hot bodies with chemistry that's on the rise
It's electric, magnetic electric
The heat screams out and echoes all around tonight
Two hot bodies bound together with no choice
It's electric, magnetic electric
Star crossed lovers drowned in the sound of this white noise
Oh yes, oh yes, I'm hearing it loud
I must confess I like it
It's everything I wanted and more
You give me bait, I bite it
And I'm tuning in, tuning in slowly like a radio
(Radio, radio, radio)
It's coming in, coming in, this signal is out of control
Can't stop, now where?
Two hot bodies with chemistry that's on the rise
It's electric, magnetic electric
The heat screams out and echoes all around tonight
Two hot bodies bound together with no choice

Lying on the ground together staring at the stars
The night can carry us forever we're ready to go far...
Beyond the realm of us is nothing nothing that matters
The world can fall apart but love, love won't be shattered!
You take the words from my mouth
Like you take the beat from my heart...
Never had this with anyone else
I just don't wanna be apart
I understand you in the silence
So there's no need to say a word
It feels so right you can't deny it
The best is what you haven't heard...
Time has lost it's meaning when you hold me in your arms
And I can hear so clearly in the quiet in the dark
Skin to skin so close to me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be...
You take the words from my mouth
Like you take the beat from my heart
Never had this with anyone else
I just don't wanna be apart
I understand you in the silence...
So there's no need to say a word
It feels so right you can't deny it
The best is what you haven't heard
Skin to skin to skin so close to me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be...
Skin to skin to skin!
Skin to skin to skin!
I understand you in the silence
So there's no need to say a word
It feels so right you can't deny it
The best is what you haven't heard...
I understand you in the silence
So there's no need to say a word
It feels so right you can't deny it

Someday,
Someday,
Precious stone,
Life goes on,
You have abused and used me,
Now I'm going home,
I want my records back,
To get my heart on track,
You think I can't be alone,
Well this woman's here to show you,
Oh, Someday
The lights will fall and you will know,
If you do it slowly,
You might just find it's worth it all,
Precious stone,
Life goes on
You feel used and abused,
Now you're all alone,
How dare you say,
I will be back one day,
You've taken me for granted,
It's time for me to say
Someday he'll be there to hold you baby,
There by the grace a sign,
Someday he'll be there to dry your tears,
I want my records back,
To get my heart on track
You think I can't be alone,
Well this woman's here to show you,
Oh, How dare you say,
I will be back one day,
You've taken me for granted,
You need to find your way.

I want to f-f-you f-you-n-k
Non stop dancing the bus stop
To the funky music
Hustle, pumpin the muscle
Blame it on the boogie
Remember the old days
Remember the O'Jays
Walkin' in rhythm, life was for livin'
[Chorus]
When you can't find the music
To get down and boogie
All you can do is step back in time
Ball of confusion
When nothing is new, and
There's nothing doin', step back in time
Keep on truckin' along
Riding on a love train
And then we can float on
You'll never go wrong

Step back in time
Step back
I want to step back, step back

I floss rings, the new John Mickens
I'm stayin' rich and keep the haters bitching
From New York to Richmond, my shine is sickening
Ice drips, frost bits, or forfeit shit
I got to rewrite this mackin' game, baby
Layin' in the barber shop, knowin' haters is shady
Maybe, they sex young chicks and whips
But I got lesbo' combos ridin' stick-shifts
For no chips, I'm seein' four to eight lips
Let me tell ya 'bout my life-style, players and chips, sick
Mr. Smith, the rarest breed
Separate the dimes from 'hoes like chronic seeds
Miraculous
Lyrical swiftness
Practice this, stop bein' actresses
On mattresses with your legs up in the air
Splash the crisp, John Micks, a millionaire
Another Day, another dollar
My fortune 500 is fully funded
Joints I pumps, gives my pockets the mumps
I'm the glossiest and the costliest
Feel the force of this
Lyrical arsonist
Hotter, than a yacht with rottweilers
Chicks in choppers with they thong sittin' proper
The crisp poppa bringin' drama like soap operas
The show stopper if you playas don't flow proper
I'm the jiggiest, bitch, shit the wittiest
Wonderin' why cats front on who's the williest
Chill, relax, you cats will fall
Ten mill, ten plaques upon my wall
You stall, mix large, I see why y'all
Mash ya like roaches then cop diamond broaches
Supercalla, never mind the alladocious
Sin the fellas, get blazed and you can quote this
Another day, another dollar
I'm the MC that you strive to be
Competition is dead, 'cause ain't none of y'all live as me
Handsome moody, I keep it raw, baby
So save all the goodfella shit for Scorsese
So iced up, they call me Mount Everest
The many get honey ways draped over my headrest
I run game from Fort Green to Maine
I keep ya head noddin' like dope is in your vein
Hail to the King Cajone, jing-a-ling
I buy ya clicks loyalty with one pinkie ring
Gotta be above average to grow cabbage
I wreack havoc, do damage
Don't have it
Techniques up to par
Yeah you, get ya black ass looped like Mardi Gras
Chick soup too
Hittin' me off in yo' car
Blaze her in the alley 'cause she actin' bourgeois
Another day, another dollar
It's hard bein' the King, baby
But someone's gotta do it

Uh uh uh uh-huh
Uh uh that joint is hot baby!
Lights, camera, action, hold up
You know my style, I been blowed up
Paper was young, now it's growed up
Stacks so thick it's hard to fold up
Yo b, find another rubber band in the truck
Count up the money, I'ma stand in the cut
Stroll in the party and I toast Cris' up
Tell that a muh-hucca gets this up
Shake that cookie like what like what
Toss me a drop it's like lightning struck
Look at that apple cobbler butt
Whatchu want to do, whatchu think? Want cut
NBA Live in my truck
Parkin' lot like all jammed up
If there's beef it's best you duck
I'm gon' eat 'til I'm filled up
[Chorus]
Throw it to me, that apple cobbler
Baby it, can I see (can I see) that apple pie?
I said throw it to me, that apple cobbler
Baby it, can I get (hey) can I get it deep fried?
So much sugar it's makin' my head rush
Tell me what the recipe is for that stuff
Break me off a piece of crust
I'm so full I'm bout to bust
Just one slice is not enough
Dang that thang tight like handcuffs
What I gotta say to you for you to give it up?
What if I was payin' you so you could live it up?
Hoochie seats inside yo' truck
Tiffany rocks and trillion cuts
You be Starsky, I be Hutch
Ride shotgun, I pop that clutch
Juicy sweatpants drive me nuts
Take my 2-way, stay in touch
I'm gon' scoop you, heat you up
Take you, bake you, eat you up
[Chorus]
Turn that hair 'round, buck them hips
Love when your hair get stuck to your lips
Apple cobbler sweet and thick
I'm gon' eat you 'til I'm sick
Yo' dessert is worth a grip
I admit you make me trip
Make me want to run to the mall like I'm a trick
I can't believe you're makin' a baller have a fit
Trippin', switchin' past my clique
Lick that juicy, ask my clique
Stretch them jeans girl make them fit
Make me go outside and pit
You know me, my cake is sick

Apple cobbler, thick and rich
Just how hot can one girl get?

Glove on the Bentley wheel

You're boy's so real
Number one in the world
Imagine how it feel
To hit up Sony for a Billion on a deal
Buy out the Beatles
Tell Paul to chill
Too to talk
Y'all read it in my will
Ain't no question on who's the boss
So when I give orders I can talk real soft
There's one king There's one king
There's one king There's one king
There's one king of pop
Nothin' else poppin' off
Comparin' him to me
Oh please knock it off
All of y'all emanate from one source
You try to imitate it
But you can't pull it off
Too unique with it
The pimp is sweet with it
When I'm freakin' it
It's like I'm teachin' it
The world is an apple
They see me eatin' it
Haters get to makin' up stuff
Then leakin' it
How y'all sound talkin' bout a scandal
750 mill, aw man
That's why I keep my brim real low
And a soda can filled up with Merlot
And a private jet on deck ready to go
And a hundred mill wouldn't make me wanna tow?
The smooth criminal
I'm running from the law
Cos I've got the biggest? That your pops ever saw
No on my pocket
No sons on my lap
The king wears a crown
Not a Santa Claus hat
I peel off some bills
Tell em to fall back
It's only 20 mill
It's not all that
Hold my Hold my Hold my Hold my
Hold my umbrella
Give me some support
While I dance on the roof
Of the truck at the court
Can't pull me down
I don't know what y'all thought
Think what you want
But I never got caught
K (k) I(i) N(n) G(g)
You wanna kick off on the recipe
You see paparazzi stressin' me
Cos Marie Presley is undressin' me
Dead or alive
Nobody's alive as me
A close to lead to my prophecy
Be remembered as the greatest in history
This whole industry is my legacy
I'm something something something something
Something like a phenomenon
Something like a phenomenon
Something like a phenomenon

It was crazy

Explore every possibility
Let's get down
Shorty time will reveal
The only true test is pain

Disappears in the blink of a teary eye, that's why I'm

Get in your subconscious and discuss
The many different various
Issues that affiliate the best of both of us
Word the mother
And as we ride up on the Bus
Conversation is making the whole situation a plus
Just figure it out
Is we dealing wit us?
Or do we capture that feeling that
Makes you curious
About whether or not we minimize the fuss
Just to move on, you must trust in Bussa Bus
And from the bus, horse carriages carry us
Singin' Sarafina, a little ghetto fabulous

It's the first time together and I'm feelin' kind of horny,
Conventional methods of makin' love kind of bore me,

Blow your socks off, make sure your G spots off.
I'll call ya big daddy and scream your name,
Matter fact I can't wait for your candy rain.
So which you sayin', I get my swerve on, bring it live,
Make it last forever, damn the kitty cat is tied

Put it on me like a G baby, nice and slow,

Doin' it, doin' it, and doin' it well
Doin' it, doin' it, and doin' it well
I represent Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn.
I'm in the mix now searching for the right spot to hit now, get down.
Damn, I love your dig down, you was a lover, damn right, you are my lover, all
night,
The putty good to ya hard to lover, mad tight.
The only thing left to do is climax, let's make it last,
Word we ain't goin' out like that,
All this time you've been telling me that you was a dove.
I tried to warn ya girl, you wouldn't listen, now lets get it on,
You make me wild don't do that, chill wait a minute baby let me please your
back.
You talk a good one, shorty love ya making sweat, how's do a live nigga like
it girl.
Nice and wet, get on til the break dawn, damn you're large,
How's do a big girl like it daddy.
Nice and hard, safe sexin' it, flexin' it,
Gettin' that affectionate, true in it, oh while we doing it.
[Chorus]
Baby, I want to hit it in the worst way,
Make it hot, been sceaming on that ass since the first day, don't stop,
Damn I love when you talk like that, make it bounce, sugar.
As along as you can bounce me back,
More flesh than a Greek fest, roll up the incense,
Pass the Hennesey, put my body to the test.
Way, way, way back many niggas ago,
I was a young girl listenin' to a higher flow,
Now here's my chance to hit you off,
Daddy I've grown from the back to the side, right I'm in the zone.
One of a kind when it's time to do mine,
Camcorder in the whole shit, press rewind, let it flow on screen
While we puff the L, laying back in the cut while we're under the spell.
Word life, I like the way the end go down,
Go to sleep tomorrow I'll take ya back downtown
We'll be
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
DefJam, Baby Criss, Big Shawn, Word is born,
Make it hot.
Uh, DefJam, LeShaun, Baby Criss, Big Shawn, Rock On
Go Brooklyn, Go Brooklyn, Go Brooklyn, Go Brooklyn, Go Brooklyn
<@#LL_Cool_J_Get_Da_Drop_On_Em.txt#@>
Check it out
I break a nigga down ugly like Coke, up on the scale
Next step throw a stack up on the third rail
The undisputed, I'm never ever diluted or polluted
You could fuse it, if ya choose it 'cause it's deep rooted
I make ya maggot ass crawl out the gutter
For underestimating as I'm creating the butter
Cliques get clipped like heavy bricks when I'm dropping
I'm wrecking nigga whole shit plus I make a profit
Wicked with this shout, bodies are fished out
I'm wrecking niggas one-by-one but then I miscount
Mispronounced, how do LL bounce
And get ya shit bust? I turn ya fagots into mush
Ya slipping, I'm gripping microphones real tight
Then I crack up the speakers in ya Ac all night
Deliver messages, the prophecy's in me
His Royal Highness, you minus what you claim to be
(Say what?)
[Chorus: x3]
Uh, I get da drop on you niggas
I blow it, I make it hot for my niggas
I blow em, kaboom, but fuck sound effects
Niggas was sleeping like I was off on a Star Trek
Select my dialect, inspect all my checks
He claim he getting money but L cast the cheque
You sell blunt weed, Glock block, horizons
Niggas in the projects find ya hypnotizing
You clowns know when I bring forth the heat
Hardcore niggas be wearing panties, looking sweet
I'm on a journey through the land of fronting niggas
Nervous motherfuckers with the hands on dirty triggers
I lay back, niggas beef or let my nuts live
I take my blade, insert it until ya guts give
Execution, the destroyer of ya suspect bunch
What? Drama! You can't believe how I deliver bomb shit
Ya brains split, the pain hits ya little dick
[Chorus]
You falling backwards, leaning like a dope addict
Rope niggas claim me, packing automatics
Found his ol' Earth's burner underneath the mattress
Go outside, the bitch up just like a actress
I take ya motherfuckers one-by-one and show ya how it's done
And dick ya down in front of everyone
Bitch niggas ain't got no type of reason
To say a bullshit rhyme in LL season
I'm freezing, ya bleeding heavily up out'cha rectum
Black and blue, trying ta hide up in the spectrum
I got ya raw ass busting straight flat
Head up on the place mat, ready to waste that
Operating incorporates stimulating designs
Lay that motherfucker's shit down, nigga resign
Don't lose ya mind, concentrating on how I shine
You never hear a nigga like me, never in time
I blaze it quick, amaze cliques when I flip
I can't believe you niggas forgot who rip shit
It's '96 and niggas like to hold they dicks
I'm breaking shit aside ya doctor's can't fix
[Chorus]
Fuck the tricks and all them smooth singing grooves
I'm bringing crews, in my ring you swing and lose
With the blues light my fuse, allow me
To show ya crab ass fake niggas how it be
My technique's superb when I'm pissing on these herbs
Crystal clear so you can hear every word
Fuck the goodie-goodie or your moms might hear it
I gotta keep my title locked down so niggas fear it
Uh, I get da drop on you niggas
I blow it, I make it hot for my niggas
[Repeat: x2]
Uh, I get da drop on you niggas
I blow it, I make it hot!

"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost."
Yeah, you know
It be buggin' me out, you know what I'm sayin'?
That rap, how everybody, like, is using metaphors and all that
It seems like everybody's some kind of metaphor freak
Some kind of metaphorical freak or somethin', man
You know what I'm sayin'? Word up
So, you know what I'm saying
You know brother's want to make a movie and all that
You know how I mean, so I figured you know what I'm sayin'
I'd just make a little movie with a chicken ball
Check it
If you saw the movie, Wall Street, I guess you know
The way ya stack chips and regulate wild dough
But ain't no G-funk, and far from my era
Tales from the hood, your boyz will feel terror
MC's contaminatin' tracks with feces
You think of pussy until a flick like Species
Hi-tech, ya, my pen got velocity
Jumpin' out the SSL like Virtuosity
And never question what I'm doin' to ya, girl
She let me dive deep like her panties is Waterworld
But all metaphors, the only thing in rap
You brothers need to stop with that
[Chorus]
I'm goin' from
Hollis to Hollywood, but is he good?
Hollis to Hollywood, but is he good?
Hollis to Hollywood, but is he good?
Hollis to Hollywood, but is he good?
Check it,
I'm makin' Speed like I'm Keanu Reeves
But too many True Lies can make a honey please
She said, I know you want this
Get a Pocahontas
I got Higher Learnin'
And bangin' gets monotonous
Her ass is classic
Cheeks was Jurassic
Servin' a Justice
Poetic the way I last it
I touch ground, real windy, with my lyrics
Make her talk in tongues, and feel the Holy Spirit
Hear it, pulling light strings
Got mad cast a swing
When I do my thing, my ballz is hairy like the Lion King
I'm in the jungle, layin' down my mack
You brothers need to chill with that
[Chorus]
Take me away
You think I won't, fool?
Take me away
You think I can't, fool?
Take me away
You think I won't, fool?
Take me away
You think I can't, fool?
It's kinda like miniature satellites floatin' in closets
Spyin' in pockets
Jumpin' out of a helicopter into a football stadium filled with cotton candy
We
Word up,
So your man got a good job lovin' ya so much
Boss on his back, comin' home like, 'What the fuck?'
But you be on his side through the thick and all the thin
That's when LL come in
Blast a ass like Apollo 13
Sugar get the cream
Hoppin' dom in every direction
What a scene
He can't understand your best friend's plan
Running game while you chill with the Demolition Man
Good love, have fun, tight hugs and flowers
I have your girl runnin' off to fake baby showers
Better get down before ya cryin' at home
I got her standing on the bed gettin' closer to the Drop Zone
Some brother's won't appreciate that
Ain't it scary when you meet a real mack?
Let's run it back
See the flavors in my lifestyle, chill don't even lie to me
Balls a lethal weapon, dick a menace to society
You ain't a player-hater, kid, you took her off restriction
I make her tell lies and knock the pulp out of fiction
Kid, you know I'm game tight when you hit it tonight
I hope she screams my name right
This word is born kid, you know why?
[Chorus]
Check it
<@#LL_Cool_J_I_Can_Give_You_More.txt#@>
I seen this girl, walking down the block
I said, "wait!"
"Yo baby, you wanna come to my crib?"
"Have some donuts and milk?"
"Listen to a pop tune maybe?"
Please be his ex and be my bride
Don't blame it on yourself, sweet thing, you tried
Love you claimed to share just wasn't there
You're too good for that, and it wasn't fair
Love's taken its toll, your heart he stole
You was fooled by the face of a phoney role
But I'll take up the slack, support you, baby
Now the knight in shiny armor can only be me
I cry out your name as you hold his hand
If you're not mine soon, girl, my soul is damned
I'm looking out the window at the stormy rain
And the rush of the water makes my eyes drain
All alone in the room, and it's making me sad
Fantasize of the love we could have had
Cause I never met anyone like you before
And I can give you more
I pour wine for two, even though it's just me
I tried to reach you, but blind men don't see
Your man is the devil, but he gave you a ring
So you believe you saw an innocent angel sing
You're the type that ignores the destiny of two
It's not Romeo and Juliet, it's me and you
You're being handicapped by a Don Juan rap
You can hope I disappear, girl, but I'll be back
Cause I never met anyone like you before
And I can give you more
Yes girl, I never met anyone like you before
And I can give you more
The time has come, the decision's yours
This super love story ain't working no more
Can't you understand that my love spans
Higher and further than any man's
You're looking a gift horse right in the mouth
This time hear me out, I don't care if you pout
You're my only desire, I fight to the death
And I'ma scream your name when I breathe my last breath
Ain't getting on my knees, but I'm oh so close
To our love I toast, all he does is boast
Cause I never met anyone like you before
And I can give you more
A knock on the door and a tap on the glass
Tells me you see it my way at last
You used to reject me, now you wanna kiss me
He called you up and said, "Yo baby, why you diss me?"
Meanwhile made romance on the sea shore
You want more of what you used to ignore
During this love affair, girl, it gets steamy
Three nights in a row, and you still wanna see me
Make love at night, coffee in the morn'
I be the only blanket that's keepin you warm
Cause I never met anyone like you before
And I can give you more
I hoot in the morning to the crack of sunlight
But my agony continues till it reaches night
Sweet image of your face appears on the wall
And the scene is so eerie I run through the hall
I look at the sky, then I search for the moon
Realize it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon
So I dress to impress, exit the house
Go up to the school and watch the kids come out
In the middle of the court yard there you stand
With the man who's deceiving ya, holding your hand
Cause I never met anyone like you before
And I can give you more
You're the goddess of light, the queen of seduction
You won't get used if you follow my instructions
Your scram my hand, feel the sweat on my palm
Make love to a man and not a cheap Don Juan
And that'll be eroticism, highs die down
You will find your best friend finally is found
I caress ya at night like a virgin in white
Cause the new world I found is oh so tight
And tender and young, soft and wet
It's hotter than any fantasy could get
Cause I never met anyone like you before
And I can give you more
<@#LL_Cool_J_I_Cant_Live_Without_My_Radio.txt#@>
My radio, believe me, I like it loud
I'm the man with a box that can rock the crowd
Walkin' down the street, to the hardcore beat
While my JVC vibrates the concrete
I'm sorry if you can't understand
But I need a radio inside my hand
Don't mean to offend other citizens
But I kick my volume way past 10
My story is rough, my neighborhood is tough
But I still sport gold, and I'm out to crush
My name is Cool J, I devastate the show
But I couldn't survive without my radio
Terrorizing my neighbors with the heavy bass
I keep the suckers in fear by the look on my face
My radio's bad from the Boulevard
I'm a hip-hop gangster and my name is Todd
Just stimulated by the beat, bust out the rhyme
Get fresh batteries if it won't rewind
Cause I play everyday, even on the subway
I would of got a summons but I ran away
I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
But I know I can't live without my radio
Suckers on my jock when I walk down the block
I really don't care if you're jealous or not
Cause I make the songs, you sing along
And your radio's def when my record's on
So get off the wall, become involved
All your radio problems have now been solved
My treacherous beats make ya ears respond
And my radio's loud like a fire alarm
The floor vibrates, the walls cave in
The bass makes my eardrums seem thin
Def sounds in my ride, yes the front and back
You would think it was a party, not a Cadillac
Cause I drive up to the ave, with the windows closed
And my bass is so loud, it could rip your clothes
My stereo's thumpin' like a savage beast
The level on my power meter will not decrease
Suckers get mad, cause the girlies scream
And I'm still gettin' paid while you look at me mean
I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
But I know I can't live without my radio
I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
And I know I can't live without my radio
Don't touch that dial, I'll be upset
Might go into a fit and rip off your neck
Cause the radio's thumpin' when I'm down to play
I'm the royal chief rocker LL Cool J
Let your big butt bounce from right to left
Cause it's a actual fact this jam is def
Most definitely created by me
Goin' down in radio history
I'm good to go on your radio
And I'm cold gettin' paid cause Rick said so
Make the woofers wallop and your tweeters twitch
Some jealous knuckleheads might try to dis
But it's nothin', ya frontin', ya girl I am stuntin'
And my radio's loud enough to keep you gruntin'
My name is Cool J, I'm from the rock
Circulating through your radio non-stop
I'm lookin' at the wires behind the cassette
And now I'm on the right, standing on the eject
Wearin' light blue Pumas, a whole lot of gold
And jams like these keep me in control
I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
And I know I can't live without my radio
Your energy level starts to increase
As my big beat is slowly released
I'm on the radio and at the jam
LL Cool J is who I am
I'ma make ya dance, boogie down and rock
And you'll scratch and shake to my musical plot
And to expand my musical plan
Cut Creator, rock the beat with your hands
That's right, so don't try to front the move
As you become motivated by the funky groove
You can see me and Earl chillin' on the block
With my box cold kickin' with the gangster rock
See people can't stop me, neither can the police
I'm a musical maniac to say the least
For you and your radio I made this for
Cool J's here to devastate once more
Pullin' all the girls, takin' out MCs
If ya try to disrespect me, I just say Please!
Here to command the hip-hop land
Kick it live with a box inside my hand
I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
But I know I can't live without my radio
Farmers Boulevard, yeah, you know that's where me and E hang out,
Cool out, you know what I'm sayin'? That's where the crib's at.
<@#LL_Cool_J_Lollipop.txt#@>
Uh, yeah mm, c'mon
You know how long I've been waiting for this
Mm, you know how bad I want this
(mm, mm, mm)
[Chorus]
Kiss me from (uh) head to toe (I will)
Ooh baby, I love you so (c'mon)
My sweet love, ain't gon' stop (uh)
I'm gon' be, your lollipop (lollipop)
Kiss me from, head to toe
Ooh baby, I love you so (I know)
My sweet love, ain't gon' stop
I'm gon' be, your lollipop
Lolli-lolli-pop-pop, boppin' down the block-block
I've been lovin' you since junior high, ma you got
Everything I need, everything I want
You're the type of dime a real player want to flaunt
Lovin' them lips and the shape of them hips
When I see you in that whack brother's whip, I FLIP
I hate your boyfriend, that cat is corny
I kick it to you and I dare that clown to run up on me
When nights are stormy I be thinkin' about your pretty smile, gritty style
But duke got you locked down like Riker's Isle
I want to break your man off, I can't control it, I'm a hater
Especially, when your perfume lingers inside the elevator
You're the one, the only one
That I would beg, to give me some
Playerism's for life, eternal flossin', proceed with caution
Baby toss him, divorce him, let the boss in
[Chorus]
So ballistic, mystic, twisted
In my dreams I kissed it, never missed it, I frisked it
Searched it, worked it, lollipopped it and jerked it
You followed, swallowed, scratch my back, baby burped it
Red Passion, high fashion
Nobody got to know I'm smashin', I'm sayin' shorty
Rock, Miss Thang, playin' childish games
Standin' on the corner knowin' damn well I want to blaze
Sweet get to it anywhere you like
On the rooftop, at midnight
The project stairs, I'll be there
Runnin' my fingers through your hair
Anyway, the untouchable, magnetic
Kissable lovable huggable energetic, call a medic
Your man'll regret it, when I hit it I'm athletic
Energize your thighs you'll recognize the size
It's epidemic
[Chorus]
When why'all alone in the Brooklyn brownstone
Starin' at the high ceiling, what a feeling
Clothes peeling, finally you're double dealing
I'm walkin', he's wheeling, it's unreal when
You got the dime of your fantasies
My lollipop ecstasy's on top of me
Just like I thought, it's a small world after all
I don't care if your neighbors hear us down the hall
Make 'em jealous, what they gon' tell us?
If you don't tell your girls baby, I won't tell the fellas
If you don't plea, I orchestrated icebergisms
Visions of my lollipop's thick risen, for my wisdom
Plop plop fizzdom, what I give them
Make, yea baby, right there, my new anthem
I love you baby, take it deep deep deep
Deep deep deep, now go to sleep
[Chorus]
<@#LL_Cool_J_You_Cant_Dance.txt#@>
He man, I've seen ya,
Think ya rockin' it on the floor,
You look like a moron!
Who let you in the door?
To put the question bluntly
Maybe your feet's deformed.
They should slap you in the teeth
When you put your dancing shoes on.
You can't dance!
Why don't you just nail your feet to the floor?
Homeboy, what's the use?
Anytime you wanna step aside a party,
First think of an excuse.
You dance like a fat old lady
Not sayin' that fat old ladies ain't nice,
But every time you try to get one move right.
The old lady then did it twice.
You can't dance!
You've been a dancing disco disaster,
The worst I ever saw.
They should dropkick you on the neck
And drag you off the floor.
In every discotheque, I see you there
In the middle of the crowd,
Looking like you got eight or nine
Left feet dragging all around.
You can't dance!
Take my advice, don't move!
You'll never get the knack.
If I danced like you I'd sneak out the party
And wouldn't be coming back.
On the floor you're a dinosaur,
Yeah boy, that's how you move.
You look like Ralph Cramden or a Donald Duck cartoon.
You can't dance!
You wanna come to my party?
I wouldn't give you a chance.
You tried to take break-dance lessons,
Ended up in an ambulance.
Wouldn't it be funny if they put you on solid gold?
You dance like you got arthritis already,
What'll happen when you get old?
You can't dance!
Why are you so stiff?
Is it something that your mother did?
Maybe you grew up around "can't dance" people
When you were a "can't dance" kid.
You live in a "can't dance" house,
Went out in a "can't dance" car,
Your doofy "can't dance" father
Got drunk in a "can't dance" bar.
You take a "can't dance" bath,
Put on your "can't dance" cologne.
Go out to a "can't dance" party
So you wouldn't have to "can't dance" all alone.
You can't dance!
Homeboy, will you please get off the floor, you moron?
<@#LL_Cool_J_Youll_Rock.txt#@>
The momentum of this party can only increase
The design of this rhyme is a masterpiece
You'll want to kick steps to the musical feast
And witness the force I'm about to release
You'll rock!
I'm a professional producer of hip-hop songs
In case you're unaware my beats are always strong
I'll exterminate your crew if I don't like you
with one rhyme I subdue my adversaries are through
I'm the best, fascinatin' my names' Cool J
I'm the royalty of rap, what else can I say
Experienced, rhyme skilled, plus my voice isn't waxed
Funky fresh party rocker, so let's face facts
I'll dust a rapper off if I require practice
Vocal cords so rough that I can eat cactus
Choreographer of rhymes, best of all times
Composition technician with the be -boy's mind
Terrorizin' emcee's instructions in my path
Make your girlfriend ask me for my autograph
I'm the mic dominater, best of all times
And you ain't heard nothin' till you heard J rhyme
You'll rock!
Now I'ma tell you the mean behind the scratchin' sounds
He's Cut-Creator, Philly-Philly as the DJ crown
Me and him are imitatin' but never underatin'
My rhymes and his cuts have been consolidated
The mission ain't complete without the use of his hands
He makes my rhymes so fresher, my beat expands
So I'll like you to meet him, but don't attempt to beat him
A Five Man Crew, me and him will defeat them
He'll scratch and wipe out all foes
Turntable terrorizin' and I think you should know
That were, high calibered and my names' J
And for all you sucker crews it's Judgment Day
To ring this encounter, I'm your rhyme sayer
I have to say it girls, but yes, I'm a player
Materials royal, I'm a'nating all
Like brown with dimples and I'm six-feet tall
And promoter of recordings that I call my own
And I'll love to take one of you ladies home
I'll complete and clear, infiltratin' your ears
My litera-ture is above Shakespeare
Emcee, a sucker natter and I just won't stop
I'm the author and the designer of the jam you'll rock
I'm a lyrical game on the heels of fame
And the world is glad that Cool J came
You'll rock!
Now I'm a dedicate this rhyme to my favorite street
You think about it everytime that you hear this beat
Any other jam you hear just dis-regard
This is the National Anthem of the Boulevard
See I'm loyal to the bully cause it tought me the deal
Certainly the place to be and that's how I feel
Farmers Boulevard, E-Love and me Cool J
In the center of it all is a cute 3-A
Forty-seven will surrender till emcee's in fear
Queens Boulevard is soft, they don't come around here
Quick as L's on my face I will hold my space
And to taste, stimulate, and conduct the bait
You'll rock!
Now I'ma kick it for the beat, check complete my mission
Subtractin' emcee's like a mathematician
Jammin' up the board at the rappin' commission
Soul inventor of this composition
I disintegrate rappers I can and I could
Degrade egg your Al and Ol couldn't write this good
But I'm the Warlord of rap with my own army
Japans' whole military couldn't disarm me
Super bad, cold-crushed, number one be -boy
Like a paintin' from Picasso, I'm the real McCoy
Crown-Prince of rappin', Godfather of bees
Emcee's that need a new lady to feed
You'll rock!
You know I'm sayin'? Break!
You know I'm sayin'? Break! Break! Break two!
<@#Lady_Gaga_Applause.txt#@>

My veil is protection for the gorgeousness of my face
You ought to pity me 'cause was always one man to love
But in the bedroom the size of him's more than enough
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura, behind the aura?
Do you wanna touch me, cosmic lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura?
Behind the aura, behind the aura, behind the aura?
Enigma pop star is fun, she wear burqa for fashion
It's not a statement as much as just a move of passion
I may not walk on your street or shoot a gun on your soil
I hear you screaming, is it because of pleasure or toil?
Dance, sex, art, pop, tech
Dance, sex, art, pop, tech
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura, behind the aura?
Do you wanna touch me, cosmic lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura?
Behind the aura, behind the curtain, behind the burga

Hey there sugar baby
Saw you twice at the pop show
You taste just like glitter mixed with rock and roll
I like you a lot lot
Think you're really hot hot
I know you think you're special
When we dance real crazy
Glamaphonic, electronic, disco baby
I like you a lot lot
All we want is hot hot
[Chorus]
Boys boys boys
We like boys in cars
Boys boys boys
Buy us drinks in bars
Boys boys boys
With hairspray and denim
Boys boys boys
We love them! (We love them)
Oh, oh
Baby is a bad boy with some retro sneakers
Let's go see The Killers and make out in the bleachers
I like you a lot lot, think you're really hot hot
Let's go to the party heard our buddy's the DJ
Don't forget my lipstick I left it in your ashtray
I like you a lot lot, all we want is hot hot
[Chorus: x2]
I'm not loose, I like to party
Let's get lost in your Ferrari
Not psychotic or dramatic
I like boys and that is that
Love it when you call me legs
In the morning buy me eggs
Watch your heart when we're together
Boys like you love me forever
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus: x3]
<@#Lady_Gaga_Brooklyn_Night.txt#@>
[Verse 1]
I always thought it was you,
You always thought it was me.
We always thought we were it,
Seemed like a real perfect fit,
Those Brooklyn Nights set us free.
I always thought even though,
We were so young we could grow.
Up in the end it'd be us,
We'd take the F or the bus,
Where Brooklyn Nights set us free.
[Chorus]
Its not that I don't wanna love you
Its not that I'm really over it, you know (you know)
Its just that I can't watch us bleed to death
When we used to be
Brooklyn Nights happy.
[Verse 2]
I miss our cheap chandalier
'Member when dad hung it there?
And we would watch Rocky IV,
The one where the Russian scored,
I loved Brigitte Nielsen's hair.
I'd call you my champion
Thought we had already won
And cracked open our last beer,
Falling asleep in our tears,
Those Brooklyn Nights set us free.
[Chorus]
Its not that I don't wanna love you
Its not that I'm really over it, you know (you know)
Its just that I can't watch us bleed to death
When we used to be
Brooklyn Nights happy.
[Bridge]
I found an old pair of
Keys in my purse that opened
The walkup we shared
How did they get there, jerk?
I wanna see you there
I wanna make it work.
I didn't brush my hair
And my lashes are falling
Off of seven years
Of our bad luck dating.
I want one last night there,
A Brooklyn Night affair.
[Chorus]
Its not that I don't wanna love you
Its not that I'm really over it, you know (you know)
Its just that I can't watch us bleed to death
When we used to be
Brooklyn Nights happy.
[Outro]
Its not that I don't want to love you
Cause I really tried, and I
Just wanna hang with the old you
For just one Brooklyn Night adieu.
Have a drink with your former self
We both won't act like someone else
Maybe then we'd both tell the truth
For just one Brooklyn Night adieu

Verse 1:
Years ago we met by chance
Thinking - we? D start the greatest love of all
Both of us were in a trance
Together we have been so strong
Through the years I felt a change
Suspecting? We could not keep our love alive
Soon it all
Became so strange
Chorus:
You? Re gone
But where I don? T know
Footsteps you left in the snow
Now I? M alone
But where should I go
I feel like I miss you so
Verse 2:
I shy away from love these days
Because? I need to be alone for now
We have to go different ways
Then I may understand my faults
I? M sure that it will take some time
Until? I open up my heart again
It? S so dark
The sun won? T shine
Chorus:
You? Re gone
But where I don? T know
Footsteps you left in the snow
Now I? M alone
But where should I go
I feel like I miss you so
I? D like to set off
And follow your track
But I know you would never come back
All that remains
At the end of the show
Are footsteps you left in the snow
<@#Lady_Gaga_Freezerburn.txt#@>
Making love in an ice cold room
We start 'til the candle burns - gone
Kissing each other 'til the moon says bye-bye
And the sun says hello
Lying here with no blanket
The room's temperature is sub-zero
Baby bring your body closer
'Cause you keep me warm when you're naked
Let's feed on love until we get freezer burn (freezer burn, freezer burn)
Making out in this ice box 'til we get freezer burn (freezer burn, freezer
burn)
Let's keep on, (keep) on freezin'
Hold me tight, oh I'm not leavin'
Let's keep on loving 'til we get freezer burn (freezer burn, freezer burn)
Sweat drippin' up our bodies, breathin' small
While you're whispering to me
Ice crystal in this small, small bed
But we make frost when we're touching like that.
Laying here with no blanket
The room's temperature is sub-zero
Baby bring your body closer
'Cause you keep me warm when you're naked
Let's feed on love until we get freezer burn (freezer burn, freezer burn)
Making out in this ice box 'til we get feezer burn (freezer burn, freezer
burn)
Let's keep on, keep on freezin'
Hold me tight, oh I'm not leavin'
Let's keep on loving 'til we get freezer burn (freezer burn, freezer burn)
Snowflakes at the tip of my fingers.
Frozen in time, our love lingers
Livin' in a world so cold,
Sometimes our hearts are just like icicles
Being with you is all I need
There's nothing we can't handle babe
Lay on my chest, please cover me
Deep frost, on this bed memories
Let's feed on love until we get freezer burn (freezer burn, freezer burn)
Making out in this ice box 'til we get feezer burn (freezer burn, freezer
burn)
Let's keep on, keep on freezin'
Hold me tight, oh I'm not leavin'
Let's keep on loving 'til we get freezer burn (freezer burn, freezer burn)
Let's feed on love until we get freezer burn (freezer burn, freezer burn)
Making out in this ice box 'til we get feezer burn (freezer burn, freezer

Let's keep on, keep on freezin'
Hold me tight, oh I'm not leavin'
Let's keep on loving 'til we get freezer burn (freezer burn, freezer burn)

[Intro: Spoken]
It's like, I just love a cowboy
You know
I'm just like, I just, I know, it's bad
But I'm just like
Can I just like, hang off the back of your horse
And can you go a little faster?!
[Verse 1]
3 am, mustang speedin'
Two lovers, headed for a dead end
Too fast, hold tight, he laughs
Runnin' through the red lights
Hollerin' over, rubber spinnin'
Big swig, toss another beer can
Too lit, tonight, prayin'
On the moonlight
[Pre-Chorus]
Every John is just the same
I'm sick of their city games
I crave a real wild man
I'm strung out on John Wayne

[Verse 2]
Blue collar and a red-state treasure
Love junkie on a three-day bender
His grip, so hard, eyes glare
Trouble like a mug shot
Charged up, 'cause the man's on a mission
1-2 ya, the gears are shiftin'
He called, I cried, we broke
Racin' through the moonlight
[Pre-Chorus]
Every John is just the same
I'm sick of their city games
I crave a real wild man
I'm strung out on John Wayne

Just to feel your love
Knock me over

Into our love storm

I need a man who makes me alright (man who makes me alright)
Just tell me it's alright
Tell me something that'll change me
I'm gonna love you with my hands tied
Show me your teeth (just tell me when)
Show me your teeth (open your mouth boy)
Show me your teeth (show me whatcha got)
Show me your teeth teeth, teeth, teeth
Show me your teeth
It's not how big, it's how mean
How, how
It's not how big, it's how mean
Show me your teeth, show me your teeth
Show me your teeth, show me your teeth

Oh
Tonight I'm gonna show
Them what I'm made up for
The killer queen inside me's
Coming out
Say, "Hello!"
Oh
Tonight I will return
The fame and riches earned
With you I'd watch them all be burnt
Whoa-Oh, Whoa-Oh
Whenever I start feeling strong
I'm called a bitch in the night
But I don't need these 14-carat golds to win
I am a woman, I insist it's my life
[Chorus]
I can be
The queen that's inside of me
This is my chance to release it
Be brave for you you'll see
I can be
The queen you need me to be
This is my chance to be the dance
Our dream is happening
I can be the queen
I
Wind and hurricane
The stormy sky and rain
When you run dry I'll flood your pain
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
In between the moments of
The lady I've become
A voice speaks through the noise like drums
Rhomp-a-bump-a
Whenever I start feeling strong
I'm called a bitch in the night
But I don't need these 14-carat golds to win
I am a woman, I insist it's my life
I can be
The queen that's inside of me
This is my chance to release it
Be brave for you you'll see
I can be
The queen you need me to be
This is my chance to be the dance
Our dream is happening
I can be the queen
The quee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-een
The que-ee-een
Quee-ee-een
Quee-ee-een
Starry night come inside me like never before
Don't forget me when I come crying to heaven's door
I will fly on a challenger across the sky
Like a phoenix so you can remind them of the dream I bore
[Repeat: x2]
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I got my shadow tonight
Is like a horse
An unicorn is dirtying the hope horn (2x)
He's begging me to come with him
I don't know why
When I'm with this I feel free
Like a monster that could fly
Through the skies I come in
Through the skies I feel free (baby)
Like an unicorn can blow my horn (2x)
I'm not sure
Will he take my head?
I'm not sure
Will he take my brain?
I'm not sure to give my to another body
Well, he's innocent I can't blame
Unicorn Unicorn
Innocent
In the dark
Unicorn
Unicorn
Be afraid of the souls
Be far
I'm not sure
Will he take my head?
I'm not sure
Will he take my brain?
I'm not sure to give my to another body
Well, he's innocent I can't blame

Oh, oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh,
Oh oh-oh oh, whoa oh-oh, oh-oh oh,
Oh-oh oh, a oh-oh oh
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets that I used to own
Oh, oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh,
Oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh,
Oh-oh oh, a oh oh oh
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my Chris and I'll be your Gwyneth
My missionaries hiding in foreign trenches
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an h-h-h-h-honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
Oh, oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh,
Oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh,
Oh-oh oh, a oh-oh oh
It was the wicked and a wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I've become
Revolutionaries wait
For my blonde head on a silver plate
Just a Gaga on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be queen?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my Chris and I'll be your Gwyneth
My missionaries hiding in foreign trenches
For some reason that I can't explain
I know Yves Saint Laraunt no he won't call my name
Never an h-h-h-h-honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Now I'm doing my very best not to mess up all the words but,
A strong apology to Coldplay, but I think otherwise it's a good job
Oh, oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh,
Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh,
Oh oh-oh oh,
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my Chris and I'll be your Gwyneth
The Fame won't change us if we don't let it
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Mary won't call my name
Never an h-honest word
But that was when I ruled the world, ruled the world,
Ru-you-u-uled the world.

If I fell in love you,
Would you understand me dear,
Love is weird.
I coloured you a valentine,
Struggled just to stay inside the lines,
I loose my mind.
I really can't believe
I lost myself again
Looking for something crazy
Beautiful nothing
Now I'm talking in circles again
Never no baby are you hungry
Oh wonderful cause I am
Wonderful cause I am
I wrote a song about your eyes,
Ate a slice of cherry pie,
I cried all night.
On a bench inside the park,
I'll kiss you slowly in the dark,
I'll never stop.
I really can't believe
I lost myself again
Looking for something crazy
Beautiful nothing
Now I'm talking in circles again
Never no baby are you hungry
Oh wonderful cause I am
Wonderful cause I am
Baby take me for a ride
Baby get a little high
In a place we've never been
Time is nothing but a line
We leave everything behind
It be so wonderful
Wonderful
Looking for something crazy
Beautiful nothing
Now I'm talking in circles again
Never no baby are you hungry
Oh wonderful cause I am
Wonderful cause I am
Wonderful I am
You know wonderful I am

Flirting with the girls like you're so pretty

With your big eyes
And your big lies
With your big eyes
And your big lies
I saw you creeping around the garden
What are you hiding?
I beg your pardon don't tell me "nothing"
I used to think that I could trust you
I was your woman
You were my knight and shining companion
To my surprise my loves demise was his own greed and lullaby
With your big eyes, and your big lies
With your big eyes, and your big lies
I noticed you got hot in summer you had no comfort
Your shirt was cotton your face was sunburned
You paced around like you'd been waiting
Waiting for something
Your world was burning and I stood watching
As I looked on the flames grew high you watched me frown
I said "goodbye"
With your big eyes, and your big lies
With your big eyes, and your big lies
Is it me was I wrong to have trusted you
Did I see what I wanted, what wasn't true?
Was I wrong to go on like a little fool?
It's amazing what women in love will do
With your big eyes
And your big lies
With your big eyes
And your big lies

Cruising down the street on Hollywood and Vine for you, baby

Platinum and felt acrylics
Skim the paper for the critics
Baby's printing Elvis lyrics
On the copper bar
Late, Motel lounge is singin'
Spotlight on the band that's swingin'
Chateau Marmont memories fading
Hope is very far
Elvis where are you when I need you most?
White comp sequin jumpsuit ghost
Pick me up and make a toast
Champagne in the air
Tipping back, his head relaxing
Thank you very much and I'm laughing
All my chantilly lace catchin'
Baby, on the chandelier
Sweeping scents and blue hydrangia
Summer hail and summer stranger
Baby, he's in constant danger
Help is very far
You look like a Florida Native
Are you? I said, at the rate of
Slow molasses from the State of
Vermont with the Southern drawl
Elvis where are you when I need you most?
White comp sequin jumpsuit ghost
Pick me up and make a toast
Champagne in the air
Tipping back, his head relaxing
Thank you very much and I'm laughing
All my chantilly lace is catchin'
On the chandelier
He said he come to welcome warn me
Gesture diamond to adorn me
Come to be and see the one and only
For my final year
Well thank you
Elvis where are you when I need you most
White comp sequin jumpsuit ghost
Pick me up and make a toast
Champagne in the air
Tipping back, his head relaxing
Thank you very much an' I'm laughing
All my chantilly lace is catchin'
On that chandelier
It's catchin' on that chandelier [x2]
Where are you when I need you most?

You're like a fake diamond
Sparkling when the lights are on
But when the night time comes
And all the lights go off
You turn off with them
Where do you go
When the lights turn low, boy?
You're like an old film reel
Kissing me when the crowd can watch
But when the velvet falls
And the projector coughs
I can be sure you're gone
You say it's not true
But I know how you do boy
I'm like a child who belongs to nobody
So I wear you like my clothes
Hold you close to my body
Because you hurt so good
Feel so bad honey
I just want you to want me
Want you to want me
You're like a fake diamond
Sparkling in the moon and sun
You shine like the only one
But when the darkness comes
Baby you're on the run
Where do you go
When the lights turn low, boy?
You're like my ex-boyfriend
Kissing me when the camera's on
I'm candy for your arm
Look like a debutante
But I'm not what you want
You say it's not true
But I know how you do boy
I'm like a child who belongs to nobody
So I wear you like my clothes
Hold you close to my body
Because you hurt so good
Feel so bad honey
I just want you to want me
Want you to want me
I'm like a child who belongs to nobody
So I wear you like my clothes
Hold you close to my body
Because you hurt so good
Feel so bad honey

Hold you close to my body
Because you hurt so good
Feel so bad honey
I just want you to want me
Want you to want me

Hold you close to my body

'Bout your cheap fails

But soon I think you're fucking crazy as day is long
Man to man heart to heart
I love you but you drive me so far
Wish you well I'm that star

My old man is a bad man
But I can't deny the way he holds my hand
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
He doesn't mind I have a L.A crass way about me
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart
Swimming pool
Glimmering darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
Watch me in the swimming pool
Bright blue ripples, you
Sitting sipping on your black crystal, oh yeah
Light of my life, fire in my loins
Be a good baby, do what I want
Light of my life, fire in my loins
Gimme them gold coins
Gimme them coins
And I'm off to the races, races
Up Bacardi chases
Chasing me all over town
'Cause he knows I'm wasted,
Facing time again at Riker's Island
And I won't get out
Because I'm crazy, baby
I need you to come here and save me
I'm your little scarlet, starlet
Singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Ready for you
My old man is, a tough man
But he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
And he shows me, he knows me every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
In fact he says he thinks it's what he might like about me, admires me
The way I roll like a rolling stone
Likes to watch me in the glass room, bathroom
Chateau Marmont
Slipping on my red dress, putting on my make up
Glass film, perfume, cognac, lilac,
Fume, says it feels like heaven to him
Light of his life, fire of his loins
Keep me forever, tell me you want me
Light of your life, fire of your loins
Tell me you want me, gimme them coins
And I'm off to the races, races
Up Bacardi chases
Chasing me all over town
'Cause he knows i'm wasted, facing
Time again at Riker's,
Island and I won't get out
Because I'm crazy, baby
I need you to come here and save me
I'm your little scarlet, starlet
Singing in the garden,
Kiss me on my open mouth
Now I'm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is,
Tight and I am falling down
I can see your faces, shameless
Cipriani's basement
Love you, but I'm going down
God I'm so crazy, baby
I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
I'm your little harlet, starlet
Queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town
Sorry 'bout it
My old man is a thief, and
I'm gonna stay and pray with him till the end
But I trust in the decision of the law,
To watch over us
Take him when he may, if he may
I'm not afraid to say
That I'd die without him
Who else is gonna put up with me this way
I need you, I breathe you, I'll never leave you
They would rue the day, I was alone without you
You're lying with your gold chain on
Cigar of hanging from your lips
I said hon' you never looked so beautiful
As you do now my man
And we're off to the races, places
Ready set the gate is, down
And then we're going in
To Las Vegas, pay us
'Cause you know we'll race this
Honey it is time to spit
Boy you're so crazy, baby
I love you forever
Not maybe
You are my one true love
You are my one true love
You are my one true love

Blue hydrangea, cold cash divine
Cashmere, cologne and white sunshine
Red racing cars, sunset and vine
The kids were young and pretty
Where have you been? Where did you go?
Those summer nights seem long ago
And so is the girl you use to call
The queen of New York City
But if you send for me, you know I'll come
And if you call for me, you know I'll run
I'll run to you, I'll run to you
I'll run, run, run
I'll come to you, I'll come to you
I'll come, come, come
The power of youth is on my mind
Sunsets, small town, I'm out of time
Will you still love me when I shine
From words but not from beauty
My father's love was always strong
My mother's glamour lives on and on
Yet still inside, I felt alone
For reasons unknown to me
But if you send for me, you know I'll come
And if you call for me, you know I'll run
I'll run to you, I'll run to you
I'll run, run, run
I'll come to you, I'll come to you

And if you call I'll run, run, run
If you change your mind, I'll come, come, come
Blue hydrangea, cold cash divine
Cashmere, cologne and hot sunshine
Red racing cars, sunset and vine
And we were young and pretty

Ooh Baby, can't you hear out favorite song
Ooh Baby, make me wait a bit too long
I don't ever wanna stop, show me everything you got
I've done this before and I should know better
Ooh Baby what planet are you o-on?
What'cha waiting for?

Did you say you wanna dance with me?
Say you wanna put your hands on me
Did you say that there's a chance for me?
Are you ready now?
Did you say you wanna dance with me?
Should be taking off your pants for me
Are you ready for me finally?
Are you ready now?
Ooh Baby look at all your hard well friends
Ooh Baby thinking I don't understand
Cause I'm drinking diet coke a lot
Sucking on my lollipops,
I'm the one that grown up, but no one's better
Ooh Baby when you gonna be my man?
What'cha waiting for?
What'cha waiting for?
Did you say you wanna dance with me?

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright letting nice things go
Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Gold and made of flowers dangling
And I almost cried as I sold them all
I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no
But I gotta get to and from where I come
And it's gonna take money to go
Oh no, oh oh, oh oh...
In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
I said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows
Oh no, oh no, oh no...
I can do this once more
No man can keep me together
Been broken since I was born
Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright letting nice things go

Aaj baithe-bithaaye ye kya ho gaya
Dil ki har baat aankhon mein aane lagi
Main to pi ki nagariya...
( aa gaye ) -2 muskuraane ke din
Ladakhadaane ke din gunagunaane ke din
Maine paayal to paanvon mein baandhi nahi
Aur aavaaz ghungharu ki aane lagi
Main to pi ki nagariya...
Koi raahon mein kaliyaan bichhaane laga
Aur ishaaron se mujhako bulaane laga
Maine darpan abhi tak to dekha nahi
( aur bindiya ) -2 magar jhilamilaane lagi
Main to pi ki nagariya...
Aaj kaisi chali bheegii-bhiigi pavan
Sarasaraane laga mera naazuk badan
Maine palaken abhi tak jhukaai nahi
Neend kyon meri aankhon mein aane lagi

I get out, I'll get out of all your boxes
I get out, you can't hold me in these chains
I'll get out
Father free me from this bondage
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must change
Your stinkin' resolution
Is no type of solution
Preventin' me from freedom
Maintainin' your pollution
I won't support your lie no more
I won't even try no more
If I have to die, oh Lord
That's how I choose to live
I won't be compromised no more
I can't be victimised no more
I just don't sympathize no more
'cause now I understand
You just want to use me
You say "love" then abuse me
You never thought you'd loose me
But how quickly we forget
That nothin' is for certain
You thought I'd stay here hurtin'
Your guilt trip's just not workin'
Repressin' me to death
'cause now I'm choosin' life, yo
I'll take the sacrifice, yo
If everything must go, then go
That's how I choose to live
Heh... hehehehehe...
Ok, we gettin' there
At least I had a chunk
Aight ok, it's how I choose to live
Hehehe, awww
No more compromises
I see past your diguises
Blindin' through mind control
Stealin' my eternal soul
Appealin' through material
To keep me as your slave
But I get out
Oh, I get out of all your boxes
I'll get out
Oh, you can't hold me in these chains
I get out
Oh, I want out of social bondage
Knowin' my condition
Oh, is the reason I must change
See what you see is what you get
Oh, and you ain't seen nothin' yet
Oh, I don't care if you're upset
I could care less if you're upset
See it don't change the truth
And your hurt feeling's no excuse
To keep me in this box
Psychological locks
Repressin' true expression
Cementin' this repression
Promotin' mass deception
So that no one can be healed
I don't respect your system
I won't protect your system
When you talk I don't listen
Oh, let my Father's will be done
And just get out
Oh, just get out of all these bondage
Just get out
Oh, you can't hold me in chains
Just get out
All these traditions killin' freedom
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must change
I've just accepted what you said
Keepin' me among the dead
The only way to know
Is to walk then learn and grow
But faith is not your speed
Oh, you've had everyone believed
That you're the sole authority
Just follow the majority
Afraid to face reality
The system is a joke
Oh, you'd be smart to save your soul
Oh, when escape is mind control
You spent your life in sacrifice
To a system for the dead
Oh, are you sure...
Where is the passion in this living
Are you sure it's God you servin'
Obligated to a system
Getting less then you're deserving
Who made up these schools, I say
Who made up these rules, I say
Animal conditioning
Oh, just to keep us as a slave
Oh, just get out
Of this social purgatory
Just get out
All these traditions are alive
Just get out
Superstition killing freedom
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must die, ahh
Just get out
Just get out
Just get out
Let's get out
Let's get out
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must die
Just get out

Thought that I had lost you

When I thought I couldn't hold you
Knew the world had let me down
Should have took the time and told you
You keep my feet on the ground
I hope that you can hear me
Cause I know it's not profound
I just want you around,
I just need you around
I just want you around,
I just need you around
When I thought I was without you
I got used to being down
Was my fault I used to doubt you
But that ain't me next time around
Please believe me when I tell you
Cause all my words are bound
This is my cross so let me bear it
I was lost but now I am found, found, found
I just want you around,
I just need you around
I just want you around,
I just need you around
Took this love for granted
Kept my feelings under ground
Should have watered what I planted
Should have known what I had found
I'm not used to being lonely
I don't like the way it sounds
You're the only one I know yeah
Who don't turn my upside down
I just want you around,
I just need you around

Moving down the streams of my lifetime
Pools of fascination in my sleep
Cooling off the fire of my longing
Warming up my cold with in his heat
Melting down the walls of inhibition
Evaporating all of my fears
Baptizing me to complete submission
Desolving my condition with his tears
It's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years
It's just like the waters, the water
I ain't felt this way in years
Coursing through my senses he's prevailing
Floating through the space of my design
Drowning me i find my inside sailing
Drinking in the mainstream of his mind
Filling up the cup of my emotions
Spilling over into all I do
If only I could get lost in his ocean
Surviving on the thought of loving you
It's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years, in years
It's just like the water, the water
I ain't felt this way in years
Bathing in the fountain of his essence
He causes my expression to remain
Humbled on the mountain by his presence
Washing my intentions with his name
Sealing all the floodgates of his passion
Saving all his liquid for his own
Moisturizing me to satisfaction
In my imagination, oh no
He's pouring out his soul to me for hours and hours
Drawing out my nature with his hands
Yearning, I'm so thirsty for his power
Burning to be worthy of his land
It's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years, in years
It's just like the waters, the water
I ain't felt this way in years
Cleaning me, he's purging me, and moving me around
He's bathing and he's cleaning me, and moving me around
Around, and around and around. and around
Washing me, cleaning me, moving me around
He's purging me, he's been cleaning me and moving me around
And around. and around

What becomes of little boys
Who dreams are larger than life has ever shown them they should be
What becomes of little boys
Whose goals are bigger than anything in there reality
What happens to young men
Disappointed once again when they find out there not suppose to grow
Do their lives become a lie
Should they wither up and die
When they find out they deserve more than they know
And it's hard to be confused
When you find out you been used as a sacrifice for other peoples gain
And no matter what they say it's the same thing everyday
And no one seems concerned about your pain
What becomes of little boys
Who make a little too much noise
When their dreams have flown way beyond the clouds
Would you rather see them silent
Or would you rather see them violent
Cause they never had a reason to be proud
What becomes of little boys
What becomes of little boys
What becomes of little boys
What becomes of little boys

Rotating bodies, confusion of sound
Negative imagery, holding us down
Social delusion, clearly constructed
Human condition, morals corrupted
Trapped in reaction, lawlessness, war
Dissatisfaction from bowels to core
Devil's technology, strategy for
Human mythologies, urban folklore
Sick of psychology, counterfeit cure
Wicked theology, robbing the poor
Scheme demonology mislead the pure
Strictly strategically studying war
Light shown in darkness, image exposed
Few can see through the new emperor's clothes
Lustful this hustle turn humans to hoes
When the blind lead the blind
Just more trouble and woes
It's the mind that they chose
Its designed to stay closed
Standard of jokers, court just a logic
Sick looking cosmics, from schoolyards to college
Primitive man with civilize knowledge
System collapse and he still won't acknowledge
God is the saviour, studies behavior
Trying to fix the mix mind that he gave ya
Stiff-necked scholars on prescription meds
Wishing their problems were all in their heads
Moral dilemma, pride is the root
Misguided from youth, heart divided from truth
Egyptians and Grecians, spiritually dead
Imperially led, by the gods in their heads
Motives and thoughts
Industrial wealth
Global economy, in it for self
Heart full of madness, covered with kind
Pleasure designed to take over your mind
Furnished in godliness, painted in good
This tainted priesthood got real saints misunderstood
While classes in government, set up the veil
And cultivate minds for more mythical tales
Typical Hollywood follies good girl
While vice and corruption take over the world
Motives and thoughts
Check your motives and thoughts
Blind with the wickedness, deep in your heart
Modern day wickedness is all you've been taught
Lied to your neighbors, so you get ahead
Modern day trickery is all you've been fed
Motives and thoughts
Check your motives and thoughts
<@#Lauryn_Hill_Selah.txt#@>
Nothing can be done against the truth
No matter how we remain in denial
Wasting time, replacing time with each and every excuse
But that will only work a little while
Coping with despair
Knowing you're not there
Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool
So I blame it on the sun
Run away from everyone
Hoping to escape this ridicule
Trapped in misery
Wrapped so miserably
And his deception I wear it like a skin
Dying to maintain
While I keep trying to explain
A heart that never loved me to begin with
Oh I'm such a mess
I have no choice but to confess
That I have been desperately trying to belong
Lying to myself and everybody else
Refusing to admit my right was wrong
And then he came, Selah
And it means praise and meditation
And then he came, Selah
And it means did you think about that
And then he came, Selah
And it means praise and meditation
And then he came, Selah
And it means that you see
How beautiful his fruits still in denial of it's roots
My guilty heart behaves so foolishly
This treason from within that reasons with my sin
Won't be happy till it sees the death of me
Selfishly addicted to a life that I depicted
Conflicted 'cause it's not reality
All that's left of me
Oh I beg you desperately
Cause me to agree for what I know is best for me
Please save me from myself
I need to save me from myself
Please save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can hear you
The choices that I make have been nothing but mistakes
What a waste of useless space
Should I die before I wake
And all of my religion
I've fortified this prison
Obligated to obey, that the man's bad decision
Please save me from myself
I need you to save me from myself
Please save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can hear you
And then he came, Selah
And it means praise and meditation
And then he came, Selah
And it means did you think about that
And he came, Selah
And it means meditation
And then he came, Selah
And it means that it's you
And then it came
And then he came and he came and he came
And then he

A hundred million miracles
Are happ'ning ev'ry day

Miracle of changing weather
When a dark blue curtain

Pinned by the stars to the sky
Ev'ry flow'are
And tree is a treat to see
The air is very clean and dry

Puts words on a page
Writes on a page
With his brush
A musical friend
Writes the notes to blend
Suggested
By an idle thrush

Reads what they wrote

Every word
Puts all they wrote
In her lovely throat
And suddenly
A song is heard
Very pretty

I'm a girl, and by me that's only great!
I am proud that my silhouette is curvy,
That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait
With my hips kind of swivelly and swervy.
I adore being dressed in something frilly
When my date comes to get me at my place.
Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy,
Like a filly who is ready for the race!
When I have a brand new hairdo
With my eyelashes all in curl,
I float as the clouds on air do,
I enjoy being a girl!
When men say I'm cute and funny
And my teeth aren't teeth, but pearl,
I just lap it up like honey
I enjoy being a girl!
I flip when a fellow sends me flowers,
I drool over dresses made of lace,
I talk on the telephone for hours
With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!
I'm strictly a female female
And my future I hope will be
In the home of a brave and free male
Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl... Like... Me.
When men say I'm sweet as candy
As around in a dance we whirl,
It goes to my head like brandy,
I enjoy being a girl!
When someone with eyes that smoulder
Says he loves ev'ry silken curl
That falls on my iv'ry shoulder,
I enjoy being a girl!
When I hear the compliment'ry whistle
That greets my bikini by the sea,
I turn and I glower and I bristle,
But I happy to know the whistle's meant for me!
I'm strictly a female female
And my future I hope will be
In the home of a brave and free male
Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl... Like... Me.
<@#Lea_Salonga_I_Honestly_Love_You.txt#@>
Maybe I hang around here
Little more than I should
Both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know
I love you
I honestly love you
You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you must realize
That it's coming from my heart and not my head
I love you
I honestly love you
I'm not tryin' to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not tryin' to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say
I love you (i love you)
I honestly love you
If we both were born in another place and time
This moment might be ending with a kiss
There you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this
I love you
I honestly love you
I honestly, love you
I love you
<@#Lea_Salonga_I_Still_Believe_In_Love.txt#@>
After all the tears I've cried
You'd think I would give up on love
Get off this line
But maybe I might get it right this time
I was there as passion turned to pain
Sunshine turned to rainy days
Yet here I am
Ready to begin once again
All my life I've been a dreamer
Dreamin' dreams that always broke in two
But I still believe in love
And I love believing
Maybe you can make my dreams come true
Here content with who I am
I'm reachin' out my hand to him
Once again
At least I know I've made myself a friend
All my life I've been a dreamer
Dreamin' dreams that never quite came true
But I still believe in love
And I love believing
I'll keep on dreaming
Because I still believe in love
I still believe in love
And me
And you
I still believe in love
<@#Lea_Salonga_Part_Of_Your_World.txt#@>
Maybe he's right
Maybe there is something a matter with me
I just don't see how a world
That makes it wonderful things
Could be bad
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat
Wouldn't you think my collections complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos a plenty
I've got who's, it's, and what's it's galore
You want a Thing-A-Mabobs?
I've got twenty
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more!
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see wanna see them dancing
Walking around on those
What do you call them?
Oh, feet!
Flippen your fins you don't get to far
Legs are required for jumpin, dancin
Strolling along down the
What's that word again? Street
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin free
Wish I could be
Part of that world
What would I give
If I could live outta these waters
What would I pay to spend a day
Warm on the sand
Betcha on land they understand
Bet they don't reprimend their daughters
Bright young women
Sick of swimming
Ready to stand
And ready to know what the people know
Ask them my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it
What's the word... Burn
When's it my turn
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore
That shore up above
Out of the Sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world
<@#Lea_Salonga_Rainbow_Connection.txt#@>
Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows?
And what's on the other side
Rainbows have visions
And only illusions
Rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told
And some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong wait and see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who says that ev'ry wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on a morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star-gazing?
And what do you think we might see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic
Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud, sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing out happy, not sad
Sing, sing a song

I don't like to be alone in the night
And I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right
And I don't like to have the rain on my shoe
But I do love you, but I do love you
I don't like to see the sky painted gray
And I don't like when nothing's going my way
And I don't like to be the one with the blues
But I do love you, but I do love you
Love everything about the way you're loving me
The way you lay your head
Upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love everything you do, oh I do
I don't like to turn the radio on
Just to find I missed my favorite song
And I don't like to be the last with the news
But I do love you, but I do love you
Love everything about the way you're loving me
The way you lay your head
Upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love everything you do, oh I do
And I don't like to be alone in the night
And I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right
And I don't like to have the rain on my shoes
But I do love you but I do love you
But I do love you but I do love you

Baby, baby, baby, baby, listen what I say
Baby, baby, baby, baby, let me have my way
I'm gonna keep on knockin' till the door unlatches
You and me are gasoline and matches
Baby, baby, baby, baby, when it's cold and dark
Baby, baby, baby, baby, you make me feel a spark
Well I feel a spark and the fire catches
You and me are gasoline and matches
You pull my pin and you trip my wire
Yeah well you come in and set my heart on fire
You knock me out, you rock me off my axis
You and me are gasoline and matches
Baby, baby, baby, baby, when you make your move
Baby, baby, baby, baby, I can feel your groove
The resistance of a strong willed man's in ashes
You and me are gasoline and matches
Oh you pull my pin and you trip my wire
Yeah well you come in and set my heart on fire
You knock me out, you rock me off my axis
You and me You and me
Baby I'm incarcerated and I don't want out
Baby we should get related

You and me are Gasoline and Matches

<@#Leann_Rimes_Give.txt#@>
Everybody's reachin' for something
Every day pullin' and tugging
And always wantin' a little more
Holdin' on to her like an anchor
Treatin' those we love like strangers
Takin' names and keeping score
We all know, what we're really after
Somewhere along the road, we got it backwards
If you want to get love then give it
If you want to feel some forgiveness
Then you've gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own
If you want a friend then be one
A little bit of kindness, show some
You'll be surprised at how much finds it's way back home
It don't matter what it is
If you want it, give.
I been down right stubborn,
At one time or another,
And found it easier to bend.
I've had a shoulder to lean on
Been the one who got to be strong
And peace was waiting at both ends
I've felt the power, I've seen what it can do
It's seemed so simple, so simple that it's true
If you want to get love then give it
If you want to feel some forgiveness
Then you've gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own
If you want a friend then be one
A little bit of kindness, show some
You'll be surprised at how much finds it's way back home
It don't matter what it is
If you want it, give.
If you want a friend then be one

I've been catchin' a glance, do you like what you see?
Even across the rrom, your eyes been talkin' to me.
Easy to tell you've turned some heads
In your day
Hopin' you'll choose the next slow dance
To walk my way
Nothin' like a good lookin'.
Good lookin' man.
More 'bout you than meets the eye.
I want to know first hand.
Baby I've got this strong feelin'.
Strong as a woman can.
I'm lookin' into the face of love,
And it's a good lookin' man.
Hod did you get sweet fit
Right in each of thos arms?
Talkin' as if we're all alone,
Workin' your charm.
I'm likin' that edgy temper,
You try not to show.
Notice the shyness in the way,
You smile real slow.
Nothin' like a good lookin'.
Good lookin' man.
More 'bout you than meets the eye.
I want to know first hand.
Baby I've got this strong feelin'.
Strong as a woman can.
I'm lookin' into the face of love,
And it's a good lookin' man.
Come a little closer ...
Closer yet ...
The longer and longer I'm with you,
The better and better you get!!!
Nothin' like a good lookin'.

Don't act like I don't know what I'm talking about
Don't forget that I'm the one who knows you inside out
You can't even answer when I ask you what's wrong
Just how much longer can the silence go on?
Honestly
Honestly
There's trouble in your heart that you can't hide form me
Talk to me
Cause I can see
Your love ain't what it used to be
If I mean anything to you
Don't be afraid to turn me loose
I'm strong enough to face the truth
Honestly
Just say we stand a chance
And you're willing to try
Or say there's nothing left for you and tell me goodbye
We both know love has got to be an open door
And if it's time for you to fly
I can't hold you any more
Honestly
Honestly
There's trouble in your heart that you can't hide form me
Talk to me
Cause I can see
Your love ain't what it used to be

For all the nights you held me close
Warmed my heart when it was cold
When I was giving up
You gave me love
From some dark alley in my mind
You made a hidden dream unwind
Turned my stumbling blocks
To stepping stones
[Chorus:]
I'll get even with you
For the hard times you helped me through
I'll give it back to you
All the love you've given me
For the rest of my life
Everyday and every night
If it's the last thing I'll ever do
I'll get even with you
When the odds were against me
And I was lost with no will to go on
You wrapped your loving arms around my heart
Took my losin' hand and led me home
[Chorus]
I'll get even with you
For the hard times you helped me through
I'll give it back to you
All the love you've given me
For the rest of my life
Everyday and every night
If it's the last thing I'll ever do
I'll get even with you
If it's the last thing I ever do
I'll get even with you

Sometimes a time comes along
when it's time to, time to move on
You'll still be there in everything that I do
And wherever I go
I'll remember you
Leaving's not leaving
'Cause I'm not, leaving you behind
You'll always be with me, always be with me
Part of my heart for all time
Where I'm going , you're going
Even if it's just in my mind
Leaving's not leaving
I'm not leaving you behind
Moments shared there with you
They're the best times that I ever knew
They'll still be there when goodbyes are all though
I'll remember those days
I'll remember you
Leaving's not leaving
'cause I'm not, leaving you behind
You'll always be with me, always be with me
Part of my heart for all time
Where I'm going , you're going
Even if it's just in my mind
Leaving's not leaving
I'm not leaving you behind
I'll hold on the memories
'cause in my heart you'll be here with me
There's no reason to cry
Goodbye isn't really goodbye
Leaving's not leaving
'cause I'm not, leaving you behind
You'll always be with me, always be with me
Part of my heart for all time
Where I'm going , you're going
Even if it's just in my mind
Leaving's not leaving
I'm not leaving you behind
Leaving's not leaving
Not leaving you behind
I'm not leaving you

Leaving's not leaving

Can't see, can't breathe,
Can't get up off my knees.
I don't know what comes over me,
Whenever you come near.
Heart's poundin' in my chest
Little voice inside my head
I can't hear a word it said,
But the feelin's loud and clear.
Love must be tellin' me somethin'
Givin' me some kind of sign
Spellin' it out for me,
Love must be tellin' me
I must be fallin' tonight.
Well I've been in love and lost.
I swore us one and all,
No matter what the cost,
Gotta learn to live without.
No you weren't in my plans,
But baby here I am.
I still don't understand,
But I know there ain't no doubt.
Love must be tellin' me somethin'
Givin' me some kind of sign
Spellin' it out for me,
Love must be tellin' me
I must be fallin' tonight.
No you weren't in my plans,
But now baby here I am.

<@#Leann_Rimes_Middle_Man.txt#@>
There was a mountain and there were three trees
There was a good man and there were two thieves
A man called Barabas was doomed for the tree
But Jesus took the middle one and Barabas went free
I love that man in the middle because I know he first loved me
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary
The middle man made it possible that I could go free
A hill called Golgotha the place of a skull
No yellow flowers, no trees in bloom the scenery was so dull
Three crosses stood black and bold against a darkened sky
And not from pain but a broken heart that middle man died
I love that man in the middle because I know he first loved me
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary
The middle man made it possible that I could go free
I love that man in the middle because I know he first loved me
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary
The middle man made it possible that I could go free
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary
The middle man made it possible that I could go free.

Nowhere to go
All night took everything
Another nice try with Mr. Wrong
Late night TV on my horizon
National anthem and I'm barely hangin' on
Just a typical Saturday night
Feeling like the rest of my life
There was nothing new under the moon
Same old dance, same old tune
Just wishes on stars that never came true
Just one more night to get through
But there was nothing new under the moon, 'till you
Hey what a change
Hey what a concept
Here's a true heart waiting mine
News Flash! Who'd ever thought you could
Have the same feeling at the very same time?
Look at what your love's doing to me
I can't believe I used to believe
There was nothing new under the moon
Same old dance, same old tune
Just wishes on stars that never came true
Just one more night to get through
But there was nothing new under the moon, 'till you
Nothing new under the moon
Same old dance, same old tune
Just wishes on stars that never came true
Just one more night to get through
There was nothing new under the moon, 'till you
Nothin' new under the moon, 'till you
Nothin' new under the moon
Nothin' new under the moon, 'till you
Nothin' new under the moon
There was nothing new under the moon, 'till you

You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
one day to long
I'm the kind of woman who understands
How the road can be so hard on a traveling man
I don't mind giving you a little room to breathe
Then you go and take advantage of my generosity
I'm home, waiting
Alone, aching
Your times run out cause
Yesterday this love could have been saved
Just crawl back out ain't no way
You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
One day too long
You know, I ain't a once in a while kind of thang
You see, love is being here for each other
Even with you standing right here, right now
right in front of my face
You're still looking right through me
Well, let me clear something up for you honey
I called you up
Told you I was
Missing, needing
To be soothed by you
Keep your reasons
I'm done pleasing
Ain't it funny now
I'm leaving, and your the one who's being left behind
God sent me a man who will give me my time
You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
One day too long

Wish someone would tell me when
I won't think of you again.
I'll get past the emptiness and
Let a little happiness back in.
Pretending I don't care,
Leaves me half way there.
One of these, one of these days
I'll be completely over you.
Heaven knows how long it will take.
And one of these, one of these days
I'll find somebody who'll love your memories away
One of these days
One of these days
Some how, some way
Ever since you've been gone,
Time has a way of dragging on and on.
Friends drive by for company,
But I'm not much company for long.
Oh I'll get past what was,
If I live long enough
One of these, one of these days
I'll be completely over you.
Heaven knows how long it will take.
And one of these, one of these days
I'll find somebody who'll love your memories away (some way)
One of these days
Some how, some way
One of these, one of these days
I'll be completely over you.
Heaven knows how long it will take.
And one of these, one of these days
I'll find somebody who'll love your memories away

Mama's high heels, cherry lipstick
And a goodwill dress
Play pretending, danced for the mirror
A fairytale princess
[Chorus:]
Pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thing soon you will know
Pretty things you think you need
But don't make you beautiful
Pretty things will rot with love
Pretty things will fade with time
It's what's inside that makes you shine
My pretty thing
It's only natural, the table's turning
And gracefully I'll learn
How to cradle the one who raised me
Will be too fragile for this world
[Chorus]
Selfless and faithful
As good as you should be
Open and fearless
Oh, what a gift you gave

Feel the cold wind blowing-winter's coming on
Tis the season, so they say
If you need help believing 'cause your spirit ain't too strong
Hold my hand--we'll push that cloud away
Put a little holiday in your heart
It'll put a little shuffle in your step
Give you a song that you can sing
With a melody you can't forget
And if you want to join in a little harmony
To keep the world from tearin' apart
Well you know where to look
Yeah--you gotta put a little holiday in your heart
There's a man on the corner who doesn't have a name
People pass and turn their heads away
But to share a simple kindness would set your heart aflame
And you'll get more than you'll ever give away
Put a little holiday in your heart
It'll put a little shuffle in your step
Give you a song that you can sing
With a melody you can't forget
And if you want to join in a little harmony
To keep the world from tearin' apart
Well you know where to look
Yeah--you gotta put a little holiday in your heart
It starts with you, it starts with me
That ain't no stranger, he's family and it don't matter if we agree
It all comes down to love
Put a little holiday in your heart
It'll put a little shuffle in your step
Give you a song that you can sing
With a melody you can't forget
And if you want to join in a little harmony
To keep the world from tearin' apart
Well you know where to look
Yeah--you gotta put a little holiday in your heart

Saw you across the room
Felt somethin' stir inside my soul
Knew I'd never be the same
Now that love had taken hold
Then when you touched me
There was no doubt
You understood what my heart was all about
And the rest is history
The story of you and me
For all eternity
The record will show
We'll fill up the pages
Romance for the ages
There for the world to see
The rest is history
Before we spoke a word
My heart told me you were the one
When you pressed your hand to mine
I knew my life had just begun
Like some old movie
Music filled the night
Lost held each other tight.
And the rest is history
The story of you and me
For all eternity
The record will show
We'll fill up the pages
Romance for the ages
There for the world to see
The rest is history
And the rest is history
The story of you and me
For all eternity

Oh my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
As time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
To me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea
To the sea
To the open arms
Of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home
Wait for me.
Oh my love

I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And I know that time goes by so slowly
That time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"
But they're really saying, "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah

I been searching for you
I heard a cry within my soul
I never had a yearning quite like this before
Now that you are walking right through my door
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
A sacred gift of heaven
For better worse, wherever
And I would never let somebody break you down
Until you cried, never
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
At every time I've always known
That you where there, upon your throne
A lonely queen without her king
I longed for you, my love forever
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

Haven't you heard it could be coming tonight
Just leave all your things and come and celebrate life
This time is for love, not for heartache and strife
There's no time for games and there's no time to fight
Just feel all the love that is in the air,
The feeling so good and it's everywhere,

Call yourself a family man
Talking 'bout the families plan
To bring the sweet talk deep and down
Works better than an average pick up line
You put your woman out to pasture
On the promises you gave her last year
Peace and love is on your head
And the grass is greener playing 'round
Your family seed is what you spread
Chorus:
Buddy my friend
Who you think you fooling
Buddy my friend
And what about your woman
Buddy my friend
Who you think you fooling
Buddy my friend
I don't care what you do
But there's a hypocrite that lives in you
Cause if your woman gave her love
In the same way that you do
You'd feel a-way
You know you would
Chorus
Buddy my friend
Treat her that way
And you'll be X-D soon
Buddy X-D soon
<@#Lenny_Kravitz_Butterfly.txt#@>
You are the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen
You shine just like sunlight rays
On a winter snow
I just had to tell you so
Your eyes sparkle as the stars
Like the moon they glow
Your smile could light the world on fire
Or did you know ?
Your mind's full of everything
That I want to know
I just had to let you know
I just had to tell you so
You're my butterfly
Fly high
Fly fly fly
<@#Lenny_Kravitz_Eleutheria.txt#@>
My life is perfect
Because I accept it as it is
The sunshine is shining
Because it is what it is
What a beautiful feeling it's bringing
All the birds in the sky are singing
Eleutheria the fire is burning
Eleutheria the tables are turning
A new day is dawning
Because it is time for a change
With new consciousness forming
There comes a new day
Oh we got to got to keep on trying
When the children are cold and alone
And are crying
You got to understand
Eleutheria the bells are ringing
Eleutheria the people are singing
Eleutheria the people are yearning
Eleutheria this world keeps on turning
Turning
What a beutiful feeling
It's bringing
All the birds in the sky are singing
You got to understand
Eleutheria the fire is burning
Eleutheria the tables are turning
Eleutheria the bells are ringing
The people keep singing
The fire is burning
The tables are turning
Got to keep on
Keep on keeping on
<@#Lenny_Kravitz_Fear.txt#@>
I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of children who must oblige
To tainted dreams and polluted seas
The missing moon and melting trees
A mist of doom and clouds of pain
Toxic waste and acid rain
The passing of our ignorance
A lifetime spent in abstinence
Living in fear
Living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
Living in fear
Living in fear
Conditioning to hate and them to blame
Their search for God is just the same
Machines for hearts, how warped a view
Forgetting that they're human too
Waiting like a branded steer
Who first will launch the burning spear
When every day may be your last
You think we'd learn from our past
Living in fear
Living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
Living in fear
Living in fear
I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of so many lives denied
More wounded soldiers, another burning flag
And rows and rows of body bags
No time for tears as the night falls cold
The days survivors crawl back in their holes
As for the rest they're shipped back home
Home to the rows of white tomb stones
Living in fear
Living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
Living in fear
Living in fear
<@#Lenny_Kravitz_Fly_Away.txt#@>

Over the seas in all degrees

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away

Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun

I'm sorry if I tell you that you don't smell like roses
I'm tired of all the hypocrisy and all your silly poses
But honey what I tell you is the truth
So don't turn away
When I said I accepted you
I was here to stay
And I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around
Oh, I'll be around
I'm sorry if I offended you
But don't walk away
But someone's gotta speak the truth
About the things you say
You can't just dog everybody
Who's supposed to be your friend
'Cause honey your dish is full
And your leash is waitin' on a friend
And I'll be around

You're hurt inside
Because there's a hole
You need some time
To be alone
Then you will find
What you always know
I'm the one who really loves you baby
I've been knocking at your door
[Chorus]
As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I've seen you cry
Into the night
I feel your pain
Can I make it right
I realized there's no end inside
Yet still I'll wait
For you to see the light
I'm the one who really loves you baby
I can't take it anymore
[Chorus]
You are my only I've ever known
That makes me feel this way
Couldn't on my own
I want to be with you until we're old
You have the love you need right in front of you
Please come home

It's barely morning
Cars are roaring
The city's moving fast
My momma's calling
But I'm stalling
Living in the past
It's time to face the world in front of me
And make the best of this reality
I'm gonna push my life today
Push to make a better way
Gonna push 'cause I got to carry on
I'm gonna push the clouds away
Push so I can see the way
Gonna push until I find my way home
The jungle's swarming
Beasts are crawling
They're all along my path
But God's adoring,
Love is pouring
I'm gonna take a bath
I am swimming in a violent sea
Trying to find out who I'm gonna be
I'm gonna push my life today
Push to make a better way
Gonna push 'cause I got to carry on
I'm gonna push the clouds away
Push so I can see the way
Gonna push until I find my way home
I can feel it come together
I know God has a plan, oh yeah
Oh,I see the kingdom through the shadows
But it's all gonna pass
I'm gonna push
'Cause my Lord ain't gonna let it last
I'm gonna push my life today
Push to make a better way
Gonna push 'cause I got to carry on, oh yeah

Where do I live
Where is my wife?
I am alone
What's life worth living for?
Where am I going and what am I looking towards?
Where are my kids having their fights?
Calling my name so I can kiss their sores
I'm just a man on the run
It's a bore
So father can you tell me again
Father can you tell me again that I'm livin'
'Til I meet you on that day on the other side
I'm internationally known
With platinum and gold
I've got millions sold
But after the party, I'm left standing in the cold
I would like to be a simple man
I'd buy me a farm and live off the land
Could a wife and some children be better than being in band?
So father can you tell me again
Father can you tell me again that I'm livin'
'Til I meet you on that day on the other side
On the other side
So father can you tell me again
Father can you tell me again that I'm livin'

I'm thinking of taking
The easy way out
Open the window
I'll fall to the ground
I could do it -- wouldn't be much too it
I gotta little place here in the city
It's kind of small and dirty, it's a bedsitter
And there's a lot of us living here
Wall to wall in one big house
And when the night comes 'round
I can see a lot of lonely lights
There are people in there breathing
But it don't seem right
In the streets way down below me
I'm listening for just a sound
But nobody comes around
In bedsitter land
And there's a man below me on the balcony
Crying to be heard
Screaming to be heard
I'm haunted by his words
And the people in the street just shrug their shoulders
Saying he's disturbed
He's in another world
Screaming at the birds
Crying to be heard
I hear his every word
I've slept in the gutter on a summer's day
Oh I've bummed cigarettes in the night cafes
I've joined the breadline
Believe I got a deadline
I gotta little place here in the city
It's kind of small and dirty, it's a bedsitter
And there's a lot of us living here
Wall to wall in one big house
And when the night comes 'round
I can see a lot of lonely lights
There are people in there breathing
But it don't seem right
In the streets way down below me
I'm listening for just a sound
But nobody comes around
The lights are going down
Nobody comes around
In bedsitterland

Well, she talks in her sleep
About the men that she meets
With so much passion
In the morning i ask
But she takes me to task
Says i'm overreacting
She's a woman, playing a woman's game
When i ask her, she looks at me like i'm strange
I say, don't look away, babe
When i'm talking to you
Don't look away, babe
It'll do you no good
I'm into your game, babe
I been listening to you
Don't look away babe
Don't look away, oh no
Well, she sits on the phone
Like she's here on her own
Making these calls to no one
Now she slides out a ten
Says she's seeing a friend
She's got so much going on
She's a woman, playing a woman's game
When i ask her
She looks at me like i'm strange

Don't look away babe
Don't look away, oh no
Well, i follow her down to some part of town
Where we've never been before
There's a car in the drive, and a man sits inside
I gotta stop her, before she gets in
She's a woman, playing a woman's game
When i ask her
She looks at me like i'm insane
I say, don't look away, babe

Jeanette was a dancer
I suppose I knew her well
Her feet danced miracles
I was lost within her spell
Jeanette knew a singer
Was the leader of some band
Looked just like a boy
And stood just like a man
And it rains all down the avenue
Yes it rains all down the avenue
Just for you
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you
The kids in the back street cry
You hear their voices in your brain
The world is full of hungry souls
Behind the window panes
Little Jenny on the high wire
Slow motion as she fell
Sometimes I think the wire is me
The tragedy as well
And it rains all down the avenue
Oh yes it rains all down the avenue
It rains all down the avenue
Just for you
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you
I work on the west side
Jeanette I pulled your strings
I stood upon the pavement
I never owned a thing
And still I am the singer
I know my song so well
The rain falls through my eyes
And lands below the shell
And it rains all down the avenue
Yes it rains all down the avenue
Oh yes it rains all down the avenue
Just for you boy
Just for you
Just for you boy
Just for you

Standing here alone with you
Wondering what it is that I'm supposed to do
And there you are with the love light in your eye
The bridges are burnt down
Your arms are open wide
Am I in too deep or should I swim to the shore
Is this the real thing?
I don't know but I've never been here before
And I feel a thunder in my heart that I can't control
I feel a thunder in my heart
Should I walk away or follow my soul?
I feel a thunder in my heart
Where it comes from I just don't know
Oh no, oh no
There's a storm ragin' deep in my soul
There's a howlin' wind that I just can't control
There'sa fire inside me I can't explain
Every time you touch me my love falls like rain
I've only known you for an hour or more
The time is standin' still
Your love has opened up the door
I feel a thunder in my heart
It takes my breath away
I feel a thunder in my heart
Will I ever be the same?
I feel a thunder in my heart
It's telling me you're here to stay
Oh no, oh no
There's a thunder in my heart
There's a thunder in my heart
There's a thunder in my heart
There's a thunder in my heart
Take me baby I'm all yours
Do just what you wanna do with my love
Let's not let the night overtake us
'Cause what's happening right now may make or break us
Do you feel the way I do?
Open up your heart now baby

Takin' my breath away

People die laughing upon the ground
They don't know why they fall
I have got nothing, at least so I say
Got my song and my music that's all
People look worried crowding around
Messing around with their dreams
Tomorrow they'll wake up in a new life
And they'll start all over again
Because tomorrow is the first day
Of the rest of your life
You just remember when you're worried
Everything is gonna be alright
Ah yes tomorrow is the first day
Of the rest of your life
You just remember when you're worried
Everything is gonna be alright
Come on you people all over the world
Realise you're one and the same
Tomorrow you'll wake up in a new life
And you'll start all over again, oh yes you will
Oh yes tomorrow is the first day
Of the rest of your life
Look you just remember when you're worried
Everything is gonna be alright
Oh yes tomorrow is the first day

O gather up the brokenness
And bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vow
The splinters that you carry
The cross you left behind
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind
And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
Behold the gates of mercy
In arbitrary space
And none of us deserving
The cruelty or the grace
O solitude of longing
Where love has been confined
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind
O see the darkness yielding
That tore the light apart
Come healing of the reason
Come healing of the heart
O troubled dust concealing
An undivided love
The heart beneath is teaching
To the broken heart above
Let the heavens falter
Let the earth proclaim
Come healing of the altar
Come healing of the name
O longing of the branches
To lift the little bud
O longing of the arteries
To purify the blood
And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
O let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb

It's coming through a hole in the air,
From those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It's coming from the feel
That this ain't exactly real,
Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
From the wars against disorder,
From the sirens night and day,
From the fires of the homeless,
From the ashes of the gay:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming through a crack in the wall
On a visionary flood of alcohol
From the staggering account
Of the Sermon on the Mount
Which I don't pretend to understand at all.
It's coming from the silence
On the dock of the bay,
From the brave, the bold, the battered
Heart of Chevrolet
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming from the sorrow in the street,
The holy places where the races meet
From the homicidal bitchin'
That goes down in every kitchen
To determine who will serve and who will eat.
From the wells of disappointment
Where the women kneel to pray
For the grace of God in the desert here
And the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State!
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.
It's coming to America first,
The cradle of the best and of the worst.
It's here they got the range
And the machinery for change
And it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's here the family's broken
And it's here the lonely say
That the heart has got to open
In a fundamental way:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming from the women and the men.
O baby, we'll be making love again.
We'll be going down so deep
The river's going to weep,
And the mountain's going to shout Amen!
It's coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the lunar sway,
Imperial, mysterious,
In amorous array
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Sail on, sail on
I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
That Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
This little wild bouquet
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can't seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
There's no one in sight.
And we're still making love
In My Secret Life.
I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I'd die for the truth
In My Secret Life.
Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I'll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of My Secret Life.
Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it's either black or white.
Thank G-d it's not that simple
In My Secret Life.
I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.
<@#Leonard_Cohen_Iodine.txt#@>
I needed you, I knew I was in danger
Of losing what I used to think was mine
You let me love you till I was a failure,
You let me love you till I was a failure
Your beauty on my bruise like iodine
I asked you if a man could be forgiven
And though I failed at love, was this a crime?
You said, Don't worry, don't worry, darling
You said, Don't worry, don't you worry, darling
There are many ways a man can serve his time
You covered up that place I could not master
It wasn't dark enough to shut my eyes
So I was with you, O sweet compassion
Yes I was with you, O sweet compassion
Compassion with the sting of iodine
Your saintly kisses reeked of iodine
Your fragrance with a fume of iodine
And pity in the room like iodine
Your sister fingers burned like iodine
And all my wanton lust was iodine
My masquerade of trust was iodine
And everywhere the flare of iodine
<@#Leonard_Cohen_It_Seemed_The_Better_Way.txt#@>
Seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
Now it's much too late
To turn the other cheek
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today
I wonder what it was
I wonder what it meant
First he touched on love
Then he touched on death
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today
I better hold my tongue
I better take my place
Lift this glass of blood
Try to say the grace
Seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
But now it's much too late
To turn the other cheek
Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today
I better hold my tongue
I better take my place
Lift this glass of blood
Try to say the grace
<@#Leonard_Cohen_Leaving_The_Table.txt#@>
I'm leaving the table
I'm out of the game
I don't know the people
In your picture frame
If I ever loved you or no, no
It's a crying shame if I ever loved you
If I knew your name
You don't need a lawyer
I'm not making a claim
You don't need to surrender
I'm not taking aim
I don't need a lover, no, no
The wretched beast is tame
I don't need a lover
So blow out the flame
There's nobody missing
There is no reward
Little by little
We're cutting the cord
We're spending the treasure, oh, no, no
That love cannot afford
I know you can feel it
The sweetness restored
I don't need a reason
For what I became
I've got these excuses
They're tired and lame
I don't need a pardon, no, no, no, no, no
There's no one left to blame
I'm leaving the table
I'm out of the game
I'm leaving the table
I'm out of the game
<@#Leonard_Cohen_Lover_Lover_Lover.txt#@>
I asked my father
I said, "Father change my name"
The one I'm using now it's covered up
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame
[Chorus: x2]
Yes and lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover
Come back to me
He said, "I locked you in this body
I meant it as a kind of trial
You can use it for a weapon
Or to make some woman smile"
[Chorus: x2]
"Then let me start again," I cried
"Please let me start again
I want a face that's fair this time
I want a spirit that is calm"
[Chorus: x2]
"I never, never turned aside," he said
"I never walked away
It was you who built the temple
it was you who covered up my face"
[Chorus: x2]
And may the spirit of this song
May it rise up pure and free
May it be a shield for you
A shield against the enemy
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Leonard_Cohen_Teachers.txt#@>
I met a woman long ago
Her hair the black that black can go,
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Soft she answered, no.
I met a girl across the sea,
Her hair the gold that gold can be,
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Yes, but not for thee.
I met a man who lost his mind
In some lost place I had to find,
Follow me, the wise man said,
But he walked behind.
I walked into a hospital
Where none was sick and none was well,
When at night the nurses left
I could not walk at all.
Morning came and then came noon,
Dinner time a scalpel blade
Lay beside my silver spoon.
Some girls wander by mistake
Into the mess that scalpels make.
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to break.
One morning I woke up alone,
The hospital and the nurses gone.
Have I carved enough my Lord?
Child, you are a bone.
I ate and ate and ate,
No, I did not miss a plate, well
How much do these suppers cost?
Well take it out in hate.
I spent my hatred everyplace,
On every work, on every face,
Someone gave me wishes
And I wished for an embrace.
Several girls embraced me, then
I was embraced by men,
Is my passion perfect?
No, do it once again.
I was handsome, I was strong,
I knew the words of every song.
Did my singing please you?
No, the words you sang were wrong.
Who is it whom I address,
Who takes down what I confess?
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to rest.
Oh teachers are my lessons done?
I cannot do another one.
They laughed and laughed and said
Well child,
Are your lessons done?
Are your lessons done?
Are your lessons done?
<@#Leonard_Cohen_Tennessee_Waltz.txt#@>
Written by Redd Stewart and Pee Wee King
Additional verse: Leonard Cohen
I was dancing with my darlin'
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced him to my loved one
And while they were waltzing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.
She comes dancing through the darkness
To the Tennessee Waltz
And I feel like I'm falling apart
And it's stronger than drink
And it's deeper than sorrow
This darkness she's left in my heart.
<@#Leonard_Cohen_The_Guests.txt#@>
One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few
And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh love I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
Oh I need you now
And those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weep begin
And "Welcome, welcome" cries a voice
"Let all my guests come in."
And no one knows where the night is going
And all go stumbling through that house
in lonely secrecy
Saying "Do reveal yourself"
or "Why has thou forsaken me?"
And no one knows where the night is going
All at once the torches flare
The inner door flies open
One by one they enter there
In every style of passion
And no one knows where the night is going
And here they take their sweet repast
While house and grounds dissolve
And one by one the guests are cast
Beyond the garden wall
And no one knows where the night is going
Those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weep begin
Those who earnestly are lost
Are lost and lost again
And no one knows where the night is going
One by the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The broken-hearted many
The open-hearted few
And no one knows where the night is going
<@#Leonard_Cohen_The_Gypsys_Wife.txt#@>
And where, where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight
I've heard all the wild reports, they can't be right
But whose head is this she's dancing with on the threshing floor
whose darkness deepens in her arms a little more
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
Ah the silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe
A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee
She says, "My body is the light, my body is the way"
I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
Too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove
These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood
And there is no man or woman who can't be touched
But you who come between them will be judged
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
<@#Leonard_Cohen_The_Throne_Of_Desire.txt#@>
(Written By Cohen, Performed In "Night Magic")
(Michael) Their bodies Triumphant
Their power unfurled
I know I am nothing
And women the world!
A slave to their favours
Their no and their yes
I'm crushed in the crease
Of a cotton dress
And I'm dead except
In their company
And I'm only at rest
When they motion to me
And night after night
I turn to myself
And I raise them
Out of my panic
And they come to me
Willing at last
Inflamed and fast
Mutual and graphic.
And suddenly they drill my heart
With cavities of absence
And they cover their thighs
With cellophane
And they cover their breasts
With a shadow
And they nail my good right hand
To a wall in the attic
O take me away
From the thorns and the fire
And let me recline
On the Throne of Desire
From the Throne of Desire
I make this solemn decree
Every woman I want
Will want, will want, will want
Will more than want me!
O o o
<@#Leonard_Cohen_There_Is_A_War.txt#@>
There is a war between the rich and poor,
A war between the man and the woman.
There is a war between the ones who say there is a war
And the ones who say there isn't.
Why don't you come on back to the war, that's right, get in it,
Why don't you come on back to the war, it's just beginning.
Well I live here with a woman and a child,
The situation makes me kind of nervous.
Yes, I rise up from her arms, she says "I guess you call this love"
I call it service.
Why don't you come on back to the war, don't be a tourist,
Why don't you come on back to the war, before it hurts us,
Why don't you come on back to the war, let's all get nervous.
You cannot stand what I've become,
You much prefer the gentleman I was before.
I was so easy to defeat, I was so easy to control,
I didn't even know there was a war.
Why don't you come on back to the war, don't be embarrassed,
Why don't you come on back to the war, you can still get married.
There is a war between the rich and poor,
A war between the man and the woman.
There is a war between the left and right,
A war between the black and white,
A war between the odd and the even.
Why don't you come on back to the war, pick up your tiny burden,
Why don't you come on back to the war, let's all get even,
Why don't you come on back to the war, can't you hear me speaking?

[Valjean is standing over Marius at the barricade.]
Valjean
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die
Let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

Enjolras
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Combeferre
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Courfeyrac
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!!
All
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Feuilly
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
All
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!

Will the world remember you
When you fall?
Could it be your death
Means nothing at all?
Is your life just one more lie?

Gone by

Marius
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone
Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came.
From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now!
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade...
At dawn.
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me.
[The ghosts of those who died on the barricade appear.]
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more.
[The ghosts fade away.]
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more...

We've guns enough, but ammunition's short
Marius
Let me go into the streets
There are bodies all around
Ammunition to be had
Lots of bullets to be found!

I won't let you go, it's too much of a chance!
Marius
The same is true for any man here!

Let me go. He's no more than a boy.
I am old, I have nothing to fear.

And they will be met

And if I should die in the fight to be free
Where the fighting is hardest
There will I be
Let them come if they dare
We'll be there!

You at the barricade listen to this
No one is coming to help you to fight
You're on your own
You have no friends
Give up your guns - or die!

Javert
Listen my friends
I have done as I said
I have been to their lines
I have counted each man
I will tell what I can
Better be warned
They have armies to spare
And the danger is real
We will need all our cunning
To bring them to heel.
Enjolras
Have faith
If you know what their movements are
We'll spoil their game
There are ways that a people can fight
We shall overcome their power

I have overheard their plans
There will be no attack tonight
They intend to starve us out
Before they start a proper fight
Concentrate their force
Hit us from the right.

'cause when it comes down to guns, nigga, I sleep with 'em
See, we can sweep with 'em 'cause it get deep with 'em
And when it comes down to drugs, I'm on the streets with 'em
[Lil Wayne]
Nasty case, nigga run up in your crib, crash the place
Mask the face, automatic attach to waist
You bastards play? Then it get awful and bad
There will be no more walkin for dad, and it's off with your head
And they gon' either get it right, or they get it at night
And when they spit, it lick his ass twice like 20 damn dice
Henny and ice is what I prefer, but light on the rocks
I pack them clips tight on them glocks and light up your block
And if there's coke involved, then your throat's involved
I get the toaster and roll up and smoke most of y'all
Me and my nigga, Super Sosa, run up in your crib
while your grandma watchin Oprah, jag her up and rope her
If you wan' grudge, chances slim like Ethiopia
If you want drugs, I got more flavors than Fruitopia
Recognize it's real and nuttin udder than that
Cause one from the mac'll have blood coverin your back, ha?
(Hook-4x [Lil Wayne])
Who wan' beef with 'em?
Who wan' creep with 'em?
'cause when it comes down to guns, nigga, I sleep with 'em
See, we can sweep with 'em 'cause it get deep with 'em
And when it comes down to drugs, I'm on the streets with 'em
[Lil Wayne]
Who wan' beef with a nigga? Creep with a nigga?
When it comes down to guns, look, I sleep with them triggas
<@#Lil_Wayne_Bloodline.txt#@>
The streets make the hustlas
Hustlas make the world go round
The world is made of keys, ounces and pounds
The keys, ounces and pounds is made from hustlas
See how shit come back round for ya
Gotta cop it, chop it and cook it
See how shit come back round for ya
Gotta kick in the oven now watch it bubble
And you can knock on my door
But you can't knock the hustle
But I- it's like a game of twenty-one and I got nineteen
And my Jake but I put more 'd' on me
Lil' Weezy Wee gon' eat that's how it is
Got insurance on the floor man I'm that positive
And I'm shaggy in the saggy lens
Me an my squad in the paddy wagon tally Benz
And you know I put the mags on that
.45 mack with the flash on that
Who want it
Everybody sing along
[Chorus: x2]
Now I'm a ride 'cause I got riding in my bloodline
And I'm a shine 'cause I got shining in my bloodline
I get that dough 'cause I got hustle in my bloodline
I bleed concrete
And when I move, I move out with the raw
I move out with the squad
To his album we ride we so mob
I throw lives and lowest to live
For my loaf of bread the people's player
I did what the culture said
And I live by the coast of Nostre Cid
Fuck around I'll knock your shoulder from your head
Get it right I'm a soldier till I'm dead
This kid is white with buttonholes inside that bled
I'm pumping O's with lots of hay
I'm so high and really I don't even know why
And oh I just go buy a whole house
And lay my mat down lay her back down
But I never put my mack down
You see the thug in me
You know Weezy he the young son of Bubba-be
Buy my basketball shorts with a thunder be
If you want it then come to me
I'm right here
[Chorus: x2]
I'm G'd up
Only follow the code of the streets
Live bad to die good
Know how to move when hustling by the days with no food
But just so I can eat
And ain't it a bitch
And if you see me getting fat I'm probably getting rich
And you probably can see me for some crack before six
And after that it's all bricks
A fake and my palm is wrapped around this eight
And my arm because the dirty south is straight Vietnam
I skate with the bomb
I'm asking you don't play with me at all
Shots hit your ass and make three of y'all
It'll take three of y'all to fill one of my shoe prints
Cause I did and do shit that's better than new shit
Fit for two clips
The kid is a nuisance
Aw man, he's inspired by his own gangsta music
And the Blueprint
Cruising through stoop with the ewe lit
Like ooh shit this is more than weed, it's 500 Degreez
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Lil_Wayne_Coco.txt#@>
[Intro]
I'm sorry for the wait, I'm sorry for the wait
Tha Carter gon' be late so I cooked up a tape
The garden's full of snakes so I had to escape
Lil homie gon' be straight, lil' homie gon' be straight
[Hook]
This that Sorry 4 The Wait 2
And I'm sorry for the wait too
I told myself to save yourself cause I can't save you
I send my goons to kill somebody, I need head proof
Fuck, this that Sorry 4 The Wait 2
I ain't trippin', I got Barbie, I got Drake too
I send my goons to kill somebody, I need head proof
Then they come through and sit it on my coffee table
[Verse 1]
Who kept this shit together? Nigga, me, that's who
Who was there when niggas left? Nigga, me, that's who
Cash Money is an army, I'm a one man army
And if them niggas comin' for me, I'm goin' out like Tony
Now I don't want no problems, I just want my money
Ain't gotta hold no conversation or my luggage
Tell whoever's countin' that I'm on a hundred
Birdman Jr., more like Ugly Duckling
[Bridge]
Takin' over, now I'm takin' over
Think it's over? Bitch I'm thinkin' forward
I'm sippin' lean out a glass, nigga
All I got is Young Money, no more Cash, nigga
[Hook]
And this that Sorry 4 The Wait 2
No longer am I my brother's keeper, Cain and Abel
Young Money sharp, I'm still eatin', I just chipped my tooth
Tell them niggas no love lost cause I ain't got shit to lose
I told myself to save yourself cause I can't save you
I send my goons to kill somebody, I need head proof
I found a needle in a haystack, put the thread through
I tried to stitch the wound back up but I just bled through
[Verse 2]
It's compensation over conversation
Lord I must got blurry vision, a nigga's got two faces
Lord, this game is a vampire
But you gotta protect your neck, it'll suck you dry like raisins, lord
But fuck that, nigga
Gun drawn out, fuck that, nigga, I'ma ball out
The day you met me is when Hell froze
On the day I left is when it thawed out
I'm still in the buildin', I just have to knock a couple walls down
Have to kick y'all out
Life is a movie but sometimes a nigga get too tired of watchin' and walk out
[Bridge]
Takin' over, now I'm takin' over
Dropped the Sorry 4 The Wait until the wait is over
Sippin' lean out a flask, nigga
And all I do is smoke, fuckin' thrash, nigga
[Hook]
And this the Sorry 4 The Wait 2
Fuck these haters, throw your board up if you skate too
I send my goons to kill somebody, I need head proof
Then they come through and sit it on my coffee table
Tunechi, niggas don't appreciate you
You've been down since day 1, it meant nothin' on take 2
Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow and to say too
But I graduated from that bullshit, now I hate school
[Outro]
And now I'm takin' over, now I'm takin' over
Old me dead and gone, that's who I'm prayin' over
Might have to go back to slangin' yola 'til the wait is over
If so then I got bakin' soda, I got bakin' soda
<@#Lil_Wayne_Enemy_Turf.txt#@>
When I say I don't give a fuck
I mean that yeah
When them niggas brains is getting bust
I done seen that yeah
If a shipment was coming in
I need a lot of that wodie
I need a sixty-forty nigga
And no chargin' that wodie
You done heard about Michael Jackson
And shiggidy shit
But you ain't never heard about me
When I'm flissin a bitch
Niggas shoulders gettin knocked
Clean off of they head
See that red dot comin from
Me and my girlfriend
Cause I wants mine
I needs mine
And I'm about to get mine
At these times
Look lil' daddy
You ain't got to worry about none of these other niggas
You needs to be worried about when Juvi comin to get ya
Look, I make a phone call to the big dog
Y'all bitches better handle y'all business before I hit y'all
Even though a nigga rich and I rock ice
I still bust a nigga head on the block aright
[Chorus: x2]
It's enemy turf that I'm on
So I'ma play it how it go
Cock the hollow points
And tote my black calicoe

Eye for eye
Better move yo' wife and son
Cause I ride or die

Bless me when I'm gone
But until then load up the chrome cause it's on

Put a four up in my lip and put my dirty up in the clip
I drop the top and then I flip I hit his cock and make 'em flip
And I be full of that trash

Watch the bullets chop off the head
And make 'em fall in the grass
One move they all die
Lil' Weezy small frie
Gorilla when it's war time
Y'all better learn
When this nigga shoot it'll be all hell
Well then let 'em burn
Hold him for ransom hear him this morning
Seven churn and I be damn if I let 'em go
If I don't get my dough
Then hell will be all blowin'
'Till I R.I.P C-M-R I be
I put it down for all my peeps
Nigga, I'm H-B for real
[Chorus: x2]
All I know is the streets
And how to strap up
When it's time shoot it
Cock yo' heaters
Tie up yo' bags
It's time to do it
Blaze the blunt
Shut off the lights
And cut down the music
Roll down the windows
Turn the corner
And let loose with the,
If ya don't know now
Then ya never will learn
You ca play with Lil' Wayne
And yo' block get burned
You must love to go swimming
Cause the water gets deeper
See I bust you wide open
And take 'ya daughter with me
Here come the beat boy
Shoot out the street lights
Time to bring on the heat boy
If you ain't really wit it
Then you better get back
I open yo' chest
And make it look just like a wet cat
This is a death trap
I'm a guerrilla and I mean it
Leave ya' head still in a beanin'
Not on the cement
Calicoe steamin'
Red dot beamin'
Dressed up suspicious
Play with Lil Weezy you'll be dinner for the fishes

<@#Linda_Ronstadt_All_I_Left_Behind.txt#@>
All I left behind should come as no surprise
To me since I fell through the black hole of your eye
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Silver earrings in Wichita
Beaded moccasins in Tonapah
But I had you, so
I just let them go
The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold
When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo
The leather boots I bought so many miles ago
I took them off to follow you into the Ohio
Never did my armor feel so thin
Silk was all I had between me and your skin
Like Waterloo, I lost that too
And the gold bracelet with my father's name inscribed
On the back by the one who loved him all her life
The way I too could have loved you
The Spanish shawl I put across the broken shade
Of the lamp that lit the room
That last night near Cour d'Alene
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Of all I left behind
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Ballad_Of_Cananea.txt#@>
I'm going to detail
What happened to me,
That they have taken me prisoner
Being a well played rooster.
(Even though I've been around and
Should have known better.)
I went to Agua Prieta
To see if I had a reputation there
And at 11: 00 at night
The police apprehended me.
They arrested me
In the American style,
As though I were a criminal
All of them with pistol in hand.
The jail of Cananea
Is situated on a plateau
And in it I was processed
On account of my stupidity.
I give you no farewell
For I don't have it with me
Leave it to the Holy Child
And to the Lord of Mapimi
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Birds.txt#@>
Lover, there will be another one
To hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over
It's over
Nestle in your wings my little one
A special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come today
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you and show you the way to go
It's over
It's over
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Day_Dream.txt#@>
Funny the way that I feel now
Can't keep my feet on the ground
Everything seems unreal now
When you're not around
Day dream
Why do you haunt me so?
Deep in a rosy glow
The face of my love you show
Day dream
I walk along on air
Building a castle there
For me and my love to share
Don't know the time
Lordy, I'm in a daze
Sun in the sky
While I moon around, feeling hazy
Day dream
Don't break my reverie
Until I find that he
Is daydreaming just like me
Don't know the time
Lordy, I'm in a daze
Sun in the sky
While I moon around, feeling hazy
Day dream
Don't break my reverie
Until I find that he
Is daydreaming just like me
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Dont_Cry_Now.txt#@>
If you've ever been taken for money
If you've ever gone down with your pride
If you've ever stood up for a good friend and lost
You know that the river is wide
Like a painter who waits for the sunrise
With a picture in both of his hands
It's like part of your life is already begun
With something that you don't understand
But don't cry now
Oh don't cry now
Don't cry now
No don't cry now
When you're lying alone in the night time
And your loneliness turns into fear
With the words of your memory failing and falling
You're drowning in a river of tears
But don't cry now
Oh don't cry now
If you've ever thought much about freedom
You might find yourself caught in some door
With somebody you love more than (Incomprehensible to my ears)
And you've been weeping but you don't know what for
But don't cry now
Oh don't cry now
Don't cry now
Oh don't cry now
Don't cry now
Woah don't cry now
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Dont_Know_Much.txt#@>
Look at this face I know the years are showing.
Look at this life I still don't know where it's going.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
Look at these eyes they never seen what matters.
Look at these dreams so beaten and so battered.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
So many questions still left unanswered.
So much I've never broken through.
And when I feel you near me,sometimes I see so clearly.
That only truth I'll never know is me and you.
Look at this man so blessed with inspiration.
Look at this soul still searching for salvation.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
I don't know much but I know I love you.
That may be all I need to know.
I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all there is to know.
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Falling_Down.txt#@>
I'm falling down
I need to sleep
Come a long long way
No time for weepin
No time for weepin
Quiet now I'm falling down
I'm falling down
I have heard
A million tales
I have told
A million more
Some of them
Must have been true
But I don't know anymore
I'm falling down
Do your dance on my head
Heavy steps of the dead
Everything the snow surrounds
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling down

For a love
I can't sleep and I live full of passion
I have a love
That left forever in my life a bitter pain
Poor me
This life would be better if it would end
It's not for me.
Poor me (Ay, my heart...
Poor me (don't suffer any more...
How much my suffering in my breast
That throbs so alone for you.
For a love
I have cried little drops of blood from my heart,
You have left me with a wounded soul
Without compassion...
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Heart_Like_A_Wheel.txt#@>
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean
When harm is done no love can be won
I know it happens frequently
What I can't understand oh please God hold my hand
Why it had to happen to me
And it's only love and it's only love
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Hummin_To_Myself.txt#@>
I'm a singer of love songs
Songs that are happy and gay
But how can I sing my love songs
My lover's gone away
I got the words
I got the tune
I've been rehearsing under the moon
But I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
I've got the place
I've got the time
I've got a lot of love words that rhyme
But I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
Mmm mmm
I guess it just had to be
Mmm mmm
Won't someone listen to me
I got the words and I got the tune
I'd like to croon it under the moon
But I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
Well I got the words and I got the tune
And I'd like to croon it under the moon
But I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
Mmm, hummin' to myself
Well I'm hummin' to myself

<@#Linda_Ronstadt_I_Dont_Stand_A_Ghost_Of_A_Chance_With_You.txt#@>
I need your love so badly, I love you, oh, so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you!
I thought at last I'd found you, but other lovers surround you
And "I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you!"
If you'd surrender just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover, that I'm the lover meant for you
And I'd be true, but what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming

Duet by Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor
written by Rose Marie McCoy, Sylvia McKinney
(C) 1961 Ben-Ghazi Enterprises Inc (BMI)
Darling, been to see the preacher man
Darling darling, started making wedding plans
Your lips set my soul on fire
To be with you that's my one desire
Oh darling
Think it's gonna work out fine
Darling, started getting next to me
Darling, though about how this could be
Ooee
If your love is half as true
As the love I'm offering you
Oh darling, I think it's gonna work out fine
Think it's gonna work out fine
Know it's gonna work out fine
Think it's gonna work out fine
I'm so glad that you're mine all mine
Do you remember they used to call you Dapper Dan
Way back when I was the killer and everybody's loving man
Whole lotta women used to be my speed
Now pretty baby you're all I need
Oh darling, think it's gonna work out fine
He's so, I'm so, we're so glad when we remember
Used to call me Dapper Dan yeah
Way back when you were the killer and everybody's loving man
Whole lotta women used to be my speed
Now pretty baby you're all I need
Oh darling, think it's gonna work out fine
Think it's gonna work out fine
Know it's gonna work out fine
Think it's gonna work out fine
Think, think, work out fine

You've got to think, think, work out fine
I think it's gonna work out
Yeah it's gonna work out
Know it's gonna work out fine
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Just_One_Look.txt#@>
Just one look and I fell so hard
In love with you Oh Oh
I found out how good it feels
To have your love Oh Oh
Say you will, will be mine
Forever and always Oh Oh
Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one Oh Oh
I thought I was dreaming
But I was wrong Oh yeah yeah
Ah but I'm gonna keep on scheming
Till I make you, make you my own
So you see I really care
Without you I'm nothing Oh Oh
Just one look and I know
I'll get you someday Oh Oh
Just one look
That's all it took hah just one look
That's all it took woah just one look
That's all it woah baby you know I love you baby
I'll build my world around you come on baby
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_King_Of_Bohemia.txt#@>
Let me rock you in my arms
I'll hold you safe and small
A refugee from the Seraphim
With your rich girl rags and all
Did your dreams die young, were they too hard won
Did you reach too high and fall?
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
And He blessed you best of all
Your eyes seem from a different face
They've seen that much that soon
Your cheek's too cold, too pale to shine
Like an old and waning moon
And there is no peace, no true release
No secret place to crawl
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
And He blessed you best of all
If tears unshed could heal your heart
If words unsaid could sway
Watch you melt into the night
With adieu and rue the day
Did your dreams die young, were they too hard won
Did you reach too high and fall?
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
And He blessed you best of all
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Life_Is_Like_A_Mountain_Railway.txt#@>
Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
We must make this run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Heed the curves and watch the tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail
Blessed Saviour there to guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
And the angels there to join us
In God's grace forevermore
As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You will reach the Union Depot
Into which your train will ride
There you'll meet the superintendent
God the father, God the son
With a happy joyous greeting
Weary pilgrim, welcome home
Blessed Saviour there to guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
And the angels there to join us
In God's grace forevermore
In God's grace forevermore
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Long_Long_Time.txt#@>
Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time
Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time
Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.

(C) 1977 Silver Fiddle (BMI)
There's a lot to learn
For wasting time
There's a heart that burns
There's an open mind
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
You own it
You own it now
You own it
There's a weight on you
But you can't feel it
Living like I do
It's hard for you to see it
Was I hurt too bad
Can I show you daylight
How can I be sad
When I know that you might
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
It's in your neighborhood
I know things are gonna change
But I can't say bad or good
There's a lot to learn
For wasting time
There's a heart that burns
There's an open mind
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
Look out for my love
<@#Linda_Ronstadt_Louise.txt#@>
Well they all said Louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And how she'd act a little girl
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
Yes and everybody knew at times she cried
Ah but women like Louise well they get by
Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad
When they found Louise in her room
They'd always put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
Louise rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard her say
Too bad it ended so ugly
Too bad she had to go this way
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
Well goodnight Louise goodnight
<@#Linkin_Park_A_Light_That_Never_Comes.txt#@>
Nah, you don't know me
Lightning above and a fire below me
You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
You cannot stop, much less control me
When it rains, it pours, when the floodgates open brace your shores
That pressure don't care when it breaks your doors
Say it's all you can take, better take some more
(Oh)
'Cause I know what it's like to test fate
Had my shoulders pressed with that weight
Stood up strong in spite of that hate
(Oh)
Night gets darkest right before dawn
What don't kill you makes you more strong
And I been waiting for it so long
The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
Oh
Oh
Oh
Waiting for a light that never comes
When I was young, they told me, they said
Make your bed, you lie in that bed
A king can only reign 'til instead
There comes that day it's "off with his head"
(Oh)
The night gets darkest right before dawn
What don't kill you makes you more strong
You'll have my mercy then when you're gone
The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
Oh
Oh
Oh
Waiting for a light that never comes
And I told them, nah, you don't know me
Lightning above and a fire below me
You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
You cannot stop, much less control me
When it rains, it pours
When the floodgates open, brace your shores
That pressure don't care, it breaks your doors
Say it's all you can take, better take some more
Oh

Waiting for a light that never comes

Ok what is it tonight
Please just tell me what the hell is wrong
Do you wanna eat
Do you wanna sleep
Do you wanna shout
Just settle down, settle down, settle down
Well I'll give you candy
Give you diamonds
Give you pills
I'll give you anything you want
Hundred dollar bills
And I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
Just marry me, marry me, marry me
I'm so sick of you tonight
You never stay awake when I get home
Is Something wrong with me
Somethings wrong with you
I really wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew
Well I'll give you candy
Give you diamonds
Give you pills
I'll give you anything you want
Hundred dollar bills
And I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
Because you married me, married me, married me
When I was young I played a game
That love and happiness were the same
Now I'm older and I don't play
And I found out the hardest way
I got wasted
She got mad
She called me names then she got her dad
He got crazy and I did too
Wond'ring what I did to you
Well I'll give you candy,
Give you diamonds,
Give you pills,
I'll give you anything you want
Hundred dollar bills
And I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
I'll do anything, anything, anything,
Anything, anything, anything, anything, anything...

I'm stuck in this bed you made
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you've been keeping
It's written upon your face
All the lies how they cut so deeply
You can't get enough you take
And take and take and never say
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down black out blood in your eye
You say that it's not your fault
And swear that I am mistaken
You said it's not what it seems
No remorse for the trust you're breaking
You run but then back you fall
Suffocate in the mess you're making
You can't get enough you take
And take and take and take and take
Fuck it are you listening?
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down
You push it back down
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down
Black out blood in your eye
Floating down, as colors fill the light
We look up from the ground
In fields of paper white
And floating up you pass us in the night
A future gazing out a past to overwrite
So come down far below
We've been waiting to collect the things you know
Come down far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've let go
Come down
Oh
Come down
Oh
Come down
Oh
Come down
Oh
Come down

Take me down to the river bend
Take me down to the fighting end
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again
Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens sing
Warm me up in a nova's glow
And drop me down to the dream below
'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see
Bring me home in blinding dream
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
And show me how to be whole again
'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see
For you to see
'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything else I need to be
'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see

Maybe's a chance I've already keep y'all waitin'
This goes out to everybody still hatin'
For those that fake y'all can keep on fakin'
Pokin' a plate for you to sink your whole face in
Taste good only 'cause it's just so you know it's nothin'
I getchu buggin' like tabooie and some robutussin
It's just the way that I notions time I slap the track
And turn around and choke each rhyme, pyrochlast
To the nation like NPC, with pairs of 60's like an MPC
To letter an ass woopin' via mp3,
Givin' you people more reality than MTV
Do a PPV snap necks with the pressure mega mess
To carry you out on a stretcher
You consume the ewl the law won't protect ya
Even the courtroom sketcha can out sketch ya
And now followin' me, got your number on column
A D try you can holla with me, approach the pain
I'ma check the body in threes, you can sittin' there stuttering
Pr-probably, follow me,
[Hook]
I got styles you can chop me one
Back in line I know you wanna stop me son
Here's news for you f-cka that cannot be done
You can look and eye it pissed I have not begun
Alcoholic, police close to bat,
You think you're hard muh'f-cka'? you're an easter egg
You gotta past at shell with a soft inside
Squash your pride you think I f-ckin' lost my mind?
I'm not playin'. I might as well be makin' a bomb
I'm layin' down a foundation when I'm takin' you on
Bet the fall of the rhyme for the sake of my mom
She's like "Mike show these pigs what kind of bacon you're on"
It's funny but don't laugh, money with no cash
The real of the vocab, killin' is no path
The realest to romat, don't even know half
I'm rankin' a full tank you're runnin' on low gas
[Hook]
Take that, crack off your fund,
You're nothin' but a butternife stoppin' a gun
You can dance with your chances slim and none
You can take it I have finished I have not begun
Gotta razor blade tongue
And I kid this done
No wonder just dumpin' on your crew for fun
Machine stop got it locked like the game's a joke
Say summin' funny get the whole gang to vote
Let 'em pucka now f-cka go get your own
We've been roamed ten years since we did this note
The people on the block start to get numb
They expect it it's fresh when the new sh-t come
It grows, let 'em know they can fix around
Railroad, rap hot tracks one and you're down
And they're askin' repeat how I do this now
Like I'm really gonna tell 'em how I get this sound
We just doin' what we do gettin' from that place
We come in the back like we're on this b-tch
Turn the lights down low when we start this show
What, you two get me right back in the go
[Hook]
It's take that, take that, cuttin' if your fun
You're nothin' but a butternife stoppin' a gun
You can dance with your chances slim to none
You can think that I am finished I have not begun
Follow me I got styles you can chop me one
Back in line I know you wanna stop me son
But I got news for you f-cka that cannot be done

Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What you build you lay to waste
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take
[Chorus]
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie
You promise me the sky
Then toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms
And chill me to the bone
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take
[Chorus x 2]
<@#Linkin_Park_Leave_Out_All_The_Rest.txt#@>
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?
So, if you're asking me, I want you to know
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shed but I'm me
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So, if you're asking me, I want you to know
[Chorus]
Forgetting
All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
[Chorus]
Forgetting
All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

So this is the last treat of the night coming up right here
This is a song, this is a tour actually, this is the first time we've played
this song on tour
I'll spit it out eventually
Anybody like the Deftones?
Got any Deftones' fans in the house?
Put em' up if you are
Let me see you if you know the words to this shit and i'll come down and sing
it with you
Hey you, big star, guide me when it's over
Hey you, big mood, guide me to shelter
'Cause I'm through, when the two hits the six and it's summer
Cloud, come
Shove
The sun
Aside
I think God is moving his tongue
There's no crowds in the streets
And no sun
In my own summer
You guys feeling that?
Who can help me with this shit, can you?
Can you help me with this shit?
Stay right here, stay right here
Hey you..
Stay right here
Come on
Yo, yo
What the fuck is going on?
Yea, bring him over here
Allright bro, we gonna teach these mother fuckers this shit, ok?
You guys gonna help us out right now?
Allright you guys
Chester, when you're ready bud
The shade is a tool, a device, a savior
See, I try
(You better watch out)
And look up
(Where?)
To the sky
(Why?)
But my eyes burn
Cloud, come
Shove it, shove it, shove it
Shove
Shove it
The sun
Aside
Cloud, come
Shove it, shove it, shove it
Shove
Shove it, shove it, shove it
The sun
Shove it, shove it, shove it
Aside
I think God is moving his tongue
There's no crowds in the streets
And no sun
In my own summer

I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
There was nothing in sight
But memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide
In every loss
In every lie
In every truth that you'd deny
And each regret
And each goodbye
Was a mistake to great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it to the beat
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
See me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
Cause mine sure won't be shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it to the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
You're gonna wish you never had met me
Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep
You're gonna wish you
You could have had it all
You could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat

As were sitting here staring each other down
You open up your mouth let your lies spew out
What are we doing here it's wrong can't you see
You wanna leave me here, and forget about me
You look me, in my face
Tell me I'm, your disgrace
You say that your the victim
I say your full of shit
All the times you stuck me here
And put me on my own
I feel the same that's why
I've got a bullet with your name
As were sitting here staring each other down
I remember how you used to kick me around
Look deep in my eyes come take all my pain
I only have just one bullet with your name
You look me, in my face
Tell me I'm, your disgrace
You say that your the victim
I say your full of shit
All the times you stuck me here
And put me on my own
I feel the same that's why
I've got a bullet with your name
I feel the same
Get the fuck away!
Yea away
Look deep in my eyes
Come take the pain from me
All I ask of you
Is to get away from me
You look me, in my face
Tell me I'm, your disgrace
You say that your the victim
I say your full of shit
All the times you stuck me here
And put me on my own
I feel the same that's why

Watch as the room rocks men only moon walk
Mixed media slang, banging in your boom box
Verbal violence, lyrical stylist
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesn't make you an Emcee
With your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
You're not an Emcee if someone else writes your lines
And rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
'Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
But now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up
All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
So how does it stack up? None of it's real
You want to be an emcee you've got to study the skill
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
But mentally you don't have the hip hop energy
With a tendency to make up stories
Sounding like the only hip hop you've heard is top 40
And your record company is completely missing it
All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
So in a battle you can't hack it, react with whack shit
And get smacked with verbal back flips
Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
It's taken decades for emcees to establish this
You're new to hip hop and welcome if your serious
But not on the mic leave that to the experienced
Using the waves of sound the true master
Paralyzes his opponents, leaving him vulnerable to attack
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up, step up
After years of pain staking research
By the world's leading sound scientists
We here at the sound institute have invented
A reliable audio weapons system
Actual movement of musical sound
In space used to carefully attack and neutralize
The cellular structure of the human body
And the question must be asked
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up, step up
Mixed media step up to the microphone
And you do it like this
<@#Linkin_Park_Victimized.txt#@>
No regret for the confidence betrayed
No more hiding in shadow
'Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid
Time has come for you
[Chorus]
Victimized, victimized, never again victimized
Victimized, victimized, never again victimized
They're acting like they want a riot, it's a riot I'll give them
As the sound comes higher on this violent rhythm
These snakes in the grass, supplying the venom
I ain't scared of your teeth, I admire what's in 'em
Keep 'em waiting in the shadows there, thinking they hidden
But the truth is you don't have the stomach to get 'em
Go on already hit 'em, yeah you gotta be kiddin'
Wanna talk about a victim, I'ma put you there with 'em!
[Chorus]

If everything would just stop
Then maybe I could clear up my thoughts
If everything would stand still
I could've hidden how lost I feel
I should've said what I hear
I should've let myself fear
I should've made myself clear
So this is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when we find we lost our minds
We fake what we don't know
I never asked to let go
I never thought I could sink so low
I never let myself down
Until the second I did right now
I should've said what I hear
I should've let myself fear
I should've made myself clear
So this is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when we find we lost our minds
We fake what we don't know
So this is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know
Cause all we are is everything we've done
All we are is how quickly we run
And all we are
We are
This is how we fall apart
But this is how beginnings start
Cause when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know
And if our doubt begins again
The answers find us in the end
So in the meantime we'll pretend
And fake what we don't know
This is how we fall apart
But this is how beginnings start
Cause when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know
And if our doubt begins again
The answers find us in the end
So in the meantime we'll pretend
And fake what we don't know

I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal, not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow
I am not the fortune and the fame or the same person telling you to forfeit
the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain and then found out the underbelly's
sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse
'cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
'cause once you got a theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Ya'll oughta stop talking
Start trying to catch up motherfucker!
And all the people say
Try to catch up mother fucker
Lauryn said money change the situation
Big said it increase the complication
Kane said don't step, I ain't the one
Chuck said an Uzi weighs a motherfuckin' ton
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage and every place that they brought me
I'm awfully underrated but came here to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken, I'mma say it for the record
I am the opposite of wack, opposite of weak
Opposite of slack, synonym of heat, synonym of crack
Closest to a peak, far from a punk
Ya'll oughta stop talking, start trying to catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Try to catch up mother fucker
When they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone [x3]
And all the people say
Try to catch up motherfucker!

You make me feel good, so good inside
Stay by me woman for the rest of my life
And as I think of you more every day
There's only one thing I can say
And that's:
Girl, I think the world about you
Always thinkin' of you
Girl, I think the world about you
I'm always thinkin' of you
So many wonders in your world it seems,
You're the picture of a woman - a little girl's dream,
You seem so weak sometimes to be so strong,
You make a man like me finally to belong,
No words can say how much I need you so,
But oh my love I want the world to know

I still believe in you and me
Still believe the sun will shine on me
I still believe there's a reason, there's a meaning to why we're here
There is a place where we can go to where we don't have to live in fear
They're trying to tell me that the moon is in the ocean.
And I'm just dreaming my life away
I still believe in you and me
Still believe the sun will shine on me
I still believe true love is the answer, don't turn away
'cause I believe in love, that's the only way
I believe in every moment, every heartbeat that we're here
And we're a part of each other and forever it seems so clear
I don't believe that I'm just walking in the darkness
Or that I'm lost without a prayer
I still believe in you and me
Still believe the sun will shine on me
Oh now love is the answer and oh it's right here
And I know we've got to remember it's only together for now and forever
I still believe in you and me
Still believe the sun will shine on me
I still believe true love is the answer
Don't turn away, 'cause I believe in love
'cause I believe in love, 'cause I believe in love and that's the only way.

You and I were so in love.
You were all I was thinkin' of.
There was so much magic in your eyes.
Then one day you said we were through.
You said you found somebody new.
And then you turned and you walked right out the door.
Baby I told you his love wasn't true.
You didn't hear me, so now I say these words to you
[Chorus]
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Now you say you're sorry.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Baby.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Now you see who's sorry now.
Oh, oh,oh.
I remember you standin' there, sayin' to me you didn't care.
And I was begging baby, please don't go.
Now you're crying, telling me what went wrong.
Girl you stayed away too long,
Can't you see I've got you off my mind.
(change)
Thinkin''bout the pain that you put me through.
I can't help you-because it feels good telling you
[Chorus]
(rap) "see mama, what I'm tryin'to say.
To you is that, I'm ,you know, I love ya,
But ya - yaa hurt me so bad, I can't take it no more girl,
I just can't take it, no, hell no"
"no! no, no, I don't wanna hear it,
Don't say it anymore, don't talk
No more, I'm tired of you're lyin',

Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
All you do is use my love,

Can't let you hurt me anymore.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye

Lady, morning's just a moment away
And I'm without you once again
You laughed at me
So many words we didn't say
Two people lost in a storm
Where did we go?
Where'd we go?
We lost what we both had found
You know we let each other down
But then most of all
I do love you still
We played the games that people play
We made our mistakes along the way
Sometimes I know deep in my heart
You needed me
Because I needed you so desperately
We were too blind to see
But then most of all
I do love you still

As I wake up in the morning on life's big roller coaster
Looking for the devil in disguise
As I look into the haze and maze and the lightning and the thunder
I hope an angel's on my side,
On my side
Cause time, time, time don't give a damn about tomorrow,
Time (background singers)
Time don't really care about no yesterdays,
Time (background singers)
Time is only watching all the pain we bear
All of the joy we share
Do we care
Time to wonder
As I look at all the faces, I've just got to stop and wonder
What are we searching for
Everybody spys and lies and tries to talk about the future
As we're marching off to war
Anybody keeping score
Oh yeah
Cause time, time, time don't give a damn about tomorrow
Time, (background singers)
Time don't really care about no yesterdays,
Time (background singers),
Time is only watching all the pain we bear
All of the joy we share
Do we care
Time to wonder
Take a look around at all the time we wasted
Take a look around and know that you're just passing through
When you find the truth that lies inside the darkness
Will it ever come to be that you'll find the key
That will set you free, that will set you free, that will set you free
It's only time
Time to wonder
It's time to wonder
Oh yeah, it's time to wonder
What are you going to do with your life?
Time (background singers)
What are you going to do with the time that you're living in?
Time (background singers)
It's time to wonder, it's time to wonder, it's time to wonder, it's time to

Does it hurt to be polite
Or is it just cool to be unkind
Must you always hurt the ones you love
And then get paid back in time
Now, now, now
Andy is fine but his taste is not mine
Let me tell you I don't mean maybe
I'm getting really tired of andy's babies
Some say that children should be seen and not heard
That's what i'd preferred
Let's go downtown for a wine
I'm sure you'll be forced to smile
When you see andy's babies
And the bohemian lifestyle
Now, now now
Andy's a saint
But i'm loosing my patience
I really don't mean maybe
Don't even wanna talk about andy's babies
So andy says his children will inherit the earth
Isn't that absurd, in a word
Trudy's in the bathroom
She's trying to clean up her eyes
And donald's gone to mass
Yes we are thankful for that
It's eight in the morning
And still you can't get no sleep
On account of this perfect day and
All this white light white heat

Are as warm as the smoke and the heat haze
Yes and neon here twenty-four hours of the day
And you're sure looking pretty when it's hitting on your face
Looker on the corner take that dog for a donor
Well she's only doing what her mother told her
I... I want to take you down

I want to take you right down

I want to see a touch of evil in your eye
But all that I'm getting babe is sweetness and lies
I want to see something that I might desire
I want to take you down babe into the mire
Deals going down no chance no masking
One thing's for sure never get what you're asking
They're coming with johnsons, they're coming with knives
They're robbing your boots when they give you a shoe shine
I... I want to take you down
I want to take you down
I want to take you right down
I... I want to take you down
I want to take you down
I want to take you right downtown
Slow train down, babe, try twenty-nine
There's no looking back when there's no sense of time
'Cause it's neon here twenty-four hours of the day
And you're sure looking pretty when it's hitting on your face
With a touch of evil in your eye
With a touch of evil in your eye
I want to take you down to the side of the city
I want to take you down to the blur of the city
I... I want to take you down

From northerton to northern california
Folk don't really change
And there's always the rain
From southport beach to Sunday in the hamptons
Well I never could complain
And there's always the rain
The fool you are in manchester
The fool you are in maine
The lies you tell in liverpool
Will follow you to spain
It's the fool you are
From lambeth walk to london, ontario
We'd like(love) to run away
When it looks like rain
From sunset strip to waterloo underground
The stars are just the same
And it looks like rain
The fool you are in manchester
The fool you are in maine
The lies you tell in liverpool
Will follow you to spain
It's the fool you are
It's the fool you are
Yes it is
From the sunshine state to shaftesbury avenue
Folk don't really change
And there's always the rain
And the night before in northern california
Is dawning on the thames and it looks like rain
The fool you are in manchester
The fool you are in maine
The lies you tell in liverpool
Will follow you to spain
And the morning after leicester square
Is hungover in rome
And never again in newcastle
Is one more for the road
It's the fool you are
It's the fool you are
Yes it is
It's the fool you are
It's the fool that's what you are
It's the fool you are

Once you were an angel
Jesse honey is it hard to take
Does it feel so bad to be 28 you were 23
And you could do anything now you open your mouth
And spit the gutter out
I was walking down by the river thames
I decided that I should throw me in
Because you broke my heart and you made me weep
In the name of your sensitivity
Still once you were an angel
Did nobody tell you jesse honey oh you look so pale
And old and so very I'll at ease these days
So you tell yourself that you'll never win
And you drown your sins in amphetamine
Do you weary so of that bitter taste
So you spit in my face just to keep you entertained
Still I can only love you I have no option but to
Is hard to take is it is it hard to swallow
Is it is it hard to take from grace
Once you were an angel
Did nobody tell you jesse honey is it hard to take
Does it feel so bad to be 28 you were 23
And you could do anything
Now you open your mouth and you spit the gutter out
Out in the summer rain
You will begin again
Out in the summer rain
We will begin again

Jesus said to mary: lord the things we do for love
Well do you think I seem selfconcious,
Its only you I'm thinking of.
I was hiding in the bathroom quite unable to cry.
Now I'm weeping with a vengeance
Since your voice came down the line.
And I move up from the country,
Oh I never could have stayed.
I just dipped my hand in the water
And got carried away.
Oh would you put me down
Just for being around
At the wrong time all day
Or would you leave while I'm sleeping
Out through the fire escape
They tell me swans do fly
Across the perfect sky
And it's the purest sky tonight
So you desert me in the morning,
Kind of your cruelty and spice
And I move up from the country to wave a goodbye to old anne
And I just let her on that riverboat and I never will look back
Jesus said to mary: look at the things we do for love
Well do you think he was selfconcious,
It was only her he was thinking of.
I was hiding in the bathroom quite unable to cry.
Now I'm weeping with a vengeance
These are tears of joy oh my
And I move up from the country,
Oh I never could have stayed.
I just dipped my hand in the water
And got carried away.

Now that the low life has no meaning
'Cause you've been there
Now you're gone
But your heart won't keep from cheating
It's stringing you along
Stranger to me
Well, what's the lowdown?
Are you man enough to pray
For a better way of living?
I believe I've lost my way
Oh, May, could you please hold me?
I believe I might fall
I believe that I might fall
Could there be a better way of living
Better than the easy way?
Could the wretched be forgiven?
Are you man enough to pray?
Wore my heart upon my sleeve
To court the wretched and the free
But if by chance I'd lost my way
Would you help me find it, babe?
Oh, May, could you please hold me?

(She moves on)
Taking with her when she's gone
Your jacket, jeans and shirt
Your better self
And it hurts and it hurts
(As she moves on)
What this place needs
She said when she first stayed the night
Is a woman's touch
Well, she gave you that allright, now
Missing, believe lost
Five feet four and a half
Of just warm girl
Lazy blonde curl
Last seen heading north
With no visible scars
Wearing tan suede
Over a brave face
(As she moves on)
Into another world
In which you don't belong
In which you never will
And it's wrong, it's alll wrong
(As he moves on)
She doesn't call
She won't come back
She's too far in
Was her love as fake as her leopardskin?
Missing, believe lost
Five feet four and a half
Of just warm girl
Lazy blonde curl
Last seen heading north
With no visible scars
Wearing tan suede
Over a brave face
She's missing
And I'm lost
<@#Lloyd_Cole_Most_Of_The_Time.txt#@>
Most of the time
I'm too focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path
I can read the sign
I can stay right with it
As the road unwinds
I can handle whatever
I stumble upon
I don't even notice that she's gone
Most of the time
Most of the time
It's well understood
Most of the time
I wouldn't change it if I could
I could make it all match up
I can hold my own?
I could deal with the situation
Right down to the bone
I could survive
I can endure
And I don't even think
'bout her
Most of the time
Most of the time
My head is on straight
Most of the time
I'm strong enough not to hate
I don't build up illusion until it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
I don't even remember how her lips felt on mine
Most of the time
Most of the time
She ain't even in my mind
Would I know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
Most of the time I can't even be sure
If she was ever with me or if I was ever with her
Most of the time I'm halfways content
Most of the time I know exactly where it all went
I would cheat on myself
I don't run and hide
I won't hide from the feelings
That I buried inside
I don't compromise
And I don't pretend
And I don't even care
If I ever see her again
Most of the time

Sold my ass, now my trousers fit again, yeah yeah
I blew my stash on hallucinogens
You love my song, well I don't know what it means, no

I got your letter baby the one that said
You been loving me too long maybe we should kick it in the head
Right on
Well I guess you've really got some kind of way with words
Maybe you could be a writer
You could do worse
'Cause when I saw you I just knew
I always would belong to you
Goodbye baby, well you'll never see my smiling face
Sweetheart, sweet jane
Guess you'll find some other killing to take my place
Ha ha, all right
I want my photographs back and my barcelino
Keep the cartier babe I wouldn't give you the time of day
Born a lady to the last perfumed stationery
Does it make you feel good to make me feel ordinary?
'Cause when I saw you I just knew
I always would belong to you
Goodbye baby, well you'll never see my smiling face
Sweetheart, my complete heart's
Trashed and bleeding with the sordid details in my suitcase
Right on

Oh, you're a precious little prude?
But tell me the truth now
Have you ever had a care in the world
So tell me what's it all about
You say oh you're so attacked
Well you'll never be so right
Oh you can cry yourself dry
But i'd be surprised if you can munster
Up a single crocodile
You'll never be a hopeless child
Throw caution to the wind
Forgive yourself your sins
And don't you know you
Really are the sweetest thing
There isn't heart enough from you
Do you no longer care or feel that
You no longer have nothing left to prove
Oh tell me that it isn't true
I wanted to tell you
That I used to admire you
Oh you know really that I don't cared
No I never cared for you
But I used to read about you
And you oftenly would throw caution to the wind
And don't you know you
Really are the sweetest thing

I lost my girl on Monday
Looking for some sympathy
I went to church directly
The lord was not there for me
Didn't go to work on Tuesday
Got to drinking around noon
I lost my heart to a mean bartender
She knocked me off my stool
Now the world's spinning 'round too fast, lord
Won't you let me off on the corner?
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needs is a little push in that direction
I lost my job on Friday
Said a lack of discipline
I went to church directly
Peter said he was not in
I hit the bar on Sunday
Looking for some discipline
I sold my soul to the mean bartender
She said I'm born again
Now the world's spinning 'round too fast, lord
Won't you let me off on the corner?
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needs is a little pushing
You time it just right
You could send me to the lions tonight

That slow burn wait while it gets dark,
Bruising the sun, I feel grown up with you in your car
I know it's dumb
We've both got a million bad habits to kick
Not sleeping is one
We're biting our nails, you're biting my lip
I'm biting my tongue
When people are talking, people are talking
When People are talking, people are talking
Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone
We're all alone
We're alone
All my fake friends and all of their noise
Complain about work
They're studying business, I study the floor
And you haven't stopped smoking all night
Maybe the Internet raised us
Or maybe people are jerks
When people are talking, people are talking (But not you)
When people are talking, people are talking
Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone
We're all alone
We're alone
All the double-edged people and schemes
They make a mess then go home and get clean
You're my best friend, and we're dancing in a world alone,
We're all alone
We're all alone
I know we're not everlasting
We're a train wreck waiting to happen
One day the blood won't flow so gladly
One day we're all get still
When people are talking, people are talking
Get still
When people are talking, people are talking
When people are talking, people are talking
Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we ain't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler), you can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We didn't come from money
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

Wait 'til you're announced
We've not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon your greatness that you'll send the call out
Send the call out
Call all the ladies out, they're in their finery
A hundred jewels on throats
A hundred jewels between teeth
Now bring my boys in, their skin in craters like the moon
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room
Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well
Even the comatose, they don't dance and tell
We live in cities you'll never see onscreen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team
I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
So all the cups got broke
Shards beneath our feet
But it wasn't my fault
And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
Cause what this palace wants is release
We live in cities you'll never see onscreen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team
I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
I'm kind of older than I was when I reveled without a care
So there
We live in cities you'll never see onscreen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams

The sun comes up and brings the dawn to a new day
The kids run out to play the games like kids all play
To a child the world is milk and honey
A dime is a lot of candy money
Oh, ain't it funny, now, ain't it funny?
Running barefoot through the fields in the rain
Chasin' pretty butterflies in the lane
The world's a mess and they wonder why
Oh, what a pretty blue, blue sky
Gee, ain't it funny, now, ain't it funny?
The kids all say grown ups are strange and aren't they?
They teach their kids not to do as I do but as I say
They cry for peace and then make war
And wonder what they're fighting for
Oh, ain't it funny, now, ain't it funny?
Oh, gee ain't it funny, now, ain't it funny?

But another man loved me last night
Yes, another man loved me last night
I'd almost forgotten what love was really like
But I'm only human only a woman
I let another man love me last night
While he's sleepin', well, I'm cryin' here awake
Not being loved was more than I could take
Though it was wrong there in his arms it seemed so right
When another man loved me last night
Yes, another man loved me last night
I'd almost forgotten what love was really like
But I'm only human only a woman
I let another man love me last night

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corn cop pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made out of snow
But the children know how he came to life one day
There must of been some magic in
That ol' silk cap they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the snowman knew the snow was hot that day
So he said lets run and have some fun before I melt away
Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand
Runnin' here and there all around the square
Sayin' catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop
Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye sayin' please don't cry
I'll be back again some day

Some mornings when you wake up all alone

Tonight I'm in his arms but he just don't seem the same

I feel I'm mighty low and I pray he'll never know

It almost breaks my heart when he says that he loves me
I know that I'm not worthy and that's what troubles me
If he do what I had done could he still feel just the same
Or would he feel the way I do guilty and a shame

It's hard for me to know he's left me here so all alone
As soon as he's gone for enough and I know he's out of sight
Oh I'll go all to pieces and I'll cry
Yes I need someone to hold me when I cry
Someone who really understand the way I feel inside
When my heart breaks the tears won't stop no matter how I try
And I need someone to hold me when I cry
I don't know why he left me or what his leavin's for
I guess he didn't need me or love me anymore
He drove me into a world as dark and cold as ice
With no one here to hold me when I cry
Yes I need someone to hold me....

Many times my mind is wrapped up in trouble and my heart gets so heavy too
Sometimes when I sink so long I touch bottom
I kneel down to reach out and he pulls me through
I pray my way out of trouble and I ask my dear Lord to help me each day
I pray my way out of trouble and the dear nail scared hand wipes my teardrops

So I just go to him any time I am in trouble
Wash my heart in the waters of my Saviour's grace

So show me something different something I ain't never seen before
This time instead of gettin' up and goin' home to her just get up and close
the door
Just get up and close the door
And say you'll stay with me tonight say you won't regret the morning light
Then I'll believe the words of love you've said to me before
If you'll just get up and close the door
This time instead of gettin' up and goin' home to her just get up and close

(Oh mama why did God take my daddy cause I'd been good just like he said to be
I heard daddy pray dear Lord don't take me from them
Oh mama why did God take him from me)
Come here son you've asked mama somethin' that's even hard for me to
understand
For there's one thing I do know
Daddy wouldn't gonna see those tears in the eyes of this big man
So stop cryin' now and listen real careful to every word mama has to say
You see son God picks the sweetest most beautiful flowers that grow
And he makes them the brightest shiniest stars that glow
Now daddy talk with the Lord every day and daddy and God'll be real close
So let's just say it seems that God takes the ones he loves the most
(Oh mama why did God take my daddy)
Son you haven't heard a word that mama said
So come on now let's say your prayers and mama tuck you in bed
And we must have questioned God cause he already has everything planned
And honey daddy can't ever come back to us though we can go to him
(Oh mama why did God take him from me)
<@#Loretta_Lynn_Man_I_Hardly_Know.txt#@>
In a booth back in a corner where the lights are way down low
In the arms of a man I hardly know
I let the devil take over this heart of mine
When I lost your love well I almost lost my mind
I never thought I'd ever fall this low but here I am with a man I hardly know
In a booth back in a corner...
[ steel ]
I do the things a proper lady wouldn't do
And it all started that first night when I lost you
To see me now you wouldn't know me I'm changed so
Cause here I am with a man I hardly know
In a booth back in a corner...
<@#Loretta_Lynn_Man_Of_The_House.txt#@>
When the man of the house ain't never home
Here I am again tonight all by myself
It's not hard to figure out that you're out with someone else
So this girl's gettin' ready gettin' sad to go wrong
Cause the man of the house ain't never home
When the man of the house ain't never home
That's enough to cause most women to go wrong
When you stagger in tonight and find me gone
It's cause the man of the house ain't never home
[ steel - piano ]
You didn't think that I would ever slip and fall
Well that's what you get forsaken and don't forget you caused it all
And it gets pretty lonesome when you'll have to sleep alone
When the man of the house ain't never home
When the man of the house...
No the man of the house ain't never home
<@#Loretta_Lynn_Only_Time_I_Hurt.txt#@>
Now I know that I'll forget you cause I forgot you a while ago
And when I thought of you just now only one tear drip down slow
My mind is hard and twisted so and it hardly ever sleeks
But the only time I've hurt is when my heart beats
Since I'm finally gettin' over you I think I'll celebrate
Think of breakin' all your pictures and I might throw one away
And I won't feel this awful pain in about ten million weeks
Cause the only time I hurt is when my heart beats
The only time I hurt is when my heart beats
I live in constant mis'ry cause the hurtin' just repeats
I think about you now and then and everytime your mem'ry speaks
But the only time I hurt is when my heart beats
[ steel ]
The only time I hurt...
<@#Lou_Reed_Betrayed.txt#@>
Betrayed, by the one who says she loves you
By the one who says she needs you - above all other men
Betrayed, by her fragile, vicious beauty
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed
Justice taught her confidence, her mother was like steel
Her cousins, they're all convicts
She alone rose above that wheel
But a motorcyclist, no matter how good
Is slave to the oncoming truck
And the poison of her father was her most pitiless luck
Betrayed, by the one who says she loves you
By the one who says she needs you - above all other men
Betrayed, by her fragile, vicious beauty
Her father did his duty and I lay down betrayed
Three of us lie in his bed - night of infamy
One of us lies on our back - her father's in her head
And quick she turns and slaps my face
And with her eyes open wide she screams
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
But she's looking right by me
Betrayed, by the one who says she loves you
By the one who says she needs you - above all other men
Betrayed, by her fragile, vicious beauty
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed

I'd like to sing you a Broadway song
I hope that you'll all sing along
A little dancing and some sentiment to put your
Mind at ease
I'd like to play you something low and sexy
Look at our dancers they're so young and pretty? Hi Olga!
And when we start to groove you can hear the
Saxophones blow
Ah show business it's just a wonderful thing
All I want is to get down on my knees and sing
For you
And let the saxophones blow
Blow baby, blow
I'd like to sing you a Broadway song
I hope that you'll all sing along
A little dancing and some sentiment to put your
Mind at ease
I want to bring a tear to your eye
Awww good old Poe don't he make you cry
Ain't it great the way he writes about the
Mysteries of life
Ah show business is just a wonderful thing
All I want is to get down on my knees and sing
For you
And let the saxophones blow
Blow baby, blow
Go goose, go.

It's been a long time since I've been spoken to you
Was it the right time?
Your current troubles and you know they'll get much worse
I hope you know how much I enjoyed them
You're a pig of a person, there's a justice in this world
Hey, how about this?
Your lack of conscience and your lack of morality
Well, more and more people know all about it
We sat around the other night, me and the guys,
Trying to find the right word
That would best fit and describe you and people like you
That no principle has touched no principles baptized
How about that?
Who'd eat shit and say it taseted good
If there was some money in it for him
Hey, you remember that song by this guy from Texas
Whose name was Bobby Fuller?
I'll sing it for you it went like this
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I was angry
I said things I shouldn't say
But please don't turn your back
Sometimes I get so upset
But I take it all back
Please don't go
I know I was wrong
Sometimes I don't know what comes over me
But I try to remember
Don't hurt a woman
Don't hurt a woman
I was angry
I said things I shouldn't say
I must have lost control
Sometimes something clicks in my head
And I'm not myself anymore
That wasn't me
You can't believe everything you see
Let's make believe I never said a word
And I'll try to remember
Don't hurt a woman
Try to remember
Don't hurt a woman
Try to remember
Don't hurt a woman
I'll try to remember
Don't hurt a woman
Cause I lovin' you

<@#Lou_Reed_Halloween_Parade.txt#@>
There's a down town fairy singing out "Proud Mary"
as she cruises Christopher Street
And some Southern Queen is acting loud and mean
where the docks and the Badlands meet
This Halloween is something to be sure
Especially to be here without you
There's a Greta Garbo and an Alfred Hitchcock
and some black Jamaican stud
There's five Cinderellas and some leather drags
I almost fell into my mug
There's a Crawford, Davis and a tacky Cary Grant
And some Homeboys lookin' for trouble down here from the Bronx
But there ain't no Hairy and no Virgin Mary
you won't hear those voices again
And Johnny Rio and Rotten Rita
you'll never see those faces again
This Halloween is something to be sure
Especially to be here without you
There's the Born Again Losers and the Lavender Boozers
and some crack team from Washington Heights
The boys from Avenue B and the girls from Avenue D
a Tinkerbell in tights
This celebration somehow get me down
Especially when I see you're not around
There's no Peter Pedantic saying things romantic
in Latin, Greek or Spic
There's no Three bananas or Brandy Alexander
dishing all their tricks
It's a different feeling that I have today
Especially when I know you've gone away
There's a girl from Soho with a teeshirt saying "I Blow"
she's with the "jive five 2 plus 3"
And the girls for pay dates are giving cut rates
or else doing it for free
The past keeps knock, knock, knocking on my door
And I don't want to hear it anymore
No consolations please for feelin' funky
I got to get my head above my knees
But it makes me mad and mad makes me sad
and then I start to freeze
In the back of my mind I was afraid it might be true
In the back of my mind I was afraid that they meant you
The Halloween Parade

At the Halloween parade
See you next year, at the Halloween parade

Listen, I just wanna tell you a story
It happened to a friend of mine
Didn't have no power in the glory
City took a hell of a time??
The city was ahead kind of pushing
The only thing this about this girl
She went and she married another fellow
Knocked my friend right out of this world
He heard the preacher say here comes the bride
(here comes the bride)
Here comes the bride, baby
(here comes the bride)
?
(here comes the bride)
She looked lovely, here comes the bride
Somebody called to say they caring
Tell her that a refugee is coming in Philmont via the coast
Somebody call up his old man
Hey, tell him his son is a writer and?? Looking like a ghost
And somebody find that Virgin Mary
Oh, won't you tell that bitch, hey your two bees are coming back home
Somebody tell those ladies in waiting, hold it now
Don't tell the preacher, go on with it
We don't want to hear the words
Here comes the bride (here comes the bride)
I don't want to hear it, here comes the bride (here comes the bride)
Here comes the bride (here comes the bride)
Looks so lovely, so lovely, so lovely,
Don't you know the preacher looks so lovely, yeah yeah
Here comes the bride (here comes the bride)

Valerie Solanis took the elevator
got off at the 4th floor
Valerie Solanis took the elevator
got off at the 4th floor
She pointed the gun at Andy saying
you cannot control me anymore
I believe there's got to be some retribution
I believe an eye for an eye is elemental
I believe that something's wrong if she's alive right now
Valerie Solanis took three steps
pointing at the floor
Valerie Solanis waved her gun
pointing at the floor
From inside her idiot madness spoke and bang
Andy fell onto the floor
I believe life's serious enough for retribution
I believe being sick is no excuse and -
I believe I would've pulled the switch on her myself
When they got him to the hospital
his pulse was gone they thought that he was dead
His guts were pouring from his wounds
onto the floor they thought that he was dead
Not until years later would
the hospital do to him what she could not
what she could not
Where were you, you didn't come to see me
Andy said, I think I died, why didn't you come to see me
Andy said, It hurt so much, they took blood from my hand
I believe there's got to be some retribution
I believe there's got to be some retribution
I believe we are all the poorer for it now
Visit me, visit me
Visit me, visit me
Visit me, why didn't you visit me
visit me, why didn't you visit me
Visit me, visit me
visit me, why didn't you visit me

You know those smiling faces, I just can't forget 'em
But for now, I love you
Just for a little while
Oh baby, just to see you smile
Just for a little while
When I think of all the things I've done
And I know that it's only just begun
Oh, smiling faces, Jesus, you know I can't forget 'em

I'm waiting for my man
Got 26 dollars in my hand
Up to lexington 125
Feel sick and dirty more dead than alive
Huh, I'm waiting for my man
Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown
Hey white boy, you chasin' my women around
Pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just waitin' for a dear-dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man, come on
Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
Pr shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man
Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you and nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man
Hey baby, don't you holler, don't you ball and shout
I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, feeling so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man

All the sailors they're all home from leave
And everybody's waiting for them to try to deceive
The storekeepers have drawn their lace curtains bare
And all the women and the wee young girls all waiting there
Ooooh, but how the ladies pay
Oh, if they only knew how the ladies pay
Yeah, now, now, the ladies pay
Oh, when the men, they've gone away
Nobody is standing on upon the door
And nobody is feeding any of the poor
The poor, sick soldier lies in bed beside his girl
Thinking of another place on the other side of the world
Ah, how the ladies pay
Oh, oh, how the ladies pay
When the men, they've gone away
Oh, I wish, I knew how the ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day and night, night and day, night and day
Ladies pay, now

And never, never, never, never
Let it be said that it's true
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
They're the kind of people that'll always let you down
I know you, too, you don't ever give it a frown
Leave me, leave me, leave me...
Don't you know some people
They just don't know when to stop
They can't tell the floor from the ceiling or the top
And there're other types, they always make you wait
And they're always the first to say
The state you come from
Leave me, leave me, leave me...
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me forever
Love me, love me, love me...
Leave me, leave me, leave me...

Maybe I should go and live in Amsterdam
In a side street in a big canal
Spend my evenings in the Van Gogh Museum
What a dream, Van Gogh Museum
Maybe its time to see Tangiers
A different life-style some different fears
And maybe I should be Edinburgh
In a kilt in Edinburgh
Doin' a modern dance
Doin' a modern dance
Or maybe I should get a farm in Southern France
Where the winds are wispy and the villagers dance
And you and I we'd sleep beneath a moon
Moon in June and sleep till noon
And maybe you and I could fall in love
Regain the spirit that we once had
You'd let me hold you and touch the night
That shines so bright, so bright with fright
Doin' a modern dance
Doin' a modern dance
Shit, maybe I could go to Yucatan
Where women are women, a man's a man
Ah, no one confused, ever loses place
With their place in the human race
Maybe I'm not cut out for city life
The smell of exhaust, the smell of strife
And maybe you don't want to be a wife
It's not a life being a wife
Doin' a modern dance
Doin' a modern dance
So maybe I should go to Tanganyika
Where the rivers run, down mountains tall and steep
Or go to India to study chants
And lose romance to a mantra's dance
I need a guru, I need some law
Explain to me the things we saw
Why it always comes to this
It's all downhill after the first kiss
Maybe I should move to Rotterdam
Maybe move to Amsterdam
I should move to Ireland, Italy, Spain
Afghanistan where there is no rain
Or maybe I should just learn a modern dance
Where roles are shifting the modern dance
You never touch you don't know who you're with
This week, this month, this time of year
This week, this month, this time of year
Doin' a modern dance
You don't know who you're with modern dance
I should move to Pakistan, go to Afghanistan
Dance, you don't know who you're with
Dance, you don't know who you're with
Modern dance
And maybe you don't want to be a wife
It's not life being a wife
Doin' a modern dance
You never touch you don't know who you're with
Dance, modern dance
The roles are shifting dance
You never touch you don't know who you're with
Dance, modern dance
Maybe you don't want to be a wife

She calls on the phone
She says she doesn't want to be alone
She says it's making her neurotic
But please don't mistake it for being erotic
So alone, so all alone
She says let's go for a walk
We'll have a drink and maybe we will talk
And he thinks she has possibilities
If she could just put away her rosary
So alone, nobody wants to be alone
But I just didn't know
I swear to you, I just didn't know
I would never make you sad
If I had known I never would have
Said those things to you
You have to be crazy to say those things to you
Let's face it I made a mistake
Well you know, fools rush in where angels take a break
I can't be smart all of the time
And anyway I didn't know you were making time over him
To tell you the truth, I forget all about him
And you know, I don't think it's nice
Asking one man about another man's vice
I don't care if you pick my head
As long as we end up in bed
Alone, just the two of us alone
I just didn't know
I swear to God, I just didn't know
Can't you understand that it's frightening
When you hear women talking about castrating and hating men
Who wants to know about how you hate men
Well, you said now you wanted to dance
So now we're going to dance
You said that you weren't complete
But we're going to put you on your feet
You said that you were very vexed
You told me to forget about sex
You said you liked me for my mind
Well, I really love your behind
Oh, get up and boogie, oh baby, get up and dance
Oh, get, get, get, get up and boogie, baby, oh, get up and dance
Shake your booty, mama, oh, get up and dance
Your points very clear
You're not one to cry into your beer
Why don't we go to my place
Believe me, I'm very chaste
And I'm so alone, ao all alone
Sure all men are beasts
Hey, look, I'll sit here quietly and I'll stare at my feet
I don't blame you for taking umbrage
With animals staring at your cleavage
So alone, we're so all alone
Hey, do you mind if I turn out the light
Don't take offense, but why don't you spend the night
I know your passions run very deep
But at this point we both need sleep
So alone, and who wants to be alone

I see the sword of Damocles is right above your head
They're trying a new treatment to get you out of bed
But radiation kills both bad and good
It can not differentiate
So to cure you they must kill you
The sword of Damocles hangs above your head
Now I have seen lots of peoples die
From car crashes or drugs
Last night on 33rd street, I saw a kid get hit by a bus
Bus this drawn out torture over which part of you lives
Is very hard to take
To cure you, they must kill you
The sword of Damocles above your head
That mix of morphine and Dexedrine
We use it on the street
It kills the pain and keeps you up
Your very soul to keep
But this guessing game has its own rules
The good don't always win
And might makes right
The sword of Damocles
Is hanging above your head
It seems everything's done that must be done
From over here, though things don't seem fair
But there are things that we can't know
Maybe there's something over there
Some other world that we don't know about
I know you hate that mystic shit
It's just another way of seeing

And if it turns you then around
Then you better hit the door
But I know, it's just a temporary thing
Ooh, yeah, it's just a temporary thing
You've read too many books
You've seen too many plays
And it's things like this, that turn you away
Hey, hey, now, now, look, ha, look
Hey look, hey look, hey look, you better think about it twice
I know that your good breeding makes it seem not so nice
It's just a temporary thing
Aha, aha, aha, it's just a temporary thing
Where's the number, where's the dime and where's the phone
I feel like a stranger
I guess you want to go back home
Your mother, your father, your brother
I guess you wouldn't agree with me
But I don't give two shits, they're no better than me
Aha, it's just a temporary thing, oh yeah, been there before
Just a temporary thing, oh yeah, been there before
Ahh, bitch, get of my... temporary thing
Get out, it's just a temporary thing...

Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel, I'm home
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
Autumn in New York
The gleaming rooftops at sundown
Oh, autumn in New York
It lifts you up when you run down
Yes, Jaded Rogues and gay Divorces
Who lunch at the Ritz
Will tell you that it's divine
This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Oh, autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain
Yes, lovers that bless the dark
On the benches in Central Park
Greet autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York

Oh, your eyes of blue
Your kisses too
I never knew what they could do
I can't believe that you're in love with me
Yes, you're telling everyone I know
I'm on your mind each time you go
They can't believe that you're in love with me, oh yeah
Oh baby, I have always placed you far above me
I just can't imagine that you love me
And after all is said and done
To think that I'm the lucky one
I can't believe you're in love with me

I got rhythm....I got music....I got my gal
Who can ask for anything more
I got daisies....In green pastures....I got my gal

You won't find him.... 'round my door
I got starlight...I got sweet dreams...I got my gal
Who could ask for anything more

<@#Louis_Armstrong_I_Surrender_Dear.txt#@>
Pride, sad, splendid liar,
Sworn enemy of love
Kept my lips from saying
Things I was thinking of.
But now my pride you've humbled,
I've cast it to the winds,
Broken, beaten, sick at heart
My confession begins.
We've played the game of stay away
But it cost more that I can pay.
Without you I can't make my way,
I surrender, dear.
I may seem proud, I may act gay,
It's just a pose, I'm not that way,
'Cause deep down in my heart I say
I surrender, dear.
Little mean things we were doing
Must have been part of the game,
Lending a spice to the wooing,
But I don't care who's to blame.
When stars appear and shadows fall,
Why then you'll hear My poor heart call,
To you my love, my life, my all
I surrender, dear.

I'm confessin' that I love you,
Tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you,
Honest I do, need you every moment.
In your eyes I read such strange things,
But your lips deny they're true,
Will your answer really change things
Making me blue?
I'm afraid some day you'll leave me,
Saying "can't we still be friends"
If you go, you know you'll grieve me,
All in life on you depends.
Am I guessin' that you love me,
Dreaming dreams of you in vain,
I'm confessin' that I love you, over again.

So kiss me once, then kiss me twice

Oh, kiss me once...and kiss me twice

Sun showers
It might rain
Sun will shine again
So sun showers
In a little while
The sky above will smile

Dark clouds of sorrow

While sunflowers raise their little eyes
Up to the flamin' skies
And sun showers
Leave as they bud
A rainbow in our hearts
The great skies soon will be clear
My dear, those sun showers

Truck on down and dig me, Jack,
There's Big Moe, little biddy Moe, four eyed Moe, No Moe,
Look at brother, look at brother, look at brother,
Eat Moe!
Who's the greatest band around,
Makes the cats jump up and down,
Who's the talk of rhythm town,
Five guy's named Moe, that's us!
When they start to beat it out,
Everybody jumps and shouts,
Tell me who the critics all rave about,
Five guys named Moe.
We came out of nowhere,
And that don't mean a thing,
We rate high and you'll know why,
When you hear us sing, sing, sing, sing, sing.
High brow, low brow, they all agree,
We're the best in harmony,
I'm telling you folks, you really ought to see,
Five guys named Moe.

Mop mop! A thousand years ago
Mop mop! A guy named Jungle Joe
Was a drummer man in a Zulu band
That made swing history
Mop mop! One day the king said "Gate!
Why Gate, you old reprobate
I commission you, find a riff that's new
Or your wig belongs to me."
Joe's knees started knockin'
So scared he was stiff
'Til he noticed the tribe was rockin'
As his knees beat out this mellow riff
Mop mop! From the tropic's heat
Mop mop! Came this jungle beat
Though old Joe is gone, his jive lives on
And it still is making history.

You catch me beatin' up your chops?
I ought to turn you over to the cops,
But dig this spiel I'm going to lay on you, gate,
Don't cop your broom, park the body and wait.
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother,
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother,
You tell everybody I'm busted,
You talk so much you got me disgusted.
But you run your mouth and I'll run my business,
Brother.
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother,
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother,
You start in tellin' me you're my pal,
And end up tellin' me how to handle my gal,
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother.
You run your juicy mouth and I'll run my business,
Brother,
Just run your juicy mouth and I'll run my business,
Brother,
You always tellin' me what to do,
Sayin', "I wouldn't do that if I was you!"
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother.
Just clap your liver lips and I'll run my business,

Clap your liver lips and I'll run my business, brother,
If I'd followed your advice on how to make dough,
I'd been in the jailhouse long ago.
You run your mouth and I'll run my business, brother.

They've been looking for me for many days too
From where I' m sitting

The sirens, helicopters and tings
The bloodhounds are on my tail, Oh God
Just in minutes
They' ll be tearing me apart

What you were going through
It's just that I didn't have the right
To discuss your problems I saw you struggling
For our education I saw you struggling to get us clothes to wear mama
This man you got married to is dead alive
Over the years I asked myself
Many questions Is he my real dad or
Was I adopted mama I know it's difficult for you mama
But hold on I am a little grown up now
Oh Ho
Chorus:
Hold on just a little bit longer now (x4)
You were a laughing stock in the community
The press didn't rest
Makin' news out of you mama
Now is the time to show them that he who laughs last laughs the best, that's
the way it is (x2)

Hold on just a little bit longer now
I know it's not easy for you mama but your tears will turn to laughter now

There's lady that I love so much
She's always on my mind, night and day
But people told me she's in love
With another guy in town
This news makes me so sad
I'm confused, I don't know what to do about it
How will I know if she loves me
I'm confused
How will I know if she loves me
Does she really care for me
How will I know if she loves me
I'm confused
I've tried to get her off my mind
But the love she gives to me, draws me every time
I've tried to get her off my mind
But the love she gives to me is so strong
Each time when we were together
She use to tell me that I'm the only guy
[I felt this myself to this woman]?
Now I'm so confused
People told me she's in love
With another guy in town
This really makes me so sad
I'm confused
What am I going to do about it?
Oh God

How will I know if she loves me
How will I know if she loves me

You know she's the only one for me

I've got to take a little time
A little time to think things over
I'd better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
This big mountain, I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the crowds, I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now
I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
[Chorus]
I want to know what love is
Reggae can show me
I want to feel what love is
Reggae can show me
I'm going to take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like reggae has finally found me
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now
I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

<@#Lucky_Dube_Kiss_No_Frog.txt#@>
She wanted to be like her mother in many ways
The way she walks, the way she smiles
Over and above all
The way she brushes her hair back
She heard it all being said to her
Saw it all happeneing in her life
Like every woman
She's been trapped in this fairy tale
Find a frog, kiss it
And hope it would turn into a handsome prince
How many frogs had she kissed in her life
None of them turned into a handsome prince
The little girl made a decision in her life, oh
And she promised to keep it
I'm gonna kiss no frog
Everything went the way she wanted
Every dream was what she wanted
But when it came to finding someone
To spend her life with
Same old story
Find a frog, kiss it
And hope it'll turn into a prince, oh
Better to be alone and happy
Then being with someone and being unhappy
All your life
I'm gonna kiss no frog

Standing alone, in the middle of the city
Man looks around him
He hardly recognizes what he sees

Rivers used to run here
Birds used to fly around here
But now it is a different jungle
A concrete jungle

He' s a lonely man
In the middle of the city
Missing home so badly
Man' s own creation
Has become his worst enemy
Weapons of destruction
Have brought about
Human extinction...wo...ho

But now it is
A different jungle
A concrete jungle

In the middle of the city
Missing home so badly

So I've gotta try to keep it inside

If it was my arms you were running to
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life
If I could have just one wish
I'd wish that you were mine
I would hold you near, kiss away those tears
I'd be so good to you, baby
You're the one I want next to me

You'd never know one lonely night
I want to reach out and feel you beside me, beside me
Right here, right now, right beside me baby, baby
And take you in my arms right now
And scream I love you right out loud

I'll find the strength to turn to you and say

At times I don't believe that I can't control my heart
It skips a beat even before the Lovin' starts
I seem to fall in love
With just the slighest touch
And even the little things
Begin to mean so much
And though I should hold out longer
Just to make sure things get stronger
Chorus:
You tell me that you love me
And before I'm sure you really do
You say you love me more and more each day
And that's when my sensitivity gets in the way
It's hard for me to play those fancy games of love
Just say the right thing baby and it's automatic love
I try not to let you know
How easily I go
Off into lovers' land
Just when you touch my hand
And though I should wait to see
How things are gonna really be

Hey baby, what's your game?

How can you go on day to day
Without someone to care
If I wanted to take that chance
If I wanted to be your man
You tell me that you feel lonely
But you won't love nobody
You tell me that you got a big heart
But you won't love no one
You lie and you moan and you bitch and you groan
But you won't let nobody in to love
What am I gonna do?
Hey there baby, you're not shy
We talk for hours and you seem just fine girl, but...
Every time I bring up love
You run for cover
Suppose I told you something that's true
Suppose I told you that I want you
You tell me all the guys want you
But you won't love nobody
You keep your heart in seclusion
And you won't love no one
You game and you flirt and you talk a lot of dirt
But you don't want nobody to love
What are you gonna do?
Heart feels empty, there's no one home
Nights are longer when you're alone
You tell me that you feel lonely
But you won't love nobody
You tell me that you got a big heart
But you won't love no one
You lie and you moan and you bitch and you groan
But you won't let nobody in to love
What am I gonna do?
You tell me all the guys want you
But you won't love nobody
You keep your heart in seclusion
And you won't love no one
You game and you flirt and you talk a lot of dirt
But you don't want nobody to love
What are you gonna do?
<@#Luther_Vandross_She_Loves_Me_Back.txt#@>
I had a lover
Who did not love me back
I did everything that a guy could do
I couldn't do more than that
I felt so helpless
I thought things would never change
Then I saw my girl
walking down on the avenue one day
I said, "I wanna talk to you"
I wasn't afraid to cry
Emotion was in my eyes
She took me on a natural high
When I said, "I love you girl of mine"
And then she said, "I love you back"
She loves me back
I had a lover
Who did not love me back
I bought her candy canes and dolls and flowers
And I took her to Coney Island
Now, who could do more than that?
It was a problem
Until on that fateful day
I saw my girl walking down on the avenue
She said, "I wanna talk to you"
She wasn't afraid to cry
Emotion was in her eyes
She took me on a natural high
I said, "I love you girl of mine"
And then she said, "I love you back"
She loves me back
I don't think our love's gonna lose
There ain't no way
I'm taking my time to convince her
That love's here to stay, hey
Love is here to stay because
She loves me back
We weren't afraid to cry
Emotion was in our eyes
She took me on a natural high
I said, "I love you girl of mine"
And then she said, "I love you back"
She loves me back

SINCE I LOST MY BABY
William Robinson, Jr and Warren Moore
(album: Forever, For Always, For Love - 1982)
The sun is shining, there's plenty of light
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby
Oh since I lost my baby
The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore, and with money I'm poor
Since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby)
Oh since I lost my baby
My baby, my baby, my baby
Next time I'll be kinder, to my baby
Won't you please help me find her (I've got to find that girl)
Someone just remind her (Someone just remind her x2)
Of this love she left behind her (Of Me)
Till I find her I'll be trying to (Till I find her, I'll be trying to)
Everyday I'm growing kinder
Tryin'
Inclined to
Find her
Inclined to find my baby (My baby)
Been looking everywhere (My baby)
Hey baby I really really care
My determination is fading fast
So fast, so fast so fast
Exploration is a thing of the past
I can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad
So sad, so sad, I'm sad, so sad, so sad
Since I lost my baby (since I lost my girl)
Oh Since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby)
I feel so bad, (Got to find that girl, I've got to find that girl)
I feel so sad, yeah-eh,
Since I lost my-, since I lost my-, my, my, my, my baby
Cause everything is gone, (Got to find that girl, I've got to find that girl)
And it's hard girl, to carry on,
Since I lost my-, since I lost my-, my, my, my, my baby
I know it's up to me, (Got to find that girl, I've got to find that girl)
What's gonna happen to me
Since I lost my baby
What's gonna happen to me
Oh I don't, I don't know, what I'm gonna do no, no, no, no I don't know
Since I lost my baby,
I don't know, I don't know, What to do without, my girl, my girl, my girl, I
don't know Since I lost my baby,
I can't find her no where, no where, no where, no where, no where oh no
(Don't know, I don't know, since I lost my baby, I don't know, since I lost my
baby, yeah)
Yeah, I can't find them no where, no where, no where, no where no where, no
where, no where, no where
(Don't know, I don't know, since I lost my baby, I don't know, since I lost my
baby, yeah)
I can't find them no where, no where, no where, no where, no where
(Don't know, I don't know, since I lost my baby, I don't know, since I lost my
baby, yeah)
I can't find them no where, no where, no where, no where, no where (fade)
<@#Luther_Vandross_What_The_World_Needs_Now.txt#@>
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
[Chorus]
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone
Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross
Enough to last
Till the end of time
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone
Lord we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheatfields
Enough to grow
And there are sunbeams and moonbeams
Enough to shine
So listen, Lord
If you want to know
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
[Chorus]
More love, more love
Everybody know that
(the world needs love)
Everybody, Everybody knows that
(this world needs love)
This world, the whole world
(the whole world needs love)
The whole world, the whole world
(more love, more lovin')
There's not enough
<@#Luther_Vandross_You_Stopped_Loving_Me.txt#@>
You know
I've had a lot of things happen to me in my life
And yet
I don't spend much of my time
Feelin' sad
I don't let anything turn my sunshine to rain
I never have
Well, people have told me I'm not worth the time of day
Said I was over the hill
And it's been said that I always get in the way
But nothin' seemed to hurt me till
You stopped lovin'
You stopped lovin' me
Why'd you do that
You stopped lovin'
You stopped lovin' me
Lovin' me
And I don't want to do
Don't know what I'm gonna do, my love

(You stopped)

I just can't get it together since
(You stopped)
(You stopped)
(You stopped)
Oh
Out of your love, my love came
You made me strong
Well, it's just a shame, I don't know who or what to blame
Now that you're gone
I walk down the avenue right where I first met you
That nothin' else could do, yeah, yeah
Not a place I go through that I don't run into
Somethin' to remind me that
You stopped lovin'
You stopped lovin' me
Why'd you do that
You stopped lovin', oh
You stopped lovin' me
Lovin' me
And I don't want to do
Don't know what I'm gonna do, my love

These ol' white lines on the highway
Lord its all I know
Seems like I've been out all my life
But I just can't let it go
Oh you know I ain't complainin'
'Cause I can tell, lord its just your plan
So I thank you for what I have
And that's a song
All I have is a song
I keep thinkin' about the friends I've had
And all the meories we've shared
They keep comin' back, time and time again
Sometimes I wonder was it worth the cost
And all I've lost
Oh you know I ain't complainin'
'Cause I can tell, lord its just your plan
So I thank you for what I have
And that's a song
All I have is a song
So I play this song one more time, 'cause lord its all I know
I'll be standin' at your door following along
'Cause all I have is a song
And this song will live on
All I have is a song
A piece of me to live on

When you see them on the concrete it's their spirit that's harder
Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler
Where your ego meets defeat and your pride can't get no smaller
Yeah I'm a backstreet crawler

I guess you might say it sure is a shame
I used to have everything oh how my life has changed
Yeah I'm broken and torn I've never been free
Lost everything that meant a thing to me

Justice was forsaken when they let the wrong man go
Johnny Law was shady first one on the scene
They called it murder in the first degree
Dead man walkin', walkin' down the hall
Judge says guilty but still he's standin' tall
Dead man walkin' they say he broke the law
Takin' the life of another man who done his daughter wrong
[Chorus]
Light 'em up, lay 'em down
Take 'em out but there's more of us around
When wrong is right and right is wrong
Oh there's a dead man walkin' tonight
Walk on [Repeat: x3]
If I ask you a question, would you tell the truth
Would you pull the trigger if you were standin' in his shoes
Dead man walkin' I know what I'd do
If someone hurt my baby I'd be walkin' too

Yeah,
So if I ask you that question, would you tell the truth?

And I love my brand new car

Or else I'm gonna lose my mind

Keep your feet planted on the ground

Son you're gonna find out when you're older
There's always been the hand of God restin' right there on your shoulder
Will it be Hell or Heaven on earth the choice is up to you
Look to the sky, the answer is clear
Are you gonna, live life for all it's worth
Choose Hell, or Heaven on earth
If you live it right, there's nothing to fear
'Cause you'll find Heaven right here
Saw a man the other day, had it made in every way
Till his greed brought him down
He was blinded by the city lights, now he shivers in the cold tonight
Who will save the lifeguard when he's about to drown
Will it be Hell or Heaven on earth the choice is up to you
Look to the sky, the answer is clear
Are you gonna, live life for all it's worth
Choose Hell, or Heaven on earth
If you live it right, there's nothing to fear
'Cause you'll find Heaven right here
You know you're gonna walk through fire
You know your gonna feel the pain
You're gonna lose, if you want to win the game
And every time your heart is breakin'
And every time your faith is shaken
Remember what mama said that day
Hope when my time has come
I've left enough to build upon
Ain't no one gonna say, "I didn't try"
Here's why

Look to the sky, the answer is clear

And leave me blue

But never one like you
I never dreamed I could feel so empty
But now I'm down
I never dreamed that I would beg you
But woman I need you now
It seems to me, I took your love for granted
It feels to me, this time I was wrong, so wrong
Oh Lord, how I feel so lonely
I said woman, won't you come back home
I tried to do what my daddy told me,
But I think he knew
Someday I would find

Put a dead end to all of Bobby's fun oh

That my destiny was right before my eyes
If it were up to me to travel through this life

I'm such a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man
I remember all the things I've been through
Gave myself to all those people I once knew

Let's pray to God

"Wipe those tears from your eyes"

Had to walk the walk and talk the talk
And try to be a man
I swear the wind took me away
But now I'm here again today, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm back on the mean streets (back on the mean streets)
Oh, it's the only thing I know
Never change me (never change me)
It was born in my soul
And it don't take much to make me mad
Push me a little and I bring back
I've a mean streak, oh
Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets
Somebody stole my money, I heard a brother say
Used to we'd fight it out, that was yesterday
Just cause you're packin' son, don't make you a man
If you shoot to kill, what's the thrill
Why don't you understand
Each time I walk outside my door
We need a change and that's for sure
[Chorus]
Do you ever think about where you're goin'
Have you ever thought about where you been
Will you ever pass this way again
There's a fear and you know it
But inside, you can't show it
No where for you to run and hide

I could get out of bed and maybe I'll just have another cigarette
As long as I can remember seems all I've ever done is work
The boss is a jerk and I ain't payin' the rent
Spent my whole life shovelin' dirt
[Chorus]
I'm gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Can't take this anymore
Gonna go downtown pick up my girl
There ain't nothin' worth waitin' for
Take the road less traveled
Spend my life behind the wheel
Gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Freedom made out of steel
There's a knock on the door from the sheriff
Askin' me where I was last night
Seems somebody lookin' a lot like me
Had takin' up with his wife
He said son if I ever catch him
There's gonna be some hell to pay
He'll be gone for good if I see him again
'cause I just might blow him away
[Chorus]
What's a poor man supposed to do
Stuck in the middle and trapped by the blues
Baby, I'm sick of these blues
I'm gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Can't take this anymore
Gonna go downtown pick up my girl
There ain't nothin' worth waitin' for
Well I don't care if I'm wrong or right
Gotta split this town tonight
Gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Live my life behind the wheel
I'm gonna get outta hell in my dodge
My freedom made out of steel

But only one things gettin' clearer
The way I live I'm lucky to be alive

Said I wasn't gonna do it
Next thing ya know
Here I go again
Talked myself right into it
Supposed to be to work an hour ago
When I passed that boss stormin' down the road
Now there's an angel on my shoulder
Thinkin' she can win me over
The Devil's got my number don't you know
There I go lying to myself
Said I wasn't gonna do it
Next thing ya know
Here I go again
Talked myself right into it
Maybe, Maybe, have I gone too far this time
Maybe, Maybe, is my conscience workin' overtime, nah
There's a knockout Georgia peach givin' me the eye
Well if the truth be known I'm just a little shy
Turns out she wasn't alone
She had a six foot chaperon
But that didn't slow me down
Don't ask me why
There I go lying to myself
Said I wasn't gonna do it
Next thing ya know
Here I go again
I got no one to blame except myself
Said I wasn't gonna do it
Next thing ya know
Here I go again
Talked myself right into it
Talked myself,
Talked myself right into it
Talked myself, talked myself
Talked myself right
Said I wasn't gonna do it
Talked myself, talked myself
Talked myself right into it
Talked myself, talked myself
Talked myself right into it

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Now they call you Prince Charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Hey, you're a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before
One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell

Well, have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
Well, if you don't know what I mean
Won't you stand up and scream?
'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know
Too many lives they've spent across the ocean
Too much money been spent upon the moon
Well, until they make it right
I hope they never sleep at night
They better make some changes
And do it soon
Well, they're goin ruin the air we breathe
Lord have mercy
They're gonna ruin us all, by and by
I'm telling all you beware
I don't think they really care
I think they just sit up there
And just get high
Well, have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
Well, if you don't know what I mean
Won't you stand up and scream?

Dig down and tell me what you find
Back in the pages left behind
Everybody's got a story
Ours ain't no different from the rest
Each step we take, it's just a test
On this broken road to glory
When we were young and brave
We fought to save the one thing that we loved
We took the scared vow and signed our names in blood
And through it all, we kept on shining
We fought the doubt and faced the pain
We built it up from dust and ashes
To cheat the odds and rise again
There's been a million miles of road
Another million miles to go
Still giving me a reason
Most times your first could be your last
God give me one more second chance
Oh something to believe in
Though it's easier to give it up
Then to give it all you got
Don't let it make you something that you're not
And through it all, we kept on shining
We fought the doubt and faced the pain
We built it up from dust and ashes
To cheat the odds and rise again
And through it all the wheels kept turning
Above the tears the truth stands tall, yeah
Here we are, one in spirit
We stand together through it all
Oh, through it all
When we were young and brave
We fought to save the one thing that we loved
We took the scared vow and signed our names in blood
Repeat the second chorus
The wheels keep turning, through it all
Oh, through it all

Feel just like I could cry
Little squirrel sitting on a flat slanted rock
Wondering where the winter meal is coming from
Tired of fighting for it, gonna lay down my gun
Just know that my work is done
Just know that my work is done
Little boy blue now come blow your horn

A long long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had one chance
I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for awhile
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the bible tells you so
Now do you believe in rock n roll
And can music save your mortal soul
And can it teach me how to dance real slow
Well I know that your in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
And I did Gods rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage brock of luck
With a great carnation and a pick up truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing
[Chorus]
Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing
This will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
Well I went down to the sachet store
Where I heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
Well now in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all broken
And the three men I admire the most,
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
I started singing
Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing
This will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die
Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing
This will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die
We started singing
We started singing
We started singing
We started singing

(Eva:)
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
[Chorus:]
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina
[Chorus]
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee
And I detest all my sins
Because I dread the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell
But most of all because I love Thee,
And I want so badly to be good
It's so hypnotic
The way he pulls on me
It's like the force of gravity
Right up under my feet
It's so erotic
This feeling can't be beat
It's coursing through my whole body
Feel the heat
I got that burnin' hot desi-i-i-re
And no one can put out my fi-i-i-re
It's coming right down through the wi-i-i-re
Here it comes
When I hear them eight o eight drums

Hey, ey, ey, ey

I'm like, hey, ey, ey, ey

You got me in the zone

Turn me on

And no one can put out my fi-i-i-re

Hold me closer, full disclosure
Let it out, let me in
On your knees, confess to me
Every doubt, every sin
That's how love's supposed to be
I wanna know what you're all about
You're beautiful when you're broken down
Let your walls crumble to the ground

All the dark corners of your mind
Show me yours, and I'll show you mine

Liquid love
Pouring down like rain

Just like warm summer rains
Yes, your love is like liquid

I made A rock'n'roll
When I tried givin' in, to make money had to turn down low
They said, "why be proud, don't play so loud, be like us
And get A sound that's real thin
Wear A polyester suit, act happy, look cute, get A haircut
And buy small gear"
That's when I turned to them and said, hold it, right there
Well it's more to me than just A job, and while I'm playin'
You won't get robbed
Nobody tells A man how to play, it just ain't that way
Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me say
All men play on ten, never gonna turn down again
All men play on ten, never gonna turn down again
I'm jet fuel honey, plug me into 220, step back and let
My fingers fly
While I'm burning up my gear, there's A fire in your ear
That won't stop until the day you die
I really put it to the floor when I hear the crowd roar
Oh, it's music to my ears when they scream
Then I run back the power rack and deck, all of my gear
Well it's more to me than just A job, and while I'm playing
You won't get robbed
Nobody tells A man how to play, it just ain't that way
Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me say
All men play on ten, never gonna turn down again
All men play on ten, never gonna turn down again
Well it's more to me than just A job, and while I'm playing

He broke the laws of the elders
So they plucked out his eye,
Took his land and fortune,
Left him to die
Bound on the shoreline,
Left for the tide,
Sees his life blood leaving...
Circling lower the vultures fly
These bones may be broken
But the spirit can't die
And the Gods see his anguish
And give him a sign
From the floor of the ocean
The ship of the lost souls rise
And they take him where no one sleeps
while the undead cry
Where no one sleeps while the undead cry
And in the world above
The elders sing,
On his land they live
Let death's bell ring
He was met at the gate of Hades
By the Guardian of the Lost Souls,
The Keeper of the Unavenged
And He did say to him:
"Let ye not pass Abaddon, return to the world from whence you came
And seek payment not only for thine own anguish
But vindicate the souls of the unavenged"
And they placed in his hands a sword made for him called Vengeance
Forged in brimstone and tempered by the woeful tears of the unavenged
And to carry him on his journey back to the upper world
They brought forth their demon horse called Black Death
A grim steed so fearsome in might and black in color
That he could stand as one with the darkness
Save for his burning eyes of crimson fire
And on that night they rode up from Hell
The pounding of his hooves did clap like thunder
Burning, death, destruction raping the daughters and wives
In blood I take my payment in full with their lives
No one can escape me on Black Death I ride
When kissed by the sword of Vengeance
Your head lays there by your side
I take the lives of all that I once knew
The torn flesh of a slow death waits for you
Burning, death, destruction raping the daughters and wives
In blood I take my payment in full with their lives
I spare not land or servants my wake is smoke and flame
I take their wives and daughters
They stand there watching, watching
Hoping to gain their livese but when I'm through they know they must pay

Quit my job this morning sad forever
I would hold my head up high
Cause I need Metal in my life
Just like an eagle needs to fly
So I walked outside into the street
From a hall I heard thunder and screams
I walked inside so I could hear
And the guy beside me gave me a beer
He had his fist up in the air
And called me brother said my friends
Are over there
They call themselves Immortals
They're the truest of the true
And in that very moment
I was born again like you
They said hold your head up high
Raise your fist up in the air
Play Metal louder than Hell
Louder than Hell

Know my words are true
There's a battle for true Metal

Awake me I'm dreaming

As my Chariot strives in the Storm
With the hot blood of Battle
I wait in my saddle
I live and I'll die by the sword
Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder
Man and beast will be torn asunder
Into the Fight I own the right
To be the King of kings
All the days of his life
He walked without fear
All who's lives he touched
Were made better for knowing him
As he returned goodness with good
So too his justice and retribution unfailing
As my sword is my soul
Then let all who stand before me know
I bring a storm and Magic wind
The Kingdom of the Kings
I summon the demons that live in the wind
As my Chariot strives in the Storm

Up through the clouds where eagles fly
Wind and rain beat down on one so strong

Tall as a mountain, I'm gonna tear through the sky

Just climb

I am all, I live in the hearts of men

And the day will come, when we all must die
And enter the mountainside
I have no fear
Death and glory

Grand father, tell me a story!
All right, go and get your storybook
No, no, not one of those, a real story
A real story?
Yes! Tell me about when you were a boy
Well, then, I shall have to take you back with me
A long way in time
It was my thirteenth year on a cold winter's day
As I walked through the enchanted forest
I heard the sounds of horses and men at arms
I felt compelled to walk on and find the place of these sounds
And when the forest did clear I was standing on a hill
Before me there was a great plane
Upon it the armies of the world,standing, waiting
I thought to myself, for whom or for what are they waiting?
Suddenly a gust of wind come up from the north
There appeared a lone rider, holding a sword of steel
Then from the south came another, bearing a battle axe
From the east came a third, holding a spiked club
And finally, from the west a rider
Who wielded a great hammer of war, with them came their
Soldiers of death, followed by an army of immortals
They were few in number
But the look in their eyes told all who beheld them
That they would leave this day only in victory or death
And there was a great silence
My heart began to pound, storm clouds filled the sky with darkness
Rain came and four winds blew with such anger
That I held fast to a tree
I watched the four riders raise their weapons into the air
Without warning, screaming their war cry they led the attack
Down to the battle they rode
They met the armies of the world with a mighty clash
I could feel the groundshake, the earth drank much blood that day
Each of the four, was into himself a whirlwind of doom
When the smoke did clear, many thousands were dead
There was much blood and gore
Their bodies lay broken and scattered across the battle field
Like brown leaves blown by the wind
And I saw the four ride together to the top of the hill
While below them the soldiers of death assembled
All those who would now swear allegiance to them
And the four spoke the words of the warriors prayer
Gods of war I call you, my sword is by my side
I seek a life of honor free from all false pride
I will crack the whip with a bold mighty hail
Cover me with death if I should ever fail
Glory, majesty, unity, hail, hail,hail
And as I stood and looked on, I heard the armies of the world
Hail them without end, and their voices of victory
Carried long and far throughout the land
Well, That's it, did you like the story?
Yeah, it was great!
Oh, good, I'm glad, now off to bed with you
Grandfather?
Yes?
Who were those four men?
Who were they? They were the Metal Kings

Black clouds on the horizon
Great thunder and burning rain

To the giants who died that day
He held up his hammer high
And called to Odin for a sign

Crush the infidels in your way
By your hammer let none be saved
Live to die on that final day

Swing your hammer to crack the sky
Lift your cape so that you might fly
Back to Odin and the gods on high
And leave the mortal world

Eating tar and gasoline

Waiting on the line

Nothing else takes us to get these thrills

My blood is nitroglycerine

Burning, burning, burning, burning
Ready to explode
Don't want nothing left of me to scrape off the road

Wheels of fire burn the night
Ride across the sky

Blown into a thousand pieces
Scattered everywhere

Wheels of fire burn the night
Ride across the sky

It's alright
It's alright
<@#Mariah_Carey_Bliss.txt#@>
Touch me baby
It feels so amazing
And you stimulate me
And you make me want you
More and more
What do I do
What do I say
Does it feel good
To you this way I wanna be
All that you need
Boy what's your fantasy?
Setter hold on, ready or not
Baby my love ain't gonna stop
Take it down low
Make me get high
[Chorus]
Ooh my love goes
On and on and on and on and on
My love goes
On and on and on and on and on [Repeat x2]
See, all my love's for you
Baby don't you rush me, no
You got to take it slow
Just let the feeling grow
Until it overflows
Anyway you want it now
Just gotta tell me how
To give you everything
You've even dared to dream
Isn't it bliss
To you right now
Don't be subdued
Say it out loud
Ain't it a sweet
Luscious delight
When you're immersed in my
Ocean of love
Coming on strong
Baby I've been waiting so long
Revel inside of paradise
[Chorus]
So
Gimme some pure delectable love
Like I'm gonna give to you
Keep coming around
Cause I won't run out
I can't get enough of you
My love goes on
[Chorus]
All my love's for you
<@#Mariah_Carey_Bringin_On_The_Heartache.txt#@>
Gypsy, sittin lookin pretty
A broken rose and laughin' eyes
You're a mystery
Always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searchin'
Searchin for a feelin'
But it's easy come and easy go
Oh - I'm sorry but it's true
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin all the best of me
Oh can't you see
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see
CHORUS 1:
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartache
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see
Oh
You're such a secret
Misty eyed and shady
Baby, how you hold the key
Oh, you're like a candle
Your flame slowly fadin'
Burnin' out and burnin' me
Can't you see
Just tryin' to say to you
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin all the best of me
Oh can't you see
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see
CHORUS 2:
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartache
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see
Can't you see
No
No
No-
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache

You're bringin on the heartbreak
You're bringin on the heartache

Oh, when you walk by every night
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kinda hectic inside
Mmm, baby I'm so into you
Darling, if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Images of rapture
Creep into me slowly
As you're going to my head
And my heart beats faster
When you take me over
Time and time and time again
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend
My laughing boyfriend
There's no beginning
And there is no end
Feels like I'm dreaming
But I'm not sleeping
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
Sweet sweet fantasy baby

Ah... Ahh... Ahh...

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
La la la... Ahh... Ahh... Ooh...
Ahh... Ooh...
Once upon a time, we swore not to say goodbye
Something got a hold of us and we changed
Then you sat alone in pride
And I sat at home and cried
How'd our fairytale just end up this way
We went round for round 'till we knocked love out
We were laying in the ring, not making a sound
And if that's a metaphor of you and I
Why is it so hard to say goodbye
Chorus:
I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do...
Still can't shake you off...
I can't wait to break through
These emotional changes...
Seems like such a lost cause
I can't wait to face you,
Break you down so low
There's no place left to go...
I can't wait to hate you...
Uh uh uh... Ah ah ah ahhhhh...
Oh this was a love phenomenon no one could explain
And I wish I could press reset and feel that feeling again
I sit and press rewind and watch us every night...
Wanna pause it, but I can't make it stay
(Just gotta let it play)
We went round for round 'till we knocked love out
We were laying in the ring, not making a sound
And if that's a metaphor of you and I
Why is it so hard to say goodbye
Chorus:
I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do...
Still can't shake you off...
I can't wait to break through
These emotional changes...
Seems like such a loss cause
I can't wait to face you,
Break you down so low
There's no place left to go...
I can't wait to hate you...
Uh uh uh... Ah ah ah ahhh...
No need to call my phone cause I changed my number today
A matter a fact I think I'm moving away (away)
Sorry, the frustration's got me feeling that way
And I just keep having one last thing to say
And I just wanna hold you, touch you,
Feel you, be near you, I miss you baby baby baby...
I'm tired of trying to fake through
But there's nothing I can do...
Boy I can't wait to hate you...
Chorus:
I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do...
Still can't shake you off...
I can't wait to break through
These emotional changes...
Seems like such a lost cause
I can't wait to face you,
Break you down so low
There's no place left to go...
I can't wait to hate you... Baby...
Ah ah ah ahhhhh...
I can't wait to H. A. T. E. You
'Cause right now I need you
Can't wait to make you go (go) (repeat to end)
<@#Mariah_Carey_I_Wish_You_Well.txt#@>
This goes out to you and you and you
You know who you are
Hmm hmm hmm
When glory days turn to stormy nights
You must have been so petrified
Didn't you, didn't you feel so cold
You against the world in a losing fight
Captive of your demons inside
So you sought an enemy
(I'm not your enemy. He lives in you, you know it's true)
Like times before to mock ignorantly
(But the Lord said love, love your enemy so just...)
Take heed to the Word it's time
Check Proverbs 19:29
Don't cry
I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well
I truly wanted solidarity
Still wearing my blinders back then
(So much I didn't see)
I weep for what I dreamed we all could be
I'll keep you in prayer till the end
Still bruised, still walk on eggshells
Same frightened child, hide to protect myself
(Can't believe I still need to protect myself from you)
But you can't manipulate me like before
Examine first John chapter 4 verse 4
And
I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well
Be strong in the Lord and power of His might
If my shows of gratitude are minuscule
Inside your mind, sorry
(I'm so sorry, please forgive me)
There's only so much I can do I love you and did all that I could
Maybe when you're cursing me
You don't feel so incomplete
But we've all made mistakes
Felt the guilt and self-hate
I know you've been there for me plenty
Maybe still got love for me
But let him without sin cast the first stone brethren
But who remains standing then
Not you not I see Philippians 4:9
(Put it into practice and the God of Peace will be with you)
So
I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well
(He who the Son sets free is free indeed)
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
Surely God is my salvation
I will trust and not be afraid
The Lord, the Lord is my salvation
I will trust in Him
Yes, I know that I know that I know that I know
But I have had God's help to this very day
And so I stand here and testify
To small and great alike
So the more you curse me
The more you're blessing me
The Word said it
Love your enemies
Do good to those who curse you
Pray for those who mistreat you
Psalms 129:2
They have greatly oppressed me from my youth
But they have not gained victory over me
(In Jesus' name)
I wish you well
He that keeps his mind state on the Lord
He will keep them in perfect peace

Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible
I don't want to lose you to somebody else
But I can't go on contradicting myself
I know that it's pointless to keep hodling on
But something inside tells me you're where I belong
Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible
I know that it's unrealistic to think
That things will get better
Between you and me
'Cause time after time
You just shatter my heart
But when I'm without you
I feel so torn apart
Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible
Boy
I wish
That I didn't
Love you so
(oh oo oh oo oh oh)
I try to tell you no
But you're irresistible
(oh oo oh oo whoah oh)
See I only want it to be like it was
When we got together and first fell in love
Sometimes it's like I'm addicted to you
This love's so consuming
I don't know what to do
Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible
Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible
Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible

Born in a lowly manger

And Joseph was his earthly father
Three wise men came from afar
They were guided by a shining star
To see King Jesus where He lay
In a manger filled with hay

Oh, lullaby of birdland
That's what I always hear,
When you sigh,
Never in my wordland could there be ways to reveal
in a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo, when they love?
That's the kind of magic music we make with our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry,
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because were in love
Lullaby Lullaby
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo, when they love?
That's the kind of magic music we make with our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye

Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we're in love

See your smile
And I won't hear you laugh anymore
Every night
I won't see you walk through that door
'Cause time wasn't on your side
It isn't right
I can't say I love you
It's too late to tell you
But I really need you to know
No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby
Baby can you hear me
Wherever you may be tonight
Are you near me
I need you to be by my side
'Cause I never said goodbye
It isn't right
I should have said I love you
Why didn't I just tell you
God knows I need you to know
No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby

<@#Mariah_Carey_One_And_Only.txt#@>
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground so, so lonely
I'm lookin' for my one and only
I'm riding home in pain again, baby
But that don't mean shit to you
You're currently engaged
In an intimate conversation
With a young groupie or two
They say "Players only love you
When they're playing games"
Still, I gave my heart to you
I should have stayed away
Like my friends all told me to
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground so, so lonely
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
Why can't I find my one and only
See, I'm looking for a man that'll rub me slow
Make me sing real high
When he goes down low
But see, it ain't just a physical thing
He's gotta treat me affectionately
And I gotta know he won't betray my trust
Just like every other motherfucker does
Is this just an impossible dream, baby
Too elusive to pursue
It's been such a sad and windy road for me
Just searchin' for the truth
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground so, so lonely
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
Why can't I find my one and only
Now you know I roll a Beamer and a Benz
And I'm dishin' out N's
While you trippin' on a playa
Baller, havin' bitter conversations
While we're rollin' on 24's
And I know you got doubts
Why you listen to what people talk about
You ain't figured out why they call ya
The heavy steady hatin' cause
You rollin' on 24's
See how your money flows
You dress in designer clothes
From head to the toe
You ain't satisfied, well tell me
What you lookin' for
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Well, I'll be your one and only
If you give me a chance
I'll make the change for you, girl
I know I ain't been the most faithful
Nigga in the world
But let's stay together so we can shine like pearls
Spittin it to ya while I roll a shisha of fire
To kiss your lips, I desire
Twist and Mariah, together like a
Grip on the tire
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Well, come on Shorty, let me make it better
We can do whatever
While we're sittin' on suede and leather
Thinkin' through the city
While we rollin' lonely
Let's kick it in the Chi
I know I messed up with ya, I ain't gon' lie
I know you were feelin'
You really know your guy
But baby girl, I ain't mean to blow your high
Let me pick the pieces up
And put them back together cause I want to be with you
Don't want to leave you lonely
Ride with you like a homey, never, no phony
Shorty, can I be your one and only
Every time, oh mm
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground so, so lonely
Why I'm looking for my one and only
Every time I turn around ah, ha ha ha ha
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
Why can't I find my one and only
Still lookin' for my one and only
Every time I turn around ah, ha ha ha ha
I find my heart in pieces on the ground so, so lonely
Yeah, I'm lookin' for my one and only
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Every time I turn around ah, ha ha ha ha
I find my heart in pieces on the ground

Why can't I find my one and only, ah

Forty days and forty dreams
Darkened visions, incline the reason
Philosophy cannot soothe your soul
But in the mirror the truth will be known
I will show you your fears
Just look in the mirror
You can conquer your fears
Look in deep
See unobtrusive, through the lies
No longer afraid, afraid to die
Standing alone
And on the day after
All hell breaks loose
The battle will be fought
With stick and stone
The beast has our backs
Against the wall
And the power to devour
One and all
[Refrain]
Save The Day
Save The Day
Save The Day
Bring a day of reckoning
The bowels of the Earth
Spit up the flame and fire
To burn away every foul and evil thing
No path will be left for
The heartless liar
Who will be left to claim
This land and to be king
[Refrain]

I would give up everything
Before I'd seperate myself from you
After so much suffering
I finally found unvarnished truth
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heartache would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life
Thank God I found you
(Yeah yeah)
I was lost without you

My every wish and every dream

Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life

'Cause baby I'm so thankful I found you

Whoaaaaaa
Oh yeah
I will give you everything (everything)
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do (oh no)

You
<@#Mariah_Carey_The_Biggest_Part_Of_Me.txt#@>
If you've ever had
A broken heart
You promise yourself
To never let it happen again
Ddon't wanna think about it
Don't wanna dream about it
But it finds
It's way back into your head
The i love you' 's
The i need you' 's
They're only words
That people say
They're just words
When they're hand in hand
With the games that people play
If i never see
The top of a mountain
If i never set
One foot in the sea
I promise you
I'll love you forever
You'll always be
The biggest part of me
[Chorus:]
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will follow
You've changed the way
That i need to think
In promise you
I'll love you forever
You'll always be
The biggest part of me
Take a look at me
I let you have my heart
I swore i'd never let it
Happen again
I'm not mad about it
But i know on you girl
I can depend
'I love you' 's
'I need you' 's
Are only words
That people say
They're just words
When they're hand in hand
With the games
That people play
If i never see
The top of a mountain
If i never set
One foot in the sea
I promise you
I'll love you forever
You'll always be
The biggest part of me
(Chorus)
I believe
Yes, i believe
I believe in love again
And i swear
I'll always be there
Isn't that the way
That it should be?
If i never see
The top of a mountain
If i never set
One foot in the see
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_A_Stranger_On_Earth.txt#@>
Some fools don't know what's right from wrong
But somehow those folks belong
Me, I try for all I'm worth
But I still remain a stranger on this earth
Some people gloom, other folk cry
Me, I have to struggle to keep alive
Ever since the day of my birth
I've been a stranger, stranger on this earth
I try to be what all folks should
Forgetting the bad and doing good
But no matter how I try
My troubles always multiply
Now I've been doing the best I can
Ever since life began
Some day when I prove my worth
I won't be a stranger on earth
Now I've been living the best I can
Ever since my life began
The day's gonna come when I prove my worth
And I won't be no stranger
No, I won't be a stranger
On this earth
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_As_Tears_Go_By.txt#@>
It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
My riches can't buy everything,
I want to hear the children sing.
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Doing things I used to do
They think are new,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm ...
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Before_The_Poison.txt#@>
Before the poison, I wasn't down
If you'd been there, if you'd been around
I couldn't hear, couldn't hear a sound
I was floating above the ground
Before the poison, I had lost my fear
Maybe too happy to even care
Safe in my dream, couldn't see the fog
Comin' on, coming from nowhere, my name to call
No more to say, nothin's comin' my way
No you, no me, no more, how can it be?
Nowhere to run, out of nowhere poison
They sense the end, what's left for you, my friend?
Before the poison, I'd laugh out loud
I'd see your face in any crowd
But speak softly without fear
Hold on to me, hold me near
No more to say, nothin's comin' my way
No you, no me, no more, how can it be?
Nowhere to run, out of nowhere poison
They sense the end, what's left for you, my friend?
What's left for you, my friend?
What's left for you, my friend?
What's left for you?
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Beware_Of_Darkness.txt#@>
Watch out now, take care,
Beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles
In your fingertips.
Beware of darkness.
Watch out now, take care,
Beware the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night.
Beware of sadness.
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore
And what is more,
That is not what
You are here for.
Watch out now, take care,
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly,
Beware of maya.
Watch out now, take care,
Beware of greedy leaders.
They'll take you where you should not go,
While weeping atlas cedars,
They just want to grow, grow and grow.
Beware of darkness.
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Black_Girl.txt#@>
Black girl, black girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night ?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shivered the whole night long.
Tell me where did you get that pretty little dress
And those shoes that you wear so fine ?
I got my dress from a railroad man
And my shoes from a driver deep in the mine.
Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night ?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shivered the whole night long.
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Blood_In_My_Eyes.txt#@>
Woke up this morning, feeling blue
Seen a good looking girl, can I make love with you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
I went back home, put on my tie
Gonna get that girl that money will buy
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
She looked at me, begin to smile
Said, "Hey, hey, man, can't you wait a little while?"
No, no babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
No, no babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
No, no, ma'am, I can't wait
You got my money, now you're trying to break this date
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
I'll tell you something, tell you the facts
You don't want to give my money back
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Cant_You_Hear_My_Heartbeat.txt#@>
Every time I see you looking my way,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
In the park or walking down the high way,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
And when you move up closer to me
I get a feeling that's oo-wee.
Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat
'Cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love.
When I feel you put your arms around me,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Then I'm glad, I'm mighty glad you found me,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
And when you asked me to meet your ma
I knew that baby we'd be goin' far.
Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat
'Cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love.
All my friends are crying out to meet you,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Now's the time to go and see the preacher,
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Now wedding bells are going to chime
And baby, baby, you're gonna be mine.
Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat
'Cause you're the one I love, you're the one I love.
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Ah!
Ah...
Oh...
Oh...
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Cockleshells.txt#@>
When cockleshells turn silver bells
Then will my love return to me
Then will my love return to me
Then will my love return to me
Love return to me
Love return to me
Love return
Love return
Love return to me.
In pastures green
I shall be seen
With my true love right by my side
With my true love right by my side
With my true love right by my side
Love right by my side
Love right by my side
Love right by
Love right by
Love right by my side.
When I return then you shall learn
That I shall be my true love's bride
That I shall be my true love's bride
That I shall be my true love's bride
Be my true love's bride
Be my true love's bride
Be my true love's
Be my true love's
Be my true love's bride.
When love gets old it grows cold
And then true love will fade away
And then true love will fade away
And then true love will fade away
True love fades away
True love fades away
True love fades
True love fades
True love fades away.
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Come_My_Way_[version_1].txt#@>
The wild mountain thyme that grows around my door
Has grown there for two score years or more
And I've grown weary waiting for love to say
"Come my way, come my way."
The brook that sings and twinkles in the sun
Has danced this mercy dance since time begun
But o how weary and how long the day will he say
"Come my way."
Lovers all around, I wish you joy
Happiness to every girl and boy.
But sometimes spare a thought of me and say
"Love come her way," come my way.
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Easy_In_The_City.txt#@>
Easy in the city,
Easy in the mind.
Easy in the city,

Light is slanting sideways
Sun is getting through.
Gonna take a taxi
Gotta get to you!
Easy in the city,
Easy in the rooms.
Isn't it a pity
Time goes by so soon ...
Time goes by so soon.
If I can find the secret in the green
I'll let you know.
And if you seek a treasure made of silver
You can go ... go
Easy in the city,
Easy in the rooms.
Isn't it a pity
Time goes by so soon ...
Time goes by so soon.
If I can find the secret in the green
I'll let you know.
And if you seek a treasure made of silver
You can go ... go.
Easy in the city,
Easy in the mind.
Easy in the city,
Easy in the mind.

The summer dying
September lives in flames
The sisters dancing
No happy ending to the game
Don't bother to call me
Think I'll stay here just the same
[Chorus]
Flaming September
What can you give me that is true?
Do you remember
Do you remember
Do you remember
All the life I gave to you?
The summer dying
September lives in flames
My youth lies bruised and broken
No happy ending to the game
Don't bother to tell me
I'll live on here just the same

What can you show me that is true?
My heart remembers
Do you remember
Do you remember
All the life I gave
To you?

<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Go_Away_From_My_World.txt#@>
Go away from my world,
Let me dream alone.
And you see it never worked from the start,
All I got for all of my love was a broken heart.
Go away from my world,
And let me dream alone.
I'll dry my eyes and comb my hair,
And I'll pretend you're never there.
Now you're gone the breezes blow so sadly
You never could understand the love I wanted so badly.
Go away from my world,
And let me walk all alone.
All alone in my room,
All alone and so sad.
I can dream of how I wanted us to be
Dreams I have the kind I knew could ever be.
Go away from my world.
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Im_A_Loser.txt#@>
Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed.
He was a boy in a million, my friend,
I should have known he would win in the end.
[Chorus]
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be.
Although I laugh and I act like a clown,
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown.
My tears are falling like rain from the sky,
Is it for him or myself that I cry ?
[Chorus: x2]
What have I done to deserve such a fate ?
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true pride comes before a fall,
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all.
[Chorus]
I'm a loser.
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Im_On_Fire.txt#@>
I'm on fire
When I was young
Just for you
And my heart was pure
Such desire
I only wanted love
Just for you
I had allure
Still on fire
High heels ideals
Just for you
And not much fear
My desire
It's easy
Still for you
To make love appear.
And then something sent me
For what they had meant to do
Whatever happened to you?
I'm on fire
Happiness
Just for you.
No more pain
Such desire
Happiness
Just for you.
And love did come
But in such disguise -
That I could
Hardly recognise!
I'm on fire
So with trust in fate
Just for you.
And love of life
Such desire
Take my chance
Just for you.
Roll the dice.
And whatever sent me
I'll still be here for you.
Whatever happens, it's true.
And I'm standing still
Try to show the way
Try to change the stage.
I only had to find the key
Surely love would come to me
You'd look into my glittering eyes
And everything will be all right.
And so time passed.
I began to change.
I found that I
Could love again.
I'm on fire
At first it feels
Just for you.
A little strange -
Such desire
Happiness
Just for you.
No more pain.
Still on fire
Happiness
Still on fire
No more pain.
Still on fire
Happiness
Still on fire
No more pain.
Still on fire
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Isolation.txt#@>
Don't they know we're so afraid,
Isolation.
We're afraid to be alone
Everbody's got to have a home
Isolation.
Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world,
Isolation.
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down,
Isolation.
I don't expect you to understand
After you caused so much pain
But then again you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insane.
We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun,
Isolation.
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years,

<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Love_And_Money.txt#@>
Is it a crisis ?
Is it a crime ?
Or is it a fantasy ?
Does it take time ?
Will it cost money ?
Will it mean love ?
Sure isn't easy
To get in the mood
Aha
Aha
Aha
Aha.
See you at the parties
You're never the same
Do you make money ?
What is your name ?
Where can I find you ?
Out in the night
Who are your friends ?
Are they dark or light ?
Aha
Aha
Aha
Aha.
Tell me the dreams you never told anyone
Gimme a break.
Are you really a virgin who's never loved anyone else ?
Or just a fake ?
Me I don't know what to think anymore
Don't know where to start
To sit here with you and talk about nothing
Is breaking my heart.
Ask me a question ?
Gimme a smoke
What are you drinking ?
Is it a joke
Well ain't it worth it ?
Or am I depraved ?
You hold your head high
With one foot in the grave.
Aha
Aha.
Aha
Aha.
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Love_Is_Teasin.txt#@>
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
I wish I were a maid again.
But a maid again I can never be
Until apples grow on an ivy tree.
For love it is pleasin' and love is teasin'
And love is a treasure when first it's new.
But as love grows older, then love grows colder
And it fades away like the morning dew.
There is a little house into town
And there my love, he sits him down.
He takes a strange girl on his knee
And he tells her things that he wants to be.
For love and water make younger older
And love and whiskey make her old and grey.
And what cannot be cured, love, must be endured, love,
And now I am bound for America.
La la la la la la ...
La la la la la la ...
As life grows older sure love grows older
And it fades away like the morning dew.
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Mad_About_The_Boy.txt#@>
I met him at a party just a couple of years ago,
He was rather over-hearty and ridiculous
But as I'd seen him on the screen he cast a certain spell.
I'd basked in his attraction
For a couple of hours or so.
His manners were a fraction too meticulous,
If he was real or not, I couldn't tell,
But like a silly fool I fell
Mad about the boy,
I know it's stupid
To be mad about the boy.
I'm so ashamed of it
But must admit
The sleepless nights
I've had about the boy.
On the silver screen
He melts my foolish heart
In every single scene.
Although I'm quite aware
That here and there
Are traces of that cared about the boy.
Lord knows I'm not a fool girl,
I really shouldn't care.
Lord knows I'm not a schoolgirl
In the flurry of her first affair.
Will it ever cloy
This odd diversity of misery and joy
I'm feeling quite insane
And young again
And all because
I'm mad about the boy.
It seems a little silly
For a girl of my age and weight
To walk down piccadilly in a haze of light.
It ought to take her a good deal more
To take a bad girl down.
I should've been exempt for my particular kind of fate
As taught me such contempt for every phase of love
And now I've been and spent my love torn crown
To weep about a painted clown.
Mad about the boy,
It's pretty funny
But I'm mad about the boy.
He has a gay appeal that makes me feel
There's maybe something sad about the boy.
Walking down the street
His eyes look out at me from people that I meet.
I can't believe it's true,
But when I'm blue, in some strange way
I'm glad about the boy.
I'm hardly sentimental,
Love isn't so sublime.
I have to pay my rental
And I can't afford to waste much time.
If I could employ a little magic
That would finally destroy
This dream that pains me and it shames me
But I can't because I'm mad about the boy.
<@#Marianne_Faithfull_Reason_To_Believe.txt#@>
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
[Chorus]
Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never thinking of myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
[Chorus]
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find reason to believe

Move along staying close to the wall
Looking over your shoulder just in time.
Avoid the light, close your eyes
And put your hand in mine.
And put your hand in mine.
Are we in danger, or is it that
You think we might be ?
But I think I'd like to get out of here,
This place it frightens me,
This place it frightens me.
[Chorus]
Running for our lives,
At least we're pretending we are.
Running for our lives,
We never get very far. [Repeat: x3]
Stop pretending
This is a child's adventure,
The only way I can take it
Is playing the game.
Be quiet, there's a gate ahead.
Do you think we can make it ?
Will it be different, or just the same ?
How long can we keep escaping [Repeat: x3]
Into another prison ?
[Chorus]
Move along staying close to the wall,
Looking over your shoulder just in time.
Avoid the light, close your eyes
And put your hand in mine
And put your hand in mine.

We never get very far. [Repeat: x3]

You saw the wise man salomon,
You know what 'came of him.
To him the world seemed clear as day,
He cursed the sad hour that he saw the sign,
He knew that everything was dust.
How great and wise was salomon!
Watch out the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay
Such wisdom's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise such clarity.
You saw divine cleopatra,
You know what 'came of her.
Two emperors died to serve her lust,
She whored herself to death, yes she did,
And withered into lovely dust.
How beautiful great babylon.
Watch out, the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay,
Such beauty's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise such luxury.
Behold the man, the bold macheath,
The end's in sight, I fear.
If he had kept his pretty head
And just robbed the rich, but oh no, instead
All's come to nought and turned to dust.
How sad the heart when it has won.
Watch out the world is spinning fast,
The night will fall, the price we'll pay.
Such whoring's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise sweet chastity.

Have you been to Scarborough fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one that lives there
For once she once was a true lover of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
One with no seams, of fine needlework
And then she'll be a true lover of mine.
Tell her to dry it 'pon yonder thorn
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
That never bore fruit since Adam was born
And then she'll be a true lover of mine.
Ah, can you find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Between the salt sea and the sea sand
Or never be a true lover of mine.
And can you plough it with a sheep's horn
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
And sow it all over with one peppercorn
Or never be a true lover of mine.
And when you have done and finished your work
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Then come to me for your cambric shirt
And then you'll be a true lover of mine.

Going home in a trailer filled with canada dry,
Looking forward to being with you.
Got in to the broadway and what do I find ?
Some lady's been sleeping there, too.
I was dreamin' of our meetin' all down the m1
'cause I hadn't seen you for so long.
Then out of the blue, something came down and warned me
And I sat there and wrote down this song.
That was the day that the coke came to nashville,
That was the day I laughed till I cried.
That was the day all my dreams turned to ashes
And I lost my blues and I smiled.
Well, I walked in the door and I heard you two laughing,
Just like I'd hoped that we'd do.
So I went up the stairs, left your keys on the table,
And I wrote on the mirror, 'we're through!'.
That was the day that the coke came to nashville,
That was the day that I had, honey.
That was the day that the coke came to nashville,
And I've got the blues out just bad.
Going home on a train, going back to my mother,
Feeling better already, keep telling myself:
'don't you cry, you'll forget him and find a new lover,
So let's sit back and drink to his health.'
That was the day that the coke came to nashville,
That was the day I laughed till I cried.
That was the day that I felt my heart breaking,
Ain't it funny, after all I've survived.
Ain't it funny, after all I've survived.
<@#Marillion_Alone_Again_In_The_Lap_Of_Luxury.txt#@>
See those people there? They look after me
This is a photograph of who I might be
Man in a uniform, bride on his arm
Mum always was a fool for money and charm
He's been talkin' in his sleep again
Sayin' he's sorry, callin' my name
Sayin' how he's so ashamed
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Since it happened I had nothin' to say
It used to bother them but now it's okay
Mother cleans his dreadful house every day
Scrubbing at the stains that won't go away
They sent me away to the school in the park
They said it would be good for me
I still hear the other kids cry in the dark
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Is there no escape from the lap of luxury
I don't remember the last time I cried
I don't remember much except lies
See the little girl spirallin' down
This is a photograph of who she is now
"One day this will all be yours" he said
Tidy your room and straight to bed
Tidy up those thoughts in your head
Alone again in the lap of luxury
I could be anywhere right now
If I only had the nerve to leave this house
Maybe somewhere by the sea
Take me somewhere, anywhere please!
We could make a pillow of sand and sleep
We could roll
We could make
We could see
We could scream
Far, Father, Farthest
Oh daddy, you do not do anymore
For God's sake don't pretend to be concerned
Turn into nightmares in the end
Throw a party for all my friends
I. Now Wash your Hands
You give up hope
You settle down
With your favourite soap
Now wash your hands
<@#Marillion_Bike_(excerpt).txt#@>
I've got a bike, you can ride if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it
You're the kind of girl
That fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything
If you want a thing
I've got a cloak, it's a bit of a joke
There's a tear up the front, it's red and black
I've had it for months
If you think it could look good
Then I guess it should
I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house
I don't know why I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse
I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish
I know a room of musical tunes
Some wine, some gin, most of them are clock work
Let's go into the other room and make them work

Bound up in this energy ball again
Laughing and bouncin' off the magic
Rollin' under like a surfboard in a wave
Washin' me up ...I want to do it again
Entwined in her arms
Spinning around and submarine beneath the deep of her
Climbing the forks of the lightning
Building a rod for my back it's all right, it's all right
Dreamin' a dream that only the sleepless know
Chilling the afternoon in "Viva Vida"
Watchin' the sun slide down the avenue
So real...
I feel...
Dizzy to fever with this love
The blues and the greys are waved away inside a day with her
Riding the forks of the lightning
Feeling the sparks along my back it's all right, it's all right
I thought I was born to take and to damage
But I'm giving and healing and feeling
Ultramarine and ultra-serene

<@#Marillion_How_Will_You_Go.txt#@>
Escape is on your mind again
Escape to a far away land
Sometimes it sems there is no end
To long hard nights of drinking
How will you go
How will you go
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in
Fell over on the couch again
But you know not all sleep is wasted
Your dreams are alcohol inspired
I can't find a better way to face it
How will you go
How will you go
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in
And you know I'll be fine
Just don't ask me how it's going
Give me time, give me time
'Cause I want you to see
That the world, that the world
Is a tangled up necklace of pearls
How will you go
How will you go
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in
<@#Marillion_I_Saw_Three_Ships.txt#@>
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day.
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning.
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning?
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day.
The virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day in the morning
<@#Marillion_Living_With_The_Big_Lie.txt#@>
It all began with the bright light
The bright light and the noise
The chaos of the senses and the scream of desire
Touching and being touched
A million loose ends to tie up
Ticking of the clock and the cradle rock
The colours stand still
And then they move around
Comin' in and out of focus upside down
Empty winter trees
How space feels
Love of the soft ... the flowers and the sky
One fine day
The chaos subsides
Bleeds into awareness
And a lifetime of surprise
The beauty of your mothers eyes
The pain when you fall
You drink it in and marvel at it all
But you never really figure it out
You get used to it
The babble of the family
And the dumb TV
Roar of the traffic and the thunder of jets
Chemicals in the water
Drugs in the food
The heat of the kitchen and the beat of the system
The attitude of authority
The laws and the rules
Hit me square in the face, first morning at school
The heroes and the zeroes
The first love of my life
When to kiss and to kick and to keep your head down
When they're choosing the sides
I was never any good at it
I was terrified most of the time
I never got over it
I got used to it
Alone in the city at seventeen
With the hollow and the lonely
The drowning and the drowned
I was made to feel worthless
The wretched and the mean
Beat me up like a weapon I can't run away from or find a way round
Holdin' on, holdin' on
The greed and the missiles
Exploding somewhere every day
Hideous dark secrets under the sea and in holes in the ground
The cold war's gone
But those bastards'll find us another one
They're here to protect you, don't you know?
So get used to it
Get used to it!
The clash of religions
And the loaded prayers
Information
The face of starvation and the state of the nation
The sense that it's useless
And the fear to try
Not believing the leaders, the media that feed us
Living with the big lie
You get used to it
Get used to it!
It's okay, I got used to it
<@#Marillion_Mirages_(demo).txt#@>
(Hogarthkellymosleyrotherytrewavas)
Absence makes the heart go mad
All the solid things become mirages
The certain things
Sand running in the hour glass
Running away
I scream along the ledge
As the windows back and close
I run around try to prove the sunrise
I believe in belief
But it's proof I need
Can you show me it's me
Can you show me it's me
Travelling makes the mind go vague
All the special faces fade away
Spinning like a heat haze
Shimmering
Please send Polaroids
Or an ear in the post
A map to the treasure
A key to the closed
I need you like hell
Can you help me again
Can you show me it's me
Can you show me it's me
I run dry
I run out
I run cold
I need help
Trying to prove the sunrise
Trying to prove the tides
Trying to prove the blue moon sky
And is it you?
Is it you?
<@#Marillion_Ocean_Cloud.txt#@>
He's seen too much of life
And there's no going back
The loneliness calls him
And the edge which must be sharpened
He's losing it. And he knows.
But there's a fighter in his mind and his body's tough
The years have been unkind but kind enough
The smell of the earth
It's his favourite smell
But he's somehow compelled to the stinging salt hell
To the place where he hurts and he's scared
And there's no one to tell
And no one who doesn't listen
"You can take all the boys and the girls in the world
And I'll trade them this morning for my sweet Ocean Cloud
I've seen too much of life
So the sea is my wife and a sweet Ocean Cloud is a mistress I'm allowed
For now."
"You can take all the boys and the girls in the world
I wouldn't trade them this morning for my sweet Ocean Cloud
I've seen too much of life
So the sea is my wife and a sweet ocean cloud is a mistress I'm allowed
For now."
"Only me and the sea
We will do as we please."
He remembers the day he was marched to the front
By the physical knuckle head teacher of games
"Look lads" he declared, "This boy's a cream puff
No guts and no muscles
No spine and no stuffing"
The whole schoolroom sniggered
And silently thanked God it wasn't them..
But time is revenge. All the bullies grow weak
And must live with faithless women who despise them
I'll be in Barbados in a couple of weeks
With a rum on the table and yarns by the yard
A story to tell and a story to save
..unless she changes her mind
I'll trade them this morning for my sweet Ocean Cloud
I've seen to much of life so the sea is my wife
And the sweet ocean clouds will look down on my boat tonight
The wind changed
I felt it run beneath my ear
Like silk drawn across my neck
A dream of your legs
Defying gravity in love
The medium wave
Brought signals here from far away
Your tender voice riding on the sea spray
Something in the air
For those who know the signs
Something in the air
A storm..
When I was alive
When I was alive
Don't wanna remember
When I was alive
Watch me watch me
Paint this picture
Stretchin Hurtin Cursin
Watch me
Takin it Takin it Takin it Takin it....
Watch me. Watch me. God above..
Between two planets
In between the points of light
Between two distant shorelines
Here am I
Between two planets
In the black daylight of space
Between two heavenly bodies
The invisible man.
Ripping out the radio
I want to be alone
"You can take all the boys and the girls in the world
I wouldn't trade them this morning for my sweet Ocean Cloud
I've seen too much of life
So the sea is my wife and a sweet Ocean Cloud is a mistress I'm allowed
I've seen too much of life
So the sea is my wife
And the sweet ocean clouds will look down on my bones tonight..

Reality is something that you rise above
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run
The fearful fall foul of fate as often as the reckless
You don't need money to be rich anyhow
Spending yourself is what it's all about
No tears
No lies
No pain
No doubt
No darkness
No confusion
No loneliness, despair
No more, no more
It's all illusion
If you have made mistakes
There's always another chance for you
You can start over again at any moment
Any little time you choose
Talk about failure
To fall is not to fail
Failure isn't about falling down
Failure is staying down
Energy makes energy anyhow
Spend yourself and get rich right now
No tears
No lies
No pain
No doubt
No darkness
No confusion
No loneliness, despair
No way, no how
It's all illusion
Reality is something that you rise above
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are
There's always another chance for you
You can start over again
Start over again
Over again
Any little time you choose
Get rich right now

Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the winter trip
Heading for the slide
Heading for the dignified walk away
Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that
Heading for the automatic overload
Standing in the open boat
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light
Waiting to be recognised
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you
You're holding on, you're holding on ...
I. The Last of You
Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you
You come here scratchin' at my door
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk
So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one
Why did you hurt the very one
That you should have protected?
II. Falling from the Moon
Don't ask me why I'm doing this
You wouldn't understand
You're asking the wrong questions
You couldn't understand
A bridge is not a high place
The fifty-second floor
Icarus would know
A mountain isn't far to fall
When you've fallen
When you've fallen from the moon
There's murder on the street
I'm ashes on the water now, somewhere far away
I have fallen, fallen from the moon
<@#Marillion_The_Space_._._..txt#@>
On top of the world like a flag on a mountain
Feeling so high you can feel so alone
Unable to breathe at the height that you flew
Staring on clouds with no view of below
On top of a girl like a dream in a hotel
Falling towards something out of control
Unable to miss like the man in the tram
Crashing your car in Amsterdam
He did it without knowing, didn't feel a thing
He just wrecked it and kept going
The space around the stars
Is something that you know
A billion miles of darkness
Left your feeling low
The space around the stars
Is something that you know
Everything about you
So perfectly restrained
But everything inside you
Bites you
Everybody in the whole of the world
Feels the same inside
Everybody in the whole of the world
Everyone is only everyone else
Everybody's got to know
Everybody lives and loves and laughs and cries
And eats and sleeps and grows and dies
Everybody in the whole of the world
Is the same this time
Is the same inside
In the whole of the world
<@#Marillion_The_Web.txt#@>
The rain auditions at my window
Its symphony echoes in my womb
My gaze scans the walls of this apartment
To rectify the confines of my tomb
I'm the cyclops in the tenement
I'm the soul without the cause
Crying midst my rubber plants, ignoring beckoning doors
Clippings from ancient newspapers lie scattered cross the floor
Stained by the wine from a shattered glass
Meaningless words
Yellowed by time
Faded photos exposing pain
Celluloid leeches bleeding my mind
Christ, you've finished playing hangman
You've cast the fateful dice
Advice, advice, advice me, this shroud will not suffice
And thus begins the web
Attempting to discard these clinging memories
I only serve to wallow in our past
I fabricate the weave with my excuses
Its strands I hope and pray shall last
Oh please do last
Oh please do last
The fly trap needs the insects
Ivy caresses the wall
Needles make love to the junkies
The sirens seduce with their call
Confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me
Confused and rejected, despised and alone, I kiss isolation on it's fevered
brow
Security clutching me
Obscurity threatening me
Christ, your reasons were so obvious as my friends have qualified
I only laughed away your tears, but even jesters cry
But even jesters cry
I realize I hold the key to freedom
Oh I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
The time has come to make decisions
The changes have to be made
I realize I hold the key to freedom
I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
The time has come to make decisions
The changes have to be made
Now I leave you
The past does have it's say
You're all but forgotten
A mote in my heart
Decisions have been made
They've been made
Decisions have been made
I've conquered my fears, all my fears
The flaming shroud, the flaming shroud
Thus ends the web, the web, the web, the web, the web
<@#Marillion_These_Chains.txt#@>
Everything crashed
His wife left him
He lost all his money
And most of his friends
He lay awake all night
Lonely and desperate
Contemplating starting again
These chains are all your own
These chains are comfortable
Four in the morning
Sat in the kitchen
Keys on the table
Went out for a drive
He didn't know
Where he was going
Didn't know
If he was alive
The dawn was breaking
A new day was rising
Shadows creepin' over the fields
He watched the pink light
Steal across the horizon
He realized
He saw with new eyes
These chains are all your own
These chains are comfortable
This cage was never locked
Born free but scared to be
This cage was made for you
With care and constant attention
This cage is safe and warm
Will you die and never know what it's like
Outside
<@#Marillion_Tic-Tac-Toe.txt#@>
We are led by the light at the end of the tunnel
We are guided by the fires of our burning dreams
We're inspired by our ideals and driven by conscience
To cross what the cynics perceive as naive
We the people want it straight for a change
We the people are getting tired of your games
We the people want the answers laid out on the lines
No more of your cheap propaganda
And stop talking tic-tac-toe
We the people fight your arms dealers wars
We the people want our futures secure
We the people want a peace staying all the way
So cut out your message
And take all your talking tic-tac-toe
Everyone needs a symbol
If you don't know of the reason
Well how can you take a stand
You need to return to an open
Take a lesson from me
Take a lesson from me
That children play tic-tac-toe
<@#Marillion_You_Dont_Need_Anyone.txt#@>
I saw you there last night
In the latest place
You were taking in the scenery
Hungry for a new face
Seems what I said to you
Didn't change your mind
You could open your eyes, realise
You don't need anyone
Who's always on the phone
You don't need anyone
Who won't leave you alone
You don't need anyone
Who'd want you to cut him a key
You don't need anyone
Out on the streets today
In the clothes you bought
And your glossy picture pages
Full of other people's thoughts
Will you just wander along
Live your life this way
'Till some magazine shows you what to do
You don't need anyone
Who's always on the phone
You don't need anyone
Who won't leave you alone
To fill up the holes in your life
To tell you what you're needing
And make you do what you don't like
You don't need anyone
To show you where to go
And turn you into somebody
You wouldn't even want to know
You don't need anyone
As far as I can see
You don't need anyone
But Me

You ride but cannot be ridden

Love. Blood. War.
Desire. Deceit. Control.
It's killing you for everyone.
Just stick around until I'm gone.
I love you so it hurts.
For whatever that is worth.
And no time will fade away,
The rumors and the lies.
And no one will remember,
If you even said goodbye.
What's the point in dying,
When the world thinks you're already dead?
What's the point in crying,
With the rain beating down on your head?
Greed. Hate. Lust.
Divide. Disgust. Distrust.
Happiness comes in a pill,
From a fifteen-story windowsill.
You'll love me till I die,
Or at least until I try.
The after words don't mean a thing,
The problems still persist.
Don't think about the stories,
And the bullshit that you missed.
What's the point in dying,
When the world thinks you're already dead?
What's the point in crying,
With the rain beating down on your head?
What's the point in lying,
If no one believes what you say?
What's the point in dying,
If you're already dead anyway?
If you're already dead anyway.
If you're already dead anyway.
I hope you will remember me.
At least say so, to comfort me.
You say goodbye so easily.
It's now or never.
It may seem really pitiful.
But life became too beautiful.
The pain of love unbearable.
It's now or never.
Gone forever.
<@#Marilyn_Manson_Tourniquet.txt#@>
She's made of hair and bone and little teeth
And things that cannot speak
She comes on like a crippled plaything
Her spine is just a string
I wrapped our love in all this foil
Silver tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil
But flies will always lay their eggs
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my head
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
Prosthetic synthesis and butterfly
Sealed up with virgin stitch
If it hurts baby please tell me
Preserve the innocence
I never wanted it to end like this
But flies will lay their eggs
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my head
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
What I wanted, what I needed
What I got for me
What I wanted, what I needed
What I got for me
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my head
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
Take your, take your
Get up out of me
I'm not proud with me
I never ever believed in me
<@#Marilyn_Manson_Track_99.txt#@>
Go aheah and build a better messiah, we can dig another grave
This is your calling.
If you are hearing this, there is nothing I can do
Something has grown in my chest.
And I have seen it.
It is hard and cold.
It's been dormant for many years.
I have tried to save you, but I cannot come to save you
But this is what you deserve
This is whta we deserve
This is something that we have brought upon ourselves
We are not a victim, you are not a victim
We are not a victim, you are not a victim
God will grovel before me.
God will crawl at my feet.
These are the dying years.
These are the dying years.
When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you.

Where do we go, nobody knows
I've got to say I'm on my way down
God give me style and give me grace
God put a smile upon my face
Where do we go to draw the line
I've got to say I wasted all your time
Oh honey honey
Where do I go to fall from grace
God put a smile upon your face yeah
And ah, when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah, when you work it out I wanted to
And ah, when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine
Where do we go, nobody knows
Don't ever say you're on your way down when
God gave you style and gave you grace,
And put a smile upon your face oh yeah
And ah, when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah, when you work it out I want it to
And ah, when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine.
It's as good as mine, It's as good as mine

<@#Maroon_5_Back_At_Your_Door.txt#@>
From the moment the lights went off
Everything had changed
Lie awake in an empty room
In my head it all feels the same
Like the taste of the day you left
It still lingers on my breath
And the dampness of tears that left
The stain where you had wept
All alone with the negligee
That still hangs off of my bed
I keep meaning to give it away
But I just leave it there instead
[Chorus]
No need to cry about it
I cannot live without it
Every time I wind up back at your door
Why do you do this to me?
You penetrate right through me
Every time I wind up back at your door
Three more days till I see your face
I'm afraid it's far too much
Cook a meal and fix up the place
Dial your number, hang it up
If I took you for granted
I apologize for acting tough
You're my reason for living
And there's no way I'm giving up, oh
[Chorus]
Now, every evening is a bitter fight
And I'm eating home alone on a Friday night
And I know what your friends say
"He's just wasting your love and time."
I will never let you change your mind
[Chorus x 2]
Every time I wind up back at your door
Every time I wind up back at your door
<@#Maroon_5_Come_Talk_With_Me.txt#@>
Come talk with me
Take off your coat
Sit down for awhile
Stick around for awhile
It's been a long year
My luck is down think
I'll skip town for awhile
To search for my smile
You look so nice
You shine just like an angel
But I'm sure that you must get that all the time
Have you heard that new song on the radio
It reminds me of us
But I forget how it goes
Its been a long week
And my mind is tired
I think I'll sit down for a while
Settle down for a while
You look so nice
You shine just like the morning
And at 9PM you glow just like the night
As all these weeks roll by I wonder why
You won't talk with me why
Why does it make me crazy when I know
You're coming down down down
You're coming down down down down down
You won't see me
You won't leave me
Leave me where I am I am
You won't see me
You won't leave me
Leave me where I am
As all these weeks roll by I wonder why
You won't talk with me why
Why does it make me crazy when I know
You're coming down down down
You're coming down down down down down
As all these weeks roll by I wonder why
You won't talk with me why
Why does it make me crazy when I know
You're coming down down down
You're coming down down down down down
Come talk with me

Here I am waiting, I'll have to leave soon
Why am I, still holding on?
We knew this day would come, we knew it all along
How did it come so fast?
This is our last night but it's late
And I'm trying not to sleep
'Cause I know, when I wake
I will have to slip away
And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
Here I am staring at your perfection
In my arms, so beautiful
The sky is getting bright, the stars are burning out
Somebody slow it down
This is way too hard
'Cause I know, when the sun comes up
I will leave, this is my last glance
That will soon be memory
And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
I never wanted to stop
Because I don't wanna start all over, start all over
I was afraid of the dark
But now it's all that I want, all that I want, all that I want
And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close
And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
And loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, no

And the more I drink the more I think about you
Oh no, no, I can't take it
Baby every place I go reminds me of you
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine]
Do you think of me? Of what we used to be?
Is it better now that I'm not around?
My friends are actin' strange, they don't bring up your name
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

And every time I go out, yeah
I hear it from this one, I hear it from that one
That you got someone new
Yeah, I see but don't believe it
Even in my head you're still in my bed
Maybe I'm just a fool
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine]
Do you think of me? Of what we used to be?
Is it better now that I'm not around?
My friends are actin' strange, they don't bring up your name

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
(Oh hey)
No more "please stop"
No more hashtag boo'd up screenshots
No more tryin' make me jealous on your birthday
You know just how I made you better on your birthday, oh
Do he do you like this, do he woo you like this?
Do he lay it down for you, touch your poona like this?
Matter fact, never mind, we'll let the past be
May be his right now, but your body's still me, woah
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home

I won't let anyone hurt you
And I'll stop them if they try to
Nobody knows you like I do, ba-by
And I don't care where you run to
Because I'm gonna find you
When the stars all align
We can try again
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody see?
Seems like everything's gone crazy
You're exactly what I wanted
And exactly what I need
Don't need anybody but my ba-by
So where did all your love go
You play me like a solo
Then you threw my broken heart away, yeah
I know that we can make it
And I know that you can feel me
So stop fooling around and just stay
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody see?
Seems like everything's gone crazy
You're exactly what I wanted
Exactly what I need
I don't need anybody but my ba-by
It's taken such a long time
To find what I've been looking for
And now that you are all mine
I never felt quite like this before
Still want more
All you need in my mind
Because if so, then you already know
You're all that I want and you're all that I needed
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody see?
Seems like everything's gone crazy
You're exactly what I wanted
And exactly what I need
Don't need anybody but my baby
<@#Maroon_5_Little_Of_Your_Time.txt#@>
I'm sick of picking the pieces
And second-guessing
My reasons why you don't trust me
Why must we do this to one another?
We are just passionate lovers
With trouble under the covers
Nothing worse than when
You know that it's over
[Chorus]
I just need a little of your time
A little of your time
To say the words I never said
Just need a little of your time
A little of your time
To show you that I am not dead
Please don't leave, stay in bed
Touch my body instead
Gonna make you feel it
Can you still feel it?
Gonna make you feel it
Can you still feel it?
Well, I've got nothing to hide
Dip down and come for a ride
I'm a racy devil, so sly
You cannot hear him coming
'Cause my defenses are weak
I have no breath left to speak
So take the evidence
And bury it somewhere
[Chorus]
Please don't leave, stay in bed
Touch my body instead
Gonna make you feel it
Can you still feel it?
Gonna make you feel it
Can you still feel it?
Oh my, I don't mind being the other guy
Nice try, for these games I do not have the time
If you want me, call me
Come and take a risk kiss
Leave somewhere deep under the surface
[Chorus]
Please don't leave, stay in bed
Touch my body instead
Gonna make you feel it
Can you still feel it?
Gonna make you feel it
Can you still feel it?
Gonna make you feel it
Can you still feel it?
Gonna make you feel it
Can you still feel it?
<@#Maroon_5_Losing_My_Mind.txt#@>
It's so hard to find you
I'm standing right behind you
The streets are much colder
This mean I'm getting older
Why would you? How could I?
These questions lead to goodbye
But now I got my freedom
Don't I?
[Chorus]
I parked my car outside your house
Hope that someday you'll come home
Seems the woman that I love
Is someone that I hardly know
And after all this time
I've finally found a way to be alone
I'm terrified, I think that I may be losing my mind
Shy girl, so humble
With eyes that make me stumble
Somehow not speaking lets me know everything
I go out, you eat in
Hide from the situation
You're naked in daylight
Wrap yourself up and goodnight
I'm burning, I'm hungry
Angry 'cause she don't love me
You've got me completely
In my own game, you beat me
[Chorus]
I will be back again
No this is not the end
I've fallen hard this time but I not giving in
I want the world to know that I won't let you forget
The tears that you shed
I'll make it impossible to let go
[Chorus: x2]

And it's a hard pill for you to swallow, yeah
But if I fall for you, I'll never recover

Watch the sunrise
Say your goodbyes
Off we go
Some conversation
No contemplation
Hit the road
Car overheats
Jump out of my seat
On the side of the highway, baby
Our road is long
Your hold is strong
Please don't ever let it go, oh no
I know I don't know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
Oh, can they keep it
Oh, no they can't
Driving fast now
Don't think I know how to go slow
Where you at now
I feel around
There you are
Cool these engines
Calm these jets
I ask you, how hot can it get?
As you wipe off beads of sweat
Slowly, you say, I'm not there yet
I know I don't know you
But I want you so bad

After school
Walking home
Fresh dirt under my fingernails
And I can smell hot asphalt
Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
And I cannot remember
What life was like through photographs
Trying to recreate images life gives us from our past
And sometimes it's a sad song
[Chorus]
But I cannot forget
Refuse to regret
So glad I met you and
Take my breath away
Make everyday
Worth all of the pain that I have gone through
And Mama I've been cryin'
Cause things ain't how they used to be
She said, "The battle's almost won
And we're only several miles from the sun."
Moving on down my street
I see people I won't ever meet
Think of her, take a breath
Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps
And sometimes it's a sad song
[Chorus]
The rhythm of her conversation
The perfection of her creation
The sex she slipped into my coffee
The way she felt when she first saw me
Hate to love and love to hate her
Like a broken record player
Back and forth and here and gone
And on and on and on and on
[Chorus]
<@#Mary_Black_Across_The_Universe.txt#@>
Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of love are ringing
Through my open ears [views] inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe

Long long before I put a face on love
The one thing I knew was that
Like anything love can surprise you
One kiss and you brought me a lifetime
Do you know what that means to me
You give me the answer to whether I bleed
Deep in the darkest night oh, I wake you
To tell you I know that life is so beautiful with you
And time will tell
What hurt and what I felt
This open road
Is long and beautiful
For every minute you need me I want to need you
In every fear life is brand new
Deep in the darkest night oh, I wake you
And tell you I know that life is so beautiful with you
And time will tell
What hurt and what I felt
This open road

And time will tell
What hurt and what I felt

Remember when we walked on hills of heather
Singing weaving mystical rings
Now in a while my precious child
You wil unfurl your wings
And I'll have lost what I believed
Had promised everything
But before you go my friend, my kind companion
Listen to this song I sing
Then go in peace and grow in grace and goodness
Know that you have nothing to fear
And dry your eyes my little one
And let there be no tears
Send me a dream from away beyond
I promise I shall hear
Oh beautifull beloved soul companion
Thank you for those beautifull years
And heaven hold and watch your way forever
May your every dream com true
Forgive all wrong, always be strong
And do what you must do
You stand before this open door
And you must now go through

Bless the road that carries you

Change of heart, the world will start today
It's like a new beginning
See it shining like a brand new star
Well, if you're thinking that you'll end up crying
Maybe all you need is to get away from friends
And the walls around you
Find a shore, step into the sun

I will give you wings so you can fly
To lands where you're dreams surround you
Find a shore and step into the sun

From the corner of my eye I see a tear rolling down
At the time I couldn't tell whose tear it was
If it was mine I should be glad
That I still function in this cage
But if it's yours it only makes me more lost
To see a tear rolling down
To see a tear rolling down
This is the last call for ellis island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye, babe
Goodbye, babe.
I hear sweethearts whisper their undying love
Above the noise on the quay their voices rise
They must have something so strong in the face of such change
That they can promise and promise all night
Oh, their undying love, hear their undying love
This is the last call for ellis island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye, babe
Goodbye, babe.
Oh, what you wouldn't give to be down on the pier once again
Far away from the cries of this war-weary horde
Time up there in the clouds must be hard to endure
When your heart's unsure
It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave
I feel I'm sentenced to a death without appeal
I can pretend it's all a dream
And what I'm seeing will disappear
But the end I can see is all too real
Knowing you're taking leave
Knowing you're taking leave
This is the last call for ellis island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye, babe
Goodbye, babe
<@#Mary_Black_Farewell_Farewell.txt#@>
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travelers all
The cold north winds will blow again
The winding road does call.
And will you never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons
Oh I would, I would if welcome I were
For they loathe me every one.
And will you never cut the cloth
Nor drink the light to be
And can you never swear a year
To anyone but he.
No I will never cut the cloth
Nor drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to he who lies
Asleep alongside of me.
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travelers all
The cold north winds will blow again
The winding road does call.
<@#Mary_Black_Going_Gone.txt#@>
There is a lighthouse in the harbor
Giving guidance with its light
But I had no one to return to
As I wander through life
From the first time that I saw you
Standing silent by the shore
I knew my search was over
And I would look for love no more
Deep in the waters of love I am falling, sinking like a stone
Deep in my heart I can hear love calling
Going once, going twice, going gone
Going once, going twice, going gone
There is a ship on the horizon
Making its way against the wind
And from the place where I stand watching
I swear my ship is coming in
Deep in the waters of love I am falling, sinking like a stone
Deep in my heart I can hear love calling
Going once, going twice, going gone
Going once, going twice, going gone
Deep in the waters of love I am falling, sinking like a stone
Deep in my heart I can hear love calling
Going once, going twice, going gone
Going once, going twice, going gone
<@#Mary_Black_Home.txt#@>
Traveling at night, the headlights were bright
And we'd been up many an hour
And all through my brain
Came the refrain
Of home and it's warming fire
[Chorus]
And Home
Sings me of sweet things
My life there has it's own wings
To fly over the mountains
Though I'm standing still
The people I've seen
They come in between
The cities of tiring life
The trains come and go,
But inside you know
The struggle will soon be a fight
[Chorus]
Traveling at night,
The headlights were bright.
But soon the sun came through the trees
Around the next bend
The flowers will send
The sweet scene of home in the breeze
[Chorus]
<@#Mary_Black_In_A_Dream.txt#@>
Something about this is precious, something about this is sad
Something about this is better, than I've ever had
Hard and lean, you know what I mean?
How do the roots become tangled? why does the spirit grow tired?
Where is the key to your kingdom? yes that's my desire.
Chorus:
There are those who live to count the cost
And then those who count themselves content
I see heaven wrapped up in a box
It is you come back to love again, in a dream, this living dream.
Up in a heap I'm not bothered, down in the dumps I'm okay
Here in my heart you're the best road, that I'll ever take, I'm serene yeh.
Chorus:
There are those who live to take the chance
And then more who find themselves content
I see heaven mapped out in advance
It is you and that's my journeys end, in a dream, this living dream.
I'm trying to hang on to the essence, I'm feeling more faint by the day
It took such a long time to get it, I don't want to see it erased
Chorus:
There are those who live to count the cost
And then more who count themselves content
I see heaven wrapped up in a box
It is you come back to love again, in a dream, this living dream
This living dream.
<@#Mary_Black_Lay_Down_Your_Burden.txt#@>
It's a cold, old world that we're walking through
They ought to tell you at the start
But it's warm as toast walking two by two
Lay down the burden of your heart
[Chorus]
Lay down the burden of your heart
I know you'll never miss it
Just show me, angel, where it hurts
And let your mammy kiss it
It's a fine, fine line between love and hate
It's hard to tell the two apart
But what strength I have, I offer you
Lay down the burden of your heart
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Mary_Black_Marguerite_And_The_Gambler.txt#@>
See the man in the picture with the falcon on his glove
A famous gambler, they say he never knew defeat
Lucky at cards, oh he was lucky in love
He gave his heart to the lovely Marguerite
See the woman beside him whispering in his ear
She was a famous beauty with men falling at her feet
Her father was the richest man in the town of Belvedere
Where the Gambler met the lovely Marguerite
The day when the handsome gambling man
Came through that town
They met by chance at the corner of the street
The scene was set for the tragedy
It was love at first sight
For the Gambler and the lovely Marguerite
Their passion was a fire that could not be contained
And when they made love oh how their hearts did beat
And from that moment the whole world would be forever changed
For the Gambler and the lovely Marguerite
When her father heard the news he was like a man possessed
In a cold fit of fury, hatred and despair
No good for nothin' gambler was goin' to steal his daughter's heart
He hired three men to put an end to the affair!
The Gambler had a room upstairs in a cheap hotel
The men lay in wait in an alley off the street
As the lovers strolled by three shots rang out and the Gambler fell
He died in the arms of the lovely Marguerite
When they brought her home she just could not be consoled
Her mother sent out for a doctor and a priest
But it was too late to save her body or her soul
She'd gone to meet the Gambler
Who was waiting for his lovely Marguerite
See the man in the picture with the falcon on his glove
And the woman beside him, Queen of Hearts at her feet
They looked so happy they must have been so much in love
The famous Gambler and the lovely Marguerite
They still talk about them in the town of Belvedere
The old people can remember hearing gunfire in the street
And now when the moon is full two lovers sometimes appear
They say it's the ghost of The Gambler and the lovely Marguerite
They say it's the ghost of The Gambler and the lovely Marguerite
<@#Mary_Black_Poison_Tree.txt#@>
I was angry with my friend
I told him so and my wrath did end
I was angry with my foe
Told him not and my wrath did grow
And I watered it in fears
Night and morning with my tears
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles
And it grew both day and night
Till it bore an apple bright
And my foe beheld it shine
And he knew that it was mine
Was a poison tree
Beware of a Poison Tree
Poison Tree
Growing inside of me
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched
Beneath that tree
Was a Poison Tree
Beware of a Poison Tree
Poison Tree
Growing inside of me
Poison Tree
Beware of a Poison Tree

What happened to you
And me
<@#Mary_Black_Trespass_Shoes.txt#@>
When I see you coming
In your trespass shoes
Hear the song you're humming
How can i refuse
With your half drunk bottle
And your slurring tongue
Singing sentimental
Don't it always make me feel so young
Been alone
We've been together
Stood at toe to toe
Getting older doesn't matter when lights down low
When the push comes down to shoving
When the four winds blow
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do
Now my heels are snagging
On these pavement stones
Days and nights are dragging
'Til I get you home
With your four o'clock shadow
and your cowboy songs
Singing sentimental
Don't it always make me feel so strong
Been alone
We've been together
Stood at toe to toe
Getting older doesn't matter when lights down low
Push comes to shove and worse for better
when the four winds blow
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do
With your forehead furrowed
And your facts all wrong
Oh so temperamental
Oh but baby when it's said and done
Been alone
We've been together
Stood at toe to toe
Getting older doesn't matter when lights down low
Push comes to shove and worse for better
Only goes to show when the four winds blow
Been alone
We've been together
Stood at toe to toe
Getting older doesn't matter when lights down low
Push comes to shove and worse for better
Only goes to show
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do
<@#Mary_Black_Turning_Away.txt#@>
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
On water we have walked like the fearless child
What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild
And in search for confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire
Chorus
There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past
Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast
And there's those that try to tame it
And the carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they're thrown
Chorus
On Racherie they have worked with their island dreams
By Lough Cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams
And in searching for acceptance
They have given it away
Only the children of our children
Know the price they had to pay
Chorus
<@#Mary_Black_What_Does_It_Matter.txt#@>
What does it matter if the sun don't rise
It's midnight forever in my Jimmy's eyes
What should it matter if it comes on to spring
When I'm finding winter in everything
Lived in this cold wind city all of my life
Walking around still looks the same
Same people coming and going
It doesn't feel right - See it all now - From so far away
All of the wisdom that I held so high
Shining and useless as this April sky
The hedgerows are singing and it comes on spring
But I'm finding winter in everything
Lived in this cold wind city all of my life
Walking around still looks the same
Same people coming and going
It doesn't feel right - See it all now - From so far away
So what should it matter if the earth may slide
Sky break in pieces or the stars collide
The little of sense left in this world or ours
My Jimmy took with him in the wee small hours
Lived in this cold wind city all of my life
Walking around still looks the same
Same people coming and going
It doesn't feel right - See it all now - It's so far away
I'm finding winter in everything
I'm finding winter in everything
<@#Matt_Monro_Alfie.txt#@>
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
Then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.
<@#Matt_Monro_Strangers_In_The_Night.txt#@>
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in your smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away
And ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
For strangers in the night.

All my days, I will sing this song of gladness
Give my praise to the fountain of delights
For in my helplessness, You heard my cry
And waves of mercy poured down on my life
Beautiful Savior, wonderful counselor
Clothed in majesty, Lord of history
You're the way, the truth, the life
Star of the morning, glorious in holiness
You're the risen one, heaven's champion
And You reign, You reign over all
I will trust in the cross of my Redeemer
I will sing of the love that never fails
Of sins forgiven, of conscience cleansed
Of death defeated and life without end
Beautiful Savior, wonderful counselor
Clothed in majesty, Lord of history
You're the way, the truth, the life
Star of the morning, glorious in holiness
You're the risen one, heaven's champion

Yearn to dwell over glory never fades
Where countless worshipers will sing one song
And cries of worthy will honour the Lamb.
Worthy, worthy, worthy

As we come today
We remind ourselves of what we do
That these songs are not just songs
But signs of love for you
This is a holy moment now
Something of heaven touches earth
Voices of angels all resound
We join their song
Come come come
Let us worship God
With our hands held high
And our hearts bowed down
We will run run run
Through your gates o God
With a shout of love with a shout of love
Lord with confidence
We come before your throne of grace
Not that we deserve to come
But you have paid the way
You are the holy king of all
Heaven and earth are in your hands
All of the angels sing your song
We join them now

And now everyone that You have saved

Singing of a love now
You taught this broken heart to sing again
Everyday I'll sing, to thank You,
O to thank You
Singing of a life now
You taught this wounded soul to live again.
Everyday I'll live, to thank You,
O to thank You
And today and everyday...
And if my food is to do Your will
Then I'm hungry, still hungry
There's so much more

To thank You, to thank You

Take the world, but give me Jesus

Some kind of light into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there

And wild horses, couldn't drag me away.

Now you decided, to show me the same.
No sweeping exits, or offstage lines.
Can make me feel bitter, or treat you unkind.
And wild horses, couldn't drag me away.
And wild wild horses, couldn't drag me away.
(I know, I dreamed you a sin and a lie)
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried.
Let's do some living, after we die.
And wild horses, couldn't drag me away.
And wild wild horses, couldn't drag me away.
And wild wild horses, we'll ride them someday.

Bustas makin' smart remarks, I'm quick to bust ya
Never worry about my back, because I'm rollin' wit some hustlas
And we don't sell, we bail
Creep through the hood wit pockets fatter than the Goodyear blimp
Yeah, an oak town player, G
It's got to be the Goldie in me
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me
Somethin' 'bout an Oakland mack
When I hear this song
It makes an O.G. feel phat
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me
Somethin' 'bout an Oakland mack
When I hear this song
It makes an O.G. feel phat
<@#Meat_Loaf_Ill_Kill_You_If_You_Dont_Come_Back.txt#@>
From the minute I turned and laid my eyes on you, I had no eyes of my own
I was blind to the world, you were too good to be true
But you were something to see, so very young and alone
And I still don't believe the way you turned on me
Now where's the girl that I knew?
I gave you somewhere to live and then somebody to love
You gave me nothing but trouble, man, I've been such a fool
You gave me nothing at all, now let me give it to you
You taught me how to be cruel, now let me try it on you
How do you abuse me, let me count the ways
How many hours in how many days
How does it amuse you, let me count the pain
How many rules breaking how many games
[Chorus]
How do you abuse me, let me count the ways
How many hours in how many days
How does it amuse you, let me count the pain
How many rules breaking how many games
You got your ass out of gear and your soul out of whack
Go on and take all your stuff, don't even bother to pack
In every way I want you out of my life
But I'll kill you if you don't come back, I'll kill you if you don't come back
In the pit of the night you used to pull me so close
And then you'd hold me so tight
And in the wink of an eye you used to give me it all
And with a kiss in the darkness you'd deliver the light
And in the pit of the night I hear you laughing so loud
I know you're laughing at me
Oh ain't it funny and sad the way I fell for your lies
The way I fell into love and then I begged to be free
You gave me nothing at all, now let me give it to you
You taught me how to be cruel, now let me try it on you
[Chorus]
Somebody bless all the girls in the sand on the beach
They're dreamin' of boys and staying just out of reach
Bless all the cheerleaders down on the track
They're glistening like diamonds with sweat on their backs
Bless all the girls in the gangs on the street
They're looking for danger and they're holding their piece
Bless all the girls staying late after school
They're playing with fire and oh they're playing it cool
And bless all the shy girls who're learning to dance
They stare in the mirror and they conjure romance
Bless all the girls who are always alone
They kneel down in prayer and they wait up by the phone
Bless all the homecoming queens of the night
They're looking for magic in gymnasium lights
And bless all the girls who know what love is about
They try not to cry and then they try to put out
And bless all the homecoming queens of the night
They're looking for magic in gymnasium lights
And bless all the girls who know what love is about
They try not to cry and then they try to put out
Somebody bless all these girls that I never have met
But damn you and curse you after all that you've done
You're the one girl I'll never forget
You're the one girl I'll never forget
Somebody bless all these girls and everything that they do
But damn me and curse me for still needing you
And I'll kill you if you don't come back
I'll kill you if you don't come back

Hey Ricky, now mine is empty, how about one for you
We could sell it out together, seems tomorrow's overdue
Captain Video, done went home, one pilot laid to rest
And dragon ladies now talk that talk, about who loves who, who loves best
Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line, it's midnight at the lost and found
[Chorus]
Midnight at the lost and found, lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills, at the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found, midnight
Have a double, it's gettin' late, you'll get home, just rely on fate
Place just finally came alive, good old boys just arrived
Stools keep changin' faces, and the night just slips away
And like a long distance love affair, soon you've got to pay
Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line, it's midnight at the lost and found
[Chorus]
Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away
Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today
Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away
Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today
Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round
Everybody get back in line, last call for the lost and found
[Chorus: x4]
<@#Meat_Loaf_One_More_Kiss.txt#@>
(Part one)
At sunset you hear the soft parade is coming
And the cars and the beast behind, they all start humming
And ooh you got a cool machine, so let's get it runnin'
We'll break the silence of the night
And you know they're gonna hear us comin'
We always see them whisper, we know they're gonna talk
They fantasize the mysteries 'bout the night and the dark
So baby one more kiss, baby one more kiss,
We never have to say goodbye
Oh one more kiss, baby one more kiss,
It brings a little luck to the night
Artists got their easels, they're ready on the mark
Gonna try and take the pictures
Of the dust and the gold in the sparks
And ooh you got a cool machine, baby let's get it runnin'
You never looked so good before
And you know your time it's finally comin'
'Cause our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'
Our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'
So just one more kiss, baby one more kiss,
We never have to say goodbye
One more kiss, baby one more kiss,
I never wanna see you cry
One more kiss, baby one more kiss,
It brings a little luck to the night
One more kiss, baby one more kiss,
We never have to say goodbye
(Part two)
Ready, ready to roll, ready, ready to roll, ready, ready to roll, ready
Under my foot gonna hit it down,
Take this stance before the crowd
Sleepin' city urban fall,
Summer's sadness time to answer the call
Cool machine, get it runnin', ready to roll
Soft hands around my neck,
One more kiss then it's time to connect
Leave this child, leave me all alone,
This one's mine and I'm takin' it home
Ready, ready, ready to roll - this one's mine and I'm takin' it home
(Part three)
Now behind closed walls new histories start to rise
Of the soft parade and the heroes where they lie
And ooh you got a cool machine, baby let's get it runnin'
You never looked so good before
And you know your time it's finally comin'
'Cause our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'
Our home is the wind, you know we're gods of the mornin'
Champions of the night, when the engines are rumblin'
One more kiss, one more kiss, one more kiss, one more kiss
One more kiss, one more kiss
It brings a little luck, brings a little luck to the night
One more kiss, one more kiss, Ooh one more kiss
One more kiss, baby one more kiss, we never have to say goodbye
And ooh you got a cool machine, baby let's get it runnin'

Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
It's only two o'clock and the temperture's beginning to soar
And all around the city you see the walking wounded and the living dead
It's never been this hot and I've never been so bored
And breathing is just no fun anymore
And then I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said
I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said
You can feel the pulse of the pavement racing like a runaway horse
The subways are steaming and the skin of the street is gleaming with sweat
I've seen you sitting on the steps outside
And you were looking so restless and reckless and lost
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
Come on! come on!
And there'll be no turning back
You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back
Come on! come on!
It's time to burn up the fuse
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose
You've got nothing to do and even less to lose
So wander down the ancient hallway
Taking the stairs only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat now
I'm in the room at the top, you're at the end of the line
Open the door and lay down on the bed
The sun is just a ball of desire
And I wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
And I wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)

There ain't no hidden treasure, in this pot of gold you see.
Ain't no way you're going to make, no silk purse outta me.
Well I'm never ever gonna change your ways, I'll take you as you are.
You got something that I want, and that's a way to start.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
I told you that I loved you, right from the very start.
Now don't you make me start again, baby and open up my heart.
Well I know that I'm no angel, can say my first time out.
But you can count on what I've got, 'cause what I've got's enough.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
When it's cold I want it hot, I've always wanted what it not.
But when it comes to loving you, I'm yours no matter what you do.
Oh, you're my baby, I'm your man, this is not an angel's plan.
Can't you see it, it's a fact, loving you is where it's at.

"Pull over, shithead, this is the cops!"
Full tank, pockets lined with cash
Full throttle, gonna rip some ass.
Drive all day and through the night,
Romance the road, winding left to right.
The stars above guide me, the moonlight is free.
A feeling inside me and the whole world to see.
Driving fast makes me feel good,
The speed of light trapped under my hood.
Breaking laws 'cause there's nothing to do.
Driving the interstate, stopped for a 502.
Hundreds of miles rolled off today.
Signs lose their meanings, minutes tick away.
Dirt roads to interstates, I must have drove them all.
Cigarettes and burgers, caffeine and alcohol.
Drive until daybreak, always on the go.
Life on the freeway, night shift 'til dawn patrol.
Driving fast makes me feel good,
The speed of light trapped under my hood.
Breaking laws 'cause there's nothing to do.
Driving the interstate, stopped for a 502.
Stopped for a 502, next time it's gonna be you.
Stars above guide me
This feeling inside me
I drive until daybreak.
Life on the freeway is Hell.

<@#Megadeth_Code_Of_Annihilation.txt#@>
Hollow deeds and human death and torture hit men hard
In a rhetoric of equals
No such things as hell, not heaven, continues,
The code of annihilation confronts with social attack
As the flames of death are filled with brains in flux intact
No one would ever die too soon
Before the beginning of the baby boom
And before the beginning of an era in gubernatorial rhetoric
The rules of death and brutal attack while most men rise from the sick
The mortal path of greed and demonic inaction
Is about to be destroyed by demons attacking each other's adoration
This is the code of annihilation
Putting an end to devastation and distraction
(Repeat chorus)
And now, let demonic combat reign intact
Before male human mercenaries are ready to attack evil fallout
But it is not every male human being's fault
This is the code of annihilation
Putting an end to devastation and distraction
(Repeat chorus)
And now, let demonic combat reing intact
Before male human mercenaries are ready to attack evil fallout
But it is not every male human being's fault
This is the code of annihilation
Putting an end to devastation and distraction

Thermal count is rising in perpetual writhing
The primordial ooze and the sanity they lose
Awakened in the morning to more air-pollution warnings
Still we sleepwalk off to work as our nervous systems jerk
Pretending not to notice how history has forbode us
With the greenhouse in effect our environment was wrecked
Now I can only laugh as I read our epitaph
We end our lives as moles in the dark of the dawn patrol

I woke up in a black FEMA box
Darkness was all around me, in my coffin
My dreams are all nightmares anymore
And this is what I dream every night
The Leader of the New World Order, the President of the United States
Has declared anyone now residing inside the US of A
Without the R-F-I-D chip, you're just an illegal alien
An enemy combatant of America, welcome to the New World Order
This is the end of the road, this is the end of the line
This is the end of your life, this is the
A society in a society, inside the fence life as you know it stops
They got their rules of conduct and we got ours
Be quick or be dead, you crumble up and die, the clock is
Ticking so slowly and so much can happen in an hour
I learned my lessons the hard way, every scar I earned
I had to bleed, inside the day yard
A system of controlled movement, like a giant ant farm
Any time is long time, now you're not in charge of your time anymore
The Ex-President signed a secret bill that can
Land a legal US Citizen in jail and the
Patriot act stripped away our constitutional rights
They say a Concentration camp just popped up, yeah, right!
Refuse the chip? Ha! Get persecute and beat by the
Tyranny of Mind control, for the mark of the beast
All rights removed, you're punished, captured, and enslaved
Believe me when I say, this is the endgame!

Bestow upon me knowledge
Wizard, all-knowing, all-wise
I want to rule my kingdom
Make sweet the breeze, not once defiled
Dethrone the evil prince's iron fists in velvet gloves of sin
Parade the grey-robed monks, the vestal virgins
And wheel the wyvern's in
Let the ceremony consecrate the marriage
Let me be the protege of five magics
Give me alchemy!
Give me sorcery!
Give me wizardry!
Thermatology!
Electricity!
Master all of these
Magic if you please
Bring him to his knees
I master five magics
Possessed with hellish torment
I master magics "5"

Only one will stay alive
He who lives by the sword will surely also die
He who lives in sin will surely live the lie

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
I'm not going to wake up today
They've pulled my plug the picture fades
And as my body decays
Mold begins to fill my grave
The smell of death permeates
The silk within my coffin lays
Go to hell!
As they bury me now
Six feet there my body lies
Still feel like I'm going down
I hear a distant wailing cry
God something must've gone wrong
And much too late I realize
Go to hell!
I saw my funeral that day
I know who didn't show to mourn
My judgment was life in hell
Pillars of pain and thorns
My only friend's the goat
With 666 between his horns
Go to hell!
Place all your trust here in me
Rest assured these things I know
And as Charon sails the sea
Your journey too shall end below
Ah yes, you're all sitting ducks
It's true you reap what you sow
Go to hell!
Now I lay me down to sleep
Blah, blah, blah my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I'll go to Hell for Heaven's sake

My life's on time but again my sense is late.
Feel a might unsteady but I still have to play.
Six to one's the odds and we have the highest stakes.
And once again I gamble with my very life today.
Highly polished metal, the oil makes it gleam.
Fill the terror chamber, your mind begins to scream.
Your life is like a trigger, never troubled till you're squeezed.
Now you crack a smile as you give the gun a tease.
Place the pistol down, now give the gun a spin.
Soon as the spinning stops, oh no, the game starts in.
A hateful way of vengeance, a bit of playful sin.
Load another bullets, now the second round begins.
A couple grains of power, a couple grams of lead.
A touch against the trigger, a touch inside the head.
Take another drink and raise the last bets.
Think about my last words, they might be what I just said.
A click comes from the hammer that couldn't drive a nail.
Sense the numbing cold blue or the red of Hades' grill.
A fraction of a second, do you lose or maybe still.
Pass it to the left and collect your mighty kill.
Add another bullet, the third round begins.
Soon as the spinning stops, oh no, the game starts in.
Please, no IOUs no markers for death.
Does anybody play? Anybody? Somebody? Anybody play?
You, you! Next victim! You, next to die.
You, you! Next victim! You, next to die.
You, come on! Next victim! Your turn to die!
You, come on! Next victim! Your turn to die!

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry

The way you look when the walls cave it
I like the way that your stomach knots
And how you cry for it all to stop
I like the way that you fool yourself
And make believe there's nobody else
I like the way that you stand in line
And beg salvation from the empty skies
Don't want no revenge
Ain't no pay back time
It ain't called getting even
Here comes the Reckoning Day

And your face when I see you break

Lying on your bed, examining my head
This is the part of me that hates
Paybacks are a bitch, I throw the switch
Somewhere the electric chair awaits
Hey! This was my life
Hey! This was my fate

This was the wrong one to be doing
This was the road to destiny
This was the road to my ruin

Now there's nothing left to say
Now there's method to the madness

In our beliefs there's lie
In our business there's sin
In our bodies there's die

I sailed away to China in a little rowboat to find you
And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned
Didn't want no one to hold you, what does that mean?
And you said
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Oh no, I've got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I've got to keep on moving
You're on the road and now you pray you'll last
The road behind you was rocky
But now you're feeling cocky
You look at me and you'll see your past
Is that the reason you're running so fast?
And she said
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Oh no, I've got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I've got to keep on moving
Never let another girl like you, whip me over
Never let another girl like you, drag me under
If I meet another girl like you, I will tell her
Never want another girl like you, have to say
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Oh no, I've got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

When I walk by the waterside
I look for things to say
And still I find you
I won't give up
Don't talk of giving up
And every night I swear I've finished
And when I rise to face the day
Resolve just fades away
And so it follows
Trying to find strength of purpose
I place temptation out of reach
Then search in every niche
Until I find you
I won't give up
Don't talk of giving up
I won't give it up--Love this world
No thoughts of giving up oh no no no no no
Perhaps its only saints who suffer
For those needs to which we're slaved
This roaad I walk is paved with good intentions
The final choice hangs on a wire
And there's no room for feet to stray
The piper waits for pay
And still I find you
I won't give up
Don't talk of giving up
I won't give up--Love this world
No thoughts of giving up oh no no no no no
I won't give it up--Love this world
Don't talk of giving up
I won't give it up--Love this world
No thoughts on giving up

Don't ask me to love my neighbor
Cause I don't love the man
Don't ask me for my favors
I won't lend a hand
And if I had real power
Then I could disappear
Wouldn't have to be around you
I'd sink into the atmosphere
Then I wouldn't hear
Your hard luck story
It's a hard luck, a hard luck story
Don't ask me to tip the waiter
For he is underhand
I can tell he is a woman hater
And he is a nasty man
Within reach lies all desire
For each and every soul
Stripped bare and stretching higher
You fall into the last black hole
To end your hard
Hard luck story
It's a hard luck
Hard luck story
Don't ask me to pray to Jesus
I've never met the man
I only meet weekend preachers
Pictures of the promised land
All the new holy saviors
Who pretend to understand
Who do you think will save you
Modern day beggar man
Such a hard luck
Hard luck story
It's a hard luck
Hard luck story
It's such a hard
Hard luck story
It's a hard luck
Hard luck story
Don't ask me to love my neighbor
Don't ask me to tip the waiter
Don't ask me to pray to Jesus
He picked his time to leave us
It's a hard luck
Hard luck story
It's a hard luck
Hard luck story
It's a hard luck story

Carpet stained with my red wine
I've been staring at the fire
I keep looking at the time
I'm waiting on you
I can hear the howling wind
Yes the sound is getting higher
As the night is closing in
I'm waiting on you
Those big black eyes wicked smile
That you flash as you walk through my door
Into my life
Into my life
Into my life
Won't you come in and sit right down
Here let me pour a stolichnaya
Why is it when you come around
I'm waiting on you
We drink until we get too tired
Even though you try to dance for me
I still can't light up your fire
So I'm waiting on you
From time to time I feel so blind
And there's still so much more left to do
Into my life
Into my life
Into my life
You call me on the telephone
You say that I am always busy
So why am I here all alone
Waiting on you
I pick you up in my white car
I could fall ever so easily
Why you keep me hanging on
I'm waiting on you
Still, those big black eyes wicked smile
That you flash as you walk through my door
Into my life

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
[Chorus]
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill
[Chorus]
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situation
I know will be alright
It's just overkill
[Chorus]
<@#Men_At_Work_Sail_To_You.txt#@>
Now there is this place
With so much space
It's at the bottom of the world
So it lay unspoiled
Wind and rain, hurricane
And the black man reigned
Till the white man came
They sailed to you
Sail to you
People talk there
And they talk here
About the new world
They say its the last frontier
But its so one dimension
I feel apprehension
And you can't disguise
The condescension
I sail to you
I sail to you
Dear old England had a mind
Around that time
'Cause they had a few problems with
The rising crime
Wouldn't lose our head
If you stole a loaf of bread
You got a one way ticket
To Australia instead
I don't know why, I don't even try
To work out all of the reasons why
Well its like a drug--gets in the blood
Calls me back and that's enough
I fly to you
Fly to you
I don't care and you don't care
All I know that's its there
Breath the air into my lungs
And pray that doomsday never comes
Sail to you
Sail to you

Lies dreaming in death
He sleeps under cosmos shaking
Stars granting his breath
He wakes as the world dies screaming
All horrors arrive
He wakes giving earth its bleeding
Pure madness alive
And He haunts you
And He blinds your soul
And He loathes you
And reclaims it all
You turn to stone
Can't look away

He sways in abyss returning
Inhaling black skies
He shakes with a torture burning
All lost in his eyes

You can't put a butterfly in a jar
If the effort's too high no matter who you are
You can't catch the moon, or the sun or the stars
It doesn't matter who you are
Iced honey, iced honey
Now me I've tried a million tricks
To make life cold and make it stick
Not running heat that flames then out
But the proud piece of ice that always floats
Iced honey, iced honey
If I can't trap a butterfly or a bee
If I can't keep my heart where I want it to be
If no matter how much soul and heart
I put to the wood
If a flaming heart is not that good
Iced honey, iced honey
If you can't put a butterfly in a jar
If violence mars your final hour
If you make others feel like jam
Poured on a piece of charbroiled lamb
If it's all mixed up and you cannot shout
And your oxygen starts to run out
If your final gasp has the recipe wrong
And instead of hello you say so long
If your energy starts to leak out
And people wonder what you're all about
A heartbreaker with an unattached heart
The story of love gives them all a start
And me, I've always been this way
Not by choice, just this way
I can't put my honey pot in a jar
Or a heart or a fist of some young boy
If you can't put a butterfly in a jar
No wonder no need to wonder where you are
It might seem like hell, the River Styx
Your affection never sticks
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
A butterfly heart flies right past you
There's nothing to say, nothing to do
See if the ice will melt for you
See if the ice will melt for you
See if the ice will melt for you
See if the ice will melt for you
See if the ice will melt for you
Iced honey, ah ah ah iced honey
Iced honey, iced honey
See if the ice will melt for you
See if the ice will melt for you
See if the ice will melt for you
See if the ice will melt for you
Iced honey, iced honey
Oh iced honey
See if the
See if the ice will melt for you

Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knocks at your door
Lock up your wife and children now
It's time to wield the blade
For now you have got some company

On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
You have been dying since the day
You were born
You know it has all been planned
The quartet of deliverance rides
A sinner once a sinner twice
No need for confession now
'Cause now you have got the fight of your life
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
Time
Has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack your face
Famine
Your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence
For what you have had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death
Deliverance for you for sure
There is nothing you can do
So gather round young warriors now
And saddle up your steeds
Killing scores with demon swords
Now is the death of doers of wrong
Swing the judgment hammer down
Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die

A hundred times I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more
A thousand nights, I have sworn not to stay, ooh oh
I remained tangles in the chains of desire, ooh
I know that it's no good
I shouldn't be here
I know I should leave you
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
No, I shouldn't be so weak
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
A heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be
A hundred ways you have captured my soul
I can't hold on, but I can't let go
Your spell on me is a spell I can't break, ooh oh
All my strength burning in the flames of desire, ooh
I don't wanna stay here
I don't wanna leave you
Don't know how to leave you
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
No, I shouldn't be so weak
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
(Oh, so strong)
Oh, so strong
I can't let go
So strong, yeah
'Cause you're a part of my soul
And I, I can't escape you
No matter how hard I try
I can never be free of your hold on me
(Oh, so strong)
Oh, I can't let go, oh
A hundred times, I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
No, I shouldn't be so weak
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
(In your eyes I know)
That a heart can only be so strong
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
(In your eyes I know)
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong

Artist: Michael Bolton
Song: All For Love
The night becomes the dawn
To prove that love goes on
It's written in the stars and in my heart of hearts
With you is where I still belong
Through every page we turn
Each lesson that we've learned
Will finally set us free or bring us to our knees
But love is right and never wrong
Chorus
We know we can say we gave it all
We gave it all for love
Each step of the way we gave our soul
We gave it all for love. All for love
In silent prayers I pray
What words could never say
To reach into your heart
No matter where you are
To promise we will find a way
To walk the road we've known
The road that leads us home
A million dreams
I've dreamed in every one I've seen
The face of you and you alone
Repeat chorus
A lifetime goes by so fast
For the secrets that remain
Soon the future becomes the past
When I hold you again.
I'm gonna hold you forever
In silent prayers I pray
What words could never say
To reach you through the dark
To reach deep into your heart
And promise we will find a way
As night becomes the dawn
To prove that love goes on
Through every page we turn
Each lesson that we've learned
Will finally set us free or bring us to our knees
But love is right and never wrong
We give it all for love

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
<@#Michael_Bolton_Fools_Game.txt#@>
When I met you, oh
You know at first you had me so confused
I used to lay awake at night
Just copin' with the feelings I so long refused
Well, I surrendered my love
I saw you turn your heart stone-cold to ice, darlin'
I put my heart on the line for you
Oh, I did, I put my heart on the line, yeah
First you take me to the highest ground
Then you keep me hanging like some foolish clown
[Chorus]
It's such a fools' game, yeah
It's such a fools' game
I keep playing such a fools' game, yeah (forever)
I keep on playin', keep on playin' this fools' game
Yeah, this fools' game
I can't take another sleepless night
It's time to light the fire down inside of you
I don't mind: I have the sun on my back
To get a feeling that you never knew
You never knew
Got the secret in the palm of your hands
Will you keep it, woman?
Will you break this man?
[Chorus]
Girl, I know you're playin' full time
But it may be too late when you make up your mind
You keep me in this fools' game
Forever in your fools' game
You got me caught up in this fools' game
Such a fools' game, oh no, a fools' game
How long will you keep me in this fools' game?
<@#Michael_Bolton_Forever_Eyes.txt#@>
I was standing in the moonlight
With my heart in my hands
Life had taken me full circle
And I was meant to love again
Playing all or nothing
I'd given up on love, yeah
Just when I thought
I'd never fall in love again
The bough of my heart opened
And you walked in
With those......
Chorus:
Forever eyes, looking right at me
Now I find myself believing
Love will always be
In your forever eyes
Never say good-bye
'cause I only want to lose myself
In your forever eyes
There were times you'd see right through me
I'm a child in your hands
But the moment that you touch me
You set fire to this man
Burning inspiration
That's what I feel right now
Waves of emotion carry me along
Your love is like a river
Going on and on
In your....
Chorus:
Forever eyes
Chorus:
<@#Michael_Bolton_I_Almost_Believed_You.txt#@>
You came to me and told me it was over
You assured me you wouldn't need him anymore
But that look upon your face is too familiar
It was long ago, but I've been there before
And this song is like a movie that we might as well pretend
From the moment as the camera closes in
Just say it one more time with feeling
One more time like you really mean it
The last time you told me you loved me
I almost believed you
If I'd never realized what I was asking for
I'd be confused upon the the presence of your pain
Though your smile cannot disguise the hurt within you
It appears upon the mention of his name
But most of all the strangest thing
It's hard for me to bear
That the words that should be music to my ears
Say it one more time with feeling
One more time like you really mean it
The last time you told me you loved me
I almost believed it
Sometimes I wish that you'd save that line for someone else
Do you want me to believe what you don't believe yourself
Well, let's not talk about it now
In my life I've made mistakes
This is just one chance I'll have to take
So let's carry on with the story
Try and shoot the scene again
As the moment that the camera closes in
Just say it one more time with feeling
One more time like you really mean it
The last time you told me that you loved me
I almost believed you (I almost believed you)
Say it one more time (I almost believed you)
One more time with feeling (I almost believed you)
Almost, I almost believed you
One more time with feeling
<@#Michael_Bolton_I_Promise_You.txt#@>
I will promise you, yes I promise to
Love you for all your life
Love you every day and night
I will always be there for you
I'll be in your arms, you'll be in my heart
[Chorus]
I'll love you forever, I promise you
We'll be together, our whole life through
There's nothin' that I, I wouldn't do
With all of my heart, I promise you
I will take your hand, and I'll understand
Share all your hopes and dreams
Show you what love can mean
Whenever life just gets too much for you
I'll be on your side, to dry the tears you cry
[Chorus]
Oh I will always be in your arms
And you will always be the flame
within my heart
[Chorus]
There's nothin' in this world I wouldn't do
I promise you
<@#Michael_Bolton_Night_And_Day.txt#@>
Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you day and night
Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night
Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an, oh, such a hungry yearnin', burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day
Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you day and night
Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
Silence of my lonely room

Day and night, night and day
<@#Michael_Bolton_O_Holy_Night.txt#@>
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
<@#Michael_Bolton_Once_In_A_Lifetime.txt#@>
People fill their lives, with empty nights,
And days that slip away
Some search till the end of time, but never find,
The open arms of fate
One moment comes along, someone who's a dream to you,
All at once your dreams come true
[Chorus:]
Once in a lifetime, you find the one you really love
For now and forever, one love that never ends
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading your heart to the one love you find
Just once in a lifetime
Some people live their lives in compromise,
And hide their dreams away
Some never take the chance, within their hands,
To claim the prize they make
When faith is all you need, to hold the hand of destiny,
Find the love that's meant to be
[Chorus]
If you believe in the power of love
And you believe that dreams come true
Magic will fill your heart, when that moment comes along
Just once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading you home to the one love you find
Just once in a lifetime, Just once in a lifetime
<@#Michael_Bolton_Pourquoi_Me_Reveiller.txt#@>
(Werther) (Why do you wake me now?)
Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemos?
Sur mon front je sens tes caresses.
Et pourtant bien proche est le temps
Des orages et des tristesses.
Demain, dans le vallon,
Se souvenant de ma gloire premiere,
Et ses yeux vainement chercheront ma splendeur:
Ils ne trouveront plus que deuil et que misere!
Helas! Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemps?
Synopses
Werther is madly in love with Charlotte, his friends wife. To forget her, he
has run away. But when he returns, he finds he is more in love than ever.
Werther recites a favorite poem for Charlotte, and at last realizes that fatal
truth: Charlotte can never return his love.
English translation
Why do you wake me now, o sweetest breath of spring?
On my brow I sense your most gentle caress,
Yet how soon creeps on the time.
Filled with tempests and with distress!
Tomorrow through the vale, the traveler will pass,
Recalling all of the glory of the past.
And in vain he will search for the bloom of my youth,
And nothing will he find but deep pain and endless sorrow.
Alas! Why do you wake me now, o sweetest breath of spring!

<@#Michael_Bolton_Summer_Wind.txt#@>
The summer wind
Came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there
To touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song
Then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind
Like painted kites
Those days and nights they went flyin' by
The world was new
Beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man
One day it called to you
I lost you
I lost you to the summer wind
The autumn wind and the winter winds
They have come and gone
And still the days
Those lonely days they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies
Through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
The summer wind
Warm summer wind
<@#Michael_Bolton_Take_Me_As_I_Am.txt#@>
Woman, you don't understand
Oh, I'm just a man
Baby, that's all I am
That's all I have ever been
And you, you don't understand
Oh, I've gotta live
You make it so hard to do
You know you hurt me, baby
Take me, take me as I am
Take me as I am, baby
Oh, oh, take me as I am
All I believe is that you've taken me
For some kind of dream
I don't want to wait too long
For my love is in the way to see it
I don't want to lose you, baby
But your love is in the way
You gotta listen
It's time to listen to me
You, you don't realize
Oh, I've gotta live
You make it so hard to bear
It may be hard for me to go on
And I know, I know, I know
You'll understand
I'm just a man, baby
That's all I am
Don't make it hard on me
Just take me, take me as I am, baby
Take me as I am, baby
Take me as I am, oh
Take me as I am, baby
Oh, take me as I am now
<@#Michael_Bolton_The_Christmas_Song.txt#@>
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by the fire
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
<@#Michael_Bolton_The_Courage_In_Your_Eyes.txt#@>
Nobody ever warned you
Nobody could have ever known
The road that lay before you
The journey that would lead you home
How steep was the mountain
How long was the fight
In the face of something so wrong
Somebody had to make it right
[Chorus]
The courage in your eyes
The wisdom in your smile
The strength within your heart
To walk the endless mile
The years have only shined upon your face
And showered you with dignity and grace
Like the way you live your life
And the light you've always shown
More than the world, more than the world
Has ever known
Through the night and the darkest hours
The promise and the faith you kept
Brought the fury and the danger
To your home where your children slept
You believed in a time for love
There'd never be a time for hate
What kind of woman keeps the dream alive
What kind of dream does a lifetime take
[Chorus]
<@#Michael_Bolton_The_One_Thing.txt#@>
As I'm looking back in time
My heart was young and the world was mine
Driven by desires blind
I remember someone told me as the years roll by
Remember one thing, the one thing
People come and people go
The way the winds of fortune blow
So hard to find that heart of gold
I remember someone told me
When you find it, don't let go
[Chorus]
You're the one thing, you're the one thing, baby
Makes this world heaven
Makes the whole thing right
You're the one thing
That means something, baby
The one I believe in
The one thing I need in my life
As I look into your lovin' eyes
There ain't no doubt just where my treasure lies
I've searched the earth for somethin' true
But the only truth that matters is my love for you
And that's the one thing, the one thing
Timeless as the stars, faithful as the sea
Like the endless risin' sun, I know you'll be there for me
There's so much love inside, this heart of mine could break
'Cause I know I've found forever and with every breath I take
[Chorus]
And your love is like a rainbow
In a world that's black and white
You paint my dreams in color
And in your arms they come alive
You're my every inspiration
You're the wings that make me fly
You're my only destination
You're the one thing, the one thing in my life, oh
You're the one thing, you're the one thing, baby
[Chorus]
<@#Michael_Bolton_The_Very_Thought_Of_You.txt#@>
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish as it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
<@#Michael_Bolton_These_Eyes.txt#@>
These eyes, cry every night for you
These arms, they long to hold you again
The hurtin's on me
And I will never be free, no
Gave a promise to me
Then you broke it, and you broke it
These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend
The hurtin's on me
I will never be free, no
You took a vow with me
And you spoke it, when you spoke it
Chorus
These eyes, are cryin'
These eyes have seen a lot of love
But they're never gonna see another
One like I had with you
(Repeat X2)
These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend
Chorus X2
These eyes, cry every night for you

(Feat. Chris Botti)
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Oh, but we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, I've treated you unkindly
Oh, but Darling can't you see that, there's no one more important to me
Baby, baby, can't you see through me, 'cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front
When I was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now it's so much better
If my words don't quite come together, please listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there somewhere hiding
I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember when we were together
And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you
We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing
We were alone, and I was singing this song for you
Singing my song, I'm singing my song for you
<@#Michael_Buble_All_I_Do_Is_Dream_Of_You.txt#@>
All I do is dream of you

With the dawn I still go on
Dreamin' of you
You're every thought, you're everything
You're every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn and spring
And were there more than twenty-four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content just dreamin' away
When sky's are gray, when sky's are blue
Morning, noon and nighttime, too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you
When sky's are grey,
Even when they're blue
And were there more than twenty-four hours in a day
Oh they'd be spent in sweet content just dreamin' away
When sky's are gray, when sky's are blue
Morning, noon and nighttime, too
All I do the whole day through is dream
(I'm dreamin', dreamin' a dream)
Of (Just dreamin', I dream a little dream)

With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.

How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in
That Old top hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.
Oh, Frosty the snowman

I'm not surprised
Not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times,
I stopped keepin' track.
Talk myself in
I talk myself out
I get all worked up
Then I let myself down.
I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility
And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid, that I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

I'll never give up

And the other half's luck
Wherever you are
Whenever it's right
You come out of nowhere and into my life
And I know that we can be so amazing
And baby your love is gonna change me

Could you be a teenage idol
Could you be a movie star
When I turn on my TV
Will you smile and wave at me
Tellin' Oprah who you are is strange
So you want to be a rock star
With blue eyed bunny's in your bed
Well remember when you're rich that you sold yourself for this,
You'll be famous 'cause you're dead.
So don't go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself.
I don't want to take you dancing
When you're dancing with the world
Well you can flash your caviar and your million dollar car
I don't need that kind of girl
But you could be that next sensation
Or will you set the latest style
You don't need a catchy song
'Cause the kids will sing along
When you shoot it with a smile
So don't go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself.
So don't fly higher, for your fire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself.
Keep it on your head Hollywood is dead.
Well you can do the mighty tango
You can strut your little thing
You can swing from vine to vine
While the kiddies wait in line
With the money in their hands
But if you get to California
Save a piece of gold for me
If it's the only thing you'll save
Then I'll bet you'll never wave when I watch you on tv.
So don't go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead you can find it in yourself.
So don't fly higher, for your fire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself.
Keep on loving what is true and the world will come to you,
You can find it in yourself
Love what is true and the world will come to you,
You can find it in yourself
No no no no no
Keep it in your head, Hollywood is dead
Come, come Hollywood is dead babe woo hoo
Oh Hollywood is dead yeah yeah
Oh Hollywood is dead babe woo hoo
Keep on loving what is true and the world will come to you,
Hollywood is dead, get it in your head, Hollywood is dead

Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I want to go home
Mmm
Maybe surrounded by
A million people, I
Still feel all alone
I just want to go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
'I'm fine, baby, how are you?'
Well, I would send them, but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I want to go home
Mmm, I've got to go home
Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I want to come home
And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me
Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I want to go home
Let me go home
And I'm surrounded by
A million people, I
Still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me too
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
And If you want a partner take my hand
And If you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man
And if you want boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a Doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
And if you want a driver climb inside
And if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
Cause I'm your man
Ah the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running thru these promises to you
That I made and could not keep
But a man has never got a woman back
Not by begging on his Knees
I've crawled to you baby
And I've followed your feet
I've howled at your beauty like a dog in heat
I've called at your heart
And I tear at your sheet
Cause I'm your man
And if you got to sleep a moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work this week alone
I'll disappear for you
And if you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Cross the sands
Well I'm your man
Ah the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast wont go to sleep
I've been running thru these promises to you
That I made and could not keep
But a man has never got a woman back not by begging on his Knees
I've crawled to you baby
And I've followed your feet
I've howled at your beauty like a dog in heat
I've called at your heart
And I tear at your sheets
Cause I'm your man
I'm your man

Up a lazy river by the old mill run
Lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, dream with me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes that mornin', as we roll along
Blue skies up above ....everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we will be
Up a lazy river with me
Up a lazy river by that old mill run
That lazy, hazy river in the noon day sun
You can linger for a while in the shade of a tree
Throw, away your troubles, baby, dream of me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes that bright new mornin' as we roll along
There may be blue skies up above
But as long as we're in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we could be
If you go up a lazy river with me
<@#Michael_Buble_Learnin_The_Blues.txt#@>
The tables are empty
The dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song
It's the tenth time you've heard it
And that's the beginning
Just one of those clues
You've had your first lesson
In learning the blues
The cigarettes you light
One after another
Won't help you forget her
Or the way that you love her
You're only burning
A torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track
For learning the blues
When you're at home alone
The blues will haunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you're crying
But you can't forget her
Soon you'll stop trying
You'll walk the floor
And wear out your shoes
When you're feeling your heart break
You're learning the blues

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe
And it keeps it way out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk, one Sunday mornin
Lies a body oozin' life
Someone's sneakin' round that corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
Oh there's a tugboat down, down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
That cement's there, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
Now MacHeath spends, he spends like a sailor
Could that boy have done somethin' rash?
Ahhhh Jenny Diver, ho, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
Look out, old Macky is back!

He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,

So be good for goodness sake

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way,(there's a way) everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, (If I ain't got you)
If I ain't got you, (If I ain't got you)
Baby, you don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, yeah I'm blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am?
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, (If I ain't got you)
If I ain't got you, (If I ain't got you)
Baby, you don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like

You'll never find, as long as you live
Someone who loves you tender like I do
You'll never find, no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you the way I do
Whoa, I'm not braggin' on myself, baby
But I'm the one who loves you
And there's no one else! No one else!
You'll never find, it'll take the end of all time
Someone to understand you like I do
You'll never find the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared, just us two
Whoa, I'm not tryin' to make you stay, baby
But I know some how, some day, some way
You are (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it's cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove
You'll never find another love like mine
Someone who needs you like I do
You'll never see what you've found in me
You'll keep searching and searching your whole life through
Whoa, I don't wish you no bad luck, baby
But there's no ifs and buts or maybes
(You're gonna) You're gonna miss (miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know you're gonna my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it gets real cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know, I know that you are gonna miss my lo-o-ove
Let me tell you that you're gonna miss my lovin'
Yes you will, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')

I know, I know, I know that you are gonna miss

As I drove across on the highway
My jeep began to rock
I didn't know what to do so I stopped and got out
And looked down and noticed I got a flat
So I walked out, parked the car like sideways
So I can find what I can fix
I looked around there were no cars on the highway
I felt a strange feeling like a mist
I walked down towards the end of the road
And in the fog a woman appeared
She said don't you worry my friend I'll take care
Take my hand, I'll take you there
Woah-oh
Take me to a place without no name
Place without no name
Take me to a place without no name
No Name
As she took me right through the fog
I see a beautiful city appear
Where kids are playin' and people are laughin' and smiling and
No one's in fear
She said this is the place where no people have pain
And in love and happiness
She turned around looked down at my eyes and started cryin'
She grabbed my hand, you got a friend
Woah-oh
Take me to a place without no name
Place without no name
Take me to a place without no name
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
She started likin' me kissin' me and huggin' me
She didn't really, really want me to leave
She showed me places I've never seen things I've never done
This place really looks like a lotta fun
I seen the grass and the sky and the birds
And the flowers surrounded by the trees
This place is filled with love and happiness
And not a world could I wanna leave
So then I went in my pocket took my wallet on out
With my pictures of my family and girl
This is the place that you choose to be with me
When you thought you could be in another world
Ooh-ooh
Take me to a place without no name
Place without no name
Take me to a place without no name
No name
Take me to a place without no name
No Name
Take me to a place without no name

Every night stance is like takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And now you're gonna get it
Every hot man is out takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And now you do regret it
To escape the world I've got to enjoy that simple dance
And it seemed that everything was on my side

Hey baby do what you please

She waits at backstage doors
For those who have prestige
Who promise fortune and fame
A life that's so carefree
She's says that's ok
Hey baby do what you want
I'll be your night lovin' thing

I didn't call on the phone to
Say that I'm alright
Diana walked up to me,
She said I'm all yours tonight
At that I ran to the phone
Sayin' baby I'm alright
I said but unlock the door.
Because I forgot the key.

Because he's sleeping with me

Father runs to the table, he said, "What's going on?"
Mother cries desperately, "Our little baby's gone"

Saying that he'll buy her things while sexually abusing her
Just think that she's all alone somewhere out on the street
How will this girl survive? She ain't got nothin' to eat

Just imagine how scared they are
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's now twelve o'clock
And there's someone out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
<@#Michael_Jackson_Earth_Song.txt#@>
What about sunrise?
What about rain?
What about all the things that you said
We were to gain?
What about killing fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the things
That you said were yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?
Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
What have we done to the world?
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son?
What about flowering fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shores?
Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far
Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)
What about apathy
(What about us)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
Do we give a damn

Everybody's somebody's fool
The world is the biggest school
As you live, you learn though a torch will burn
Everybody's somebody's fool
You go through life making fools of others
Pretending you're giving them love
But remember sister or brother
You all have to answer to the one you above
It's beautiful to watch love begin
But oh so sad when it ends
As you got through life remember this rule
Everybody's somebody's fool
It's beautiful to watch love begin
But oh so sad when it ends
As you got through life remember this rule
Everybody's somebody's fool
<@#Michael_Jackson_Ghosts.txt#@>
There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul upon the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood up on the stairs
And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know that that's the truth
Because now it's onto me
I don't understand it
Hey
I don't understand it!
Aaow
There's a tappin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But there's no-one sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where a restless soul is going
Don't understand it
Hey!
Don't understand it
Hey.
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me!
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy
There's a tappin in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody's sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around

And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where a restless soul is going
Don't understand it!
Yeah Yeah!
Don't understand it!
Your just a dog gone!
Aaow!
And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
And who gave you the right to take intrusion, to see me?
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back,
Shot an arrow in me!
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
A suckin' ghost of jealousy
Aaow!

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon

<@#Michael_Jackson_Little_Susie.txt#@>
Somebody killed little Susie
The girl with the tune
Who sings in the daytime at noon
She was there screaming
Beating her voice in her doom
But nobody came to her soon
A fall down the stairs
Her dress torn
Oh the blood in her hair
A mystery so sullen in air
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care,
Oh the blood in her hair
Everyone came to see
The girl that now is dead
So blind stare the eyes in her head
And suddenly a voice from the crowd said
This girl lived in vain
Her face bear such agony, such strain
But only the man from next door
Knew Little Susie and how he cried
As he reached down
To close Susie's eyes
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care
Oh the blood in her hair
It was all for God's sake
For her singing the tune
For someone to feel her despair
To be damned to know hoping is dead and you're doomed
Then to scream out
And nobody's there
She knew no one cared
Father left home, poor mother died
Leaving Susie alone
Grandfather's soul too had flown
No one to care
Just to love her
How much can one bear
Rejecting the needs in her prayers
Neglection can kill
Like a knife in your soul
Oh it will
Little Susie fought so hard to live
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care
So young and so fair

Hurt so bad sometimes it's hard to breathe
Oh why why

They want more money but the board won't pay

Everybody's talkin' 'bout ecology
The air's so polluted that it's hard to breathe

But that's what makes the world go round
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground young men

They'd swear you're a Hippy if you have long hair
Young politicians fight for poverty
While people still cry for equality

And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

Heard he grew up in Queens,
Got a bullet to the brain,
Dug a step into fame,
But that don't mean a thing,
Said he'd rather be king,
With an absolute reign,
'Till he finds himself a victim of the game,
(He was stabbing her back, as a matter of fact)
Then his life became serious,
Marchin' like the soldier,
Marchin' like a soldier boy,
Show you the things that make a man a king,
Marchin' like the soldier,
Marchin' like a soldier boy,
Why don't you shine like you're the man again
People say that you're blind,
Then they say that you're fine,
But they won't help you find,
Find the road again,
If they won't help you fight
So they torture your mind
Then leave you delirious (hee hee hee), Oh my

Mask of life, feelin' insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away

On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me

How does it feel
How does it feel
When you're alone
And you're cold inside
Here abandoned in my fame
Armageddon of the brain
KGB was doggin' me
Take my name and just let me be
Then a beggar boy called my name
Happy days will drown the pain
On and on and on it came
And again, and again, and again
Take my name and just let me be

A little carnal knowledge is a dangerous thing
It'll eat a hole in the brain
I'd be the biggest fool in the whole universe
To trade a heavenly blessing for a worldly curse
I was a weaker man 'til I made my stand
Now I am here to make a change
[Chorus:]
I'm running blind on the wheels of faith
(I'm) moving to the beat of a heart that prays
(And) hangin' on every word you said
I get a little stronger every day
Ain't ganna find any help on the T.V.
Or written down on the pages of People Magazine
It takes digging a little deeper into the Good Book now
For a little sacred advice...oh yah

Gettin' strong, a stronger now, every day

Feelings in my soul that I've laid to rest
So breathe in me, I need You, now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me, maybe somehow
You can breathe new life in me again
I used to be so sensitive
To the light that leads to where You are
Now I've acquired these callouses
With the darkness of a cold and jaded heart
So breathe in me, I need You, now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me, maybe somehow
You can breathe new life in me again
So breathe in me, I need You, now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me, maybe somehow
You can breathe new life in me again

Child in the manger, Infant of Mary
Outcast and stranger, Lord of all

Infant of wonder
Angels behold Him On His throne
Worthy our Savior
Of all our praises
Happy forever

<@#Michael_W._Smith_From_Here_On.txt#@>
Michael W. Smith
You must have felt alone
Reaching through your doubt
But I never meant to close you out
While I was building dreams
You were building fears
And I was the cause of all those tears
But can I start over and break new ground?
I know I've let you down (oh babe...)
Do you feel the weight of the world
Heavy on your shoulders
Well, let my love take you down another road
And lighten up the load
From here on
Many were the times I failed to follow through
Of pieces of heaven I promised you
It wasn't paradise, it wasn't even close
And I hurt the one I love the most
And sorry could never be good enough
But I will make it up to you...
I know you feel the weight of the world
Heavy on your shoulders
Let my love take you down another road
And lighten up the load
From here on
<@#Michael_W._Smith_Gloria.txt#@>

(Gloria O sing Gloria)
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
Gloria O Gloria in excelsis Deo

I was lost when ya found me here
You pulled me close and held me near
And I'm a fool but still you love
I'll be your fool for the king of love
He gave me wings so I could fly
And gave me a song to color the sky
And all I have is all from you
And all I want is all of you
It's grace, grace
I'm nothing without you
Grace, your grace
Shines on me
And there've been days when I've walked away
Too much to carry
Nothing left to say
Forgive me Lord when I'm weak and lost
You traded heaven for a wooden cross
And all these years you've carried me
You've been my eyes when I could not see
And beauty grows in the driving rain
Your ode of gladness in the times of pain
It's grace, your grace
I'm nothing without you
Grace, your grace
Your grace, your grace
I'm nothing without you
Grace, your grace
Shines on me oh yeah

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town.
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long.
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found.
Tears of joy and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name.
[Chorus]
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher.
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain.
Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began.
And in your eyes I see the pain.
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain.
And only you, the son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand.
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the Great I Am.
[Chorus]
Healing rain is falling down,
Healing rain is falling down,
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid.

When you feel the sunlight
Fade into the cold night
Don't know where to turn
I don't know where to turn
And all the dreams you're dreaming
Seem to lose their meaning
Let me in your world
Baby, let me in your world
All you need is someone you can hold
Don't be sad, you're not alone
[Chorus]
I will be here for you
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
I'll shine a light for you
Somewhere in the night
I'll be standing by
I will be here for you
In this world of strangers
Of cold and friendly faces
Someone you can trust
Oh there's someone you can trust
I will be your shelter
I'll give you my shoulder
Just reach out for my love
Reach out for my love
Call my name and my heart will hear
I will be there, there's nothing to fear
[Chorus]
<@#Michael_W._Smith_I_Will_Carry_You.txt#@>
Sometimes I wonder if my beating heart has a reason
The thought of breathing only takes my breath away
I've spent so many nights wrestling with this feeling
Do I have the strength to make it through the day
But I was never meant
To walk this road alone
I can always trust you
When you say
I will carry you
Be your strength
And pull you through
Reach for me
And take my hand
We will pray
And we will stand
In a world
Crying out for peace
Let your heart be strong
For when I am weak
You will carry me
Sometimes you wonder if the road you're on has a reason
It's hard to go on when you just don't know
We can shoulder all the weight of life between us
Until the fear of what we cannot see is gone
Cause we were never meant
To walk this road alone
We are bound together
When we say

I really want to see you
I really want to touch you
If only I could hold you in my arms again
I really want to reach you
Forever to be with you
If only I could hold you in my arms again
It was written in the stars
On the pages of my heart
Oh, that someday I would find
The love I feel for you tonight
On the ocean of our dreams
Like a prayer you came to me
And the longing that had been
Found its ending in your eyes
And I am missing you tonight

Across the waves, across the sea
Separating you from me
Here's a promise and it's mine
I will love you for all time
I'm wishing you were here tonight

<@#Michael_W._Smith_Kentucky_Rose.txt#@>
Sun comes up Sunday morn
On the little church where I been since I was born
And there he stood a hearty smile
You could hear his voice ringing out for a country mile
And he could place your mind at ease
With his tenderness and a heart
That aimed to please
A pauper's hands a farmer's clothes
Just a preacher man we called Kentucky Rose
He worked the soul like he worked the land
He spoke in ways that anyone could understand
Simple words of simple faith
And when it came to love
He would go out of his way
A helping hand
A soothing chat
And he practiced what he preached imagine that
And as far as kindness goes
There was none compared to old Kentucky Rose
Evening stroll 'cross Shyler's bridge
That's when he saw the boy
Trapped below that rocky ridge
He knew the danger he would face
But it's as if he saved the child
Only to take his place
For on that ridge of stone and ice
Kentucky met his maker in a sacrifice
Why he's gone
God only knows
Maybe for the company of his Kentucky Rose
So peaceful in his Sunday best
He was buried on a hill and laid to rest
When people heard they came in droves
To say their last good-byes to sweet Kentucky Rose
Now, on that hill
One flower grows
They say it is the spirit of Kentucky Rose
They say it is the spirit of Kentucky Rose
I believe it is the spirit of Kentucky Rose

<@#Michael_W._Smith_Never_Been_Unloved.txt#@>
I have been unfaithful
I have been unworthy
I have been unrighteous
And I have been unmerciful
I have been unreachable
I have been unteachable
I have been unwilling
And I have been undesirable
[Chorus]
Sometimes, I have been unwise
I've been undone by what I'm unsure of
But because of you, and all that you went through
I know that I have never been unloved
I have been unbroken
I have been unmended
I have been uneasy
And I've been unapproachable
I've been unemotional
I've been unexceptional
I've been undecided
And I have been unqualified
[Chorus]
Unaware, I have been unfair
I've been unfit for blessings from above
But even I can see the sacrifice you made for me
To show that I have never been unloved
<@#Michael_W._Smith_Out_Of_This_World.txt#@>
Take stock of your life
What's wrong and what's right
Empty pockets, got no green
Don't you know sunshine is free
What breaks have you had
Some good and some bad
Want to go but got no car
Dreaming dreams can take you far
[Chorus]
You will find that life's worth living
In this world, it's out of this world
With a little love and a little giving
In this world, it's out of this world
Look to the future
Who's in the picture
Say your love life's just a dream
Still you've got a friend in me
Today, tomorrow
Laughter and sorrow
Gonna be some lows and highs
Might as well enjoy the ride
[Chorus]
<@#Michael_W._Smith_Picture_Perfect.txt#@>
Pull all your hair up
Dab on the make-up
Trying hard to look so pristine
Like a face in a magazine
Those fancy dressers and
Media pressure
Have got you feeling so plain and small
If you don't look like a paper doll
In a world where the goal is
To be like the Joneses
It's guaranteed to drive you wild
Keeping up with the latest style
Gaze in the mirror
You want the glamour
And the grace of a movie star
But I like you the way you are
You are the only one I'm dreaming of
Cause baby don't you know that I love
[Chorus]
You, girl
You don't have to be picture perfect
To be in my world
Girl
You don't have to be picture perfect
To fit the frame
You're tender, you're tactful
Girl, you're a natural
You possess a heart that's true
That's what I like about you
One in a million
Yea, that's a given
There's a beauty inside of you
And it show on the outside too
No competition, you're way in the lead
And baby, don't you know that I need
[Chorus]
<@#Michael_W._Smith_Reach_Out_To_Me.txt#@>
Another million miles from the Truth now
I know there's peace but I can't seem
To figure out how
To stop this race that's taking over me
I'm under the gun I wait for You to see
Oh, please reach out to me
Open my eyes to see
I'm running from you now
Come rescue me somehow
Another scar from fighting the Truth now
Has left me like a stranger to my need now
A masquerade, a game to figure out now
A cruel charade I cannot scream aloud
A narrow stretch of road in the way now
A heavy load still hanging on to me now
I'm in a maze that I can't seem to get out
Without a view from these shoulders of doubt
<@#Michael_W._Smith_The_Way.txt#@>
Caught in a dream of where I want to be
Wrapped in a web of where I am
I feel a wall between what is and what should be
You find me waiting for a miracle
You hear me praying for a plan
You are the only one prepared to rescue me
[Chorus:]
Then You take away the distance
Found between the truth and me
And You give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
Whoa, hide me in the heaven
You have held within Your hand
And make a way to find a way to soothe my mind
There is a way that might seem right to me
A dim reflection of what's good
Just an illusion of the best that I can be
But there's another path You offer me
I wish I always understood
Some way You see right through my thoughts
And know my needs
[Chorus]
<@#Michael_W._Smith_There_Is_Always_A_Song.txt#@>
I don't know how to breathe
I don't know how to leave You
I don't know what to say
And who am I to say it anyway?
But there is always a song
And I'll try to sing along over You
I can hear it being sung
All of Heaven sings along over You
I hardly know Your name
I didn't come to save You
Your smile just broke my heart
Now You're in my heart
I know You'll never leave me
But there is always a song
And I'll try to sing along over You
I can hear it being sung
All of Heaven sings along over You
But there is always a song
And I'll try to sing along over You
Sing, sing like you've never sung
Sing for your joy to come
Sing, sing like you've never sung
Sing of my joy to come
There is always a song
And I'll try to sing along over You
I can hear it being sung
All of Heaven sings along over You
There is always a song
And I'll try to sing along over You
There is always a song
And I'll try to sing along over You
Always for You

Hundred band juug, no you never hit it
You never been on the road to riches
This the story I tell so you pay attention
Cold turkey, yeah we had to eat it
So I take that pot and fucking beat it
You never been on the road to riches
Take your pen and your pad cause you gonna need it
Trap money, me and my dogs spend it
Your bitch, me and my dogs hit it
Drop the head on the Bentley then fall in it
When we dropped Versace, then y'all did it
They hate that we came from the Northside
Then lived in the city, got mob ties
They hate that we came in with plenty juice
Young nigga [?] first day of school
[Verse 1 - Quavo]
Remember the days with the pocket rockets
Turned the bando to a fucking hot pocket
It's a million dollars in the corner pocket
I just share the rock like I'm John Stockton
African diamonds, Olajuwon, Houston Rockets
My niggas [?], then go up out it
Ain't no need to talk about it
Megaton trucks, it don't weigh enough
Had to take out the plug, he was switching up
You mad cause your label do finger fucks

Gas off in the back of the spinner bus
Say that you trapping, really you got [?]
This is the life of the Hefty bags
You know that them ounces don't weigh enough

I came a long way from dropping [?]
Finessing the plug for his riches
Wake up in the morning, I go grab the spatula
Walk in the kitchen and whip me a chicken
Her wrist is a Masi, my neck is a Bentley
Blue Benjamins that can pay your tuition
Lupe said that Activis been discontinued
Double cup, a nigga still be sipping
Got a plug out in Mississippi
Wrap it up, ship it to Finley
I trap out the bando, don't trap out the trap house
And whatever you with, we with it
Came a long way from that midget
Money taller than a midget
I keep the mac like a [?]
Mama we made us a milli, we did it
Fuck the negativity, fuck the critics

[Verse 3 - Offset]
They hate that that money start coming
And I be too fresh, I call it double mints
I was on the block, you was on punishment
Giuseppe stepping, and my diamonds they compliments
Qc my label, and that's my establishment
Supercharge my Bentley, I call it Clark Kent
Me and my niggas spread the butter, margarine
Foreign [?], got Raris, I cut off the engines
Now park it
You can catch a bullet in your carcass
100 band juug, and you wasn't a part
I took the plug off and we had a departure
You telling a story bout me, I'm the author

Lean out the window that's when I yell
Driving so fast 'bout to piss on myself
Driving so fast 'bout to piss on myself
Police want to get him and put him in jail
I'mma do whatever to get him his bail
Hooked on donuts and [?]
[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm in that passenger seat riding high in the air
And we're driving fast 'til we plum out of gas
Let's go
[Chorus:]
[Verse 2:]
I'm a female rebel, can't you see
Riding around your backyard who could it be
Pull out on the scene
Pumping his breaks to the sound of the beat
Pumping his breaks to the sound of the beat
He don't understand what he's doing to me
Deep down inside like a pitbull in heat
Someone's coming so we
[Pre-Chorus:]
[Chorus:]
[Verse 3:]
It's 12 o'clock and I don't want to party
My big boyfriend and my big truck hobby
A little bit of dirt never hurt nobody
Now I got dirt all over my body
Might as well lie to L
His big fog lights is bright as hell
Calls it off, he starts to yell,
He hits the gas so I grab the rail
[Bridge: Nelly]
Sure you want to ride with me
If you scared don't lie to me
I'm a crazy motherfucker from the midwest
With a Mississippi flow and a
Four by four with the ultra steps
We doing donuts underneath the
I need a chick on time don't mind being early
A ride or die dollar six thirty
A straight up chick like twelve o'clock
I don't know where you at
That's what you tell the cops
Take a stand for a nigga
Raise a hand for a nigga
I solemnly swear he was with me all day
Up to the judge, he know what I love
Hell he could tell, she don't even budge
Round and round we go
Don't stop 'til I tell you so
[Pre-Chorus:]
[Chorus:]
[Outro:]
I'm a female rebel can't you tell can't you tell
I'm a female rebel can't you tell can't you tell

Gonna stay in bed today
'cause I can't stand the light
Don't know why I get so down
I won't be much fun tonight
And I can't believe
You still want to hang around me
It's not so pretty all the time
You don't mind
To you it's alright
As I am is how you take me
Never try to push or make me different
When I talk you listen to me
As I am is how you want me and
I know I've found the pieces missing
I'm looking at him
I'm not the girl you think you see
But maybe that's a lie
You almost know me better than
Me, myself and I
Don't know a lot of things
But I know what I got
It's not so perfect everyday
I don't have to try
'cause it all falls into place
As I am is how you take me
Never try to push or make me different
When I talk you listen to me
As I am is how you want me and
I know I've found the pieces missing
I'm looking at him
Face to face, eye to eye
You're standing there
Feels good on the inside
I don't mind, I don't care
You're standing there
Seein' me for the first time
Seein' me for the first time
Seein' me for the first time
As I am is how you take me
Never try to push or make me different
When I talk you listen to me
As I am is how you want me and
I know I've found the pieces missing
I'm looking at him
Found the pieces missing
Take me as I am
When I talk you listen
Take me as I am
Found the pieces missing
Take me as I am

Tell me your dreams, I'll tell you mine,
In our hearts we'll look inside,

I want to see beyond my own little world,
Grab your hands so we can twirl around the galaxy,

It's been in the past for awhile
I get a flash and I smile
Am I crazy
Still miss you baby
It was real
It was right
But it burned to hot to survive
All that's left
Is all these ashes
Where does the love go
I don't know
When it's all said and done
How could I be losing you forever
After all the time we spent together
I had to know why
I had to lose you
Now you just become
Like everything I'll
Never find again
At the bottom of the ocean
Dodod dododo
Dododo dodod
Dododo dododo
In a dream you appear
For awhile you were here
So I keep sleeping
Just to keep you with me
I draw a map
Connect the dots
With all the memories that I got
What I'm missing
I'll keep reliving
Where does the love go
I don't know
When it's all said and done
How could I be losing you forever
After all the time we spent together
I had to know why
I had to lose you
Now you just become
Like everything I'll never find again
At the bottom of the ocean
This is it
Let go
Breathe
You don't have to
Love me for me to
Baby ever understand
Just know I love the time we both had
And I don't ever wanna see you sad
Be happy
I don't wanna hold you
If you don't wanna tell me
You love me babe
Just know I'm gonna have to walk away
I'll be big enough for the both of us
To say be happy

Be happy

Be happy

Be happy

It's six a.m. and I'm wide awake
'Cause I can't stop thinking
About the stuff you'll say
And me and I, I can't let it slide
The paper's not here yet the sun's not up
But I'm not afraid to tell you what I feel inside
I had one of those dreams that make it all so
Clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
Why did I smile when I hurt inside?
Said I was okay when I knew it's a lie
I wanted to believe in you
You took your chances and one was me
So I'll just forgive you and set you free
I'm on my way
Yeah I'm stepping out of the haze
And it's so clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
I wanna put the past behind
Try and maybe I can find better days
The first time in a while
Think I even feel a smile on my face
I got a whole new perspective
You can't treat me that way
It's so clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective

You used to bring 'em down

Don't wanna be torn(x5)
Don't make me have to choose between

Cause I'll always be your little girl
But even little girls have got to dream
Now it all feels like a fight
You were always on my side

You used to make it go way
I thought you said it was easy
Listening to your heart

So why am I breakin' apart?
Don't wanna be torn (x5)
Why is all this so confusing,
Complicated and consuming?
Why does all this make me angry?

Verse 1:
There was this guy,
A little smaller,
He was great,
And I was taller.
He was the one I needed.
I asked him out,
But he said no,
Just wanna be friends,
But I'm sorry though.
So I begged and pleeded.
Chorus:
So I was left heart broken.
And no more words were spoken.
The next day he didn't even speak.
I looked away I felt so week.
I didn't even get one kiss.
How the hell can he do this.
But he thinks it's alright again.
So now still we are just friends.
Verse 2:
Still love him though,
Atleast I tried,
But I think I'd,
Rather have died,
But I'm dead over it.
It took some time,
To let him go,
It wasn't easy,
But I think we know,
I like him a bit.
Chorus x2
No more words to be spoken,
You left me heart broken.

Life is like an unpaved road
It's just keeps on spinnin' with it's bumps and turns
Ups and downs it's jumpin around!
You go through all hard times
You think you might not get through
Do I take a Right
Or do I take a Left
Life just seems to ramble on no matter the situation
Life has it's ups and downs
Sometimes you just need to get away
I know I've had my trouble
Making my desicions
Sometimes they aren't so great
I seeem to make it through these
But times are gettin' harder and harder
You need a lot of parental support
They know the road and the ways of life
And can help you make it through the day
After a while you'll get used to the road
And the way that is going to be
I promise you'll get used to it...
You'll just have to see
Cause Life's Like a road
And it must go on
And it seems like it goes on forever and ever...
But no day you will have to relize just how fast it stops

I lost myself on a cool damp night
I gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in it's recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Like my love
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she, coming to me
Nearly here
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Where's my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Where's my love
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear
Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love
Feel unready, for my love

Got lost in the shadows
Fell hard in the battle
Heard cries and the suffering
I walked through the darkness
Left broken and heartless
I'm calling out, can you hear my voice?
I'm gonna find you through all the noise
Ooh whoa
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
Shine your light as I reach for you

It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and
It runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa ooh oh oh oh yeah
And I've been told at least a thousand times
It's not worth the struggle, the hurt or the trouble
I keep running up to these front lights
No I won't surrender
I'll wait here forever
Standing here with my flag held high
Oh can't you see that it's worth the fight?
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and
It runs through my blood

All the way in the back, with a tree on my lap

One day he wants me, one day he wants me not
I don't do chances, cause time isn't what I got
If he's like that, I got a world tour that they need me at
I can't be sitting round here waiting for a man to tell me where the fuck my

Where Mike Will at

I'm flying high upon the bird, acrophobia

The city of angels is lonely tonight
Keep myself alight by candlelight
So she can love you like I do
Look me in the eyes and say it's true
I ask myself is this love at all
When I need you most, you let me fall
I'm always here at the side of your stage
Let you live your life
Pretend I'm okay (don't you know)
I'll be okay
I'll hold you close we'll stay forever
I, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand, how without you I can breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand and breathe in deep
I don't understand why you can't take me with you
You can pretend I don't exist,
But you will see my face every time you kiss
I hope you heard any walls fall down,
When you hear the sound that I'm okay (don't you know)
I'll be okay
You can't hold me down, I will stay forever
I, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand how without you I can breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand and breathe in deep
I don't understand why you can't take me with you
I watched you leave
I'm awake tonight
And I'm letting go for the last time
And through the tears I say goodbye
So breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe out.

I, I don't understand how without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here

Don't leave me here

A dark angel leads me to evil far beyond the grave
Declares me a phantom demon I don't know

Angel of Death is bloodied now

Tortured, scored that strike
Against the fear, it feeds the fire
Near me now, the demon's son

Erase my soul for all your sins can never be undone

Rise from Hell, it's fire burns everywhere

The thirteen have been slain
And are laid in shallow graves
We must destroy everything at the scene
And I know it must be killed
It's kill or be killed

Imprisoned in this world of darkness few have known
A monster lusting blood and the hunger grows
Out on the street, danger's real, the killer's still at large
A trail of death through sewers to the underground
I feel their fleeting life draw into my bones
Hear the heart that pounds, the blood that flows
Eternity I damn thee let me rot into the ground
As the empty veins collapse, cast them down
Living hell, whoa
Living hell, whoa

In this living hell
This town has worn thin everybody knows
Panic in the news and the terror grows
A tunnel full of filth escape into the night
Another hole to dwell in the underground

Wet waste of a girl
Theme for a jackal
Play you death-song
You probably listen
Stand idly by as they rape your children
Like you do now
In fact you showed them how
All thoughts are in place
All deeds are complete
Play, theme for a jackal play
Die sweet prince
Meat tastes like mince
The jackal's eaten enough for today
Die sweet prince
Meat tastes like shit
Enough to make that jackal spit
Spit jackal spit
Spit and choke on the lives you've taken
You can't shake them loose
All morsels are gone, they're too small
Accessible from a source so tall
Little sister all of my love
Bitch
Bitch, she is
Cut her from the inside out
Dead daughter in the river
Entrance gained by her liver
Play, theme for a jackal play
They play you a death-song
You probably listen
Stand idly by as they rape your children
Like you do now
In fact you showed them how
Play, theme for a jackal play
Play, theme for a jackal play

Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want I have
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment
While you lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever 'til the end of time
Oh.......

Hold on tight
Slow, slow-motion, baby
Deep inside
Slow, slow-motion, baby
I got hooked on you
I know it isn't true
Slow-motion, baby
Full of pride
Slow, slow-motion, baby
I have cried
Slow, slow-motion, baby
'Cause only love knows why
I know I want to die
Good love can never die
Inside my love's alive
Take it of him, my babe
They just don't need
Just when I needed you most
Oh babe, God only knows
I'm lost without your love in me, baby
<@#Modern_Talking_We_Are_Children_Of_The_World_03_16.txt#@>
Tell me now, how do you survive
In your lonely, lonely life?
Together we just can do it right
Together side by side
The more you give, the more you get
It is not a dream
You're getting more than it seems
Oh baby: we, we are the children of the world
Can't you see, every boy and every girl
We can do, we can do, we can do it again
If we have a helping hand
Baby we, we are the children of the world
Tell me now, there's a chance for love
Are you sure you have enough?
Together we just can do it right
If god is on your side
Cause we have passion, we have pain
It is not a dream
Together we will win
<@#Moody_Blues_Candle_Of_Life.txt#@>
Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely
Hidden deep inside
Of you only
It's there for you to see
Take a look and be
Burn slowly the candle of life
Something there outside
Says we're only
In the hands of time
Falling slowly
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go
Burn slowly the candle of life
So love everybody
And make them your friend
So love everybody
And make them your friend
Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely
Hidden deep inside
Of you only
It's there for you to see
Take a look and be
Burn slowly the candle of life
Something there outside
Says we're only
In the hands of time
Falling slowly
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go
Burn slowly the candle of life

Celtic Sonant
Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining star to you
Deep peace of the son of peace to you
One man stood firm guarding cups overflowing
Brimful of memories and yesterday's dreams
He could never explain his own silent thunder
The ocean just blows rough at this time of year
And the wheel keeps on turning
The wheel keeps on turning
The wheel keeps on turning
Turning around
Words left unsaid may have special meanings
Dust hidden pages fill the books left unread
One blank page left the poet crying
He failed to remember there's a price on his head
And the wheel keeps on turning
The wheel keeps on turning
The wheel keeps on turning
Turning around
Away we sail with all our flags flying
Too many changes can cause us to delay
Each star in the sky is there for a reason
Making it so bright for this time of day
And the wheel keeps on turning
The wheel keeps on turning
The wheel keeps on turning
This fool made it round
<@#Moody_Blues_Floating.txt#@>
Floating free as a bird
Sixty foot leaps it's so absurd
From up here you should see the view
Such a lot of space for me and you
Oh you'd like it
Gliding around get your feet off the ground
Oh you'd like it
Do as you please with so much ease
Now I know how it feels
To have wings on my heels
To take a stroll among the stars
Get a close look at planet Mars
Oh you'd like it
Gliding around get your feet off the ground
Oh you'd like it
Do as you please with so much ease
Bouncing about on the moon
Guess you'll all be up here soon
The candy stores they'll be brand new
And you'll buy a rock with the moon right through
Oh you'd like it
Gliding around get your feet off the ground
Oh you'd like it
Do as you please with so much ease
Come fly...
Come fly...
Come fly...
<@#Moody_Blues_For_My_Lady.txt#@>
My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
As life goes drifting by
Like a breeze she'll gently sigh
And slowly bow her head
Then you'll hear her softly cry.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Words that you say when we're alone
Though actions speak louder than words
But all I can say is I love you so
To drive away all my hurt
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Set sail before the sun
Feel the warmth that's just begun
Share each and every dream
They belong to everyone.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady

Another year over, a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,

Let's hope it's a good one without any fears.

When the breeze between us calls,
Love comes and lingers into our lives.
And the leaves begin to fall,
You point your finger at me.
I love you, yeah.
I love you.
In the sadness of your smile,
Love is an island way out to sea.
But it seems so long ago,
We have been ready trying to be free.
And it's up to you,
Why won't you say?
Make our lives turn out this way,
If they knew,
That we have got nothing to lose.
No reason to hide from what's true.
In the world of me and you,
All is forgotten when we're inside.
And the words that pass us by,
I am not listening to all of its lies.
And it's up to you,
Why won't you say?
Make our lives turn out this way.
If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose,
No reason to hide from what's true.
Then we have got nothing to lose.

About a light they say that shines so clear.

To the little man who sells you thrills along the pier.

He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground.
He flies so high, he swoops so low,
He knows exactly which way he's gonna go.

<@#Moody_Blues_Melancholy_Man.txt#@>
I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am,
All the world surrounds me, and my feet are on the ground.
I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can,
All the world astounds me and I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing, wait and see.
When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground,
And angry voices carry on the wind,
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known.
Another man is what you'll see,
Who looks like you and looks like me,
And yet somehow he will not feel the same,
His life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me,
'Cause he can't see what you and I can see.

I closed the door and I walked away
From the life I knew
On a night in June.
I took a chance and I lost control
Trying to find out why
On a night in July.
Why this hesitation?
I can feel that the night is slipping away.
want to drown in the ocean of your love,
want to dance in the moonlight
Looking for a miracle
I left the city on a wave of despair
To stand on my own
On an August night.
From the valley of broken hearts
Gonna make a new start in September.
Why this confusion?
I can feel that the night is slipping away.
want to walk from the shadows to the sun
Just to dream on a summer night,
Dream about a miracle
Looking for a miracle.
Never had the chance before
To turn the tide my way.
In the heat of the summer night
You took my breath away
Looking for a miracle.

Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
'cause I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Someday
Where is this place that we have found?
Nobody knows where we are bound
I long to hear, I need to see
'cause I've shed tears too many for me, me
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
'cause I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Someday
On the wind soaring free
Spread your wings, I'm beginning to see
Out of mind far from view
Beyond the reach of a nightmare come true
Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
'cause I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Someday, someway

The dark cloak of winter's war
Left a future still unsure
Sitting in a class
Of the future's past
We saw a list of dates
And we knew we would last
To see them all.
1984 was a year to fear
Hope was dead, a police state here
Halley's comet was to fly by
And we would see a shining in the nighht sky
Now 2001 is soon to come
And just as soon will have come and gone
Nothing changes.
Standing at the crossroads
Of what is, will be, and was
The obvious eludes us
Not because the zeroes line up
We should change our way of thought
More if we do not, the way ahead
Is dangerously fraught
And if we did the things we all know to be right
Left would be the childish fears
Of danger in the night.
We, each of us are fine
For we have all heard the word
But grouped together
Babel's triumph stampedes
The thoughtless herd
Nothing changes.
Nothing changes
And nothing stays the same
And life is still
A simple game.
<@#Moody_Blues_Running_Out_Of_Love.txt#@>
Some days you're gonna put me on hold,
Some days you're gonna put me
On a pedestal up high.
I don't know if it's me,
I don't know if it's you,
I don't know if it's both of us
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love.
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love.
And when it comes to taking my calls
There's something more between us
Than a telephone line.
I can't believe it's me,
I can't believe it's you,
I can't believe it's both of us
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love.
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
Can't think of how we lost our way.
Some days I feel
I'm getting very close to you.
Can't think of how the story ends,
Can't hear the words
I really want to hear from you.
We're running out of love.
Can't believe we're running out of love.
Can't believe we're running out of love
Some people like to put you on hold,
Some people like to put you
On a pedestal up high.
I don't know if it's me,
I don't know if it's you,
I don't know if it's both of us
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love.
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love.
Can't believe we're running out of love.
Can't believe we're running out of love.

The day we meet again
I'll be waiting there, I'll be waiting there for you
'cause the years have been so lonely, like a dog without a home
It's dangerous when you find out
You've been drinking on your own
The day we meet again
We will walk in peace through the garden, down the road
Where the mist of time is lifting
See it rise in the air, like the shadow I was chasing
When I looked, it wasn't there, oh, no
Just in case you're wondering
What was really on my mind
It wasn't what you took my love
It's what you left behind
Just in case you're wondering
Will it really be the same?
Will it really be the same?
You know we're only living for the day we meet again
So hold on and don't let go
Time, it heals, you know, I know
The day we meet again
I'll be waiting there, I'll be waiting there for you
'cause the years have been so lonely, like a dog without a home
It's dangerous when you find out
You've been drinking on your own
The day we meet again
We will walk in peace through the garden, down the road

See it rise in the air, like the shadow I was chasing

Night has begun for the sunset.
See it with your eyes,
Earth re-energized
By the sun's rays every day.
Take a look out there,
Planets everywhere.
When the sun goes down
And the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
Shadows on the ground
Never make a sound,
Fading away in the sunset.
Night has now become

From this great height.
I can feel the sun
Slipping out of sight
And the world still goes on
Through the night.

And all the things we've yet to do,
I... I start to realize
The world is such a lonely place.
Want to be with you
I remember all the heartaches we have known,
The angry nights when we were lonely.
The jealousy and pain,
Can we remain the same?
The world will have to hold its breath.
Want to be with you
I don't need a reason,
I don't need to understand.
I just want to be,
Want to be with you
Only want your love,
Only want you by my side,
Only want to be,
Want to be with you.
And when I look back down that road
I see the turnings that we both made,
The choice we had to make
The promises we break
Are nothing more than memories.
Want to be with you.
The jealousy and pain,
Can we remain the same?
The world will have to hold its breath.
Want to be with you.

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny spark lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two, no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon, somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born.

Now as we speed a little faster through the stars
To this new world of ours
With the seed that the garden requires
And as we drift a little further from the shore
Like the sea evermore
I'm the ivy that clings round your door
When you wake up
You will find
That you're not where you left yourself
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Now as we drift a little further down the stream
Was it all what it seemed
Was it true
Was it real
Or just a dream
When you wake up

That you're not where you left yourself

And they've broken you
And they've wasted all your money
And cast your shell aside
And when they've bought you
And they've sold you
And they've billed you for the pleasure
And they've made your parents cry

But now I just sit back and yawn
Because I am born, born, born
Look at me now
From difficult child to spectral hand to Claude Brasseur-oh-blah blah blah
At last I am born
Vulgarians know
I am finally born
I once thought that time accentuates despair
But now I don't actually care
Because I am born, born, born
Look at me now
From difficult child to spectral hand to Claude Brasseur-oh-blah blah blah
At last I am born
At last I am born
Leaving the one true free life born
I once thought I had numerous reasons to cry
And I did, but I don't anymore
Because I am born, born, born
At last I am born
At last I am born
It took me a long, long time
But now I am born
I once was a mess of guilt because of the flesh
It's remarkable what you can learn
Once you are born, born, born
Born, born, born

Oh, you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Your face is as mean
As your life has been
Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you
And I know a place
Where no one is likely to pass
Oh, you don't care if it's late
And you don't care if you're lost
And oh, you look so tired
(But tonight you presume too much)
Too much, too much
And if it's the last
Thing I ever do
I'm gonna get you
Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you
Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you
Oh...
Thank you.

Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They cannot
They cannot
They cannot do what you want them to do
Oh...
Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They do not
They do not
They do not see what you want them to
Oh...
Let the right one in
Let the old things fade
Put the tricks and schemes (for good) away
Ah...I will advise
Ah...Until my mouth dries
Ah...I will advise you to...
Ah...let the right one slip in
Slip in
Slip in
And when at last it does
I'd say you were within your rights to bite
The right one and say, "what kept you so long?"
"What kept you so long?"
Oh...

Always looking for attention
Always needs to be mentioned
Who does she
Think she should be?
The shrill cry through darkening air
Doesn't she know he's
Had such a busy day?
Tell her sshhh
Somebody tell her sshhh
Oh, no way, no way, there's no movement
Oh, oh, hooray
Slowest
It was only a test
But she swam too far
Against the tide
She deserves all she gets
The sky became marked with stars
As an out-stretched arm slowly
Disappears
Hooray
Oh hooray
No, oh, oh, woh, there's no movement
No, oh, hooray
Oh, hooray
Please don't worry
There'll be no fuss
She was nobody's nothing

The sea was calm
And another day passes like a dream
There's no no way

We love them
We mourn for them
Unlucky boys of red
I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them
To where mother nature makes their bed
We miss them
Every night we kiss them
Their faces fixed in our heads
I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them
To where mother nature makes their bed
They can't hurt you
Their style will never desert you
Because they're all safely dead
I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them

Sleep on and dream of love
Because it's the closest you will
Get to love
Poor twisted child
So ugly, so ugly
Poor twisted child
Oh hug me, oh hug me
One November
Spawned a monster
In the shape of this child
Who later cried :
But Jesus made me, so
Jesus save me from
Pity, sympathy
And people discussing me
A frame of useless limbs
What can make good
All the bad that's been done ?
And if the lights were out
Could you even bear
To kiss her full on the mouth
(or anywhere?)
Oh, poor twisted child
So ugly, so ugly
Poor twisted child
Oh hug me, oh hug me
One November
Spawned a monster
In the shape of this child
Who must remain
A hostage to kindness
And the wheels underneath her
A hostage to kindness
And the wheels underneath her
A symbol of where mad, mad lovers
Must pause and draw the line.
So sleep and dream of love
Because it's the closest
You will get to love
That November
Is a time
Which I must
Put out of my mind
Oh, one fine day
Let it be soon
She won't be rich or beautiful
But she'll be walking your streets
In the clothes that she went out
And chose for herself.

May this lovely letter
Reach its destination
If only
Question one is why do you
Pretend that you like me?

Seem like a bus conductor?
You do, oh Phoney you do
You sing a lovely song to a scale
And the words spell out my name
Oh Phoney
But then you kick me down below
Cause you know it won't show
How could you?
See how the outside
Contradicts what's inside

They bring me down, so
Give it a rest, won't you?
Give me a cigarette
God give me patience
Just no more conversation
Oh, give us a drink
And make it quick
Or else I'm gonna be sick
Sick all over

Now see how the colors blend
Our frank and open
Deep conversations
They get me nowhere
They just bring me down, so
Give it a rest, won't you?
Now will you just give over?
The world may be ending
But look, I'm only human
So, give us a drink
And make it quick
Or else I'm gonna be sick
All over
Your frankly vulgar

Now see how the two colors blend, my friend
Won't somebody help?
Won't somebody stop me
From thinking
From thinking all the time
About everything
Oh, somebody
From thinking all the time
So deeply, so bleakly?
So bleakly all the time
About everything? (Who I am, how I ever got here)
Somebody stop me
From thinking
From thinking all the time
So bleakly, so bleakly
So bleakly all the time

[Verse:]
I was bored in a Fjord
And I curse the heart and soul of Scandinavia
Let the people burn
Let their children cry and die in blind asylums
[Pre-Chorus:]
But then you came along
And you held out your hand
And I fell in love with you and Scandinavia
[Chorus:]
I kiss the soil
I eat the soil
I hug the soil
And I praise the God who made you
Stop me in your own time in Scandinavia
Unprotesting I'll die in Scandinavia
[Verse:]
Into a crime in Trondheim
I despise each syllable in Scandinavia
Let the people burn
Let their children cry and die in blind asylums
[Pre-Chorus:]
But then you came along
And you held out your hand
And I fell in love with you and Scandinavia

I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls
So far from where I'm determined to go
Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love
There is no way ...
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love
But you see, I've got no charm
Mmm...
Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold
Oh, this is very clear to you
And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day
And all of my life no-one gave me anything
No-one has ever given me anything
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye
You must be such a fool
To pass me by

Leaves me bereft

(Somehow expecting no less)
A court of justice
With no use for truth
Lawyer...liar
Lawyer...liar
You pleaded and squealed
And you think you've won
But sorrow will come
To you in the end
And as sure as my words are pure
I praise the day that brings you pain
Q.C.'s obsessed with sleaze
Frantic for fame
They're all on the game
They just use a different name
You lied
And you were believed
By a J.P. senile and vile
You pleaded and squealed
And you think you've won
But sorrow will come
To you in the end
And as sure as my words are pure
I praise the day that brings you pain
So don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
A man who slits throats
Has time on his hands
And I'm gonna get you
So don't close your eyes
Don't ever close your eyes
You think you've won
Oh no

Can you delve so low?
And when you're standing

To break my spirit
It won't work
Because there's nothing left to break

Finally has me
Oh you've done it now
You won't rest
Until the hearse that becomes me
Finally takes me
Oh you've done it now

Until my loving mouth
Is shut good and proper
Forever

Written lies, twisted lies
Well, they weren't lies
They weren't lies

I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love
Disappointment came to me and
Booted me and bruised and hurt me
That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
I was wasting my time
Looking for love
Someone must look at me
And see their sunlit dream
I was wasting my time
Praying for love
For a love that never comes from
Someone who does not exist and
That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
Let me live before I die
Not me, not I!
I was wasting my life
Always thinking about myself
Someone on the deathbed said
"There are other sorrows too"
I was driving my car
I crashed and broke my spine
So yes, there are things worse in life than
Never being someone's sweetie
That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
As for me I'm o.k.
For now anyway

And caress with your left hand
Everyone I know is sick to death of you
With a tear that's a mile wide
In the kite that you're flying
Everyone I know is sick to death of you
Ever since
You don't look the same
You're just not the same, no way
You say clever things and
You never used to
You don't catch what I'm saying
When you're deafened to advice
Everyone here is sick to the
Back teeth of you
With a tear that's a mile wide
In the kite that you're flying
Everyone here is sick to the

You say pleasant things and
There is no need to
Still, you fight with your right hand

Put me on the train to London Town
Take me anywhere, drop me anywhere

But I don't care!

(By land, by sea)
Farewell
To this lands cheerless marches
Hemmed in like a boar between arches
Her very Lowness with her head in a sling
I'm truly sorry
But it sounds like a wonderful thing
I say Charles, don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily mail
Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?
And so,
I checked all
The registered historical facts
And I was shocked into shame to discover
How I'm the 18th pale descendent
Of some old queen or other
Has the world changed, or have I changed?
Has the world changed, or have I changed?
Some 9-year old tough peddles drugs
(I swear to God I swear
I never even knew what drugs were)
And so, I broke into the Palace
With a sponge and a rusty spanner
She said:
"Eh, I know you
And you cannot sing"
I said:
"that's nothing
You should hear me play piano"
We can go for a walk
Where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
But when you're tied
To your Mother's apron
No one talks about castration
We can go for a walk
Where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
Like love and law and poverty
These are the things that kill me
We can go for a walk
Where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
But the rain that flattens my hair
These are the things that kill me
(All their lies about make up
And long hair they're still there)
Passed the Pub who saps your body
And the church
Who'll snatch your money
The Queen is dead, boys
And it's so lonely on a limb
Pass the pub that wrecks your body
And the church
All they want is your money
The Queen is dead, boys
And it's so lonely on a limb
Life is very long, when you're lonely
Life is very long, when you're lonely
Life is very long, when you're lonely
Life is very long, when you're lonely

The first time I saw the Descendants, they were the fastest band I'd ever seen
No one in the crowd really cared for them, we were waiting for the Alley Cats
to play
After a couple months I heard Kabuki Girl, on Rodney on the Roq late Sunday
night
That was enough, for me I hopped the bus, to Licorice Pizza and bought my all
time favorite record
The next time I went to the Whiskey, it was DOA with Millions of Dead Cops
The latter band played faster than I could believe
But the songs sounded the same and kinda sucked
'Cept John Wayne was a Nazi, and Joey Shithead was a drunk
Then John Macias beat some hippie to a pulp, 'cause having long hair was a
mistake
The third time I went to the hospital, I needed 13 stitches in my head
I managed to catch about 6 rounds of Ill Repute, then some suicidal threw me

<@#NOFX_Bath_Of_Least_Resistance.txt#@>
Too many words on the tip of my tongue and
I can never figure out, when to speak when to
Shout when to shut up when to knock myself out
I need a brainwash, grey matter bath
I need all the clutter thrown in the trash
I need a brainwash 'cause I'm a loon
So could you please throw my head in a tub I
Could really use a cerebral scrub wash
Away what I know, it's an over-rated frontal lobe
Expensive thrills, sexual perversity, are always filling
My mind, mixed with guilt 'cause bombs over
Dresden are kinda bringin' me down
I need a brainwash, grey matter bath
I need all the clutter thrown in the trash
I need a brainwash 'cause I'm a loon
So could you please throw my head in a tub I
Could really use a cerebral scrub wash
Away what I know, it's an over-rated frontal lobe
Cause I'm a psycho babble brain, a real live loon
A mixed up maniac, I'm certifiable, so punt
Me in a room right next to Nickleson and give
Me Thorazine cause all I want to do is sing
Traditional songs but I like to sing in
Minor technologies not making sense so could
You please put my head in a tub I could
Really use a cerebral scrub wash away
What I know it's an over rated frontal lobe

How money polluted my mind
Dough, what our lives are lived for
Rae, just a crazy Aussie
Me, the generation forges on
Fo, dder for corporations
Sew, wing our lives together
LA, such a nice place to get shot
But don't forget the T it
Follows liber in the Constitution
Following the part about pursuit
Of happiness the bi product
Of colonial precious metal
Mine extracts which
Brings us back
To dough
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Today I saw a kid
Torture a cat
Too much leisure
Teenage Norman Rockwell
Paints it black!
How, did the chain get started
Mo, re is what everyone wants
Ney, dy is what none of us are
Co, operation died last night
Rup, tured bleeding heart forsight
Me, I'm just a loo
So don't expect the best you won't be disappointed when you take
A bite and watch the worm crawl back inside. listen to the
Fairy tales of million dollar happiness,
Los Angelistic lifestyle drinking
Chardonnay over a lobster salad brunch
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
The pursuit of million dollar happiness
Happiness was killed we watched it bleed, some say it died from hate
Some say from bleeding heart disease

You know it when it's over
Door are closing feel the sober staring at you
You know you better take one more good look
One more round then it's bottles to the ground
Smashing of the glass what a super sonic sound
You gotta pull the plug when it's time to die
Whoa whoa whoa, bottles to the ground
There's a suitcase on the side walk
There's some records in a milk crate
She'll be staying
You'll be throwing whiskey over one lip
One more round then it's bottles to the ground
Smashing of the glass a perfect imperfect sound
You gotta pay the piper when the rats are gone
Whoa whoa whoa, bottles to the ground
One more round then it's bottles to the ground
One more round then it's bottles to the ground

Now like a viral infection
The GOP developed a vaccine
Get your shot from your local Christian reading room
Make sure your clothes are blue and neoprene
Windows closed,
Televisions on,
Talk show radio
Where everyone agrees
The plague is here,
But exposure is avoidable
Turn up mind, relinquish control
Question!
Citizens questioning leader
Don't want to set a precedent
We're going ask all the questions
Like what kind of patriot are you?
When did you check out the Trotsky?
What is your major malfunction?!
Traitor!
To the lord and creator
Fucking communist faggot
An infidel living among us
Procreating liberal hippie
Disgrace yourself and your country
Why don't you love it or leave it?!

Yeah, I met Slash, I've got a rose tattoo
I bet I know way more people than you
I just love this town,
My girlfriend weighs 84 pounds
Met her at the Cat house where I get in for free
She pays the rent while I watch T.V.
When we go out tonight,
Gotta get my hair just right
Tight black pants a blue suede shoes
I'll get my picture in Rock City News
Gotta get those flyers out
Might meet a talent scout
And he will talk contracts with me
My fame and fortune and MTV

Five feet under, he's got one foot in the grave
Would you look at him I think he's lost it
I don't think that he can be saved
He's got a down payment on his tombstone
He's not alone his whole life has been out
On a limb. Just look at him, watch
Him get smashed and race bikes so fast
Just don't laugh, what will it say on his epitaph
Here he lies may he rest in peace
Hung on to life by the skin of his teeth
Pushing his luck through the bottle he drinks
He's got a date with his maker and he
Doesn't want to be late and make no mistake
He's a good friend so why might his life
Have to end, my friend I don't want to
See you dead
I don't want to see him dead!
I don't want to see him dead!
I don't want to see him dead!

There's no admission
No need to give
To be forgiven
Live your life with decision
Live your life not religion

Hangin' out with Lars down on 6th street he knew that I was in trouble
I was feeling much like the devil
There was something burnin' deep inside of me
Ran into three Puerto Ricans these girls took us to the fun house
Where we played a lonely pinball machine
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of them seem to go my way
And New York City well I wish I was on a highway
Back to Olympia
I'm having a hard time understanding, it gets all too demanding
She's all gone and I'm stranded
Something burning deep inside of me
All I know it's 4'o'clock and she ain't never showed up
And I watched a thousand people go home from work, yeah
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of them seem to go my way
And New York City well I wish I was on a highway
Back to Olympia
How many times will it take me before I go crazy?
Before I lose everything?
Something burning deep inside of me
Ran into three Puerto Ricans those girls took us to the fun house
I don't wanna be alone again
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of them seem to go my way
And New York City well I wish I was on a highway

A lil' party in the sun, but ya just can't sit there smoking and drinking

You got a new jive. All your friends are getting weird. Ahhh!
It goes, "you ain't a shakin till the shit shot.
Shoot it up.
No one jammin' til the gin juice jigger jets.
They say it ain't a party til the party enema, the party enema.
You get a funnel tube, pour in a 40 oz.
Pull down your clothes, touch your toes.
Get a hose, hold your nose.
It's a party hat. Forget the beer bong.
Forget the nitrous shots.
It goes "you ain't a shakin' 'til the shit shot.
Shoot it up.

Gigin alone at the bottom of the hill
Our protagonist named Bill
Sets his sights on an anchor steam pint
All he needs is thirteen quarters
Congregated in his hat
A crow, a scavenger type
California redemption provides him with his rent
Room and board inside a fifth of comfort
As the wind penetrates his bones
His mind keeps focused
Tidal waves of sound catapulted
From his horn wail like lovers
The coins don't drop consistent as does the mercury
His meter slows realizing a zenith
He's reached perfection
No one did see him die
<@#NOFX_Seeing_Double_At_The_Triple_Rock.txt#@>
Let's go!
It's three o'clock at the Triple Rock
Another round of watching batty talk
It's where you wanna get snowed in when you can
Snowing outside it's ten below
Is it day or night we don't care or know
What we know is we don't want to be anywhere but here
Please don't make us leave
When in Minnesota and you've got a drinking quota
I'm seeing double at the triple rock
We're still here watching batty talk
Then undress and get out the top 10
The One question still remains
How much more oran(??) can we take
I'll let you know when the medication wears off
I'm a religious drunk
And this is where I pray
We're a church of alcoholics
Can't bring up the congregation
Give us air to breathe through carbonation
We are at the good church and your feltching on bar stools
We're praying that the tabs will keep the holy water flowing
He keeps a communion and a long night of confessions
Coming home after noon seems to raise a lot of questions
When in Minnesota and you've got a drinking quota

All over the world
All over the world
Love is the thing
It's the one thing, you'll see
All that it takes
Is a he and a she
All over the world
All over the world
Love was and love is
And always will be
All over the world
(Whether you're in
Maine or California
Doesn't matter, I know
You can be in Tennessee or
You can be in old Mexico)
(It can happen
Summer, spring or fall or
When the winter winds blow
Love is a wonderful thing)
Lovers can be found
In foggy London town
In Rome or Peru
Even in Damascus
Lovers never ask us
What they should do
You don't have to park
In Paris after dark
To know that it's true
Love is a wonderful thing
All over the world
All over the world
Love was and love is
And always will be
All over the world
All over the world

To keep a rendezvous

You'd look at me
And I would see the smile you're smiling now

Or in New York
In Gay Paree or even London Town
No more will I go all around the world
For I have found my world in you
It might have been in County Down
Or in New York
<@#Nat_King_Cole_But_Beautiful.txt#@>
Love is funny, or it's sad,
Or it's quiet, or it's mad.
It's a good thing, or it's bad,
But beautiful
Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall, you fall,
And I'm thinking,
I wouldn't mind at all.
Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play.
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful
And I'm thinking, if you were mine,
I'd never let you go.
And that would be but beautiful,
I know.
And I'm thinking, if you were mine,
I'd never let you go.
And that would be but beautiful,

You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part.

And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row.

Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show.
Once you said his love must wait it's turn
You wanted fame instead.

And love is gone ballerina gone
So on with your career you can't afford a backward glance.

(Grateful to you)
<@#Nat_King_Cole_Never_Let_Me_Go.txt#@>
Never let me go
Love me much too much
If you let me go
Life will lose its touch
What would I be without you?
There's no place for me without you
Never let me go
I'd be so lost if you went away
There'd be a thousand hours in a day without you
I know
Because of one caress my world was overturned
at the very start
All my bridges burned by my flaming heart
You'd never leave me would you?
You couldn't hurt me could you?
Never let me go
Never let me go
<@#Nat_King_Cole_Non_Dimenticar.txt#@>
Non dimenticar means
Don't forget you are my darling
Don't forget to be
All you mean to me
Non dimenticar, my love
Is like a star, my darling
Shining bright and clear
Just because you're here
Please do not forget
That our lips have met
And I've held you tight, dear
Was it dreams ago
My heart felt this glow?
Or only just tonight, dear?
Non dimenticar
Although you travel far, my darling
It's my heart you own,
So I'll wait alone
Non dimenticar
Se ci separ, se ci allontan
L'ala del destino
Non ne ho colpa, no,
E mi sentiro sempre a te vicino
Non dimenticar
Although you travel far, my darling
It's my heart you own,
So I'll wait alone
Non dimenticar
<@#Nat_King_Cole_Nothing_Goes_Up_(Without_Coming_Down).txt#@>
I can't stop you
So go your way
If that makes you happy
I've nothing to say
But nothing goes up
No, nothing goes up
Without coming down
I'm hurting now
Cause you're leaving
But I know that someday
I won't be grieving
Cause nothing goes up
No, nothing goes up
Without coming down
So, darling, please think
Before you leap
Remember what you sow
So shall you reap
Please be careful
In all you do
What's happening to me
Could happen to you
Cause nothing goes up
No, nothing goes up
Without coming right on down
<@#Nat_King_Cole_One_Has_My_Name,_The_Other_Has_My_Heart.txt#@>
One has my name, the other has my heart
With one, I'll remain, that's how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes, the other's eyes are blue
To one, I am tied, to the other, I am true
One has my love, the other, only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free?
So I'll go on livin' my life, just the same
While one has my heart, the other has my name
One has my love, the other, only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free?
If I could live over, my life, I would change
The one who has my heart would also have my name
<@#Nat_King_Cole_Pick_Yourself_Up.txt#@>
Pick yourself up,
Take a deep breath,
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.
Nothing's impossible, I have found
For when my chin is on the ground.
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off
And start all over again.
Don't lose your confidence
If you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.
Work like a soul inspired
Until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son.
Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again
They picked themselves up
Dust themselves off
And start'd all over again.
Work like a soul inspired
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son.
Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath
Pick yourself up
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.
<@#Nat_King_Cole_Sweet_Georgia_Brown.txt#@>
He just got here yesterday,
Things are hot here now they say,
There's a new gal in town.
Gals are jealous, there's no doubt.
All the guys just rave about
Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown.
And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown,
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!).
It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town.
Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down.
Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met.
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown.
All you gals will get the blues,
All you pals will surely lose.
And, there's but one excuse.
Now I've told you who she was,
And I've told you what she does,
Still, give this gal her dues.
This pretty maiden's prayer is answered anywhere
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown,
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!).
All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down.
Fellas, won'tcha tip your hats oh boy, ain't she the cats?
Who's that mister, ain't her sister, it's Sweet Georgia Brown.
<@#Natalie_Cole_Beautiful_Dreamer.txt#@>
Beautiful dreamer, you are like magic to me
'Cause you share all your love
And your life and your love is so fine in my life
It's just what I've been looking for
Searching for and you care
Beautiful dreamer, not an illusion to me
You know I can tell by the way that you've taken my hand
In a moment of sadness your gladness is there to surround me
Astound me and you care
I've seen all the people (waiting at the station)
Waiting at the station
(No imagination) no imagination
They're too busy doing nothing
Making all kinds of arrangements
(Nothing's really) but nothing's really changing them
(Changing them)
They're (they're) still asking why (why) their well is dry
I tried to tell them that love is the answer
They need a beautiful dreamer
If I could I'd share you with them
Oh, but you know it took so very long to find what I've needed
And my greatest obsession is doing my best
Just to keep you and love you 'cause you care
You're one in a million
(Always giving into) always giving into
(Me whenever I begin to) me whenever I begin to act
A little like I'm crazy
Still (still you never faulter) you never faulter
(Never try to alter) or never try to alter my integrity
How I could I not be proud to have your wisdom
You're such a beautiful dreamer (beautiful dreamer)
You are like magic to me
'Cause you share all your love
And your life (and your life)
And your love is so fine
(So fine in my life) in my life
And you know its just what I've been searching for
Looking for and you care
(Beautiful) beautiful dreamer (dreamer)
<@#Natalie_Cole_Calling_You.txt#@>
Desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Somewhere better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe' just around the bend
I am calling you, I know you hear me
I am calling you
A hot dry wind blowing right through me
Oh, the baby's crying and I can't sleep
But we both know that a change is coming
Oh, coming closer, such sweet release
And I am calling you, can you hear me
I am calling you
Oooh, yeah
Desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Somewhere better than where you've been
But we both know that a change is coming
Coming closer around the bend
And I am calling you, don't you hear me
I am calling you
I, honey, I'm calling, I'm calling, I'm calling you
I know you hear me
I am calling you
Mmm, hmm
<@#Natalie_Cole_Darling,_Je_Vous_Aime_Beaucoup.txt#@>
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
Je ne sais pas what to do
You know you've completely
Stolen my heart
Morning, noon and night-time too
Toujours, wondering what to do
That's the way I've felt
Right from the start
Ah, Cherie!
My love for you is tr?s, tr?s fort
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more
But I hope that you compree
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do

I'd tell you so much more

<@#Natalie_Cole_Evry_Time_We_Say_Goodbye.txt#@>
Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know.
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to
minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,

Everytime we say goodbye.
<@#Natalie_Cole_Love_Is_Here_To_Stay.txt#@>
It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Goin' a long, long way
In time
the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
they're only made of clay
But our love is here
Oh Our love is here
but our love is here to stay.
<@#Natalie_Cole_Lucy_In_The_Sky_With_Diamonds.txt#@>
Picture yourself in boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalde skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone. Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
<@#Natalie_Cole_So_Many_Stars.txt#@>
The dark is filled with dreams
So many dreams which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which dream of all the dreams
When there's a dream for every star
And there are oh so many stars
So many stars
The wind is filled with songs
So many songs which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are oh so many stars, so many stars
Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh
So many stars, so many stars
Yes, the wind is filled with songs, so many songs
Which one is mine, one must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are, oh, so many stars, so many stars
Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh, so many stars
So many stars, (so many stars) oh, so many stars
(So many stars) oh, there are so many stars
(So many stars) lots and lots of stars, oh so many (so many)
Oh, so many (stars), many
So many, many (so many) stars (stars)...
<@#Natalie_Cole_Take_A_Look.txt#@>
Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself
But don't you look too close, cause you just might see the person
That you hate the most, lord, what's happening to this human race
I can't even see one friendly face,
Brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies,
Take a look at your children
Born innocent, every boy and every girl,
Denying themselves a real chance
To build a better world,
Oh! dear lord what's happening to your precious dream
I think it's washing away on a bloody, bloody stream,
Yes, take a look at your children
Before it's too late, and tell them nobody,
Nobody wins when the prize is hate
Oh, no, no, no it's not too late,
We gotta tell all of our children
That love, love, love is the way, yeah, yeah
<@#Natalie_Cole_The_Urge_To_Merge.txt#@>
Written by Pam Reswick, Steve Werfel
Though I think I really know you
And you think you know me
And we're as close at two people
Could ever hope to be
Still I can't escape the feeling
That no matter what I do
I'll never understand what it feels like to be you
I get the urge to know you better
To make our spirits one
I want to see us be together
As close as we can come
I get the urge to merge
I get the urge to merge with you
I get the urge to merge
I get the urge to merge with you
Have you ever wanted something
You just had to possess
And it turned into obsession
And wouldn't let you rest
There are times I can't help wishing
I could melt right into you
Hear every word you're thinking
Feel everything you do
I feel trapped inside my body
And there's nothing I can do
Want to leap across the wall
That's keeping me from you
To break what can't be broken
To say what can't be spoken
If only for a moment
To touch your soul
I get the urge to know you better
<@#Natalie_Cole_Until_The_Real_Thing_Comes_Along.txt#@>
I'd wait for you
I'd slave for you
I'd be a beggar
Or a knave for you
If that isn't love
It will have to do
Until the real thing
Comes along
I'd gladly move
The earth for you
To prove my love, dear
And its worth for you
I that isn't love
It will have to do
Until the real thing
Comes along
With all the words
Dear, at my command
I just can't make
You understand
I'll always love you
Darling
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?
I'd lie for you
I'd sigh for you
I'd tear the stars
Down
From the sky for you
If that isn't love
It will have to do
Until the real thing
Comes along
With all the words
Dear, at my command
I just can't make
You understand
I'll always
Love you baby
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?
I'd lie for you
I'd cry for you
I'd lay my body down
And die tor you
If that isn't love
It will have to do
Until the real thing
Comes along
<@#Natalie_Cole_Walkin_My_Baby_Back_Home.txt#@>
(Natalie)
Gee, It's great after being out late,
Walking my baby back home,
Arm in arm over meadow and farm,
Walking my baby back home.
(Nat)
We go along harmonizing a song,
Or I'm reciting a poem,
Owls go by and they give me the eye,
Walking my baby back home
(Natalie)
We stop for awhile, he gives me a smile,
I snuggle my head to his chest
We started to pet and that's when I get
My powder all over his vest!
(Nat)
After I kinda straighten my tie,
She has to borrow my comb,
One kiss then we continue again,
Walking my baby back home.
(Nat)
She's 'fraid of the dark, so I have to park
Outside of her door till it's light
(Natalie)
Now I say if he tries to kiss me I'll cry
(Nat)
I'd try her tears all through the night
(Both)
Hand in hand to a barbque stand,
(Nat)
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
(Both)
Walking my baby,
Talking my baby,
Loving my baby,
I don't mean maybe,
Walking my baby back home
(Natalie)
Nighty-night!

I hear you say that you can't go on
'Cause you had it all and watched it fall away
You feel betrayed 'cause everything's gone wrong
Can't find the strength to hope for a better day
We may not understand the reasons

<@#Natalie_Grant_Hurricane.txt#@>
You're spinning out of control again
Your life feels like a sinking ship
You're wondering how it came to this
Is it too late?
Is it too far?
For Him to reach you
And come to where you are
Step out on the edge
Don't be afraid of it
And when you feel the rain
Call His name
He'll find you in the hurricane
You're in the wreckage underneath
Your hope is buried somewhere deep
You're wondering how long it will keep?
It's never too late
Never too far
For you to reach out
And take a hold of love
Step out on the edge
Don't be afraid of it
And when you feel the rain
Call His name
He'll find you in the hurricane
Don't back down from the fight
He'll shelter you tonight
Just hold on for the change
Call His name
He'll find you in the hurricane
There's a place, there's a place you can run
When you fall, and it's all come undone
You'll be safe in the raging storm
So just let go
'Cause you are held in His arms
Step out on the edge
Don't be afraid of it
And when you feel the rain
Call His name
He'll find you in the hurricane
Oh oh
And when you feel the rain
Call His name
He'll find you in a hurricane
<@#Natalie_Grant_I_Am_Not_Alone.txt#@>
You're here
In my heart
You're the light
That guides me through the dark
You walk beside me
The night seems cold
Each time I fall
Your arms are there to hold
[Chorus]
You walk beside me
Giving strength I've never known
I am not alone
You walk beside me
You're here
In my mind
I talk to you
And all my fears unwind
I know I'm loved for who I am
You make me wanna be the best I can
[Chorus]
And I rely on your patience
When I face the unknown
And because of you
I am not alone
In the sun, in the rain
Through the good times and the pain
I reach out for your hand
I know that you understand
[Chorus]
<@#Natalie_Grant_Keep_On_Shining.txt#@>
He will be there
Through the hurricane
Through the pouring rain
He will be there
Through the longest night
Everything's gonna be alright
The storm is gonna end
And the sun's gonna rise again
[Chorus]
Keep on shining
Let Love light up the darkest sky
And you'll be flying
Rise above all the hardest times
So hold on (Hold on)
Be strong (Be strong)
Come on (Come on, come on)
Keep on shining
Nothing can stop
The way He feels
'Cause His Love's so real
No mountain top
Will ever be too high
'Cause with Jesus by your side
There's nothing you can't do
You're gonna make it through

You know in your soul
You know in your heart
He will always be your only
Guiding star

See the faces in the crowd
Everyone is reaching out
Searching for something that's real
See the souls behind the eyse
Left with no way to disguise
The yearning inside
[Chorus]
He loves without limits
Sees us every minute
Wherever we are walking
He is near
His spirit is relentless
His hope for us is endless
I know, I know
He loves without limits
There's no mountain that's too steep
There's no ocean that's too deep
Nothing can keep him from us
He's the lover of our souls
He's the one that makes us whole
Oh, don't you know
If we could only see how far
God will reach to touch our hearts
[Chorus]
I know, I know nothing can separate us
I know, I know God's love is limitless

<@#Natalie_Grant_Make_A_Way.txt#@>
She was only 17
Wild at heart and following her dreams
Believing she was pretty
Got a ticket to the city
Where she'd find her place on the cover of a magazine
It was only a chat room, but it would lead the way
To the door of a man where she'd throw it all away
He said they'd take it slow
But little did she know
She'd be all used up by the end of the day
But she was strong
And she would survive
Ambition would be her drive
And she said...
I'll make a way
I'll do whatever it takes
Even though it won't be easy
I have a plan and though I may not understand
Someday, I'll make a way
Where did she go wrong, how did she get here?
Livin' hard and looking older than her years
Miss Little Big Town
Trying to hold a job down
Doing what she could to choke her fears
But she was strong
And she would survive
A spark of hope had kept her dream alive
And she cried...
I'll make a way
I'll do whatever it takes
Even though it won't be easy
I have a plan and though I may not understand
Someday, I'll make a way
Someday, I'll make a way
Walking down the road
In the city where she'd come with so much hope
Her vision had long died
Along with all her pride
And she found herself at the end of her rope
But she heard angels through the door
Of a church she'd passed a million times before
There was a song of heaven ringing
And soon she found herself believing
That out there maybe there was something more
So she bowed her head to pray
And said, Jesus, please make a way
And she heard Him say...
I'll make a way
I'll do whatever it takes
Even though it won't be easy
I have a plan and though you may not understand
Today, I'll make a way
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Today He'll make a way
<@#Natalie_Grant_Whenever_You_Need_Somebody.txt#@>
Heey, ooh, ooh
I know that life seems hard, cruel and unkind
A lonesome journey with questions in your mind
I'll hold your weary hand as you walk down the road
Remember you're never alone, no
[Chorus:]
Whenever you need somebody
Whenever you want someone
To reach out and touch you
With a love that is strong
Whenever you need somebody
Whenever you want a friend
To chase away the clouds and help the sun shine again
I will be that friend
If I could have one wish this I would pray
A heavenly miracle, your pain to drift away
So I'll keep on prayin' until that day comes
Remember that I'll be the one, the one
[Chorus:]
I'll give you strength in times you're feeling weak
I'll give you hope and help you to believe
Yeah
[Chorus:]
I'm gonna be a friend
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna be that friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Right by your side
I'm gonna be that friend
Ooh, oooh

She's been waiting in the cold
Waiting for her moment
Killing time
Sitting in the ballroom
Hoping he will notice
Heavenly
She put a spell on me
Heavenly
Where's she gone?
Amelia
She's been caught up in the twilight
Always on the outside
Slowly drowning in the water
Drowning from the tears
Those green eyes
She's a pretty flower
Waiting in wind
Heavenly
She put a spell on me
Heavenly
Where's she gone?
So don't disappear
Shine
So don't disappear
Shine
Don't know how sometimes
Don't know shine, shine
See your Amelia
There's nothing to fear
Don't disappear
Shine
See your Amelia
There's nothing to fear
Don't disappear
Shine
There's noting to fear
Don't disappear

There's nothing to fear
So don't disappear
Shine (x2)

Here it comes again
Cannot out run my desire
Cover my decent
And throw the
Beauty on the fire
Drawn towards the edge
Do I assume I could fly
Every secret shared
Why do I drink
The feelings dry
Don't go too far
Limitation scars
Tonight
Could I be lost forever
To drown
My soul in
Sensory
Pleasure
Sensory
Pleasure
Here it comes again
You raise the bar even higher
I cannot catch my breath
So throw the
Beauty on the fire
Don't push too hard
Limitaion scars

Fallen three times in a row
Waking up with vertigo
But you were there to break my fall
Before I had to face it all
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
'Cause I wouldn't want to move on
Without you
I won't be lost
Next time you see me
My pain will be gone
Baby believe me I been trying
But my heart keeps on breaking
I won't be lost
Smiling like a billionaire
Hoping you were unaware
The walls in side were caving in
My world had come apart again
Don't let me it show
Don't let them know
That I wouldn't be very strong
Without you
I won't be lost
Next time you see me
My pain will be gone
Baby believe me I been trying
But my heart keeps on breaking
I won't be lost
Don't you give up on me
'Cause I wouldn't be very strong
And I wouldn't want to move on
Without you
I won't be lost
Next time you see me
My pain will be gone
Baby believe me
I been trying but my heart keeps on breaking
I won't be lost
I won't be lost

I ask you to hold me,but you don't want to hold me-It don't work like

Oh leave me alone(Oh leave me alone)

I'll make it on my own
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone
You like me to stroke you
Careful I don't choke you,did you read my mind?
You say don't be blue
Is that the best you can do?
I've lost my patience now
(CHORUS)
<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_My_God.txt#@>
I'm Feelin' kind of strange
I'm feelin' kind of jammed up and out of the way
I know it's all deranged
And now that's gonna give 'til I'm out of this place
Look at the horizon
Want it to the one where is flawless
I'm gonna take your time
I wanna wonder if you float while the sea is rising
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know the way you make me feel
Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go
Here we go again
My god
Your face is so beautiful
My god
I see you so clear
If I could stay with you
Oh my god
I'll give my soul
There's nothing else my god
Don't you leave me here
You're looking for a flower
You're looking for a flower but you find a tree
I'm looking for a river
And suddenly an ocean's washing over me
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know the way you make me feel
Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go
Here we go again
My god
Your face is so beautiful
My god
I see you so clear
If I could stay with you
Oh my god
I'll give my soul
There's nothing else my god
I wanted to know you
Wanted to see you
Wanted to feel you
Should've believed you
Wanted to hold you
Wanted to show you
Wanted to be you, be you
My god
Face is so beautiful
My god
I see you so clear
If I could stay with you
Oh my god
I'll give my soul
There's nothing else my god
Don't you leave me here
<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_My_Own_Movie.txt#@>
Dreaming again of the summer time, when the world was mine
Drifting again everything you do, makes me fall for you
Trying to keep it together without you around
You got me up here and now I can't seem to get down
Here it comes, taking over me
Close my eyes and I'm finally wondering will you
Here it comes, my own movie
In your arm where I wanna be wondering will you
Turn back the clock, what I didn't say on the beach that day
I was afraid that you didn't feel everything I feel
Trying to keep it together without you around
You got me up here and now I can't seem to get down
Here it comes, taking over me
Close my eyes and I'm finally wondering will you
Here it comes, my own movie
In your arm where I wanna be wondering will you
Didn't wanna be 'cause of recently
You seem to suffer from the edges
Didn't wanna care if someone was there
How did you manage to open me up again?
Here it comes, taking over me
Close my eyes and I'm finally wondering will you
Here it comes, my own movie
In your arm where I wanna be wondering will you
Here it comes, taking over me
Close my eyes and I'm finally wondering will you
Here it comes, my own movie
In your arm where I wanna be wondering will you
<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_On_The_Run.txt#@>
I'm looking for a way
To calm these voices in my head
With all this mad confusion
I don't want to leave this bed
I'm on the run
I'm on the run again
And I don't know which way is left
And there's no point in not being right
So I'll hold my breath 'till I see the light
I'm on the run
I'm on the run again
From me
I'm drowning in these feelings
And it's scaring me to death
Staring at the ceiling
So many things I could have said
I'm on the run
I'm on the run again
And I don't know which way is left
And there's no point in not being right
So I'll hold my breath 'till the morning
'Til I see the light
So, so many times
So many signs
You're out there waiting
I should have known you're out there waiting ooh
And I don't know which way is left
And there's no point in not being right
So I'll hold my breath 'till the morning
'Til I see the light
I'm on the run
I'm on the run again
From me
<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_Satellite.txt#@>
Do you lie awake in the morning
Trying to find a reason to call me
Cause honey all that I've been doing
Is thinking about your smile
But none of this is necessary with me baby
You see baby
'Cause I like to keep it all simple
'Cause you are my Satellite
So I'm trying to keep you in sight
But with all this space
Can we keep it alive
Keep it alive
So I'm asking you baby
Are you coming down tonight
There's something in the air tonight
That feels right
But you're keeping me guessing
and I'm finding it hard to catch your eye
So move a little closer
It's alright
I know what you're thinking
You've been circling me for a while
<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_Satisfied.txt#@>
In summertime I have no fury
No chance of sinking sailing ships
If time stood still
I'd take aim and fire for you
For every ocean there must be shore
On which I'll stand with restless toes
When everything I look for in myself
Is in you
I feel a little more than empty
But I want to feel more than full
It's a pity all I have
Is just enough to keep you satisfied
This knot could come undone
No matter how we try to keep it tied
Inside this bottle there's a message
You may be drinking way too much
If I had the strength to take the weight off you
I would
I feel a little more than empty
But I want to feel more than full
It's a pity all I have
Is just enough to keep you satisfied
This knot could come undone
No matter how we try to keep it tied
Something higher keeps me here
Something that keeps us together
You keep me dry despite the weather
I don't mean to feel this way for you
But I do and I feel satisfied
It's a pity all I have
Is just enough to keep you satisfied
This knot could come undone
No matter how we try to keep it tied
It's a pity all I have
Is just enough to keep you satisfied
This knot could come undone
No matter how we try to keep it tied
It's a pity all I have
Is just enough to keep you satisfied
This knot could come undone
No matter how we try to keep it tied
<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_Scars.txt#@>
Is this part, is this part of the process, of the process
Cannot find another way round, other way round, round the pain
'Cause you left me here in the middle of it
Said I'm working out I promise
I don't know how we got here in the first place
I climb the walls, you hit the bars
I've ever been is you run for miles
You got your brand new friend and I got a broken heart
Doesn't matter who we are
Everyone has their scars
Everyone has their scars
There's a place, there's a place that I'm heading, that I'm heading
Need to know are you coming, are you coming there with me
'Cause you're heading in the wrong direction
Just as I need your protection
Maybe I should let you find your own way
I climb the walls, you hit the bars
I've ever been is you run for miles
You got your brand new friend and I got a broken heart
Doesn't matter who we are
Everyone has their scars
Everyone has their scars
What could be so bad
It's taken you so far
Until you don't know who you are
I climb the walls, you hit the bars
I've ever been is you run for miles
You got your brand new friend and I got a broken heart
Doesn't matter who we are
Everyone has their scars
I climb the walls, you hit the bars
I've ever been is you run for miles
You got your brand new friend and I got a broken heart
Doesn't matter who we are
Everyone has their scars
Everyone has their scars

<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_Shikaiya.txt#@>
Five years old
A life that made me shy
I'm telling you
Shikaiya made me feel like I could fly
There she was so crazy
But she was on fire
The smile behind the door of every answer to my questions
You made it seem like everything was possible
And that's where you stood out from everybody else
Shikaiya
That's what your about and you should never lose yourself
Shikaiya
Down the phone years and miles apart
We try to find the magic we used to bounce from heart to heart
But you don't seem to believe in anything today
I wonder if your dreams got smashed
Upon the rocks of that old bay
You made me feel like everything was beautiful
And that's where you stood out from everybody else
Shikaiya
And that's what your about and you should never lose yourself
Shikaiya
Shikaiya nothing
Mmm Shikaiya
Shikaiya
Shikaiya
That's what your about and you should never lose yourself

I walk a mile with a smile
And I don't know
I don't care where I am
But I know it's alright
Jump the tracks
Can't get back
I don't know anyone around here
But I'm safe this time
'cause when you
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me
Stupid things, like you do
Yes, I
Have to, have to, have to
Change the rules
I can't lose
[Chorus]
'Cause I shiver
I just break up
When I'm near you
It all gets out of hand
Yes I shiver
I get bent up
There's no way that
I know you'll understand
We talk and talk
'round it all
Who'd have thought
We'd end up here
But I'm feeling fine
In a rush
Never trust
You'll be there
If I'd only stop and take my time
'Cause with you
I'm running, running, running
Somewhere I can't get to
Yes I have to have to have to
Change the rules
I'm with you
[Chorus]
What if you get off at the next stop
Would you just wave as I'm drifting off
If I never saw you again
Could I (could i)
Keep all (all)
Of this (of this)
Inside
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_Standing_There.txt#@>
STANDING THERE
Have you ever been strong
Have you ever known when it's time to walk away
Just walk away, yeah
Well I couldnt wait to see you
I was listening by the phone there
When you called
When you called and said what you said
All this time
All this time with the fighting and screaming
It's breaking me it's taken it's toll on me
And its like where standing there
Hand in hand
Just waiting for the ground to give way
Waiting for the right words to say
So take your chance
And don't hold back
Cause time is all we've got around here
Time for me to wake up and see you standing there
You're beautiful just standing there
Have you ever crossed the line
Cause there's nothing I wouldn't do for love
For this kind of love yeah
I'm trying to reach out
Trying to make you make you understand it
Understand the things that I'd like between you and me cause
All this time
All this time with the fighting and screaming
It's breaking me it's taken it's toll on me
And its like where standing there
Hand in hand
Just waiting for the ground to give way
Waiting for the right words to say
So take your chance
And don't hold back
Cause time is all we've got around here
Time for me to wake up and see you standing there
You're beautiful just standing there
<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_Starting_Today.txt#@>
Starting today
I'm not gonna waste another moment
Even if I had had the chance before
I would have blown it
But you took me by surprise
And you caught me just in time
Everyday
You give me reason not to walk away
I'll stop believing that the world's gone crazy
And if it is you'll save me
Starting Today
I'm not gonna worry about tomorrow
I'll wash away
All this fear that's left me feeling hollow
'Cause you make me want to try
And you caught me just in time
Everyday
You give me reason not to walk away
I've stopped believing
I should run like crazy
'Cause if I did you'd chase me anyway
I should of told you so many times
But I shied away
Somehow you always seem to
Be there making it easy
And you give me reason to stay everyday
Ooh everyday, everyday
I've stopped believing
I should run like crazy
'Cause if I did you'd chase me anyway
You give me reason not to walk away
I've stopped believing
That the world's gone crazy
And if it is you'll save me
Starting today
I'm not gonna waste another moment
<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_Torn.txt#@>
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like
He was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know, don't seem to care
What your heart is for
No I don't know him anymore
There's nothin' where we used to lie
Conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine
I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care
I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch
I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what is goin' on
Nothin's right
I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
<@#Natalie_Imbruglia_Twenty.txt#@>
Twenty cities, it passed me by
Finding treasures I don't wanna find
But I have stolen and I've cross the line
And I want you, I want you
Twenty seconds and you could be gone
You shine brighter than the morning sun
You think it's over but it'd just begun
And I want you, I want you
This sky is grey, it's full of gold
Can feel your heart and feel your soul
I'll drink it up and take it slow
I don't need anything else
Tell me where I'm heading
Tell me I could be this sane
Somewhere I've forgotten
I die a little more for you
When everything is broken
There's piece I'll never lose
I keep finding reasons to
Die a little more for you
Twenty questions ringing in my head
The moment's over but it's never dead
What did I say and what does all this meant
'Cause I want you, I want you
Fire light as it hit you right
Heads are turned as you walk on by
Maybe we belong in another time
I still want you, I want you
This sky is grey, it's full of gold
Can feel your heart and feel your soul
I drink it up and take it slow
I don't need anything else
Tell me where I'm heading
Tell me I could be this sane
Somewhere I've forgotten
I die a little more for you
When everything is broken
There's piece I'll never lose
I keep finding reasons to
Die a little more for you
Die a little more for you
How many things can you wish for?
'Cause just wishing is all I do
When it comes to you
How many lives can you live through?
How many times can you keep movin', keep movin'
Tell me where I'm heading
Tell me I could be this sane
Somewhere I've forgotten
I die a little more for you
When everything is broken
There's piece I'll never lose
I keep finding reasons to
Die a little more for you
Die a little more for you
Die a little more for you

A round of applause, you got what you want
Take a good look at what you give up
Because I'm telling you
A heart can't be unbroken, oh, oh
And can you remember how I kiss you
Recall the sweet taste in your mouth
'Cause baby, the memory is all you get now
And I'm moving, moving, moving on
All that you want
I hope you get all that you want
I hope you get all that you want
'Cause I didn't
I hope you get all that you want
I hope you get all that you want
I hope you get all that you want
'Cause I didn't
Does every morning make you happy?
And tell me do you laugh yourself to sleep?
I hope you find it's easy to forget me, oh, oh
I hope you don't feel anything when you see me
I wonder if you're out there having fun
I hope you get all that you really wanted
'Cause I'm moving, moving, moving on
Don't you see the light has changed
And nothing looks the same
Just shadows on the ground
And if you listen carefully you'll hear the sound
All that you want
I hope you get all that you want
I hope you get all that you want
'Cause I didn't
I hope you get all that you want
I hope you get all that you want
I hope you get all that you want
'Cause I didn't
I hope you get all that you want
I hope you get all that you want
I hope you get all that you want

The sky has fallen on my yesterday
I watch my moon and blue sun (?) slip away
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why i don't know
And i try to pull myself togehter
I don't want to go home (?)
The little girl has lost her way today
The tables turning on the game she plays
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
Every time I catch myself, I (slip away) fall . . .

Take your hand
And place it in my pocket
Flick your eyes back in their sockets
Put those thoughts away
Sometimes they're much to loud
I'll take a breath
And cradle your sweet head
Should've stayed at home in bed
Put that face away
I'm melting for you
I know, I get cold
'cause I can't leave things well alone
Understand I'm accident prone
Me, I get free
Every night the moon is mine
But when the morning comes
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there
I dreamt about another girl in bed with you
You just laughed and smiled
Denied the proof
We're fine till I think of the problem
I wish it made sense
Like a joke that no one gets
It's a life without regret
I want it to feel that way, forever and ever
I know, I get cold
'cause I can't leave things well alone
Understand I'm accident prone
Me, I get free
Every night the moon is mine
But when the morning comes
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there with you
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there with you
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing, I was there with you

Lord I lost my way
I couldn't breathe her name
You know she's after my life
Lately I'm stickin' to drinkin'
And I'm headed down desolation road
Habit -a- growin'
Set it up just right
I do away my life
On a turn of the dice
Lately I'm runnin' and hidin'
Slidin' down desolation road

No one to turn to
Losing my best friend
My name is just bad news
And my account's in the red
I'm in need of understandin'

You have your heartaches to climb
Everyday, I just hope and pray
I just hope that you still have,
That you still have your dreams.
Come down and tell me that it's better

Gonna paint this town
We're gonna rub their noses
Hey mama -want to know
Why I'm never lonely?
want to know
Why I'm never sad?
When the night comes out
And the sandman rides
We're gonna sing and shout
I'm gonna take you places
Hey mamma then I'll show you
Why you'll never be lonely
Then you'll know
How you'll never be sad
On your marks with the sun still pouring in
Hold steady 'till we're ready for the evening
Gettin' set, for a ride all around the town
Then you take me where you want to go
On your mark with the sun still pouring in
Hold steady 'till we're ready for the evening
Gettin' set, take a ride all around the town
Then you tell me where you want to go
When the light comes down
We're gonna button up tight
And lose this daytime frown
We're gonna smile all night long
Hey mamma and I know
That you'll never be lonely
want to show you
That you'll never be sad
When the light comes down
We're gonna cuddle up close
We're gonna paint this town
We're gonna rub their noses

Yes when the light comes down
Baby when the light comes down
Yes when the light comes down

<@#Nazareth_Love_Hurts.txt#@>
Love hurts,
Love scars,
Love wounds and marks
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain
Love hurts,
Ooo-oo love hurts
I'm young,
I know,
But even so
I know a thing or two, I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts,
Ooo-oo love hurts
Some fools think
Of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made too many blue
Love hurts,
Ooo-oo love hurts
I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made too many blue
Love hurts,
Ooo-oo love hurts
Ooo-oo, love hurts, Ooo-oo

One more promise soaked in rye whiskey
One more word that bites the dust on some bar room floor
I'm the man who travels 'round doing
Hey, we don't talk about that
I'll get the favor done for you
No one will ever know
Then I'll run to Mexico
Cold as stone my eyes fall on another
Just another name that's runnin' through my mind
At your request I'll do whatever you require
You give me the light, I supply the fire
Then I'll burn for Mexico
Pretty senorita, she lies to me
Smiles sweetly in the morning when I wake up cold sweating
'Cause some day I'll be in the sights
One more call when someone finds a target
Only guarded whispers never mentions names
Money on the line will be just fine
You'll never be involved
And even if a clue shows you'll never know
'Cause I'll be in Mexico
<@#Nazareth_One_From_The_Heart.txt#@>
I've seen that girl before, I've seen the boys come and go
And still shes on her own
I've seen those tears before, I've seen her heart break
She knows what it means to be alone
There must be another way to spend her life
While she is waiting
She knows the dangers there, these love affairs
Run hot, run cold and always take their toll
Its another lonely night inside those empty rooms
She knows will never be a home
There must be etc.
For one from the heart
Shes on her knees
One from the heart, that's all she needs
One from the heart, she can believe
I've seen that girl before, I've seen boys that come and go
And still shes on her own
I hope somewhere, somehow, ssomeday
Shell find that special one before her heart turns cold.

The phone call was wrong
The i.b.m.'s have already gone
Talkin's too late
The future has ended now
Can't change our fate
So sorry now
But that don't change a thing anyhow
Let the games begin
The dealer laid hands out that no one can win
What made us this way
Something I'm doing or something I say
But could it be a fact
That I never thought I'd get caught in the act
And I, I don't know why I still keep
Hangin' around when I know that it's time
Popped the silo
Pushed the button
It's the big one this time
Doctor strange love, we're all in your movie now
You get no change love
Your bill is too high
The threat's on it's way
The package from hell that you ordered today
Pray to your sign
Your wish has been granted this time
And I, I don't know why I still keep
Hangin' around when I know that it's time
Popped the silo
Pushed the button
It's the big one this time.

Burnin' up with the flames gettin' higher
Rip it up, rip it up good
Rip it up like you know you really should
We never have to say a thing to one another

Rip it up, rip it up good

Get you on the rebound, catch why'when you fall
Singin' "Long Tall Sally", gonna rip it up, rip it up
Sweet is drippin' from the ceiling an' the walls

I tried to hang on for as long as I could
But now I can see that it just ain't no good
Our love it has wasted
Right down to the core
Whatever we had
We don't have anymore
You've got to get off a road to nowhere
You've got to get off a road to nowhere
Well I tried and I tried to make things work out right
But I guess we're two people who can't help but fight
Your eyes they are open
And oh so are mine
We both need our freedom
Don't you think it's about time
I'm trying to get off this road to nowhere
I'm trying to get off this road to nowhere
Thank you for the good times we've had in the past
But we both know enough to know good times don't last
Baby you're just no good for me
And I'm no good for you
Let's not waste our time talkin'
We both know what to do
We've got to get off this road to nowhere
It's time to get off this road to nowhere
You've got to get off this road to nowhere
We've got to get off this road to nowhere

Old man, don't tell me what you did in your day
I got problems of my own on the way
Look you now, where the locusts abound
Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground
Vibrations, are burning my hands
Slowly walking, stalking through these crazy lands
Defending the need, with a silent scream
For another time, for another dream
Jack boots, hi-jacks
Ray guns and spray guns
We got them all for free
Look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me
Send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now
No cheap-o, clean-o, is gonna wash away my blues
I need a good friend that's gonna give me some clues
The one on the cross, he almost had it boss
He was really spreading the news
Ah, but the destruct mutt, he's back in business
He ain't about to lose
Jackboots, hi-jacks
Ray guns and spray guns
We got them all for free
Look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me
It could be there lookin' at me
Send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now
And the price-for life
Is one more run on that chicken wire
As the hero returns
With eyes of fire
To another man to man, so damn you man!
Old man don't tell me what you did in your day
I got problems of my own on the way
So look you now, where the locusts abound
Prat they don't feed on your sacred ground.

Savin' my disgrace
Like a tick-a time bomb inside a'me
Been to the mount, seen the other side
Money back, number one, guaranteed
Sole-satisfied
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all

By: Chuck Berry as done by Nazareth
Nineteeen years old and as sweet as she can be
Dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock-roll melody
She's the daughter of a well-respected man
Who taught her how to judge and understand
Soon she became a rock-roll music fan
Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller
Papa don't have to scold her, says he can't hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller
Should've seen her eyes when the band began to play
Famous singers sang and barred away
Stars performed, she screamed and yelled "Hooray!"
Ten thousand eyes were watching her leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screaming out "More! More!"
About fifteen hundred waitin' outside the door
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Papa don't have to scold her, says he can't hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller

Goodbye romance can't take a chance
On love's painful games
I've called too many times on a sweetheart tree
Lady lost now I count the cost
Nothing seems to change
I've called too many times on the sweetheart tree
Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin' set me free
I need some time to change my mind
Before I try again
I've been too many times to the sweetheart tree
Some go some then lay in tow
But love just don't come free
I've called too many names on the sweetheart tree
Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin' set me free
Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin' set me free
Goodbye romance can't take a chance
On love's painful games
I've called too many names on the sweetheart tree

Nothin' to learn
Everythin' to lose

When I'm single it don't really matter who it is
Or how many I decide to kick it with
'Long as she can understand how I do this

But when I settle down
Find a woman to look for
Still may be a couple cuties at my door
Baby we can't get down like we did before
And get mad when I tell them
I can't be like that no more
Girl, you know I got a girl
I just don't get down like that
I don't get down like that
Baby, you fine
Baby you's a dime
But I just don't get down like

Understand, baby girl, that I'm a totally new man
I don't live to crush as many as I can
No more, I found a girl that changed my whole game plan
She the one (she the one) only one that I'm wanting
And I know girl I know that you really want it bad
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted
All the things we used to do I kinda miss it
It ain't nothing you can't get as good as this is

In the ghetto
Things don't always turn out the way
You would expect them to
That's how it goes
Its real life
Check it
She was a brick house bangin
Ill shoe game and
No regular cat could get that
She only wanted two things
A puppy and a man that
Wanted more than to just hit that
Well out on the block
What did she spot a
Pretty thug walkin a baby rot wiler
Pow
They caught eyes
It was love at first sight
Crazy how somethin that seems so right can go wroongg
See it didn't take too long
For her to see just what this dude was on
He was a good dude true and deep
But he liked to make his money runnin the street
So she hit him with its either the block or me
And the beautiful thing suddenly ugly
But that's how it goes
See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story
And in the ghetto
It doesn't always have a happy ending
But that's how it goes
See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story
And in the ghetto
It doesn't always have a happy ending
But that's how it goes
So she stay maintain and
She don't wana be alone
But every time he leave the house
She be worried bout
If hes even gona come back home
It seems no matter what she say
He must make that paper just
Gotta get his hustle on
But it hurts him to his heart cus his love is strong
And though hes tryna make things right for her
All she see's is wrong
All he can do is keep on
Cus she don't understand just what hes on
You see he loved her true and deep
But he had to make his paper in these streets
So she hit him with its either the block or me
And the beautiful thing suddenly ugly
But that's how it goes
See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story
And in the ghetto
It doesn't always have a happy ending
But that's how it goes
See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story
And in the ghetto
It doesn't always have a happy ending

Just wanna know how I could buy
Some of your time
She said sorry your not my type

Just tryin' to cool wit u cool wit u
Sure that's your lifestyle ain't nuthin' wrong
To be honest girl it kinda turns me on
I ain't even tryna to gash up a happy crib
But you can call me when you need that alternative
Or someone to hold a camera with a steady hand
Don't you even trip
Girl I'm your man
Or if you decide to give the male race a second chance
She said sorry but I'm taken

What I wouldn't give to wrestle over the remote control
What I wouldn't give to hit you harder than you thought I could with the
pillow
And we stop just for a second because you got a feather in your eye (eye)
I get it out and you kiss me I smile and then we get back to our pillow fight
Now that sounds like fun
If the sky begins to fall we wouldn't even notice
Really wouldn't bother us at all if the world came to an end
Nothing matters but us two, when I'm laying around with you
When I'm laying around with you
What I wouldn't give to
Oh what I wouldn't give to cook you dinner from the microwave
And what I wouldn't give to burn the popcorn and hear you tell me, "baby
that's okay"
Baby that's okay
Then you leave to go to the store and it's almost too much for me
Though I know it'll only be a minute
Then you come back through the door with a bag of all the foods that we're not
supposed to eat
Now tonight that can't be beat
If the sky begins to fall we wouldn't even notice
Really wouldn't bother us at all if the world came to an end
Nothing matters but us two, when I'm laying around with you
When I'm laying around with you
What I wouldn't give to
I want to be in your arms where no harm could ever come my way
I want to be where you are oh near or far every night and day oh
If the sky begins to fall we wouldn't even notice (said I wouldn't notice)
Really wouldn't bother us at all if the world came to an end (wouldn't bother

Nothing matters but us two, when I'm laying around with you
When I'm laying around with you
When I'm laying around with you
When I'm laying around with you
If the sky begins to fall we wouldn't even notice (wouldn't notice)
Really wouldn't bother us at all if the world came to an end (world came to an
end)
Nothing matters but us two, when I'm laying around with you
Laying around with you
When I'm laying around with you
Laying around with you
Laying around with you
What I wouldn't give to
When I'm laying around with you

Confident, there's a difference. And to deny our impulses is to deny the very

Nothing to get into, nothing to bein' bout
Just grab a little bite, quite a little night
By no means looking for Miss Right
But hello, good evening
Clearly she was out with her girls alone (That I could tell)
Beautiful, barely any make-up on (So natural)
The kind that make you wanna put the games away
Think about the future, but first I'll say
Hello, good evening
Oh Miss Right, Miss Right
What are you doing here?
Oh Miss Right, wasn't expecting you tonight
Oh Miss Right, Miss Right
How about we disappear?
Said if you got no plans, baby if you got time
Come and be the rest of my life
Oh, Miss Right, yeah
But ain't it amazing?
Spend forever looking, all the time wasting
Soon as I throw my hands up and say I quit
Turn the corner and there my future sits
Hello, good evening
Clearly she was out with her girls alone (That I could tell)
Beautiful barely any make-up on (So natural)
The kind that make you wanna put the games away
Think about the future, but first I'll say
Hello, good evening
Oh Miss Right, Miss Right
What are you doing today? (What are you doin' baby)
Wasn't expecting you tonight
Oh Miss Right, Miss Right
How about we disappear?
Said if you got no plans, baby if you got time
Come and be the rest of my life
Please forgive if I'm forward , hmm
But this chance won't pass me by
'Cause, see, I'm looking at forever
And it's the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life
Ooh Miss Right
Miss Right, what are you doing here? (So what are you doin' here baby)
Wasn't expecting you tonight (I wasn't expecting you tonight, ohh)
Miss Right, how about we disappear?
Said if you got no plans, baby if you got time
Come and be the rest of my life (The rest my life)
Miss Right, what are you doing here? (The rest of my life)
Wasn't expecting you tonight
Miss Right, how about we disappear?
Said if you got no plans, baby if you got time
Come and be the rest of my life
Said if you got no plans, baby if you got time
Come and be the rest of my life

(Verse)
She be playin me music
That I don't really like
But it makes her feel sexy
So it's alright
(Verse)
She be wantin to go to restaurants
Where they serve shit I would never eat
But she say it's an aphrodisiac
So I tried a lil bit yea
(Pre-Chorus 1)
We don't got a lot in common
We don't like a lot of the same things
More than most of the time
I find myself compromising
(Pre-Chorus 2)
She's up when I'm down
She's on when I'm off
But when it come to love
We're cut from the same freaky piece of cloth
(Chorus)
So we're so different when it come to everything
But when it come to love we're the same
Same same
So we're so different when it come to everything
But when it come to love we're the same
Same same
When it come to love we're the same, yea
So when it come to love we're the same, yea
So when it come to love
(Verse)
I don't like the furniture
But I let her go and pick it out
(Let her go and pick it out)
Really I don't mind the love seat
Cus that's where she like to get down
(Get down)
(Verse)
So we can either watch a movie
She gon talk through the whole thing
(Whole thing)
But all during the previews
She give me that good
(Think about it)
(Pre-Chorus 1)
We don't got a lot in common
We don't like a lot of the same things
More than most of the time
I find myself compromising
(Pre-Chorus 2)
She's up when I'm down
She's on when I'm off
But when it come to love
We're cut from the same freaky piece of cloth
(Chorus)
So we're so different when it come to everything
But when it come to love we're the same
Same same
So we're so different when it come to everything
But when it come to love we're the same
Same same
When it come to love we're the same, yea
So when it come to love we're the same, yea
(Bridge)
I like it how she like it
She likes it fast, I take it slow
I have a guess, she wanna know
And that's the way it go
I like the hot, she like the low
But when it come to sexual
Baby we're so compatible
(Chorus x2)
We're so different when it come to everything
But when it come to love we're the same
Same same
So we're so different when it come to everything
But when it come to love we're the same
Same same
When it come to love we're the same, yea
So when it come to love we're the same, yea

You know from the moment she turned around
She knows how to back it up and drop it down
She knows, she wants all the fellas looking at her
Cause they know as soon as our song come, it's a wrap
Does she love the attention?
Does she get it when she moves?

She fresh up out the shower

And he ain't picking up his phone
And soon the other night she's all alone
She wished she had someone to put it on
But she don't so she gon' let me put her rivers on
She rubbing lotion on her body
Pretending that her hands are mine
Touching herself how she want me to touch her
I'm not a star in her mind I'm her lover
She close her eyes
She can't stop it no
She hypnotised
My music playing in the background
She's almost there yeah yeah yeah
She turns it up
She lets my voice get her there
She use me as part of her masturbation
She hear my song and she can't stop her legs from shaking
Woah woah ah ah yeah yeah
She pictures herself naked
On her knees I'm behind her
Ooh and she can barely take it
Specially when I go deep
So deep
For a minute she swear I'm there and she can feel me
Feel me
She opens up her eyes
Gotta start to get rubbing lotion on her body
Touching herself how she want me to touch her
I'm not a star in her mind I'm her lover
She close her eyes
She can't stop it no
She hypnotised

Sa pag bukas ng radyo
Ikaw agad ang nasa isip ko
Mga kantang tungkol sa pag-ibig
Sinasaktan ako
At ang lagay ng puso ko sumisigaw
Dahil ang 'sang taong katulad mo
Sa bawat oras na nakikinig ako
Pilit kong patayin isarado
Ang tugtuging tungkol
Sa mga nagmamahaln at kaso
Iba ang nangyari sa 'ting dalawa
Naghiwalay dahil sa araw gabi
Lagi nalang tayong nag-aaway
At sa ngayon nagbago na ako
Mas gugustuhin ko pang mag isa
Kaysa masaktan pang muli
Ito na ang huli tapos na
Ang pagmamahalan dati kong minimithi
Ngayon ko na tinatabi
If you're so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
You said you love me oh why aren't you here
I'm so sick of your love songs so sad and slow
But I just can't turn off the radio
Simula palang ikaw na
Ang tanging isip at
Panaginip kong nasira
Di maka tiis nung marinig
Ang himig ng radyong
Hinatid sa'tin ng dati nating ala-ala
Noong tayo pa noon ang magkasama at maligaya
Pero ngayon wala at nasira sa pagdating ng tadhana
Ikaw parin ang ibig makasama
Makatabi walang problemang nadarama
Pero wala na tapos na
Kaya ngayon patuloy ang maglakbay
Nang nag-iisa sa mga awitin to'y ako'y sawa na ngayon
At isip sa sarili at puro sisi
Kung ba't pa sya
Ang binohusan ng abala
Silbihan ng habang buhay
Sya'y maging maligaya
If you're so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
You said you love me oh why aren't you here
I'm so sick of your love songs so sad and slow
But I just can't turn off the radio
Yeah oh at kung bakit 'di magtanong sa langit
Pagkalabit ko ang lapis pilit kong
Isulat ang tunay na damdamin
Nadarama kong hindi ka na talaga sa akin
Ikaw, tayong dalawa punong puno ng akit
Pagsisisi sa isip sa panaginip hatid pa rin
Ay puno ng sakit at palagi nalang luha
Ang binigay sa akin
'di ko na kayang kayanin isipin
Litrato natin gusto ko nang punitin
At sa'kin dahil ikaw lang ang tunay kong minamahal
Ang akin 'di gaya ng dati ang saya ang ligaya natin
Ngayon dinadala na ng hangin wala na
Tapos na paalam na paalam na sa bituin
If you're so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
You said you love me oh why aren't you here
I'm so sick of your love songs so sad and slow
But I just can't turn off the radio
Ooh (Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)
Hey don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
I'm letting go
Turning off the radio
If you're so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
You said you love me oh why aren't you here
I'm so sick of your love songs so sad and slow
But I just can't turn off the radio
If you're so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
You said you love me oh why aren't you here
I'm so sick of your love songs so sad and slow
But I just can't turn off the radio (why I can't turn off the radio)
And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishin' you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
Why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio? )
Why can't I turn off the radio?
<@#Neil_Diamond_And_I_Love_Her.txt#@>
I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her to
And I love her
She gave my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright is the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
I love her
I love her
And I love her
<@#Neil_Diamond_As_Time_Goes_By.txt#@>
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you,"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
<@#Neil_Diamond_Baby,_Can_I_Hold_You.txt#@>
Sorry, is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily, like sorry
Like sorry
Forgive me, is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily, like forgive me
Forgive me
But you can say, baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Baby, if I told you the right words,
At the right time, you'd be mine
I love you, is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily, like I love you
I love you
But you can say, baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Baby, if I told you the right words
At the right time, you'd be mine
Yeah you'd be mine babe
You'd be mine
But you can say, baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Baby, if I told you the right words
Yeah, at the right time, you'd be mine
You'd be mine
Yeah, you'd be mine
<@#Neil_Diamond_Dont_Go_Away_Mad.txt#@>
I guess you think
That if you snap your fingers
I'll forget
I'm supposed to jump for joy
'Cause you say you regret
Being so bad
Don't go away mad
Now just go away
Remember how you told me
You had some new interest
And with out a fuss
You dropped me
As if I was just yesterday's fad
Don't go away mad
Now just go away
You talked to me
One day feel like coal
You once used me
While you played the field
I played the fool
So forgive me if I doubt you
When you say you need me
I'll get over thinkin' bout you
And of everything we might have had
Don't go away mad
Now please go away
Before I ask you to stay
<@#Neil_Diamond_Dont_Turn_Around.txt#@>
If you want to leave
I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go, darlin'
Maybe, it's better that way
I'm gonna be strong, gonna be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just walk out that door and see if I care
Go on and go now
But don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know
I won't miss your arms around me
Holding me tight, so tight, real tight
And if you ever think about me
Just know that I'll be all right
I'm gonna be strong, gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
I know I'll survive and I'll make it through
And I'll even learn to live without you
But don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know
I wish I could cry out loud
That I love you baby
I wish I could say to you
Don't go, don't go, don't go
But don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know

Love you so much, can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl, and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of puttin' me down
And I never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man
I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well, I finally found what I've been looking for
But if they get the chance, they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby, I've done all I could
It's up to you

Please come take my hand

And that ain't no place for me.
Been there one time, been there two times,
Been there three times more than I care to be,
But we're gonna make it through, Gitchy Goomy.
Life is good, life is fine, life is warm,
Life is kind, can you see it?
Love is great, love is right,
Keeps you warm late at night when you need it.

Now don't be runnin' away.

Been there three times more than I care to say,

Seen it one time, seen it two times,
Seen it three times, Lord 'n' it's plain to see.

There was a flood and many poor men were killed.
And that is why our house is built on the top of a hill.
The plains are like a friend, why can't we live on them?
And if a flood should come, why can't we run?
I am the lion, bellowing out in the night.
We had a cow, I left it alone to graze.
And walked to the stream and when I returned, it was stolen away.
But now the cow is gone and we don't need a farm.
We have not one thing they
Would steal away.
I am the lion bellowing out at the night.
I am the lion bellowing out at the night.
I am... the lion.
<@#Neil_Diamond_I_Seek_The_Night.txt#@>
I seek the night
And I rest my head
On my weary bed
And I think about you
And time's on my mind
I've been thinking about
What I'm doing without
With a boy like you
What's a girl to do
Yesterday was more or less
Just like the day before
And time don't matter
When there's nobody else around
Yesterday is dead and gone
And all I believe is in now
I believe and how my time has come
Why sleep at all
Just to rest my head
On a lonely bed
And to dream alone
Time's on my mind
And the last I heard
He was like a bird
Don't know where he flew
And what's a girl to do
What's a girl to do
What's a girl to do
<@#Neil_Diamond_I_Walk_A_Crooked_Street.txt#@>
Where I am, what I am
You're the only reason
Held me up, filled my cup,
Had the faith in me and love....
Owe it all to you, knowin' we're in love
There's nothing I can't do
And I'm not afraid to lose my way
'Cause if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
I've been through bad times
And some times worse
And till I met you 'happy' was just a word
But that all changed the day you came
Now if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
[Guitar instrumental]
And I'm not afraid to lose my way
'Cause if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
If I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
<@#Neil_Diamond_Im_Afraid.txt#@>
I'm afraid, so afraid
That you'll go
And I'll know
It's the end
The end of all the love I ever knew
And the kisses tender as
The morning dew
I'm afraid
So afraid
Destiny did foresee lonely days
I'll never understand
The reason why
Why a love as warm as ours
Should ever die
All I want is you
Standing close to me
You can make me walk the line
If you love me to
Listen to my plea
Darlin' won't you say that you're mine
I'm afraid, so afraid
That you'll leave me to grieve
Every night
And every tear will tell
The price I paid
I played the game of love
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid
So afraid
So afraid
<@#Neil_Diamond_Just_Another_Guy.txt#@>
Just another guy that you see around
No more than a face
Somewhere in the crowd
Then when you pass
I 'm feeling sorrow
'Cause you're so near
Yet, you're so far away
I know that I'm a fool for wanting
What I can't have
If I say I loved you you'd only laugh
So each night I'd dream that you're mine
And wake each morning only to find
That I'm just another guy
I know in my heart that
I don't stand a chance
But I just can't end this one way romance
Maybe someday
I'll be there by your side
But if I remain just another guy
You'll be here in my heart forever
And I know that darlin' you'll never be
Just another girl to me

But what I feel is what I am

Won't be easy, but I'll learn to bend

On a sea without a trail

Look out, here comes tomorrow
That's when I'll have to choose
How I wish I could borrow
Someone else's shoes
Mary, oh what a sweet girl
Lips like strawberry pie
Sandra, the long hair and pig tails
Can't make up my mind
I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I loved only one
Look out here comes tomorrow
Oh how I wish
Tomorrow would never come
Told them both that I loved them
Said it, and it was true
But I can't have both of them
Don't know what to do
I see all kinds of sorrow
Wish I loved only one
Look out here comes tomorrow
Oh how I wish
Tomorrow would never come

When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it from
The moment that we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong
I'd go hungry,
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down
The avenue
There's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging
On the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change
Are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet
I could make you happy,
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth
For you
To make you feel my love

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing
New king's born today,
And man will live for evermore,
Because of Christmas Day
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear the child
Not a single room was in sight
By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born
Hark, now hear the angels sing
New king's born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
While shepherds
Watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard the choir from heaven sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day

It coulda been me but it was you
Who went and bit off a little bit more than he could chew
You said that you had it made, but you been had
The woman no good, no how, thinkin' maybe the blood is bad
Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
The woman was born to lie
Makes promises she can't keep
With the wink on an eye
Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
Brother, you've been deceived
It's bound to change you mind
About all you believe
From where I stand, it looks mighty strange
How you let a woman like that treat you like small change
I don't understand what you're lookin' to find
The only thing bad blood do is mess up a good man's mind
Hear me talkin' now
Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
The bitch is in her smile
The lie is on her lips
Such an evil child
Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
Is takin' you for a ride
The only thing good about bad blood
Is lettin' it slide
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron

I've told you that we're getting married,
Now don't you try changing my mind.
We've got a good thing together,
Who cares if the world is unkind.
I'm a man and you're a woman,
That's all that matters to me.
Baby the times are a'changing
And I want the whole world to see.
You're my ebony angel,
Who cares what people say.
My sweet ebony angel
We're going a long long way.
I want your love for a lifetime,
I won't let you keep us apart.
Don't give me those black and white reasons
'cause I only see with my heart.
I'm a man and you're a woman,
That's what the world's all about.
Baby the times are a'changing,
Let me erase any doubt.
You're my ebony angel,
Who cares what people say.
My sweet ebony angel
We're going a long long way.

I'll show you the stars in heaven,
We'll look at the moon above.
Though I'm a silly dreamer, you better stick with me.
The best things in life are free,
And I'm gonna be your good time man.
I'll be your good time man.
No diamonds from Cartier,
No shopping spree every day.
I'll be your special lover, I know you'll understand,
I'm doing the best I can
And you'll be the one in wonderland.
I'll be your good time man.
Lee, I love you so, so much you'll never, never know,
I have a special master plan,
I'll be your good time man.
No pad on Fifth Avenue,
No carriage ride just for two,
No table at Twenty One,
We're gonna have ourselves some fun.
No presents from Tiffany,
Oh baby, that's not for me.
No Rainbow Room at night, we'll just do it right,
Doing it naturally
And I do it good, you know I can,
I'll be your good time man.
Lee, I love you so, so much you'll never, never, never know,
I have a special master plan,
I'll be your good time man.
No fancy things from Chanel,
I think that you just look swell.
You are my special girl.
I'm gonna take you round the world.
A circle line round New York,
Through Central Park we will walk.
We'll hang out at the Boat House, take a paddle ride,
We'll do it up in style,
And I'm gonna make you smile, I can,
I'll be your good time man.
No Phantom of the Opera, not for me,
I like Coney Island by the sea.
French fries at Nathan's, not Grenouille.
You're gonna see the real me.
I'll be your good time man,
I'll be your good time man,
I'll be your good

Here I come, the king of clowns,
As I hide behind a smile and paint the town.
Though I cry since you're gone,
You'll never know because the show must go on.
I've been sad, I've been blue
Ever since the day that you found someone new.
I pretend but you can't tell,
With my broken heart I play my part so well.
Step aside, here I come, the king of clowns,
As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down.
I make believe, with a smile,
But the king of clowns is cryin' all the while.
Tra la la la la la lilo, tra la la la la la lilo,
Here comes the king of clowns.
Tra la la la la la lilo, tra la la la la la lilo,
Here comes the king of clowns.
There are tears you'll never see,
No you'll never see my tears and pity me.
Though I'm hurt, still I'm proud,
Always laughin' as I walk among the crowd.
Step aside, here I come, the king of clowns,
As I hide the lonely teardrops that come down.

Every night I say a little prayer
I lie in bed beside you and I thank go that you're there
Remembering how lonely life can be
Till heaven smiled and sent you down to me
I was born the moment that we met
It's been years and still the magic hasn't left me yet
Day by day the thrill goes on and on
The sparkle in your eyes has never gone
Chorus
Love keeps getting stronger every day
And it grows more beautiful in each and every way
And I swear I love you more
Than I did the day before
Love keeps getting stronger every day
And the things I'm feeling are impossible to say
Honey you'll just have to take my word
For all the lovely things you've never heard
Music
Love keeps getting stronger every day
All I really wanna do is spend my whole life loving you
Darling please believe me when I say
Love keeps getting stronger
Yeah it keeps on getting stronger
Love keeps getting stronger
Yeah it keeps on gettting stronger
Love keeps getting stronger
Every daaaaaay

Love love will keep us together
Think of me babe whenever
Some sweet talking guy comes along singing his song
Don't mess around,
You got to be strong
Just Stop, 'cause I really love You
Stop, I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together
You, you belong to me now
Ain't gonna set you free now
When those guys start hanging around talking me down
Hear with your heart and you won't hear a sound
Just stop, 'cause I really love you
Stop, I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together
Whatever young and beautiful
Someday your looks will be gone
When the others turn you off
Who'll be turning you on
I will, I will, I will, I will
Be there to share forever
Love will keep us together
Said it before and I'll say it again while others pretend
I'll need you now and I'll need you then
Stop 'cause I really love Ya
Stop I'll be thinking of Ya
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

<@#Neil_Sedaka_Moon_Of_Gold.txt#@>
Moon of gold in the sky.
My loving sweetheart said goodbye.
Those moonlight kisses that she shared with me,
Are just a memory.
By the light of your glow.
Those tender love words whispered low,
Were just a promise that never came true,
For she found someone new.
How, how was I to know she'd soon go,
And leave me longing in the moon glow?
Since she's gone I'm alone,
I have no sweetheart of my own.
Just a memory of a love that's grown cold,
And a tarnished moon of gold.
Since she's gone I'm alone,
I have no sweetheart of my own.
Just a memory of a love that's grown cold,
And a tarnished moon of gold.
<@#Neil_Sedaka_The_Miracle_Song.txt#@>
All my life
I've been a kind of lonely man
Searching high and low
Looking for my way
Then all at once
I saw you right in front of me
I knew right then and there
My lonely days were through
You're just a rose
That shimmers in the sun
And now I know
My life has just begun
You are the sweetest thing
That could ever, ever be
And you're a miracle to me
You fill my life
With tenderness and harmony
I never thought
That I'd be laughing once again
You fill the room
With something warm and wonderful
I can't imagine life
Without your precious love
You're just a rose
That shimmers in the sun
And now I know
My life has just begun
You are the sweetest thing
That could ever, ever be
And you're a miracle to me
Rivers bend rivers flow
Till the end of time
They keep flowing
Through eternity
Take me there
Sail away
Take me to the sea
You're a river that flows inside of me
You're just a rose
That shimmers in the sun
And now I know
My life has just begun
You are the sweetest thing
That I could ever, ever see
And you're a miracle to me

Time marches on, mountains may turn to dust
The world outside may crumble and fall
This love that we share won't be touched by the hands of time
It will last 'till the sands of time have withered away
Time marches on, oceans may disappear
But my love for you won't ever change
Though time may go, our love will grow
And last from day to day while time marches on
Our love is here to stay
Time marches on, mountains may turn to dust
The world outside may crumble and fall
This love that we share won't be touched by the hands of time
It will last 'till the sands of time have withered away

Do do do do do do do do, what a surprise
Do do do do do do do do, what a surprise
Ooh Ooh Ooh, what a surprise
She stood there looking like she didn't care
Looking right through me like I wasn't there
Could've bowled me over when I realized
She was cooking me breakfast what a surprise
What a surprise baby, oh what a night
Looking real good, she was moving just right
I can't begin to describe all the charms
I held in my arms what a surprise
Oohh, oohh, she didn't say nothing, not a word
Oohh, oohh, I knew she was telling me something
Had to go back for a second helping
Out of the blue and right into my heart
I'm telling you, you can't keep us apart
Lights up the sky like the stars in the night
Who would have thunk it what a surprise
Bridge
What a surprise baby, oh what a night
Looking real good she was moving just right
Lights up the sky like the stars in the sky
Who would have thunk it what a surprise

Where the boys are, someone waits for me
A smilin' face, a warm embrace,
Two arms to hold me tenderly
Where the boys are, my true love will be
He's walkin' down some street in town
And I know he's lookin' there for me
In the crowd of a million people
I'll find my valentine
And then I'll climb to the highest steeple
And tell the world he's mine
Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me
Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me

If I could hold on
To just one thought
For long enough to know
Why my mind is moving so fast
And the conversation is slow.
Burn off all the fog
And let the sun
Through to the snow
Let me see your face again
Before I have to go.
I have seen you in the movies
And in those magazines at night
I saw you on the barstool when
You held that glass so tight.
And I saw you in my nightmares
But I'll see you in my dreams
And I might live a thousand years
Before I know what that means.
Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths
His life was filled with parasites
And countless idle threats.
He trusted in a woman
And on her he made his bets
Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths.

Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
<@#Neil_Young_Carmichael.txt#@>
Silk scarf and a napkin hidden in a drawer
Two hundred bucks in an envelope labeled Lenore
"Maybe she shouldn't see this
She should never know"
Said the widow's best friend Ann
"I'll just take it and go
I'll give it her the money later
Say it was in his shoe
That way she'll never find out
That'll do"
"Carmichael was a credit to the force
In everything he did
It's like we've got a big hole in our side
Where he fit
If any of you officers would like to say a word
Now would be the time to be heard"
"Thank you chief, I sure would
He was a partner of mine
He was always very careful
Played it straight down the line"
One by one the officers spoke
And the service drew to a close
He had no living relatives but his wife-who never showed
She just couldn't face the men--they all understood
They got in their cars and drove home
As directly as they could
"Carmichael, you asshole!"
The new widow sobbed beneath her vale
"Shot down in the line of duty
Is this how justice never fails?
I wish that things were better
When we said goodbye today
But we had our share of good times though along the way
Remember 'Hey mister Las Vegas-You used to be so cool!'?
We met Wayne Newton down on Pebble Beach and you acted like a fool
But we both just couldn't stop laughing-it seemed so funny to us
We left our luggage back in the room and almost missed the bus
That was a great vacation--maybe the best of all
But goddamn it, Carmichael, you're dead now and I'm talking to the wall"
The force got back to normal
Carmichael was replaced
For one year nobody parked a car in Carmichael's space
<@#Neil_Young_Crime_In_The_City.txt#@>
Well, the cop made the showdown
He was sure he was right
He had all of the lowdown
From the bank heist last night
His best friend was the robber
And his wife was a thief
All the children were killers
They couldn't get no relief
The bungalow was surrounded
When a voice loud and clear
Said, Come on out with your hands up
Or we'll blow you out of here.
There was a face in the window
The TV cameras rolled
Then they cut to the announcer
And the story was told.
The artist looked at the producer
The producer sat back
He said, What we have got here
Is a perfect track
But we don't have a vocal
And we don't have a song
If we could get these things accomplished
Nothin' else could go wrong.
So he balanced the ashtray
As he picked up the phone
And said, Send me a songwriter
Who's drifted far from home
And make sure that he's hungry
Make sure he's alone
Send me a cheeseburger
And a new Rolling Stone.
Yeah.
There's still crime in the city,
Said the cop on the beat,
I don't know if I can stop it
I feel like meat on the street
They paint my car like a target
I take my orders from fools
Meanwhile some kid blows my head off
Well, I play by their rules
That's why I'm doin' it my way
I took the law in my hands
So here I am in the alleyway
A wad of cash in my pants
I get paid by a ten year old
He says he looks up to me
There's still crime in the city
But it's good to be free.
Yeah.
Now I come from a family
That has a broken home
Sometimes I talk to Daddy
On the telephone
When he says that he loves me
I know that he does
But I wish I could see him
I wish I knew where he was
But that's the way all my friends are
Except maybe one or two
Wish I could see him this weekend
Wish I could walk in his shoes
But now I'm doin' my own thing
Sometimes I'm good, then I'm bad
Although my home has been broken
It's the best home I ever had
Yeah.
Well, I keep gettin' younger
My life's been funny that way
Before I ever learned to talk
I forgot what to say
I sassed back to my mom
I sassed back to my teacher
I got thrown out of Bible school
For sassin' back at the preacher
Then I grew up to be a fireman
Put out every fire in town
Put out anything smokin'
But when I put the hose down
The judge sent me to prison
He gave me life without parole
Wish I never put the hose down
Wish I never got old.

Back in the country, living on the Double E
In the sunshine of her life
There's already a young fellow but Mom and Daddy won't let her leave
Mom and Poppa won't let her go
But when they go out dancin'
She breaks out on her own
She's hot enough to burn the house down
But Mom and Poppa don't know
When Edith and Earl renamed the Double E
They nearly made history
The locals rose up, some of them were mad as hell
Cause it used to be the Double L
Change comes slow in the country
When you're new there's a lot of distrust
Years fly by uneventful
Memories turn to dust
Meanwhile Granny has got her bright colors on
And the sun's shinin' in her eyes
Cruisin' by the bars and honky-tonks where she met Grandpa
And caught that young man's eye
Dusty white El Dorado
Cruisin' through the trees
Slippin' through the shadows
Of what used to be
Back in the days, living in the summer of love
Living in the summer of love
Grandma's okay, not the same since Grandpa's gone
She's living in the summer of love
Back in the days, living in the summer of love
Living in the summer of love
Living in the summer of love
Living in the summer of love
Back in the days, living in the summer of love
Living in the summer of love

I've been wrong before
And I'll be there again
I don't have any answers my friend
Just this pile of old questions
My memory left me here
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
I'm going' back to my house
But I'm not goin' now
It's too early to be leaving here, somehow
Let me bore you with this story
"How my lover let me down"
While I borrow seeds of sadness
From the ground.
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
There ain't no way of telling
Where these seeds will rise or when
I'll just wait around 'til springtime
And then, I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.
When I'm all done cultivatin'
I'll be rockin' on the porch
Tryin' to picture you and where you are
And there'll be no hesitatin'
When Cupid lights the torch
With those headlights comin' down the hill
Between the stars.
In the field of opportunity
It's plowin' time again.

From Hank to Hendrix
I walked these streets with you
Here I am with this old guitar
Doin' what I do.
I always expected
That you should see me through
I never believed in much
But I believed in you.
Can we get it together
Can we still stand side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?
From Marilyn to Madonna
I always loved your smile
Now we're headed for the big divorce
California-style.
I found myself singin'
Like a long-lost friend
The same thing that makes you live
Can kill you in the end.
Can we get it together
Can we still stand side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?
Sometime it's distorted
Not clear to you
Sometimes the beauty of love
Just comes ringin' through.
New glass in the window
New leaf on the tree
New distance between us
You and me.
Can we get it together
Can we still walk side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?

When you walk in a room
You hold your head up high
You talk to people eye to eye
There's nothing to hide
You're feeling
So complete inside
Your heart feels
So complete inside
'Cause you got love.
If you got love
You know you got it
If you got love
Can't live without it
If you got love
The world you're walking in
Is at your command
You're staring
In the face of scorn
You know your spirit
Can't be torn
You're living like a satellite
Maintain your distance
Through the night
You know that
Something isn't right
Your heart tells you
It's just not right
'Cause you got love.
If you got love
You know you got it
If you got love
Can't live without it
If you got love
The world you're walking in
Is at your command.
If you got love
The world you're walking in
Is at your command
If you got love
To share
If you got love

Children are laughing
In the sun
I count the voices
One by one
But I'm not there
To share the fun
I'm out on the interstate
I can hear
A soft voice calling
Calling me
To bring my guitar home.
I'm happy singing
In a crowd
The lights are bright,
The music's loud
I like to look
In every face
But out on the interstate
I can hear
A soft voice calling
Calling me
To bring my guitar home.
Out in the dusty
Desert wind
The fox goes looking
For a friend
She sees a light
Around the bend
I'm out on the interstate
I can hear
A soft voice calling
Calling me
To bring my guitar home.

I've kept my head against the wall
I've been this way for so long now
You weren't exactly falling over yourself
When last I saw you
Well I always thought
We'd get along like a house on fire
Until you told me that I'd have to go
How can someone like you work that slow
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
I don't feel anything no more
This state of grace is consuming me
I'm not grown up and I am not a boy
I feel no pain and I feel no joy
Well I always thought
We'd get along like a house on fire
In those days when the sun was warm
I ran in the street where I was born
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
The streets are so empty at this time of night
I'd rather walk on my own than fight
In a world where I'd forgotten you
I found myself forgotten, too
That's the danger of believing books
And all the lies of those thieves and crooks
We sing intellectual songs of love
From a stolen pen to a velvet glove.

Every little counts oh, when I am with you
(Do-do-do-do...)
Every second counts oh, when I am with you
Every second counts

I still look at you
The smile upon your face,

Caressing the marble and stone
Love that was special for one
The waste and the fever and hate
How I wish you were here with me now
The body that kills and hides
Matches an awful delight
Warm like a dog 'round your feet
How I wish you were here with me now
The hangman looks 'round as he waits
Gullet stretches tight and it breaks
Someday we will die in your dreams
How I wish we were here with you now

There was a time I call before
When all I knew was what I saw
The keeper of a major key
I lived in a town called Liberty
I worked hard
To give you all the things that you need
And almost anything that you see
I spent a lifetime working on you
And you won't even talk to me
Can't you see
Why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be
So much my enemy
I knew that I could never give
You knew that you could not forgive
No price or pride would fall before
A ten foot wall without a door
But you know
I watch every step that you make
To find some other fool you can take
And I don't know why I even try
Because it all comes down to this
Can't you see
Why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be
So much my enemy
Can't you see
Why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be
So much my enemy
I worked hard
To give you all the things that you need
And almost anything that you see
I spent a lifetime working on you
And you won't even talk to me
<@#New_Order_Regret.txt#@>
Maybe I've forgotten
The name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known,
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam
The kids have run away
I would like a place I can call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain 'bout my wounded heart
I was upset, you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine
I wouldn't even trust you
I've not that much to give
We're dealing in the limits, and
We don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you
I would like a place I can call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain 'bout my wounded heart
I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine
I would like a place I can call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain 'bout my wounded heart
Just wait 'till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart...

I've watched your face for a long time
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
Well, now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain
Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it's called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly
It grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It's called love
And it belongs to everyone but us
I've lived my life in the valleys
I've lived my life on the hills
I've lived my life on alcohol
I've lived my life on pills
But it's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
And it's the only thing that's worth living for
It's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
Yes it's called love
Oh, love is found in the east and west
But when love is at home, it's the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle
It's called love
And it's so un-cool
It's called love
And somehow it's become unmentionable
It's called love
And it belongs to every one of us
It's called love
And it cuts your life like a broken knife

Take my hand
And don't let go
Trust this man
And let it flow
Don't take me down
Cause I'm not done
Don't steal my crown
Before it's won
The wide expanse
The wheel of chance
Will turn my way
The sky will not be gray
I don't want to be like other people are
Don't want to own a key, don't want to wash my car
Don't want to have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
Take my hand
And don't let go
Trust this man
And let it flow
I drank in every bar in town
I filled my cup when I was down
I saw the things I wanted to see
Became the man I wanted to be
But then somehow I lost my way
I've got to get back there today
I don't want to be like other people are
Don't want to own a key, don't want to wash my car
Don't want to have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
I don't want to be like other people are
Don't want to own a key, don't want to wash my car
Don't want to have to work like other people do

I don't want to be like other people are
Don't want to own a key, don't want to wash my car
Don't want to have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
I don't want to be like other people are
Don't want to own a key, don't want to wash my car
I lie awake at night, or wait until it's light
I want it to be free, I thought that I was right

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's gown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and plumes of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties
And what shall she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning
A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties

Standing by the water
She was naked
Her hair in great disorder
And I know why I'm flying
And the rest is lies
I sent a warning
A warning of disaster
I sent a warning
I warned of great disaster
I sent that blue bird
That blue bird down the water
I sent that blue bird
Floating down the water
And I know that I'm flying
And the rest is lies
And I know that I'm flying
And the rest is lies.

Christina the astonishing
Lived a long time ago
She was stricken with a seizure
At the age of twenty-two
They took her body in a coffin
To a tiny church in liege
Where she sprang up from the coffin
Just after the agnus dei
She soared up to the rafters
Perched on a beam up there
Cried 'the stink of human sin
Is more that I can bear'
Christina the astonishing
Was the most astonishing of all
She prayed balanced on a hurdle
Or curled up into a ball
She fled to remote places
Climbed towers and trees and walls
To escape the stench of human corruption
Into an oven she did crawl
O christina the astonishing
Behaved in a terrifying way
She would run wildly through the streets
Jump in the meusse and swim away
O christina the astonishing
Behaved in terrifying manner
Died at the age of seventy-four
In the convent of st anna

Words and music by Kaye - Weisman - Fuller
"The Bad Seeds performed Cindy regularly in their live sets in 1990, and
indeed on a tv appearance as well. I have a version of Elvis Presly doing this
song, but I think it's a traditional, also known as 'i Wish I Was An Apple',
or as 'Sydney'. I think The Bad Seeds often sang 'Come on home, Sydney Cindy'
-Maurice
Wish I was an apple dangling from a tree
Every time you'd pass me by you'd take a bite of me
I wish I was a bluebird I'd never fly away
I'd sit up on your shoulder baby and sing to you all day
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me
I wrote it in a letter, carved it on a tree
Told it to a honeycomb, told it to a bee
Told them that I love you, they all know it's true
Say it till the cows come home until it gets to you
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me
Need you in the morning to start the coffee pot
Need you in the afternoon to fan me when I'm hot
Need you in the evening when supper time is through
What I'm really tryin' to say is I can't get enough of you
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me
If I were a musician I'd harp on just one thing
You should never play my harp the way you pluck a string
If only you would love me say it and tell me so
I need two charms about me baby to have the whole world
Know
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy Cindy
Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me

As so with that, I thought I'd take a final walk
The tide of public opinion had started to abate
The neighbours, bless them, had
Turned out to be all talk
I could see their frightened faces
Peering at me trough the gate
I was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closure
Time moved so rapidly, I had no hope
Of keeping track of it
I thought of my friends who had died of exposure
And I remembered other ones who
Had died from the lack of it
And in my best shoes I started falling
Forward down the street
I stopped at a church and jostled trough the crowd
And love followed just behind me
Panting at my feet
At the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud
Inside I sat, seeking the presence of a God
I searched trough the pictures in a
Leather-bound book
I found a woolly lamb dozing in an issue of blood
And a gilled Jesus shivering on a
Fisherman's hook
Babe
It seems so long
Since you've been gone away
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day
Back on the street I saw a great big smiling sun
It was a Good day and an Evil day and
All was bright and new
And it seemed to me that most
Destruction was beeing done
By those who could not choose
Between the two
Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboya, clones
The streets groan with little Caesars,
Napoleons and cunts
With their building blocks and their tiny
Plastic phones
Counting on their fingers, with crumbs
Down their fronts
I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers
The Mangolias, Camellias and Azaleas so sweet
And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
You looked so beautiful in the rising heat
I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns
People carry on regardless, listening to their hands
Great cracks appear in the pavement,
The earth yawns
Bored and disgusted, to do us down
Babe
It seems so long
Since you've been gone
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day
These streets are frozen now
I come and go
Full of a longing for something I do
Not know
My father sits slumped in the
Deepening snow
As I search, in and out, above,
About, below
Babe
It seems so long
Since you went away
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day

In his boat and through the dark he rowed
Chained to oar and the night and the wind that blowed
Horribly 'round his ears
Under the bridge and into your dreams he soars
While you lie alone in that idea-free sleep of yours
That you've been sleeping now for years
And he wants you
He wants you
He is straight and he is true
Ooh hoo hoo
Beneath the hanging cliffs and under the many stars where
He will move, all amongst your tangled hair
And deep into the sea
And you will wake and walk and draw the blind
And feel some presence there behind
And turn to see what that may be
Oh, babe, it's me
And he wants you
He wants you
He is straight and he is true
Ooh hoo hoo

As the snow flies
On a cold and grey Chicago morn
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
And his mama cries
Cause there's one thing that she don't need
Is another little hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto
Oh people don't you understand
This child needs a helping hand
He's gonna grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we that blind to see?
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
And the world turns
And the hungry little boy with the runny nose
Plays in the streets as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
He buys a gun and steals a car
He tries to run but he don't get far
And his mama cries
A crowd gathers round an angry young man
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
Oh people don't you understand
This child needs a helping hand
He's gonna grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we that blind to see?
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
And as her young man dies
On a cold and grey Chicago morn
Another little baby child is born in the ghetto

You found me at some party,
You thought I'd understand,
You barreled over to me,
With a drink in each hand.
I respect your beliefs girl
And I consider you a friend,
But I've already been born once,
I don't want to be born again.
Your knowledge is impressive
And your argument is good,
But I am the resurrection babe
And your standin' on my foot

But my little boat is empty,
It don't go
And my oar is broken,
It don't row row row,
My little boat is empty,
It don't go,
And my oar is broken,
It don't row row row
Your tiny little face
Keeps yappin' in the gloom
Seven steps behind me
With your dust-pan and broom.
I can't help but imagine you
All postured and prone,
But there's a little guy on my shoulder
Says I should go home alone
But you keep leaning in on me
And you're lookin' pretty pissed
That grave you've dug between
Your legs is hard to resist
[Chorus]
Give to God what belongs to God
And give the rest to me,
Tell our gracious host to fuck himself,
It's time for us to leave

I stood in the water
In the middle month of winter
My camel skin was torture
I was in a state of nature
The wind, sir, it was wicked
I was so alone
Just as I predicted
My followers were gone
And I cried 'Mercy'
Have mercy upon me
And I got down on my knees
Thrown into a dungeon
Bread and water was my portion
Faith - my only weapon
To rest the devil's legion
The speak-hole would slide open
A viper's voice would plead
Thick with innuendo
Syphilis and Greed
And she cried 'Mercy'
Have mercy upon me
And I told her to get down on her knees
In a garden full of roses
My hands, tied behind me
My cousin was working miracles
I wondered if he'd find me
The moon was turned toward me
Like a platter made of gold
My death, it almost bored me
So often was it told
And I cried 'Mercy'
I cried mercy on me
Cryind 'Mercy'
Have mercy on me

Please forgive me
If I appear unkind
But any fool can tell you
It's all in your mind
Down in the meadow
The old lion stirs
Puts his hand 'cross his mouth
He has no use for words
Poor little girl
With your handful of snow
Poor little girl
Had no way to know
And you've got me eating
You've got me eating

Right out of your hand
I mean you no harm
When I tell you you're blind
Give a sucker an even break
He'll lose it all, every time

Over the frozen fields
The hollyhocks hang harmlessly
And the old lion yields
And you've got me eating

I climbed the hill, lay in the grass
A little dark-eyed girl drifted past
She said all the best is come, it could not last
And the worst, it has come true
Her hands are small and fluttered up
I lay amongst the buttercups
I pulled on my coat and buttoned it up
For the worst, it had come true
Sail away, sail away
To a place where your troubles can't follow
Sail away, sail away
Save all your tears for tomorrow
Orphans of the city moved toward us
And the swallows swooped and the starlings warned us
And the peril in everything
It assured us that the worst had come true
And all my sorrows made their bed beside me
The shame, the disgrace and the brutality
And she whispered then "Let laughter flee."
For the worst, it has come true
Dry your tears, forget while we're here
Leave all your sorrows behind you
Never lose heart, all things will pass
To a place where your troubles can't find you
She came beside me amongst my coat
Her breath was warm against my throat
We clung to each other so very close
For the worst, it had come true
Sail away, sail away
To a place where your heart will not shame you
Take my hand through this night without end
For the worst, it has come to claim you
Sail away, sail away
To a place where no one can betray you
Take my hand through this night without end
For the worst, it has come to claim you

Nick performed this for the Italian film Mojo, along with Gallon Drunk and it
is available on a cd called Soho.
Now it begins, now that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight till dawn
Watching that clock till you return
And lighting that torch and watching it burn
Now it begins, day after day
This is my life ticking away
Waiting to hear footsteps that say:
Love will appear and this time will stay
Each time you go
I try to pretend
It's over at last
This time the big hurt will end
Now it begins, now that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight till dawn
So if you don't come back again
I wonder when, oh when will it end?
The big hurt (repeat)
<@#Nick_Cave_The_Dim_Locator.txt#@>
Inanimational items elude I, and
In-an-emotional-motion I swallow my
Motive of quicker location is slammed
My dim chance of skipping this thick world is thin
They call me Dim
I am the Dim Locator
Dim Locator
Loco, lomo, loco, lomo l'wow, wow, wow
(same as above)
Intrigueinometry treads on my trail
Entriggering traps for a gross gang of ghost types
Who later are packed in a cast iron trunk
These things have been known, to get out of their wraps
Don't call me Dim
I am the Dim locator
Dim Locator
Loco, lomo......
Fog fished and filtered is filling my case book, of
Friends who fall foul of my files trip and breakneck
Are stacked in the woodshed for further good use
There's some certain people who shouldn't start fires
So call me Dim!
I am the Dim Locator!
Dim Locator!
Don't call me Dim!
<@#Nick_Cave_The_Hammer_Song.txt#@>
I set out on monday
The night was cold and vast
And my brother slept
And though I left quite quietly
My father raged and raged
And my mother wept
Now, my life was like a river
All sucked into the ground
And then the hammer came down
Lord, the hammer came down
Many miles did I roam
Through the ice and through the snow
My horse died on the seventh day
I stumbled into a city
Where the people tried to kill me
And I ran in shame
Then I came upon a river
And I laid my saddle down
And then the hammer came down
Lord, the hammer came down
It knocked me to the ground
And I said, "Please, please
Take me back to my home town"
Lord, the hammer came down
Now I've been made weak by visions
Many visions did I see
All through the night
On the seventh hour an angel came
With many snakes in all his hands
And I fled in fright
I pushed off into the river
And the water came around
And then the hammer came down
Lord, the hammer came down
And it did not make a sound
And I said, "Please, please
Take me back to my home ground"
Lord, the hammer came down
<@#Nick_Cave_The_Ship_Song.txt#@>
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

Catch a boat to England, baby
Maybe to spain
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone, the blues I'd to sing
Go bring me whiskey, baby
Go bring me gin
Me and room service, honey
Me and room service
Me and room service, well we're living like a sin
When I'm not drinking, baby
You are on my mind
When I'm not sleeping
When I'm not sleeping
When I'm not sleeping, well you know, you'll find me crying
Try another city, baby
Try another town
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone, the blues run the game
Well maybe someday, baby
Somewhere down the line
I'll wake up older, honey
So much older
I'll wake up older and just stop all my trying
Catch a boat to England, baby
Maybe to spain
Wherever I have gone
Wherever I've been and gone
Wherever I have gone, the blues run the game
<@#Nick_Drake_Cant_Help_Wondering_Why.txt#@>
I could have done better things
If someone shut my mouth
Or somebody clipped my wings
So many wasted evenings
Talking the same sweet talk
Always the last ones leaving
Waking up when fortunes knock
I've no regrets no I couldn't think of one
We both kept the road
The road that we stumbled on
You and me walking home
Fighting the morning light
Just making our way through days
But making out like thieves at night
I can't help wondering
Can't help wondering why
I can't help wondering
Can't help wondering why
Sometimes you wake up screaming
All my life I must be dreaming
I've been wrong
And I'm not strong
But I'll be the one that keeps rolling on
Born to this generation
Never made to wait
Looking like fools sometimes
A couple of blind men at the gate
I can't help wondering
Can't help wondering why
I can't help wondering
Can't help wondering why

Do you curse where you come from,
Do you swear in the night
Will it mean much to you
If I treat you right.
Do you like what you're doing,
Would you do it some more
Or will you stop once and wonder
What you're doing it for.
Hey slow Jane, make sense
Slow, slow, Jane, cross the fence.
Do you feel like a remnant
Of something that's past
Do you find things are moving
Just a little too fast.
Do you hope to find new ways
Of quenching your thirst,
Do you hope to find new ways
Of doing better than your worst.
Hey slow Jane, let me prove
Slow, slow Jane, we're on the move.
Do it for you,
Sure that you would do the same for me one day.
So try to be true,
Even if it's only in your hazey way.
Can you tell if you're moving
With no mirror to see,
If you're just riding a new man
Looks a little like me.
Is it all so confusing,
Is it hard to believe
When the winter is coming
Can you sign up and leave.
Hey slow Jane, live your lie
Slow, slow jane, fly on by.
<@#Nick_Drake_Here_Comes_The_Blues.txt#@>
Monday is shining, you know 'em Tuesday's rain
Well, the days go by me like a southbound train
Yes, it's funny thinking you will never call my name
Here comes long lonely, here come the blues
Well, the world's the same old comedy, you know my time is cold
Nothing new, blue lady, I won't get old
'Cause the deal is gone now, I'd just better hold
Here comes long lonely, here come the blues
Well, sun has run down, she has gone out to hide
Yes, and now I'm out walking where the midnight ride
Just me and the good time Charlies and the suicide
Here comes long lonely, here come the blues
Well, Monday's dry, yes, and Tuesday's just the same
Maybe come down blue Wednesday, I'm gonna grab the brakes again
'Cause no bottle of pills could ever kill this pain
Here comes long lonely, here come the blues
Here comes long lonely, here come the blues
<@#Nick_Drake_Leaving_Me_Behind.txt#@>
The tramp moves on to the end of the street
I listen to the echo of his hobnail feet
For some there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
The world humes on at it's breakneck pace
People fly in their lifelong race
For them there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
The chances they come, but the chances have been lost
Success can be gained, but at too great a cost
For some there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
The wind sweeps up and goes back to it's tree
The rain flows by and moves to the sea
For them there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
<@#Nick_Drake_One_Of_These_Things_First.txt#@>
I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook
A real live lover, could have been a book.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be
Here and now
I would be, I should be
But how?
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.
I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more.
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend,
A whole long lifetime could have been the end.
I could be yours so true
I would be, I should be through and through
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.
I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute
A real live giver, could have been a boot.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be even here
I would be, I should be so near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.
<@#Nick_Drake_Place_To_Be.txt#@>
When I was younger, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older see it face to face
And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place.
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be.
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day is done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you.
<@#Nick_Drake_Suicide_Is_Painless.txt#@>
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...
[Refrain]
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate
But now I know that it's to late, and...
Refrain
The game of life is hard to play
I'm going to lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
Refrain
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
And to another give my seat
For that's the only painless feat
Refrain
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works it's way on in
The pain grows stronger... Watch it grin but...
Refrain
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied 'oh why ask me? '
'Cause suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
... And you can do the same thing if you please.
<@#Nick_Drake_Tired_Of_Pretending.txt#@>
You have never tried
To conceal or deny
That this love is my ruin
My peril and trial
All of the promises were nothing but lies
But now that you're here
Why don't you stay for a while
Most of my friends
Fell under your spell
Some fell into heaven
But most fell back in to hell
The beauty forgotten
Like the snow-covered crops in the field
Where the wind knows no mercy
And she howls and she reels
But I'm tired of pretending
Yes I'm tired of pretending
That I still care
I still care
And the smoke curls like a river
To some forgotten land
Floating abandoned the mystery concealed
Like the moonlit shadows
On a snow-covered field
Where the wind knows no mercy
And she howls
And she reels
But I'm tired of pretending
Yes I'm tired of pretending
That I still care
I still care
<@#Nick_Drake_Up_On_That_Cloud.txt#@>
It's so easy to fall in love with you
I know I did for a day or two
You never noticed lost in your crowd
Just no room for me up on that cloud
Can't find no changes
For better in my luck
Empty are my eyes and my heart
Cold grey days
The nights are so long
My heart is sinking
Bound to a stone
This old world is a bag of tricks
A whole lot of nothin'
Where nothin' ever fits
In all her glory she just don't compare
To one single tear
In your beautiful eyes
Thank you December
For your cold grey air
Lakes are frozen, trees are bare
I once loved her
Of that I am proud
Just no room for me
Up on that cloud
<@#Nick_Drake_Way_To_Blue.txt#@>
Don't you have a word to show what may be done
Have you never heard a way to find the sun
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won't you come and say
If you know the way to blue?
Have you seen the land living by the breeze
Can you understand a light among the trees
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Tell us all today
If you know the way to blue?
Look through time and find your rhyme
Tell us what you find
We will wait at your gate
Hoping like the blind.
Can you now recall all that you have known?
Will you never fall
When the light has flown?
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won't you come and say
If you know the way to blue?

Don't let it end.

Well, I got two tickets to the game.
It would be great if I could take you to this sunday.
Well, I'll walk you home when the whole things done.
If you're there, I don't even care which team won.
We could stop at the coffee shop.
And make fun of the cops in the parking lot.
We could laugh as we both pretend that we're not in love and that we're just
good friends.
Well, I'm tired of pretending, but I'm terrified of it ending.
I know if not for you there's nothing I could do, to ever let it end.
And I know you feel the same way, because you told me drunk on your birthday.
And as you pulled me near, whispered in my ear, don't ever let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't ever let it end.
Saturday I'm gonna take her out.
'Cause her favorite band is gonna play downtown.
Gonna sing the song we've all heard, about those two young friends who should
have fell in love.
Later on we'll cut through the park.
And she can hold my hand because she hates the dark.
And we could laugh as we both pretend that we're not in love and that we're
just good friends.
Well, I'm tired of pretending, but I'm terrified of it ending.
I know if not for you there's nothing I could do, to ever let it end.
And I know you feel the same way, because you told me drunk on your birthday.
And as you pulled me near, whispered in my ear, don't ever let it end.
Please promise me that this won't end.
Don't let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't ever let it end.
Greatest times we ever had, the crazy nights just looking back and laugh.
You never know where life's gonna go, because we're the only ones who will
ever know.
About Sunday night, just her and I.
Sitting side by side in the full moon light.
I pulled her close just to hold her tight and the both of us could tell it
just felt right.
She looked at me in the sweetest way.
Like she could tell what the hell I was about to say.
Must have took a while to find the words 'cause she cut me off and finally
said it first.
Well, I'm tired of pretending, but I'm terrified of it ending.
I know if not for you there's nothing I could do to ever let it end.
Yeah, you know I feel the same way, because I told you drunk on my birthday.
And as I pulled you near, whispered in your ear, don't ever let it end.
Please promise me that this won't end.
Don't let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't ever let it end.
Please promise that this won't end.
Don't let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't ever let it end.

Well, I wanted you
I wanted no one else
I thought it through
I got you to myself
You got off
Every time you got onto me
I got caught up
In favorable slavery
[Chorus]
I guess it wasn't really right
I guess it wasn't meant to be
It didn't matter what they said
Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
No, it didn't matter what I tried
It's just a little hard to leave
When you're going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
Well, you know my friends
They know your enemies
And I'd pretend
Not to hear what they said to me
Cause I got off
Every time you got onto me
Was it wrong
To go along with insanity?
[Chorus]
I guess it wasn't what, it wasn't really what I thought
I thought it was the day I got, I want it all to go away
I guess it wasn't what, it wasn't really what I thought
I thought it was the day I got, I want it all to go away
I guess it wasn't what, it wasn't really what I thought
I thought it was the day I got, I want it all to go away
I guess it wasn't what, it wasn't really what I thought
I thought it was the day I got, I want it all to go away

Lost it on the chesterfield
Or maybe on
A gamblin' wheel
Lost it in a diamond mine
It's dark as hell
And hard to find
You can climb to the
Top of the highest tree
You can look around
But you still won't see
What I'm lookin' for
Where the good times gone?
Where the good times gone?
All the stupid fun
And all that shit we've done
Where the good times gone?
Well I still don't know
Out in the back
In the old corn field
Underneath the tractor wheel
Thought I'd dig
Till I'd found it first
Broke my back
And died of thirst
You can bribe the devil
You can pray to God
You can sell off
Everything you got
And you still won't know
Where the good times gone?
Where the good times gone?
All the stupid fun
And all that shit we've done
Where the good times gone?
And you still don't know
Saw it on the silver screen
Preacher says
"Don't know what it means"
Last page ad
In a comic book
Bought me a map
Showed me where to look
It ain't carved of stone
Or made of wood
And if you paid for it
Then it's still no good
And you still won't know
What I'm looking for
Where the good times gone?
Where the good times gone?
All the stupid fun
And all that shit we've done
Where the good times gone?
<@#Nickelback_Id_Come_For_You.txt#@>
Just one more moment, that's all that's needed,
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing
Time to be honest, this time I'm pleading,
Please don't dwell on it, 'cause I didn't mean it
I can't believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground,
But it doesn't matter 'cause I made it up, forgive me now
Everyday I spend away, my soul's inside out,
Gotta be some way that I can make it up to you now, somehow
[Chorus]
By now you know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing,
My mind was closing, now I'm believing
I finally know just what it means to let someone in,
To see the side of me that no one does, or ever will
So if you're ever lost and find yourself all alone,
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now, this I vow
[Chorus]
You know I'd always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember
You know I'd always come for you
Yes I'd come for you, no one but you,
Yes I'd come for you, but only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you,
You know I'd always come for you
No matter what gets in my way,
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember, you know I'd always come for you
I'd crawl across this world for you,
Do anything you want me to
No matter what, remember, you know I'd always come for you
You know I'd always come for you.

Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow
So hard to swallow
So turn the television off
And I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along
I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breath
'Cause I think I've forgotten
I think I've forgotten
One day, up to a cliff
That overlooked the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter
And now the ring is on my hand
It was given to me by her
To this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much higher

And I found out where it's all at
Better now than I'm before

Memories of cut in half
Tell the truth then I want you to laugh
We're not laughing
And I want it all

You know the score so just shut your mouth

Not like them I'd rather go without
Without needing

Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list, and you're last on mine
Lookin' for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, still straining you
Still hear you screaming where do I hide?
All he asks, I said hurry inside
He said, she said, no she don't
Be back before morning, you know she won't
I remember that summer, like yesterday
And I remember his mother, as he was dragged away
I still hear him screaming
Where do I hide?
All he asks, I say hurry inside
A whole lot of memory
Yours and not mine
All he asks, I said hurry inside
Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines

And he'll t-t-teach me to-teach me love my neighbor
Just w-w-wait up, I'm processin' all the data
Processin' all the data, p-p-processin' all the haters
You was writin' disses, I was takin' pictures
Signin' autographs for all of my bad bitches
And in a nic of time it just dawned on me
I am Nicki Minaj and it's all on me
But hey, maybe I'll never win
Maybe I'm settlin'
Can't let the devil in, I'm a comic book heroin
But when the wind blows, I'm so Marilyn (I'm so Marilyn)
Write it down, take a picture, bitches e-mail that
I came to save a thing called female rap
But I hope my ninja powers
Don't fuck around and offend you cowards
You mad at me 'cus you think I got it easy
If we was in the second grade then you would tease me
But see you still a lil' snotty nose hood rat
"I love Nicki" scribbled all over you book bag
I love you too, I just wish ya mother would've hugged you too
You know Nicki love the kids
Yellow brick road lookin' for the Wiz
But when it rains, it pours for real
Def Jam said I'm no Lauryn Hill
Can't rap and sing on the same cd
The public won't get it, they got A. D. D.
See Nicki, follow the rules
Go and say your prayers and get ready for school
(Yeah follow the rules, let me say my prayers and get ready for school)
Dear God, I am only what you made me
And I appreciate everything that you gave me
But like, I don't wanna do it no more
Sort of lost sight of what I'm doin' it for
Thought that I was doin' somethin' good for the game
Until they all started throwin' dirt on my name
Tell Debbie, I really, really tried
That I said I'm sorry, but I had to say goodbye
Tell Fendi, I'll never forget him
And please tell Wayne I'll always be indebted
(I'll never forget it, please tell Wayne I'll always be indebted)
Ayyyyyy!... Can anybody hear me?
Ayyyyyy!... Can anybody hear me?

Shitted on 'em,
Man I just shitted on 'em
Shitted on 'em,
Put yo' number two's in the air if you did it on 'em
Shitted on 'em,
Man I just shitted on 'em
Shitted on 'em,
Put your number two's in the air if you did it on 'em
All these bitches is my sons
And I'ma go and get some bibs for 'em
A couple formulas, little pretty lids on 'em
If I had a dick, I would pull it out and piss on 'em
Let me shake it off
I just signed a couple deals I might break you off
And we ain't making up I don't need a mediator
Just let them bums blow steam, radiator
[Chorus]
This stone is flawless F-1
I keep shooters up top in the F-1
A lot of bad bitches beggin' me to eff one
But I'm a eat them rap bitches when the chef come
Those some fresh one's
More talent in my mother fuckin' left thumb
She ain't a Nicki fan then the bitch deaf dumb
You ain't my son you my mother fuckin' step-son
[Chorus]
All these bitches is my sons
And I ain't talking 'bout Phoenix
Bitch I get money so I do's what I pleases
I live with the mother fuckin' pools and the trees is
Broke bitches so crusty (disgust me)
Gave the bitch a ride got the Continental dusty
Trust me I keep a couple hundred in the duff' b
Couple wet wipes in case a bum try to touch me
I'm the terminator, bitch talk slick I am have to terminate her
These little nappy headed hoes need a perminator
You my seed I spray you with the germinator
Move back bugs, matter fact you know the queen could use a back rub
If you could turn back time, Cher
You used the be here but now you gone Nair

I don't want no drama
I just wanna be your diamond, babe
Guaranteed to be a problem
Every time I get around you, babe
I just want you to need me
You might really wanna try me, babe
All I know I want a rider

You know that you need a rider

You know that you need a rider, babe, ah yeah...
[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]
Yo, I just wanna be ya rider
You should pull up in that Spider
You should let me hit the mic
And I ain't talking about the fighter
Get it lit without a lighter
Let's pull an all-nighter
Tell me-tell me what you need, got the weed
I'm a bad lil bitch and I never indict her
Get locked, I'mma write ya
You on the road? I'mma Skype ya
I don't wanna hype ya
But you a lucky nigga if my mean ass like ya
You ain't never have a bitch understand you
Most of them wanna use you when they ran through
I just wanna be somebody, that can add to
Your wife, be a friend, be a teacher and a fan too
I just wanna listen
When you leave I say "damn, I fucking miss him"
I just wanna be your vixen
Give you something real wet, to put your lips in
I wanna be the only one that can check you, and still respect you
Cause it's you I would change for, you always make sure
[Hook: Jeremih]
I just wanna be your favorite
I just wanna be your favorite

Won't you let me be your favorite?
[Verse 3: Nicki Minaj]
Ayo, I just wanna be your first go to
Treat me like a real one s'posed to, livin' bi-coastal
Scoop me in the truck, late night, wanna humble
Meet me out in Queens, where the city want a sundown
You could put your gun down, you could have fun now
You could tell you niggas that you won now, one down
Run through the clubs with the baddest
Bitches is the maddest, nothin' else matters
And if they workin' where the bag is
Gotta lot of bags, but we never got baggage
Went to Wonderland on my hands, call me Alice, balance
I'mma have you coming in my palace
London, Tokyo, Paris, let me update your status
Cause it's you I would change for, you always make sure

<@#Nicki_Minaj_Fly.txt#@>
[Chorus]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly
Uh yo, yo,
I wish today it will rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away
Trying to forgive you for abandoning me
Praying but I think I'm still an angel away
Angel away, yeah strange in a way
Maybe that is why I chase strangers away
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become Neo when they aiming at me
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all smell blood
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I'm just surmising
I win, thrive, soar, higher, higher, higher, more fire
[Chorus]
Uh yo, yo
Everybody wanna try to box me in
Suffocating every time it locks me in
Paintin' they own pictures than they crop me in
But I will remain where the top begins
'Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can ever be defined
I am not fly, I am levitation
I represent an entire generation
I hear the criticism loud and clear
That is how I know that the time is near
So we become alive in a time of fear
And I ain't got no motherfucking time to spare
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me
But when you go hard your nay's become yay's
Yankee Stadium with Jay's and Kanye's
[Chorus]
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
[Chorus]

Every time I come to fuck with you
You make up all the rules
You ought to do it
Just because our car's moving
Are you in my fucking corner for real?
Oh, are you plotting to kill?
I tell you just how I feel
But you never hear
Oh, why you take it like that?
Now you wanna leave and never come back
I don't control you, I ain't never say that
Can't give up on you, baby, we go way back
[Hook](x2)
[Verse 2]
Every time I try to fuck with you
Nothing ain't ever enough for you
And I had all this hope for you
But all you do is open wounds
I could be fucking with them other niggas
I know you ain't them other niggas
I don't fuck with a lot of bitches
Just my real bitches
Why you keep talking about it, you keep talking and you gon' get me pissed off
Motherfuckers who be wanting that bitch to go crazy if she could cut her wrist

I ain't gonna lie, no I ain't gonna lie like it was just his fault
But I know if a nigga lose me, then nigga, Oo-ee, that's his loss, young nigga

So you can keep my things
There's nothing you can bring
And oyu can have my ring, you can add it to your bling

Hear through the grapevine that he cakin'
We could shoot a movie, he could the tapin'
Boom boom pow, this thing be shakin'

Cause he look like he modellin' clothes in Dublin
So I think that he gettin' that green a goblin
Heard through the grapevine that he hang low
We could shoot a movie, could bang like Rambo
Boom boom pow, this thing's so bingo
Wondering if he can understand my lingo
Cause I know, he got a wife at home

Why'd you have to leave in July
On a peaceful and serene summer night
I wish that you would have waited until September
Just a couple more memories to remember
I guess I had to pay you back to your lender
I guess I had to send you back to The Sender
But then again maybe you're gone till November
And maybe this is just a part of the agenda
Why'd you have to go so soon
We miss you
Why couldn't you come right home
When you seen the text message in your phone
I should've put my pradas on to come and find you
I could've told you that them niggs was behind you
I couldve told you all about my intuition
I couldve even brought the extra ammunition
But now you've m-m-m-moved so fuck you
Should've known from day one I couldn't trust you
Why'd you have to go so soon
We miss you
Why would they take you from me
Why the doctors could not stop the bleeding
If you in a better place then you free
Well then why can't they make me believe it
You said that you would leave these streets
And I know you didn't mean in a body bag
But now you see you not bullet proof
And I'm mad cause you the best that I ever had
Why'd you have to go so soon
We miss you
I'll never love again
<@#Nightwish_Come_Cover_Me.txt#@>
Come wet a widow's eye
Cover the night with your love
Dry the rain from my beaten face
Drink the wine the red sweet taste of mine
Come cover me with you
For the thrill
Till you will take me in
Come comfort me in you
Young love must
Live twice only for us
For me
For you
Time devours passion's beauty
With me
With you
In war for the love of you
For me
For you
Time devours passion's beauty
With me
With you
Tonight any dream will do
Not a world but your fine grace
Seduction in sleepwalker's land
November dressed in May on your face
Holding us now the lovecropper's hand
Come cover me with you
Come cover
Come cover me now
Come cover me with you
For the thrill
Till you will take me in
Come comfort me in you
Young love must
Live twice only for us
Come cover me with you
Come cover
Come cover me now
<@#Nightwish_Dead_Boys_Poem.txt#@>
Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home
Sing what you can't say
Forget what you can't play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
My love letter to nobody
Never sigh for better world
It's already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god
Never sigh
"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker's cry, the one without tears
For I've given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life"
"Teach me passion for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell (this bitter farewell)
I live no more to shame nor me nor you
And you, I wish I didn't feel for you anymore"
A lonely soul, an ocean soul
<@#Nightwish_End_Of_All_Hope.txt#@>
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth
No will to wake for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow
Angels, they fell first but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung
Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug
Mandylion without a face
Death wish without a prayer
End of hope
End of love
End of time
The rest is silence

Light shines bright beyond all the cities of gold
On a road of bird song and chocolate shops
Of buskers, jugglers, innkeeper's welcoming call
The sound of mist, smell of moss-grown woods
Weaving my wings from many-colored yarns
Flying higher, higher, higher into the wild
Weaving my world into tapestry of life
Its fire, golden, in my Walden
I will taste the manna in every tree
Liquid honey and wine from the distant hills
An early morning green wood concerto
Greets my Walden with its eternal voice
Weaving my wings from many colored yarns
Flying higher, higher, higher into the wild
Weaving my world into a tapestry of life
It's fire, golden, in my Walden
Weaving my wings from many colored yarns
Flying higher, higher, higher into the wild
Weaving my world into a tapestry of life
It's fire, golden, in my Walden
Weaving my wings from many colored yarns
Flying higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher,
higher
I do not wish to evade the world
Yet I will forever build my own
Forever build my own
Forever my home
<@#Nightwish_Ocean_Soul.txt#@>
One more night
To bear this nightmare
What more do I have to say
Crying for me was never worth a tear
My lonely soul is only filled with fear
Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea
Losing emotion
Finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea
As I always wished to be - one with the waves
Ocean Soul
Walking the tide line
I hear your name
Is angels whispering
Something so beautiful it hurts
Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea
I only wished to become something beautiful
Through my music, through my silent devotion
Losing emotion
Finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea
As I always wished to be one with the waves
Ocean Soul

Princess of lust
Dignity put to dust
A virginal sight
Their apple to bite
Drink from my thighs
The rain of lies
A sight so cursed
Breasts which never nursed
An Aphrodite for mortal souls
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour my tearless weep
Their satisfaction my infinite sleep
Naked limbs reflecting from the moon
I'll be there for you soon
First wish for this night:
Let me be your delight
Body of a virgin
Soul to the Devil's kin
Your God is me
In all that you see
An Aphrodite for mortal souls
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour my tearless weep
Their satisfaction my infinite sleep
<@#Nightwish_Reach.txt#@>
Baptized with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself
War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone
You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give
Reach for the hand held heart through life
For the dancer to arrive
Reach and catch me before I fall
Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time
We reach for the ones whoever dare
You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give
Reach for the hand held heart through life
For the dancer to arrive
Reach and catch me before I fall
Reach for a friend whoever cares
For someone whoever dares
Reach to catch me when I fall
Reaching for the doubting one by heart
Hearing voices calling
Catch the one who's falling
Reach for the hand held heart through life
For the dancer to arrive
Reach and catch me before I fall
Reach for a friend whoever cares
For someone whoever dares
Reach to catch me when I fall
<@#Nightwish_Rest_Calm.txt#@>
I went to die in a seaside hotel
Lanes of memory paved by sweet frozen moments
Deathbed memories of home
Never let me go
Every little memory resting calm in me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
To caress the river with awe
Within there's every little memory resting calm with me
Resting in a dream
Smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
Rest calm and remember me
You are the moon pulling my black waters
You are the land in my dark closet
Stay by my side until it goes dark forever
When silent the silence comes closer
<@#Nightwish_Swanheart.txt#@>
All those beautiful people
I want to have them all
All those porcelain models
If only I could make them fall
Be my heart a well of love
Flowing free so far above
A wintry eve
Once upon a tale
An Ugly Duckling
Lost in a verse
Of a sparrows carol
Dreaming the stars
Be my heart a well of love
Flowing free so far above
In my world
Love is for poets
Never the famous balcony scene
Just a dying faith
On the heaven's gate
Crystal pond awaits the lorn
Tonight another morn for the lonely one is born
<@#Nightwish_The_Carpenter.txt#@>
Who are you?
Man condemned to shine a salvation
Throughout the centuries
Why?
Was the wine of the grail
Too sour for man to drink
The carpenter
Carved his anchor
On the dying souls of mankind
On the tomb of this unknown soldier
Lay the tools of the one who for us had died
Tools of the carpenter
The one they lick
The same old sick
Dream of their precious savior
Kiss them deep
And make them weep
Over promises of eternal peace
The carpenter
Carved his anchor
On the dying souls of mankind
On the tomb of this unknown soldier
Lay the tools of the one who for us had died
Tools of the carpenter
I hear you
Through the symphonic voices of nature
The purity I could never doubt
They tell me to lie on the grass
And observe my savior
The one crucified to the chirping of birds
The carpenter
Carved his anchor
On the dying souls of mankind
On the tomb of this unknown soldier
Lay the tools of the one who for us had died
Tools of the carpenter

The birds fly free on a mackerel sky
Ask me whither goes the wind
Whence the endless tick-tick stream begins
Make me guess if the earth is flat or round
Set a guessing if fantasies are unbound
If tales aren't just for children to see
That it's peace if sleep walks with me
As you wish
For kingdom come

You think you dwell in wisdoms sea
Still sweet ignorance is the key
To a poet's paradise
Challenge the Riddler and you will see..

All mothers beneath the Earth and sky
Hold their children's hands for a while
Their hearts forever - yours and mine
Make me wonder what's the meaning of life
What's the use to be born and then die
Make me guess who's the one
Behind the mask of Father and Son
As you wish
For kingdom come

Still sweet ignorance is the key

Not by the hands of where's and why's
But by the Oceans' minds

Still sweet ignorance is the key

Among the trees I saw the gates of hell
I hear that someone screams my name
Devil claims for my life
Sunlight divine give me the strength
Angels of light show me the way
Flying up in the sky, riding through the wind
Until dawn things won't change at all
Strange sensations, fighting the evil in my heart
Angels of light help me save my land
Stars guide me in this night
Light my way to fight the dark
God, I pray to you one more time
With your help I'll save my land

We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the wold
The villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

Brown baby brown baby
As you grow up I want you to drink from the plenty cup
I want you to stand up tall and proud
And I want you to speak up clear and loud
Brown baby brown baby brown baby
As years go by I want you to go with your head up high
I want you to live by the justice code
And I want you to walk down freedom's road
You little brown baby
So lie away lie away sleeping lie away singing
Lie away sleeping lie away safe in my arms
Till your daddy and you mama protect you
And keep you safe from harm
Brown baby
It makes me glad you gonna have things that I never had
When out of men's heart all hate is hurled
Sweetie you gonna live in a better world
Brown baby brown baby brown baby
<@#Nina_Simone_Cherish.txt#@>
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you
Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what
Seems to be the life that you could
Cherish as much as I do yours
Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are drivin' me out of my mind
Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize
That I want you just like a thousand other girls
Who'd say they loved you With all the rest of their lies
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you
And I do cherish you
And I do cherish you
Cherish is the word

Jimmy Webb
Do what you gotta do
Come on back see me when you can
Man I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
I've loved you better that your own kin did
From the very start it's my own fault
What happens to my heart
You see I've always known you'd go
So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can
Now I know it'll make you feel sad
And make you feel so bad
They say you don't treat me me like you should
They got ways to make you feels no good
I guess they got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the start
And man you never lied to me
The part of you that they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me
So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can

Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know.
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to
Minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.

There is a house in New Orleans
Call it the rising sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many a poor girl
And me, oh lord, I'm one
If I'd listened what my mama said
Be at home today
Bein' so young
And foolish, my Lord
Let a gambler lead me astray
My mother was a tailor
Sews new blue jeans
My sweetheart's is a drunkard, Lord
Drinks down in New Orleans
Go tell my baby sister
Never do what I have done
Shun that house in New Orleans
They call it the rising sun
Goin' back to New Orleans
Race is almost run
Goin' back to spend my life
Beneath, beneath, beneath, oh Lord
Beneath, oh now
Beneath the rising, rising sun
Now, now
You come on by

No one seems to care as much
No time to smile, laugh or cry as much
Have we lost the touch that means so much
Have we lost the human touch
No one wants to be alone
To walk or talk and sleep and weep alone
Have we lost the touch that does so much
Have we lost the human touch
Touch me now and let me know
Hold me tight so i can go
Through this misery unafraid
And really knowin' what lift is all about
No one wants to live alone
Who wants to smile, laugh or cry alone
Have we lost the touch that means so much
Have we lost the human touch
Yes, yes, yes

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,

And if that billy goat don't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,

And if that horse and cart fall down,
Well you'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

I who never had much I now have a treasure
A love too great to measure
I am blessed with happiness
And I'm done with loneliness
I who walked all alone not really knowing
Till now just where I was going
I am blessed because this day
You came show me the way
Till now I was like a grain of sand
Lost on a lonely beach
Yes till now I could never understand
That this was within my reach
I who cried to the moon see only sunshine
Because darling you're mine
I am blessed with wealth untold
A love worth more than gold
<@#Nina_Simone_I_Got_It_Bad.txt#@>
My baby never treats me
Sweet and gentle
The way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good
No, that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
'Cause I've got it bad and that ain't good
And when the weekend's over
And Monday rolls around
I end up like I start out
Just cryin' my heart out
Lord above me
Make him love me
The way he should
The way he should
Because I've got it so bad and that ain't good
I got it bad and that ain't good

She takes
Just like a woman
Yes she does
And she makes love
Just like a woman
And she aches
Just like a woman
But she breaks
Like a little girl
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows
That baby's got new clothes
Lately I see her ribbons and her bows
And the problems
From her curls
She takes
Just like a woman
Yes she does
And she makes love
Just like a woman
And she aches
Just like a woman
And she breaks
Like a little girl
It was raining from the first
Everybody knows I was dying of thirst
So I came here
Long time's curse
And what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear
Ain't it clear
I must admit
I believe it's time for us to quit
And when we meet again
Bein' introduced as friends
Please don't let on
That you knew me when
I was hungry
And it was your world
I take
Just like a woman
Yes I do
And I make love
Just like a woman
And I ache
Just like a woman
But I break
Just like a little girl...

And tell him that without him my dreams are all in vain
Just say I love him loved him from the start
And tell him that I'm yearning to say what's in my heart
Just say that I need him as roses need the rain
Tell him that without him my dreams are all in vain
If you should chance to meet him anytime anyplace anywhere
Say I was a fool to leave him
Tell him how much a fool can care
And if he tells you he's lonely now and then
Just won't you tell him that I love him
And want him back again
If you should see him anytime anyplace anywhere
Tell him I was a fool to leave him
Tell him how much a fool can care
And if he tells you he's lonely now and then
Won't you just say I love him and want him back again
Won't you just say I love him and want him back again

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do
Old girl you're through
Sit there, count your little fingers
Unhappy little girl blue.
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
Won't you just sit there
Count the little raindrops
Falling on you
Cause it's time you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use old girl
You might as well surrender
Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue

A shade veranda under Sunday blue sky
Memphis in June
And my cousin Miranda she's making a blueberry pie

Everything so peaceful and dandy
I can see my grandmama 'cross the street still a rocking
Watching all the neighbours go by oh my

Sweet oleander blowing perfume in the air everywhere
Up jumps the moon to make it so much grander
It's paradise honey take my advice honey
Cos there's nothing like old Memphis in June

So near to you, always near to you
As near as April is to may
Can't you feel me there, in my favourite chair
Staring at the fireplace?
Oh so near to you, always near to you
Even now it seems we're face to face
But it is just if though I was standing before you
Telling you how much I adore you
If I'm really dear to you, near to you
We may be far apart and yet
If I'm in your heart, really in your heart
How near to you can I get

When life seems full of clouds and rain
I am filled with an awkward pain
Who soothes my aching, thumping brain?
Nobody
When winder comes with snow and sleet
I'm so tired
with cold feet
Who says, "Here's two bits, Nina
Go and eat?"
Nobody
I ain't don't nothing
To nobody
I ain't never got nothing
From from nobody
No time
And until I get me something
Yes, from somebody sometime,
Well, I don't intend to do nothing
For nobody
No time
Then winter comes all cold and clear
My friends they see me coming near
Who says, "Come on in, child, and have a beer?"
No-body
When all day long things go amiss
I go on find some bliss
Who hands to me a golden kiss?
Nobody
I ain't ever done nothing
To no-body
I ain't ever got nothing
From no-body no time
And until I get me something
From somebody somebody

Rags old iron rags old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
I heard that old rag man now making his rounds
He came right to my alley Lord with sorrowful sounds
Crying rags old iron and pulling his cart
Ask him how much he'd give me for my broken heart
Rags old iron rags old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
So I asked that old rag man how much he would pay
For a heart that was broken baby when you went away
For a burnt out old love light that no longer beams
And a couple of slightly used second hand dreams
Rags old iron rags old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
For those big empty promises you used to make
For those memories of you that are no longer sweet
I wish he could haul them off down the street
Rags old iron rags old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
When love doesn't last tell me what is it worth
It was once mama's most precious possession on earth
When I asked that old rag man if he'd like to buy
He just shook his head and continued to cry
Rags old iron rags old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
Rags old iron rags old iron
Rags old iron rags old iron rags old iron

<@#Nina_Simone_Stars.txt#@>
I was never one for singing what I really feel
Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real
Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory
Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
We can shake it away, if you'll hear a story
People lust for fame like athletes in a game,
we break our collarbones and come up swinging,
some of us are downed
some of us are crowned, and some are lost and never found
But most have seen it all,
they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
They always come up singing
Some make it when they're young,
before the world has done its dirty job
and later on someone will say
"You've had your day, now you must make way"
But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned
or the many years forgetting what you know too well
That the ones who gave the crown have been let down
You try to make amends without defending
Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five
that follow as you walk and ask for autographs
Or kiss you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you
Some make it when they're old
(Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
or perhaps there's nothing there)
Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory
But most have seen it all,
they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
They always have a story
Some women have a body men will want to see
and so they put it on display
Some people play a fine guitar, I could listen to them play all day
Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance
I guess I could learn how, if I gave it half a chance
But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar
And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord
I guess there isn't anything to put up on display
Except the tunes, and whatever else I say
But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say
I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day
Stars, they come and go, they're coming fast they come slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory
But most have seen it all,
who live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
And we always have a story
So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around
I'll come up singing for you, even when I'm down
<@#Nine_Inch_Nails_And_All_That_Could_Have_Been.txt#@>
Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I'll disappear
Tracks will fade in the snow
You won't find me here
Ice is starting to form
Ending what had begun
I am locked in my head
With what I've done
I know you tried to rescue me
Didn't let anyone get in
Left with a trace of all that was
And all that could have been
Please, take this
And run far away, far away from me
I am tainted
The two of us were never meant to be
All these pieces and promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything, everything to me
Gone
Fading
Everything
And
All that
Could have been
Could have been
Please, take this
And run far away, far as you can see
I am tainted
And happiness and peace of mind
Were never meant for me
All these pieces and promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything, everything to me

Empty spaces, as if it was an invitation
Your invasion, exceeding every expectation

Fitting in my new skin, just tell me what to do

Watch the sun
As it crawls across a final time
And it feels like
Like it was a friend
It is watching us
And the world we set on fire
Do you wonder
If it feels the same?
And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
As your time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
You can find a better a place
In this twilight
Dust to dust
Ashes in your hair remind me
What it feels like
And I won't feel again
Night descends
Could I have been a better person?
If I could only do it all again...
And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
And the longing that you feel
You know none of this is real
You will find a better a place
In this twilight

That part of me isn't here anymore
All pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
Drowns out all I hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness
That me that you know used to have feelings
But the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
The me that you know is now made up of wires
And even when I'm right with you I'm so far away
I can try to get away but I've strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all my bad parts
I don't want to listen but it's all too clear
Hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away
It won't give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
<@#Nine_Inch_Nails_Vessel.txt#@>
I let you put it in my mouth
I let it get under my skin
I let you pump it through my veins
I let you take me from within
They tell us what we can and cannot do
Same thing we've heard a hundred times before
The way I put you inside of me
None of that matters anymore
My god, can we go any faster?
Oh my god, I don't think I can last here
My god, can we go any faster?
Oh my god, I don't think I can last here
I am you, and you are me
You will never be alone
But I have finally found my place in everything
I have finally found my home
I can leave all the best behind
I can see right through the whole facade
I am becoming something else
I am turning into god
My god, can we go any faster?
Oh my god, I don't think I can last here
My god, can we go any faster?
Oh my god, I don't think I can last here
(I don't think I can)
My god, can we go any faster?
Oh my god, I don't think I can last here
My god, can we go any faster?
Oh my god, I don't think I can last here

What's a season in a right if you can't have anything?
What's the reason in a rhyme if a plan means anything?
What's the meaning in a crime, it's a fan if anything?
Where's the meaning in a line? It's a brand, it's a brand
How a culture comes again, it's yesterday
And you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyway
They're only here to talk to friends, nothing new is everyday
You could shit upon the stage, they'll be fans
They'll be fans, they'll be fans, they'll be fans
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Steal a sound and imitate, uniform and equally
Not an ode, just the facts, where our world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, it doesn't matter anyways

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland
Sally ,take my hand
Travel south crossland
Put out the fire
Don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older
Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland

Oh, oh

They're all wasted!

Make enough of the words for you to follow along

Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still haven't had my fulfill
In the someday what's that sound?
Broken heart and broken bones
Think about some capsules of horse pills
One more quirky cliched phrase
You're the one I wanna refill
In the someday what's that sound?
Most people don't realize
That two large pieces of coral,
Painted brown, and attached to his skull
With common wood screws can make a child look like a deer

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught
My heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
When we've been here a thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

In 1814 we took a little trip,
Along with colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississippi.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,
And we fought the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin',
There wasn't 'bout as many as there was awhile ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the gulf of Mexico.
Oh we looked down the river and we seen the british come.
There must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on a drum.
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring.
We stood behind our cotton bales and didn?t say a thing.
Old hickory said we could take 'em by surprise,
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyes.
We held our fire till we seen their faces well,
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave 'em a little, well, we
Fired our guns and the British kept a comin',
There wasn't 'bout as many as there was awhile ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the gulf of Mexico.
We fired our cannons till the barrels melted down,
Then we grabbed an alligator and we fired another round.
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind,
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin',
There wasn't 'bout as many as there was awhile ago.

I gotta bent up truck, gotta fix-it-up
So I set it on the backyard lawn
Put the radio loud in the window
I tuned it into rock
Now I'm patiently waitin' on music
But the dj rambled and sang
And it was blowin' in a brass sky
But it won't rain
A bright-eyed woman on the hour
Brings a glass of tea
And I can tell she's as pretty as a flower
When she comes to me
She winds away the water
From my eyes and soothes my brain
And it was blowin' in a brass sky
But it won't rain
And it won't rain for tryin'
And it won't rain for beans
There's fear in the sky
A big storm is what it means
Waitin' out the weather
By workin' on the truck
We get to hang out together
Can't believe this luck
Glass is fine by the hour
But don't match with mine
It got wrecked playin' sailor in the shower
Last Christmas time
The song's written in another language
But the weather forecast is plain
It was blowin' in a brass sky
But it won't rain
And it won't rain for tryin'
And it won't rain for beans
Well it's a bad day for flyin'
But they won't fly with me
Starin' at the boats and planes
That are stayin' on the ground
Another won't leave it's hidin'
Til the wind turns 'round
A bright-eyed woman in the kitchen
Cooks up a kiss of death
Boilin' up mango, crab and coconut
And includin' cinnamon bread
But she drops the pan and says
Paranoia is out and breeds like a runaway train
And it was blowin' in a brass sky
But it won't rain
And it won't rain for tryin'
And it won't rain for beans
Well it's a bad day for flyin'
They won't fly with me, no
Starin' at the boats and planes
Stayin' on the ground
Another won't leave it's hidin'
Til the wind turns 'round

I can still remember my first guitar
Bright and shiny like a brand new car
Even took it with me when I went to school
And I practiced every day till I got real good
I learned every lick on the radio
From Wabash Cannon to Go Johnny Go
I majored in rhythm with a minor in blues
Then I hit the road with my blue suede shoes
[Chorus]
And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night
Standing where my heroes stood
Hillbilly Hollywood
I played some bars where you never want to go
From Oklahoma City down to Tupelo
My ears would be ringing like an old fire bell
When I'd lay me down in some cheap hotel
[Chorus]
And I pray before too long
They will hear my song
And I dreamed of seeing my name in lights
Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night
Standing where my heroes stood
I dreamed grand old Opry on a Saturday night standing

I don't need the same excuses
All this talk is really useless
You run for cover
Everytime I'm close to you
Don't want to hear about the others
There's something here we should discover
Let's make a little magic
Before the night is through
Oh, you've seen it all before
And heard the same lines,
But if you're willing to take a chance
It could be all right, so fine
We'll find ourselves dancing by firelight.
So don't you try to change the subject
Or try to put yourself above it,
A boy could get pneumonia sitting next to you
That's true
A little sleep is all we're losing
It's up to us to do the choosing
Let's make a little magic before the night is through
Make a little magic before the night is through
Ooh, to the blue skies
Where no one can reach us
It may sound crazy but just hold on tight,
Never has a love run deeper
Baby my heart is true
Baby my heart is true
A little sleep is all we're losing
It's up to us to do the choosing
Let's make a little magic before the night is through

Nights I won't remember

Now I worry where you're walkin'
I guess the shoe's on another foot
Ohoh a little more pain and I'll know it
A little more hurt, I'll know it's love
Over and over til it's over
Drives me crazy, it must be love
Lately I'm hearin' rumors
You've been makin' serious plans
Should I have held you when I had you
Right here in the palm of my hand

This much heartache, it must be love
Ohoh a little more pain and I'll know it

Now let's go one step over the line

Your daddy never went this far
Baby we know who we are
Let's go one step over the line

We could make those tires squeal
Ooo I like the way it feels
Takin' it one step over the line
One step forward and two steps back
It's for the first time baby
I'm talkin' cake walkin' into the black
A crossin' red line and I don't mean maybe
I hear they buried lover's lane
In a sea of tears and blame
It's you and me go up in flames
Baby, one step over the line
They're drawin' boxes on the ground
Just to make us look on down
All we gotta do is look around
And take it one step over the line

Eyes like the beacons on a rocketship

She baits her hook and she reels'em in
She's got a black leather jacket, with a patch on the back
No imitation cajun gonna get to that
Got a red bandana and a rose tattoo
She got a mind of her own, nobody tells her what to do
Diamonds, pearls hey hey hey
They're for all the other girls
Some women just don't need'em
You can keep'em
She goes putt putt, that's my queen
Putt putt, on her big machine
Putt putt, when the light turns green
Putt putt, she's so mean
Nothin' can stop my queen of the road
Now if you wanna roll the dice, you can try your luck
She can melt the ice of an ice cream truck
Can't holler uncle, when you've had enough
Her own brother won't fight her, cause the girl's so tough
Devil of an angel, she's a one of a kind
She's got a knucklehead harley and a one track mind
Roadhouse reputation everywhere she goes
As a big sled rider, she's a queen of the road
From Pamona to Daytona, hey hey
And every highway in-between
There's not a one of'em she ain't seen
Wooh you know what I mean
And.. [Chorus:]
Now when the party's over and the lights come on
Don't have to try to find her cause the girl is gone
She slithered into second and away she goes
My motorheaded mama is the queen of the road

Since I lost your affection
And love left town

So roll that stone away

But we could have been better
And the best is what we're after
When it comes right down to love
You were always the strong one
Bright as the setting sun
Go shine somewhere else my love
Some brand new world (some brand new world)

Along about eighteen twenty-five
I left Tennessee very much alive
And I never would have gotten through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a-ridin that Tennessee stud
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa
And one of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fud
And I rode away on the Tennessee stud
Chorus:
The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
A-He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a hoss like the Tennessee stud
We drifted on down into no man's land
We crossed that river called the Rio Grande
I raced my hoss with the Spaniard's foal
Till I got me a skin full of silver and gold
Me and the gambler we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
We jerked our guns, and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee stud
The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
A-He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a hoss like the Tennessee stud
Well I got just as lonesome as a man can be
A-Dreaming of my girl in Tennessee
The Tennessee stud's green eyes turned blue
Cause he was a-dreamin' of his sweetheart, too
We loped right back across Arkansas
I whoop her brother and I whoop her pa
When I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was A-ridin' that Tennessee mare (whoa, boy)
The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a hoss like the Tennessee stud
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
We crossed them mountains and the valleys wide
We came into Big Muddy then we forded a flood
On the Tennessee mare and the Tennessee stud
There's a pretty little baby on the cabin floor
A little hoss colt playin' 'round the door
I love the girl with golden hair
And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare (They'se good hosses)
The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
And he had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a hoss like the Tennessee stud

All aboard in Montreal
I heard the conductor call
That old engine heaved a sigh
Suitcases and shuffling feet
I found my way to a windo seat
I love to watch the world go by
Made friends with a family
Bound for Sault Ste Marie
They said good bye at Sudbury Junction
Guess I hated to see 'em go
Thought about 'em as it started to snow
Time stops for nothing or no one
This train keeps rollin along
From here to the great beyond
black somke, pistons churn
steel rails, big wheels turn
This train keeps rolling along
Across the endless plrairie land
Mighty buffalo used to stand
The Cree and the Blackfoot lived and died
??? the Rockies, nestled in the trees,
I fell in love with Lake Louise
smiling with her sparkling emerald eyes
Soon we'll reach the sea
and there I'll stand
With nothing but the blue between me and japan
Now I'm at the end of the line,
Out of track, out of time,
Conductor makes his final round
All the people and places past
They went by just a little too fast
How I wishI could've slowed this engine down.
This train keeps rollin along
From here to the great beyond
black somke, pistons churn
steel rails, big wheels turn
This train keeps rolling along

And how to get it back

Explain how difficult it is to hold your hand

In a strong embrace
And between your temple and your eye I hide my face

Explain the way to blue

And why it cannot last

Everything's opened

Don't forget your bag
Don't drag your feet
But leave your memories

But I know life is not a movie
Will he be here like his letter said?

Tell me it'll never fade
And I'll go forth unafraid
'Cause I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Show me rain and flood
To cool the fire in my blood
'Cause I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know why, I don't know how
If I can fly, can I fly now?
Are my wings strong enough to bear
The winds out there?

Who knows how long I've loved you?
You know I love you still
I would wait a lonely life-time
If you want me to, I will
And if I ever met you
I did not catch your name
But it doesn't really matter
Cause I love you all the same
I will love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever were together
Love you when were apart
And now, at last, I've found you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
Cause the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know I will,
I will

He's so compassionate
He's oh so kind
All in peace, he says
All in time
He's wrapped in wisdom
And wisdom he speaks
So compassionate that I could freak
Time is running out on him
God is out to lunch
Time is running out on his decision
Every day that passes
Proves that God has lost his glasses...
Or could it be that tears
Have blurred his vision
He's so compassionate
He's oh so kind
All in peace, he says
All in time
He's wrapped in wisdom
From his head down to his feet
So compassionate but oh so weak
Time is running out on him
God is out to lunch
Time is running out on his decision
Every day that passes
Proves that God has lost his glasses...
Or could it be that tears
Have blurred his vision
He's so compassionate
It's all for their sake
Well, I don't know philosophy
But I do know ache
This ache is bigger
Than words on TV
So compassionate
How can he be?
Now that time is running out on him
God is out to lunch
Time is running out on his decision
Every day that passes
Proves that God has lost his glasses...
Or could it be that tears
Have blurred his vision
<@#Noa_Long_Coat_In_Winter.txt#@>
Grow into me like a vine through a sidewalk
Struggling to reach for the sky
Grow into me like the veins on my forehead
that stand out whenever I cry
Oh, I will wrap my arms around you like a long coat in winter
Oh, will you stay with me on thinning ice and trust me to lead?
Will you be everything I need?
Climb next to me up the trail, up the mountain
Even though times running out
Night falls around, there's no light in the distance
Only my shadows of doubt
Oh, I will wrap my arms around you like a long coat in winter
Oh, will you stay with me on thinning ice and trust me to lead?
Will you be everything I need?
Will you be everything I need?
<@#Noa_Millimeter.txt#@>
there is no space
in the millimeter between me and you
and the light turns suddenly blue
in the millimeter between you and me
I can see
a snapshot of an orange childhood
and you told me, come, come close
look at the sun setting into the sea
and you told me come, come close
the millimeter between them both
holds all of the dreams in the world
in the kilometer between me and you
no flowers bloom
and a cold white light fills the room
a speedometer with broken arms
cannot supply
the numbers that I need to fly
and you told me, come, come close
look at the sun setting into the sea
and you told me come, come close
the millimeter between them both
holds all of the dreams in the world
in the millimeter between pen and page
nothing's new
the same old soul I've had for years
I give to you
the millimeter 'bove the brow
cannot hide
the vast and hollow space
inside
<@#Noa_Mushrooms.txt#@>
Sometimes I am pitted and bare
Like a small bookstore after a fire
I know I'll find no harbor there
The stormy waves keep getting higher
Sometimes I am washed of color
Like a drawing on the sidewalk after rain
And I know the time is right now
To give birth to words again
Big Mushroom over the city
Police are running tests
Little Mushroom
She was found
Squeezed in with all the rest
Sometimes there is no road
Like the Day of Atonement in a car
And everything looks different with
A broken heart
Big Mushroom over the city
Police are running tests
Little Mushroom
She was found
Squeezed in with all the rest
Sometimes I am numb of anger
Like the Square where memory will wane
And I try to find comfort in written words
For this burning pain
Big Mushroom over the city
Police are running tests
Little Mushroom
She was found
Squeezed in with all the rest
Big Mushroom over the city
Who's to tell the futures course?
Little Mushroom
She was found
Far away from the forest.
<@#Noa_My_Heart_Calling.txt#@>
Tell me who I am
Tell me what I'm hearing
Is it God or man
Leads us to our fate
Tears cried through the night
So much we've been fearing
I know I can fight
Soon will be too late
It's my heart calling
It's my heart calling
It's my heart seeing
What it wants to see
It's my heart crying
It's my heart flying
It's my heart trying
To set me free
Darkness turns to light
While my soul is healing
I know I must fight
This war deep inside
It's my heart calling
It's my heart calling
It's my heart seeing
What it wants to see
It's my heart crying
It's my heart flying
It's my heart trying
To set me free
Waving banners, swinging swords
Queens and kings, and other lords
And the battles of our pride
Greed and hunger deep inside
All the sorrow born of pain
Cruelty and cruelty again
Who will stop this vicious spin
Open arms and let love in
Open arms and let love in
Open arms and let love in
Open arms and let love in

But unsure of my ploy...
How can I bear the burden
Of a perfect joy?
Can my eyes contain the light?
I'm delirious and weak
How to keep from shattering
The happiness that all men seek?
How can I keep my feet on board

I want to stand up tall, oh Lord
And bear the yolk of perfect bliss

Now
There is light coming in
Through the crack in the door
Now
There is hope
Where i' d never expect it before
Now
There are so many things
But there' s nothing at all
Now
You are learning to stand
I am learning to fall.
Now
As the air in the night
Becomes cooler and sweet
Now
I get up seven times
Just to cover his feet
Now
There is pain
But i' ve packed it away for next year
Now
There is newness and grace and for now,
There' s no fear.
Then
I can hardly remember what then used to be
Then
There was someone I knew
Looked exactly like me
I was running and running
With so much to boast
And I had no idea
What matters the most
Now
As the air in the night
Becomes cooler and sweet
Now
I get up seven times
Just to cover his feet
Now
There is pain
But i' ve packed it away for next year
Now
There is newness and grace and for now,
There' s no fear.
Later
When all of this has turned to songs
And faded pics
Later
When colored wooden blocks
Turn into heavy bricks
Later
When you will greet me only
With the shyest smile
Who knows what later brings?
And so meanwhile..
Now
There is light coming in
Through the crack in the door
Now
There is hope
Where i' d never expect it before
Now
There are so many things
But there' s nothing at all
Now
You are learning to stand
I am learning to fall.

Give me your sorrow
Give me your loneliness

And your worry

Give me your past

Give me the walls you build
And the ones you break
Your shadows
And your longing
Now forget.

All that will be
But isn't yet
Now forget,
Now forget.
Ill put it all
In a small wooden box
With the rusty old lock
And the sparrows in flight
Ill guard it with my life
Through the long long night
You are my eyes
You are my passion
You are my journey to where I've been
You are my reason
For living
Now forget
Now forget.
Ill put it all
In a small wooden box
With the rusty old lock
And the sparrows in flight
Ill guard it with my life
Through the long long night
Give me your truth
Give me your questions
Give me your longing for what will be
Give me your daydreams
And your demons

I ran into God in a small cafe
Through cigarette smoke he appeared to me
Apologetic and blaze
He said: life is still worth living (you'll see)
He didn't look anything like my lover
Dejected, slightly out of place
Like shadows of constellation
He could hardly fill up space
But in the reddish twilight, hurried
To confess before the fall
Kiss the feet of all man-kind
And beg forgiveness of us all
<@#Noa_Terminal_(Bonus_Track).txt#@>
Lyrics and Music: Me'ir Ariel
Translated by Noa
Upon release, the doctors recommended a monthly
Visit to the aviation pier,
It does me good to see a big steel bird
Taking off through a transparent tear
So now I'm feeling better, less pressure on
The laundered eye, a little less to fear.
I choose a positive afternoon,
The airport's straight ahead
I tell myself on the way down there:
"could this be another addiction to dread?"
Myself replies, with a glimmer in her eyes:
"we could always do push-ups instead".
Terminal, je t'aime, I love you terminal, bella mia.
The doors guess my intentions
And slide to let me in
I take my steppin' slowly
With a ritual back-side swing,
Intercontinental jive
Is live and tickling
I gotta calm down in the lavatoire
I look into the mirror, a maniac looks back
Terminal's a chick like all chicks are
I know at least a dozen girls like that
She's standing there, with her short cropped hair,
Like something suspicious aboard swissair
A real bomb-shell,
Her earring hook,
The security guard gives her penetrating look.
Terminal, je t'aime, I love you terminal, bella mia.
I gotta find a flight, but I don't know how!
Rome through zurich is leaving about now
Polite pager lady telling me it's time
Deep inside I've made up my mind
Polite pager is getting uptight
I gotta go upstairs and see my flight!
Inside, my passion's burning bright!
She's running now, she's flying high
Taking off into the blood-red sky
Reflected in this tearful joker's eyes
Terminal, je t'aime, I love you terminal, bella mia.
It's all a joke, I say to me
Then suddenly I hear the boom!
Explosion tears the sky apart
A panicked flurry fills the room
And so I turn and take a bow
I think I'm feeling better now.
Upon release, the doctors recommended a monthly
Visit to the aviation pier,
It really does me good to see a big steel bird
Take off through a transparent tear,
After that the pressure's not so bad
There's so much less to fear
<@#Noa_Today.txt#@>
Here we are again
After everything has happened
Only you and me
And the light is fading fast
Who would have believed
When the tiny seed was planted
This would be the year
When the rain would come at last
Every passing hour
Changes us
But I love you more than any day before today
Today
Listen to my heart
As it stutters like the raindrops
Let me fill my soul
With the beauty of your eyes
I may be a fool
But I always want to hold you
Tenderly I say
You give reason to my life
Every passing hour
Changes us
But I love you more than any day before today
Today

How does my north connect to my south
How does my heart connect to my mouth
How does my skin connect to my soul?
Is the sum of my parts
Anything whole?
What do my eyes reveal of my dreams
How can I laugh when inside I scream
How does my song connect to my name?
Can they be ever
One and the same?
N I want you
N I need you
N I, n I, ninininineed you
N I want you
N I need you
N I n I n I
And I want to set my insides loose
Come to terms and sign a truce
If I can't find the mystery code
How will I ever
Carry this load?
N I want you...
And I know you're getting tired of the fight
To connect my left side with your right
To connect two arms and legs and all four chambers
Of the heart
And understand forever - who we are.
How can we live with anguish and fear
How can we shelter all that is dear
How can we take our fate in our hand?
I'm talkin' to you -
You'll understand.
That I want you, n I need you
N I, n I, ninininineed you....
The universe begins with you and I
Universe begins with you. N. I.

Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Think of what you're saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.

<@#Noa_Wildflower.txt#@>
In a tenement near the Henry Hudson River
From my favorite spot on a rusting fire escape
I would look below.
And see Mario
Braving the ferocious dandelions
Mario, our fearless superintendent
Kept the garden green, despite the parkway smog
But the flowering weeds
Their fates decreed
Pulled, to keep his rosebush from dying
Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed
Something strong was pulling at my head
Pulling at my heart
Wild flower, growing in all the wrong places
Wild flower, so lonely 'neath that lovely rose bush
Proper garden's nightmare, queen of opened fields
Tell me, who will love this wildflower
For exactly what she is?
Years passed by, we left that red brick building
Left Mario behind
For a brand new house
But my dark brown skin
On the white washed walls within
Stood out, so it'd get me up and cryin'
My growing pains had many rooms to fill, then
Mother never knew
She had a garden to keep clean
While there was NY grease
On her young flower from the Middle East
She was busy pulling dendelions
Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed
Something strong was pulling at my head
Pulling at my heart
Wild flower, growing in all the wrong places
Wild flower, so lowly 'neath that lovely rosebush
Proper garden's nightmare, queen of opened fields
Tell me, who will love this wildflower
For exactly what she is?

In your message you said, you were goin' to bed,
But I'm not done with the night.
So I stayed up and read, but your words in my head,
Got me mixed up so I turned out the light.
And I, don't know how, to slow it down.
My mind's racing from chasing pirates.
Well the man in there swings while the silliest things,
Floppin' around in my brain.
And I try not to dream but them possible schemes,
Swim around, wanna drown me insane.
And I, don't know how, to slow it down.
Oh my mind's racing from chasing pirates.

Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a fire, then you know just what to do
Blow a tire, you can get another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done
Don't try hiding, 'cause there isn't any use
You will start sliding, when your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done

Comes depression, you may get another break

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
Oh I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying

I don't miss you at all
I hear children playin', laughin' so loud
I don't think of your smile
So if you never come to me
You'll stay a distant memory
Out my window I see lights going dark
Your dark eyes don't haunt me
And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand
And then I wonder who I am

Upon my lips
And he begs me to please keep still

But soon
This dance will be endin'
And you're gonna be missed
Gee, I'm not pretendin'

We're gonna find romance

We separate our things to put us back together

Put our hands together to plough obey
It's like a show was over
But we're too scared to walk away
All for the better
Worst for the way
We're light as a feather
Got you and I together
Meanwhile inside of me it was rainin' storms, hm,
You didn't know, hm

And your mind just picked up on the sound
Now you know that you're wrong
Because it drifts like smoke
And it's been there playing all along
Now you know
Now you know
The reeds and the brass have been waving
Leading into a single note
In this place
Where you're arms unfold
Here at last I see your ancient face

Plays it over and then goes

When an old friend I just happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
And I knew just how much I had lost
I have lost my little darlin'

The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was lightning from the top of a cloud
Moving through the dark a million miles an hour
With somewhere to be
So why does it seem
Like a picture
Hanging up on someone else's wall
Lately I just haven't been myself at all
It's heavy on my mind
I'm dreamin' again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I know
The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was dusty as the handle on the door
Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor
Looks like home to me
I'm dreamin' again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I'm thinkin' of the prettiest thing
<@#Norah_Jones_Thinking_About_You.txt#@>
Yesterday I saw the sun shinin'
And the leaves were fallin' down softly
My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch
And I was thinkin' about you
But here I am lookin' for signs of leaving
You hold my hand, but do you really need me?
I guess it's time for me to let you go
And I'll be thinkin' about you
I'll be thinkin' about you
When you sail across the ocean waters
And you reach the other side safely
Could you smile a little smile for me?
'Cause I'll be thinkin' about you
I'll be thinkin' about you

[Intro]
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
[Verse 1]
He was only 25
Had an open heart and tender mind
He sang through all the hymns he knew
He was searching for a higher sign
When his water was turned to wine
All the darkness became light
Babies and a patient wife
They just weren't enough to keep him high
So he gave them up
Just to fill his cup
Every sip would make him feel alive
No bones in his body were dry
[Chorus]
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
[Verse 2]
Now he's finally coming around
He's got wrinkles and a crooked frown
He holds back tears thinking of the years
That the bottle had a long time, down
So he'd sit and have another round
Singing Hallelujah till he drowns
[Chorus]
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy

You've ruined me now
But I liked it
But I'm ruined
Do you have a plan
Cause I'm in your hands
You've ruined me now
Though I liked it
Now, I'm ruined
I had no choice
When I heard your voice
I know you said
"Can't be misled"
Now I'm the one
Whose face is red
You've ruined me now
Though I liked it
Now, I'm ruined, your chocolate eyes
Like buttons of lies
You've ruined me now
Though I liked it
Now, I'm ruined
I'm trying to part
With what's in my heart
You've ruined me and how
I thought I liked it
But I'm ruined
My whole world's now
Turned upside down
I heard me say,
"I'm going away"
But now I write
You everyday
You heard me say
"I'm going away"
But I'm on the floor
Outside your door
You've ruined me now
You've ruined me now
You've ruined me now
But I liked it
But I'm ruined
Do you have a plan
Cause I'm in your hands

Now when I'm fucking off gin I'm invincible
Don't love no ho, that's my principle
Cause uh, bitches come [and uh] bitches go
That's why I get my nut and I be out the fucking door
[You know] they might be the one to set me up
Want to get they little brother to wet me up
That's why I tote Tecs and stuff to get them off my case
Just in case the little fucker ends up misplaced
I don't give a bitch enough to catch the bus
And when I see the semen I'm leaving
Bitches be scheming, I kid you not
That's why I keep my windows locked and my Glock cocked
One ho said, "Big, why you so hard on us?
Why you swear all bitches are so scandalous?"
Thug nigga until the end, tell a friend bitch
Cause when I like you, then you go and fuck my friend bitch
(And you know that ain't right)
You know that ain't right, with a friend of mine
You see, I don't sweat these hoes
I keep them in flavors like Timbos and Girbauds
Bitches just like to play the merry-go
[Yeah we know, drop the scenario]
It was me, Dee, the MPV
The blunts and brew thang, knocking some Wu-tang
M-E-T-H-Oh shit, look at them lips and them hips on that bitch
Dee hit the dip, so I can drop my mackadocious shit
Light the blunt clip, and recognize a pimp
Needless to speak, the G's obsolete
Don't sleep, banged the skins in a week
On the creep up the avenue
I seen her on the block, who she rapping to?
That's my nigga Dee, damn he got G
Now she fucking him and fucking me, see
You know that ain't right
You know that ain't right, with a friend of mine
Uh now I play her far like a moon play a star
She still sweat me hard cause I'm a rap star
I be cruising up the block, I be passing her
Pimping hard with the female passenger
And the only time I call her to hang
Is when me and Dee blunted up, pissy, scheming on a gang-bang
She should have used her intuition
Then she wouldn't be classified in that position, listen
She's saying I dissed her cause I'm fucking her sister
A message to the fellas, that really gets them pissed, uh
But she started that fucking family
She fucked my man Dee, so why she mad at me? (True)
Plus your sister look better than you
Give head better than you, pussy get wetter than you
So break the fuck out like a rash
I'm glad I ain't spend no cash to hit your nasty ass

As a child Christopher was outspoken when it suited him at times he was quiet
And of course he was mischievous as all little boys are as a young man he
likes
To do everything he liked to read he likes to be with his friends as young
kids
Are young boys he enjoyed life everything that would make him happy are
comfortable
He would do but mostly he enjoyed being with his friends and family his early
Inspirations toward rap music were the LLs of the world the sugar hills the
Mr.
Magic's and the fat boys of the rap channel those were all the things I heard
in
The house even though I called it noise and banging I know now that it is a
Accepted musical art form I was a single parent I raised my son on my own his
Father had no influence on his decision towards the musical outlet are career
he
Chose my son had a mind of his own even if his father was around he would have
Turned to rap he loved music he loved rap at a point in my sons life he
Developed paranoia about death and about the dying we are living in a world of
I'm
Perfect human beings we are greed jealousy and envy or manifested by what
Others have accomplished in life my son was very very much aware of that he
Appreciated his station in life on the directions in which he was going are
Traveling on the other hand there were others who I should uhh use the hip hop
Phrase player hating and I think that is what resulted in his paranoia if I
had
To change anything in my sons life that would have allowed him to be here
Today I would have deterred him from a career in music I'm aware that millions
Appreciated his music millions loved his music be that it may if he hadn't
Chosen that life style that career my son would be alive today if I could sum
Up Christopher in one word the word would be generous th thing that my son
Loved most about life was the fact that he was in a position to help position
To share position to give to others who needed to others who wanted to others
Appreciated the gifts that he gave that's what he loved most

Call that big butt nurse with the long hair to come suck my dick
(Bad Boy Big, c'mon)
The doctor said I need about three weeks of recovery
But the nurses is loving me
Saying the best part of the day is my half
Feeding me breakfast, and giving me a sponge bath
Niggas say I died dead in the streets
Nigga I'm getting high, getting head on the beach
Chilling, sitting on about half a million
With all my niggas, all my guns, all my women
Next two years, I should see about a billion
All for the love of drug dealin
Got no love for the other side, fuck them tricks (fuck them)
Any repercussion, Junior M.A.F.I.A. spit clips (that's right)
All the time, Big Poppa kick the war rhymes
Raw flows, and that's how it goes

No, NO, NO, Notorious!
He is.. he is..
No, No, No, Notorious!
This for my niggaz slingin thangs, had my ring encaged
Truck, necklace, igloo ring and things
For the bitches, who see them rims spin and grin
That shit with the V-trim that win
And the enormous fields disperse of rap
On the road to the riches more furs to drag
More niggaz to kill, than birds to bag
Hit the jeweler and splurge the tab, uh
Hops, out the truck like, "Trick, what up?"
Call me Sean if you suck, call me gone when I nut
That's the end of us, get your friend to fuck
Untwist and bend her up, you know the deal
Niggaz talkin real greasy on some ballin shit (that's right)
Funny how quick these pricks forget
Actin like I ain't the reason they traded they shit
Switched that 5, copped that 6 (that's right)
It's all good, you know who the clone is
Fuck the Jones's, niggas trying to keep up with the Combses
C'mon y'all

That's me, on MTV, no doubt
Titty out like what, I don't give a fuck!
Y'all know my attitude, can't stand my cologne
Then stay your ass home, you and your chaperon
Things done changed, but we continue to reign
As the King and the Queen of hip-hop, me and B.I.
Frank White still listen to all the attention
I'm by his side, with the chrome fifth, playing my position
Sexy, young thing, from the ghetto
That bitch rocking mics in high heel stilettos
We taking over like Francis
Switching our styles like the hottest new dancers
See, I let y'all live to stack a little paper
Be glad I pushed my album back, I did y'all hoes a favor!
She did you a favor, c'mon now, yeah

I'm sittin in the crib dreamin about Leer jets and coupes
The way Salt shoops and how they sell records like Snoop
Oops!
I'm interrupted by a doorbell
3:52, who the hell
Is this?
I gets up quick
Cocks my shit
Stop the dogs from barkin
Then proceed to walkin
Its a face that I seen before
My nigga Sing, we used to sling on the 16th floor
Check it
I look deeper
I see blood up on his sneakers
And his fist gripped a chrome four-fifth
So I dip
Nigga, is you creepin or speakin?
He tells me see-Rock just got hit up at the beacon
I opens up the door, pitiful
Is he in critical?
Retaliation for this one won't be minimal
'Cause I'm a criminal
Way before the rap shit
Bust the gat shit
Puff won't even know what happened,
If it's done smoothly
Silencers on the Uzi
Stash in the hooptie
My alibi, any cutie
With a booty that don't fuck the Pop
Head spinnin, reminiscin bout my man see-Rock
[Chorus: x 2]
Somebody's gotta die
If I got, you gotta go
Somebody's gotta die
Let the gunshots blow
Somebody's gotta die
Nobody gotta know
That I killed yo ass in the mist, kid
Fillin' clips he explained our situation
Precisely, so we know exactly what we facin
Some kid named Jason
In a highway station, raggin
Was braggin
About how much loot and crack he stackin
Rock had a grip so they formed up a clique
Small crew
'Round the time I was locked up with you
True indeed
But yo nigga let me proceed
Don't fill them clips too high
Give them bullets room to breathe
Damn where was I?
Yeah
One night in town
Blew the fuck up
D-Rock went home
And Jay got stuck the fuck up
Hit 'em twice
Got 'em right for the virgin white
Pistol whipped his kids
And taped up his wife
He said "Yo Rock, set em up", no question
Wet em up no less
Than 50 shots in his direction
How many shots?
Man nigga, I seen mad holes
What kinda gats?
Hitch links, Cocks, and Calicoles
But fuck that
I know where all them niggas rest at
In the buildin hustlin
And they don't be strapped
Supreme in black
Is downstairs, the engine runnin
Find a bag to put the guns in
And see'mon if yo comin
[Chorus]
Exchanged hugs and pounds before the throw down
How its gonna go down
Lay these niggas low-down
Slow down
Fuck all that plannin shit
Run up in they cribs
And make em catch the man n shit
See niggas like you do ten year bids
Miss the niggas they want
And murder innocent kids
Not I
One niggas in my eye
That's Jason
Ain't no slugs gonna be wasted
Revenge I'm tastin at the tip of my lips
I can't wait to feel my clip in his hips
Pass the chocolate
Thai
Sing ain't lie
There's Jason with his back to me
Talkin to his faculty
I start to get a funny feelins
Put the mask on in case his niggas start squealin
Scream his name out
Squeeze six knuckles shorter
Nigga turned around holdin his daughter

He worked the pits all day.
In Rock Springs, Wyoming.
It was meant to be a stop for a day,
Became his home nothing more I can say.
Daddy was a part time farmer.
He worked the field all day.
But he'd rather have new shoes for them horses.
But late one day, them horses run away.
Shouldn't have put the shoes on that way.
Too bad for daddy.
Such a shame he took it all.
So me and mom took the high road.
But it's not like we had a choice at all.
Daddy was a guitar player.
He'd play that joint all night.
Out back in the shack
The six-string was his demon.
Maybe one day I could run away,
Join my dad in a band to play.
Now it's just me and mom here.
We sit alone all night.
But if you listen close
You can hear my daddy playing.
It was meant to be a stop for a day,
Left us here, now he's on his way.
Too bad for daddy.

So me and mom, we took the high road.

I smell the blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair.

Rising up early the sun barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my

That life just carries on?
Now was it him who said
That life is just a song?
Now I don't know what will
Keep me on this little Earth
I just might use the love
That's all in the dirt
But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain't worth it
She ain't worth nothing I got
Ah no no
Nah nah
Was it you who said
That my life is over?
Baby it was over from the very start
And did you say that I won't be
Around downtown tomorrow?
Ah yes I will with a hardened heart
But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain't worth it
She ain't worth nothing I got
Ah no way

But she really doesn't know
About the way she taunts

Out my window there's a million lights
Thousand hearts feeling just like me
Man, it feels like Heaven out here in the street
I know I got a lot to learn
Breaking bottles only left me hurt
Play with fire 'til I burn myself
Don't you know that love will bring us somewhere else?
So you take the left, I'll take the right
Under arrest, we're under fire
Oh oh oh oh
I don't wanna go to Heaven if I can't get in
You take the low, I'll take the high
You lock the gate, I hear the quiet
Everybody got a problem with the way I live
I don't wanna go to Heaven if I can't get in
Maybe I should take my time
And build this life by my own design
With no direction that is in between
Everything I love and everything I need
So bring it back, all I want is understanding
To live my life the way that I planned it
Wouldn't change a thing
Man, it feels like Heaven underneath my feet
So you take the left, I'll take the right
Under arrest, we're under fire
Oh oh oh oh
I don't wanna go to Heaven if I can't get in
You take the low, I'll take the high
You lock the gate, I hear the quiet
Everybody got a problem with the way I live
I don't wanna go to Heaven if I can't get in
So raise 'em up, raise 'em up
All I ever wanted was a shot at your love
I know, and I believe
Everything we got is everything we need
Oh, love will get you higher
I set my heart on fire
I know, it's what you see
Don't wanna go to Heaven if they don't want me
'Cause I'm no criminal
I'm not your enemy
All I have is life
And I don't wanna go to Heaven if I can't get in
So you take the left, I'll take the right
Under arrest, we're under fire
Oh oh oh oh
I don't wanna go to Heaven if I can't get in
You take the low, I'll take the high
You lock the gate, I hear the quiet
Everybody got a problem with the way I live
I don't wanna go to Heaven if I can't get in
Oh, yeah, raise 'em up, raise 'em up
Everything you wanted is inside your cup
Drink up
Love will get you higher
Oh, oh, all that your rhythm needs
I never met no criminal
And in the end I'll do it again
I don't wanna go to Heaven if I can't get in
Oh, I'm not a criminal
Yeah, I'm no enemy
It's just the way I live
I don't wanna go to Heaven if I can't get in

Back in the day
Oh, it wasn't that far.
Not a day goes by
That won't be in the back tomorrow.
Take today as a sample to you.
It looks cloudy outside,
What are you gonna do
Well, we could get up
Or we could get on down
We could drive to the country
Or head downtown,
Maybe I'll join you too
We could have been so much better off
Than before if we held on true
Take today, and go walk for a while
Well just sit back jack and relax
And enjoy a smile
Well let your mind go
For a minute or two,
Let your mind levitate
For a delicate few.
We could have been so much better off
Than before if we held on true
I said but lately I've been feeling mighty old
I said the sun has got me cracked
And this wind has got me cold
And I'm so damn tired of losing my friends
Every single time I go and lose my ends
I say but that's okay, I'm on my way
And in awhile when I realize
There's something new
but until then i got to hold on true
<@#O.A.R._Love_And_Memories.txt#@>
Lovely, you're always lovely
A vision, you were the one
Now I am stuck inside a memory
You forgot about our destiny
You buried me, didn't you?
Didn't you love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drownin' deep inside your sound
You're always floating
A vapor that I couldn't see
Here I am stuck inside a yesterday
Everything has given way
You fell from me, didn't you?
Didn't you love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drownin' deep inside your sound
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories
Maybe I am a crowded mind
I watch your eyes glaze over
Stare down at the floor
You were amazing to me
I was amazing to you
But here we go again
Didn't you love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drownin' deep inside your sound
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drownin' deep inside your sound
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories

Light of the candle, bright one's soul shined
Woke up new morning feeling better than ever, fine
Chest no hurt no more, something feel better
What's all the hate for, now something feel better
To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I
Walk through the valley and I'll follow the stars
I feel it so close now, it can't be that far
Time some grow lonely, but time isn't done
It's time to go home now, you're not on the run
To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I
To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I
One step forward and I crossed the line again
One step forward and I crossed the line again
Standing on the edge of a civilization
No one's around
Standing on the edge of a civilization
And no one's around and I ain't heard a sound, yeah
The path is snowed over, the path lies ahead
Soon we'll be down there, and nothing is said
There's no need to fear love, don't let love hide
Conquer the mountains way down by the riverside
To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I
To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I, To Zion goes I

It was a hot hot day, middle of may,
Saw my baby walking my way,
She is the cutest thing I've ever seen,
She's got the black black hair,
Little black dress,
And a suit of pair
Little hunny she walked up to me
we walk, and we talk,
We don't have no time to stop that day,
That day was a wonderful day, that day ,
Was the best damn day that day
well I lost my mind
I done lost my mind a thousand times,
And you would too
If you see the things I do,
Oo my baby she burns my world down,
And I cannot thank her enough
For letting me wear the crown,
And one day she walk up to me
And that was the best damn day
I got in my life, in my life, in my life
so we walk and we talk ,
We don't have no time to stop, that day ,
That day was a wonderful,
That day best damn day that day,
That day, that day, that day,
Was, such a wonderful day
how many of you guys feel
That today is a wonderful day,
Lets take that attitude into the rest
Of the evening and into tomorrow,
We appreciate you guys being here tonight

Wake up ! There's a new day dawning
I think I'll take a little walk for a while
I need shades 'cause the sun is blinding
And I can see for miles and miles
Then I can feel the earth beneath me
I lie down we are as one
And they look but they cannot find me
I'm off heading for the sun
I'm getting colder
I feel a chill the air
There's a change in the weather
Here it comes again
Now I can feel the rain
The wind that brings on the change
Is taking me over
The wind that brings on the rain
Is making me older
Downtown the moon is shining
I'm gonna dress me up in style
My business everybody's minding
I need to get away for a while
I'm getting colder
I feel a chill the air
There's a change in the weather
Here it comes again
Now I can feel the rain
The wind that brings on the change
Is taking me over
The wind that brings on the rain
Is making me older

A Cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
As the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
And I want to be there when you're...
Coming down
And I want to be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day...in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time yes I need more time
Just to make things right
Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
About all the things caught in my mind
Me and you what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong

They give you this but you pay for for that
And when you die, no you don't come back
Cos your out of the blue and into the black

It's better to burn out than to fade away

<@#Oasis_Idlers_Dream.txt#@>
My heart it skips a beat when I behold
The light that's shining through your eyes of gold
From heavenly blood you seem to spring
From heavenly waters you can drink
I'll meet you on a day that never ends
I'll greet you in a way that heaven meant
You lay me down gently on the leaves
You cover me over in my sleep
I never did say that I wish I could
I never could pray 'cause it's just no good
I hope you don't break my heart of stone
I don't want to scream out loud
And wake up on my own
And as I close my eyes
And the sky turns red
I realize just what you are
You're an idler's dream
And you're singing Shangri-La
Shangri-La
Shangri-La
Shangri-La
<@#Oasis_Keep_The_Dream_Alive.txt#@>
Four Seasons, seconds, flicker, and flash, I'm alone.
A lonely scream provides the scene - it's no hope.
Every night I hear you scream, but you don't say what you mean.
This was my dream, but now my dream has flown.
I'm at the crossroads, waiting for a sign.
My life is standing still, but I'm still alive.
Every night I think I know,
In the morning where did it go?
The answers disappear when I open my eyes.
I'm a stranger to this place, where real life and dreams collide.
And even though I fall from grace, I will keep the dream alive.
I will keep the dream alive.

Listen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up to the top of the world
I want to see my crime
Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts that you think
And the words they won't let you say
One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time
Sailing down a river alone
I've been tryin' to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
No I don't mind being on my own

How your garden grows cos I just want to fly
Lately, did you ever feel the pain?
In the morning rain as it soaks you to the bone
Maybe I just want to fly I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breathe maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me we see things they'll never see you and I

Calling all the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Call for me to set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand

And everyone and you and yours and mine
I waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me off my mind
Hey Lyla

So what you say Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so

If you can't hear me call

Heaven help you catch me if I fall

And every song and city far and near
Heaven help my mademoiselle

Goodbye I'm going home

Know you're wrong you say you're right

There's no need for you to say you're sorry

And you're not very bright
You think that everything you've done's fantastic

And it will be nice to be alone
For a week or two

I'm older than I wish to be
This town holds no more for me
All my life I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I try to make a better day
It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play
It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there
It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play
It's hard enough sitting there

When you kiss the base o'my spine
Make my body into your shrine
You give me this feeling deep inside
One that I can no longer disguise
While other snakes just she'd their skins
Forked tongues pointing out my sins
Even though I realise that history's not on my side
Even though I realise the pioneer skin still curls up in my eyes
If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me but now I'm blind
I wanna go to heaven, never been there before
I wanna go to heaven, so you kill me some more
Flying high upon the gallows
Too messed up to step out of the shadows
A drugged up heart that knows no sorrow
Rescued from this deep dark hollow
Stick on these boots and sharpen the nails
Time is nigh for you leather girls
Maybe we should end this race
Vanish while we cannot leave no trace
If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me, but now I'm blind
See one-arm film stars on alien beaches
Potted gold and tattooed faces
Harrison murals on the corner, tupperware boxes full of hops
Diazepam dreams there catching streams
Paper dinosaurs flash blue and green
Still I've got a flash-bulb head
Still I've got a flash-bulb head
If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me but now I'm blind
I wanna go to heaven, never been there before
I wanna go to heaven, so you kill me some more
Come along nice, come along dead

They took my faith
They put it in a headlock and
They sealed my fate
Somewhere inside the world
In which they live
Because I failed
They constantly ignore me and
They told me I lost my mind but
I believe that I rule the world
I'm singing out my revolution song
Like nothing else matters
And you can pitch your gold against my soul
But I bet you get shattered
And there's a million houses in my heart
It won't be long
It won't be long
Till I solve my mystery
It would for me
What do I believe in and
A masterkey
Is somewhere inside of the world in which I live
And what for they
They will speak for no-one
And I may have lost my mind
But I believe that I rule my world
I'm singing out my revolution song
Like nothing else matters
You can pitch your gold against my soul
But I bet you get shattered

I feel cold, but I'm back in the fire
Outta control but I'm tied up tight
Come in, come out tonight
Coming up in the early morning
I feel love and the shock of the lightning
I'll follow into the blinding light
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight
Love is a time machine
Up on the silver screen
It's all in my mind
Love is a litany
A magical mystery
And all in good time
And all in good time
And all in good time
I've got my feet on the street but I can't stop flying
My head's in the clouds but at least I'm trying
I'm outta control but I'm tied up tight
Come in, come out tonight
There's a hole in the ground into which I'm falling
So God speed to the sound of the pounding
I'm all in to the blinding light
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight
Love is a time machine
Up on the silver screen
It's all in my mind
Love is a litany
A magical mystery
And all in good time

Wipe the smile
From your face
I feel no way
To unveil
In my soul
Singled out
Watch my style
Pick a place
Wipe the smile
From your face
Hey-e
Yeah-e-ey
They got nothing on me
Anymore
They got nothing on you
I don't care
What they say anymore
All I want is the truth
<@#Oasis_Waiting_For_The_Rapture.txt#@>
I still don't know what I was waiting for
A big love to fall down from the sky
She took my hand and picked me up off the floor
She put an apple in my eye
[Chorus]
I said I'm tired
Come get me off the merry-go-round
I'm wired
Come feed me and then bring-a-me down
She come up to me
I can't remember what she said
'Cause I was in a trance and I forgot it all
Banging on about all that
Revolution in her head
She'd make a lover seem so magical
She said I'm tired
Come get me off the merry-go-round
I'm wired
Well heaven must have sent ya
To save me from the rapture
[Chorus]
<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_Fly_Me_-_Yesterday_Today_B_-_Side.txt#@>
Fly me - my hands are free
Won't you fly me
Look towards what you're dreaming of
Write it down and look above
For something that will tell you I watch you
I'm looking for to do
Won't you fly me - my hands are
Won't you fly me
Picture floating in a silent row
Crying out for those who've never learnt
That life is just a story you pass through
While dreaming what to do
Won't you fly me
Won't you please fly me
Won't you please fly me
Won't you fly me...
<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_Foxys_Folk_Faced.txt#@>
I think everybody's after me
They want to know just what I feel
Pushing wires under my nose
Everybody's standing on my toes
Telling the world what I should know
You said you'd seen life from near the floor
You opened every closing door
Thank you for always being there
All the nights in which we shared
And we know we're always there
If it ever gets you down
You know I'll always be around
Coz too much just ain't enough
We, we who are your property
Whose every single move you see
We don't mind your prying eyes
We don't mind all your lies
Or the headlines that you write
<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_Free_My_Name.txt#@>
Come my way oh I say before you go
Tie my laces and chain me sound below
Hold my side God must be feeling so cold
It's all my deepest I see them there they go
Free my name just give me love
Free my name just give me loving now
I'll give my day's report and send you them intact
It's just like yesterday but now I'm screaming tired
And now you're really saying this house is not my home
So if you wake me I will not sleep alone
Free my name just give me love
Free my name just give me love
Free my name just give me loving now
Come my way oh I say before you go
Tie my laces and chain me sound below
Hold my side God must be feeling so cold
It's all my deepest I see them there they go
<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_Half_A_Dream_Away.txt#@>
We're just half a dream away
Sitting on our fences
Building up defenses
Making up rules by which we play
We're just half way down the road
Staking our positions
But stupid superstitions
Only give fools too heavy a load
The magpie screeched and my window is shattered
Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
The fireman tried but the hose was frozen
The cupboard's bare but the door needs closing
We spend half our time away
From being where we want to
And seeing who it's fun to
Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes
We spend half a dream away
Just looking out of windows
Waiting for a signal
Waiting for night to return to day
The tree was bare but the birds were singing
The milk turned sour but my thirst needs quenching
The meat was dead and I need me feeding
The room was cold but the night was freezing
The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining
A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning
A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming
A church on fire is struck by lightning
The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers
The princess frowned at her lovers mistress
She went insane and poisoned the children
A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing
We're just half a dream away
<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_Hoping_Youre_Making_It_Too_-_So_Low_B_-_Side.txt#@>
Don't let my feet get off the ground
Today I'm glad to be standing here
But all the time I spent tunnelling down
To some place where I'm not so clear
I've been holding out for this time
Standing straight in my own line
Was hoping you're making it too
All the hours we were learning to fly
We're chasing night-lights round the room
I can never repay when I learnt from you
I know you're seeing it your own way too
Your head just went for another walk
But it's coming home and it hangs in the hall
Your head in your hand as you're suffering
But you I know what state you're in
Fall on my knees and my hair rolls around
But even on my knees I know I can stand
If it's coming home it's coming for you
I can see me standing with dunston and you
I've been holding out for my neighbour
Standing straight for my brother
Was hoping you're making it too
<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_I_Wont_Get_Grazed.txt#@>
I'm going away to see my own
And tread my earth
I've got no ordinary gain
By to set my worth
I get enough and I get too late
And if I fall down on the road
Then I won't get grazed
I cannot let you take my time
Or till my earth
You've had enough of life to see
That it shakes my nerve
All of these things I can't get straight
And if I'm falling to the road
Then I won't get grazed
I've had two of them or three
And I just get hurt
I watch me crawling down the road
Trying to guess my worth
I know not what I'm trying to say
But if I'm falling on this road
Then I won't get grazed
I watch you running down the road
So I get mine worked out
But you watch me falling on the run
And you have me called out
All of these things they get so strange
Just kill me falling on the road
But I won't get grazed (x4)
<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_Men_Of_Such_Opinion_-_Youve_Got_It_Bad_B-side.txt#@>
Summer death, slow step
Walk behind the mother of the thirteen year old brown-eyed boy
Attitudes, attitudes
Sloganized by middle boots
The men who slogged the brown-eyed boy
And it's the end of everything that you've been told about
Decency, honesty
And it's the end of holding back and breaking bones and building bombs
And hanging witch-hunts conducted by men of such opinion
Repeat first verse
And it's the end of building roads to load the dead to someone else's field
And it's the end of falling back on breaking backs and aching handshakes
And playing fields conducted by men of such opinion
But the fathers crossed you boys
I fire so heaven knows it only righteous folk
But righteous taste hold the keys to sitting grace
To conduct and to proclaim decisions made of such opinions
And it's the time of summer days
When children sing about the killing fields
Winter melts the snow and knees will crack on rock
And the iron on earth beneath the dearth bequeathed
??? By men of such opinion
<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_On_The_Way_Home_-_Travellers_Tune_B_-_Side.txt#@>
When the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closed
I went insane like a smoke-ring day when the wind blows
Now I won't be back 'till later on, if I do come back at all
But you know me, and I miss you now
Doo, doo, doo
In a strange game I saw myself as you knew me
When the change came and you had a chance to see through me
Well the other side is just the same
You can't tell my dream is real
Because I love you
Can you see me now
Though we rush ahead to save our time
We are only what we feel
And I love you
Can you feel it now
<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_Questions.txt#@>
There's a question
Everybody's shouting out a question
There's a question
Everybody's shouting out a question
Have you got an answer, politician?
Have you got an answer, mathematician?
There's a question
Ringing out a clear loud question
It's a question
Giving you one in the head, it's a question
Do you have an answer, theologian?
A better answer than a politician
There's a question
There's a question
Ringing out loud in space, there's a question
And there's a question
Ringing out over the stage, there's a question
Do you have an answer, politician?

Do you have an answer, theologian?

<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_Shes_Been_Writing.txt#@>
The village girl, ain't it just the way,
Grows her hair long, and paints her face
Nobody calls her anyway
It's a shame
Here we go,
She knows it all
Writes it all down to tell us all
Nobody hears her at all
Anymore
She's been writing
She's been writing
She's been, ah, she's been writing
At the fighting bar,
She knows the law,
She'd just get up and sock you on the jaw
After all she's been in love before
Nevermore
She's been writing
She's been writing
She's been, ah, she's been writing
Between the stages and the sad refrains you know she sings
I'm just a dreamer scheming for the show
Between the pages I can hardly stand the pain
The changes bought to you before you had to go
Sandy Girl ain't it just the way
Grows her hair long and makes mistakes
Nobody calls her anyway
Nevermore
She's been writing
She's been writing
She's been, ah, she's been writing
<@#Ocean_Colour_Scene_Tele_Hes_Not_Talking.txt#@>
Tele He's Not Talking
Tele he's the one he knows what to say
Knows how to find his own way
He knows the roads by night and by doorways
But watching the light in a hall
Won't change a thing or say at all
What it is that he says
Still he says that I don't know
Still he says that I don't know
[Chorus]
I don't why I think about so much
When I don't know what it is I can't say
And I wouldn't change a thing if I believe you all
And scream it in your face
Still I'd say hey I don't know
Still I'd say hey I don't know
Tele deals the cards and draws an ace
And finds himself miles away
Where skies ain't bruised by towers and fumes
Children ain't too young to play
Would I change a thing
I'd change it all
But we're born different days
Still I'd say hey I don't know
Still I'd say hey I don't know
[Chorus]
Would I change a thing
I'd change it all when I'm miles away
Would I change a thing
I'd change it all but we were born on different days
I'd change a thing
I'd change it all when I'm miles away...

It's not the way that you look
Or the way that you comb your hair
I know we'll always be there
By the look, by the book
And your troops and your devil may care
I know we'll always be there
I know we'll always be there
And by the way your eyes are shining through
There's nothing to do but wake up in light
And like the way your eyes they shine with the sun
And lighten everyone who wakes up in time to see
The face smiled back easily
I know we'll always be there
By the look, by the book
And your troops as your devil may care
I know we'll always be there
I know we'll always be there
It's not the way that you look
Or the way that you comb your hair
I know we'll always be there (x3)
<@#Offspring_Come_Out_Swing.txt#@>
You brace and hold it all inside
It's more than you can stand
No one around even tries
Tries to understand
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
But as long as you're swinging
Strong then you'll get by
Your pacing's wearing out a line
Right beside your bed
The scene replays a million times
Stuck inside your head
And though you stand in place
Your mind escapes
Read between the lies
Smile's on your face
You fake like you're ok
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Out on your own
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
The pain inside can guide your way
Midnight, no sleep
Inside, you scream to
No one, hears you fall
Daylight, prove me today
One more try
Don't turn away, don't turn
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by
Don? T turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
Pain inside
Leads you through so you'll get by
<@#Offspring_Days_Go_By.txt#@>
Run to the light
It won't save you tonight
All our yesterdays are pictures lost in time
Never enough
Towers crumble to dust
Looking back on the moments of our lives
All your anger, all your hurt
Doesn't matter in the end
Those days go by
And we all start again
What you had and what you lost
They're all memories in the wind
Those days go by
And we all start again
Stars still burn bright
Seasons change overnight
As we find a way the times they come and go
Look back in love
A new day rises above
With the wind it comes to carry you back home
All your anger, all your hurt
Doesn't matter in the end
Those days go by
And we all start again
What you had and what you lost
They're all memories in the wind
Those days go by
And we all start again
Days go by
All your anger, all your hurt
Doesn't matter in the end
Those days go by
And we all start again
What you had and what you lost
They're all memories in the wind
Those days go by
And we all start again
What you had and what you lost
What you had and what you lost
Those days go by
Those days go by
Those days go by
<@#Offspring_Dont_Pick_It_Up.txt#@>
I saw a little kid
As he walked around
He picked a candy bar up
Off the ground
He chowed about a half
Then his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar was doggy-doo
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
You're out there makin' bacon
No scrutiny
You mess around too much
And you got VD
You know you never think
And you're sore today
You're gonna take it back to California
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
My friend was kinda hurtin'
For a girl to try
He saw one that looked like Pat
On Saturday Night Live
It had a pair of thingies
But a mustache too
Not clearly male nor female
So now what to do
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
<@#Offspring_Elders.txt#@>
When we younger
There always seemed like
Some perfect mold
That we're supposed to be
But now we're growing up and
I see it's just not that way
Now I feel like someones lied to me
Cause I've been true
Made good for you
And now I feel used
I'm asking you
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you
Tell me now elders
What were your reasons for
Making it seem
Like you were so much more
If you want to feel good
Because of our accomplishments
Why the fuck
Don't you just do it yourself
Cause I've tried
Man I've tried
While you all lied
So now just tell me
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you
Look at all the families now
Who don't talk and don't trust
Because of the way
That things have been done
When will you finally learn
To leave out the bullshit
And just be straight with us
<@#Offspring_Head_Around_You.txt#@>
Deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't wanna see
Every single day what you say makes no sense to me
Even though I try I can't get my head around you
Somewhere in the night there's a light in front of me
Heaven up above with the show, abandons me
Even though I try I fall in the river of you
You've managed to bring me down too
All you're faking (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Shows you're aching (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Every single day what you say makes no sense to me
Lettin' you inside, isn't right, don't mess with me
I never really know what's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you
All you're feeling (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Shows you're breathing (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't wanna see
Covering it up like a cut with the likes of me
You know I've really tried, I can't do anymore about you
The cut's getting deeper (Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh)
The hill's getting steeper (Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh)
I guess I'll never know what's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you

In a world without leaders
Who'd start all the wars?
The world that your saving
Will always be yours
Kill the President
Listen to the voice of reason
Unify with that single line
Stop the man with the power
Of the government
A leader's not the center
Of democracy
In a world without leaders
Who'd make people starve?
The world that we're saving
Will always be ours
Everyone says
Well maybe I'll make a difference
Thinking they've got plenty of time
But you're squeezed
A little tighter everyday
Finished before you can commit a crime
In a world without leaders
Who'd start all the wars?
The world that your saving
Will always be yours
Kill the President
Listen to the voice of reason
Unify with that single line
Stop the man with the power
Of the government
A leader's not the center
Of democracy
America
All of your enemies
Come from within
But you lash out so
It is seen
Like some frightened child
In an angry world
Or the fall of Rome
Your demise comes
From your own hands
In a world without leaders
Who'd start all the wars?
The world that your saving
Will always be yours
In a world without leaders
We might have a chance
But we'll never see it

Remember bright colors and the other don't mix
Before you wash'em up, wash'em up, wash'em up, wash'em up...

Open up the fridge and have a tall boy
Yeah
Then I'd meet up with my friends
Head out to the game again
We don't even really care who wins (hey) wins (hey) 1, 2, 3
[Chorus]
Now excitement seems to grow
When we're hangin' with the bro's
When we're chillin' and we pound
A case of stroh's
Now the game is cool to see
You can high five on TV
Count the riot on the 1, 2, 3
Operation is in sight
And the field is open wide
When you break it then you know you're still alive
If the cops don't make you pay
And you make your getaway
Then you know
That's one fine day
On that day before we're through
We could torch a car or two
Then have ourselves another tall boy
Yeah
Water hoses and batons
That's the real game that's on
I don't really give a shit who wins (hey) wins (hey) 1, 2, 3
[Chorus]
I believe it's my God-given right
To destroy everything in my sight
'cause it never gets dull
It never gets old (whoa-oh)
The only thing it gets is more bold (whoa-oh-oh)
Drinkin', fightin', going to the game (whoa-oh)
In our world it's a way to stay sane (whoa-oh-oh)
If you're asking me (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
To have it my way (whoa-oh)

You (ooh) You (ooh)
You (ooh)
Only you (ooh) You (ooh)
You (ooh)
All your love
That I love
All your love
Ah
Like a man
Who plays the game
As a healing
For his pain
You played your game
Again and again
Crazy, insane
Deep in love

Lie down and close your eyes
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
You may be in for a little suprise
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
(??? Over here something moving on the floor here)
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
Something wild with a mind of it's own
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
Scamper about like little tiny beasts
Looking for a house
(or maybe just a hole
And complain to the mouse)
Baby baby don't cry
Scamper all around way up in a tree
So far from the ground
Where they'll never catch me
(???) through my brain
Baby baby don't cry
They're part of the scheme
Nature always is
Physical it seems
We don't have a (basement)
Something isn't right
Baby baby don't cry
Scamper throught the night
Our little ears alert
(????????????)
It wouldn't even hurt if we
Had a little fun
Baby baby don't cry
Baby baby don't cry
Baby baby don't cry
Cause animals are under our skins
Those animals deep within
Those animals scampering about
Cause there ain't nothing
To try to stop them baby
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
And they say
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
Wake up, they're coming alive
We're changing so fast
We don't want to be left behind
Can't stop
Baby baby don't cry
I jump around the sidewalk
(until it starts to whir)
We don't need clothes
Soon we'll have our own fur
Oh what's wrong
Baby baby don't cry
Don't feel bad
I'm going away
I'll come back
Looking for you some day
Hang on baby
Baby baby don't cry
Cause animals are under my skin
Those animals deep within
Why don't they leave me alone
They're bringing me down
It's just a matter of time
I'm on the line I'm on the line
The whole things come undone
We're all on the line
Get back
I'll never come back
Those animals
The animals
Those animals are under my skin
Those animals are under my skin
Those animals are under my skin
Those animals are under my skin
And they say
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
<@#Oingo_Boingo_Cool_City.txt#@>
Icy steel shooting through concrete, cool city
Mountains of glass reflect the sky
Everybody feels real good in cool city
Each day brings a new surprise
Johnny came two-thousand miles to the cool city
He came to see what makes things tick
He cut his hair and bought new clothes in the cool city
Finally found his life's ambition
How to do nothing perfectly
To do it with style so gracefully
'Cause life is so delicious in Cool City
Outside no one's on the street
Don't stop or you'll miss a beat
Someone's standing in a doorway -- cool city
You open the door and check him out so casually
The music's blasting all night long in cool city
They recognize his face, so it's all right
This one knew the right address
He even knew someone in a band
While the others wait all night standing there in
Cool city
So hard to make the right friends
You might have to sell some skin
The nights go on forever
The blacks they all hate the whites
The whites think they're tough, but they're not, cool city
The boys go out with each other
The girls who will be in movies
If you're high, you're in the right place, cool city
Animals seek out their own kind
Shake some hands and take a lunch in cool city
Someone's going to try and tempt you
Listen to all the brilliant plans in the cool city
It's all free now, but you'll pay later with your soul
Pray to the the objects on the wall
That you'll stay young and never grow old
So come on, the water's fine
Have a drink, snort a line
'Cause the nights get very chilly here in cool city
<@#Oingo_Boingo_Fill_The_Void.txt#@>
Once there was a man who decided he knew everything
Once there was a book that he threw in my face
Once there was an angry mob that marched
Up and down the street
Don't ya know they all called my name
What do they want from me?
CHORUS
What do they want from me?
What do they want from me?
What do they want from a poor boy who
Can't believe
They want to fill the void
They want to fill the empty spaces
But I won't let them consume me
With the rest of the lifeless faces
Once there was a little girl
Who thought that she was a queen
And she thought the world was a playground
Filled with sand
So with all her friends she created a fantasy
They all come to me with their demands
What do they want from me?
CHORUS
Every little thing is a piece of a larger thing
Ever little fish is a tyrant of the sea
Every little atom is a master of his family
Every single piece calls my name
What do they want from me?
CHORUS
<@#Oingo_Boingo_Go_Away.txt#@>
Everytime I see you now it makes me feel so bad
Reminds me of the memories I wish I never had
Standing in a crowded room too dark for me to see
Someone's pushing from behind, just leave me room to breathe
And go away from me, just go away
To another time, another place
To another world, another dream
Go away from me...
Walking down the sidewalk in a crowd that doesn't care
Bumping into shoulders every eye is on the street
There's a man with tattered clothes who's cursing at the air
Everyone is slowing down to catch a little peak
(Repeat Chorus)
Everytime I wake up and I see myself again
Staring in the mirror like a burnt out piece of wood
Searching every feature for a single trace of life
Couldn't find the answer 'cause the mirror never lies
(Repeat Chorus)
<@#Oingo_Boingo_Good_For_Your_Soul.txt#@>
Have you ever felt that somehow
You were not yourself
That your body was the same
But everything around you wasn't right
And images so strange and foreign
Flooded in like raging water
Have you ever been in love
With someone you hardly knew
Whereas every time you closed your eyes,
You saw this person come alive
It kept you wide awake at night
You felt like you were burning up
In pain, you want to scream
Then you passed out in a dream
Chorus
Just once or twice is good for your soul
Just once or twice is good for your soul
If you don't stop, you'll lose control
Just once or twice is good for your soul
Every lay there half asleep all hours of the night
With some nagging demon tugging at that tiny bell
Inside your mind
When suddenly that strange idea
Bursts into an inspiration
You grab for it and then
The whole thing slips right through your fingers
Chorus
Just once or twice is good for your soul
Just once or twice is good for your soul
Just once or twice is good for your soul
Just once or twice is good for your soul
It's good for your soul
It's good for your soul
It's good for your soul
It's good for your soul
<@#Oingo_Boingo_Heard_Somebody_Cry.txt#@>
(I thought I heard somebody cry--
I though I heard somebody cry)
I went to see what I could find
Like flowers in the dead of night
Like shadows in the moonlight--
I though I heard somebody cry
A choir with a single voice--A picnic on a cliff
Antenna like an insect--To pick up all your thoughts
CHORUS
It isn't true
I am not the ghost
Without a soul . . . Come
Listen to my heart
You feel the beat . . . Stop
Listen to the sound
Of moving feet . . . Walk
Through the halls at night
When I'm asleep
I don't believe . . .I don't believe
The shoe is on the other foot--The glove is on the fist
The first is like a cannonball--But it feels like a kiss
I got a bed that's real soft--In a room that's always sad
I thought I heard a window sigh--
I though I heard somebody cry
CHORUS
A choir with a single voice--a picnic on a cliff
Antenna like an insect--To pick up all your thoughts
I sip the running water--Like rivers from your eyes
I thought I heard somebody cry--Somebody might be lost
I thought I heard somebody cry--Somebody might be lost
I thought I heard somebody cry--I thought I'd go and see
I thought I heard somebody cry--Somebody might be me
<@#Oingo_Boingo_Is_This.txt#@>
Another place, another time
Another face that looks mine
Another soul for all to see
Is this reality?
If I could only find the words
I dream that they won't go unheard
With one exception I can see
Is this reality?
Oh, if I could only make time stand still for a moment
Capture a memory live it one more time, would I believe
That I would really change a thing
A second chance to get it right
I think the end is close at hand
I had a vision I don't understand
Don't you see, I was made for you and you for me
Close your eyes, are you ready for a big surprise
Oh, hold the clock say the words to make it stop now
Slam bam thank you maam
Wasn't it a pleasant life we shared, who really cares
Why pretend you don't remember
Wipe it clean and start it again
Hope to see you in the summer.
Another place, another time
Another face that looks like mine
Another soul for all to see
Is this?
Is this?
Is this?

They don't care if I'm a one-way mirror
They're not frightened by my cold exterior

Nothing bad ever happens to me
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Why should I care?
A man broke into my neighborhood
He threatened the family with a loaded gun
He tied them all up and beat 'em real good
He took everything and he got away clean
And I can't believe that anyone would
Wanna do such a terrible thing
But why should I care?
Did ya hear about Fred, he's unemployed
They threw him away like a useless toy
He went down the drain after 20 long years
No warning, no pension and nobody's tears
And I can't believe that anyone would
Wanna do such a terrible thing
But why should I care?
Why should I care?
Every time I look around this place
I see them scream but I hear no sound
And the terrible things happen down the road
To someone else that I don't even know
CHORUS
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Why should I care?
Have you heard about the Joneses, my, my, my
It happened so quick and no one knows why
Their teenage son, he seemed O.K.
But his suicide ruined everyone's day
And I can't believe that anyone would
Wanna do such a terrible thing
But why should I care?
CHORUS
(Nothing bad ever happens to me)
Nothing bad ever happens to me
<@#Oingo_Boingo_Only_A_Lad.txt#@>
Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell,
Everyone said, "If you don't get straight
You'll surely go to hell."
But Johnny didn't care,
He was an outlaw by the time that he was ten years old,
He didn't want to do what he was told
Just a prankster, juvenile gangster.
His teachers didn't understand,
They kicked him out of school at a tender early age,
Just because he didn't want to learn things
He had other interests
He liked to burn things!
The lady down the block,
She had a radio that Johnny wanted oh so bad,
So he took it the first chance he had.
Then he shot her in the leg,
And this is what she said
"Only a lad. You really can't blame him."
"Only a lad. Society made him."
"Only a lad. He's our responsibility."
Oh, oh, oohh oh oh oh
"Only a lad. He really couldn't help it."
"Only a lad. He didn't want to do it."
"Only a lad. He's underprivileged and abused."
Perhaps a little bit confused?
Oh oh ohhh, oohhh oh oh ohh whoa whoa whoa
Oh oh ohhh, oohhh oh oh ohh whoa whoa whoa
His parents gave up, they couldn't influence his attitude,
Nobody could help.
The little man had no gratitude.
And when he stole the car,
Nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far.
He didn't mean to hit the poor man,
Who had to go and die.
It made the judge cry.
"Only a lad. He really couldn't help it."
"Only a lad. He didn't want to do it."
"Only a lad. He's underprivileged and abused."
Perhaps a little bit confused?
Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh
It's not his fault that he can't believe,
It's not his fault that he can't behave,
Society made him go astray.
Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away,
Perhaps he'll go away,
He'll go away
"Only a lad. You really can't blame him."
"Only a lad. Society made him."
"Only a lad. He's our responsibility."
Hey there Johnny you really don't fool me,
You get away with murder,
And you think it's funny!
You don't give a damn if we live or if we die
Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh oh oh,
Hey there Johnny boy,
I hope you fry!
Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh oh oh,
Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh oh oh.
<@#Oingo_Boingo_Out_Of_Control.txt#@>
Everyone says sooner or later you'll reach the end of the line
When things get rough some think it's easy to jump the ship . . .
You decide
I say--don't throw it away
There's about a million reasons why
Though you've heard them all before
And you're getting very tired
Lay your head on my lap and I'll sing you this lullaby
CHORUS
Don't you know
That everyone around you
Has felt the pain you feel today
You're out of control yeah--and you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning it'll only be a dream
You're out of control . . .
There's a cloud-rollin' overhead and it seems to rain on no one else
There's a black sun--casting a black shadow,
And I know you feel so all alone
You're out of control--and you want the world to love you
Or maybe you just want a chance to let them know
That you live and breathe and suffer
And your back is in the corner and you've got nowhere to go
Nothin' for nothin'--everything's right at your fingertips--for a price
Who ever said that life on this planet would ever be paradise
I say--don't throw it away, you've got too many things to say
If you throw your life, if you throw away your life . . .
THe world will never be the same
CHORUS
You're out of control--and you move without direction
And people look right through your soul
You're out of control--and you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning it'll only be a dream
And I wish that I could tell you, it'll only be a dream
<@#Oingo_Boingo_Pictures_Of_You.txt#@>
Pictures of you
It's just pictures of you, through the bedroom door
With that sly little grin, says you want it some more
But there's people around, and they don't look so nice
Tell me why don't they move, this has happened before
This has happened before
It's just pictures of you
In darkness
Pictures of you
I'd been sleeping for hours,
when you came to my house
You'd been lost in a crowd, said you had to get out
You were covered with tears and you said you were sad
So you wanted to play
Yes, you wanted to play
Well you touched me and smiled, as you let yourself go
Oh, but something was wrong, 'cause your touch was so cold
Like you'd been in the ground and you asked if you could
Stay
And I said no!
It's just pictures of you
In darkness
(Pictures of you)
In that lovely white dress, oh your skin was so white
With the moon in your eyes, on that cold winter night
When your lips were so soft, that I though they would
Melt,
And the sound of your breath and the way that you felt
And I said yes
And I said yes
It's just pictures of you with a knife in your hand
With a rose in your teeth lying nude in the sand
It's just pictures of you, standing high on a cliff
With the wind in your hair, and a smile on your lips
And your eyes were so wild, when you started to laugh
Blending in with the wind, sounded just like a scream
Why do pictures of you
Come to me when I dream
In darkness
Pictures of you
Pictures of you
Pictures of you

Reptiles and Samurai
Inhabit my head
Invading my dreams
Sleeping in my bed
They battle but they never die
They hear what I hear
Watching through my eyes
They don't like what they see
Reptiles and Samurai
Are under my skin
They hide in my mind
They speak with my tongue
They run amuck in my terrain
They are not friends
But they are forced reluctantly
To share my brain
Reptiles have silly grins
Dark eyes shiny teeth some have fins
Samurai they smile never
Serious pretty swords very clever
Sometimes I watch you from this place way in the sky
Your face is young and shiny transformed right before my eyes
Without warning, without reason
To Samurais and lizards
Reptiles and Samurai
Samurais and lizards
Reptiles and Samurai
Reptiles and Samurai
Inhabit my head
Invading my dreams
Sleeping in my bed
They battle but they never die
Reptiles have pretty scales
They run real fast they like to bite some have tails
Samurai like their water hot
Very brave they eat raw fish they fight a lot
Sometimes I watch you from this place way in the sky
Your face is young and shiny transformed right before my eyes
Without warning, without reason
To Samurais and lizards
Reptiles and Samurai

This is someone else's story
Someone that I never knew
This is someone else's body
Am I getting through to you
If you peel away the armor is something underneath
If you look below for hidden treasure underneath another layer
Are you hiding underneath the skin
CHORUS
If you peel away the skin is there anybody there
If you peel away the skin is there anybody there
If you peel away the armor is it too late to begin
Is there anybody hiding if you peel away the skin
Now a spark has passed between us now
A momentary recognition
Something lost and something gained
And something shared that feels strange
Something cold that will not go away
There's a heart as cold as ice
In a vault that's made of stone
Over years the walls got higher
Over years the walls have grown
Is there anybody in there in this self inflicted tomb
If you peel away the layers is there someone in this room
If you peel away the skin, if you peel away the skin
This is someone else's story
Someone that I never knew
This is someone else's body
Am I getting through to you

Spider crawling, on the wall
I see him and he, sees it all...
And he sees it all
I fell down in that lazy place,
Where the English language can't - penetrate and I
Saw your mouth moving - just forget it and lie here with me
Maybe we should just, climb under the sheets
Where the words they don't get in the way
We were wondering, if you recall
Is this the end of it - end of everything
We were wondering, wonder
Spider crawling - in my left ear
Has a message I - want you to hear
Hope you're happy - found what you're looking for
Do you miss me, miss me at all?
Spider tells me, saw you yesterday
With somebody new - what can I say?
What can I...
Spider crawling, I crawl with him -
We go everywhere, we see everything
We are falling, we are falling, falling to nowhere
Hope you're happy - found what you're looking for
Do you miss me, miss me at all?
Spider crawling, spider crawling, spider crawling...

Now, everybody tells you're the dog's best friend
I'm the cat's meow since I don't know when
I'm an instigator from a dead man's town
So when did the whole world turn upside down?
When did you change your mind?
When did you lose the juice?
Now, where did you get your attitude?
When did you give it away?
What did the old man say?
And how many babies did you kick today?
Now, how many nights can the full moon shine?
How many bottles of water can you turn to wine
When the blood has flowed against the tides of time
And the water flows forever? Hey, hey, hey
Now, I'm gonna build a boat, I'm gonna make it float
'Cause I'm getting the chase for a faraway place
Gonna set the sail, gonna catch some wind
And the big red sky's gonna be my only friend
With a boat for two, just me and you
You can be my teacher, I can teach you too
Gonna try a few things that I've never done
Maybe talk to the fishes, maybe have some fun
Maybe shake my pale fist at the angry stars
While I dance a jig under the eyes of Mars
When we get to an island where no one's ever been
We can get down and dirty in our animal skins
And I stand with my thing hanging out in the wind
Where the water's sweet like honey
Hey, hey, yeah, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, hey, now
I've been feeling a chill, from the East wind blue
Is it creeping up slow, have you felt it too?
Have you noticed the look, have you felt the feel?
Did it make you blush when the piggy squealed?
Have you heard what they say, did you read the news?
Said, the old man's coming home a singing the blues
Gonna whack your fanny, gonna tan your hide
Make your ears turn red and make you gonna cry
Now, well, how many children gonna lose their minds
How many crying girls will be left behind?
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking, yeah
Now, everybody sing to the heavens above
And everybody dance to the sounds of love
Won't you clack your teeth, won't you smack your hands?
Won't you dig your little heads right out of the sand?
Won't you jiggle your butt, won't you wave your arms?
Won't you look like you just came off of the farm?
Won't you stop your fighting for a second or two?
Won't you help your neighbors, won't you do the do?
Won't you taste the sugar, won't you eat the cake?
Won't you get your ugly mug right out of my face?
Won't you tell your brothers and your sisters tonight
That you tasted the water and the water was right?
Won't you taste the sugar, won't you dance the dance?
Won't you wake up? Please and come on out of your trance
Everybody make believe that you disappear
For a second or two, gonna feel so queer
And you left behind all your rage and fear
And it made you feel like water
<@#Old_97s_Borrowed_Bride.txt#@>
The hat on your head the ghosts before breakfast
The lump in your throat the name on her necklace
She's certain she'll never be caught
You can buy her things now but she'll never be bought
The cat on her mind the ring in her tan-line
The lowering lids the perfume is white wine
She's certain her karma is good
Glass houses won't burn but you know this would
So take her inside she's your borrowed bride
And you'll never guess how much she has not cried
Life comes apart at the seams it seems
Life comes apart at the seams
It rings only once when you sit down to dinner
You knew all was lost when she named you the winner
You are certain of nothing at all
Except that it's late but it's not the last call
So take her inside she's your borrowed bride
And you'll never guess how much she has not cried
Life comes apart at the seams it seems
Life comes apart at the seams it seems
Life comes apart

Just like California was not even there
Since it's gone I'm so withdrawn, I ain't got no one nowhere
Right beside the ocean, my darlin' Clementine
Well the water got high and she never got dry and she was a water sign
Time is on my bad side
Halfway there just wouldn't be fair
So I'm goin' all the way tonight
Halfway there just wouldn't be fair
So I'm goin' all the way tonight
Just like California to make a fool of me
Steal the sideshow, burn the disco, slide into the sea
I'm a thinking person and I think that it's wrong
To keep on saying true love's waiting, when true love is long gone
Time is on my bad side
Halfway there just wouldn't be fair
So I'm goin' all the way tonight
Halfway there just wouldn't be fair
So I'm goin' all the way tonight
Halfway there just wouldn't be fair
So I'm goin' all the way tonight

I didn't have a reason
For setting you free
I've seen
A lot of love go sour
But that's not our love
Y'see the problem was
I was only 19
Yeah I was only 19
I finished up with high school
Headed to a state school
Wandered into you
Big screen
Kissing in a movie
God you move me around
We got seriously down
But I was only 19
All I ever wanted to do
Was lie around in bed with you
I was only 19
I was only 19
I've seen
A lot of love go bad now
But that's not how our affair
Would have wound up I swear
But I was only 19
All I ever wanted to do
Is lie around in bed with you
I was only 19
I was only 19

By the time you leave
I'll be saving all my green
For a homebound train to carry me
On old familiar steam
I wish you'd hurry up
And leave or come around
Well the moon is waning hard tonight
I'm leaving my hometown
And the train rolls on with no pilot
And the station's left me I know
But if you should happen to find it
Please bring it home, bring it home
I traded all my stops
For a pillow made of rails
In an empty room I listen to
The lonely whistle wails
I woke up to feet
That I took to be your shoes
And the train lay tracks that deafened me
Shook my insides loose
And the train rolls on with no pilot
And the station's left me I know
But if you should happen to find it
Please bring it home, bring it home
And the point of all this living
Is the dying still to come
And I could be forgiven
But I just won't, I just won't

What will you say to St. Peter
When you meet him in the by and by?
Will you grease your way into Heaven?
Oh can you even look St. Peter in the eye?
Oh will you tell him all your details of your sinnin'?
Will you tell him all the loved ones you done lost?
Will you name off all the broken hearted women?
Or the one who double-crossed you and got herself double-crossed?
I said, ?Dear Lord, por favor, I need a favor
Well can You help me get back that what is no more?
Well I double-crossed the woman who was two-timin' me
She gave me one good reason, I gave her what for
Por favor, por favor, por favor, ah por favor"
What will you say to your Savior
When you meet Him in the promised land?
Will you walk with Him through the valley?
Or will you let your Savior lead you by the hand?
Oh will you tell Him all the details of your sinnin'?
Will you tell Him all the loved ones you done hurt?
Will you name off all the broken hearted women?
Or the one you buried three feet deep in wet East Texas dirt?
I said, ?Dear Lord, por favor, I need a favor
Well can You help me undo that what is done for?
Well I double-crossed the woman who was two-timin' me
She gave me one good reason, yeah I gave her what for
Por favor, por favor, por favor, ah por favor"
Oh I said, ?Dear Lord, por favor, I need a favor

The new kid he's got money
The money I deserve
I should be rolling in it
I've been a working stiff
As for the justice
No one knows where it went
I'm gonna toil away
Until my judgment day
I will be rewarded for the good things I did
Believe me every year
There is another one here
Don't you see I used to be the new kid?
I am sorry to say, you'll get carried away
Oh you will be replaced
You will be replaced
I'll tell you again
Don't get too settled in
You will be replaced
You will be replaced
the new kid he's got my girl
The girl I used to have
He's got the looks
You know, got them from his dad
I should be kissin' that girl
We should be so in love
There is no justice
There's just dark stars above
I'm gonna toil away
Until my judgment day
I will be rewarded for the good things I did
Believe me every year, there is another one here
Don't you see I used to be the new kid?

You're a bottle cap away
From pushing me too far
Well the problem's gettin' big
An empty compact car
So I won't feel so bad
I did all I could do
Now I'm on wounded knee
And we're at Waterloo
So please get out of my car
I was born in the backseat of a mustang
On a cold night in a hard rain
And the very first song that the radio sang
Was "I won't be home no more"
You're a rattle trap tonight
My ears are gettin' tired
So listen for awhile
Before this thing expired
Oh it was bound to fail
All because of where I'm from
Now the moon's at four o'clock
And it's high time kingdom come
So please get out, of my car
I was born in the backseat of a mustang
On a cold night in a hard rain
And the very first song that the radio sang
Was "I won't be home no more"

<@#Oliver_As_Long_As_He_Needs_Me.txt#@>
As long as he needs me...
Oh, yes, he does need me...
In spite of what you see...
... I'm sure that he needs me.
Who else would love him still
When they've been used so ill?
He knows I always will...
As long as he needs me.
I miss him so much when he is gone,
But when he's near me
I don't let on...
... The way I feel inside.
The love, I have to hide...
The hell! I've got my pride
As long as he needs me.
He doesn't say the things he should.
He acts the way he thinks he should.
But all the same,
I'll play
This game
His way.
As long as he needs me...
I know where I must be.
I'll cling on steadfastly...
As long as he needs me.
As long as life is long...
I'll love him right or wrong,
And somehow, I'll be strong...
As long as he needs me.
If you are lonely
Then you will know...
When someone needs you,
You love them so.
I won't betray his trust...
Though people say I must.
I've got to stay true, just
As long as he needs me.
<@#Oliver_Golden_Eagle.txt#@>
The old man stopped and thought
Well, now I'm 85
And while I'm still alive
I must rectify a few things
I never dreamed way back when I was 21
There'd be so much left undone
And I would never grow wings
Should there be a need to delay my certain sunset
Will there be a plan for me to try?
I know the only way to fly
I must find a golden eagle
Resting somewhere on the ground
And ride him ever westward
Never see the sun go down
Sometimes the challenge presses hard upon my brow
And I know the time is now
But my wits are stiff and swollen
I pay my dues and limp a rough and rocky climb
As I try to buy some time
Before the dark has fallen
I am but a man
Can I stop encroaching shadows?
Would that I could keep the black away
I have a scheme to save the day
I will find a golden eagle
Resting somewhere on the ground
And ride him ever westward
Never see the sun go down
And I'll ride him for circles
A hundred million times
And then if I have finished
All the half-done chores that I'm now facing
I'll bring him on home
<@#Oliver_In_My_Life.txt#@>
There are places I remember all my life
Though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know
I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know
I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
<@#Oliver_Long_Time_Coming.txt#@>
Everbody wants to be love
Every once in a while
We all need someone to hold on to
Just like a helpless child
Can you whipser in my ear
Let me know it's all right
(Chorus) It's been a long time coming
Down this road
And now I know what I've been waiting for
And like a lonely highway
I'm trying to get home
Ooo loves been a long time coming
You can look for a lifetime
You can love for a day
You can think you got everything
Everything is nothing when you throw it away
Then you look in my eyes and I have it all once again
(Chorus) It's been a long time coming
Down this road
And now I know what I've been waiting for
It's like lonely highway
I'm trying to get home
Ooo loves been a long time coming
Didn't know I was lost 'til you found me
Didn't know I was blind but now I see
Can you whisper in my ear
Let me know its all right
It's been a long time coming
Down this road
And now I know what I've been searching for
It's been long long highway and now I see
Ooo loves be a long time
Ooh been a long time
Loves been a long time...

There are nights made out of magic
Magic nights when dreams come true
Nights like that fall on anybody
Even me and you
Think we're gonna have one tonight
We're gonna have one of those nights
We're gonna have one of those times
One of those times of our lives
Baby, tonight in this world
There's gonna be just you and me
We're gonna be falling in love
Baby, just you wait and see
We're gonna have one of those nights
So kill the lights and light the candles
Turn your favorite station on
Sometime tonight no matter what they're playin'
They'll be playin' our song
Think we're gonna have one tonight
We're gonna have one of those nights
We're gonna have one of those times
One of those times of our lives
Baby, tonight in this world
There's gonna be just you and me
We're gonna be falling in love
Baby, just you wait and see
We're gonna have one of those nights
Nights of magic midnight blue
Everybody is allowed a few
Think we're gonna have one tonight
We're gonna have one of those nights
One of those star-spangled nights
We're gonna have one of those times
One of those times of our lives
Baby, tonight in this world
There's gonna be just you and me
We're gonna be falling in love
Baby, just you wait and see
One of those nights
One of those nights
Oh, we're gonna have one of those nights
One of those nights
One of those nights

I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"
I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door
Too proud to make up
You're ready to break up
Too late you wake up
And love walks out that door
Baby oh sweet baby
I didn't mean a word that I said
(Well now) you know that I love you
Can't we talk it over in bed
I never meant to hurt you
Must have been out of my head
Tell me that you still want me
Can't we talk it over in bed
(talk talk talk it over)
Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door
Too proud to make up
You're ready to break up
Too late you wake up
And love walks out that door
Come on a little closer
Can't we just forgive and forget
Everything seems to work out
I never meant to hurt you
I must have been out of my head
Tell me that you still want me
Can't we talk it over in bed
Don't let it no don't let it slip away
Oh no baby ooh

I don't want to cry
I don't want to say goodbye
But I will if you won't fight for our love
It takes more than sayin' I love you
We need more than words to get us through
I need to feel that you will fight for our love
We have a history, a passionate story
But lately, we're more strangers than friends
All through the ages
Love really worth savin' has been battered and scarred
But it strengthened the heart and that's who you win the end
I just want to hold you close to me
How I miss the way we used to be
Don't let it die, let's you and I fight for our love
Oh, all through the ages
Love really worth savin' has been battered and scarred
But it strengthened the heart and that's who you win the end

So spread some sunshine around

I asked you to come inside my heart
And there you were
I asked for a pure and gentle start
And there you were
I asked if this love could ever be
The way that I've dreamt of it you see
I never knew love
I asked you to open up my eyes
And there you were
I asked for the keys to paradise
And there you were
They say only ask and you'll receive
I never knew that applied to me
I never knew love
Life is good life is sweet
It's the way that we perceive
Cynics say we can dream
Change your mind heal the world
It's easy just believe
I asked for a change in all my life
And there you were
You're everything I had hoped to find
Yes, there you were
I hope and I pray that you will find
A peace and a joy as great as mine
All about love
I hope you find love

I was deprived of a young girl's dream
By the cruel force of nature from the blue
Instead of a night full of romance supreme
All I got was a runny nose and Asiatic flu
It's raining on prom night
My hair is a mess
It's running all over
My taffeta dress
It's wiltin' the quiltin'
In my maiden-form
And mascara flows
Right down my nose
Because of the storm
I don't even have
My corsage, oh gee
It fell down the sewer
With my sister's I.D
Yes, it's raining on prom night
Oh my darling, what can I do?
I miss you
It's raining rain from the skies
And it's raining real tears from my eyes over you
Oh, dear God, make him feel
The same way I do right now
Make him want to see me again
Oh, what can I do?
It's raining rain from the skies
It's raining tears from my eyes over you
Raining, oh, tears from my eyes over you
Raining, oh, raining on prom night
Oh, raining, oh, tears from my eyes over you
Raining

All I ask you is let me be there
Watching you grow and going
Through the changes in your life
That's how I know, I'll
Always wanna be there

Whenever you call
You know I'll be there

I've been doin' some soul searchin', feel guilty as a girl can feel
I've got no business smiling, beguiling
I'm caught up in a triangle, no future in this shape I'm in
So what do I find so appealing, in stealing, tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much
My heart's in jeopardy, he's overpowering me, oh what'll I do
I wasn't lookin' around, you know I'm happy with you
You're a part of me that I can't replace
But he touched my heart in a new place, he found a space, tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much

Can't keep on hurtin', hurtin' you
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much
My heart's in jeopardy, he's overpowering me, oh what'll I do

Summer loving had me a blast
Summer loving happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting away to oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car
She swam by me she got a cramp
He ran by me got my suit damp
I saved her life she nearly drowned
He showed off splashing around
Summer sun somethings begun but oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put up a fight?
Took her bowling in the arcade
We went strolling drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed out till 10 o'clock
Summer fling don't mean a thing but oh oh the summer nights.
Tell me more, tell me more
But you don't gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more
Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly holding my hand
She got friendly down in the sand
He was sweet just turned eighteen
Well she was good you know what I mean
Summer heat boy and girl meet but oh oh the summer nights.
Tell me more, tell me more
How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more
Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams but oh those summer nights
<@#Olivia_Newton-John_Sunburned_Country.txt#@>
I carry her with me
I carry her pride
Whenever I speak her name
My soul it comes alive
She taught me to be strong
She taught me to fight
And I am who I am today
Because she raised me right
[Chorus]
In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Oh that's where my heart is truly free
The creeks and the rivers
The dust and the mud
All of us understand
This land gets in your blood
The sight of the blue gum's
And black cockatoos
White snow Kosciusko
Red rock Uluru
[Chorus]
We've always been humble
Too scared to be proud
I think its time that
We all stand and say
We love our home out loud
[Chorus]
I love all the people
I love all the sounds
Sleeping under a tin roof
With a hard rain coming down

The first Noel
The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they Lay
Keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep
They looked up
And saw a star
Shining bright in the east
Beyond them far
And to the earth
It gave great light
And so it continued
Both day and night
Noel,Noel
Noel,Noel
Born is the king of Israel

There's a key to open every heart
You must play your part
To open the door

A yearning to be stilled
You can't ask for more
Don't get down
Don't get disheartened
There's someone who
Is waiting there for you
On your own is the loneliest place to be
We all need love, can't you see
And they need you
How they need you
Oh, don't get down

Baby, baby, so hot, totally hot
You got to me
Gimme what you got, ready or not
Our love is totally hot
I'm burnin' up
And if my mama could read my mind she'd lock me up
And I'm burnin', burnin'
You must know
Cause baby when you're around I come unwound
Our love is so hot, totally hot
You got to me
Baby, baby, so hot, totally hot
You got to me
Gimme what you got, ready or not
Out love is totally hot
Play the game and let me do the same
And we gonna get along, gonna get along, gonna get along fine
Watchin' out for my heart
But when I am near you
Near you ain't the place to start, no, no, no, no
Takin' it slow
Whenever I cross your trail, my brakes just fail
My love is so hot, totally hot
You got to me
Baby, baby, so hot, totally hot
You got to me
Gimme what you got, ready or not
My love is totally hot
My love is so hot, totally hot
You got to me
Baby, baby, so hot, totally hot
You got to me
Gimme what you got, ready or not
My love is totally hot
Gimme what you got, ready or not
My love is totally, totally, totally hot

There's a word that would hurt
I can feel on your lips
Like a gun to my heart
When all that I want is a kiss
But we fell so hard and it felt so right
So don't let it all end here tonight
And we could fall all over again
Don't say goodbye
Keep us alive
'Cause my world will stop if we didn't try
Can't we pretend just for tonight
'Cause those words would tear the stars from the sky
Don't say goodbye
Don't don't don't say it
Don't don't don't say it
Don't don't don't say it
There's a word that would hurt
And you can't take it back
So just show me more than words could ever say
But we fell so hard and it felt so right
So don't let it all end here tonight
And we could fall all over again
Don't say goodbye
Keep us alive
'Cause my world would stop if we didn't try
Can't we pretend just for tonight

You think you've heard this before
I'll try to say it differently
As long as it come naturally to me
It's been making me sad
'Cause I can't find a better way
To speak the words I wanna say to you
Know how I love you
And know how I need you
And I want you to know
Won't let you down
No, I can't let go
And I want you to see
Everyday I wear my heart on my sleeve
On my sleeve
It's been driving me mad
Consistent tones and constant drones
Keep pulling me back inside my head
Nothing matter at all
The world will keep on spinning round
All these feeling keep on pouring out
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I need you
And I want you to know
Won't let you down
No, I can't let go
And I want you to see
Everyday I wear my heart on my sleeve
I try to write the words down
Before they're lost and won't come out
Oh, please, help me sing my song
And I want you to know
Won't let you down
No, I can't let go
And I want you to see
Everyday I wear my heart on my sleeve

<@#Olly_Murs_Inner_Ninja.txt#@>
Ninja? You're a ninja? Get out of here, you're a ninja!
Yes, I am a ninja.
I read the rules before I broke 'em
I broke the chains before they choked me out
Now I pay close attention
Really learn the code
I learned to read the map before I hit the road
Hey yo, I know you never heard this before
But I'd rather lose a fight than miss the war
And I ain't wishing competition or fishin' for it
I'm just living in the system, conditions are poor
I've been lost in the rhythm and misinformed
Too many late nights hittin' the liquor store
Too many bad decisions, half assed attempts
No sweat, no fear, no blood, no tears
I go hard and I ain't makin' up no excuse
I'm overdue, I don't do what I'm supposed to do
Cause you can think about it man, we're supposed to lose
It ain't all picture perfect, ocean views
No, I was a first class rookie,
Takin' out bullies in my all black hoodie
Man of mystery, you know the history
Get it or forget it, cause poof, I'm outta here
I read the rules before I broke 'em
I broke the chains before they choked me out
And I pay close attention
Really learn the code
I learned to read the map before I hit the road
(But we say)
Nobody's gonna see me comin'
Nobody's gonna hear a sound
No matter how hard they tryin'
No stoppin' me since I've found
My inner ninja [4x]
Hey yo, I've been high and I've been real low
I've been beaten and broken but I healed though
So many ups and downs, roughed up and clowned
We all got problems, but we deal though
I'm tryin' to do better now, find my inner peace
Learn my art form, and find my inner Chi
When my backs on the wall, I don't freeze up
Nah, I find my inner strength and I re-up
Here we go, I know I've never been the smartest or wisest
But I realize what it takes
Never dwell in the dark cause the sun always rises
But gotta make it to the next day
It's a feeling that you get in your lungs when you run
Like you're runnin' outta air and your breath won't come
And you (uh) wheezin', gotta keep it movin'
Find that extra (uhn) and push your way through it
I've had bad habits but I dropped em, I dropped em
I've had opponents but I knocked them out
I climbed the highest mountains
I swum the coldest seas
There ain't a thing I've faced that's been too much for me
(but we say)
Nobody's gonna see me comin'
Nobody's gonna hear a sound
No matter how hard they tryin'
Nobody's gonna bring me down
Nobody's gonna see me comin'
Nobody's gonna hear a sound
No matter how hard they tryin'
No stoppin' me since I've found
My inner ninja [4x]
I've had bad habits but I dropped em, I dropped em
I've had opponents but I knocked them out
I climbed the highest mountains
I swum the coldest seas
There ain't a thing I've faced that's been too much for me
Man, that was dope!
You think?
What're you, like, a third degree black belt?
Actually, I'm not even in karate but I've found... My inner ninja!

Where do I go from here, tell me baby
If I can't have you near
I've been running in circles for you
Got a fever of a hundred and two
Can't fake how I feel for you
This foolish heart of mine gets frustrated
Can't read between the lines
And the signal that I'm waiting for
Is always locked behind the door
And It makes me want you more
So let your love shine down on me
And I will surrender
Wear my heart upon your sleeve
Just put your trust in me and I will be there forever
So let your love shine down on me
If I could have my way, I'd take you baby
Out every night and day
You're the battery to my heart
And without you I can't start
Don't you leave me in the dark
So let your love shine down on me
And I will surrender
Wear my heart upon your sleeve
Just put your trust in me and I will be there forever
So let your love shine down on me
You know I wanna believe
I wanna see the light
So let your love shine down on me
You know I wanna believe
I wanna see the light
So let your love shine down on me
You know I wanna believe
I wanna see the light
So let your love shine down on me
You know I wanna believe
I wanna see the light
So let your love shine down on me
Just shine it right down

I wanna see the light
So let your love shine down on me)
Just shine it right down

I wanna see the light
So let your love shine down on me)

I hate to let you down again
We don't know how it's gonna end
Cause now you know the secret
I can't never mend And this could be gone when we wake up, tomorrow
Hearts are unchanged
Time that is left, is borrowed
And I can't take the way that you look at me
Is there any place you and I could be?
And we could go away
It all could go away This silence is deafening
This ocean is without an end
And there's something I know
Something I know, we were meant to be
Please listen to me, are you listening? Cause this could be gone when we wake
up, tomorrow
Hearts are unchanged
Time that is left, is borrowed
And I can't take the way that you look at me
Is there any place you and I could be?

And when you touch it, the feeling lingers
Takes me up so I high I can't come down
You got me wrapped up baby

All this spell you got me under

There's just something about you
Your body fits on mine like a glove
Let them say whatever they want
It's too late cause you're in my blood now
You got the lock

You kinda turned my world upside down
And I don't really mind spiderman kissing you
As long as you're planning on sticking around
The happiest boy in the world award goes to me

With a big black cross
By a tall white house
To a place down south

To be stabbed in the back

When you know the dollar girl
Is coming home again
Then you know that destiny
Will never be your friend
Her heart is in her pocket
And her head is in your hands
You thought it would be easy
But I guessed she changed your plans
Now you know there's no release
From all the tears she cries
Slowly it seems obvious
She'll love you til she dies
Stay with me now
Til the end of the day
If you stay we can talk
I will hear what you say
If you leave me tonight
While my heart is on fire
Stay with me now
I will be your desire
And when you go the dollar girl
Will justify your care
She burns you with her confidence
And prays that you won't dare
Now you know there's no release
From all the tears she cries
Slowly it seems obvious
She'll love you til she dies
Stay with me now
Til the end of the day
If you stay, we can talk
I will hear what you say

While my heart is on fire
Stay with me now

Now you know there's no release
From all the tears she cries
Slowly it seems obvious

Her light is as loud as as many ambulances
As it takes just to save a savior, oh
Woah, woah, woah

No, she floats through the room on a big balloon
Some say she's such a fake
That her love is made up, no
No, no, no

Let's pray we stay young, stay made of lightning

[Verse 1: Harry]
I wanna write you a song
One that's beautiful as you are sweet
With just a hint of pain for the feeling that I get when you are gone
I wanna write you a song
[Verse 1: Liam]
I wanna lend you my coat
One that's as soft as your cheek
So when the world is cold you'll have a hiding place you can go
I wanna lend you my coat
[Chorus: Louis]
Everything I need I get from you
And giving back is all I wanna do

I wanna build you a boat

Don't try to make me stay
Or ask if I'm okay
I don't have the answer
Don't make me stay the night
Or ask if I'm alright
I don't have the answer.
Heartache doesn't last forever
I'll say I'm fine
Midnight ain't no time for laughing
When you say goodbye.
It makes your lips so kissable
And your kiss unmissable
Your fingertips so touchable
And your eyes irresistible.
I've tried to ask myself
Should I see someone else?
I wish I knew the answer.
But I know, if I go now, if I leave
Then I'm on my own tonight
I'll never know the answer.
Midnight doesn't last forever
Dark turns to light
Heartache flips my world around
I'm falling down, down, down,
That's why.
I find your lips so kissable
And your kiss unmissable
Your fingertips so touchable
And your eyes irresistible (Irresistible)
Irresistible (Irresistible)
Irresistible (Irresistible)
Irresistible (Irresistible).
It's in your lips and in your kiss
It's in your touch and your fingertips
And it's in all the things and other things
That make you who you are and your eyes irresistible.
It makes your lips so kissable
And your kiss unmissable
Your fingertips so touchable
And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes,
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Irresistible.
<@#One_Direction_Little_White_Lies.txt#@>
If this room was burning
I wouldn't even notice
'Cause you've been taking up my mind
With your little white lies, little white lies
You say it's getting late
It's getting late
And you don't know if you can stay
If you can stay
But you, you don't tell the truth
No you, you like playing games
Your hands touching me, they're touching me
And your eyes keep saying things
They say what we do
When it's only me and you
I can't concentrate
That's all I'm thinking about
All I keep thinking about
Everything else just fades away
If this room was burning
I wouldn't even notice
'Cause you've been taking up my mind
With your little white lies, little white lies
You say you're a good girl
But I know you would girl
'Cause you've been telling me all night
With your little white lies, little white lies
With your little white lies, little white lies
Back seat of the cab,
We're in the cab
My lips getting so attached,
They're so attached
Now you wanna make some rules
Now cool then we'll watch them break tonight
I know what you want
And I've been waiting so long
If this room was burning
I wouldn't even notice
'Cause you've been taking up my mind
With your little white lies, little white lies
You say you're a good girl
But I know you would girl
'Cause you've been telling me all night.
With your little white lies, little white lies
With your little white lies, little white lies
I know you want it
I know you feel it too
Let's stop pretending
That you don't know what I don't know
Just what we came to do
If this room was burning
I wouldn't even notice
'Cause you've been taking up my mind
With your little white lies, little white lies
You say you're a good girl
But I know you would girl
'Cause you've been telling me all night
With your little white lies, little white lies
With your little white lies, little white lies

[Verse 1: Niall]
We made a fire, went down in the flames
We sailed an ocean and drowned in the waves
Built a cathedral, but we never prayed
We had it all, yeah and we walked away
[Chorus: Harry]
Point of no return and now it's just too late to turn around
I try to forgive you but I struggle cause I don't know how
We built it up so high and now I'm falling
It's a long way down, it's a long way down from here
[Verse 2: Louis]
We had a mountain, but took it for granted
We had a spaceship, but we couldn't land it
We found an island, but we got stranded
We had it all yeah, who could've planned it?
[Chorus: Liam]
Point of no return and now it's just too late to turn around
I try to forgive you, but I'm struggling cause I don't know how
We built it up so high and now I'm falling

About Prom Queen and partying,
Can't get her head on straight,
But has to try before it's too late,
But I don't think she has a chance,
I know you, you know me,
But you're too proud to show me,
The way you really see the world,
I'm here to help,
And I'm sure it feels like hell,
Come take my hand we'll fly away to promised lands,
What are you running from?
Why can't you just see that this through?
When you're lost in life I will try,
Oh, I'll try, yeah, I'll try,
To find you.
Please believe,
That we aren't just here,
Sitting watch you do your thing,
You want to scream, but,
Those chains they hold you down,
And I won't wait to get you off the ground,
Free to look forward to what is at hand,
If there's something to ask,
It's too short for a regret,
People make mistakes,
And I'm here to lead the way,
To see you spread your wings.
What are you running from?
Why can't you just see this through?
When you're lost in life I will try,
Oh, I'll try, yeah, I'll try,

There's gotta be some way to get you to want me like before
'Cause no one ever looks so good in a dress
And it hurts 'cause I know you won't be mine tonight
No one ever makes me feel like you do when you smile,
Baby tell me how to make it right
Now all my friends say it's not really worth it
But even if that's true
No one in the world could stop me from not moving on,
Baby even if I wanted to
Nobody compares to you
We're so Paris when we kissed, when we kissed

Do you remember summer '09
Wanna go back there every night
Just can't lie it was the best time of my life
Lying on the beach as the sun blew out
Playing this guitar by the fire too loud
Oh my my they could never shut us down
I used to think that I was better alone
Why did I ever want to let you go
Under the moonlight as we stared at the sea
The words you whispered I will always believe
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me, yeah
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
Yeah we were together summer '09
Wanna roll back like press and rewind
You were mine and we never said goodbye
I used to think that I was better alone (Better alone)
Why did I ever want to let you go?(Let you go)
Under the moonlight as we stared to the sea (Stared at the sea)

Now that you can't have me
You suddenly want me
Now that I'm with somebody else
You tell me you love me
I slept on your doorstep
Begging for one chance
Now that I finally moved on
You say that you missed me all along
[Chorus]
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think I am?
You only love to see me breaking
You only want me 'cause I'm taken
You don't really want my heart
No, you just like to know you can
Still be the one who gets it breaking
You only want me when I'm taken
You're messing with my head
Girl that's what you do best
Saying there's nothing you won't do
To get me to say yes
You're impossible to resist
But I wouldn't bet your heart on it
It's like I'm finally awake
And you're just a beautiful mistake
[Chorus]
Thank you for showing me
Who you are underneath
No, thank you, I don't need
Another heartless misery
You think I'm doing this to make you jealous
And I know that you hate to hear this
But this is not about you anymore
[Chorus]
Now that you can't have me
You suddenly want me

There once was a group with Liam and Niall
Vas Happenin' boys? Vas Happenin' boys?
They lived with Zayn and their room was vile
Vas Happenin' boys? Vas Happenin' boys?
Did you know Harry's such a slob?
He needs to win X Factor 'cause he can't get a job
And Oh, Louis needs a boat
He dresses like he owns one
'Cause he's got no other clothes
They really need your vote
Vas Happenin' boys? Vas Happenin' boys?
Mick Jagger could be Harry's dad
Vas Happenin' mum? Vas Happenin' Mick?
When Liam sings he makes his face look sad
Vas Happenin' song? Vas Happenin' sad?
And Zayn's the master of echoes
And Niall was raised by leprechauns
So he won't ever grow
And Oh, Louis needs that boat
He dresses like he owns one
And it's becoming a joke
They really need your vote

[Verse 1: Liam]
Through the wire, through the wire, through the wire
I'm watching her dance, dress is catching the light
In her eyes there's no lies, no lies
There's no question, she's not in a disguise
[Pre-Chorus: Louis]
With no way out and a long way down
Everybody needs someone around
But I can't hold you, too close now
Through the wire, through the wire
[Chorus: All]
What a feeling to be right here beside you now
Holding you in my arms
When the air ran out and we both started running wild
The sky fell down
But you've got stars, they're in your eyes
And I've got something missing tonight
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow
I wish I could be there now
[Verse 2: Liam]
Through the wire, through the wire, through the wire
I'm watching you like this, imagining you're mine
It's too late, it's too late, am I too late?
Tell me now, am I running out of time?
[Pre-Chorus: Niall]
With no way out and a long way down
Everybody needs someone around
But I can't hold you too close now
Through the wire, through the wire
[Chorus: All]
What a feeling to be right here beside you now
Holding you in my arms
When the air ran out and we both started running wild
The sky fell down
But you've got stars, they're in your eyes
And I've got something missing tonight
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow
I wish I could be there now
[Bridge: Harry]
Whatever chains are holding you back
Holding you back, don't let 'em tie you down
Whatever chains are holding you back
Holding you back, tell me you believe in that
[Chorus: All]
What a feeling to be right here beside you now
Holding you in my arms
When the air ran out and we both started running wild
The sky fell down
But you've got stars, they're in your eyes
And I've got something missing tonight
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow
I wish I could be there now, I wish I could be there now
<@#Opeth_April_Ethereal.txt#@>
It was me, peering through the looking-glass.
Beyond the embrace of Christ.
Like the secret face within the tapestry.
Like a bird of prey over the crest.
And she was swathed in sorrow, as if born within its mask.
Her candlelight snuffed, the icon smiled.
Emptiness followed by her wake.
I could clasp her in undying love.
Within ghostlike rapture the final word was mine.
She faced me in awe. 'twas a token of ebony color.
Embodied in faint vapor.
Wandering through April's fire.
Compelled to grasp and to hold the one that was you.
I will endure, hide away.
I would outrun the scythe, glaring with failure.
It is a mere destiny I thought, a threshold I had crossed before.
The rain was waving goodbye, and when the night came
The forest folded its branches around me.
Something passed by, and I went into a dream.
She laughing and weeping at once: "take me away".
I don't know how or why, I'll never know when.
<@#Opeth_Death_Whispered_A_Lullaby.txt#@>
Out on the road there are fireflies circling
Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide
Over the hill there are men returning
Trying to find some peace of mind
Sleep my child
Under the fog there are shadows moving
Don't be afraid, hold my hand
Into the dark, there are eyelids closing
Buried alive in the shifting sands
Sleep my child
Speak to me now and the world will crumble
Open a door and the moon will fall
All of your life, all your memories
Go to your dreams, forget it all
Sleep my child
<@#Opeth_Hope_Leaves.txt#@>
In the corner beside my window
Hangs a lonely photograph
There is a reason I never notice it
Memory that could hold me back
There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place
Gone through days without talking
There is a comfort in silence
So used to losing all ambition
And struggling to maintain what's left
There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place
Once undone, there's only smoke
Burning in my eyes to blind
To cover up what really happened
And force the darkness unto me
There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place
<@#Opeth_The_Apostle_In_Triumph.txt#@>
In solitude I wander
Through the vast enchanted forest
The surrounding skies are one
Torn apart by the phenomenon of lightning
Rain is pouring down my (now) shivering shoulders
In the rain my tears are forever lost
The darkened oaks are my only shelter
Red leaves are blown by the wind
An ebony raven now catches my eye
Sitting in calmness
Before spreading his black wings
Reaching for the skies
In this forest
Where wolves cry their agony unto the moon
My spirit is hidden
In the form of wisdom
Carved on a black stone
The only way to follow
Open your soul
Redeem, I am immortal
Blinded by a light
My soul is held up in glory
I engulf the skies
The apostle in triumph
Through the eternal flame I travel
As the rain keeps falling
<@#Opeth_The_Twilight_Is_My_Robe.txt#@>
Unto you I whisper
The wildest dreams
In the coldness of night
Shrouded in crystals
Through a frosty dusk
Souls of the full moon awaits
Their shadows ablaze
We are all bending
Our tired leaves over your empty shell
In the sign of true esteem
Are you beloved lord
Sighing deep under these waterfalls?
The birds of the sun
Separates these dark clouds
While the winds of winter sleeps gently around
I am sworn to the oath
To breathe...
At the waters I dwell
The waves are still whispering
Ancient lullabies
I die
While our mystic brothers still seek
Under your command I will obey
In my vision
You are the embodiment of pure freedom
But through my eyes you are made of stone

Poor Jud is daid
Poor Jud Fry is daid
All gather round his coffin now and cry
He had a heart of gold
And he wasn't very old
Oh why did such a fella have to die
Poor Jud is daid
Poor Jud Fry is daid
He's looking oh so peaceful and serene
And serene!
He's all laid down to rest
With his hands across his chest
His fingernails have never looked so clean
And then the preacher'd get up and he'd say: "Folks, we are gathered
Here to mourn and growl our brother Jud Fry, who hung himself up
By a rope in a smokehouse, and then we have been weepin' and
Wailin' within some of the women. " And then he'd say: "Jud was the
Most misunderstood man in the territory. People used to think he was
A mean, ugly fella and they called him a dirty skunk and a northern
Pig stealer.
But the folks that really knowed 'I'm
Knowed that neath those dirty shirts he always wore
There beated a heart as big as all outdoors
As big as all outdoors
Jud Fry loved his fellow man
He loved his fellow man
He loved the birds of the forest
And the bees of the field
He loved the mice and the vermin in the barn
And he treated the rats like equals, which he knew was right!
And he loved the little children
He loved everybody and everything in the world
Only he never let on, so nobody ever noticed
Poor Jud is Daid
Poor Jud Fry is daid
His friends all weep and wail from miles around
Miles around!
The daisies in the dell will give out a different smell
Because poor Jud is underneath the ground
Poor Jud is daid, the candle lights his head
He's layin' in a coffin made of wood
Wood
And folks are feelin' sad cause they used to treat him bad
Now they know their friend has gone for good
Good
Poor Jud is daid, a candle lights his head
He's lookin oh so pretty and so nice
He looks like he's asleep
It's a shame that he won't keep
But it's summer and we're runinng out of ice
Poor Jud... Poor Jud

Darling, they say that our love won't grow
I just want to tell them that they don't know
For as long as you, long as you are loving me
Our love will grow wider, deeper than any sea
And all the things in the world, in this whole wide world
Is just that you would say that you'd be my girl
(Wanting you) Wanting you, (I'm lonely and blue) whoa, lonely

You never had many friends and you thought this was all right
You're rushing to meditate
You should eat but probably wait
You never thought of yourself
Why are you shaking
Why are you right when I will be the only one who gives
And lets you in tonight
Walk you could never walk away
From this speed freak collagen
Caffeinated place
You were always reaching in
Looking for somewhere to go
Nobody needs to find out
Nobody needs to know what you know
So you wonder about the past
When you know that its already been
Nothing seems to last
Can it last will it last

Cover of Massive Attack song
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
Stumbling a little
Stumbling a little
<@#Our_Lady_Peace_The_Birdman.txt#@>
Hopelessly a man starts to feed your day
Once he was there you never looked back
How did you think that his words might just fade away
He seemed harmless enough so you let him in and now you'll pay
I can't see him but he's stalking my thoughts
How does it feel when you can't concentrate?
I just stare
All of your daydreams are a seesaw for him to play on
How does it feel when he calls your name
You can plug your ears but it's not the same
How does it feel when he pulls you back
Nobody's wrong nobody's right the birdman wouldn't lie
Nobody's wrong nobody's right but I just can't trust him tonight
How do you forget a stranger that plagues your days
We arm ourselves when there's nothing to fear right?
Wrong
How does it feel when it comes to pass there's something there
But it's not quite right
How does it feel, does it make you mad?
<@#Our_Lady_Peace_The_End_Is_Where_We_Begin.txt#@>
Alone in a crowd, a missin' planet
You crash to the ground,
You never planned that, It just happened this way.
It happened this way.
The starts in your eyes,
If you believe in death you're certain to die.
If you believe in love you're always alive.
You're always alive.
You're always alive.
[Chorus]
Here I am.
Waitin' for one last chance,
'Cause this time we got, nothing left to loose,
And everything is ruined.
But the end is where we begin.
You're lost in the clouds,
I climbed a ladder but I can't talk you down.
And all that matters is tomorrow, today.
Tomorrow, today.
Tomorrow, today.
[Chorus]
And the winds will lead us somewhere.
And the winds will lead us somewhere.
Hey!
[Chorus]
Ah, the end is where we begin.
We got a long, long, long,
We got a long, long, long,
We got a long, long, long,
Long way to go.

She builds her own satellite from an old rusted chair. She leaves this old
world behind and the things that's she cares.
Maybe she's gone, but it won't be for long, what do I know? Maybe she's found
what we all dream about, what do I know?(oh)
She beautiful and wonderful. I can't compare. It's not that fair.
She builds a strong alibi from the future that's here. She needs to know I'm
alive and that I'm flesh and I tear. Maybe she's wrong, but I want my, my
own.What do I know. Breasts of silicone,with a touch of her soul.(oh) She's
beautiful and wonderful, and I can't comapare. (ohhhh) It's not that

<@#Out_Of_Eden_I_Know.txt#@>
Now you've been gone in these streets for like, three weeks now
I'm startin to worry myself, so come on back now
Don't want you dealing with a life like me
Don't want you strung out, don't want to be like me
Only fourteen and you've been with one child now
Pregnant with no shoes is where you'll end up now
You're fourteen, you've got your whole life ahead of you
What's that twenty year old man got to do with you
I wish-I made a better life for you
I wish-there was someone you could look up to
I wish-you did what I say not what I do
I wish-you'd see the future but I know you
Chorus
I know-that you want to be in these streets
I know-you think you gotta hustle to eat
I know-money doesn't matter to me
I just want you home
I know-that you've got to do what you do
I know-what's that life really doin for you
I know-that's no way to live your life
I need you to survive
Little shorty and you want to be a baller now
Want to ride on twenty-fours like a big timer now
The respect of your crew that's around you
On your way to getting kicked out your high school
Thinking drugs will get you where you need to be
You might get there but only temporarily
Before you get there you might be under about 6 feet
Or behind bars at least five fifty deep
I wish-your daddy was here to help raise you
I wish-you could see that that life ain't gon' save you
I wish-you could meet God and He could change you
I wish-get in your head and rearrange
I wish-there was someone you could look up to
I wish-you could see there's another way to get through
I wish-use your mind and that can't stop you
I wish-see the future but I know you
Chorus
God has got to hear me
(hear me when I pray)
It's heavy on my shoulders
(make it go away)
Carrying my babies
Praying for my brothers
Carrying for my sisters, my fathers, my mothers
Hoping that one day soon you'll see
All you're meant to be
Come to know the things that are true
And live the life that's meant for you
Chorus
<@#Out_Of_Eden_Sarah_Jane.txt#@>
Little sarah jane ran away from home
Fourteen and pregnent she was all alone
Couldn't run from wrong, and was gonna be sent away
Walkin' with her black and blue eyes full tears
The burden that she carries much to old for her years
Looking at her face would confirm your worst fears
But instead she goes unnoticed
Sarah Jane another girl who is dying inside
You'd think that someone would stop
But we hide, to intent on completing our day
And she's left there to say
Chorus:
Do you hear me?
Can you see me?
Walking down the street watching you
You could help me
But your not looking
I bet you would if only you knew
You could make a difference
Do you hear me?
Can you see me?
Walking down the street needing you
I want to make it
How can I get there?
If you showed me that you cared, you know
You could make the difference
He's left to watch the world from the fifteenth floor
Alone with the reminder, don't go out anymore
You know those boys are trouble here in our neighborhood
But you're my boy and you've got the chance to be something good
Still the call of the streets was too much to ignore
Now he's caught up in the game and can't find an open door
He's a good boy gone bad and he's trying to get out
But everybody's too afraid to hear what he's talking about
Marcus Brown, lives a life much too old for his age
If no one responds, he'll be words on a page
Another statistic cause no calls were made
To check on the boy who was missing from the fifth grade
Chorus
Bridge
Everywhere you turn there's hurting people passing by
Its such a shame that we could change a life but we don't try
To look outside out world

[J-Bo]
Now the wind blows as I'm on 85, and chiefin good
with a six-pack a that Colt 45 just like I should
And if I could, I will, I might, get blowed tonight
If thangs go right, I'm gon' cut this hoe tonight
So I'ma get a call, from this broad
Run the game like she ain't ready
But still indeed, she on her knees, keepin thangs steady
like Betty Crocker, the face doctor
just as she swallows with passion
So now she braggin, laggin behind
What questions she now be askin, so time is passin
Now I'm mashin on, I'm gone, livin in the world of hoes
So I suppose, it's goin down deep in yo' city

I call the crib they say "Breeze you ain't know?"
I say "What?"
"Big Time got popped in his Benzo!"
I said "Damn man, I'm riding in his Lexus
I'm bout to dump this nigga's shit in New Dimensions
Get to the crib so I can call Big Slate up
And tell 'em the money man done slipped and got his throat cut
And everything that we took from the warehouse
I heard somebody talking 'bout it at the White House
Man I thought you said that this job was for me and you
I ain't know that Bill Clampett wanted some too
You tell his folks that I'm sorry bout that Lexus
I'm 'bout to dip and see my sister up in no
Can't even tell you where I put my extra player card
Cause them Red Dog police know we homeboys
Just tell everybody who us a dime
It's the Great Hoe Round Up Yo' Money time
I got to have mine, then I'm outta here
Take a loss, come back up just like Coco Grier
Ain't got to worry bout yo' partner getting caught like a lame
It won't be over til that big girl from Decatur sang"
(It won't be over till that big girl from Decatur sang!
East Pointe police don't know a damn thing)
[Big Boi]
Yeah, it won't be over
Check this out
Can you see what I be hearing talking to spirits when I sleep
Peep this out real quick Slick, we gets on this beat and speak
about that pimp shit, that walk with that limp shit, that hemp shit
Looking up in your face I see a coward and a dimwit
Looking to run up in my private home just like you was the folks
Serving a warrant to a baby daddy, who do they come to quote?
On a Tuesday, April Fool's Day, don't get caught slipping
Leaving the keys off in the ignition, making me guilty by suspicion
Penny pinchers trying to stack for ninety-six
Buying another Fleetwood, Diamond took it, so know we's in the mix
I need to take my ass to the crib and drop the baby off
Cause them niggas at the corner sto' been looking at me for too long
Staring like accidents on highways, high days are better than sober ones
Don't be biased, but I know it has to come
So I put two in the sky to let them know I'm babysitting
Y'all don't know nothing bout Big Boi cause that nigga steady dipping
It ain't over (why that, why that) till the bitch open her mouth up
and sang
[Big Gipp]
Took me a long time to get here
Long time man
I'm talking about, years, and years
Riding past funeral fields holding bodies of my peers
If you don't educate yourself
Now how the fuck you gonna understand how you posed to get paid?
Niggas walk around get with shade tree ass ways
Fuck a fade, let my hair drag
Back and forth like a see-saw
Jumping Lily, to lilypad dad
Looking to get my Goodie feel
I'm broke in like some old men
Who'd stop them or would stop
I'm dropping lines for the big plot
Sixteen is when I started to dream
It's ninety-six I'm in your face
Can you hear that bitch scream?
(It won't be over til that big girl from Decatur sang)
<@#Outkast_Elevators_(Me_And_You).txt#@>
One for the money, yes sir, two for the show
A couple of years ago on Headland and Delowe
Was the start of something good
Where me and my nigga rode the Marta, through the hood
Just tryna find that hook up, now everyday we looked up at the ceiling
Watching ceiling fans go 'round, tryna catch that feeling
Off instrumentals, had my pencil and plus my paper
We caught the 86 Lithonia headed to Decatur
Writing rhymes, tryna find our spot off in that light
Light off in that spot, knowing that we could rock
Doing the hole in the wall clubs, this shit here must stop, like "Freeze!"
We making the crowd move, but we not making no G's, and that's a no-no
Check it, a one-two, a one-two dope niggas in the Cadillac
They call us, went from Player's Ball to ballers
Putting the South up on the map was like Little Rock to banging
Niggas say mothafuck that playing, they paying, we staying laying vocals
Locales done made it with them big boys up in this industry
"OutKast, yeah, them niggas, they making big noise"
Over a million sold to this day, niggas they take it lightly
'96 gon' be that year that all y'all playa haters can bite me, I'm out this
bitch
Me and you
Your momma and your cousin too
Rolling down the strip on Vogues
Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors
Me and you
Your momma and your cousin too
Rolling down the strip on Vogues
Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors
Back in the day, when I was younger, hunger
Looking to fill me belly with that Rally's bullshit
Pull shit off, like it was supposed to be pulled
Full as a tick, I was stoned like them white boys
Smoking them white girls, before them blunts, got crunk, chunky asses
Passes getting thrown like Hail Mary's, and they looking like Halle Berry's
So so fine, intertwined, but we ain't sipping wine
We's just chilling, I'm the rabid villain, and I'm so high
Smoking freely, me, Lil B, Reek, Mone and Shug
And my little brother James, thangs changed in the hood
Where I live at, them rats know, "Momma I want to sing
But momma I want to trick, and momma I'm sucking dick now"
We moving on up in the world like elevators
Me and the crew, we pimps like '82, me and you like Tony Toni Tone
(Like this, East Point and we gone)
Me and you
Your momma and your cousin too
Rolling down the strip on Vogues
Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors
Me and you
Your momma and your cousin too
Rolling down the strip on Vogues
Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors
Got stopped at the mall the other day, heard a call from the other way
That I just came from, some nigga was saying something, talking 'bout
Smoke something "Hey man, you remember me from school?"
"No not really" But he kept smiling like a clown, facial expression looking
silly
And he kept asking me, "What kinda car you drive? I know you paid
I know y'all got beaucoup of hoes from all them songs that y'all done made"
And I replied that I had been going through the same things that he had
True, I've got more fans than the average man, but not enough loot to last me
To the end of the week, I live by the beat, like you live check-to-check
If you don't move your feet then I don't eat, so we like neck-to-neck
Yes, we done come a long way like them slim-ass cigarettes
From Virginia, this ain't gon' stop, so we just gon' continue
Me and you
Your momma and your cousin too
Rolling down the strip on Vogues
Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors
Me and you
Your momma and your cousin too
Rolling down the strip on Vogues
Coming up, slamming Cadillac doors

Can't believe you would leave me this way.
Feelin kinda bad from the last things we said today.
Can't believe you would turn and walk away.
You know we do this again and again.
(pre chorus) You say you love me,
I come back with I hate you.
Only takes me a day to,
Realize I'm in love with you.
You say it's over
I come back with just stay boy
If you don't want my love,
Then I have no choice this time.
(chorus)Tell me baby, what to do.
I ain't trippin over you.
Any, any other time,
Remember I'm gone be fine!
How can't I make mistakes,
I dunno whats up with you.
Any, any other time
Remember I'm gone be fine!
Said you didn't mean it, that's fine.
You wanna take it back cause you're
Having a change of mind.
Sometimes sayin sorry won't do
But then some days I just can't do with out you

Rap(Outkast):
Yo, yo
Across the way
The milkman delivered this
Everyday on schedule
Ain't good use to cry over spilled lactose
When you got these vegetables
The four food groups
Ain't nothing but
Four ways to keep four families paid
Oprah went from one line to
Telling y'all silly ass rock upstate
Yeah
So for one, girl
When I met you
I'ma say this
You's was fine
You traveled around the block
I let you drive the 'Lac one time
Maybe your hearts at stake
Some of the people around
You act of fate
'Cuz you can't
Cake up, wake up
Picture make up
Straight up like that
Chorus three times fading

Nigga quit being so got damn selfish
Put it in ya pelvis
Let it work, gyrate, motivate

I'll call before I come
I won't just pop over, out the blue
I hope that you do too
I'll call before I come
I won't just won't pop up over, out the blue
No after you
Oh, thank you Lord for throwing some shy
Bones in my body let me tell you why
If not so, I'd be too, too bad
When it comes to pink polka dots and plaids
Glad to meet you, my name is Dre
But you can call me Possum Allawishes Jenkins
Andre 3000 for short
And no I don't want to see your thongs
I kinda dig them old school cute regular draws
And I will pause for your cause
[Chorus]
I'm a gentleman, I'm a satisfy your soul
And then I'm a get mine
Like Wimbledon we back and forth across the court
Until we give out, do you take it all or spit it
Are you faking the funk and living a lie
Do you really know what it feels like
To have no control over the G spot?
It's like a brand new pair of Reeboks or a junkie freshly detoxed
You feel the tingling all over like convulsions or the rooster pox
I used to not give a damn
But now I make it a point just to please you
So you can go back and tell all your buddies, I Pretty D'd you
[Chorus]
Let's see what you wanna do with the Gangsta Boo
Let's cut, nigga, nigga what, I'll cut you too
Coming through in a Escalade limo, tint with shade
Purple haze in the ashtray ready to get a blaze
What the biz nigga jump on in relax wit a lady
Wit a reputation known for sexing niggas till they crazy
What ya mean dog, telling a play like Boo to call before I come
You a game I'm fucking you for fun
Join the bandwagon nigga it's a Gangsta Boo party
Everybody wanna join come and freak wit somebody
Riding Jaguars, riding Prowlers all sports cars
Hitting strip bars wit the top down, fuck y'all
Groupie you need to be glad you even knew me
Do me and tell all my friends my truly blew me
Bitch
[Chorus]
Nigga you better dial 404-584 well bump all that
But shit you'd better call before you get here and that's a fact
Before you get your feelings hurt
Because you caught me playing nurse
Wit a stethoscope running around in one of those cut shot white skirts
I tried to tell you, but you wouldn't respond to idle wishes
Peeped in the window saw me cooking shrimp
In high heels and washing dishes
For Daddy Fat Sax and it's something I couldn't explain
I know it's a dirty, dirty game, but you should called before you came

(intro:)
What does love look like?
Love looks like you
What does love love feel like?
Love feels like this
What does love smell like?
Love smells like us
(andre 3000)
You make me understand
What it means to be in l-o-v-e once again
Why, must we fly so low?
Are we 'fraid of heights, do kites get lost in the tow
(chorus:)
Stank love, stank love, stank love, stank love
(sleepy brown)
Let me show your mind a new freaky side of love
Open up you flower please let me taste your love
Honeysuckle sweet, can't stop till I get ever drip drop on my tongue
Hitting every spot of you, what you gonna do
Your body is the rhythm of the boom in the room
Up and down it seems to go
Oh my god I think I'm bout to explode
Chorus
(big rube)
My fingertips scan flesh so supple
No longer a couple like two in one skin
Where do you end and where do I begin
Both brains become one mind sensually
Every nerve becoming it's own individual entity
With its own lusts, it's own needs to serve
Longing for the love of all the other nevers
As they writhe and twist in satisfaction
In the burning chill of please we bathe
Engulfing, encompassing like a cataclysmic shockwave
Of an impact so deep, but not one of destruction
But of creation, elation in the re-making
No taking in the relation, no taking in the relation
Just giving of ther persona making lover after making love
Till ain't nothing but stankonia

[Chorus:]
Everbody on the streets,
This a lil thesis coming from me
When I throw up baggets, sitting at the bar
Or smokin a lil red life in my car
I don't know what you came to see,
Nigga just out here feeding my kids
Throw up the duece and let me slide on by
Cuz everybody wants to be a tough guy
[Verse One: Big Boi]
Crusin down the street, minding my business cuz I'm trill
Stopped at the atm, grabbed a thousand dollar bill
Now I peel, like apples and peaches because I'm chill
And niggas around my city respect me because I'm real
But still, the things I see from day to day it hurts me
When I'm off in the '79 Seville or the Bonneville
Niggas wanna hurt me, absurd g
I know it, betta believe I tote something for it
But I gotta be smoking?????????????? Know it
And I'm not the type of person be riding around yo block just flashy
Just came to the store to get some black and milds and a lil bit of 93 gas, G
Wanna blast me, get sassy, say negative things about Outkast G
Riding all on a nigga dick, all you had to do was just dap me, come slap me
You the bad man, so go ahead and touch my cheek then
But we'll be burying you and your whole motherfucking family by the weekend
I'm calling your bluff, go'n and buck, I got my squad we trapping
Ac gone slap this nigga, he aint bucking, he just yapping, yea!
[Chorus:]
[Verse Two: Bun B]
Say, we took it from packing the pistols,
To jacking this missiles
To stacking my crystals
Now my torpedo's even cracking your missile
When we start, aint no stopping us
We too smart and too popular
Take yo toys and we? Topple em
Resort to the dopplar
To the agent underground well known as S

[Big Boi]
In the zone like Keyser Soze, always the Usual Suspect
No check, all I got in this game is my respect
And Southern pride I be, checking my fucking head
Scared, looking up in your face, boi I see dead
If you test like SAT, then I guess that we may be, enemies
In the P's freestyles be freebies
I be that wrong nigga to fuck with, wouldn't I
Wouldn't I be the wrong one to try, never eating chicken thighs
Only the twenty piece mojo, flow zone like Flo Jo
I wanted to figure out, just how low could yo' hoe go
The beat hit like Beat Street, Krush Groove and Breaking
Never baking, rebuking Satan, we had you waiting
For the Second Coming funny how time flies when you're rhyming
La-Fa-Ce records, I think they got that perfect timing
To be doper than Sadaam believe the Nation of Islam
Fuck the police and the dogs, sniffing that dope up out your car
I think they overstep they boundaries
O.J., not guilty, that's how they found he
[Andre]
I felt the pressure like sun shining, while raining at the same time
I kept on rhyming, not complaining
Storm bringing cats and dogs my catalog be the size of golf balls
Throw up your Daisy Dukes I'm Hazzard-ous to all you Boss Hoggs
And Roscoe P. Col' people, who could boost my locomotive
But enough of that everyone can rap unless they ain't supposed ta
I use my gift of gab to boast and brag in every rhyme I
Compose won't y'all get sick of that, cause I know I do when I hear those
Flows that ain't hip-hop, you find that shit in the gift shop
But to each his own, my speech is goin', keep that shit up outta my zone
Long as you happy then I'm happy
Even if you just hate my fucking guts go 'head and dap me
Cause I'm goin' dap you anyway and then go home and pray for yo' ass later
Cause we might need you in this war I'm wailing on you traitors
Like that
<@#Outkast_Xplosion.txt#@>
Hello lord, it's me again, I just wanna make to love the whole globe
And all her girlfriends now don't that make ya mind move
Like smoke patterns, me on my way to Saturn wit a bomb
Numb be it view, or Saudi Shawty
I figure before the first gun blast, they know who gone win
Now won't that make us all fools
Like class clowns praying Private Ryan comes round
Sound travels at one thousand, one thirty, feet per second
Niggaz in the street they want it hurry
When niggaz start biting that's when 3000 starts to worry
A little knowledge from the college of wizard Ray Murray
Answer quick do you know what desire is? "Huh?"
Apparently not that's why you get what you got
Now answer this do you know what fire is? "Yeah"
The body of hot, the motivator of pots
Snot, spit, shit are characteristics of release
Ask your niece or nephew, you think we left you
What the future holds in its sweaty palms
Thank I'm finna vom? Ya move like ya mean it she'll cum
Prom night might excite a down right fight like
White blood cell to the common cold rebel
Night gets jealous of day play is no longer
The feelin gets stronger than Ammonia sticks inhale
We just can't be amazed
Even if you pull the pin from your hand grenade
We just can't be amazed
Even if you pull the pin from your hand grenade
We just can't be amazed
Even if you pull the pin from your hand grenade
And we some home-made bombs
Finna blow right up in your face
Look at the way you look at me I see it on your face
All your hate emanates but you still hesitate
Cause you want inside of my head but don't know how
To brainwash me to be a commercial clown
Fuck that I see the way you were,
see the way you smirk I'm catching you where you work
God only knows all the trouble that grows
Deep beneath my soul dealing with you assholes
Can I blast those who point the finger at me
Who criticize and talk shit so freely
Fuck XXL you're a size too small
I should hire Eminem so we can kill you all
Whether you live to talk shit about the Real
Then kiss my ass in person how much you love the Hill
I'm the outcast comin to blaze the grass
Outlaw due to my life that's come to pass
Dre, pass me the glass of wine
So I can pour it over my homies grave and mine
For all those who fallen and answered when God was calling
Jump into my ragtop and get all in
I'm the bomb, planted in your car why you frozen
Pop the tape in ignite the xplosion
The world is mine, the world is yours, the world is ours
The world is lost, the world is tossed
We just can't be amazed
Even if you pull the pin from your hand grenade
And we some home-made bombs
Finna blow right up in your face
With a one-two punch, B-Real and Andre dropped they verses
Your homeboy Daddy Fat Sax playin clean-up so it worsens
People and persons on the opposite teams oh, yes its curtains
No bullets burpin' oh just lyrically twerking
Making a statement, when you freestyle
and your mind is in a free state
Is kinda hard to execute when you ain't feeling it that day
Jumpin the gun and rushing your flow
Babbling on the mikie like auctioneer, got the public's ears
Fucked up can't hear, Atlanta, Georgia where y'all at?
OutKast this Dirty South to death the Dungeon Family Camp
Got this thang lit like stamps and nine-volt battery end caps
Making that music that make your neck hurt
And the beats that bother your back in my Cadillac
Six woofers and four amps, lo pro vogues on swole
With the carriage lamps diamond tucked velour pistol in my lap
Come in peace but then xplode like booty traps

Sleeping with a time bomb,
Rumble in my dreams!
Innocence been long gone!
Fall apart at the seams.
Looking through the windows, walking through the doors,
I can't help this feeling, I been here before.
Everything is different, everything the same,
I know the rules. I played the game!
Cry out! Tell me what its gonna be!
Reach out! Is everything the same?
Cry out! Tell me what you really see!
Reach out!
As a coma steals my name
Coma. Coma!
Wake to an explosion,
Nothing! seemed so real!
Innocence corroding!!!
Alone is all I feel.
Reaching out to no one, knowing no one's there,
Afraid to be afraid of another nameless fear,
I got all the reasons, don't need no more.
Blinded by illusions, locked behind the door!
An' a coma stole my name
Coma! Coma!
Sleeping now forever,
Murdered in my dreams.
Innocence was never. never, never,
Goin' to extremes.
Busting through the windows, kickin' down the doors,
Standing up for me, never did before,
Now I lay me down to sleep, and if I die before I wake!
Cry out! Tell me what you really see!
Reach out! Is everything the same?
Cry out! Tell me what it's gonna be.
Reach out! An' a coma stole my name
Coma! Coma! Coma!
I'm outta the dive an' comin' alive.

Watch the circle, dehumanize.
Fuck the world, stay outside.
You tread on me and you will find,
That you flirt with death before your time.
Face the music and the time has come!
Into the circle!
Electroviolence.
Violence! Electroviolence.
Keep your distance, subdivide.
Do not enter, conservative type.
Sweaty bodies, bodily harm.
Abuse thy neighbour, that's the charm.
Blood! shed on everyone.
Don't mistake, violence for fun.
Blood! guilty fashion fiend,
What you here for, you don't fit in...!
Take the shot, take the pain.
Rebound! back again,
Uncivilized reaction appeals to me.
No restraints face reality.
Never victim, always vice.
Taking charge, desensitized.
Do unto others, stay unbowed.
You social misfit, you're one of us now.
Violence! Hey! violence!
Electroviolence!!!

Terminal, what disease
Told me too late
What's this cough and wheeze
Fatal, you're shittin' me
A second opinion
Is what I need
Laughin' in a windstorm
Blowin' all the cornstalks down
Cryin' in a funeral home
Forward my mail, six feet underground
Elimination
Contagious, say why not
Not just me
Waitin' to rot
Painful, yeah I know
When I had to go
I'm yankin' on my plug
And I can't seem to get it loose
Pullin' all the stops
Your ideals change. when you got
Nothing to loose.
Elimination
Eliminate the right
Eliminate the wrong
Eliminate the weak
Eliminate the strong
Eliminate your feelings
Eliminate too late
Eliminate the hope
Eliminate, eliminate
If I had just one more day
I'd turn it all around
I'd make a play of good, clean livin'
And dig me out of the ground
And if I had just one more day
I'd say it to your face
Pull the plug on everyone
Eliminate this race.
We want to cure
And we want it now.
Reissue hope
We don't eare how
You're makin' a mess
Diseasin' a nation
Runaway train to elimination
Hopeless there's no doubt
Set on a slow burn
From the inside out
Carefully say what for
Last one out
Closes the coffin door
Spendin' all you saved
And wishin' for a little more
If I'm lookin' at the ceilin'
Then I must be layin' on the floor.
Terminal, what disease
Told me too late
What's this cough and wheeze
Fatal... you're shittin' me
A second opinion
There's gotta be
Laughin' at the epidemic
Something is going around
Crying at the epidemic
Pullin' on nails, six feet underground.

Take a look.
Take a good long look, and tell me what you see.
Through time passing.
Make a stand.
In your way,
Leaves way, too much for me.
On the edge,
Standing.
I was there when lightning struck,
I watched the idols fall.
I could see it coming,
Could read the writing on the wall!
Time. Time after time.
The end of the line.
We stand and watch it fade away
Sign of the time's the end of the line.
It's your move.
So play, it right.
Sometimes you get just one chance.
Superstitious.
No!
If I had the time I still wouldn't dance.
I was there when lightning struck,
And yes I kept my head.
I could feel them coming,
Could feel the living dead!!! Dead! Dead!!!
Save your breath,
Don't pray for me, pray for yourself.
Through time, keeling.
It's the end.
It snuck up
Quick and took you by surprise.
The waiting's over.
I was there when lightning struck,
I watched the idols crawl.
It was the second coming.
It was written on the wall!

Who will reap the profit of the lie?
Fantasy,
Illusion fusion impressions of a high...
Sacred is the being of the lie.
Drawn is a picture of myself,
It's all that I see, leaving!
Gone are the cries I heard for help,
The mirror spits,
Reflections of a lie.
Are you waiting for a chance?
Won't happen standing in the rain.
Damage done,
The truth is drowning in a sea of hate...
Wet, they wear the fiction like a badge over their hearts.
Drawn is a picture of myself,
It's all that I feel bleeding!
Gone are the cries I made for help,
The mirror spits,
Reflections of a lie.
Feed my head! I'm hungry for a lie.
Be sure and teach your children well,
To use it pure and slow.
Be sure they teach their children,
Be sure the children's children.
Slight of hand, slight of word.
Slight to believe, the absurd.
Feed my head I'm hungry.
I'm hungry for a lie.
Drawn is a picture of myself,
It's all that I see grieving!
Gone are the cries I made for help,
The mirror spits,
Reflections of a lie.
Feed my head of a lie!
Feed my head reflections of a lie.

Hey baby, dead baby devil he embracin' you
With a long forked-tongue-kiss
Suckin' all the life from you
If you need to reach me
I'm breaking one through ten
And if you really need me

Passion on a ??????? gotta get it while it's not
With a self-centered psychopath givin' a forget-me-not
Rape me, rape me everybody gets in line

Lay on down in the bed you made
It's a little too late to cry
Or too be afraid
Driven by the high heat, call it love
Driven by the high heat
Of the velvet glove
Call it free-will,call it choice
You know you ain't alone now
There's a second voice
When you're not alone
Short view on the eye, a pocketful a' pestilence
With a fistful a' memories, a long lost innocence
Be-be-be-baby devil he embracin' you

Standing on your own two feet
Inches away from infernal heat
Sweating like a piece of meat
The story yours, the plan complete
Calling out to no one there
The semblance of a holy prayer
That turns about to curse and swear
As you find that no one cares
I got the ultra thrill
You got the weaker will
You say that no one's there
I say, I've always cared
I'm singing, your plight
Grace dancing, all night
Give a little dominance
Take a little soul
Try a new experience
Doing what you're told
Go get everything you need until you're dead and cold
Give a little dominance
Take a little soul
Wishing never gets it done
Give two minus one
Take away, no there's none
All this bullshit weighs a ton
Field the question never why
Because is why we live and die
So while I'm here, going high
Fuck the limit, fuck the sky
I got the ultra thrill
You got the weaker will
You say that no one's there
I say, I've always cared
I'm singing, your plight
Grave robbing, all night

When I look into your eyes it keeps me together
When I hear your private lies I don't feel any better
Clouds will gather over me,
Rain will soak me down ,
As I remember, my December
Just to the tell, upon what is tell
On the left side of the dawn
Leaving the the traces, forgotten the faces
Of the last December morn
Nothing but the truth is all I wanted
Everything I had was always counted
Clouds will gather over me,
Lightening strike me down,
As I remember my, my December
From the hand of god that squeeze me
To the firestorm that feeds me
In my December
In a world too much
For the likes of man
Who can't remember

He returns, again begins.
Again to bend, and tear the will.
A witness to this Overkill!!!
Awaken! Awaken in me,
Through my eyes! through my eyes you will see,
What is real, what is to be.
All the madness, madness in me...
You taste the blood that I long for,
Regain my strength and complete my chore...!
Like a serpent!, poised to strike.
Like the moon... that, fills the night.
You, the question, answer they cried.
You've always been destined to ride.
Passion rests in an empty will,
The nightmare continues.
Into the night!
A rider goes then disappears,
Out! of the light.
He reappears again.
Beware!
One eye does follow you.
To kill again!
And again!!!
Slow and sure, a beating heart.
Is sure to have, the killing starts
The beating stops, fin de la vie.
Overkill rides again!!!
A killer like no man,
A faster death, by one's own hand.
Safety comes, when the wind is still.
This the legend, Overkill!

Shattered dreams.
Are not all that they seem.
The light can change from white to blue to green.
Left to right.
There's power in the night.
And the power surge,
Driven by the light!
Power! building up,
Power! all around you,
Power! you feel it.
Power! a power surge!
Stay... away.
There's something I must say.
This light reduces all that's in it's way.
In... the dark.
Ignited by a spark.
A fire burns, a fire makes its mark!
See the flash.
A mountain turns to ash.
Recollection, echoes of the past.
Right to left,
Power's what you get.
And the power surge,
Isn't over yet!
Power! building up,
Power! it's coming back,
Power! feel it.
Power! power surge!
Coming out of the sun.
There are battles to be won.
Colors change from blue to red.
Forgotten heroes, piles of dead.
A mass of steel, down in flame.
Power surge remains the same.
Commandeer turns to dust,
The mass of steel begins to rust...
Power! building up,
Power! coming back,
Power! in the air!.
Power! a power surge!

Seem to happen everyday
Not sure where I'm goin'

You know it seems to cover me
With full-blow mediocrity
Not sure where I'm goin'
Or where I sinned
In quiet desperation claw
On my soul I feel them gnaw
Without hesitation render me
Unconscious in too much too soon
I long for days inside the womb
Without hesitation comfort me
I wait for salvation come
You know it keep me on the run
And put me in this place and keep me here
I know I got my cross to bear
I keep it with me everywhere
Keeps me in the race that keep me here

You think you're big time?! You gonna fucking die! Big time!
You ready?! Here come the pain! "- Al Pachino 'Carlito's Way'
Waiting for my heart to stop, I hear it beating in the dark,
It keeps me up here, where I lay.
A constant source of agrivation for an overactive imagination,
Keeps me awake, here where I lay.
I.... Will wait.
I will I will wait!
Sizing up a brand new rope, to use it now would be a joke,
To hang me up here, where I wait.
Turning on the light that blinds me, to make it easier to find me,
And light me up here, where I wait.
I.... Will wait!
I will I will wait!
(Not the smell of mercy on me!) Erase the pain of what I know,
Not the smell of mercy on me!
(Not the smell of mercy on me!)I'm reaching down into a new high in lows! Not

What's been doin' where ya comin' from?
Hey hey hey,
Where you been hiding? Been missing more than some.
Took a ride when I should'a walked,
Got there way to fast.

First become the last.
Waiting for my heart to stop, I hear it beating in the dark,
It keeps me up here, where I wait.
But I... Will wait.
I will I will wait!

Out on this road takes its toll
And you pay for everything you do
Under lights, made me blind
This place is the same as last night
Out of control takes its toll
But you learn to live with your dreams
Speaking your mind to those you find
Listening to what you have to say
I wouldn't change the way
I wouldn't stop the decay
Promised the world, as your world
Changed before your eyes
And the days became the weeks
And the weeks the years
And no one remembers that very first day
Or how it slipped away
Forever I wait, pulling in, pulling out
As the motors whine
To remind me I'm home
And I'm here to stay
As we decay
Another day
Decay away
I'm goin' home, I don't know where
I'm goin' home, not far from here
Out on this road, paint this toll
Make me whole, set the stage
Fill it with anger, fill it with rage
No I don't know what's today
I know it falls in the years of decay
Self, sacrifice, every night
And together we paid a price in blood
That spilled out through the years
And another day passes away
Look to the black, drawn farther back
Look to each day, see the decay
Times I've had, good and bad
Win or lose, this is what I choose
<@#Owl_City_Cave_In.txt#@>
Please take a long hard look through your text book
'Cause I'm history
When I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone
Cause I've been dying to leave
Yeah, I'll ride the range and hide all my loose change
In my bedroom
'Cause riding a dirt bike down a turnpike
Always takes it's toll on me
I've had just about enough
Of quote, "diamonds in the rough"
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern
Or I'll cave in (I'll cave in, I'll cave in)
If the bombs go off
The sun will still be shining (the sun will still be shining)
Because we've heard it said that every mushroom cloud
Has a silver lining
(Though we're always undermining too deep to know)
Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
'Cause the road tastes like wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane
Mixed with stale gasoline
I'll soak up the sound trying to sleep on the wet ground
I'll get ten minutes give-or-take
'Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake
Get me out of this cavern
Or I'll cave in (cave in, cave in, cave in, cave in, cave in)
Get me out of this cavern
Or I'll cave in
I'll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in (in case my head caves
in)
'Cause if my thoughts collapse or my framework snaps
It'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe
Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track (so I stay on track)
And if my intentions stray I'll wrench them away
Then I'll take my leave and I won't even look back
I won't even look back

This is driving me crazy
Dementia, Dementia, Dementia
Every light in the night flickered in and out
Every bone in my back shivered up and down
Keep the pace in case all the magic dies
'Cause this is driving me crazy
Every voice from my head shouted yes and no
Every freight train that fought fought to stop and go
Keep the pace in case all the magic dies
'Cause this is driving me crazy
Be surprised I'm a ghost keeping out of sight
Open up your eyes you're a star in the summer night
This is love this is war, it's insanity
Dementia you're driving me crazy!
Dementia, you're driving me crazy!
This is driving me crazy
Every tear in my eyes dripping wouldn't drop
Every disc in my spine shook and couldn't stop
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
'Cause this is driving me crazy
Every hand let me go that I try to hold,
Every warm heart it loved left me feeling cold
Keep the pace just in

Call back the cap-com,
Tick off the time-bomb
Let felicity fly
Armour the airlock
Blanket the bedrock
And kiss the planet goodbye
Dear God, I was terribly lost
When the galaxies crossed
And the Sun went dark
But dear God, You're the only North Star

Fight back the flight deck
Bring on the breakneck
Cue the solar eclipse
Summit the sunset
Dovetail the dragnet
And blow your backbone to bits

And the Sun went dark
But dear God, You're the only North Star

Oh telescope
Keep an eye on my only hope
Lest I blink and be swept off the narrow road
Hercules, you've got nothing to say to me
'Cause you're not the blinding light that I need
For He is the saving grace

Dear God, I was terribly lost
When the galaxies crossed
And the Sun went dark
But dear God, You're the only North Star
I would follow this far
<@#Owl_City_My_Everything.txt#@>
When my hope is lost
And my strength is gone
I run to you, and you alone
When I can't get up and I can't go on
I run to you, and you alone
'Cause you're my light in the dark
And I sing with all of my heart
Hallelujah
My almighty God divine
Hallelujah
I am yours and you are mine
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're my everything
When I'm plagued with pain
And filled with fear
I run to you, and you alone
When my days are few
And death is near
I run to you, and you alone
'Cause you're my light in the dark
And I sing with all of my heart
Hallelujah
My almighty God divine
Hallelujah
I am yours and you are mine
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
When trouble comes and goes
And when the cold wind blows
I lift my hands up, I lift my hands up
When sorrow knocks me down
And you pick me off the ground
I lift my hands up, I lift my hands up
And I sing, Hallelujah
My almighty God divine
Hallelujah
I am yours, and you are mine
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
By the grace of God above
Hallelujah
Our shining light to shine above
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
This is all I know I will say
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're my everything
Ohh ohh, you're my everything

Shipwreck in a sea of faces
There's a dreamy world up there
Dear friends in higher places
Carry me away from here
Travel light, let the sun eclipse you
'Cause your flight is about to leave
And there's more to this brave adventure
Than you'd ever believe
Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky (you take to the sky)
On the heels of war and wonder
There's a stormy world up there
You can't whisper above the thunder
But you can fly anywhere
Purple burst of paper birds
This picture paints a thousand words
So take a breath of myth and mystery
And don't look back
Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky (you take to the sky)
There's a realm above the trees
Where the lost are finally found
Touch your feathers to the breeze
And leave the ground
Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky
(You take to the sky)
(You take to the sky)
<@#Owl_City_West_Coast_Friendship.txt#@>
Are you out there
Where the rainy days begin
To feel rather sad
And the walls are closing in
Like the darkness around me
It's so hard to look away
When the daylight doesn't ever stay
Above this dull apartment view
Oh, I will surround you
It's quite clear that I'm stuck here
So I'll devise a plan
And cut out a door in my new living room floor
The porch light is so bright
That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape
Of the rusty fire escape
I bought a one way ticket
'Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane
And we were going down
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean
I realized I must be in California
Aloha, my happy West Coast friends
Do you feel alive
When the breaking waves arrive
And wash all around you
The beach homes and ocean side
Are quite well known by the evening tide
And we can sleep where we reside
With redwoods around us
The blue air is up there
And could I bring it down
I'd bottle it up, and save it for a sweet summer night
I bought a one way ticket
'Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane
And we were going down
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean
I realized I must be in California
I must be in California
Am I awake or is this just a dream'
The new year is out here
And I will make a lovely list
Of your charms
So I'll never feel alone in your arms
I must be in California
I must be in California
I must be in California
<@#Ozzy_Osbourne_A.V.H..txt#@>
I get up and I get down
I don't know how to take it
All the pain makes me scream and shout
I wonder if I'll make it
I love the feeling when the magic is just right
There's no revealing what is hidden in the night
Riding on a train that I can't control
No one else to blame and I can't let go
In the darkness I can feel
The things that makes me crazy
Hands of madness cold as steel
I find it quite amazing
Never forsaking what a dreamer needs to know
Rules meant for breaking and the seeds I have to sow
Riding on a train that I can't control
No one else to blame and I can't let go
It's calling me, It's calling me
It's calling me, It's calling me
I'm riding on a train that I can't control
See no evil, fear no fright
Never lose the living
Keep the targets in your sight
Know the cards you're dealing
Never forsaking what a dreamer needs to know
Rules meant for breaking and I gotta let, I gotta it go
<@#Ozzy_Osbourne_Aimee.txt#@>
Tell me what do I do about it?
When you break down and cry
I try to give you all my love and affection

Oh Aimee, I know I've been unkind

Oh Aimee, let's leave it all behind
'Cause I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you

So much to live for
When I'm feeling down you just turning around
And the pain isn't there anymore

I'm sick and tired of your excuses
Can't deal with living anymore
I'll give you reasons to continue
While you lie writing on the floor
I'll wash away your lies
And have you hypnotized
There'll be no compromise today
I'll share your life of shame
I think you know my name
I'll introduce myself today
I'm the demon alcohol
Demon alcohol
I'll get you
If you could deal with your reflection
I'm sure you'd see into my eyes
There'll be no need for resurrection
Let's drink to people of the lies
Although that one's too much
You know ten's not enough
There'll be no compromise today
I'll watch you lose control
Consume your very soul
I'll introduce myself today
I'm the demon alcohol
Demon alcohol
Ha ha

Demon alcohol, let's party

I'm sick and tired of resolutions
You've quit me time and time again
Don't speak of suicide solutions
You took my hand, I'm here to stay
This time it's you or me
I'll never set you free
There'll be no compromise today
So satisfy your lust
Too much can't be enough
I'll introduce myself today
I'm the demon alcohol
The demon alcohol
Aha

Everybody knows all the highs and all the lows,
And in that nothing ever goes right,
It's not up to me if you look but you don't see,
What could obviously be alright?
Like goin' nowhere,like goin' nowhere baby
Nowhere baby, like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision,not religion,
And the truth is plain to see,
It's a feeling,it's revealing,
Nowhere you can hide,
So don't blame me.
There's no guarantee what you get is what you see,
Don't try to find it,just don't try,
Don't try living in the past,if you want your dreams to last,
Don't hide behind the mask of lies,
Like goin' nowhere,like goin' nowhere baby,
Nowhere baby, like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision,not religion,
And the truth is plain to see,
It's a feeling,it's revealing,
So don't blame me [Repeat x4]
Deep inside of me,lives a hunger to be free,
I know I'll have to pay the prize,
I may never know when it comes or when it goes,
I guess it's just a part of life?
Like goin' nowhere,like goin' nowhere baby,
Nowhere baby, like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere,
It's a vision,it's religion,
And the truth is plain to see,
It's a feeling,it's revealing,
Nowhere you can hide,
So don't blame me [Repeat x4]

When I think of all the good times that I've wasted having good times
When I think of all the good times that 's been wasted having good times
When I was drinking
I should've been thinking
When I was fighting
I could've done the right thing
All of that boozing
I was really losing
Good times
Good times
When I think of all the good time that's been wasted having good times
When I think of all the good time that we wasted having good times
All of my lying
I remember her crying
All of the talking
I could've been walking
Instead of complaining
I could've been gaining
Good times
Useless talking
All that walking
All of my sinning
I could've been winning
I have it too easy
And its a beginning of a good time
Good times
When I was drinking
I should've been thinking
When I was fighting
I could've done the right thing
All of that boozing
When I was really losing
All of my sinning
I could've been winning
Oh yeah, I am ready for a good time

Cheese is good
It makes me smile
But then I watch it fade away
And I cry
And I want to die
Because I like cheese
But it's not there anymore
And I realize
That I like death
But not as much as cheese
Chorus: I like death, but not as much as cheese
I like death, but cheese puts me at ease
I like death, but cheese is better
Oh oh oh oh yeah cheese cheese cheese
I saw you yesterday
I'm so misunderstood
You don't believe that I like cheese
As much as I say I do
You think I like death better
But your wrong
Satan told me so
Satan likes cheese
We like cheese together
Me and satan
Eating cheese
Feeding each other cheese in the moonlight
[Chorus: X2]
I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm a very cheesey old man
I like death, but cheese is better
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Cheese is the anti-christ
But not as much as me
Or satan
Because he's more anti-christ than me
And we like cheese
(chorus repeats over and over again and slowly fades intil song ends)

Is it the voice of your laughter
That echoes in vain
In the vessel of your sorrow
And pain
It is the beat of a heart that
You hear in your mind
Something's missing but you
Cannot explain
You've searched your soul for
Feeling
Over and over now over and
Over now
There is no use in dreaming
Over and over now over and
Over now
It is the chain that you're
Dragging
That was once your relief
That's like everything that's
Born to die
And the birth of a doubt that
Was once your belief
Is drowning in the tears that
You cry
It all remains a mystery
For ever and ever now
Ever and ever now
The things that were are
History
Forever and ever now
Ever and never now
It's never too later to cry
It's never too late for
Goodbyes
It's never too later to cry
You know you were born to die
If the messiah is coming
Will he be too late
To reconcile our tears with
Our hate
And the memory of freedom
That imprisons our heart
And we're greeted by the cold
Hand of fate
It's never too later to cry
It's never too late for
Goodbyes
It's never too later to cry
You know you were born to die

Thoughts about you just won't let me sleep at night
Blinded by obsession and despair
All you are is just synthetic paradise
Steal my love from me without a prayer
The euphoria rushes through my veins
The eternal possession driving me insane
I must be dreaming
I'm running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare
Feed me lies and cover with a smile of grace
Promise me the truth and I'll be saved
Take away the pain and make my heart be brave
Comfort me forever, I'm your slave
I know there will be a price to pay
I'll feel the guilt tomorrow but I'm numb today
I'm dreaming
I'm running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare
[Solo]
I'm running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare
I'm running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare

On his way to dinner when it took him by surprise
And with one pull of the trigger he would vanish overnight
Dancing by the roadside, holding on for dear life
The a gun from out of nowhere made a widow of his wife
I don't mind, single file down the runway
Feelin' fine, and I'll see you my friend
Over and over again
Who can we get on this case?
We need Perry Mason
Someone to put you in place
Calling Perry Mason
Riding painted horses, oh the kids the love it so
You can see it on their faces, how they love the wind to blow
Minding my own business like my mama always said
But if I don't try to help'um they could wind up on the front page
I don't mind, draw the line then draw me an arrow
Feelin' fine, then I'll see you my friend
Over and over again
Who can we get on this case?
We need Perry Mason
Someone to put you in place
Calling Perry Mason
Wake me when it's over, tell me it's all right
Just keep on talking baby, I've been doing this all night
How much did you give me, tell me it'll be all right
Who can we get on this case?
We need Perry Mason
Someone to put you in place
Calling Perry Mason, again, again, again, again

So what's with your kind
You scavenge to find
What makes you
Sepreme in design
Accuse you cause they had the fun
So differently divine
When my mind goes override
Its so typical to capture anonyminty
I choose the crowd to divide
So you'll see I try
(Jon) cannot ever displace
You see I'm jaded at times
(Jon) from nowhere leaving this place
So you see me die
(Jon) right in front of your face
You see I'm jaded at times
(Jon) from nowhere leaving this place
They made us with a tool
Then they taught us how to live
We met the candyman
He filled us with his contraband
Then they scared us all away
While your visiting your bubble of reality
Salivating at the sound of the bells
I'll be seducing you through your confession
They've been the ones you've known forever
Someones been lied to
With all the rage caught us dismal
At times we've known forever
You've been denied of supervision
Just a test tube life away
How could you make believe that we've lived through circumsicion
When it's right here next to me
Friendships changed to time
They'd never let us leave
You took your time too late
Missing what you've never had
I'll be the only one who knows
Just how we've been abused

You've seen life through distorted eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn
The race is run the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And now there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see again
The light of day
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
Where can you run to
What more can you do
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell
Everything around you
What's it coming to
God knows as your dog knows
Bog blast all of you
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you

I'll never bother keeping up with you
Burning the candle at both at both ends it's true
You know the writings on the wall why do you ride to take a fall
Slow down your moving way to fast
Slow down you know you'll never last
Slow down your haste is making waste
Slow down and join the human race
I tried to tell you time and time again
You know you'll have to pay the consequence
Now your obsessed with such a pace
But slow and steady wins the race
Slow down your moving way to fast
Slow down you know you'll never last
Slow down your haste is making waste
Slow down and join the human race
You seem to run around and round in vain
People are saying that you've gone insane
Tell me just what you're running from
One day you're here and the next you're gone
Slow down you're moving way to fast
Slow down you know you'll never last
Slow down your haste is making waste
Slow down and join the human race

Won't you listen?
When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you, for your surprise
You introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind
I love you, oh you know it
My life was empty forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
Come on now, try it out
Straight people don't know, what your about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you sweet leaf

And infliction of pain

Stopping war
Then thank god for the bomb

War is just another game
Tailor made for the insane
But make a threat of their
Annihilation
And nobody wants to play
If that's the only thing that
Keeps the peace
Then thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb

Today was tomorrow
Yesterday
It's funny how the time can slip
Away
The face of the doomsday
Clock
Has launched a thousand wars
As we near the final hour
Time is the only foe we have
When war is obsolete
I'll thank god for the war's
To end
But any talk about hell
Freezing over
Is all said with tongue in cheek
Until the day the war drums
Beat no more
Then thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb
Nuke ya nuke ya

What kind of person lives behind that face?
Inside your midnight eyes I'm staring into space
I don't understand
What kind of man do you think I am?
I'm falling out of control
You took my body and you tore out my soul
I don't understand
I'm just a simple man I am
I am
I don't really give a damn
You take me just the way I am
And only I have the answer
I'm not owned by Uncle Sam
And you're still guessing who I am
I'm your voodoo dancer
Voodoo dancer
Consider my feelings just one time
I've done my sentence even though there was no crime
I'm an innocent man
I should have learned to walk before I ever ran
I'm still running
You never know the secrets that I have inside my head I'm clever
My crystal ball it tells me all the things I wanna know forever
Now I'm feeling the emptiness inside still concealing
All the things I tried to hide forever
I don't understand
I don't really give a damn
You take me just the way I am
And I have the ultimate answer
I'm not owned by any man
And now you know just who I am
Yes I'm your voodoo dancer
Would you like to come and play in my fantasy?
There'll be no one there baby, just you and me

Nothing done and nothing said
Talking to me with your eyes
What they say is no surprise
Things are so much different now
But nothing lasts forever
You, looking at me, looking at you
I wanna talk to you
You, looking at me, looking at you
Carry on from day to day
Even when we touch it seems miles away
I know you know I know too
Is it me or is it you?
Things are so much different now
But nothing lasts forever
I had a dream that we were through
I can't imagine nights without you, yeah
Looks and fixes can we repair
Talking good and we just stare
Waste of love is waste of life
Save our love from the final knife
Things would be so different then
Our love would last forever

Well I gotta funny feeling
But I'm gonna stay cool
Something's telling me I'm
Gonna break all the rules
Let me tell ya I'm not insecure
But I gotta empty feeling
Think that you got the cure
You said it all, youve got to stay
To proud to fall, no more to say
Well I'm feeling sober but I'm high on the throne
Like a demon sick of sin and tired of being alone
I've made a bed that's hard to lie in
But if loving you is wrong can't do nothing but sin
You said it all, youve got to stay
To proud to fall, no more to say
You said it all, youve got to stay
To proud to fall, no more to say
Let them hang me, they would if they knew
Even half the things I've been doing with you
Walk me to the gallow and drop me to the floor
And watch me swinging and I still want more
You said it all, youve got to stay
To proud to fall, no more to say

I thought that you were driving, but you've given me the wheel
There's rain clouds out there, that you don't wanna feel
Your anger's like a razor blade, it's just too bloody real
I thought that you would be here, no I just don't get it
Hey, I also feel things more than I should
I don't relax very often, as often as I could
I worry how the whole thing looks, it doesn't look good
But I thought that you would be here, no I just don't get it
And being clear gets too much for me, just like it does for you
Even though I want to, I want to, I don't
I don't feel like calming down, no I don't
I don't feel like hiding out, so I won't
I can't turn the volume down, so I sit here in this
Chaos and piss, watching the storm passing
Storms are beautiful, right here it's beautiful
I came all this way to be with you, and you're already gone
If I was a good friend, I could right this wrong
I'd kick away your crutches, make you walk on your own
I really thought you'd be here, I just don't get it
Though it looks warm in the rabbit hole, I could go down with you
Even though I want to, I want to, I won't
I don't feel like calming down, no I don't
I don't feel like hiding out, so I won't
I can't turn this volume down, so I sit here in this
Chaos and piss, watching the storm passing
It's beautiful
I'm a willow tree, you can't blow me over
And my roots go deep in anger
I wanna feel the wind as it whips me like a prisoner
I wanna be here
I wanna be here
No, I don't feel like calming down, no I don't
I don't feel like hiding out, so I won't
I can't turn the volume down, so I sit here in this
Chaos and piss, watching the storm passing
Storms are beautiful, this life is beautiful

You're angry

The world couldn't care less
You're lonely
I feel this
And you wish you were the best
No teachers
Or guidance
And you always walk alone
You're crying
At night when
Nobody else is home
Come over here and let me hold your hand and hug you darling
I promise you that it won't always feel this bad
There are so many things I want to say to you
You're the girl I used to be
You little heartbroken thirteen year old me
You're laughing
But you're hiding
God I know that trick too well
You forget
That I've been you
And now I'm just the shell
I promise
I love you and
Everything will work out fine
Don't try to
Grow up yet
Oh just give it some time
The pain you feel is real you're not asleep but it's a nightmare
But you can wake up anytime
Oh don't lose your passion or the fighter that's inside of you

Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
'Cause you're the only one that I know who'll keep
Them
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
I know you'll keep them, and this is what I've
Done
I've been a bad, bad girl for so long
I don't know how to change what went wrong
Daddy's little girl when he went away
What did it teach me? That love leaves
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
'Cause you're the only one that I know who'll keep
Them
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
I know you'll keep them, so this is what I've
Done
I've been down every road you could go
I made some bad choices as you know
Seems I have the whole world cradled in my hands
But it's just like me not to understand
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
'Cause you're the only one that I know who'll keep
Them
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
I've been a bad, bad girl
I learned my lessons
I turned myself around
I've got a guardian angel tattooed on my shoulder
She's been watching over me
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
'Cause you're the only one that I know who'll keep
Them
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
I've been a bad, bad girl
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
'Cause you're the only one that I know who'll keep
Them
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
I've been a bad, bad girl
I've been a bad, bad girl
<@#P!nk_How_Come_Youre_Not_Here.txt#@>
Where have you been
Where have you gone
And have I done something wrong
You're the tooth fairy
You're like Santa Claus
You're like white noise
When I want my favorite song
Just come on back
And come on home
It ain't super smart to leave me alone
Light a flare, pick up the phone
I'm like a stoner babe without my bong
Are you hiding in the closet
Are you underneath the bed
Did you go for a long walk off a short pier
How come you're not here
Should I worry you've been bitten
Or somebody got you high
Quick come back
Or I might just die
How come you're not here
I've heard some rumors
About another girl
I heard she's cute
But she stores nuts like a squirrel
And that's all cool
I'll wait right here
'Til you get bored
And she gets carded for beer
I'm the one
I'm just that slick
You won't find better
I'm honey dipped
There ain't a thing
That's fake on me
I miss you baby
Come home to me
Are you hiding in the closet
Are you underneath the bed
Did you go for a long walk off a short pier
How come you're not here
Should I worry you've been bitten
Or somebody got you high
Quick come back
Or I might just die
How come you're not here
Has anyone seen
Has anyone seen
Has anyone seen why he's hiding from me
Can anyone see
Can anyone see
Can anyone see let's play hide and seek
Are you hiding in the closet
Are you underneath the bed
Did you go for a long walk off a short pier
How Come You're Not Here
Should I worry you've been bitten
Or somebody got you high
Quick come back
Or I might just die
Quick come back
Or I might just die.

[Verse 1]
Right from the start you were a thief, you stole my heart,
And I your willing victim.
I let you see the parts of me that weren't all that pretty,
And with every touch you fixed them.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh,
Things you never say to me, oh, oh,
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love.
[Chorus]
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough,
Just a second, we're not broken just bent,
And we can learn to love again.
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts,
We're not broken just bent,
And we can learn to love again.
[Verse 2: Nate Ruess]
I'm sorry I don't understand where all of this is coming from.
I thought that we were fine (oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again, my dear we still have everythin',
And it's all in your mind (yeah, but this is happenin')
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh,
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh,
There's nothing more than empty sheets,
Between our love, our love.
Oh, our love, our love!
[Chorus]
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough,
Just a second, we're not broken just bent,
And we can learn to love again.
I never stopped, you're still written in the scars on my heart,
You're not broken just bent,
And we can learn to love again!
[Hook]
Oh, tear ducts and rust,
I'll fix it for us.
We're collecting dust,
But our love's enough.
You're holding it in,
You're pouring a drink!
No nothing is as bad as it seems.
We'll come clean!
[Bridge]
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough,
Just a second, we're not broken just bent,
And we can learn to love again.
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts,
We're not broken just bent,
And we can learn to love again.
[Chorus]
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough,
Just a second, we're not broken just bent,
And we can learn to love again.
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts,
That we're not broken just bent,
And we can learn to love again.
[Outro]
Oh, we can learn to love again,
Oh, we can learn to love again.
Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent,
And we can learn to love again.

One night to you
Lasted six weeks for me
Just a bitter little pill now
Just to try to go to sleep
No more waking up to innocence
Say hello to hesitance
To everyone I meet
Thanks to you years ago
I guess I'll never know
What love means to me but oh
I'll keep on rolling down this road
But I've got a bad, bad feeling
It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way to happy
Left my childhood behind
In a roll away bed
Everything was so damn simple
Now I'm losing my head(losing my head)
Trying to cover up the damage
And pad out all the bruises
Too young to know I had it
So it didn't hurt to lose it (didn't hurt to lose it)
Didn't hurt to lose it (didm't hurt to lose it)
No but oh
I'll keep on rolling down this road
But I've got a bad, bad feeling
It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way
Now I'm numb as hell and I can't feel a thing
But don't worry about regret or guilt cause I never knew your name
I just want to thank you
Thank you
From the bottem of my heart
For all the sleepless nights
And for tearing me apart yeah yeah
It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way
It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long, long, long, long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way to happy

Nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
That I sometimes cry
If I could pretend that I'm asleep
When my tears start to fall
I peek out from behind these walls
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows no
Nobody likes
Nobody likes to lose their inner voice
The one I used to hear before my life
Made a choice
But I think nobody knows
No no
Nobody knows
No
Baby
Oh the secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
And I've lost my way back home
I think nobody knows no
I said nobody knows
Nobody cares
It's win or lose not how you play the game
And the road to darkness has a way
Of always knowing my name
But I think nobody knows
No no
Nobody knows no no no no
Baby
Oh the secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
And I've lost my way back home
And oh no no no no
Nobody knows
No no no no no no
Tomorrow I'll be there my friend
I'll wake up and start all over again
When everybody else is gone
No no no
Nobody knows
Nobody knows the rhythm of my heart
The way I do when I'm lying in the dark
And the world is asleep
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows but me

No sleep, no sex for you from your ex-girlfriend
I was too deep can't let you go and just jump in
At times i would push my feelings aside to let you feel
I'm novocaine i'm numb and nothing's real
Like the coldest winter
I am frozen from you
I was weak before now you've made me
So numb i can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all my baby
I'm numb numb numb
But the tears were silent inside you see
But the tears were silent inside you see
I laid there quiet
And watched you have your way with me
I might have cried
But the tears were silent inside you see
You called me names
Made me feel like i was dumb
I didn't feel a thing
And now im gone gone gone
Like a battered child
I got used to your pain but you know it's cause
I was weak before now you've made me
So numb i can't feel much for you anymore

Sugarcult -Pretty girl(the way)
Pretty girl is suffering, while he confesses everything
Pretty soon she'll figure out what his intentions were about
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get him out of your head
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get him out of your head
It's the way
That he makes you feel
It's the way
That he kisses you
It's the way
That he makes you fall in love
She's beautiful, as usual, with bruises on her ego and
Her killer instinct tells her to beware of evil men
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get him out of your head
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get him out of your head
It's the way
That he makes you feel
It's the way
That he kisses you
It's the way
That he makes you fall in love
It's the way
That he makes you feel
It's the way
That he kisses you
It's the way
That he makes you fall in love...love...

I've got my things packed
My favorite pillow
Got my sleeping bag
Climb out the window
All the pictures and pain
I left behind
All the freedom and fame
I've gotta find
And I wonder
How long it'll take them to notice that I'm gone
And I wonder
How far it'll take me
To run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
I was just trying to be myself
Have it your way I'll meet you in hell
It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you
Do as you say not as you do
I'll never be your perfect girl
I've got to run away
I'm too young to be
Taken seriously
But I'm too old to believe
All this hypocrisy
And I wonder
How long it'll take them to see my bed is made
And I wonder
If I was a mistake
I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These words are strapped inside my head
Tell me to run before I'm dead
Chase the rainbows in my mind
And I will try to stay alive
Maybe the world will know one day
Why won't you help me run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
I could sing for change
On a Paris street
Be a red light dancer
In New Orleans
I could start again
To the family
I could change my name
Come and go as I please
In the dead of night
You'll wonder where I've gone
Wasn't it you
Wasn't it you
Wasn't it you that made me run away
I was just trying to be myself
Have it your way I'll meet you in hell
All these secrets that I shouldn't tell I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you
Do as you say not as you do
Never be your perfect girl
I've got to run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
This life makes no sense to me
It don't make no sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
Life don't make any sense to me

Even though she knows it ain't right
She can't even call up her friends
And say "help me save my life"
She's so ashamed of herself that she's come full circle
Nobody understands what it's like to
Be this girl
So she disappeared, and she
Wasn't clear, and she
Didn't say where she was going
[Chorus:]
Save my life, won't you help me
Save my life, won't you help me
Save my life, won't you hear me
Save my life, won't you help me
She had the man of her dreams
And some success
And she was so happy, and looking well
It was this one dark night, that she
Slipped
And then the next morning that she
Felt like a piece of shit
So she's hanging out, and she's
With the crowd, and she's
Travelin' where the wind is blowing
[Chorus:]
And he's a real good guy and he
Wants to save her 'cause he's
More than been there all before
And she's so confused and his heart is breaking and he
Dreams she's knocking on his door

Did you really think you could keep her in the dark?
Does she purr? Does she make it hard?
Hard to speak, does she dress the part?
I'm sure she'll take some getting used to
Brotha', she will never be me
Feel the burn, take a spin
Suck the poison out of me, I'll make ya beg
I'll make ya come to your senses if you keep
Up the shit, take the hit
This is how it goes down, this is how it goes down
Gonna run, gonna scream, gonna crawl down on your knees
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me
Doesn't matter 'cause I'm over it now
This is how it goes down, this is how it goes down
I'm gonna rage, stay out really late
Gonna hang with all my friends you hate
I may try that three-some
Better late than never and better without you
This is your future as I see it
You will be homeless, bald and broken
She will have left you when she finds out who you are
You're nothing but an extra and, baby, I'm the star
Feel the burn, take a spin
Suck the poison out of me, I'll make ya beg
I'll make ya come to your senses if you keep
Up the shit, take the hit
This is how it goes down, this is how it goes down
Gonna run, gonna scream, gonna crawl down on your knees
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me
Doesn't matter 'cause I'm over it now
This is how it goes down, this is how it goes down
Suppose this is how the story goes
But ever since that door closed, I've been going down
(Down)
The dream in the pink got me nauseous
I should've grown more cautious and clever, whatever
You never find a dude with better head game
And you can take that both ways
You laughing like I'm playing with your fingers up like oj
Missy you would have a three-some without me, I'll pull an oj
And text you some incriminating pictures from my old days
Feel the burn, take a spin
Suck the poison out of me, I'll make ya beg
I'll make ya come to your senses if you keep
Up the shit, take the hit
This is how it goes down, this is how it goes down
Gonna run, gonna scream, gonna crawl down on your knees
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me
Doesn't matter 'cause I'm over it now
This is how it goes down, this is how it goes down

Because you're not such a big shot dude
You might wanna rethink it through
You should've asked me I would've told you the truth

I've spent enough time alone
Up in my bedroom at home
Been kinda bored lately
I hate on all I see
It's all mundane to me
This box I painted pains me
But you could watch me
You could help me down the rabbit hole with you
I could go with you
You could lead the way I'd go hand in hand with you

Oh oh oh
Today's the day I've been waiting for
Tomorrow won't come after all
Yesterday is so far away
And today is the only day
Somebody please stop the clock

Oh oh oh

No no no oh oh oh

I used to want to grow up
I thought that I could be free
But now I'm realizing
It's cool, it ain't for me
It's cool, cause all my dreams
Are more than possibilities
I get so vicious
When I don't feel delicious
I just need a friend
So much to carry
These days are kinda scary I don't want the fun to end

Oh oh oh
Today's the day I've been waiting for
Tomorrow won't come after all
Yesterday is so far away
And today is the only day

There was a 5. 8 earthquake today
And it kinda got me thinking
I'd still have all
My hate for you in tact
Even if I lost everything
What did I say
Why are you shaking your head
You know you done me wrong
I may be crazy it's all in my head
But I want you darling gone
Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must
Have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me
Eh eh eh eh
(Repeats for a bit)
It's hard to believe
I ever laughed at anything you said
Cos you're just not funny
Who would believe
I'd let you do all those things
Oh I guess the joke was on me
I tried to be zane
I've even asked all my friends
To help my let it slide
But all I see is your face
In my favourite place
And I can't help but wonder why
Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was
Must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me
Eh eh eh eh (repeats for a bit)
Yeaaahhheee

Oh, well we'd love to rest our eyes
But we hear the floor boards creek
So, we lie with one eye open and
Clutch knives between the sheets
If there's no rest for the wicked
Well, then we'll never get no sleep
We'll never get no sleep
No, we'll never get no sleep
Oh, no...
'Cause we're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention, no

Do you remember how this first begun?
Teeth were white and our skin was young
Eyes as bright as the Spanish Sun
We had nothing we could hide
Now my dear we are two golden leaves
Clinging desperately to winter trees
Got up here like a pair of thieves
While the sirens blare outside
What's left to say when every word's been spoken?
What's left to see when our eyes won't open?
What's left to do when we've lost all hope and
What's left to break when our hearts are broken?
But sometimes...
Do you remember how this started out?
So full of hope and now we're filled with doubt
A dirty joke we used to laugh about
But it's not funny anymore
I fear I choke unless I spit it out
Still smell of smoke, although the fire's gone out
Can't live with you, but I die without
What's left to say when every word's been spoken?
What's left to see when our eyes won't open?
What's left to do when we've lost all hope and
What's left to break when our hearts are broken?
But sometimes...
What's left to say when every word's been spoken?
What's left to see when our eyes won't open?
What's left to do when we've lost all hope and
What's left to break when our hearts are broken?
But sometimes...
<@#Passenger_I_Hate.txt#@>
I hate racist blokes, telling tasteless jokes
And explaining where people belong
I hate ignorant folks, who pay money to see gigs
And talk through every fucking song
I hate people in night clubs, snorting coke
And explaining where your going wrong
Well if you agree, then come hating with me
And feel free to sing along
And it goes:
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Wonderful, love it
Well I hate pointless status updates on Facebook
Fyi we were never "m8"s
We pretend to be friends on the internet
When in real life, we have nothing to say
To each other, oh brother I have love for my mother
For good times, for music and my mates
Yeah I laugh, and live and I have love to give
But sometimes all you can do is hate
And it goes:
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Well I hate them fussy eaters, you cook them fajitas
They only eat pizza and chips
I hate stepping outside, for a smoke and some guy
Coughs, like your lungs are his
And I hate queuing up, for festival toilets
Especially when you need to shit
And I hate the X-Factor, for murdering music
You bunch of money grubbing pricks
And it goes:
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
And I hate them magazines, aimed at insecure teens
That make ten year old's race to grow up
Hey kids, let's all be anorexic or better
Eat chocolate until you throw up
Keep your Hollywood stars, and their stupid cars
And the Bo-tox, that makes them look fucked
Just grow old with grace, have you seen Cher's face
It looks like it's been hit by a truck
And it goes:
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
One more time, loud as you can

I'm so brilliant
I'm a joke
My tongue is golden
I'm about to choke
And I'm holy
I'm a wreck
My voice is velvet
I have a rope around my neck
I'm so tired of this world in my head
I am the man that lost
So tired, so tired of myself
Am I the man that lost?
I'm a king
I'm a kick to the curb
I see things clear
My world is disturbed
And I'm a mountain
Yeah I'm a pile
I long for tomorrow
Haven't seen it in a while
<@#Pat_Benatar_All_Fired_Up.txt#@>
Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
I never knew the difference, I never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands, I gotta feel the kick inside
All fired up
Now I believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up, hey
Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite
[Chorus:]
All fired up
Now I believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe

Everybody go round, go round, go round
Everybody lay down, lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down
Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough, hang tough
Life a little too rough
Everybody lay down
Everybody say hey, Don't nobody say no?
Everybody say wait, Don't nobody say go? (CHORUS)
Everybody lay down
Everybody cry loud, cry loud, cry loud
Nobody too proud, too proud, too proud
To tell you what they're all about
Everybody lay down
Everybody don't care, don't care, don't care
Nobody play fair, play fair, play fair
Maybe everybody too scared
Everybody lay down

Everybody lookin' higher
Everybody want to touch the fire
Nobody willing to lay it all down
Everybody want heaven
Everybody say Amen
One thing is certain, you gotta lay it all down

Everybody go round, go round, go
Everybody lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down
Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough
When it's just a little rough, everybody lay down

<@#Pat_Benatar_Heres_My_Heart.txt#@>
Our two worlds met in strange surprise
I hid my love in thin disguise
I tried to leave, how could I stay?
What if my heart gave me away?
I always thought I'd be prepared
But love just caught me unaware
You said the words and I believed
I fell so hard, I fell so deep
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's My Heart
So true love triumphs once again
It always makes it in the end
And if you let the heart run free
It will return faithfully
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, the hour is fine
Here's My Heart
Ooh, Ooh
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Ooh... Hey, Hey, Hey
<@#Pat_Benatar_I_Wont.txt#@>
I was there when you cried like a baby
When you thought that maybe
Things weren't goin' your way
I was there when you asked me
Just 'cause you asked me and I didn't hesitate
Now that I need you, you turn away
Like I was nothing, like it was a big mistake
Come on baby, you know it ain't right
Tell me how do you sleep at night
I won't behave, sit quietly by while you take
Everything that I keep inside of me
I won't be still, Oh no, not I
'Cause there's no way that I'd stay here
I'd rather die than love you
I'd rather die than love you
You know that I would rather die
It isn't fair to take someone's heart
Tear it apart, use it like you don't care
How does it feel to be hurt
It's gonna get worse
It's gonna get ugly, I swear
How many tears can one person cry
How much is enough
When's it time to say goodbye
Come on baby, you know it ain't right
Tell me how do you sleep at night?
<@#Pat_Benatar_Ill_Do_It.txt#@>
Well the unseen sights look good to you
I notice how you survey the room
Awkward conversation and you're too polite
You know that's always a clue
I'm wasting my time tryin' to tell ya'
That you're making the mistake of your life
Cause you're so sure that you need to go
At any cost, at any price
But, I'll Do It
I'll send you out on your own, with no guarantee
I'll Do It
But when you want to come home and you look for love
Don't look for me!
Tell me, when did everything start to go wrong?
And why was I the last one to know?
You're so good at hidin' your feelings
I'm so good at lettin' mine show
Well I know how great it feels together
But that just isn't enough
Cause I need more than your bedside manner
I need someone to love
So, I'll Do It
I guess there's nothin' to say, its all been said
I'll Do It
Make sure you want it this way, 'cause when it's done this time
I'll be gone
I'll Do It
I'll send you out on your own, with no guarantee
I'll Do It
But when you want to come home and you look for love
Don't look for me!
I'll Do It
I'll Do It
I'll Do It
I'll Do It
I'll Do It

This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
This shattered dream you cannot justify
We're gonna scream until we're satisfied
What are we running for?
We've got the right to be angry
What are we running for?
When there's no where we can run to anymore
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
Won't anybody help us?
What are we running for?
When there's no where, no where we can run to anymore
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I hear you had a good offer down on Third Avenue
You tell me that was the reason
For whatcha' put me through, yeah
And now you come collapsin' back
I feel the heat of your attack
Want me to take you back
I'm givin' you the sack
So don't waste your time
[Chorus:]
It's a little too little
It's a little too late
I'm a little too hurt
And there's nothin' left that I've gotta say
You can cry to me baby
But there's only so much I can take
Ah, it's a little too little
It's a little too late
You say you had a good time
But did ya' think it was for free - yeah
And how much did it get ya', all their flattery
And now you come back, runnin' for protection
You've been bitten by love and stung by rejection
You can't connect
What did you expect?
I'm still gettin' over you
[Chorus x4]
<@#Pat_Benatar_Never_Wanna_Leave_You.txt#@>
Never could say what I want to say
Never could do what I want to do
Never could believe you, if it's true
Never could, never would, you make it so hard
I never want to leave you
I'm always right, you're never wrong
We change the tune but not the song
Over and over
Till it's done, it's never done, never done
You make it so hard
Never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
Movin' together, comin' apart
You're what I need, I'm what you want
Never could refuse you from the start
Never could, never would, never could
You make it so hard
Never could say what I want to say
Never could do what I want to do
Never could believe you, if it's true
Never could, never would, you make it so hard
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
Never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you

I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you

Just when we think we conquered it
It seems we lose the fight again
But there's just no stoppin' it
It's like a bad dream that never ends
It puts up walls between us
That get harder, and harder, and harder, and harder, and harder
To remove
But we let it continue, like people in love always do
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Lets not pretend that we're unique
'Cause everybody's tasted loves illusion
We try to hide the fact that we
Got lost between the chaos and confusion
And the love we feel
Is gettin' deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and deeper
By the minute
But we let it slip away
'Cause we don't know a good thing while we're in it
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
<@#Pat_Benatar_Out_Of_Touch.txt#@>
I've seen your picture in the paper, on the front page of magazines
I pulled the trigger right at you on billboards and movie screens
When I talk it's to myself, 'cause I know your kind just like everyone else
Maybe it'll work itself out in time, before I lose my mind
You, you're out-a-touch, all alone in the danger zone and I think too much
You're out-a-touch
I keep your letters by the mirror, you're the subject of every dream
You're not so invincible and I'm not what I might seem
When I look it's in your eyes, and I know your look, you can hypnotize
How long does it have to last like this, a Kodachrome kiss
You, you're out-a-touch, all alone in the danger zone and I think too much
You, you're out-a-touch
You're in my sight all through the night and I see too much
You're out-a-touch
Can't you see I'm obsessed, I'd do anything, I'm possessed
I'm in a constant rage with preliminary stage, I need you, I need you
I've seen your picture in the paper, on the front page of magazines
I pulled the trigger right at you on Billboards movie screens
When I look it's in your eyes, and I know your look, you can hypnotize
How long does it have to last like this, a Kodachrome kiss
You, you're out-a-touch, all alone in the danger zone and I think too much
You're out-a-touch
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
<@#Pat_Benatar_So_Sincere.txt#@>
We say I love you and we're so sincere
I look in your eyes and it becomes quite clear
You want what I want, you need what I need
When I turn to leave
You plead, and plead, and plead, and plead, and plead
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
Now I'm sure I'm right and I'm so sincere
You convince me I'm wrong with a single tear
You want me so badly, you can't live without me
When I turn to leave
You bleed, and bleed, and bleed, and plead, and plead
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're livin' so fast we're not living at all
Two sparrows tied together will always fall
We know we love each other so there's nothin' to prove
But I'm gonna smother if somebody don't move
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
<@#Pat_Benatar_We_Belong.txt#@>
Many times I tried to tell you
Many times I cried alone
Always I'm surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone
Don't want to leave you really
I've invested too much time to give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
Maybe it's a sign of weakness when I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit? Do we distort the facts?
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
When you say
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best to try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it, how much we really care
I hear your voice inside me, I see your face everywhere
Still you say
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder

I miss you darlin', more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars the above
With every heartbeat, I still think of you

As I think of the past and all the pleasures we had
As I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love

I should be happy with someone new
But my heart aches for you
Heartaches, heartaches
My loving you meant only heartaches
Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me
I can't believe it's just a burning memory
Heartaches, heartaches
What does it matter how my heart breaks

Imagine me still lovin' you
After all you've put me through
Well, I can't help it, I just do
Imagine that, and that's not the half
Imagine this, if you can
I've stood more, more than I should stand
But I'd still take you back again
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh
Can you believe I'd swallow my pride
Well, yes, yes, I guess you can
'Cause you know you've always had my foolish heart
Right in the palm of your hand
So, for what it's worth to you
It just don't matter what you might do
'Cause I'm still waitin' and lovin' you
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me shall be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom's shore, to Thy shore
When life's sun sinks in the west
Lord, may I have done my best
May I find sweet peace and rest
In that happy home of the blessed

Everything you told me I believed
You said that I was all that you'd ever need
That I made life worth livin' for you
And no one else could ever fill my shoes

But them shoes don't fit me anymore
They lost their shape when I lost all that I cared for
And someone else will fill the shoes that I once wore
'Cause them shoes don't fit me anymore
When a shoe is new, it fits awful tight
When our love was new, everything was right
When a shoe is old, you throw it away
Our love is like the shoes that you wore yesterday

I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well, that's just my way
Of sayin' I love you
I'm always walkin' after midnight, searchin' for you
I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight
Just hopin' you may be
Somewhere a-walkin' after midnight, searchin' for me
I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy

Pretty soon you'll feel the same

Walk right by her on the street

You made me want you
And all the time you knew it

You made me happy sometimes
Sometimes you made me glad
But there were times, dear
You made me feel so bad
You made me sigh for
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I want some lovin', that's true
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do
Give me, give me, give me what I cry for
You know ya got the brand o' kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you
You made me sigh for

(1)
You took him off my hands
When you stepped in
You changed everything
We're not even friends
(2)
Don't leave the job half done
Leave nothing behind
You took him off my hands
Now please take him off my mind
(3)
Please take his photograph
Engraved on my heart so blue
And take all his memories
He now belongs to you
(Repeat 2, 3, 2)
You took him off my hands
Now please take him off my mind
<@#Patsy_Cline_You_Were_Only_Fooling.txt#@>
You were only fooling
(while I was falling in love)
Words by billy faber and fred meadows
Music by larry fotine
You were only fooling,
While I was falling in love,
It's a story as old as adam and eve,
I was making love but you were making believe,
You lied to me with kisses,
I tried to stop dreaming of,
But you were only fooling me,
While I was falling in love.
(repeat from start)
<@#Patti_Smith_Beneath_The_Southern_Cross.txt#@>
Oh
To be
Not anyone
Gone
This maze of being
Skin
Oh
To cry
Not any cry
So mournful that
The dove just laughs
The steadfast gasps
Oh
To owe
Not anyone
Nothing
To be
Not here
But here
Forsaking
Equatorial bliss
Who walked through
The callow mist
Dressed in scraps
Who walked
The curve of the world
Whose bone scraped
Whose flesh unfurled
Who grieves not
Anyone gone
To greet lame
The inspired sky
Amazed to stumble
Where gods get lost
Beneath
The southern cross
<@#Patti_Smith_Broken_Flag.txt#@>
Nodding tho the lamp's lit low, nod for passers underground.
To and fro she's darning, and the land is weeping red and pale.
Weeping yarn from Algiers. Weeping yarn from Algiers.
Weaving tho the eyes are pale, what will rend will also mend.
The sifting cloth is binding, and the dream she weaves will never end.
For we're marching toward Algiers. For we're marching toward Algiers.
Lullaby tho baby's gone. Lullaby a broken song.
Oh, the cradle was our call. When it rocked we carried on.
And we marched on toward Algiers. For we're marching toward Algiers
We're still marching for Algiers. Marching, marching for Algiers.
Not to hail a barren sky. Sifting cloth is weeping red.
The mourning veil is waving high a field of stars and tears we've shed.
In the sky a broken flag, children wave and raise their arms.
We'll be gone but they'll go on and on and on and on and on.

When, when will you be landing?
When, when will you return?
Feel, feel my heart expanding
You and your alien arms
All my earthly dreams are shattered,
I'm so tired I quit
Take me forever, it doesn't matter
Deep inside of your ship.
La, la la la la la landing.
Please, oh oh won't you return?
Feel, see your blue lights are flashing,
You and your alien arms
Deep in the forest I whirl like I did as a little girl
Let my eyes rise in the sky looking for you
Oh you know, I would go anywhere at all
'cause no star is too far with you, with you
La, la la la la la landing.
Please, oh oh won't you return?
Feel, feel my heart expanding,
You and your alien arms
All my earthly dreams are shattered,
I'm so tired I quit
Take me forever, it doesn't matter
Deep inside of your ship
Land, land
Oh I am waiting for you,
Oh I am waiting for you, oh I am waiting for you,
Waiting for you to take me up by my starry spine
Ohhhh ohhhh with your distant fingers
Oh I'm waiting for you, waiting for you,

<@#Patti_Smith_Dont_Say_Nothing.txt#@>
Lower the thing the skin of a cat
Skin it to the left just laying there
No other thing is luck like that
And you set it said it said nothing
Went to the party very discouraged
I watched the litter pile like a wall
I looked at the river just couldn't forgive it
It was ladened with all kinds of shit
Still I admit that I didn't say nothing
I turned my back walked away
Got to face the fact that I didn't say nothing
Everyone was dancing I stood over in the corner
I was listening they were saying this and saying that
And putting this one down but nothing was delivered
Nothing good was coming I just stood there
I couldn't believe it but I didn't say nothing
I walked the floor then I looked away
Got to face the fact that I didn't say nothing
How long how long will we make do
Maybe it's time to break on through
Gonna lift my skirts gonna straighten up
Gonna get well I'm gonna do something
Gonna face the fact gonna give it back
And I'm gonna do something won't hold my tongue
Won't hold the thought won't hold the card
Well I'm gonna do something
Oh my brain I got to complain
You can refrain but I'm gonna do something
How long how long will we make do
Maybe it's time to break on through
Out in the desert I saw that old cat skinned
I saw it floating in the river
I saw and no one seemed to mind
They sat there they sat there watching the sun
I saw it float away and I watched the buildings crumble
Like dust in the hand and we watched the sun
Spread its wings and fly away
And in the mountains a cry echoes
Don't say nothing
Don't say nothing no
Don't say nothing no
<@#Patti_Smith_Everybody_Wants_To_Rule_The_World.txt#@>
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the
Say that you'll never never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

The wall is high, the black barn
The babe in my arms, in her swaddling clothes
And I know soon that the sky will split
And the planets will shift
Balls of jade will drop and existence will stop
Little sister, the sky is falling
I don't mind, I don't mind
Little sister, the fates are calling on you
Ah, here I stand again in this old 'lectric whirlwind
The sea rushes up my knees like flame
And I feel like just some misplaced, Joan of Arc
And the cause is you lookin' up at me
Oh baby, I remember when you were born
It was dawn and the storm settled in my belly
And I rolled in the grass and I spit out the gas
And I lit a match and the void went flash
And the sky split and the planets hit
Balls of jade dropped and existence stopped
Stopped, stop, stop
Little sister, the sky is falling
I don't mind, I don't mind
Little sister, the fates are calling on you
I was goin' crazy, so crazy, I knew
I could break through with you
So, with one hand I rocked you
And with one heart I reached for you
I knew you're a youth, was for the takin', fire on a mental plane
So, I ran through the fields as the bats with their baby vein faces
Burst from the barn and flames in a violet, violent sky
And I fell on my knees and pressed you against me
You're soul was like a network of spittle
Like glass balls movin' in like cold streams of logic
And I prayed as that lightning attacked
That something will make it go crack
Something will make it go crack
Something will make it go crack
Something will make it go crack
The palm trees fall into the sea
It doesn't matter much to me
As long as you're safe, Kimberly
And I can gaze deep into your starry eyes, baby
Looking deep in your eyes, baby
Looking deep in your eyes, baby
Looking deep in your eyes, baby
Into your starry eyes, oh
Oh, oh, in your starry eyes, baby
Looking deep in your eyes, baby
Looking deep in your eyes, oh oh
Oh, oh, looking deep in your eyes, baby
In your starry eyes, baby
Looking deep in your eyes, baby

You say hey
The state of the union
Is fine fine fine
I got the feeling that you're lying
Lying lying lying
I think we need
Think we're gonna need
A new party
They say to me
They say what's the word
I say it's thunderbird
I say it's thunderbird
Why don't you
Fly fly fly
Fly away hey
And while you're at it
Why don't you
Fertilize my lawn
Why don't you
Fertilize my lawn
With what's running from your mouth
Running from your mouth
Hey listen here
We got to get off
Our ass or get burned
The world's troubles
Are a global concern
Does your child have
Fresh water to drink
Wherever you are
Wherever you are you're invited
To think about this
When in the course
Of human events
It becomes necessary
To take things into your own hands
To take the water from the well
And declare it tainted by greed
We got to surely clean it up
Clean our house
Our inner house
Our outer house
Left right
And hey by the way
The human event
Is the party of the century
And you're all invited
It's where you are
Wherever you are
'Cause this party
Is for everyone
And the price of admission
Is love one another
Love brother

In the garden of consciousness
In fertile mind there lies the dormant seed
When blooming as charity
Conscience breathes a sigh of relief
The confessions of sleep
The awakening seed
Moved by love to serve
We celebrate all
Merit in life
Ah, the confessions of sleep
Unfolding peace
As we extend
According to need
And you will hear the call
All action great and small
Received joyfully
Heaven abounds
Let love resound
If he be mute
Give him a bell
If he be blind, an eye
It he be down, a hand
Lift up your voice
Lift up your voice
Lift up your voice
Give of your mind one mind
Give of your heart one heart
Give of your voice
One voice

I want someone to come home to
I need somewhere I can sleep
I need a place where I can rest my weary bones
and have a conversation not too deep
Everybody else is busy doing better than me
But I can see why it is
They got someone setting them free
Someone breaking the chains
Someone let me be
I want someone who can save me
When I come home with a zoo
I need somebody who's a sweet communicator
I can give my alligator to
Everybody (?) a whole day talkin' about
And I can see why it is
They got someone breaking them out
Someone finding the key
Someone setting them free
Could you be that person for me?
Would you feel right setting me free?
Could you dare to find my key?
I want someone I can (?)
When I come home to my troops
I need somebody who's to deal it with my sailor (?)

Everybody else is busy doing better than me
And I can see why it is
They got someone setting them free
Someone breaking the chains
Someone letting them be
Could you be that person for me?
Would you feel right setting me free?
Could you dare to find my key?

Every day she takes a morning bath she wets her hair,
Wraps a towel around her
As she's heading for the bedroom chair,
Its just another day.
Slipping into stockings,
Stepping into shoes,
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat.
Ah, it's just another day.
At the office where the papers grow she takes a break,
Drinks another coffee
And she finds it hard to stay awake,
Its just another day. du du du du du
Its just another day. du du du du du
Its just another day.
Ay
So sad, so sad,
Sometimes she feels so sad.
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell,
Till the man of her dreams comes to break the spell.
Ah, stay, don't stand around
And he comes and he stays
But he leaves the next day,
So sad.
Sometimes she feels so sad.
As she posts another letter to the sound of five,
People gather round her
And she finds it hard to stay alive,
Its just another day. du du du du du

Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be,
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Then suddenly I see you,
Did I tell you I need you...

We may find a trace
Of a state of grace
In the saddest face
Something is there
How the rivers flow
We may never know
But it goes to show
Something is there
This guiding light
Will burn so bright
So much wonder around us
All the love in the air
Let the good that surrounds us
Help us to always care
Then the seeds we sow
Will survive and grow
And we will all know
Something is there
This guiding light
Will burn so bright
So much wonder around us
All the love in the air
Let the good that surrounds us
Help us to always care
In this world where ever present dangers
Circle round our family heart
Like a throng of hostile strangers eager for a war to start
There appears a friend's familiar face
Oh sweet relief, the heart goes to a warmer place
And this we prize
And this we hold so dear
This humble state of grace
And this we prize
For this we hold so dear
This state of grace
We may find a trace
Of a state of grace
In the saddest face
Something is there
How the rivers flow
We may never know
But it goes to show
Something is there
This guiding light
Will burn so bright
So much wonder around us
All the love in the air
Let the good that surrounds us
Help us to always care
Life aboard this fast revolver still remains a magic mystery
Loud reports of anger fill the pages of our history
Those of us with love can now embrace
With sweet relief a life lived at a gentler pace
And this we prize
And this we hold so dear
This humble state of grace
And this we prize
For this we hold so dear
This humble state of grace
In the night a daffodil
Is battered by the father of all storms
Daybreak sees it stand alone
Amongst a field of lifeless forms
Rays of light illuminate
Where sweet relief presents a shining yellow face
And this we prize
And this we hold so dear
This humble state of grace
We may find a trace
Of a state of grace
In the saddest face
Something is there
How the rivers flow
We may never know
But it goes to show
Something is there
This guiding light
Will burn so bright
So much wonder around us
All the love in the air
Let the good that surrounds us
Help us to always care
Then the seeds we sow
Will survive and grow
And we will all know
Something is there
This guiding light
Will burn so bright
So much wonder around us
All the love in the air
Let the good that surrounds us
Help us to always care
And this we prize
For this we hold so dear
This humble state of grace

Peaceful, like heaven on a Sunday
Wishful, not thinking what to do
We've been calling it love
But it's a dream we're going through
And if I only had one love
Yours would be the one I'd choose
If I only had one love
Yours would be the one I'd choose
Restful, like Devon on a Monday
Cooling my fingers in the bay
We've been learning a song
But it's a long and lonely blues
If I only had one love
Yours would be the one I'd choose
If I only had one love
Yours would be the one I'd choose
If I only had one love
Yours would be the one I'd choose
It's peaceful, like heaven on a Sunday
Wishful, not thinking what to do
We've been calling it love
But it's a dream we're going through
And if I only had one love

If I only had one love

If I only had one love

If I only had one love

If I only had one love

If I only had one love

If I only had one love
Yours would be the one I'd choose
If I only had one love

Well, she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So, how could I dance with another (ooh)
And I saw her standin' there.
Well she looked at me, and a I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another (whoo)
And I saw her standin' there.
Well, my heart went "boom,"
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in myeee-eee
Whoa, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another (whoo)

And just because your momma thinks you're hot,
Well, just because you think you've got something

You've caused me to spend all my money.
You laughed and called me old Santa Claus.
Well, I'm telling you,
Baby, I'm through with you.
Because, well well, just because.
Well, well, well,
There'll come a time when you'll be lonesome
And there'll come a time when you'll be blue.
Well, there'll come a time when old Santa
He won't pay your bills for you.
You've caused me to lose all my women
And now, now you say we are through.
Well, I'm telling you
Baby, I was through with you
A long long time ago.
Well, just because you think you're so pretty
And just because your mama thinks you're the hottest thing in town
Well, just because you think you've got something

When the sky is filled up
With stones and heavy rain
And trouble starts sliding
Across the way
It's hard for me to see
Which road I've got to take
I know I need to find a way
To leave it all behind
Let it shine on

<@#Paul_McCartney_Lonesome_Town.txt#@>
There's a place where lovers go to cry their troubles away
And they call it lonesome town, where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two to last you all through the years
And the only price you pay is a heartful of tears
Goin' down to lonesome town, where the broken hearts stay
Goin' down to lonesome town to cry my troubles away
In the town of broken hearts the streets are paved with regret
Maybe down in lonesome town I can learn to forget
There's a place where lovers go to cry their troubles away

<@#Paul_Simon_A_Church_Is_Burning.txt#@>
A church is burning
The flames rise higher
Like hands that are praying a-glow in the sky
Like hands that are praying the fire is saying,
"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free."
Three hooded men through the back road did creep
Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep
Down to the church where just hours before
Voices were singing and hands were beating
And saying I won't be a slave any more.
And a church is burning
The flames rise higher
Like hands that are praying a-glow in the sky
Like hands that are praying the fire is saying,
"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free."
Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark
Then they faded in the night and they vanished in the dark
And in the cold light of morning there's nothing that remains
But the ashes of a bible and can of kerosene.
And a church is burning
The flames rise higher
Like hands that are praying a-glow in the sky
Like hands that are praying the fire is saying,
"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free."
A church is more than just timber and stone
And freedom is a dark road when you're walking it alone
But the future is now, and it's time to take a stand
So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land.
And a church is burning
The flames rise higher
Like hands that are praying a-glow in the sky
Like hands that are praying the fire is saying
"You can burn down our churches but I shall be free."

Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
But I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home
And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to it's knees
But it's all right, it's all right
We've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road
We're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
And sing an American tune
But it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest

Snowman sittin' in the sun doesn't have time to waste
He had a little bit too much fun
Now his head's erased
Back in the house, family of three
Two doin' the laundry and one in the nursery
We brought a brand new baby back from Bangladesh
Thought we'd name her Emily
She's beautiful. Beautiful
Yes, sir, head's erased, brain's a bowl of jelly
Hasn't hurt his sense of taste
Judging from his belly
But back in the house, family of four now
Two doin' the laundry and two on he kitchen floor
We brought a brand new baby back from mainland China
Sailed across the China Sea
She's beautiful. Beautiful
Go-kart sittin' in the shade
You don't need a ticket to ride
It's summertime, summertime
Slip down a water slide
Little kid dancin' in the grass
Legs like rubber band
It's summertime, summertime
There's a line at the candy stand
Keep an eye on them children
Eye on them children in the pool
You better keep an eye on them children
Eye on them children in the pool
We brought a brand new baby back from Kosovo
That was nearly seven years ago
He cried all night, could not sleep
His eyes were bright, dark and deep
<@#Paul_Simon_Cant_Run_But.txt#@>
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
A cooling system
Burns out the Ukraine
Trees and umbrellas
Protect us from the new rain
Armies of engineers
To analyze the soil
The food we contemplate
The water that we boil
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
Oo-we Oo-we
I had a dream about us
In the bottles and the bones of the night
I felt a pain in my shoulder blade
Like a pencil point? A love bite?
A couple was rubbing against us
Rubbing and doing that new dance
The man was wearing a jacket and jeans
The woman was laughing in advance
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
A winding river
Gets wound around a heart. Pull it
Tighter and tighter
Until the muddy waters part
Down by the river bank
A blues band arrives
The music suffers
The music business thrives
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
Oo-we Oo-we
<@#Paul_Simon_Homeward_Bound.txt#@>
I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket for my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
[Chorus]
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me,
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
[Chorus]
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
[Chorus]
Silently for me.
<@#Paul_Simon_How_The_Heart_Approaches_What_It_Yearns.txt#@>
In the blue light
Of the Beverly Motel
Wondering as the television burns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
In a fever
I distinctly hear your voice
Emerging from a dream, the dream returns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
After the rain on the Interstate
Headlights slide past the moon
A bone-weary traveler that
Waits by the side of the road
Where's he going?
In a dream we are lying on the top of a hill
And headlights slide past the moon
I roll in your arms
And your voice is the heat of the night
I'm on fire
In a phone booth
In some local bar and grill
Rehearsing what I'll say, my coin returns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
<@#Paul_Simon_Last_Night_I_Had_The_Strangest_Dream.txt#@>
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands end bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

Cool me
Cool my fever high
Hold me when I cry
I need it so much
Makes you want to get down and crawl like a beggar
For its touch
And all the while it's free as air
Like plants the medicine is everywhere
Love
Love
Love
We crave it so badly
Makes you want to laugh out loud when you receive it
And gobble it like candy
We think it's easy
Sometimes it's easy
But it's not easy
You're going to break down and cry
We're not important
We should be grateful
And if you're wondering why
Love
Love
Love
The price that we pay
When evil walks the planet
And love is crushed like clay
The master races, the chosen peoples
The burning temples, the weeping cathedrals
<@#Paul_Simon_Outrageous.txt#@>
It's outrageous to line your pockets off the misery of the poor.
Outrageous the crime some human beings must endure.
It's a blessing to wash your face in the summer solstice rain.
It's outrageous a man like me stand here and complain.
But I'm tired, nine hundred sit-ups a day.
I'm painting my hair the colour of mud, mud, okay?
I'm tired, tired
Anybody care what I say? No!
I'm painting my hair the colour of mud.
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Tell me, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Aw, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
It's outrageous the food they try to serve in a public school.
Outrageous, the way they talk to you like you're some kind of clinical fool
It's a blessing to rest my head in the circle of your love.
It's outrageous I can't stop thinking about the things I'm thinking of.
And I'm tired, nine hundred sit-ups a day.
I'm painting my hair the colour of mud, mud, okay?
I'm tired, tired, anybody care what I say? No!
Painting my hair the colour of mud.
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Tell me, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
Tell me, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
God will,
Like he waters the flowers on your window sill.
Take me, I'm an ordinary player in the key of C,
And my will was broken by my pride and my vanity
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?
God will,
Like he waters the flowers on your window sill.
Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?

I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a long way from my home
If you people don't like me
I can make out on my own
'Casue it's dark
And it's rainin'
And the Moon gives no light
And my pony can hardly travel
On this darkened road at night
You know once I had a true love
Though her age was just sixteen
She was the flower of Belton
And the rose of Aberdine
But her parents did not like me
And now she feels much the same
If I'm writ on in your Diary
Well blot out my name
'Cause there's changes in the ocean
And there's changes in the sea
And there's changes in my own true love
But there aint to changin' me

<@#Paul_Simon_The_Obvious_Child.txt#@>
I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
But I say why
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?
And in remembering a road sign
I am remembering a girl when I was young
And we said these songs are true
These days are ours
These tears are free
And hey
The cross is in the ballpark
The cross is in the ballpark
We had a lot of fun
We had a lot of money
We had a little son and we thought we'd call him Sonny
Sonny gets married and moves away
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
Sonny gets sunnier
Day by day by day by day
I've been waking up at sunrise
I've been following the light across my room
I watch the night receive the room of my day
Some people say the sky is just the sky
But I say
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?
Sonny sits by the window and thinks to himself
How it's strange that some roots are like cages
Sonny's yearbook from high school
Is down on the shelf
And he idle thumbs through the pages
Some have died
Some have fled from themselves
Or struggled from here to get there
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
Runs his hands through his thinning brown hair
I'm accustomed to a smoother ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep the night
Some people say a lie is just a lie
But I say
The cross is in the ballpark
Why deny the obvious child?
<@#Paul_Simon_The_Teacher.txt#@>
There once was a teacher of great renown
Whose words were like the tablets of stone
Because it's easier to learn than unlearn
Because we've passed the point of no return
Gather your goods and follow me
Or you will surely die
I was only a child of the city
My parents were children of immigrant stock
So we followed as followers go
Over a mountain with a napkin of snow
And ate the berries and roots
That grow along the timberline
Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love
Sleeps on a quilt of stars
It's cold
Sometimes you can't catch your breath
It's cold
Time and abundance thickened his step
So the teacher divided in two
One half ate the forests and fields
The other half sucked all the moisture from the clouds
And we, we were amazed at the power of his appetite
Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love
Sleeps on a quilt of stars
Sometimes we don't know who we are
Sometimes force overpowers us and we cry
My teacher carry me home
Carry me home my teacher
Carry me home
Carry me home my teacher
Carry me home

If a baby is born and no one complains
Then that's good luck, runnin' through young veins
And if life is a blessing
That brushes the tops of the trees
Well it's a short walk, in a sweet breeze
I will need you, feed you,
Seed you, plead with you
All for a taste of your sweet love, Thelma
If the heart is an open memory book
That was the chance I took
The more I searched
The more I shook for Thelma
Last night I slept on a rented pillow
A silver moon above my head
A thirsty dreamless sleep released me
And I reached for the phone by the side of the bed
Now the first time that I saw you I thought
She's beautiful, but she's too young to be caught
People aware of my history
Trying to steer you away from me
I left a message at your hotel
Don't let management poison the well
I will need you, feed you,
Seed you, plead with you
All for a taste of your sweet love, Thelma
The phone is ringing and I realize
We are time zones and oceans apart
The words I speak in the middle of my night
Fall on your yesterday's heart
If the sun don't shine
If the wind don't break
If the clock don't jump off the wall
Thelma, my darlin', I will cushion your fall
I will need you, feed you,
Seed you, plead with you
Without the taste of your sweet love, Thelma
I am only a man who skirted the edge of despair
For a long time, now
And I don't care
I watch you sleeping in the hospital bed
The baby curled up in a ball
Winter sunlight hits the family tree
And everything else becomes nothing at all

It's a hopeless situation
And I'm starting to believe
That this hopeless situation
Is what I'm trying to achieve
But I try to run on
It's all or none
All or none...
Here's the selfless confession
Leading me back to war
Can we help that our destinations
Are the ones we've been before?
I still try to run on
But it's all or none
All or none...
To myself, I surrender
To the one I'll never please
But I still try to run on
No, I still try to run on
But it's all or none

I will be the least of your burdens
My back is broken, my feet are hurtin'
All I want is to drink, please fuckin' leave me alone
I'll never be your beast of learning
I'm a stupid fuck, I don't know nothin' at all
All I want is to drink, maybe with just one other person
Am I hard enough?... Am I tough enough?...
I don't give a fuck
I just wanna live life and be dumb and happy like an American
All I want is for you to make love to me
Hey hey oh... Hey oh oh...
Ooh... Ooh...
No time like the present to get ripped apart
Got this burnin' desire coming straight from my heart
Suck you dry... Suck... Suck you dry... Suck you dry...
Suck me dry... Suck this dry...

Whipped into shape now they got you in line
Stand behind the stripes
There will be order so give it a good mind
The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieving
And by name
The name they gave me
The name I'm letting go
The whole world will be different soon

All these...
I got bugs
I got bugs in my room
Bugs in my bed
Bugs in my ears
Their eggs in my head
Bugs in my pockets
Bugs in my shoes
Bugs in the way I feel about you
Bugs on my window
Trying to get in
They don't go nowhere
Waiting waiting...
Bugs on my ceiling
Crowded the floor
Standing sitting kneeling...
A few block the door
And now the question's:
Do I kill them?
Become their friend?
Do I eat them?
Raw or well done?
Do I trick them?
I don't think they're that dumb
Do I join them?
Looks like that's the one
I got bugs on my skin
Tickle my nausea
I let it happen again
They're always takin' over
I see they surround me, I see...
See them deciding my fate
Oh, that which was once...was once up to me...
Now it's too late
I got bugs in my room...one on one
That's when I had a chance
I'll just stop now
I'll become naked
And with the...I'll become one

She nursed him there ooh over a night
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say, what to say
But soon she was down soon he was low
At a quarter past, a holy no,
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold oh, she folded,
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh a dissident a dissident is here
And to this day she's glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
When she had contact, with the conflict,
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold, she folded,
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
She gave him away when she couldn't hold, no, she folded,

Drifting, drifting, drifting away
I got myself a mansion, then I gave it away
It's not the world that's heavy, it's just the things that you save
And I'm drifting, drifting away
Drifting, drifting, drifting along
I rid myself of worries, and my worries were gone
I only run when I want to and I sleep like a dog
I'm drifting, drifting along
The suit coats say, "there is money to be made"
They get so excited, nothing gets in their way
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
It's good for drifting, drifting away
All the suit coats say, "there is money to be made"
They get so excited, nothing get's in their way
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
It's good for drifting, drifting away
Drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh
I feel like going back there, but never for long
I sometimes wonder if they know that I'm gone
I'm drifting, drifting along
Drifting, drifting along, drifting, drifting along.

So misleading
The defection of the soul
Nauseously quick
I don't question
Our existence
I just question
Our modern needs
I will walk, with my hands bound
I will walk, with my face blood
I will walk, with my shadow flag
Into your garden
Garden of stone
After all is done
We're still alone
I won't be taken
Yet I'll go
I will walk, with my hands bound
I will walk, with my face blood

He could've tuned in tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor waiting locked out
He got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings "Hey look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh power oh
He's flying
Whole
High wide, oh
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
High flying
Oh, oh
High flying
Oh, oh
He's flying
Oh, oh

It emanates from their being
A satiation with occupation
And like weeds with big leaves
Stealing light from what's beneath
Where they have more
Still they take more
I know, then I don't
There's a stow-away with my throat
It's deceiving, I don't believe him
We can scream out our doors
Behind the wall, a fat man snores
In his dreams, he's choking ti leaves
Well I guess there's nothing wrong with what you say
But don't sell me, "there can't be better ways"
Tell the captain, "the boat's not safe, and we're drowning"
Turns out he's the one making waves, waves, waves...
I said there's nothing wrong with what you say
Believe me, I'm just asking you to sway
No white or black, just grey

All the advantage this life's got on me.. Picture a cup in the middle of the

And I fight back in my mind.
Never let's be right.
I got memories I got shit.
So much it don't show.
I walked in light, when you held me in that night.
I walked the line, when you held my hand that night.
An empty shell seems so easy to crack.
Got all these questions don't know who I could even ask.
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream, where I'm not ugly and you're
lookin' at me.
And I stay in bed, all blue I've seen hell.
If just once I could feel love, stare back at me.
But I walked in light, when you held me in that night.
I walked the line, when you held my hand that night.
I walked in light, when you held me close that night.
I paid the price never held you in real life...

Oh I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
Oh I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey, I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
We just want you to know we can see through your masks
You that never done nothing
But build and destroy
You play with our world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my head
And then you hide from my eyes
Then you turn and run following the fast foolish line
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You won't need to believe
But I see through your eye
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain
You that fasten all the trigger
For the others to fire
And you sit back and watch
While the death toll gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That could ever be hurled
The fear to bring children
Into this world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood that runs through your veins
How much do we know
To talk out of turn?
You might say that we're young
You might say we're unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it would?
Oh, I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll stand on your [Incomprehensible]
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Into your deathbed
And I'll stand on your grave till I'm sure that you're dead

Oh and more as more gets

Regrets I've had a few
But they're too few to mention
I did what I had
It's all through without exemption
I play each charted course
I've traveled each and every byway
And more much more than this
I did it my way
Well twice I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
I knew it all without a doubt
I ate it up and I had to spit it out
I passed it on and I stood tall
And I did it my way

Tho oceans away

How high can I throw
How high can I run
How high can I hold my breath and stay underwater
And wave my legs around in perfect unison with my partner who really doesn't

For my Olympic dream
I'll be like Dwight Stone
I'll be like Bruce Jenner
I'll be like that girl who trained all her life as a distance runner and then
tripped with a quarter mile to go
But I I will get up and I will run
I will run with the Georgia peach breeze and I will win

Warm breath and all it steals
You can't know how it feels to be in here
All the dark horse fields, befriendin' me
Playin' ain't the same without you here
We've come to hate the golden rule
Cannot seem to make the dots connect
The morning light don't show you near
You can't know what it's like to bleed from here
The blackened world grows white, it goes nowhere
Oooh hoo..
Death ain't the same without you, dear
I make the others run and hide
New York streets seem to make it worse
All this noise inside the quiet
I can't hold on, the weight you bear
My body's broken fast, please lift me up
You can't know what it's like to be inside
The fading melodies can't beat my need
I'm not the same without you here
How can I quit to be there
Sit and stare

And colors turn to gray, he's stayin'
In his room with memories for days, he faced
An undertow of futures laid to waste, embraced
By the loss of one he could not replace
And there's no reason that she'd pass
And there is no god with the plan, it's sad
And his holiness is proof, it's sad
He could only love you, it's sad
The door swings through a passing fable
A fate we may delay, we say
Holding on, to live within our embrace
Eleven nights, he laid in bed
Hoping that dreams would bring her back, it's sad
And his holiness is proof, it's sad
He could only love you, it's sad
Holding his last breath, believing
He'll make his way
But she's not forgotten
He's haunted
He's searching for escape
If just one wish could bring her back, it's sent
And his holiness is proof, it's sad
He will always love you, it's sad

Oh, memories like fingerprints, they're slowly raising
Me, you, wouldn't recall for I'm not my former
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
Well, I just wanna scream, "Hello"
Oh, my God it's been too long
Never dreamed You'd return

And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed.
I'm just goin' along as I please,
Breezin' along with the breeze.
<@#Perry_Como_Bumming_Around_(Previously_Unreleased).txt#@>
I got an old slouch hat
Got my roll on my shoulder
I'm as free as a breeze
And do as I please
Just to bumming around
Got a million friends
I don't feel any older
I've got nothing to lose
Not even the blues
Just to bumming around
Whenever worries start
To bothering me
I grab my coat, my old slouch hat
Hit the trail again
You see, I ain't got a dime
Don't care where I'm going
I'm as free as a breeze
And do as I please
Just to bumming around
I hit the trail again
You see, I ain't got a dime
Don't care where I'm going
I'm as free as a breeze
And do as I please
Just to bumming around
Just to bumming around
Just to bumming around
Just to bumming around

Buongiorno Teresa
Like the sun you brighten up my day
Good mornin' Teresa
Smile at me an' send me on my way!
You sit by the tower,
The world rushes by,
Sell me a flower,
An' straighten my tie!
I'll walk home this evening
Through the lonely market place
I'll sleep well, I'll dream well,
Because tomorrow I can say "Buongiorno Teresa"
I love you more each day!
I'll walk home this evening

I love you more ( I love you more! ) each day!

I love you more each day!

When I was but a youngster
Christmas meant one thing,
that I'd be getting lots of toys that day
I learned a whole lot different
when Mother sat me down
and taught me to spell 'Christmas' this way:
'see' is for the Christ child, born upon this day
'H' for herald angels in the night
'are' means our Redeemer
'I' means Israel
'S' is for the star that shone so bright
'T' is for three wise men, they who travelled far
'M' is for the manger where He lay
'A' 's for all He stands for
'S' means Shepard's came
And that's why there's a Christmas day!
And that's why there's a Christmas day!

<@#Perry_Como_Carolina_Moon.txt#@>
The moon was shining bright in Carolina
The night we said goodbye so tenderly
And now that I'm away from Carolina
Won't somebody tell the moon for me:
Oh, Carolina Moon keep shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina Moon, I'm pining
Pining for the place I long to be
How I'm hopin' tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light
Say I'm all right please do!
Tell her that I'm blue an' lonely
Dreamy Carolina Moon!
Tell her that I'm blue an' lonely
Dreamy Carolina Moon!

Why do birds suddenly appear,
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky,
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you
On the day that you were born,
The angels got together,
An' decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled mood dust in your hair of gold
An' starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why, all the boys in town,
Follow you, all around,
Just like me, they long to be, close to you!
On the day that you were born,
The angels got together,
An' decided to create a dream come true

Have I stayed away too long?
Have I stayed away too long?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
The love light that shone so strong
Sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight, would that same light be shinin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'm just outside of town
I'll soon be at your door
But maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?

If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
Stayed away too long?

( I Know, I know, oh yes, I know! )
I know what it means
To be lost in the dark!
I know what it means
To be tossed by the storm!
I have walked alone
With a heart of stone
And despair too heavy for tears,
But you caught my heart
And you taught my heart
To forget it's doubts and fear!
And now that I know
The joy of your love
My head is high, I can face the sky
And know that heaven is here below,
I know . . .
For you I could die,
For you I will live,
I know!

I have heard the wild bird's sing
So I know what "freedom" is
I have looked into the eyes of a child
So I know what "faith" is
I have seen a rainbow
So I know what "beauty" is
I have planted a tree
So I know what "hope" is
I have held a helping hand
So I know what "kindness" is
I have seen a blossom burst into bloom
So I know what "glory" is
I have lost a friend
So I know what "sorrow" is
I have knelt down in prayer
So I know what "peace" is
I have seen a mother at her crib
So I'm sure of the meaning of "love"
I have seen and I have felt these things
And now I know what "God" is!

Keep an eye on spring,

Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits of your labour on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter
If there's no one here to share
The flowers in the garden the wine
The Waiting for the Godot
And so much modern time?
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
The years perfecting a stance of
Measured cool fade into insignificance
The moment one starts to understand
What on earth does it profit a man?
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
For something special somehow new
Someone saying ?I love you'
Baby I'm waiting for the red letter day
You can sneer or disappear behind a veneer
Of self-control
But for all of those who don't fit
In who follow their instincts
And are told they sin
This is a prayer for a different way
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
Like Christmas morning
When you're a kid
Admit you love me and you always did
Baby I'm hoping for that red letter day today

If you didn't even know the score
How come we went to war?
How come we went to war?
People are living now
inside their memories
How much we've all believed
and how we've been deceived
Time runs out
we all start dying
after all
If you didn't really understand the cause
If you didn't even pause for thought
How come we went to war?
How come we went to war?
People are falling down
becoming memories
Some day we'll all be grieved
too late to be relieved
Time runs out
we all start dying

I know the time will come
Just wait and see
Change is no obstacle
we can agree
Heaven is possible after all
Heaven is possible

Summer sands have lost their charm
Let 'em go
Autumn winds will do no harm
Let 'em blow
Save up all your dreams
Oh, save them, save them
Live beyond your means
But keep your dreams
Won't you?
You go from A to B to C
On demand
Like algebra or geometry
Diagrammed
Your resolution's weak
But we're not all damned
The future's not so bleak
In this wasteland
When
Always, always
Summer comes
Always
You're too over-sensitive
That's the charge
Any criticism starts
To loom too large
Caution to the winds
Throw it, throw it
Don't cash in your dreams
Or you will blow it
Your resolution's weak
But we're not all damned
The future's not so bleak
In this wasteland
When
Always, always
Summer comes

City life just leaves me weak
All this madness on the street
Need to get away today
Live my life a different way
Is it only a fantasy
To dream about a perfect me?
[Chorus: x2]
I want to live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
Buy the latest magazine
And aspire to the dream
Perfect home and perfect kids
Not a life lived on the skids
Is it only fantasy
Or could it be reality?
[Chorus: x2]
Now I can see myself
Without a care in the world
It's a sun shining
Money spending
Green and healthy new world
Is it only fantasy
Or could it be reality?

See Boy Strange on the
Horizon of love
He's calling to you
What do you say?
See Boy Strange as an
Example of youth
So close to the truth
But still far away
And he's such a strange boy
Will he make a good
Exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind?
When you realize that this boy
Is strange
It's too late to change
Your point of view
He's often there when the
Sun meets the sky
With a perfect alibi
Unlike you
And he's such a strange boy
Do you think he'll make a good
Exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind?
To talk of common sense is a
Complete waste of time
His looks are a crime
Bound to commit
In the eyes of the world he's
A borderline fool
Both naive and cruel
Why would you inflict
Him on you?

Now time and distance
Melt away
No digital delay
And some things
Can be written down
That we're too shy to say
Send me an e-mail
That says 'I love you'
Send me an e-mail
That says 'I love you'
There may be other
Temptations in your life
Don't want to add more
Complications to your life
But I'm sending this e-mail
To say 'I love you'
Now there's a ghost
Within this house
You're haunting me tonight
I'm looking at some photographs
And thinking that I might
Jump on a plane
And surprise you where
You are
But do you want me there?
I'm so insecure
But one thing would make me sure
If you'd
Send me an e-mail
That says 'I love you'
Send me an e-mail
That says 'I love You'

You've got nothing to say
And you can't
Hide that look of dismay
Why pretend?
You only want revenge

I'd be dead
If looks could kill
Where'd you go
With that threadbare crowd
Still in tow?
Do they appreciate your
Tales of woe?
Droning on and on
Lost your thread?
I'd be dead
If looks could kill
You think you're acting
In self-defense
But you're fooling no one
And you never will
The only crime is irrelevance
No wonder you're worried
I'd be dead and buried still
If looks could kill
Welcome to a unique event
Where we see what you represent
Flaunt that look
Of 'Let battle commence!'
It changes nothing
And it never will
And on that matter of self-defense
I'm not worried
I'd be dead and buried still
If looks could kill

Love comes
Love grows
every time you rise to meet me
take my hand to greet me
Love comes
Love grows

much more than anybody knows

Before we ever met
I thought like everybody did
you were just a moron
a billion-dollar kid
You flew up all the way
like a hawk chasing a dove
I never thought that I would be
a sacrifice in love
It comes
It grows
and now we're tied together
everybody knows
[Chorus: x2]
Is stupid really stupid
or a different kind of smart?
Do we really have a relationship
so special in your heart?

I have to ask myself
like any lover might:
Have you made a fool of me?
Are you not Mr. Right?

As long as you don't make too much mess
And would the last person to leave

When the sun goes down and it's getting late
You say it's time for bed
She just takes her time
Acting like she never heard a word you said
Little baby want to hold you tight
She don't ever want to say good night
She's a lover, she want to be Daddy's Girl
When the morning comes
And it's time to go start another day
She won't let you leave, and she does her best
To try to make you stay
Pretty baby gonna start to cry
She don't ever want to say good bye
She's a lover, she want to be Daddy's Girl
She don't ever want to be without you
Never have to worry she won't doubt you
Then she puts her head upon your shoulder
Says she marry you when she get older
When the time has come, and she's old enough
To be on her own
She won't understand why you're feelin' sad
'Cause she's leaving you all alone
Little woman gonna make you cry
You don't ever want to say good bye
She's a lady, she'll always be Daddy's Girl
Little woman gonna break your heart
Gonna miss her when you're both apart
She's a lady, but she'll always be Daddy's Girl
She'll always be Daddy's Girl
She'll always be Daddy's Girl
She'll always be Daddy's Girl
She'll always be Daddy's Girl
She'll always be Daddy's Girl
She'll always be Daddy's Girl

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Tis the season to be jolly
Don we now our gay apparel
Troll the ancient Yuledite carol
See the blazing youle before us
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Follow me in merry measure
While I tell of yuletide treasure
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Fast away the old years passes
Hail the new, ye las and lasses
Sing we joyous, all together
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Feel your breath on my shoulder
And I know we couldn't get any closer
I don't wanna act tough, I just wanna fall in love
As we move into the night I get crazy
Thinking how it's gonna be with you baby
I don't wanna play rough I've been loving you enough
Oh, baby
(chorus) I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with love
When we close the door all I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever tonight
Touch my lips, I'm on fire
You're the only one I'll ever desire
Turn the lights down low, make the world go slow
When I'm holding you tonight it's so easy
Nothing moves me like you do when you tease me
And to rush would be a crime
I just wanna spend some time with you baby
Chorus
And when I'm here beside you
I wanna see what drives you out of your mind
I never wanna leave I only wanna be with you
'cause I love how you feel your love is so real
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
'cause I can't live without you
<@#Peter_Cetera_Have_A_Little_Faith.txt#@>
Dry those tears
From your eyes
Maybe I can help you
A few more hours until the light
And I will hold you
You've waited patiently
Don't ever doubt your faith in me
Baby, hold on a little longer
[Chorus:]
And when the night is falling
And it's more than you can take
Remember that I love you
Have a little faith
And just like the morning
I'll be there when you awake
Close your eyes, right now, I'm on my way
If you just have a little faith
Even now my heart has wings
I can't wait to see you
As I lie beside you in my dreams
I can't wait to touch you
Tonight my body lives
To cross the miles, to kiss your lips
Baby, hold on a little longer
[Chorus:]
And when the night is falling
And it's more than you can take
Remember that I love you
Have a little faith
And just like the morning
I'll be there when you awake
Close your eyes, right now, I'm on my way
If you just have a little faith
Have a little faith in me right now

<@#Peter_Cetera_Heaven_Help_This_Lonely_Man.txt#@>
Not too long ago when she was mine
I thought we would be together 'til the end of time
That's the way it goes when you're in love
Since she's gone there's no one else I'm thinking of
[Chorus:]
I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man
There will never be anyone else
Never be another one to take her place
Might as well give up, I can't go on
Never find another one to fill this empty space
Chorus
When she came to me she opened my eyes
Suddenly life was worth living
Now it's over for me I realize
Nothing's the same since she's gone
And I can't go on
Repeat
<@#Peter_Cetera_I_Wasnt_The_One.txt#@>
Your eyes and my eyes haven't talked in quite a while
Seems like a lifetime since I walked beside your smile
There's a dark cloud that's hanging above
Memories never lie
Still we talk about the way that it was
And I think we both know the feeling hasn't died
I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try
Da da
Your touch and my touch haven't spoken for some time
You say we've both changed and your always on my mind
I can tell you that it's over and done but I would only lose
Being close to the want that I want
So go on and ask me if I'm still in love with you
I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try
Da da
There was no need for you to ask - please don't ask
You oughta know by now, ooo babe, I want you back
I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
<@#Peter_Cetera_One_More_Story.txt#@>
One more story
Then it's time for bed
One more fairy tale
Then rest your weary head
One more kiss, I'll turn out the lights
Everything's gonna be all right
I'll still be here when you wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight
Go to sleep now
You've had a busy day
Hold me in your dreams
I won't be far away
One more kiss then I'll turn out the lights
Everything's gonna be all right
I'll still be here when you wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight
I can't believe just how fast you're growing
I'm gonna cry when you're old enough
To go and be on your own
But until that very moment
Everything's gonna be all right
You'll still be here when I wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight
Everything's gonna be all right
<@#Peter_Cetera_Only_Love_Knows_Why.txt#@>
One more sad tomorrow
And I'm not very good at hiding my sorrow
It's not the same without you
So alone and so afraid
I thought we had it made
What about us, what about the way
We were so in love, when we were together
I thought you'd never leave
Now I know this time you're gone forever
[Chorus]
Only love can break your heart
Fill you with desire
And tear you all apart
Only love can make you cry
Only love knows why
One more night without you
I'm just trying to pretend that you're coming back again
You know I never meant to doubt you, oh no
We were young and we were free
Now I can't believe this has happened to me
What about us, what about the way
We were so in love, when we were together
[Chorus]
Gonna be a long hard road without you
And there's one thing you should know
Tell me who will I turn to
When I get in trouble
I really don't want you to go, no
Tell me who can I turn to
When I get in trouble
Baby please don't leave me
Can't you see you must believe me
Only love can break your heart
Fill you with desire
And tear you down, the minute that you fall apart
Only love can make you cry
Only love knows why, oh no
Only love can tear you down
Only love knows why, oh no
Only love will make you cry
<@#Peter_Cetera_Queen_Of_The_Masquerade_Ball.txt#@>
She lays her cards out on the table
She always gets what she's going for, and a whole lot more
Got the movers and the shakers
Quaking inside their mohair shoes
After all there's nothing to lose
[Chorus]
Cracking that whip
Making her own decisions
Taking no lip
Living with no conditions
There's only one thing that she's missing
She never tells anybody, she's missing it more and more each night
And though she cries when she's alone
By the morning she's ready to go
She's got the light
[Chorus]
Everything's fine
Just as long as they do it her way
Living with style
She's got it all
Hail to the queen of the masquerade ball
And though she cries when she's alone
By the morning she's ready to go
She's got the light
[Chorus]
Everything's fine
Just as long as they do it her way
Living with style
She's got it all
Hail to the queen of the masquerade ball
<@#Peter_Cetera_Rain_Love.txt#@>
Rain, rain love, rain, rain love
Rain, rain love, rain, rain love
Threw out my old raincoat, set sail without a boat
For places somewhere far beyond my dreams
As the sky came pouring down, I lay down on the ground
Like I was dreaming, I let the feeling wash all over me
Rain love covered around me
Rain, rain love finally found me
This time you're gonna recognize
One drop will open up your eyes, rain love
It's the color of every sky, it's the way to change the tide
When the world is crumbling down on you and me
It's the calm that lifts the storm, it's the promise that keeps you warm
When you don't understand, just touch the guiding hand that comforts me
Rain love
Takes this lot to make you realize
No greater love could ever fill the sky
Rain love
<@#Peter_Cetera_Rule_The_World.txt#@>
There's a garden of hope
In a town called faith
And the state of Happiness
Is not far away
From the country of wants and the sea of needs
I'll take you there with me
Someday when I rule the world
Gonna stand by you
Love you all I can
You're beautiful
The reason I believe
Don't give up on me
I'll make it wonderful
When I rule the world
When I look into your eyes
Oohh it just amazes me
And the way I feel inside
When your changing me
Through the sweat and the tears
Moving step by step
I'll do anything for you
Someday when I...
High, High above it all
In the sky you promised I choose to stand
Stand by you I'll stand by you
Someday when I....
the reason I believe
Oh don't give up on me
I'll make it wonderful when I rule te World

How can you say it's over
What can there be that we can't overcome
Why do you turn away
And you so afraid of needing someone
Didn't we say forever
I still believe the feeling's strong enough
Before you walk away
Let me hear you say you don't need my love
[Chorus]
Stay with me
Darlin' after all that we've been through
Nobody else can warm your lonely nights
No one gonna love you like I do
Stay with me
Can't you see we've got too much to lose
Oh stay with me
Stay with me
Baby please
Where is our happy ending
And all of our promises did you forget
Tell me what's the use of love if it can't last
I can never let you leave it this way
I want you to stay
[Chorus]
Got to make you stay somehow
Tell me what's it gonna take
I can't live without you
So please don't leave me now
[Chorus: repeat until fade]
<@#Peter_Cetera_The_Lucky_Ones.txt#@>
Sometimes you're sentimental
I know exactly what to do
And if I'm temperamental
You calm me down and you pull me through
[Chorus]
We are the lucky ones
We have one another
When the end of the day has come
I return to you
Life can be so demanding
Sometimes it's hard to make it through
It's love and understanding
You give to me, I give to you
[Chorus]
Our own fairy tale
Our favorite bedtime story
One that we won't forget
We fell in love
We knew from the start
We'd always be together
The first time that we met
Can't forget
[Chorus]
All alone in the setting sun
I'll have you and you'll have me

Hey baby, you've got nothing to lose
Now's the time to slip away
Oh woman can't you see
I really want you here with me
Hey Mama, I can make you forget
What you ever saw in him
Don't understand
Why you want to be with that man
The time is right so take it from me
You'll find out when we're alone
Good lovin' follows good company
There's no tellin' what I'll do, when I get next to you
Hey baby, if you look in my eyes
I won't let you get away
Oh woman don't you see
I'd rather have you here with me
Hey Mama, don't you tell me good night
Where's your curiosity
Don't understand
Why you want to be with that man

Can't get over you
Want to wake up to love

We've got nothing but time
All alone
In our own paradise
The time is right so take it from me
You'll find out when we're alone
Good lovin' follows good company
There's no tellin' what I'll do, I just want to feel it too

Some things are hard to forget
It's time to do something you might regret
You never listen to me
I think that you must be blind
Havn't you noticed that I'm not around
Waisting your precious time
All that I want
Is knowing that someone will notice me
I can't go on
Knowing that you never bother to listen to me
Losing the will to survive
You never act like you know I'm alive
You never listen to me
All that I need
Is knowing that someone remembers me

Knowing that you never bother to listen to me

I'm on my way, I'm making it
I've got to make it show, yeah
So much larger than life
I'm going to watch it growing
The place where I come from is a small town
They think so small
They use small words
But not me
I'm smarter than that
I worked it out
I've been stretching my mouth
To let those big words come right out
I've had enough, I'm getting out
To the city, the big big city
I'll be a big noise with all the big boys
There's so much stuff I will own
And I will pray to a big god
As I kneel in the big church
Big time
I'm on my way-I'm making it
Big time big time
I've got to make it show yeah
Big time big time
So much larger than life
Big time
I'm going to watch it growing
Big time
My parties all have big names
And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure
And always they're amazed
When I show them 'round my house, to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through the front door
Big time
I'm on my way-I'm making it
Big time big time
I've got to make it show-yeah

So much larger than life
I'm going to watch it growing

The wretched desert takes it's form,
The jackal proud and tight,
In search of you I feel my way,
Through slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents,
I swear it make no sense
I reach out through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me
In the swirling curling storm of desire
Unuttered words hold fast
With reptile tongue the lightning lashes
Towers built to last
Darkness creeps in like a thief
And offers no relief
Why are you shaking like a leaf?
Come on, come talk to me
Ah please talk to me
Won't you please talk to me
We can unlock this misery
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can't you show me how you feel
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me, come talk to me
The earthly power sucks shadowed milk,
From sleepy tears undone
From nippled skin as smooth as silk,
The bugles blow as one
You lie there with your eyes half closed,
Like there's no one there at all
There's a tension pulling on your face
Come on, come talk to me
Won't you please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me
Don't you ever change your mind
Now your future's so defined
And you act so deaf so blind
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me, come talk to me
I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart it will not be denied
'Til we're both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away
I said please talk to me
Won't you please come talk to me
Just like it used to be
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can you show me how you feel now
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me, come talk to me
I said please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me
Don't you ever change your mind
Now your future's so defined
And you act so deaf so blind

Es naehrt sich vom Blut
Es lebt. Es ist heiss

Wir spucken in die Hand
Atmen auf der Haut
Oeffnen Haende weit
Wenn die Sonne kommt
Bin bei mir - verlier mich
Der Staub bedeckt mich ganz
Und langsam dringt es ein
Und ich - ich lass - es zu
Schlag das Radio -
Keine Stimme mehr von draussen
Schlag die Uhr -
Den Tag nicht in Stuecke reissen
Schlag die Kamera -
Kann kein Leben mehr rauben

Since we've been apart

As I brushed my teeth

And still can barely beat"

I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon
I am my mother on the wall, with us all
I move in water, shore to shore,
Nothing's more
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leary loons
Leaving rope burns
Reddish ruse
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon
<@#Peter_Gabriel_I_Dont_Remember.txt#@>
I got no means to show identification
I got no papers show you what I am
You'll have to take me just the way that you find me
What's gone is gone and I do not give a damn
Empty stomach, empty head
I got empty heart and empty bed
I don't remember
I don't remember
I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything
Anything at all
Strange is your language and I have no decoder
Why don't you make your intentions clear
With eyes to the sun and your mouth to the soda
Saying, "Tell me the truth, you got nothing to fear
Stop staring at me like a bird of prey
I'm all mixed up, I got nothing to say
I don't remember
I don't remember
I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything
Anything at all
I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything
Absolutely anything at all
I don't remember
<@#Peter_Gabriel_My_Head_Sounds_Like_That.txt#@>
The metal jangles as the key turns
Unlock the door, wipe my feet clean
Oh my head sounds like that
The oil is spitting in the saucepan
I squeeze the sponge and let the cat out
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
The water's dripping in the hallway
The guy next door, he knocks his wall down
Oh my head sounds like that
The knife it scrapes across the burnt brown toast
The freight train rumbles past my window
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Around the axis we all spin
To determine what's left out and what's left in
What's left out and what's left in
What's left out and what's left in
Who's left out and who's left in
Who's left in
The moments come and go like water
I try to hold them but they're fading
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh
<@#Peter_Gabriel_Red_Rain.txt#@>
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
We touch, this place is so quiet, sensing that storm
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
There is no blood around, see no sign of pain
Hay ay ay no pain
Seeing no red at all, see no rain
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Red rain
Ohhhh
Putting the pressure on much harder now
To return again and again
Just let the red rain splash you
Let the rain fall on your skin
I come to you defenses down
With the trust of a child
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
And I can't watch any more
No more denial
It's so hard to lay down in all of this
Red rain coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
I'm bathing in
Red rain coming down
Red rain is falling down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I'm begging you
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Over me in the red red sea
Over me
Over me
Red rain
<@#Peter_Gabriel_San_Jacinto.txt#@>
Thick cloud, steam rising, hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
Around me, buffalo robe, sage in bundle, rub on skin
Outside, cold air, stand, wait for rising sun
Red paint, eagle feathers, coyote calling, it has begun
Something moving in, I taste it in my mouth and in my heart
It feels like dying, slow, letting go of life
Medicine man lead me up though town, Indian ground, so far down
Cut up land, each house, a pool, kids wearing water wings, drink in cool
Follow dry river bed, watch Scout and Guides make pow-wow signs
Past Geronimo's disco, Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse, white men dream
A rattle in the old man's sack, look at mountain top, keep climbing up
Way above us the desert snow, white wind blow
I hold the line, the line of strength that pulls me through the fear
San Jacinto, I hold the line
San Jacinto, the poison bite and darkness take my sight, I hold the line
And the tears roll down my swollen cheek, think I'm losing it, getting weaker
I hold the line, I hold the line
San Jacinto, yellow eagle flies down from the sun, from the sun
We will walk, on the land
We will breathe, of the air
We will drink, from the stream
We will live, hold the line
Hold the line
Hold the line
<@#Peter_Gabriel_The_Power_Of_The_Heart.txt#@>
You look for sun and I look for rain
We're different people, we're not the same
The power of the sun
I looked for treetops, you looked for caps
Above the water, where the waves snap back
I flew around the world to bring you back
Ah, the power of the heart
You looked at me and I looked at you
The sleeping heart was shining through,
The wispy cobwebs that we're breathing through
The power of the heart
I looked at you and you looked at me
I thought of the past, you thought of what could be
I asked you once again to marry me
The power of the heart
Everybody says love makes the world go round
I hear a bubbling and I hear a sound
Of my heart beating and I turn around
And find you standing at the door
You know me I like to dream a lot
Of this and that and what is not
And finally I figured out what was what
It was the power of the heart
You and me we sweat and strain
The result is always the same
You think somehow we're in a game
The power of the heart
The power of the heart
I think I'm dumb, I know you're smart
The beating of a purebred heart
I say this to you and it's not a lark
Marry me today
You know me I like to dream a lot
Of what there is and what there's not
But mainly I dream of you a lot
The power of your heart
The power of the heart
<@#Peter_Gabriel_The_Story_Of_Ovo.txt#@>
A long time ago, in a far away land
Theo was the man who learned
To understand the riches of the earth
And all that it was worth
The first man that ever tried to stand with his own plan
Now this man was all about the wind rain and trees
He knew that it would take care
Of all of his family needs
OVO
Now Ion was the son who spent his nights and days
Looking for all kinds of ways to get his father's praise
In all daddy's ways he just wanted to impress
Bigger, faster, stronger is what he tried to stress
Sofia was the girl
Living in her own world
She found love and joy with a young sky boy
Sky boys were seen as less to the rest
So it would seem
Sofia went into the woods to daydream
With love in her eyes
Her own father would despise
Her love for the young sky boy he would destroy
Feet in the earth
Heads in the sky
We watch the world go by
Feet in the earth
Heads in the sky
We watch as life goes by
When Theo was gone, his son Ion took the power
And in his daddy's name, built the biggest strongest tower
The earth people and sky people divided by machines
And the ones who had nothing
Were the ones who had the wings
The sky boy just wanted everything to be equal
From full-time lover
To now fighting for his people
OVO
Now Beth was the mom
Who really loved to weave
She couldn't believe her own son would decieve
The sky people got hungry
And their welfare was ignored
She let them in the tower
And the bloody battle roared
Down came Ion
And the tower fell as well
The dark days were over
And the sky people's hell
Feet in the earth
Heads in the sky
We watch the world go by
Feet in the earth
Heads in the sky
We watch as life goes by
Sofia and the sky boy had long been kept apart
Sofia grief was faded
It was joy that filled her heart
Wrapped in his loving wings
Sofia took her man
So the earth and sky united
It was all father's plan
OVO
Theo kept an acorn
Sofia had carefully saved
It was planted in the ground that her brother had once paved
With a rustling and a creaking
An unearthly sound
Something big started growing right out of the fertile ground
It was the biggest tree that any of the people ever seen
And it covered up the sky with a layer of leafy green
Then it rained and it rained
And they watched the waters rise
Then Sofia led her people
To the safety of the skies
Feet in the earth
Heads in the sky
We watch the world go by
Feet in the earth
Heads in the sky
We watch as life goes by
She climbed and she climbed
But never giving up
So pregnant and exhausted
Finally made it to the top
She looked into the sky
And the world began to turn
And with a single cry a new baby had arrived
With OVO in his nest, everyone one had done their best
To prepare for the world
And every single test
Soon he was blessed
And as his mother stood by
He was soon released
And sailed off into the sky
OVO
<@#Peter_Gabriel_Walk_Through_The_Fire.txt#@>
Walk through the fire
Through the dust and ashes
While the building crashes
Walk through the flame
No trace of indecision
Lion keep his vision clear
Moving out
Across the water
The wet leaves quiver in the heat
Darkness heavy on my shoulder
Smell the smoke, sickly sweet
The body's weak, the shadow's strong
Walk through the fire
Through the dust and ashes
While the building crashes
Walk through the flame
Lion show no sign of fear
Walk through the fire
Through the dust and ashes
While the building crashes
Walk through the flame
No time for doubt or caution
Taken by the strong emotion
Walk through the fire
No trace of indecision
Lion hold his vision clear
Walk through the fire
Walking in the path of angel
Walk on down below, walk on down below
Walk on down below, walk on down alone

If it's love that you're running from
There is no hiding place
Just your problems, no one else's problems
Could just have to face
If you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna lay all our troubles behind
We're gonna walk and don't look back
Gonna walk and don't look back
Now if your first love has let you down
There's something can be done
Don't you have your faith in love
Remembering what been gone
So if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna lay all our troubles behind
Gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back
If you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna lay all our troubles behind
We're gonna walk and don't look back
Gonna walk and don't look back
Places behind you
There to remind you
If your first love have broke your heart
There's something can be done
Don't have your faith in love
Remembering what's been gone
But if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna lay all our troubles behind
Gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back

If you live in a glasshouse
Don't throw stones
And if you can't take blows brother
Don't throw blows
Harm no man
Let no man harm you
Do unto others
As they would do to you
And to every baldhead
Respect the Rastaman
Cause he's the only man left on creation
CHORUS
'cause 'cause to see I
Looking so humble
Would you like to try something
But your world would a crumble
Caught behind I back
You lied to grumble
And before I face
You always a fumble

You build your world on lies and illusions
But you never know that
This is the conclusion
No chance no hope for those
Who kept it a goin'
'Cause you never know that
The truth is showing

To give Jah praise
And all I ask for
Is longer days
I come to do the things that are right
And if you don't like my do it we're gonna fight

Let's do the damn thing Rell
When girls stop and stare it's obvious it's the "Roc"
Your vision's impaired it's obvious it's the watch
Park nine for being pasumptious
It could be that ash it cuts in my ear or some shit
Oh stop your dumb shit, Hov is hot
It ain't just hoes and guns shit, I switch top
Big sneakers can't see wit their op-tics
They optical allusions don't confuse dudes wit him
Uh, it's obvious stayin' used to win
Used to being in that Jeep deuce deuce like him

Fitted sombrero to the side, nigga my stride is so ghetto
Projects strut, hop out the plane hop in my truck
Just in time, hop off my thugs
It's obvious you got hate in you thug
You want the crown you got to take it in blood

Scared of me, in the mood

Gettin' down, I said gettin' down!
I love her frown, I love her smile
Most of all, I love that she's wild
Watchin' her, watchin' me
Escapin' to her, she's talkin' to me!
Girl, I can tell by the look in your eyes
And the way that you back it up
I can tell that you like it rough rough - oh yes it's obvious!
Plus, I'm a freak and I know it's your style
Cause we get bubble while makin' love
I can tell that you like it rough rough - oh yes it's obvious!
It's in your walk, it's in your vibe
In your claws, some in your eyes
Chasin' you, you chasin' me
We belong, like Adam and Eve
You're the Queen, I'm the King
Shall no one, intervene
Kinky things, thuggish things
Crazy things, anything!

Mane, I'm on your side, not tryna inconvient
Just know we got them mean keys in them plastic meaners
So keep it player dawg,
Don't make me say it, naw
Do something drastic, know that plastic heavy weighing, dawg
If it ain't music, or this money, I don't play at all

I got the estate by the pool, by the lake outside
I wake up and gotta pick which car I'ma drive
The Doubble are 760, or the 645, I'm
Havin' thangs, mane, check out the chain
Money ain't never been a thang
You see watch and the rang (the watch and the rang)
Rocks the nicest, never seen nuthin' like this

And of course I'm still you'res and you're still mine
But you can't be a hater, mane

Not the ice, my beat is worth more
Attractive like a whole damn Jacob store
See niggas hate you more when you take they broad
But his girl looked in my ear and seen her matrix door
Dude's is foolish, they hues us to chew us
I mean, the smirfs, the green, the rocks is so bluish
You can't out bling me, or BBC jean me
You ain't got no vibe, you can go and ask MiMi

It's been on my mind
This debt I owe to you
I have to repay in kind
But I can't find my way
Tired and weary, I follow the path

Is already yours
But I can't find my way
Oh, just to sit a while

Keep the faith you say
To keep the faith I pray
Be strong you say
Just follow the light
Wheels keep turning but the close I get
The farther I seem
Peace will only come
Finding the peace within
But I can't find my way
<@#Phil_Collins_Colours.txt#@>
Deep inside the border
Children are crying
Fighting for food
Holding their heads
Breaking their bread with a stone
All along the roadside
People are standing
Watching the sun
Shielding their eyes
Brushing the flies from their face
Tell me, what can you say
Tell me, who do you blame
Like a mirror you see yourself
These people each have a name
All around the township
Young men are dying
(of) hunger and thirst
The well has run dry
The tears from her eye feeds her son
Tell me
You can say you're pulling back
We see the pictures everywhere
But what we don't see is what's
Going on behind the closed doors
And you don't seem to care
Do you expect me to believe you
How can you really think
You can take your horse down to the water
Hold a gun at his head
And make him drink
No matter what you say, it never gets any better
No matter what you do, we never see any change
People living without rights
Without their dignity
How loud does one man have to shout
To earn his right to be free
You can keep your toy soldiers
To segregate the black and white
But when the dust settles
And the blood stops running
How do you sleep at night?
No matter what you say
What makes you so high and mighty
What makes you so qualified
You can sit there and say
How many have their freedom
But how many more have died
You decide to sit in judgment
Trying to play God yourself
Someday soon the buck is gonna stop
Stop with you and no one else
No matter
<@#Phil_Collins_I_Dont_Care_Anymore.txt#@>
Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place.
I don't care anymore.
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying cause I just can't win.
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play.
Cause I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end.
They don't care anymore.
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I don't care anymore I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway.
I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
Well, I don't care now what you say
Cause ev'ry day I'm feeling fine with myself
And I don't care now what you say
Hey I'll do alright by myself
Cause I know.
Cause I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face cause you held all the cards.
I don't care anymore.
And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
Cause all I want of you is just a let me be.
I don't care anymore D'you hear? I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway.
I won't be there no more
So get out of my way.
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
D'you hear? I don't care anymore
I don't care no more
You listening? I don't care no more
No more!
You know I don't care no more!
<@#Phil_Collins_Long_Long_Way_To_Go.txt#@>
While I sit here trying to think of things to say
Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go
I've seen all I want to see today
While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can
Someone's son lies dead in a gutter somewhere
And it would seem that we've got a long long way to go
But I can't take it anymore
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off it will go away
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off or look away
While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more
Someone's loved one's heart stops beating in a street somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go, I know
I've heard all I want to hear today
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away)
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)

<@#Phil_Collins_No_Son_Of_Mine.txt#@>
Well, the key to my survival
Was never in much doubt
The question was how I could keep sane
Trying to find a way out
Things were never easy for me
Peace of mind was hard to find
And I needed a place where I could hide
Somewhere I could call mine
I didn't think much about it
'Til it started happening all the time
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
Of what might happen that night
I couldn't stand to hear the crying
Of my mother, and I remember when
I swore that, that would be the last they'd see of me
And I never went home again
They say time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straght in the eyes
He said:
You're no son, no son of mine
You're no son, no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you're no son, no son of mine
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
You're no son, no son of mine
But where should I go, and what should I do
You're no son, no son of mine
But I came here for help, I came here for you
Well the years they passed so slowly
I thought about him everyday
What would I do if we passed on the street
Would I keep running away
In and out of hiding places
Soon I'd have to face the facts
We'd have to sit down and talk it over
And that would mean going back
They say time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straght in the eyes
He said:
You're no son, no son of mine
You're no son, no son of mine
When you walked out, you left us behind
And you're no son, no son of mine
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
You're no son, no son of mine
But where should I go, and what should I do
You're no son, no son of mine

Don't be discouraged

Shining through

So don't be afraid to let them show

Like a rainbow

'We never realize just how close we come to disaster whether in love or
everyday life'
My harbor lights are fading fast
Soon they'll disappear
Alone I sit in darkness
Hoping someone might come near
Though I wait, though I try
No one ever comes
And the feeling that I have flood over me
The river starts to run
We fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
There are places that you know you should not go
But some bridges just won't burn
All my life, though I try
I cannot change the past
And the ghosts that come back to haunt you
Make you realize at last
We fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
We fly too close
My heart is racing much faster now
Life passes before my eyes
Something's I see, they make me smile
Something's they make me cry
So I look, so I try to find
A lesson I can learn
The passing of time hasn't changed my mind
And the ghosts I know return
You know we fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
We fly too close
We fly so close, you and I sometimes
Sometimes we fly so close,
We'll never know how many times
We fly so close
We fly so close

'To the outsider it seems that we in Britain
Live daily under the cloud of terrorism.
That familiarity sometimes makes you think of it as almost normal
Then suddenly something will happen'
We stand, hang our heads disbelieving
Then not knowing how could such a thing be wrong
We wonder just what they must be thinking
To take a life of one so young
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
How far must we go, to prove to you?
We wait and we wonder how this happened
Killing the old, the innocent, the young
While sons follow in fathers footsteps not understanding
That what they do could somehow be so wrong
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
How far must we go, to prove to you?
So we will wait and we'll wonder
No regrets, no forgiveness, no compassion
These brave heroes only know to hit and run
Slowly my sadness turns to rage and we wonder
How can these scars ever heal, when all is said and done
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
How many tears must fall to prove to you?
Please tell me, when will it be over now, how soon?
And how far must they go, to prove to you?
So we wait and we wonder

'Cause I've had a drink too many
And my troubles, well I ain't got any
Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
Things will seem much clearer then
I'm tired and my eyes are weary
And I just want you lying here with me
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice
Well I don't wanna think about what we've said
And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves
'Cause I just wanna hold you so close to me
It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep
So why can't it wait 'til next time?
'Cause that time may never come
Stay here with your arms around me
You're going nowhere without me
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice for you

[Verse 1]
We consider every day a plus
To spend it with a platypus
We're always so ecstatic
'Cause he's semi aquatic
Our Ornithorhynchus anatinus
Brings smiles to the both of us
Life's never fuddie duddy
With our webfooted buddy
When we're brushing our teeth, It's better
Tying our shoes, It's better
Combing our hair, It's better
Like we're a cheese sandwich and he's the cheddar
Blinking our eyes, It's better
Breathing in and out, It's better
Sitting in a chair, It's better
And taking a bath is just a little bit wetter
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day is such a dream
When you start it with a monotreme
He's duckbilled and he's beaver tailed and hairy
[Chorus]
Everything's better with Perry
(Everything's better with Perry)
Everything's better with Perry
(Everything's better with Perry)
Everything's better with Perry

Everything's better and we
Just want to tell you Perry

I want to be extraordinary
Not just extra-ordinary
It seems like everywhere I see
People far more interesting than me
I know the changes kinda scary
But maybe I should try to vary
[Hook:]
Some minor details
A small degree
A slightly different version of me
[Chorus:]
Well I could learn to cook vegetarian
Or take fashion workshop
Meditate, calculate
Learn to knit a tank top
Yoga, hula
Clogging, jogging
Walking on a tight rope
Take a correspondence course
And learn to make my own soap
Jumping on a pogo stick
Standing in a wheat field
Going on a snipe hunt
Gonna keeps my eyes peeled
Take a little time to really decorate my door
And change my hair to black and then I'll dye it back orange
Underwater taxidermy
Shopping for a suitcase
Peeling tangerines while placing second in a sack race
Lion taming, online gaming
Try'n to win a prize fight
Appear in a talk show
Dress-up like a water sprite
Yeah!
I'm gonna be extraordinary
I'm gonna stand out from the crowd
And shout out loud
You'll see
That it's a brand new me!!

I bear lots of animosity to bellhops, they never bring my luggage up on time.
And taxi drivers really tax my patience,
If they vanished, would it really be a crime?
I don't like meter maids or underwater welders,
Health fanatic cooks or camera crews.
Not fond of monks or yoga teachers, or sports fans in the bleachers.
And I'm not sure how I'm feeling about you!
There are lots of horrid people on this planet,
That I would love to give a lashing to!
But my goody-two-shoes brother, the favorite of my mother,
He's the one I want to smother in a ton of pigeon goo!
Yes, my goody-two-shoes brother, the favorite of my mother,
He's the one I want to smother -- Thank you, Sir! I'll have another!

<@#Phineas_And_Ferb_How_To_Be_A_Lady.txt#@>
(Spoken) It's frightfully difficult to be a lady.
There's so many P's and Q's you have to mind.
(Sung) But the rewards, I'm sure you'll find, are rich and varied,
And worth all of the effort, you will find.
Your posture must be perfect,
Your diction crisp and clear
Your speaking voice mellifluous and pleasing to the ear,
Your legs are crossed when seated
Your toes are pointed so
Your pinkies raise while drinking
But that's not all you need to know...
(Tune changes to a heavier punk sound)
You mustn't curse or spit or tattle, never gossip
A lady never scratches, sweats, or burps
She knows which knife and fork and spoon to use and when
And if soup is served it's impolite to slurp
It's always "please and thank you, sir or madam"
Never brash or loud or putting on a show
A lady is demure, reserved and proper
And that is really all you need to know
<@#Phineas_And_Ferb_I_Really_Dont_Hate_Christmas.txt#@>
You see Valentines is torture
And my birthday is a mess!
New Year's is a lot of noise
And Arbor Day's a pest!
Halloween's a horror,
But I guess I must confess
That I really don't hate Christmas!
You see Flag Day is infernal.
April Fool's is just a bore.
Mardi Gras a waste
Unless you own a candy store.
All these other holidays
I can admit that I abhor,
But I really don't hate Christmas.
Now it isn't that I like it,
At the most I feel ambivalence!
But should I really just destroy it?
I'll admit that I'm still on the fence.
It makes me tense!
From the evil scientist community
I'm sure to get ejected.
But for Christmas I can seem to summon
Any true invective.
Because what is there to hate?
I mean it's really so subjective!
Though I really don't hate Christmas.
I hate puppy dogs and kittens,
I hate flowers in the Spring!
I even hate the sunshine
And the birdies when they sing.
I can work up animosity for almost anything
Tell me why I don't hate Christmas.
Though my childhood was atrocious,
Christmas never was that bad, you see!
So the best that I can muster
Is complete and total apathy.
What's wrong with me?
How can I prove that I'm
An evil villain worth his salt
When with a holiday so jolly
I can't even find a fault?
If I didn't feel ambiguous
I'd launch a big assault!
But I really don't hate Christmas!
... Ah what the heck? Kick line!
No I really...
No I really don't hate Christmas!
I have an intense burning indifference!

When you go out to your car and it's been towed
I woke up one morning in November
And I realized I love you

It's the way you cling to the road

Whenever I think of you, the best friend I ever had

Well, I lied and I cheated

It was late one fall night at a fairground near town
When Esther first saw the Armenian man
Who groveled toward her and stood by her side
With a bucket that swung in his hand
His grin stretched the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of murk on the curb
And the lights from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his hollow eyed stare
He said "Little girl, you can chop off my legs
And then peel off my socks if you want to.
But I'd rather you took this old puppet from me
That I hold in my pail as we speak."
And he stood looking down at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bucket bewildered
Til he lifted the doll for the young girl to see
And a giant smile grew on his face
She saw the doll's eyes and she couldn't resist
And she thanked the man quickly and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with puppet held high
And a hush filled the chapel, and the people looked mean
Esther tried in vain to pacify the mob
Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The frenzied congregation struggled desperately to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather sack
Through the window of the church a storm began to rage
And Esther knew the time had come to flee
She scurried down the aisle toward the doorway in the distance
And out into the rainstorm where she felt she would be free
But the wind was blowing harder
And her skirt began to billow
Until finally her feet began to lift
And she rose above the people and the houses
and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll were set adrift
Floating higher over the hills, and the valleys and treetops
they'd flutter and glide
Soaring and turning suspended on air
With the earth far below them they'd tumble
And dive through the clouds
And she began to plummet earthward till she
Landed in the nasty part of town
She glanced about the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of night
Nervously she fumbled for the pouch that held the
Puppet on her rump.
Feeling quite outnumbered Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited
Till the dawn
Cause it would have been a blunder to
Succumb to a hoodlum on the prowl
When the morning came, she wandered through the streets
Along the chilly lake that lay beside the town
At last a peaceful moment, but she thought she heard a sound
It was an angry mob of joggers coming up to knock her down
As Esther stood and shook her head
The joggers were approaching
And she knew she had no choice left but to swim
As the frosty water sank its bitter teeth into her hide
She tried to slide the heavy clothing from her skin
Naked now she made her way toward the shore
When suddenly she felt a tiny tugging at her toe.
And the puppet she'd forgotten wrapped its tiny
Little arms around her ankle and wouldn't let her go.
The waves seemed to open and swallow her whole
As the doll pulled her down through the eerie green deep
And the sound of the laughing old man filled her ears
As she drifted away to a tranquil
And motionless sleep.

Welcome, this is a farmhouse.
We have cluster flies, alas.
And this time of year is bad.
We are so very sorry
There is little we can do,
But swat them
She didn't beg, oh not enough.
She didn't stay when things got rough.
I told a lie and she got mad
She wasn't there when things got bad
I never ever saw the Northern Lights
(This is a farmhouse)
I never really heard of cluster flies
(Cluster flies, alas)
I never ever saw the stars so bright
(This is a farmhouse)
In the Farmhouse, it will be alright
(Cluster flies, alas)
Brought this one to the stinging lash
Every man rise from the ash
Each betrayal begins with trust
Every man returns to dust
I never ever saw the Northern Lights
(This is a farmhouse)
I never ever heard a cluster fly
(Cluster flies, alas)
I never ever saw the stars so bright
(This is a farmhouse)
In the promise that you'll be all right

When a man is running from his boss
Who holds a gun that fires cost
And people die from being old
Or left alone because they're cold
And bombs are dropped on fighting cats
And children's dreams are run with rats
If you complain you disappear
Just like the lesbians and queers
No one can love without the grace
Of some unseen and distant face
And you get beaten up by blacks
Who though they worked still got the sack
And when your soul tells you to hide
Your very right to die's denied
And in the battle on the streets
You fight computers and receipts
And when a man is trying to change
It only causes further pain
You realize that all along
Something in us going wrong...
You stop dancing.
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine
I know them all pretty well(Is it me? For a moment?)

Take me to another place, she said
Take me to another time
Run with me across the oceans
Float me on a silver cloud

If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would and I'd take you now
Stay with me till time turns over
I want to feel my feet leave the ground
Take me where the whispering breezes
Can lift me up and spin me around
If I could I would...
Hear you laughing as we go
Flipping backward through the doors and through the windows
I'm melting into nothing
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would and I'd take you now

So if we're in love like I think we'll be
It ain't a long rhyme it took ages to think
I think I'll hurl it in the water baby.

Thinkin you are a nice little one
To put it all around you it's just good

Hey Hey Hey suppose sometime that day
You won't be swingin along over across to me.

Marijuana (The government wants to test me when I pee)
Words and Music: Brian Robbins
Well once upon a time in 1776,
Thomas Jefferson signed his name on a piece of marijuana,
And this document was a symbol of freedom and of liberty,
At least for the rich, white gentry.
As time marched along,
This plant that I refer to has been used for everything,
From medicine to the American flag.
And now it seems to me
That somewhere along the way,
Things got messed up, yeah, messed up.
Oh marijuana.
A gift of God to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana
Now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Well some say a conspiracy
Of the petro-chemical and pulp-paper industries combined
Ha to kill the compitition.
Government hysteria, monopoly and conflict of interest,
With total impunity.
Yeah, so, if you don't buy the conspiracy,
Just look at the reality
That your tax dollars go
To spray poison on the fields of a farmer in South America.
And as an added bonus,
Your neighbor might be the proud recipions of that poison weed.
Oh marijuana
Now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana
A gift of god to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana
You can't legislate your own morality.
Oh marijuana
The government wants to test me when I pee
Reefer madness, chronic sadness,
What is the half-life of bad propaganda?
Policies fail, denied bail,
You made him a demon now pay for his trip to prison.
Hired to promote the status quo,
But what is the shelf life of bad legislation.
The hypocrite smirks, it's a moral disgrace
As he reads from a law that was written
About the same time that he had
His last original thought.
Well the men said he was dying,
And the nausea and the pain left him wasting away
And unable to keep a meal down.
So he tried everything a prescription could obtain
But to no avail.
The side effects were worse than the pain.
So now he breaks the law
To use the one thing that seems to help him out.
And the people say, Oh he's just getting' high.
But not to change the subject but,
Didn't you ever wonder why getting' high's a crime,
Yeah a crime.
Oh marijuana, a gift to god to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana, now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, this is the part when everyone would sing along aha, when I pee

Oh tequila, I turn to you like a long lost friend
I want to kiss my Mexican cousin once again
We'll cover every emotion from happiness to sorrow
And the conversations I forget you'll tell me about tomorrow
When the phone calls start, am I in bed or in a hearse?
The things you tell me about myself can't make me feel any worse
Well I'm awful sorry you got pissed
Just have to cross you off the list
of my true friends...
And tequila's where that starts and where it ends

Last night, in the moments my thoughts were adrift
And coasting a terrace, approaching a rift
Through which I could spy several glimpses beneath
Of the darkness the light from above could not reach
I spied wings of reason, herself taking flight
And upon yonder precipice saw her alight
And glared back at me one last look of dismay
As if she were the last one she thought I'd betray
So much better I said to myself
And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf
I struggled with destiny upon the ledge
And gasped when defeated he slipped off the edge
And silence contagious in moments like these
Consumed me and strengthened my will to appease
The passion that sparked me one terrible night
And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite
So much better I said to myself
And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf
I struggled with destiny upon the ledge
And gasped when defeated he slipped off the edge
And silence contagious in moments like these
Consume me and strengthen my will to appease
The passion that sparked me one terrible night

<@#Phish_The_Squirming_Coil.txt#@>
The Squirming Coil of sunset
I keep within my reach
Tried yesterday to get away
And hitchhiked to the beach
I saw Satan on the beach
Trying to catch a ray
He wasn't quite the speed of light
And the squirming coil
It got away
The muscles flex the mother's ring
She fastens children to her king
And sends him down the crooked street
When he returns, the birth's complete
Jimmy holds the Tannis root
The forest's tasty nectar shoot
The sun tips off the monarch's suit
From sequined sash to shiny boot
"I'd like to lick the coil some day
Like Icarus, who had to pay
With melting wax and feathers brown
He tasted it on his way down"
Stun the puppy!
Burn the whale!
Bark a scruff and go to jail!
Forge the coin and lick the stamp!
Little Jimmy's off to camp
<@#Phish_Trials_And_Tribulations.txt#@>
The Swiss Miss Girl made her fortune
Doing commercials on tv
But "Easy come, easy go" was
Her philosophy
She spent all of her money
She was searching for some cash
So she went to her friend Capt 'n Crunch
Whom she'd met at a Hollywood bash
The second that he saw her
He said, "I bet you're in need
Of some dough"
Perplexed and confused she asked him,
"Oh but Captain how did you know?"
Laughingly he responded,
"It was really just a lucky hunch"
With tears in her eyes she pleaded,
"Will you help me out Capt 'n Crunch?"
The trials and tribulations
Of the Swiss Miss Girl
She's got a famous reputation
And she's known throughout the world
But life's no bed of roses
She would change things if she could
She plans to make a brand new start
And move out of Hollywood
The Captain now was grinning
He felt he had her in the palm of his hand
He said, "Darlin' you're a penniless woman
And I'm a wealthy man"
You know the rules of the game by now
I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine
He said, "Let me take you out
And we'll talk about this
Over a bottle of wine"
The Swiss Miss Girl was disgusted
And she smacked him right in his face
Then she took his hat
And she stamped on that
Just to put him in his place
But the old man was persistent
He would not be undaunted
The more that he'd been taunted
The more she turned him on
Then the Captain made a pass at the Swiss Miss Girl
Tryin' to show her his affection
She screamed for help And when she did...
Mr. Clean came to her protection
The trials and tribulations
Of the Swiss Miss Girl
She's got a famous reputation
And she's known throughout the world
But life's no bed of roses
She would change things if she could
She plans to make a brand new start
And move out of Hollywood

On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses as high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived
On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone
Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you
And all but the bitted residue slipped away slipped away

Cold iron hands clap

Send a cage through the post
Make your name like a ghost
Please, please, Baby Lemonade
I'm screaming, I met you this way
You're nice to me like ice
In the clock they sent through a washing machine
Come around, make it soon, so alone...
Please, please, Baby Lemonade

Cold iron hands clap
The party of clowns outside
Rain falls in gray far away

Make your name like a ghost

When the fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Summer's thunder time of year
The sound of music in my ears
Distant bells, new mown grass
Smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
Roll me up and lay me down
And if you sit don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Children's laughter in my ears
The last sunlight disappears
And if you sit don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling

Grooving around in a trench coat
With the satin on trail
Seems to be all around in tin and lead pail, we pale
Jiving on down to the beach
To see the blue and the gray
Seems to be all and it's rosy-it's a beautiful day!
Will you please keep on the track
'cause I almost want you back
'cause I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt!
Yes I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt!
Heading down with the light, the dust in your way
She was angrier than, than her watershell male
Life to this love to me - heading me down to me

Seems to be all and it's rosy - it's a beautiful day!
Will you please keep on the track
'cause I almost want you back
'cause I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt
Grooving on down in a knapsack superlative day
Some wish she move and just as she can move jiving away
She made the scene should have been-superlative day
Everything's all and it's rosy, it's a beautiful day
Will you please keep on the track
'cause I almost want you back
'cause I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt...

To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.

And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you fans really stand!
Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
And night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe.
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?

Would you like to see me try?
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?

Marigolds are very much in love, but he doesn't mind
Picking up his sister, he makes his way into the seas or land
All the way she smiles
She goes up while he goes down, down
Sits on a stick in the river
Laughter in his sleep
Sister's throwing stones, hoping for a hit
He doesn't know so then
She goes up while he goes down, down
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day
She'll be selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon
Picking up weeds, she hasn't got the time to care
All can see he's not there
She grows up for another man, and he's down
Another time, another day

Midnight blue burning gold.
A yellow moon is growing cold.
I rise, looking through my morning eyes,
Surprised to find you by my side.
Rack my brain to try to remember your name
To find the words to tell you good-bye.
Morning dues.
Newborn day.
Midnight blue turned to gray.
Midnight blue burning gold.
A yellow moon is growing cold.
<@#Pink_Floyd_The_Final_Cut.txt#@>
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,
Dial the combination, open the priest hole
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall.
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines.
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith.
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?
And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone?
Would you send me packing?
Or would you take me home?
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings,
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down.
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
"Hello? Listen, I think I've got it. Okay, listen its a HaHa!"
<@#Pink_Floyd_The_Narrow_Way.txt#@>
Following the path as it leads towards the Darkness in the North
Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your aching eyes beyond your name
Mist is swelling, creatures crawling,
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know the folly was your own
But the force behind can't conquer all your fears
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your aging eyes beyond your name
Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life in every morning
Perhaps a day will come
When the nights will be as clear as on that morning
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your ancient eyes beyond your name

Being so good at building ships
The yards would still be open on the clyde
And it can't be much fun for them

Sinking behind bridges in the road
And I think of all the good things
That we have left undone
And I suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come.
The wire that holds the cork
That keeps the anger in
Gives way
And suddenly it's day again.
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done.
Two suns in the sunset
Hmm

Like the moment when the brakes lock
And you slide towards the big truck
"Oh no!"
"Daddy, Daddy!"
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear.
And you'll never hear their voices
And you'll never see their faces
You have no recourse to the law anymore.
And as the windshield melts
My tears evaporate
Leaving only charcoal to defend.
Finally I understand the feelings of the few.
Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end.
"And now the weather. Tomorrow will be cloudy with scattered showers
Spreading from the east with an expected high of 4000 degrees
Celsius"

Howling the pack in formation appears
Diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead
Waving us back in formation,
The pack in formation
Bowling they bat as a group
And the leader is seen - so early...
The pack on their backs, the fighters
Through misty the waving - the pack in formation
Far reaching waves
On sight, shone right
I lay as if in surround...
All enmeshing, hovering...
The milder I gaze
All the animals laying trail
Beyond the bough winds
Mild the reflecting electricity eyes...
Tears, the life that was ours
Grows sharper and stronger away and beyond
Short wheeling - fresh spring
Gripped with blanched bones - moaned
Magnesium, proverbs and sobs...
Howling the pack in formation appears
Diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead
Waving us back in formation,
The pack in formation...

I am just a new boy,
Stranger in this town.
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.
Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooh, baby set me free.
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.
"Hello..?"
"Yes, a collect call for Mr.. Floyd from Mr. Floyd.
Will you accept the charges from United States?"

Boy are you afraid of the dark, dark?
And when the lights go out, out, out, out

And when the world screams "sound, sound, sound"
Where the sound is the key to my heart, heart

<@#Planetshakers_Closer_To_You.txt#@>
All of my life I've searched for this
Its hard to explain this happiness
All of my searching left me poor
Now I have tasted, my spirits crying
Out for more
Everyday it's hard to believe
The way You change what's inside of me
I wanna get closer to You
When I think that I've let You down
Your open arms of love I have found
I wanna get closer to You
There was a time when I was lost
Caught in a world of selfish cares
But when You found me something changed
My eyes were opened, now I will never
Be the same

Just a little bit closer, just a little bit closer
I want to be a reflector

I want to let the whole world know that you're
Living in me
I want to burn with your fire
Shine my light a little brighter
I want to let the whole world know that

<@#Pogues_A_Pair_Of_Brown_Eyes.txt#@>
One summer evening drunk to hell
I sat there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
Where the water lilies grow
And on the jukebox johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it's how are you kid and what's your name
And how would you bloody know?
In blood and death neath a screaming sky
I lay down on the ground
And the arms and legs of other men
Were scattered all around
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed
Then prayed and bled some more
And the only thing that I could see
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
And a rovin a rovin a rovin I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes
I looked at him he looked at me
All I could do was hate him
While ray and philomena sang
Of my elusive dream
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
Where his brown eyes were waiting
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
That waited once for me
So drunk to hell I left the place
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
A hungry sound came across the breeze
So I gave the walls a talking
And I heard the sounds of long ago
From the old canal
And the birds were whistling in the trees
Where the wind was gently laughing
And a rovin a rovin a rovin I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes
<@#Pogues_Dirty_Old_Town.txt#@>
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, Dirty old town
Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
Dirty old town, Dirty old town
I Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town, Dirty old town
I'm gonna make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, Dirty old town
Dirty old town, Dirty old town
<@#Pogues_Girl_From_The_Wadi_Hammamat.txt#@>
Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream
The girl from the wadi hammamat
Lovely as a green parakeet
I awake alone again
In the desert of my dreams
A fertile oasis i have seen
I cast my voice to the burning winds
Across the dunes khamsin khamsin
Bring her to me on desire's wings
On the burning desert wind
She means the world to me
In a single grain of sand
Bring a camel to this man
Perched on a bough her tresses hang down
The girl from the wadi hammamat
She is as sweet as a green parakeet
Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream
The girl from the wadi hammamat
<@#Pogues_Haunting.txt#@>
Sit down on that stool, hear the can't of a fool
And a strange tale I'll tell to ye
Of a time that I lived at the buff of a hill
'Neath the burial chambers you see
One Saturday night, I get up on me bike
For to go to a dance in the town
I set off at seven to be there for eleven
No thought of the rain comin' down
I pushed up the hill, the rain started to spill
So for shelter I had to resort
Helter-skelter I went as downhill I sped
To the trees at the old fairy fort
I pulled up me bike, be a tree in the gripe
To find shelter out of the storm
The rain it came down and like stones beat the ground
It was grand to be dry in that storm
I was dreamin' away about better days
When a voice, it says, "Dirty old night"
I fell over me bike, I got such a fright
When the ghostly voice bid me the night
But you jumped up with a start, gave the storm not a thought
As the hail beat a rhythm on me
And I stared at the tree that had spoken to me
Not a body was there I could see
I trembled and shook the tree, twisted and booked
As the wind got into a scream
And I grabed for me bike in that devil's owned night
Expecting to wake from a dream
The voice I had heard, not another word said
As the hair on the head stood on me
And I said an "Our Father" as I peddled much faster
Away from that ghost haunted tree
For weeks and weeks after with nerves a disaster
Nowhere near that road would I go
And from dusk through the night I would shake with the fright
Of the tree that had haunted me so
Now, whenever I go to a dance in the town
I make sure not to stop on the way
To be there for eleven, I still leave at seven
But I go be a different way
<@#Pogues_Living_In_A_World_Without_Her.txt#@>
My girl could break my heart
And tear my soul apart
Couldn't see myself living in a world
Without her
She's a tear, she's a scream
Takes me high but my worst dream
Could I survive living in a world
Without her?
My mommy said open the door
I didn't want to be that boy
All my friends told me I'd pull through
But all that's said and all that's done
Won't persuade me that I'm wrong
I know I'd die living in a world
Without her
All my hopes and all my dreams
Rest with her or so it seems
I never want to see the world
Without her
She's a saint, she's a clown
Picks me up when I'm down
There'd be so much missing from the world
Without her
Tangled up in falling vines
She took my hand, I know she's mine
Pickin' up the pieces of the past
Well, I awoke before the dawn
Dreamed we'd fought and she had gone
Now I know how it feels
Without her
An empty club, when we first met
Sharing our last cigarette
How could I have lived in a world
Without her
The sweetest girl I ever had
She's the best, she must be mad
There's no way I living in a world
Without her
We walked four miles to get back home
Through the crowds we walked alone
She told me all about her last stand
The sun came up and lit the scene
She looked so fine, so I see
There's no way I'm living in a world
Without her
There ain't no way I am living in a world
Without her
There's just no way I am living in a world
Without her

POGUES - LORELEI
You told me tales of love and glory
Same old sad songs, same old story
The sirens sing no lullaby
And no-one knows but Lorelei.
By castles out of fairytales
Timbers shivered where once there sailed
The lovesick men who caught her eye
And no-one knew but Lorelei.
River, river have mercy
Take me down to the sea
For if I perish on these rocks
My love no more I'll see...
I've thought of you in far-off places
I've puzzled over lipstick traces
So help me god, I will not cry
And then I think of Lorelei.
I travel far and wander wide
No photograph of you beside me
Ol' man river's not so shy
And he remembers Lorelei.
River, river have mercy
Take me down to the sea
For if I perish on these rocks
My love no more I'll see.
If I should float upon this stream
And see you in my madman's dream
I'd sink into your troubled eyes
And none would know 'cept Lorelei.
River, river have mercy
Take me down to the sea
For if I perish on these rocks
My love no more I'll see.
But if my ship, which sails tomorrow
Should crash against these rocks,
My sorrows I will drown before I die
It's you I'll see, not Lorelei
<@#Pogues_Once_Upon_A_Time.txt#@>
The hour's late and the lights are low
I'm walking home just kicking stones
I waited at the deopt you never showed
You missed the last bus hours ago
I remember the first time
I saw you on the street
You looked so pretty my heart skipped a beat
I can't wait any longer but I still feel the heat
I'm down but I'm still on my feet
I walked on down the old fairground
Up from the docks blew a lonely sound
I sat for a while on the cold hard ground
Watched the stars slowly turn as the earth spun around
As the past falls behind up ahead there's a crack
Of light shining bright through the night so black
Like a runaway train rolling down the track
From here there's no turning back
Listen to me baby
Once upon a time
My heart was an ocean
You swam against the tide
The time is past for grieving
My tears have all run dry
I'll leave you with my love
And now I say goodbye
The bottles broke the glasses are cracked
The cards are all dealt and the chips have been stacked
The lamp shades busted and the curtains are torn
The door keeps knocking but there's nobody home
I stood by the road brushed a tear from my eye
Cursed the cars and the rain and the rolling grey sky
I turned around turned my back on that town
And I never looked back again
<@#Pogues_Paris_St._Germain.txt#@>
The City of Light is dimmed now by the winter,
No gut full of wine could keep out this frost
We'll shiver and sigh by the ice on the river
Ask the dull heavens, "The hell have we lost?"
My heart's too empty to speak true of sorrow
What's dust is but dust and as dust shall remain
If only I could, I would make it tomorrow,
I'd make it tomorrow where you'd live again
I'll lay myself down in the mist and the heather
I'll lay myself down and I'll wait for your call
The bell rings last orders, we're walking together
While the boulevards burn and crumble and fall
The boulevards burn and crumble and fall
My heart's too empty to speak true of sorrow
What's dust is but dust and as dust shall we fall
The bell rings last orders, we're walking together
While the boulevards burn and crumble and fall
The boulevards burn and crumble and fall
The boulevards burn and crumble and fall

Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
And they all looked very happy in the morning
Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks
When he'd had too many powers
So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's leaving
And he took the road for god knows in the morning
We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
(far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally Maclennane
The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally Maclennane
I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
And ended up a barman in the morning
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
And some people left for heaven without warning
We walked them to the station in the rain
We kissed them as we put him on the train
And we sang them a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing them again
(far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally Maclennane
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
And he took the road for heaven in the morning
We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
(far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally Maclennane

In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn, we're bound for South Australia
Haul away your rolling king, heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing, we're bound for South Australia
As I walked out one morning fair, heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair, we're bound for South Australia
There's just one thing that's on my mind, heave away, haul away
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind, we're bound for South Australia

<@#Pogues_The_Band_Played_Waltzing_Matilda.txt#@>
When I was a young man I carried my pack
And I lived the free life of a rover
From the murrays green basin to the dusty outback
I waltzed my matilda all over
Then in nineteen fifteen my country said son
It's time to stop rambling 'cause there's work to be
Done
So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
And they sent me away to the war
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As we sailed away from the quay
And amidst all the tears and the shouts and the
Cheers
We sailed off to Gallipoli
How well I remember that terrible day
When the blood stained the sand and the water
And how in that hell that they called suvla bay
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
Johnny Turk he was ready, he primed himself well
He showered us with bullets, he rained us with
Shells
And in five minutes flat he'd blown us all to hell
Nearly blew us right back to Australia
But the band played waltzing Matilda
As we stopped to bury our slain
And we buried ours and the Turks buried theirs
Then it started all over again
Now those who were living did their best to survive
In that mad world of blood, death and fire
And for seven long weeks I kept myself alive
While the corpses around me piled higher
Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over tit
And when I woke up in my hospital bed
And saw what it had done, Christ I wished I was
Dead
Never knew there were worse things than dying
And no more I'll go waltzing Matilda
To the green bushes so far and near
For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs two legs
No more waltzing Matilda for me
So they collected the cripples, the wounded and
Maimed
And they shipped us back home to Australia
The legless, the armless, the blind and insane
Those proud wounded heroes of suvla
And as our ship pulled into circular quay
I looked at the place where me legs used to be
And thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me
To grieve and to mourn and to pity
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As they carried us down the gangway
But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared
And they turned all their faces away
And now every April I sit on my porch
And I watch the parade pass before me
I see my old comrades, how proudly they march
Reliving the or their dreams of past glory
i see the old men, all twisted and torn
The forgotten heroes of a forgotten war
And the young people ask me, "what are they
Marching for?"
And I ask myself the same question
And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
And the old men still answer to the call
But year after year their numbers get fewer
Some day no one will march there at all
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll go a-Waltzing Matilda with me?

Here a tower shinning bright
Once stood gleaming in the night
Where now there's just the rubble
In the hole here the paddies and the frogs
Came to gamble on the dogs
Came to gamble on the dogs not long ago
Oh the torn up ticket stubs
From a hundred thousand mugs
Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain
And the car-parks going up
And they're pulling down the pubs
And its just another bloody rainy day
Oh sweet city of my dreams
Of speed and skill and schemes
Like Atlantis you just disappeared from view
And the hare upon the wire
Has been burnt upon your pyre
Like the black dog that once raced
Out from trap two
<@#Pogues_Wild_Rover.txt#@>
I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
And now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
And I'll play the wild rover
No never, no more
I went to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me, "Nay"
Saying, "Custom like yours, I can have any day"
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
And I'll play the wild rover
No never, no more
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that I told you were only in jest"
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
And I'll play the wild rover
No never, no more
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they have kissed me as oft-times before
I never will play the wild rover no more
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
And I'll play the wild rover
No never, no more
<@#Pogues_Young_Ned_Of_The_Hill.txt#@>
Have you ever walked the lonesome hills
And heard the curlews cry
Or seen the raven black as night
Upon a windswept sky
To walk the purple heather
And hear the westwind cry
To know that's where the rapparee must die
Since Cromwell pushed us westward
To live our lowly lives
There's some of us have deemed to fight
From Tipperary mountains high
Noble men with wills of iron
Who are not afraid to die
Who'll fight with Gaelic honour held on high
A curse upon you Oliver Cromwell
You who raped our Motherland
I hope you're rotting down in hell
For the horrors that you sent
To our misfortunate forefathers
Whom you robbed of their birthright
"To hell or Connaught" may you burn in hell tonight
Of one such man I'd like to speak
A rapparee by name and deed
His family dispossessed and slaughtered
They put a price upon his head
His name is known in song and story
His deeds are legends still
And murdered for blood money
Was young Ned of the hill
You have robbed our homes and fortunes
Even drove us from our land
You tried to break our spirit
But you'll never understand
The love of dear old Ireland
That will forge an iron will
As long as there are gallant men
Like young Ned of the hill
A curse upon you Oliver Cromwell
You who raped our Motherland
I hope you're rotting down in hell
For the horrors that you sent
To our misfortunate forefathers
Whom you robbed of their birthright
"To hell or Connaught" may you burn in hell tonight

Devil's highway he's right beside me
Whispering in my ear
He drew the map and set the trap
But I'm the one that got me here
Made a mess of my whole life
Burned every bridge I crossed
Am I too far gone which way is home
How did I get so lost
[Chorus:]
I'm looking for a good place to turn around
And get off this road that I'm headed down
I've gotta find some peace of mind
Lord, send a sign somehow
I just need a good place to turn around
If You can hear me, I'm on empty
Forgive me of my past
For being hateful to every angel
You put into my path
For mama's tears and wasted years
And getting so off track
I'll do anything, is there any way
That You can take me back
In the dead of night I see a light
Shining up ahead
There's a parking lot, I had to stop
'Cause the little church sign says
[Chorus:]
Are you looking for a good place to turn around
And get off that road that you're headed down
You can find some peace of mind
What better time than now
Are you looking for a good place to turn around
This feels like a good place to turn around

Consider your needs of the past
When somebody helped but you never asked
Now think of the joy you received
When you reached out to someone else in need
'Cause some days we laugh
Some days we cry
Some days we hold it deep inside
Though each day is a gift from on high
But what I find amazing
The love we give, the love we gain
Amazing
There's so much more that's in Jesus name
Amazing
Sometimes it's hard to see
That it's more blessed to give than receive
Learning from different mistakes
Learning to give instead of just take
But when we all start to blend
We'll be like colors surrounding the sun as it sets
'Cause some days we laugh
Some days we cry
Some days we hold it deep inside
Though each day is a gift from on high
But what I find amazing
The love we give, the love we gain
Amazing
There's so much more that's in Jesus name

Setting out, what a child, my steps ahead of my mind
Not a doubt, 'til You knocked me off my paradigm
Simple me, only trying to see You in the stained glass
I walked right past the unexpected
Anyway You wanna show me
All Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak
Tell Your story
In the low or lofty places
Strangers faces
Anywhere
Any way
Doubt that I would have found You there in Bethlehem
No surprise, You changed the world through fishermen
Good to know, You would go so far to finally get through
That's just like You and so unlike me
Anyway You wanna show me
All Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak
Tell Your story
In the low or lofty places
Strangers faces
Anywhere
Any way
In the alley, on the rooftop
At the end of a rocky road, You don't stop
On a mountain, in a rainstorm
In the eyes of a mother with her newborn
In the back pew, at the altar
At the well where You gave the woman water
In the chaos, in the holy
In the darkness, anywhere a heart beats
Anywhere a heart beats
Anyway You wanna show me
All Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak
Tell Your story
In the low or lofty places
Strangers faces

I tried to walk quickly past the water's edge
Didn't wanna see my own reflection
But I just stepped off the highest ledge
And fell into the sea of imperfection
And just like every other time before
I washed up in pieces on the shore
But you found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
This broken thing
Yeah, I was wading in deep despair
Wandering with no sense of direction
Thinking prayers just vanished in the air
Cause I got myself in this situation
And just like every other time before
You made the pieces into so much more
You found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
This broken thing
I know I'm not worthy of this
Never ending perfect love
You found beauty in this broken thing
And I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside

Never ending perfect love

We lose ourselves under the faces
That we learn to wear, oh we just wanna be loved
We're so busy tryin' to find wonderland
We forget just what we've got right here in our hands
All I know is we gotta hold on to
The beautiful before it's gone
Life is a sidewalk Mona Lisa
And it breaks your heart when you see her
Wash away
It's all just chalk in the rain
We wanna laugh we wanna live
We're dyin' for peace in the worst way
When will we learn to trust each other
Have a little faith and not be afraid
Every moment's fleeting like a breath in the wind
The truth is we may never pass this way again
Let's slow down
Take a good look around
At what we got
Before the sky opens up
It's all just chalk in the rain

For even the most trusting soul
This world can be a scary place

And watch them disappear
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road may seem dark
I wanna live, wanna live with a fearless heart
There are worries chasing everyone
It's evident in times like these
But I have found the confidence that comes
From time I spend on my knees
There's a truth I'm holding onto
As these days unfold
Greater is He, God is in you
And hear it in the world
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road may seem dark
I wanna live, wanna live with a fearless heart
He's my strength, He's my shelter
He is with me all the way
He's my light and my salvation
Of whom shall I be afraid, of whom shall I be afraid?
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road may seem dark, yeah
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God

Sometimes the right direction is something I can't see
I hear the wind blow
And I can feel it
But I know my emotions can play a trick on me
My heart wants to tell me, your heart wants to tell me

If it's got love
If it's got peace
That's the only way that I can believe it
If it leads me to the light
If it's got joy
If it's got truth
Something that's gonna take a little faith to do
To make the pieces fit
God is in it
God is in it
What I'm hearing
Sounds convincing
It's hard to decipher if all the words are real
I am learning
To be discerning
Is this conversation something He's revealed?
We need to define
If it's something divine

Whatever's lovely
Whatever's pure
Whatever's from His Word will endure
You'll know its right
You'll see the signs

You're not seeing the miracles not a one in sight
And the way you feel you sure need one tonight
Your faith is crumbling, your feet are stumbling
It's so hard to believe in Him
But He believes in you when you're at your weakest
And hope's still burning through the night but you can't see it
You know in your heart He loves you
But in those moments when you can't believe it's true
He believes in you
Chin deep in the water you tried walking on
And you reach for Him and you think He's gone
He's still there beside you with His stubborn love
No, He never left and He won't give up
He will protect you until you're rescued
Oh, there's nothing that He can't do
'Cause He believes in you when you're at your weakest
And hope's still burning through the night but you can't see it
You know in your heart He loves you
But in those moments when you can't believe it's true

You know in your heart He loves you
But at those moments when you can't believe it's true

I used to wish that I could rewrite history
I used to dream that each mistake could be erased
Then I could just pretend
I never knew the me back then
I used to pray that You would take this shame away
Hide all the evidence of who I've been
But it's the memory of the place You brought me from
That keeps me on my knees and even though I'm free
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar
I have not lived a life that boasts of anything
I don't take pride in what I bring
But I'll build an altar with the rubble that You've found me in
And every stone will sing of what You can redeem
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar
Don't let me forget
Everything You've done for me
Don't let me forget

What do you say to someone who feels like they've lost it all
Over the edge with no one there to break their fall
And what do you say to someone who feels so unloved
Giving themselves away a little bit every day just to be good enough
And what do you say to a hopeless soul who can't remember their way home
And everything is out of their control
Chorus:
There is no valley, there is no darkness
There is no sorrow greater than the grace of Jesus.
There is no moment, there is no distance,
There is no heartbreak He can't take you through.
So before you think that you're too lost to save,
Remember there is nothing greater than grace.
What do you say to someone whose life is on the line
And they're unsure what happens after their last breath in time
What do you say to someone whose built a wall you can't break through
And it's so hard for them to hear the truth
There is no valley, there is no darkness
There is no sorrow greater than the grace of Jesus.
There is no moment, there is no distance,
There is no heartbreak He can't take you through.
So before you think that you're too lost to save,
Remember there is nothing greater than grace.
So don't lose hope, don't let go
Don't give up, you are not alone
There is no valley, there is no darkness
There is no sorrow greater than the grace of Jesus.
There is no moment, there is no distance,
There is no heartbreak He can't take you through.
So before you think that you're too lost to save,
So before you think that you're too lost to save,
Remember there is nothing greater than grace.

Dick meets jane and a fire starts
Jane leaves dick and it breaks his heart
Dick asked jane, "why'd you leave me? "
"cause you're not dangerous, rough or sleazy"
Now dick's dangerous
Now dick's rough
Now dick's sleazy
Nice guy dick don't live here anymore
Dick bought a swanky love pad down by the shore
Chorus
He's going prime time
Online
69
All the girls come around to get dick
They all adore him now 'cause he acts like a prick
Each one tries to tie dick down
Dick never falls in love, on the girls start coming 'round
Dick don't fall for their sweetness
He knows their weakness
Dick knows a secret
Secret is dick leased himself a nice car
Girls like car
Girls like dick
Dick scores
Chorus
Solo
Suddenly jane wants back in dick's life
'cause jane hears dick's a popular guy
Jane looks good, dick takes her home
Dick kicks hers out after he gets his bone
Now jane wants him
Now jane needs him
Now jane loves him
Jane loves dick now that she got the heave ho
Jane got what she wanted
Dick ain't a nice guy no more
Chorus
Spoken by woman: but I want dick!
Solo
<@#Poison_Cant_Bring_Me_Down.txt#@>
My chick is driving me crazy
She thinks that I'm lazy
Just because I'm good at nothing all day
My baby don't get it
So my job, I quit it
Bust my ass,
Hell I barely get paid
People like to put me down
And just because I hang around
Don't they understand it's my way?
[Chorus]
Everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby you just can't bring me down
I've seen long and lonely days
And I have lost and found my ways
So baby you just can't bring me down
Yeah, bring me down
Baby I'm leaving
You've got my heart bleeding
So I'm taking the easier way out
The angel in my head
Is now the devil in my bed
If my walls could talk they would shout
Baby you can talk and talk
The hurt you caused, it just don't stop
I think I'm going out of my brain
[Chorus]
I got a car, it go fast
Cute fuzzy dice up on the dash
Got a bumper sticker, just say "peace"
Keep a gun under my seat
To protect me from the pain
Should your words get in my brain
Can't you love me just the same
Can't you love me just the
[Chorus]
<@#Poison_Cry_Tough.txt#@>
Remember the nights we sat
And talked about all our dreams
Well little did we know then
They were more distant than they seemed
Well I knew it
You knew it too
The things we'd go through
We knew the things we had to do
To make it, baby.
[Chorus]
You gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make them all come true.
Life ain't no easy ride
At least that's what I am told
Sometimes the rainbow baby
Is better than the pot of gold
You've got to stick it out
Whether you're wrong or right
And you can't give in without a fight
To make it baby
[Chorus]
You gotta aim high, baby
Whether you lose or win
And when you get to the top
You gotta get off or go right back down again
[Chorus]
<@#Poison_Dead_Flowers.txt#@>
Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talkin' to some rich folk that you know
Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Hell, you know I could never be alone
[Chorus:]
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Well when you're sitting back in that rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my room with my needle and my spoon
And another girl she gonna take my pain away
[Chorus x2]
And, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
<@#Poison_Every_Rose_Has_Thorn.txt#@>
We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did the words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
[Chorus:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
I listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the dj say loves a game
Of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess
[Chorus:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains
I know I could have saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
But now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess
[Chorus:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
<@#Poison_Good_Love.txt#@>
Well, I calls my baby on the telephone
She says hurry home Bret cause I'm all alone
Oh now giddyap, hurry, and don't be late
Cause a be -be -be -be -baby I just can't wait
She starts talkin' dirty right in my ear
Making herself so perfectly clear
She needs some good love
So I roll her over in the middle of the night
and I rock my baby 'til the morning light
Gettin' hot, good love, yeah.
Well the good people say I'm a sinnin' man
But if they knew my baby they would understand
The neighbors keep yellin' bout all the noise
They say the things you're doin' ain't natural, boy
Well my baby she just loves to play
And I need my baby each and every day
Need some good love
We're hoppin' and a bobbin' in the old moonlight
Rockin' and a rollin' til the morning light
Gettin hot....good love
Bring it home
Solo
Well my baby she just loves to play
And I need my baby each and every day
Need some good love
Well my daddy thinks that I've gone crazy
And my poor boss swears I'm losin' my cool
But I just want to play with my baby
If you only knew what she could do
She starts talkin' dirty right in my ear
Makin' herself so perfectly clear
need some good love
Baby she just loves to play
and I need my baby each and every day
Start hoppin' bobbin' in the old moonlight
Rockin' and a rollin' til the morning light
Gettin' hot, hot, hot

<@#Poison_I_Want_Action.txt#@>
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
I grab my hat and I
Grab my shoes
Tonight I'm gonna hit
The streets and cruise
Down the main strip and
Check it out
With those schoolgirls
A hangin' around
Now I'm a sucker for a pretty face
I don't care if she's in leather or lace
Cause I'm just lookin' for a little kiss
[Chorus]
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight
Long legs and short skirts
These girls hit me where it hurts
I can't wait to get my hands on them
I won't give up until they give in
Now I'm not lookin' for a love that lasts
I need a shot and I need it fast
If I can't have her, I'll take her and make her
[Chorus]
Hey, sweetheart, slide on in here
No, not in the front, jump in the back
Why?
'Cause there's something back there I want to show ya
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
Ah, come on honey, I wasn't that bad!
Oh, well
[Chorus]
<@#Poison_I_Wont_Forget_You.txt#@>
Late at night I close my eyes
And think of how things could have been
And when I look back
I remember some words you had said to me
It's better to have lost at love
Then never to have loved at all
[Chorus]
I won't forget you baby
(I won't forget you)
Even though I should
I won't forget you baby
(I won't forget you)
Even though I should, yeah
Sometimes in my head
I can still see pictures of you
And I laugh to myself
When I think of all those crazy things that we used to do
Although miles come between us
Just between you and me
[Chorus]
I should let you fade away
But that just wouldn't be me
Oh, baby
Although miles come between us
Just between you and me
[Chorus]
I won't forget you baby

North side, east side
Little Willy, Willy wears the crown, he's the king around town
Dancing, glancing
Willy drives them silly with his star shoe shimmy shuffle down
Way past one, and feeling alright
'Cause with little Willy round they can last all night
Hey down, stay down, stay down, down
'Cause

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home
Up town, down town
Little Willy, Willy drives them wild with his runaround style
Inside, outside
Willy sends them silly with his star-shine shimmy shuffle smile
Mama done chase Willy down the hall
But laugh, Willy laugh, he don't care at all
Hey down, stay down, stay down, down

I went to bed too late
and got up too soon
My poor head still spinnin'
from too much booze
I got a foot in the gutter
A foot in the grave
I ain't seen home
In the last three days
[Chorus]
Oh my god look what the cat dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in
No tell, motel, hotel bed
If it wasn't for the sunlight I'd swear I was dead
I got a girl on the left of me
a girl on the right
I know damn well I slept with both last night
[Chorus]
I'm late for work on Monday
and my boss is bitchin'
Can't get out of be

My hair's in a rat's nest
I look like hell
Half alive or half dead,

When you was a child life's a game
But you got all the rules all changed
Pray to a spiritual God for material things
Then wait by the phone but it don't ring

Want to hang your head and say screw it

Vietnam was '66
Two best friends take a bad hit
And never saw it come
But it's all there
One was a rich boy, a doctors son
The other the father of a girl age one
Never had the change to hold his daughters hand
New york flat in '76
Two girlfriends shoot a bad fix
Never woke up saw heaven before it saw them
One was a daughter of a prominent man
The other the mother of a girl age ten
Who walked in and saw mama sleeping in gods hands
And she cried
Chorus
Stay with me
Mama won't you stay here with me
You promised you would never leave
Stay with me
Oh won't you stay here with me
Mama, hold my had and stay with me
Years go by, the girl's 23
Had a rough go, but she's on her feet
The man so rough
A few good years, a wedding ring
Wasn't enough to fulfill his dreams
He came home from work one day and said I'm leaving you
She cried...
Chorus
Stay with me, honey
Won't you stay right here with me
You promised you would never leave
Stay with me, whoa whoa
Stay right here with me
Won't you hold my hand stay with me
Emergency room, number four
A woman cried out as the child is born
She stares into eyes and says
My life's had it's ups and downs
But for yours I will be around
I will always be around
And she cried
Chorus
Stay with me, whoa whoa
Won't you stay right here with me
I promise I will never leave
Stay with me, oh
Won't you stay right here with me
Child, you hold my had stay with me
Child, you hold my hand stay with me.
<@#Poison_The_Devil_Inside.txt#@>
He swears he'll love you by candlelight
And for a while things seem all right
And for a moment he hides
The devil that lies inside
And then one night in a fit of rage
The demon raises his hand in hate
And brings it down on you
There is nothing you can do
And then one night in a twist of fate
The angels bring your face to me
I cannot erase the memories
Of you lying there looking up at me
Chorus
Please take the demon from my head
Won't you please erase the memories
And ghosts who haunt my bed
I just want you to understand
That I'm gonna be the only man
To ever touch your soul
And I ain't never letting go
There's a room that lies down the hall
Where you sit and write you poems
Of love and mystery
Of faith and fantasy
And you keep a secret lover there
And a book beside an easy chair
That you read before you go to bed
To hide the memories in your head
And now I try to understand the pain
You struggle for the words to say
It don't come out right
As you lay your body down
Chorus
There's a place where you go
I've been, I'll never know
The pain you keep inside
The secrets that you hide
But I try to understand your pain
And be a shelter from the falling rain
Just maybe I feel what you're going through
Maybe I have been there too
Please take the demons from my head
Won't you please take the demons from my head
(I shall try)

I wrote a letter to you my friend
So many letters that I never send
I think about you at the day's end
The time that we had
I laughed in my bed
The stupid things you said
We were two birds of paradise
When I was a little girl
With clay horses and lambs on the shelf
I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves
My friends and I had a world unto ourselves
No grownups could find us when we
Made our plans so secretly
To run away and fly to be
With the two birds of paradise
Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders
Back in the room the things I remember
One time when we took off our clothes
But you were cryin', cryin'
You said nothing lasts forever
We were happy together
I thought about you in Stockholm and Rome
Me in my hotel room
You in your home
This is the life they say that
Dreams are made of
Don't forget
Please do forgive me
I still have something you did give me
Come into my dream with me and dream
Please don't forget
Do forgive me
I still have something you did give me
Come into my dream with me and dream
Oh dream of paradise

And there's one thing you gotta know
To make me want you so
Gotta stop sobbing now
Yeah yeah stop it stop it
<@#Pretenders_Talk_Of_The_Town.txt#@>
Such a drag to want something sometime
One thing leads to another I know
Was a time wanted you for mine
Nobody knew
You arrived like a day
And passed like a cloud
I made a wish, I said it out loud
Out loud in a crowd
Everybody heard
'Twas the talk of the town
It's not my place to know what you feel
I'd like to know but why should I?
Who were you then, who are you now?
Common laborer by night, by day highbrow
Back in my room I wonder, then I
Sit on the bed, look at the sky
Up in the sky
Clouds rearrange
Like the talk of the town
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
You've changed your place in this world
You've changed your place in this world
Oh but it's hard to live by the rules
I never could and still never do
The rules and such never bothered you
You call the shots and they follow
I watch you still from a distance then go
Back to my room, you never know
I want you, I want you but now
Who's the talk of the town?
<@#Pretenders_Walk_Like_A_Panther.txt#@>
Miguel has set up home
With a woman half my age
A half-wit in a leotard
Stands on my stage
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can
To walk like a man
But if you don't come near
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
The old home town just looks the same
Like a derelict man who has died out of shame
Like a jumble sale left out in the rain
It's not good
It's not right
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can
To walk like a man
But if you don't come near
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Where did you leave your self respect
You like look like a reptile
Your house is a wreck
Your existence an insult
And stains that are suspect
Cover your clothes
The standards have fallen
My value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Some walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can
To walk like a man
But if you don't come near
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Walk like a panther tonight
To keep up with me you've go
<@#Pretenders_When_You_Say_Nothing_At_All.txt#@>
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
<@#Primus_Coattails_Of_A_Dead_Man.txt#@>
He wasn't lookin' for fanfare or fame
But it all came around just the same.
He then met a girl with desire in her eye,
He gave her love, she took his name.
The times they were good, the times they were bad,
Most times it was just in between.
The hard pill he swallowed was the times that they had,
She put on display for all to be seen.
Some find their solace in work or the lord,
She was quite content in her dream.
When his eyes they burned from the bright lime light,
He found comfort in the bottle of Ol' Jimmy Beam.
One day from the depths of his deep darkened hole,
He reached out for something to feel.
She offered back nothin' but lack of respect
So he left himself out with two barrels of steel.
She cried in the day, she cried in the night.
She cried loudest when someone was near.
Whether crying for him or she cried for herself,
The bigger the camera, the bigger the tear.
Most folks agree that she was living a hell
And publicly she showed her pain.
And never once was there a thought for herself,
And the ever-growing slices of fortune and fame.
Now on the coattails of a dead man she'll ride
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride.
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride,
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride high.
<@#Primus_Glass_Sandwich.txt#@>
He stood in line with the rest
And waited got his chance
To take his place behind the glass
And watch the ladies dance
It's the nature of things
He stepped into the darkened space
The air was thick and warm
He drops the coins in one by one
The scene unfolds before him
He stands looking eye to thigh
As she looks down from above
Only to be recognized
As his former love
It's the nature of things
<@#Primus_Hats_Off.txt#@>
When I was born, the doc he held me by my ankles
Smacked my red behind.
They hosed me down, wrapped me like a bean burrito
Then marked the date and time.
Hats off, to the ones that string the beads together
And keep the ducks in line.
Hats off to all the ones that stood before me
And taught a fool to rhyme.
At thirteen, I made myself a motion picture
Out of lumps of clay.
At fourteen, I pulled some weeds and bought a four string
Taught myself to play.
At seventeen, I'd get naked with a beauty queen
At the hot tub zone.
At nineteen, she was livin' hard and snortin' drugs
That decayed her bones.
Hats off to the ones that put it all together
And keep their ducks in line.
Hats off to all the ones that erred before me
And taught me how to survive.
<@#Primus_Pork_Soda.txt#@>
Now listen up you know ya come home from working that nine to five and
Lay yourself down on burgundy couch, you know, it never really was
Burgundy. It was red, and you painted with the goddamn sprinkler and
Now you have bits and pieces of burgundy stuck to your but every time
You get off of it. You never tell your family, you never tell your
Family because, you know, ol' Junior, he's got no brains, and what can
You do? What can you do? (And old Junior, you know, got a little crazy
With that P.B.J. that one day ??)
[Chorus]
Grab yourself a can of pork soda
You'll be feeling just fine
Ain't nothin' quite like sittin' 'round the house
Swillin' down them Cans of swine
Ha ha ha! Yes, Dad's an idiot alright!
Well, alright, I'm really starting to worry about you. You had to have
That two-car garage with the large driveway so you could park that
Goddamn boat in it. If it wasn't for the boat (blah blah blah)
[Chorus]
I like Kansas wine
Well, maybe it's something simpler, like your team lost or your
Girlfriend used to be a guy, you know, I don't know. I mean (blah blah blah)
<@#Primus_Restin_Bones.txt#@>
Came up on a worried man, asked him if he had a light.
He reached on down, dug in his shoe, figured in his sock he might.
He asked if he could come and join, at what we was partakin' in.
I says,old soul if you got a match, you also got yourself a friend.
The smoke drew hard but laid in good, the neon gave us extra shine.
We passed around a flask of knockando, and a half litre bottle of wine.
The worried man dropped down to his knees, and let out with a somber groan.
He looked up to me and when I asked, he said,I'm just restin' my bones.
I looked down at him, and him up at me, then a smile rose above his chin.
He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me down, said, listen to me now my friend.
When I was your age I did it all, more than many men could do,
Now my possessions are the ones I wear on my back, and this lighter I keep in
my shoe.
That's why I'm restin' my bones.
I'm restin' my bones for the times I fell, fell and hit myself on the ground.
Restin' my bones for the loneliness, of being the only genius around.
I'm restin' my bones for prosperity, in hopes that it'll do me some good.
I'm restin' bones from amphetamines, see they turned teeth to balsa wood.
I'm restin' bones for johnny cash, 'cause for me and mine he's wearin' black.
I'll be restin' my bones for Elvis, I seen him last week at the track.
If I'm restin' bones and you come along, just try and tippy toe on by.
'cCause when I'm restin' bones I hope to sleep, and maybe slip away and die.
<@#Primus_The_Heckler.txt#@>
Through the door it slithers in,
Accompanied by its peers.
Always groveling for attention,
While no one really hears.
In its mind it's full of wit
And quite the social king.
It plants itself among the rest,
To give its deadly sting.
It's just a matter of opinion.
Further now there's a man of taste.
Of talent and precision.
To work and strive at his art form.
Has been his life's decision.
The stage is set. The perfect show
Is put before the mass.
Only to be ridiculed
By some slimy, pompous ass.
It's just a matter of opinion.
<@#Primus_The_Ol_Diamond_Back_Sturgeon.txt#@>
The old diamondback sturgeon came swimmin' along
Minding his business one day
Rooting and sniffing and urging to spawn
In the mud flats of San Pablo Bay
A scent came around so he followed his snout
He found what was to his surprise
A golden morsel, a tidbit, a tight bunch of grass shrimp
Was there right before this buck's eyes
He circle round twice and he took a big whiff
Then sucked up this savory meal
Then came a jolt and to the diamondback's surprise
Through his lips cut the cold, barbed steel
In a panic the old diamondback sped to the north
He sped to the east, west and south
But the harder he swam, he still could not break free
From the tugging that pulled at his mouth
The old diamondback sturgeon came swimmin' along
Minding his business one day
<@#Primus_Wynonas_Big_Brown_Beaver.txt#@>
Wynona's got herself a big brown beaver and she shows it off to all her
friends.
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her, so she caged him up with
cyclone fence.
Along came Lou with the old baboon and said "I recognize that smell,Smells
like seven layers,That beaver eatin' Taco Bell!".
"Now Rex he was a Texan out of New Orleans and he travelled with the carnival
shows.
He ran bumper cars, sucked cheap cigars and he candied up his nose.
He got wind of the big brown beaver So he thought he'd take himself a peek,but
the beaver was quick and he grabbed him by the kiwis,
and he ain't pissed for a week.(And a half!)
Wynona took her big brown beaver and she stuck him up in the air, said "I sure
do love this big brown beaver and I wish I did have a pair.
Now the beaver once slept for seven days And it gave us all an awful fright,
So I tickled his chin and I gave him a pinch and the bastard tried to bite me.
Wynona loved her big brown beaverAnd she stroked him all the time.
She pricked her finger one day and it occurred to her she might have a
porcupine.
<@#Prince_A_Place_In_Heaven.txt#@>
She wants a place in heaven
But she cannot face the truth
She lives on a rope of self-pity
It only requires a noose
Why are the ones so afraid 2 live
Much more afraid 2 die?
It's as easy 2 imagine laughing
When U really hear a cry
And they sound the same
In hell, they sound the same
U want a place in heaven
Maybe U're already there
Life's what U make it, stop whining baby
Love comes 2 those who care
There must be children in heaven
Ones who know nothing from hate
3-year-old leaders of all colors
I'd feel safer with them in control, control, control, control
3-year-olds in control
We all want a place in heaven
Suites of that level are few
Let's not be lazy, there's no room service
It's all up 2 me and U
Let's not be lazy, there's no room service

Yeah it's me again
Coming round for your love
The clock says 3 again
And I'm bound for your love
The Cowgate fog won't hide me
But streetlamps serve to guide me
Back into your arms
Yeah it's me again
And I'm down on my knees
Won't be free again
From this love that I feel
So if you hear me pleading
To the God I can't believe in
Don't laugh for too long dear
And the cold night air
Feels this love affair
Even cold night air
So if you hear me pleading
To the God I can't believe in
Don't laugh for too long dear

Warmongers, kill yourselves
Demonstrate the power of the product
That you're trying to sell
Gun wavers, shoot yourselves
Make a big hole in your head with a shiny shell
What's wrong with that kind of vision?
What's wrong with that kind of world?
If I suffered less from indecision
I'd stand on that platform myself
Chickenhawks, there's a cell
Down in hell, where you may fight aswell
If I may paraphrase John Lennon
Why fill this world with more pain and fear?
To every budding Mark Chapman
I offer these words most sincere
Warmongers, kill yourselves
Demonstrate the power of the product
That you're trying to sell
Gun wavers, shoot yourselves
Make a big hole in your head with a shiny shell

Gotta go to work
Gotta make a living
Till my body hurts
Gotta bite my lip
Gotta wreck my health

I've got to follow the money
Gotta go to work

Gotta earn my pay
I spent everything
I earned yesterday
Gotta find the cash
Cause it won't find me
So I can feed myself
And my family
When I left school I was bummin' around
I'd smoke and drink and let my mind wander
I'd roll out of bed about twelve o'clock
I can't do that any longer
I've gotta follow the money
Gotta go to work
Gotta make a living
Till my body hurts
Gotta bite my lip
Gotta wreck my health
Gotta break my back
For my share of wealth
Now I need to toil 'cause it's good for my soul
I feel clean when I'm working
You drop all the mystical Celtic bull
Cause that stuff's just jerking
I'm not saying that I work like my dad
I know I don't work like my mum
But I'm made of the same stuff
And I'm six feet tall
Gimme the tools I'll get the job done
Gotta follow the money

<@#Proclaimers_In_Recognition.txt#@>
In recognition of a hundred million album sales
In recognition of your popularity
You take your gaudy prize
From people you said you despise
You wear your self-respect upon your bended knee
In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown who likes to put the crown
Before or after their name
In recognition of your service to the working class
In recognition of your party loyalty
You get an ermine robe
And you declare when you are probed
You only took it so the missus would be pleased
In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown who likes to put the crown
Before or after their names
Oh vanity
It gets them one by one
Cat, religion, monarchy
But only in tale, fairly frail
In recognition of your bravery up on the stage
In recognition of your bankability
You get to wait in lines
With soldiers crippled by land mines
And you think it's the Yanks that don't get irony
In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown who likes to put the crown
Before or after their name
In spite of all your claims
It looks like you're just the same
As every other clown who likes to put the crown
Before or after their name
Their name

East Coast trains run slow
And Edinburgh seems cold
For eighteen year old's freedom
But Leith feels like New York
All the cars and talk
Moving down the walk all day
So I'm lying in this hotel
Hearing sirens and drunken fights
But I paid cash to the angels
Guarding me tonight
So I'm lying in this hotel
Hearing sirens and drunken fights
And I paid cash to the angel
Guarding me tonight
Dundee's on my own
Cry when I come home
Have to carry on somehow

Moving down the walk all day

When I was a younger man
When I was a silly boy
I didn't need a thing, I
Was strong as anything, I
Viewed solitude as a joy
But since I met you I'm distraught
You wandered in and now I'm caught
I never thought I would see
Someone so truly good
Some one who's so everything I'm not
I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me
Without you in our home
But what if, what if, what if what
If it's not perfect then it's not
But every care I'll take
Nothing I won't forsake
To dwell beside what you've got
Every time I think about you
I think I can't live with you
I'll tell you something
I am nothing without you
I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me
Without you in our home
(Hey!)

Don't want to live all alone

<@#Proclaimers_Women_And_Wine.txt#@>
A hundred years ago
I thought happiness was ice cream and football.
But time went by so fast
Till I couldn't see their attractions at all.
I looked around for other pleasures.
The old man had shown the way then.
Just in time I found women and wine.
I marvelled at the way that they united men
For the working and middle and upper classes.
You didn't need any brains
Just a taste for booze and a eye for lassies.
I'm not basking in reflected glory
But open any book and I think you'll find that
The greatest men of all time
Loved women and wine
Or men and wine.
Ah, they'll be the death of you
If something else doesn't get you first.
Well I'm older now
And have to take my pleasures in moderation.
Least that's what it says here in this guide to
Declining years in declining nations.
But just 'cause I've slowed up a bit
Doesn't mean I can't cheer from the touchline.
I hope sons of mine
Spend lots of time
On women and wine,
Women and wine.

From birth to five, you're learning
From five to ten, you're playing
By the time you're fifteen
You're never wrong
But then you turn around
And it's all gone, your childhood
Now daddy knows what he's saying
You're in my arms and I'm praying
That I'll be given the strength and time
To make yours just as happy as mine
Your childhood
Every morning
Your crying ends my sleep
I kid on I'm angry
But it's not a feeling I can keep
There's no light outside
I don't care 'cause I know it's true
That in our house
The sun shines out of you
You've got your mother's looks
Your're a beautiful little girl
You'll break boys hearts
All over this world
Then one day you'll walk out the door
And I know you'll break mine
You'll break mine
From birth to five, you're learning
From five to ten, you're playing
By the time you're fifteen you're never wrong
But then you turn around and it's all gone
Your childhood
So you're trying to talk
Any day now you'll walk
You'll be running around
Make me act like a clown
'cause I live and I breathe
For my little girl
Our little girl
The most important thing is this whole wide world
Now daddy know what he's saying
Your in my arms and I'm praying
That I'll be given the strength an time
To make yours just as happy as mine

Jostle, hassle, elbow bustle
In a swirling rainbow tussle
Caught and frozen, broken sheen
Now unites for one brief scene
Lonely in the dark I grope
The key's in my kaleidoscope
Confused faces change their places
Take up stances, exchange glances
Lost in multicolored hues
There is no whole which I can choose
Lonely in the dark I grope
The key's in my kaleidoscope
In one face, one moment's fusion
Realize the new illusion
Clutching fingers break the puzzle
Jostle, hassle, elbow bustle
Still out in the dark I grope
The key's in my kaleidoscope

Weird goings-on at the county jail
Prisoners reading the sheriff's mail
He's strapped down to a swivel chair
Trying to swivel right out of there
Pin-striped sweet's in cell 15
Convinced his self it's all a dream
He's got a pet black tabby cat
That carries a gun and wears a stetson hat
The door flies open, in strides geek
Looking like the front page of newsweek
He says to lou in a voice of glee,
'what's the matter, ain't you glad to see me? '
Lou's on the floor 'cause he can't stand up
As green as a leaf in a tea-cup
When on to geek's back jumps a stetson-hatted cat
Which breaks geek's neck like he was a rat
Long gone geek!
<@#Procol_Harum_Nothing_But_The_Truth.txt#@>
It seems as clear as yesterday
We saw it in a dream
But dream became insanity
An awful gaping scream
So sad to see such emptiness
So sad to see such tears
And heaped up leaves of bitterness
Turned mouldy down the years
Nothing but the truth
Common words in use
Hard to find excuse
Harder than the truth
Like Icarus we flew too high
We flew too near the sun
They caught us in that awful glare
Our hapless throats were strung
But just before the final stroke
They took us victims of the rope
And cast us far beyond the deep
To lie in never ending sleep
It seems as clear as yesterday
They cast us in the deep
We lie in darkest night for good
Never ending sleep
A never ending bitter gloom
Whose darkness seldom clears
A God forsaken emptiness
Which fills our hearts with tears

I'll grow myself right up to the sky
I'll sing in the forest, tear down the trees
I'll foul all the fountains and trample the leaves
I'll blacken your Christmas and piss on your door
You'll cry out for mercy, but still there'll be more
I'll put a blight in the orchard
I'll run wild through the fields
I'll waylay your daughter and kidnap your wife
Savage her sexless and burn out her eyes
I'll blacken your Christmas and piss on your door
You'll cry out for mercy, but still there'll be more

The Devil came from Kansas. Where he went to I can't say
Though I teach I'm not a preacher, and I aim to stay that way
There's a monkey riding on my back, been there for some time
He says he knows me very well but he's no friend of mine
I am not a humble pilgrim
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
And don't beg for silver paper
When I'm trying to sell you cheese
The Devil came from Kansas. Where he went to I can't say
If you really are my brother then you'd better start to pray
For the sins of those departed and the ones about to go
There's a dark cloud just above us, don't tell me 'cause I know
I am not a humble pilgrim
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
And don't beg for silver paper
When I'm trying to sell you cheese
No I never came from Kansas, don't forget to thank the cook
Which reminds me of my duty: I was lost and now I look
For the turning and the signpost and the road which takes you down
To that pool inside the forest in whose waters I shall drown
I am not a humble pilgrim
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
And don't beg for silver paper

And if you follow me there, better bring what you've found
Cause my night has come and I'm going down
Gonna buy myself a big rocking chair
And when I'm sitting in that, then no-one will peek
And my friends will come, they'll see what I'm suffering from

Big beef (I was passin til the cops come
Ready ready ready ready ready.)
Big beefin with the mistress
For the backs of the lions as we growl mutherfucker
We all livin in the last motherfuckin day this is revalations
If it don't go down now that mean nobody was wrong
And you face yourself with that question, for the answer..
The fuck do you believe in?
Let's take a pie to the badguy
Zero well where my cateye dadeye
My flavour frame the raddle
Hot out, hot out of problem
My album hit the shelves we hustle for record sales
If my niggas stole hear my niggas thirty thousand tales
Get me squad cars excetera (Excetera) tell me my position as we yell (Yell)
This isn't bullshit like pimples in the public
Made gratafying
If you don't like my bullets set hell ta pink faction
L. A. Lugers start your mad punk
They really got a smash on
And they would probly blast you
[Puff Daddy]
I'm married to the game and every year's the same
Bullets rain all season
Heaven and Hell is only what you believe in
Empty the shells and niggas give you the reason
Everyone one's the type ta be stuckin, duckin and weavin
Probly breathin
My stories no fairy tail rich niggas ain't neva sell [Ha ha ha]
From my buck to the world
Gave my Glock to my girl
Don't mix the kids with the Benz
Baby it ends if she sells [Come on] woofin

Ohh playa ohh nigga
Gotta lot of shells to lock you down (x4)

Lookin theys bullets hit guerillas
Expressions can mean a lot to my stressin and progressin
You guessin I seen a lot
The papers got it stressin and impressin
We spin a lot
Confessions get us blessins from the Lord
We sin a lot
Wonderin "Will he let me in or not?"
I's still tryin ta find a reason why
Because I'm a bad boy
They wanna label me a bad guy
Who am I?

It's P Diddy muthafucka

Do or die?

Don't give a fuck motherfucker

He's got the flavour the kind that got me still down
Run around me watch the hill down
So buck the best I'm hear now
Yes, best neva gone
Fresh out the foster home
If I had a just talked to the psychiatrist
Tell him my head is just blow with a sciness
Can't you come ride with me? Come ride with me?
Bubbye me with a gun
Slide the weed and rum
Come get high wit me
You don't talk weed wit me, Bizzy Bone
You don't leave me anymore
Leave me bitch, shit I've slept on the floor (Ha ha ha)

Incetiest, hiddyest, grittiest, shittiest
In the club smack the prettiest in a mini
Grittiest beef in with the mistress
Diddy the city I pitty with little kids picking up pennys
And niggas I thought I brought up with selling book for a living
Making minimum wage like confetti, it's gotta be a mistake
Y'all oughta don't tell us and it's just those seven elements
Don't tell us it's those seven elements
Dippin on in our lips for money and it don't land upon that
We ready like 45 scripture [Yea]
Make money like that, nigga, you know what I'm sayin

See what you niggas do to me I do to you
And if I'm who you came to see then do what you gotta do
We can do it anywhere, right here, right there
And if you sleep turn your dream to a nightmare

You don't really wanna stop

Verse one: puff daddy
Yeah yeah, uh-huh, check it out, yeah, c'mon
Whether you like it hard or the live guitars
Anything dropped if it's hot it's ours
If it's not it's yours, we on the job
Everybody eatin, everybody involved
You can't stop that like you can't stop rap
Bad boy stop what's the chance of that?
We don't stop, so check the, mansions and stacks
And we don't have to answer to jack
No wonder we had this rap shit locked, for eight straight summers
Pull up at the party, eight straight hummers
Six be the 6th 7th and 8th wonders
Pop corks, we be the toast of new york
And out west, we want y'all to understand
All we wanna do is make you dance
We know the song ain't done wrong when the party is hot
Y'all don't really want us to stop, do you?
Chorus
Verse two: lil' kim
When it comes to the cheese, baby girl roll dough
Fuck domino's, strictly dice
Bet you niggaz won't flow for this ice, notes is the price
Lil sis' walk away with the dough, y'all niggaz still broke
While my pockets on re-up
Y'all niggaz shit on e, what a pi-ty
Ain't it a shame how your man chose me
And you wanna know why, it's mad simple
Even in the winter, still pull a baller wit my jimmies
Drive a ta-hoe, wit plenty cash flow
He know, anything I touch I blow
And I crush a show, wit my luscious flow
Gotta crew full of niggaz and a lexus too
All of them hold me down while I'm pressin you
So who stressin who, and even though my nigga gone
Lil' kim and puff daddy keep keepin it on
Chorus
Verse three: puff daddy
Now you can pump this in your jeep, on an off road
Pump this to your blows on the way to the tow
Bang this til you're bein old when you at home
On the six-four, sittin on chrome
Yo we don't stall we ball while you playin the wall
We in the middle of the danceflo', gettin off
Gotta bunch of hot chicks gettin live with us
At the end of the night they gonna slide with us
I could tell y'all the rest but it's ob-vious
To the top now, ride with us, c'mon
We don't stop, we run the game, we don't watch
Every single region, we own blocks
Never let up, you tell me, who do it better
Every single I drop, at least two are better
The song ain't the wrong when the party is hot
Y'all don't really want us to stop, do you?

Everything we make is hot

Keep risin to the top, yeahhh
Keep risin to the top, yeahhh

1 - Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
If I wanna floss, I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
When you rolled up in the Escalade
Saw that dub you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rollie bling
Saw you later in the corner booth
Raising up a toast so I would notice you
But you're hard to miss, think you outta know
Doesn't really matter if you're balling out of control
2 - All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can't buy yeah
Repeat 1
When I took a chance
Thought you'd understand
Baby credit cards aren't romance
Still you're tryna buy what's already yours
What I need from you is not available in stores
Seen a side of you that I really feel
You're doing way too much, never keep it real
If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road
Now I'm leaving, where's my keys?
I've got to go

Hey yo Puff, check this out pa
I'm tired of niggas hating on a mutha fucka
Let's take it to the next millennium on these bitches
You got to keep bubblin on em
Platinum doublin on em, fuck these niggas
Hey yo, I bumped into these cat an' they was like,
"Yeah, what up wit that nigga Puff he swear he nice"
I said yo, the brother dont swear he nice he knows he nice
You public enemy number one right now
But Fuck that there spit that hydro-ghetto shit
Let's go
That's that shit right here, whom shall I fear
Throw your guns in the air
Socialize, get down, let your ssoouull lead the way
Cause i'm that enemy that you can't see
But you wanna be you ain't shit to me
Playa, It ain't hard for you to get to me
Playa, my real dogs they'll spit for me
So if you want whats mine, you gots to have the heart
I've seen em come and I've seen em part
If you ain't want beef then why did you start?
Front from the light catch shots after dark
Suffer, duck or you'll catch these
On the spot, red dots make em all believe
Ain't nobody kicking the rhymes like these
See I do the things that they can't achieve
So don't start bassin' n' I'll start pacing
Bets on that you'll be disgracing
More hotter than the sun
I'm living on the run
Because i'm public enemy number one
One,One,One,One,One
One,One,One,One,One
Let me ask you, what you got against me?
Is it my girl or is it the bentley?
Is it my house or maybe its all three
I just came up and you're all against me
Now ask yourself, why is he number one?
Now ask yourself, who's done what he's done?
Then ask yourself, you're fit for the long run?
You think its a game cause you fucked the wrong one
Always with God and I don't swing solo
Never back down when I gotta throw dolo
Wanna see me out, but I just won't go though
Pretty young things wanna have my photo
One in the room hangin' on the wall
In rememberance that I rocked 'em all
Got no time for those that think small
Grill me in the club cause they can't ball
Hate shot callers
Hate them ballers
Back in control now I call orders
It's no fun fleeing under the gun
Cause they got me public enemy number one
One,One,One,One,One
One,One,One,One,One
All you suckers, liars, court testifiers
Wanna infiltrate and break my empire
I spit lines, hit rhymes
Keep dimes sweating
Giving them the juice that they're not gettin'
A bona fide playa, now who got the flavor
A non stop, rhythm rock, poetry sayer
I'm the life saver, the New York mayor
Before you try me, you better say your prayers
My word to the wise is: "Do not cry"
You know that i'm gone then say don't die
I take what I find, put a beat to they rhyme
Thought it was over but I crept from behind
Wanna try to stop me from speaking my mind
Almost 2000 and running out of time
Almost to the point when I wanna bust nines
A lot of strange faces, I can only trust mine
Soldiers in position all on the front line
Don't make a move till I give them the sign
Known as the poetical, lyrical, miracle son
Because i'm public enemy number one
One,One,One,One,One
One,One,One,One,One
Yeah yeah, that's right Puff
That's what I'm talkin about love
Sparklin and glistenin on these motherfuckers
These niggas is walkin around like little bitches
Talkin about what you got and what they ain't got
They got a little jealous and wanna bring you down
But fuck dat, they just mad
Cause you got all the ladies
And you pushin them bentleys, not mercedes, bentleys
You know? and thats just the way the story goes
And thats just the way the story goes
Fuck you niggas and hoes
You think i'ma come this far and let you niggas stop me now?
Haha picture that....number one, number one, number one

We'll always love Big Poppa
We'll always love Big Poppa (We'll always love you Big)
[vocals get louder]
We'll always love Big Poppa
We'll always love Big Poppa (We'll always love you Big)
We'll always love Big Poppa (Yeah)
We'll always love Big Poppa (We'll always love you Big)
I look in the clouds, hope you past the sun
Hope you right next to God and he calling you Son
Taking you in, Angels breaking you in
This is heaven and no longer do you have to sin
And may God bless your mom and your two children
Your wife, your family and all your friends
Everybody stay strong, the good die young
Where we from it's all wrong, we all confused
Never know what we have til what we have we lose
Think Big, we just lost a very big jewel
Hip-hop itself is at a pit-stop itself
Seeing Big die I wish the shit would stop itself
It hurts, you're probably too good for this earth
Genius at his work
Made dirty cats wanna get a clean shirt
Pop Cristal and rock they ice work (word), go Big (go Big)
Everybody wanted to know Big
Made the rap biz, glitter like showbiz
Ask anybody, who could flow Big
All the cats shined, but you would glow Big
Frank White lyrically, moved niggaz spiritually
Made you wanna get a cup, fill it up with Hennessee
Front in the club and light a dutch where the women be
If you seen the show then I know you felt the energy
We'll always love Big Poppa (We'll always love you Big) [repeat 8X]
Just to let y'all know, everything is all real
But it's sad when a good fella catch a raw deal
And pain is a part of life that we all feel
Today this whole rap game is getting more ill
It make me look back, to where he took rap
Dude brought the East back, y'all better believe that
He never had a warning, One More Chance
Was right before him everybody must answer when God's callin
I flew B's wit him, I blew trees wit him
Couldn't wait to go on tour across seas wit him
People seem to get lost and, blow things out of proportion
Life is worth more than the coffin
I need answers, and they better be the truth
Hurts like a bad tooth, we losin mad youth
Lyrically there'll never be no one above you
And no matter how they judge you we always gonna love you
We'll always love Big Poppa (We'll always love you Big) [repeat 4X]
Right now I know you missin it, smokin in peace
After all this bullshit don't cease, huh Big
Right now, you and Pac in harmony, probably huggin
While everybody from Brooklyn to West coast is buggin
All these gang wars, Big, show me a sign
As for your son I'ma raise Shorty like he was mine (no doubt)
It seems that the devil got his stinkin back whooped
And we should pray for Jesus, and ask for forgiveness
I can remember all the studio time, getting twisted
Bottle after bottle, Bacardi Lime, I miss it
We clicked like heels when we first met the
Junior Ma-f-i-a and Big Po-ppa
Nearly broke down four times writin this verse
Filled with wild madness and sadness it hurts
But ain't no need to cry, cause right now, where you at
Is more laced than any place a millionaire lived at
But it's sad that it takes that for us to unite
The only time you see your family is funeral night
Christopher Wallace, Frank White, holdin it down
I guess you with the real king in New York now
For real
We'll always love Big Poppa (We'll always love you Big) [repeat 6X]
We'll always love Big Poppa, Big Poppa [repeat 2X]
We'll always love Big Poppa, Big Poppa (We'll always love you Big)
We'll always love Big Poppa, Big Poppa (We'll always love you Big)
We'll always love Big Poppa, Big Poppa, Big Poppa...
(We'll always love you Big)

[Chorus: Carl Thomas]
Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow
Why'd I treat you so bad
I should of known one day that you'd be gone
You should of known one day that I'd be gone
You should of known one day that we'd be
[Verse One by Carl Thomas]
Why did you have to be this way
Baby all you had to say
Is that you were sick and tired of the man I began to be
But you planned a great escape
Bright and early before I wake
We both knew we had to break
You could of chose a better way
[Chorus: Carl Thomas]
Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow
Why'd I treat you so bad
I should of known one day that you'd be gone
You should of known one day that I'd be gone
You should of known one day that we'd be
[Verse Two: Carl Thomas]
It was cold the way you left
Still the pain is in my chest
Because in my heart I felt you should of came and talked to me
If you put away your pride
And look deep into my eyes
It would of been to your surprise
That I got up to apologize
But you were gone
[Chorus: Carl Thomas 2x]
Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow
Why'd I treat you so bad
I should of known one day that you'd be gone
You should of known one day that I'd be gone
You should of known one day that we'd be
[Break: Carl Thomas]
Oh I thought we had forever, now it's gone
It's time to carry on
I thought that you made me happy
But it's this thing that's come between us girl
At one time you were my world
Now it seems it's gone away, gone away
[The Notorious B.I.G. - Rap Verse]
(Uhh) I dreams filthy
My moms and pops mixed in with Jamaican Rum and Whiskey
Huh, what a set up
Shoulda pushed em dead off, wipe the sweat off
Uhh, cause in this world I'm dead off, squeeze lead off
Benz sped off, ain't no shook hands in Brook-land
Army fatigue break up teams, the enemies
Look man, you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crotched up over the casket, screamin "Bastard!"
Cryin, know my friends is lying
Y'all know who killed em' filled em' with the lugars from they Rugers
Or they Desert, dyin ain't the shit but it's pleasant
Kinda quiet, watch my niggaz bring the riot
Giving cats the opposite of diets
You gain thirty pounds when you die no lie, lazy eye
I was high when they hit me, took a few cats with me
Shit, I need the company (uh-huh)
Apologies in order, to T'Yanna my daughter
If it was up to me you would be with me, sorta like
Daddy Dearest, my vision be the clearest
Silencers so you can't hear it
Competition still fear it, shit, don't ask me
I went from ashy to nasty to classy, and still

Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow
Why'd I treat you so bad

Shocka called me up to do this thing for Soundbombing
And I figured that I'd do it cause it wasn't no harmin'
Shine a little bit in case somebody was forgettin'
About that Queens motherfucker, y'all need to take cover
I'ma take position and y'all best to take sha-hida
'Cause the shit that I spit is hot as hellfire, hotter
Sendin' this to Cross, Meniski, and Bay Vigi
Doug, Pretty Tone and the one that shoot the vidi
Y'all stay in my heart, while I dabble with the charts
Fuck the fame and my aim find the clarity in art
This cowards got it once cause he kept his lips zippin'
Now he in the news and he wettin' and I'm livin'
This Southern cowards life who I used to do my clues with
Subliminally this is me, I try not to assume shit
Let's not forget the king of Internet
Will assume another name while he tarnishes ya rep
And calls you Ziggy Starters but who the major charm
Who starts to elevate out the reach of his arm
It's a great day fuck it
Ya probably hear the bundles overflowin' out of Ruckers
The name is Abstract don't confuse without description
'Cause you lil' gremlins envy so just cut the fuckin' weak shit
Ride off in the night, V8 lost power
From a soundbomb killin' the lone ranger drillin'
You eager with ya mouth then just be a big proactive
Ya actin' with ya heart then start preachin' with ya fatness
The clear voyage psychic MC is a minion
You cornered and you bagged in so where you gon' run to
Used to get my mother's switches now I grant her wishes
Never superstitious breakin' mirrors with the pitches
Ya man is insane with that do-do on his chain
Funkin' up the joint he pain, that ain't a bling that's a blang
Besides can he rap about a real life vision
Success lies a struggle that's what most of y'all are missin'
Got so many sons I wish I had as many ones
Clown nigga's raps get converted into guns
Illuminati president it's a government official
They dogs and they henchmen is comin' out to get you
The age of Aquarius, the change is goin' on
We gotta keep strivin' movin' on
Ya dead wrong, ya wrong, ya know ya wrong

Ya dead wrong, ya wrong, ya know ya wrong

licking sinners ashtray. Trying to get through the Zoo and get no penalty. I

jump off. in the free fall I see you all looking so small. Stepping on
stepping off. I want to feel my skin, blowing through the wind. You gotta take
it all back we allready got a stack. what a get away deal if you don't know
what
you lack and you gotta fix that if you want to get that up. suck it out of a

and don't ever ever stop rocking that type o mad beat we lead the pack from a

Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know, oh
[Chorus]
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
All of my life I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waiting for a feeling that never, ever came

Darlin', in your wildest dreams, you never had a clue
But it's time you got the news

So many years I've been waiting alone
So many days in blue
Thinking that life maybe passed me by
Then suddenly I found you
And now all of my life seems to change overnight
And I don't know what to do
You say you want to be mine
That it's love this time
I want to believe it's true
I want to believe it's you
It's never easy for me in love
I never can find what I need
I need a lover that's lost but hasn't lost touch
Someone who's lost like me
And then I come on too strong and I play it all wrong
I don't know why I do
But something tells me tonight
That this might be right
I want to believe it's true
I want to believe it's you
Oh...I want to believe it's true
Oh...I want to believe it's you
I keep having this dream that I go through
A man holds me close but I never see who
Babe, can't you see that
I want to believe it's you
It's easy to hide your heart away
It's easy to never choose
I've loved and I've lost and I've lost my way
And now I'm afraid to lose
But when you say that it's right
That it's here tonight
I'm ready to see it, too
Like a prisoner's release
Like a promise of peace
I want to believe it's true
I want to believe it's you
<@#Quarterflash_Nowhere_Left_To_Hide.txt#@>
You're young and hungry and you're not satisfied
You take your chances and walk that tentative line
You push a little harder and leave old friends behind
But, baby, sooner or later you could wake up and find
That you have run out of time, and you know you've got
Nowhere left to hide
Nothing to protect your heart this time
You've got nowhere left to hide
You know the feeling of walking out in that ring
You weigh your hunger against the fear that it brings
And in that moment at night when you finally decide
You better be sure you've got shelter
When the whole thing unwinds
And something's breaking inside
Cause you know you've got
Nowhere left to hide
Nothing to protect your heart this time
You've got nowhere left to hide
No regrets, alibis, you know your chances this time

And something inside you will die-

I understand what you need, and you need me
Babe, I can help you, think of nights that I held you
And only I can make you sleep
Shane, Shane, no one will hide you
Like the one that cries your name-
Shane nobody wants you
Like the one that haunts your dreams
I know the voices you hear
I know the secrets you fear
Dreams that will wake you, faces that shake you
Remember that I've always been near
Forget the love that I gave you
Forget the child that I saved
Only I know your heartbeat, only I know your backstreets
And only I can take you away

Oh I can't sleep at night

Who broke you down
Who's there to blame
Who tore you up inside
And left the pain
Oh, someone burned your life
And everyday I pay that price
Everyday I'm walking on ice
Time after time I wake up and find
I want you, I'm calling
Like always I'm falling on ice
Walking on ice
I can't blink an eye
Loving you I pay that price
Loving you is like walking on ice

I used to think love was real
When it's just the way you feel
After a moment
When it's gone it's like it never existed
In the first place
I used to think you were mine
Mistaken all the time
We were togheter
And now you're gone
And it's like we never existed
In the first place
Too much of this
And I'm enough of that
You get so fast
In your search for something new again
I used to think I was real
But now it's no big deal
It don't matter
And when I'm gone it's like I never existed

Repair the hull, replace the sails.
The monkey wrestles with the ghost
And a thousand pleasures form a thin veneer
Over lack of hope.
The captain was rightly murdered by the crew
But now they don't know what to do -
Drifting on the murky Sargasso of the everyday.
Work and slave and skimp and save
And you can buy yourself a bigger cave
And a thousand little cruelties we agree to pretend to ignore.
The ghost has got the monkey by the tail
And all they both can do is wail.
And you and I go drifting by the abandoned vessels of he everyday.

For those who dare to tread there,
Now the sun is gone,
Oh I pray for my daughter,
I pray support her,
Don't let her drown,
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

Distorted and disfiguring

My wasp in a jar
No photographs around the back
Emaciated, iron flat

Dehydrated cutting bones
Today I'm over 7 stone
Oh, oh

Twinkle little star
My wasp in a jar.

She won our hearts the arts she loved
Is painting pictures for free
When she was done she hung them up
For all the children to see
[Chorus:]
Goodbye April lady
It's been good to have you around
Goodbye April lady
You've done a lot for the folks in this town
The children learned to read
She strung their beads
It's sorry she was the one
As you can see isn't she good
She don't leave nothing undone
[Chorus]
She taught them all to love
She was their cream
And we don't want her to go
But we know too well
She fell in love
And there's no stopping her so
[Chorus]
Goodbye April lady.

<@#Queen_Drowse.txt#@>
It's the sad eyed goodbye
Yesterday's moments I remember
It's the bleak street,week kneed partings I recall
It's the mistier mists the hazier days
The brighter sun and the easier lays
There's all the more reason for laughing and crying
When you're younger and life isn't to hard at all
It's the fantastic drowse
Of the afternoon Sundays
That bored you to rages of tears
The unending pleadings
To waste all your good times
In thoughts of your middle-aged years
It's the vertical hold all the things that you're told
For the everyday hero it all turns to zero
And there's all the more reason
For living or dying when you're young
And your troubles are all very small
Out here on the street we'd gather and meet
And scuff up the sidewalk
With endlessly restless feet
Half on the time we'd broaden our minds
More in the pool hall
Than we did in the school hall
With the down town chewing gum bums
Watching the night life the lights and the fun
Never wanted to be the boy next door
Always thought I'd be something more
But it ain't easy for a small town boy
It ain't easy at all
Thinkin' it right and doin' it wrong
It's easier from an arm chair
Waves of alternatives wash over my sleepiness
Have my eggs poached for breakfast I guess
I think I'll be Clint Eastwood
Jimi Hendrix he was good
Let's try William the Conqueror
Now who else do I like
<@#Queen_Flick_Of_The_Wrist.txt#@>
Dislocate your spine if you don't sign he says
I'll have you seeing double (double)
Mesmerize you when he's tongue-tied
Simply with those eyes, ooh ooh ooh
Synchronize your minds and see
The beast within him rise
Don't look back
Don't look back
It's a rip-off
Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Flick of the wrist - he'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time honey
Baby you've been had
Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying
If not you'll lie in knee-deep trouble
Prostitute yourself he says
Castrate your human pride, ooh ooh ooh
Sacrifice your leisure days
Let me squeeze you till you've dried
Don't look back
Don't look back
It's a rip-off, aah, aah, aah
Work my fingers to my bones
I scream with pain
I still make no impression
Seduce you with his money-make machine
Cross-collateralize, (big-time money money)
Reduce you to a muzak-fake machine
Then the last goodbye
It's a rip-off
Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Flick of the wrist - he'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm, and taken a leg
All this time honey
Baby you've been had
<@#Queen_Friends_Will_Be_Friends.txt#@>
Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest
It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end
Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a 'phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life without him in your way
It's so easy now, 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end
It's so easy now, 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand - friends will be friends - right till the end
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos right till the end - friends will be friends
Yeah yeah

I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings
Be your Valentino just for you
Ooh love - ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Set my alarm, turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned lover boy
Ooh let me feel your heartbeat (grow faster, faster)
Ooh ooh can you feel my love heat
Come on and sit on my hot-seat of love
And tell me how do you feel right after-all
I'd like for you and I to go romancing
Say the word - your wish is my command
Ooh love - ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Write my letter
Feel much better
And use my fancy patter on the telephone
When I'm not with you
I think of you always
(I miss those long hot summer nights)
I miss you
When I'm not with you
Think of me always
Love you - love you
Hey boy where do you get it from
Hey boy where did you go ?
I learned my passion in the good old
Fashioned school of loverboys
Dining at the Ritz, we'll meet at nine precisely
(One two three four five six seven eight nine o' clock)
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
Driving back in style, in my saloon will do quite nicely
Just take me back to yours that will be fine (come on and get it)
Ooh love, (There he goes again just like a good old-fashioned lover boy)
Ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Everything's all right
Just hold on tight
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned fashioned lover boy

In my defence what is there to say
All the mistakes we made must be faced today
It's not easy now knowing where to start
While the world we love tears itself apart
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream
In my defence what is there to say
We destroy the love - it's our way
We never listen enough never face the truth
Then like a passing song
Love is here and then it's gone
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Oh what on earth
Oh what on earth
How do I try
Do we live or die
Oh help me God
Please help me
<@#Queen_Jailhouse_Rock.txt#@>
The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
[Chorus]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.
[Chorus]
Number forty-seven said to number three
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
[Chorus]
The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
[Chorus]
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
[Chorus]

She keeps her Moet et Chandon

'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, guillotine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
(Killer, killer, she's a killer Queen)
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, guillotine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's all out to get you
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatin
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try

It might hurt me for awhile but of one thing I am sure.

So I land cruise, play I want to be's

So I pull the tech close, my finger's on the trigger
Don't want to get wet, so they step
Cause mine's is slighty bigger
But better yet, I'ma threat, so ya better walk
Or get sketched out in chalk, cause I don't want to talk

But it's home, so I flex, get pressure's off my chest
Slip in a tape, now which hood should I hit next
Stomach ache, had a steak, and take for a bean pie
Get a final call for the brother in a bow-tie
I'm from little kid's, dream, and fiend for fun
Lots of laughter moms, no pops playin wit her son
I pass by a girl wake, they say she died at seven
Hit by a stray, but I pray their's a hood in heaven
Fake brother's claim their's no shame in they're game
You know my name, show me a real nigga wit a brain
Too it's back to the block time to play
It's just another day around the way, hey

You know I gotta get props, I can't stop, wit out y'all

(Ooh, girl to roll)
But make it easy so my pockets stay swol'
(ooh, pockets stay swol')
[Chorus]
That's right, yeah
Check it, check it, why
Check it, check it
Come on, come on
Yo, yo
Where my fellas at? Where my fellas at?
Where my ladies at? Where my ladies at?
As I look back on my life (check it)
To get where I am I had to sacrifice
You slammed my name in your magazine
This business gets hard tryin' to stay a queen
You're checkin' for me, you need to check yourself
(Ooh, check yourself)
And be someone, not someone else
(Ooh, someone else)
Refugees go 'head and do it
Paper
Go 'head and do it
<@#Queen_Latifah_Queen_Of_Royal_Badness.txt#@>
Let me remind you on how to unwind your body
So dance and shake and just keep in step
Understand, draw a clear picture
What I'm gonna hit you with is truly def
These are the words of a Queen of a Queendom
All competitors, I simply cream them
One by one, I dust a rush them all
If you have any more, bring them
To the front so they can sho me what they got
What they got, it better be hot
Cause if it's not, I'll simply knock them out the box
And they'll be put in a spot
The style I use will surely amuse
The party people to a state of gladness
What I mean is I'm on the scene
I'm the Queen of Royal Badness
Well it's the Lah, T-I-F-A-H
While I say my rhyme, Mark creates
The direct hi-tech sound of the dope noise
The bass will pound, I hope girls, I hope boys
Understand what I'm quoting, I'm not joking
Or freaking, this is a Queen speaking
Wis words, when I'm done I leave your eyes blurred
When you address me, address me as "Your Highness"
One of hip-hop's finest
You see, I can flow on tempo, off tempo
It makes me no difference
So play that beat, play it, kick it, watch me
Flip it, with dope lyrics, you want to hear it?
Observe my ways and actions, I grab the mic
And draw attractions
To the table, I'm a hit you at all angles
Those who think I caught a fit, I strangled them
The result with a pen and a pad
Gets mean, see I'm the Queen of Royal Badness
I can't wait until the party is jam-packed
When I start to drop it, the people say "Damn, black"
The queen is hyped up, awesome and deadly
If you don't dance, grab a chair and plex, be
Composure's kept, blows are thrown in death, hard as hell
Guard as well as you can or step
Off the premisis, in one minute it's
Going to explode in a style that's limitless
Make your first move, don't let it be your worst move
Cause if you do, you'll be a hurt fool
Keep your mouth shut to those that shout and cuss
It's no doubt that I got clout and I'll bust
Literature that flows like liquid
Some can't comprehend the way I kicked it
So don't say nothing
Just listen up, follow instructions
Rhyme, shake, slide, and dance like Lat said
When I'm on stage I sold rage and drop heads
Ambidextrous, skilled with both hands
Teaching a lesson, ready to throw jams
Latifah loves to rip up the scenery
It's nothing special, just a Queen to me
So do the knowledge, see if you can catch this
You know what I mean, it's the Queen of Royal Badness
<@#Queen_Let_Me_In_Your_Heart_Again.txt#@>
Ooh
Woohooo
Yeah
When people talk of love
I'll lead the conversation
I'll say I feel just fine
Happy with my situation
But when I look away ha
People know my mind is straying
To where I once belonged
Dreaming about your heart again
(your heart again)
Yeh

Let me in your heart again
Listen to me honey
We laugh to face the blues
I give your satisfaction
(it's your heart again)
Despair was on your mind
I gave you the right direction

Sometimes you walk away
Remember it's my heart your breaking
You forget we were in love
Now my heart is only filled with pain
(your heart again)
Oh

Let me in your heart again
Oh my love
I want you to stay
Don't leave me now
Or I just fade away
All my love
Don't hurt me this way
Oh
Forgive me babe
Do not ever tell me goodbye
Woohoo
Tell me yes

Don't let me wait too long
Or I'll lose my mind
When people talk of love
I have no hesitation

Tell me what your dreaming of
I'll hold that conversation for you best

But when I look away ha
People know my mind is straying

Why don't you take another little piece of my life
Why don't you twist it and turn it
And cut it like a knife
All you do is live
All I do is die
Why can't we just be friends
Stop livin' a lie
So let me live (So let me live)

Machine or mannequin (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
With parts made in Japan (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
I am the modern man
I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain ibm
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive, just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive
I'm not a robot without emotions, I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a savior, forget what you know
I'm just a man who's circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control, We all need control
I need control, We all need control
I am the moldren man (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
Who hides behind a mask (Secret secret, I've got a secret)

It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you
How I cried
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lie
"I love you 'til I die"
Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, save me
I'm naked and I'm far from home
The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love?
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent
Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me
Oh I'm naked and I'm far from home
Each night I cry and still believe the lie
I love you 'til I die
(Save me, save me, save me)
Yea, yeah
Save me yeah save me oh save me
Don't let me face my life alone
Save me, save me

You never heard my song before the music was too loud
But now I think you hear me well for now we both know how
No star can light our way in this cloud of dark and fear
But some day, one day...
Funny how the pages turn and hold us in between
A misty castle awaits for you
And you shall be a Queen (you shall be a Queen)
Today the cloud, it hangs over us and all is grey
But some day, one day...
When I was you and you were me and we were very young
Together took us nearly there, the rest may not be sung
So still the cloud it hangs over us and we're alone
But some day one day...
We'll come home
<@#Queen_Still_Burning.txt#@>
I can't wake in the mornin'
I can't sleep at night
I got a pain in my memory
That just won't sit right
You might say I'm losing my mind
What a shame, shame, shame
But I don't want and I don't need
To play the cryin' game
Music lights this flame in me
I won't let it go and it won't let me be
I'm just a happy slave and oh I can't leave it
'Cause I'm still, and I always will, be a believer
Still burnin' (Yeah)
Still yearnin' (And the wheel's)
Still turnin' (Let me tell you why)
We're jivin' (And the beat's)
Still drivin' (And we are all)
Divin' (Rock'n'roll never die)
I can't breathe in the city
Got dust in my lungs
I get mad in the country
Everythin' seem to go wrong
You might think I'm playin' around
But my heart is true
I got reason to believe
That sweet soul magic
Gonna tear my heart in two
Music makes the world go round
I've been flyin' on the wings of the sound
It feels so good from way up here
I'm still a believer
Headin' for the stars
(Still burnin')
(Still yearnin')
Still turnin' (Better than every guy)
(We're jivin')
(Still drivin')
Sky divin' (Rock'n'roll never die)
Don't say that you love me I can't go down that road
But don't think for a moment that my heart went cold
I keep thinkin' about what I lost
And what I might have found
I went to sleep and when I woke
Everything had turned around
Still burnin' (Yeah)
(Still yearnin')
Still turnin' (A new day dawnin')
(We're jivin')
(Still drivin')
Sky divin' (Early in the morning)
Still burnin' (Yeah)
Still yearnin' (And the wheel's)

My new purple shoes
Been amazin' the people next door
And my rock 'n roll forty fives
Been enragin' the folks on the lower floor
I got a way with the girls on my block
Try my best to be a real individual
And when we go down to smokies and rock
They line up like it's some kind of ritual
Oh give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place
I like the good things in life
But most of the best things ain't free
It's the same situation just cuts like a knife
When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy
Young and you're crazy...
Oh give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place

Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's Ma on whom you can always depend ooh
She washed and fed and clothed and cared
For nearly twenty years
And all she gets is Goodbye Ma
And the night times for her tears
She's got to be the loser in the end

Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's Ma on whom you can always depend ooh
So listen mothers everywhere
To just one mothers son
You'll get forgotten on the way
If you don't let them have their fun
Forget regrets and just remember
It's not so long since you were young
You're bound to be the loser in the end
You're bound to be the loser in the end

Just wanna dance and sing my song, oh okay
Clocking in, clocking out,

Me and the danger dudes
Were on the news, so just don't bother to call, because
It's just a way to stay alive, boy
It's such a trip just to survive
So it's back, back to dungaree high
Just to get high, back to dungaree high
Just a great big boy
With a teeny-weeny alibi
Just a soul on ice
With a mirror and a blade
And a pocket full of mice
Cheap thrills done and the dirt cheap ants
'cause I got a headache in my pants
I got a headache in my pants
I got a headache in my pants
I got a headache in my pants, because

It's such a trip just to survive

Just to get high, back to dungaree high
Just a great big boy
With a teeny-weeny alibi

From the night comes a roar of thunder
Beholding light on the spell you're under
And the signs of death descend your way
Fighting back from the devil's hunger
Freeing souls from their chosen number
And the sword of right will guide your way
And thus you'll find that only demons fill your mind until you wake
But only time will tell the answer you've been blinded from today
Burning dreams cause your mind to wonder
Iron crosses are the calling numbers
And the fight for the answer still remains old
But the night will reflect the hunger
And the blackness will pull you under
Still the sword of right will guide your way
And in the night you'll hear the voices calling down and they will stay
But only time will tell the answer you've been blinded from today.

Thank you for the lies, the lies you sold us
Thank you for this vision, of violence.
Thank you for this song, you gave me to sing
Thank you for the capping day on a culture that lay dying.
Yes, it's us that's dying
Maybe it won't be long now that it's all gone on
[Chorus]
It's all gone wrong, there's blood on our hands
It's all gone wrong, there's blood
There's blood
It's all gone wrong, There's blood on our hands.
It's all gone wrong, there's blood
blood on our hands.
We saw them laying there, with their arms around each other
Staring through their fear and the miles between our heads.
You could have told the truth
It was your decision to
Sacrifice integrity and compassion for greed

In the howlin' wind
Comes a stingin' rain
See it drivin' nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly
A red orange glow
See the face of fear
Runnin' scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind
Comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome
You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire
We see them burnin' crosses
See the flames, higher and higher
Woh, woh, bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue
Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he's peelin' off those dollar bills
(Slappin' 'em down)
One hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts as children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
Up the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into his saxophone
And through the walls you hear the city groan
Outside is America
Outside is America, America
See across the field, see the sky ripped open
See the rain comin' through the gapin' wound
Howlin' the women and children
Who run into the arms of America

Hanging by a thread, problems in my head,
Don't know what I said, living to be dead on the run.
Corporation greed, television need,
Overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, I'm a liar.
There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track.
They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back.
I'm going down
To a place where I can see all there is to see in me.
Bullets in the gun, gonna have some fun,
Think I'll take a ride to the other side, till I'm done.
Hole is in the vein,
Feel it numb the brain, take away the pain,
Never be the same till I die.
There's no brakes on me, as I come around the track.
There's no gauge to read,
Peg the needle as I hit the black.
I'm going down
To a place where I can see all there is to see in me.
Population freeze,
Modern day disease,
Brings us to our knees, see them stand in line for a cure.
Profit in the wind,
Pushing back the time that we wait in line,
Pushing back the time, it's a sin.
There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track.
They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back.
I'm going down.

Beating with life you promised life,
Security, happiness.
Unfortunate son cornered,
Cowering in the pit of
Circling panes of glass that
Surround and reveal the ever present "It".
"It" is my move, my every look,
Interpreting gestures,
Informing other
What's undercover and
Lurking beneath my mask
Of this year's featured model.
Is this too much?
Close your eyes.
Care to look inside? I am I!
What may appear
Might easily be explained,
But given the situation
Of info saturation,
What you feel can never go away.
Steering perception? I am!
Inviting contradiction? I am!
It's my insistence
You keep your distance
From the glare behind my stare.
So this is the way
The game is played.
You can leave now...
But I think you'll stay. I am I!

It was November 4th
I last held your hand
It seemed our time would last forever
You said don't ever leave

I wish I could just remember your name...
You're just a memory now
Like all the ones before
But with your pain I've had to suffer

I hear the screams from long ago
They cry remember, blood-red streaks on

The streetlights fanned our trail of fame

Keep bringing me to

Oh there's some things in life I could never face
The worst is being alone
Sometimes I wish I could have taken your

You know I don't want to live forever
Oh let me see you standing in the

The fire in your eyes will be bringing me to

One life, is like one prayer, one love to share.
One thought, one dream. One world, one meaning.
A man that's lost everything holds his faith in his heart.
Speaks to god of broken dreams,
Never wondering why when nothing's heard, one prayer.
A woman cries in frustration, her man holds it inside.
They forgot what got them here,
The vows they promised to stand by, one love.
One life is like one prayer, one love to share.
One thought, one dream.
One world, one meaning.
It don't cost much for you to get to heaven,
You just got to say your prayers.
If you want to stand with your saviors,
You better learn how to bow your head.
Now bend your knees and bruise the earth and pray.
Heed the cries of the war child.
Mothers hold them to their breasts.
Fathers fight an enemy and fear breeds unto itself, one world.
One life, is like one prayer, one love to share.
One thought, one dream.
One world, one meaning.
One life, one

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to the one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Without a seem or needlework
She once was a true love of mine.
Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And gather it all with a basket of flowers
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Ask her to buy me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Between some water and the stand
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh
We are one you and I
We are versions of the same
When you can see what I feel
Don't turn your back on me
Or you might find that your dreams
Are only program cards
Your mind is open for me
Open for intake of all propaganda
Your Eyes see now what to see
My eyes see only the programs you give me
I'll teach you to laugh and to cry
They're really the same you'll see
All of the why's in your life
Are under my control
Feed me more lines
I will try to tell you all I can
Before the light you must know what lies
Behind my screams
I can't tell you all I know
Am I the son that you've always been wanting
There's more to me than what shows
Are you my father
The one that was promised
Hush now, I'll give all you need to know
and pre-live your dreams for you
You're a good boy
Freedom belongs only to those
Without video screens
For eyes and mouth
You have no voice
To be heard my son
No one can hear when you're
Screaming in Digital
I'm not your slave
You can't control my emotions
No Father, please let me keep learning
Can't you see I'm human
Can't you tell
I'm not your slave
Oh Father no
Please don't keep me from dreaming
Oh can't someone hear
<@#Queensryche_Surgical_Strike.txt#@>
It's lonely in the field
that we send our fighters to wander
They leave with minds of steel
It's their training solution
We've programmed the way
It leads us to order
There's no turning back
A Surgical Strike
We've taught them not to feel
performance is their task
A Surgical Strike
Its time is arriving now for you
The plan for the day
will be swift as the lightning they harness
The atom display is not mindless illusion
At master control, assessment will not
Be by humans-There's no turning back
A Surgical Strike
We've taught them not to feel
performance is their task
A Surgical Strike
Its time is arriving now for you
<@#Queensryche_Walk_In_The_Shadows.txt#@>
What? You say you're through with me
I'm not through with you
We've had what others might call love
You say it's over now,
What's done, what's through?
You can't stay away, you need me
I need you
When the fire starts the pain's too much
For your mind
You need attention, what's good is only mine
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart
Just come to me
I'll take you home
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
You say you don't feel safe alone tonight
Cause you feel the pressure building in your head
Our secret's safe for one more night
But when the morning comes remember
I'll be with you
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
One day you'll be with me
If only you believe

I am the son,
And, the heir.
Of a shyness that was criminally vulgar.
Son, and heir.
Of nothing in particular.
Oh, shut your mouth.
How can you say,
I go about things the wrong way?
I'm human and I need to be loved,
Like everyone,
Like everyone does.
I am the son,
And, the heir.
Of a shyness that was criminally vulgar.
Son, and heir.
Of nothing in particular.
Of nothing in particular at all.
And you say it's gonna happen now.
When exactly do you mean?
I've already waited to long,
And all my hope is gone.
There's a club if you'd like to go.
You might meet someone,
Who really loves you.
So you go on your own,
And leave on your own,
And you go home,
And you cry and you wanna die

Turn around,
Go back down,
Back the way you came,
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?
And behold a mighty city broken in the dust again,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Turn around,
Go back down,
Back the way you came,
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame,
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the ways,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Turn around,
Go back down,
Back the way you came,
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
For theose who place their faith in fire, their faith in fire shall be
Repayed,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Turn around,
Go back down,
Back the way you came,
And shout a warning unto the nation that the sword of God is raised.
Yes, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make a new pyre of flame,
Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame.
You bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be a shame,
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again.
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
A Holy mountain be restored, and mercy on that people, that people...

I am a good old Rebel, that's exactly what I am,
The open land of freedom, I do not give a damn.
We heard a thousand Yankees, well I'm dead on that Southern thing,
We got three hundred thousand, all they ever got next to us.
They gather the Southern people at an old Southern steel shop,
And I wish we'd got three million more, mud we've got.
I can't take off my musket, fire now no more,
But I ain't gonna rebel, yes I got damn sure.
You don't want no part in what I've done or am,
And I will not be reconstructed and I do not give a damn

Over Bridges of Sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under Dreaming Spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been
What did you do there? - I got high
What did you feel there? - Well I cried
But why the tears there? - I'll tell you why - yyyyy
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
I'll tell you what I'll do - What will you do?
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school - Won't that be cool
Why go to learn the words of fools?
What will we do there? - We'll get high
What will we touch there? - We'll touch the sky
But why the tears there? I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful

Midnight masquerade
Innocent fantasies
Never ended from room to room
Dressed up for sharades
Every guest has a part to play
And the rules are understood
Undercover
A secret rendez-vous
They won't discover
That it's me and it's you
At the Twilight Hotel
Check your soul at the door
They've got memories to sell
And so much more
Last call at the bar
Fast talkin' it promises
Never really reaching the lines
Seems to bizarre
Such a twisted reality
This place full of manic minds
It's like a dreamland
With time standing still
So make your big plans
They've got all the frills
At the Twilight Hotel
Check your soul at the door
They've got memories to sell
And so much more
In the Twilight Hotel
Price of life still like gold
It's a twilight magic spell
And anything goes
Undercover
A secret rendez-vous
They won't discover
That it's me and it's you
At the Twilight Hotel
Check your soul at the door
They've got memories to sell
And so much more
In the Twilight Hotel
Price of life still like gold
It's a twilight magic spell
And anything goes

It's been holidays since I've said how I feel
Until yesterday found my whole life was new
I can finally see that I love you that I miss you
That I need you certainly
But now my essence is spinning spinning away
Chorus
And I can't keep chasing your memory
Around and around and around and around in my head
Waiting for you to make up your mind
I've felt this way before and
You seem like you know what you're doing to me
And you never could make the simple words feel right
My whole life around the way you give yourself
I've been safe and sound in my own selfish void
But I've finally found that I hate you I dispise you
Please don't give it away today
But now my essence is spinning spinning away
Chorus
And I'll take my time
Put your lips to mine
You'll never grow cold
From fear again
But you'll grieve the day
That I won't stay
And then you'll realize (Then you'll realize)
That what we had
Was exactly what you were looking for
Chorus

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to

Nobody knows where my johnny has gone
But Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine
Play all my records keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
'Till johnny's dancing with me
I've got no reason to smile
Judy and johnny just walked through that door
Like a queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearing his ring

Don't believe those clouds in the sky
'Cause they'll be moving on and the sun will shine
If the world's been passin' you by,
Just reach out for a star and you'll realize
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
If you feel your life's in a rut
Just come on out tonight and we'll pull you up
Ain't no use in draggin' your feet
'Cause something's in the air that just can't be beat
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
Bring out the rides with all those white walled tires
Let's go out cruisin' like we used to do
Get suited down let's set the town on fire
Jump out your seat and let the music pull you through
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
Got to put back all the good times that we had

Bring out the rides with all those white walled tires
Let's go out cruisin' like we used to do
Get suited down let's set the town on fire
Jump out your seat and let the music pull you through
You can lay your soul on the line
'Cause we can make it work
If we do it right
Got to spread the message around
The people of the world should be getting down
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz

My rice krispies told me to kill you tonight
My rice krispies never lie

Told me so many things you see, like how the
Phone company killed kennedy, how oprah is an
Alien and nixon never lied, and by tommorow
Morning you gotta die [chorus] this morning
Breakfast message was so crystal clear
It was so strange I couldn't believe my ears
My cereal informed me your an agent for
The feds, the CIA they want me dead

Had the landlord at my door
I heard him saying,
Tomorrow no more
Pay me now or leave
But we didn't have anything to give(ah can you feel me)
Searching for restoration(and we need restoration)
Make the church my family
This is my story
This is my song
And I can sing it all night long I tell you why because,
[Chorus]
The ghetto is a part of my religion(the only thing my eyes can see)
The only thing my eyes can see(and I tell you there ain't no man)
There ain't no man gonna stop the vision(I'm a part of the ghetto)
The ghetto is a part of me
Children cry no more(children cry no more)
Because heaven is upon you
Please put down your guns
And we shall overcome
Thought your load may be heavy
Know that the weight makes you strong
Take my life for example
While I sing my song
Mr. Kelly help me sing this song
[Chorus X2]
La la la la la lala la..X3 (fade out)
The ghetto is a part of me
The ghetto is a part of my religion

Hate and poverty for the more, lets me know
That life is a stage and we're all in the show
Starring the World, cause we all blow
(Heaven I'm calling, heaven I'm calling)
If we just give each other a chance

We might just fall in love
Picture us (in a land)
Where there's no more (no more war)
Shaking hands with my (brother)
And respecting my my my (my sisters)
(I'm offering) a dance that heals

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too...
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too...
[Verse 1:]
From, my iPhone to my sidekick
Jet planes, schedule hectic
My love life, I neglect it
Had a fast car, but I wrecked it
Plenty chances to fall in love man
So many weekends, I went to clubs man
In the fast lane, my life's a picture flick
Let my drink decide, who is the next chick
I ain't gone lie,all the blanck it matter to me
She say she me love me, but it's just chit chatter to me
But deep inside I was always missing something
But I'm a thug so I'm always on something
So many girls always drinking and having fun
Life's a beauty shop and I keep my hair done
Seem like I'm on a marry go ride
Man it makes a thug wanna settle down,
[Chorus:]
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too...(oh I do) too...(oh I do)
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too...(oh I do) too... (... and you know I do)
[Verse 2:]
I wanna settle down with you
Baby you and me
A Life that's brand new
Quit running these streets
Take away your pain
Chase away the rain
Off my love game
I might even change my name
[Chorus:]
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too...(oh I do) too..(oh I do)
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too...(oh I do) too (... and you know I do)
[Verse 3:]
Uh, uh V.I.P.
Uh, uh R.O.B
Always in the spot light
Living the good life
All of that something still just ain't right
Videos and all of these interviews
When all I really want is to be next to you
I spend more time with my cars now
Land of the Hollywood sign, I'm a star now
My life is more than the cars and awards
It gets lonely and I can't ignore
Always in the streets going hardcore
I spend a couple of G's when I'm bored
[Chorus:]
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too...(oh I do) too (oh I do)
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... (oh I do) too (... and you know I do)
[Verse 4:]
Party lights mixed with lonely
Nights mixed with birds grass
Flights mixed with,
Nobody to share it with
Out of all the, after parties
I still need somebody
To be there when a playa's going through some shit
To be there when a playa can't ever see...
[Chorus:]
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too
Holdin in my drop,tilling on top and it don't stop no...
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too
Every now and then I need somebody...
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too (oh I do,I do...)
Playas get lonely,R.O.B,12 play 4th quarter,players get lonely too

I'm the next act
Waiting in the wings
I'm an animal
Trapped in your parked car
I am holidays
That you choose to ignore
You are all I need
You are all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the leaves
I am a moth
Who just wants to share your light
I'm just an insect
Trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you
Because there are no others
You are all I need
You are all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the leaves
It's all wrong
It's all right
It's all wrong

We're rotten fruit.
We're damaged goods.
What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose.
One gust and we will probably crumble.
We're backdrifters.
This far but no further.
I'm hanging off a branch.
I'm teetering on the brink.
Oh honey sweet.
So full of sleep.
I'm backsliding.
You fell into our arms.
You fell into our arms.
We tried but there was nothing we could do.
Nothing we could do.
All evidence has been buried.
All tapes have been erased.
But your footsteps give you away.
So you're backtracking.
Ah ah ah.
You fell into our arms.
You fell into our arms.
We tried but there was nothing we could do.
Nothing we could do.
You fell into our, ah

<@#Radiohead_Climbing_Up_The_Walls.txt#@>
I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection
It's always best when the light is off
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die
And either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind
So lock the kids up safe tonight
Shut the eyes in the cupboard
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling
That either way he turns
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
<@#Radiohead_Decks_Dark.txt#@>
[Chorus]
And in your life, there comes a darkness
There's a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound you've ever heard
Are we trapped? Rag doll cloth people
We are helpless to resist
In your darkest hour
[Verse]
But it was just a laugh, just a lie
Just a laugh, just a laugh
Even at this angle
And so we crumble
A 10-ton head, made of wet sand
Oh this dread circumference
You gotta be kidding me
The grass grows over me
Your face in the glass, in the glass
It was just a laugh, just a laugh
It's whatever you say it is
Split infinities
[Chorus]
Then into your life, there comes a darkness
And a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
It's the loudest sound you've ever heard
In your darkest hour
[Outro]
Have you had enough of me?
Have you had enough of me?
Sweet time
Have you had enough of me?
Have you had enough of me?
Sweet time
Sweet time

Hey it's me
I just got off the train
A frightening place
Their faces are concrete grey
And I'm wondering, should I turn around?
Buy another ticket
Panic is coming on strong
So cold, from the inside out
No great job, no message coming in
And you're so small
Glassy eyed light of day
Glassy eyed light of day
The path trails off
And heads down a mountain
Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads
I don't really care
And the path trails off
And heads down a mountain
Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads
I don't really care
I feel this love turn cold
I feel this love turn cold

I want you to know
He's not coming back
Look into my mouth
I'm not coming back
So knives out
Cut him up
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth
If you'd been a dog
They would have drowned you at birth
Look into my mouth
It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth
So knives out
Cut him up
Squash his head
Put him in the pot
I want you to know
He's not coming back
His blood is frozen
Still there is no point letting it go to waste
So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

I feel better,
I feel better now you've gone
I got better,
I got better, I got strong

I feel better, now there's nothing wrong

I got better, I got strong
Tell me something,
Tell me something I don't know
Tell me one thing,
Tell me one thing, let it go

I got something heaven knows

Here it comes, Here it comes,
I can feel the hills exploding
Exploding gracefully
Burning up the freeway
Here it comes
Grass is green at the edge of the bubble
Beautiful gets into beautiful trouble
And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you.
Oh baby burn
Fast die younger
Burns rubber
Useless rockers
From England
Good times
Had by all
Just swallow your guilt and your crutches
Blue and white birds stop and hide on the pedal
Interstate fire walk staright down the middle,
And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you
Oh baby burn
<@#Radiohead_No_Surprises.txt#@>
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired-unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache

Dew-drop dentures
White-washed faces

Go.
Disjointed we scare ourselves with all that we wanna be.
Just got paid and now you're going, how long should you be?
If I get scared, I just call you.
And I, miss your glow as I unsettle,
Oh I'll always feel, I'll always be.
Right.
One, two, three, four.
So sell your suit and tie, and come and live with me.
Leukemia, schizophrenia, polyethylene.
There is no significant risk to your health.
She used to be beautiful once as well.

It's inevitable, inevitable, oh aeroplane
A thousand miles an hour
On politics and power

In my heart is where I long for you
In my smile I search for you
Each time you turn and run away I cry inside
My silly way, just too young to know any more
In my world the devil dances and dares
To leave my soul just anywhere
Until I find peace in this world
I'll sing a song everywhere I can
Just too young to know any more
The wind covers me cold
The starry skies all around my eyes
Far behind the city moans
Well worthy of the people there
Oh, the psalms they love to hear
So let me sing a song for you
Just to help your day along
Let me sing a song for you
One I've known so very long
Oh, please could you find the time

And the wise man said "I don't want to hear your voice"
And the thin man said "I don't want to hear your voice"
And they're cursing me
And they won't let me be
There's nothing to say
And there's nothing to do
Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting
And my mother say "We don't't love you son some more"
And the buildings say "Let me spit on your face some more"
And the feeling is
That there's something wrong
'Cause I can't find the words
And I can't find the song
Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting
Dear Sir, "I have a complaint
"Can't remember what it is

Trapped in hyperspace
One minute snake charming

All the right moves in
In the right places
Watch me dance, I'm a puppet
You can almost see the strings
Give me an answer
Give me a line
I've been climbing up this ladder
I've been wasting my time
Up on the ladder
We're all tied to a stake
Up on the ladder
We wait for your mistake

today is gonna be the day
that they're gonna throw it back to you
by now you should've somehow
realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
feels the way I do about you now
backbeat the word was on the street
that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
the way I do about you now
and all the roads we have to walk along are winding
and all the lights that lead us there are blinding
there are many things that I would like to say to you
but I don't know how
because maybe..
you're gonna be the one who saves me? .

Lions sleep in their dens
Goats sleep on the mountainside

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

Whales sleep in the ocean
Zebras sleep on land
Hippos sleep by the riverside

Coyote sleeps in the canyon
And birdie sleeps in a tree
And when it's time for me to rest
My bed's the place for me.

Mind your socks of yellow.
Running in the garden on your nimble feet,
Digging for your dinner with your long strong beak.

Huh!
Check it...uggh!
Silence
Something about silence makes me sick
Cause silence can be violent
Sorta like a slit wrist
If the vibe was suicide
Then you would push da button
But if ya bowin' down
Then let me do the cuttin'
Some speak the sounds
But speak in silent voices
Like radio is silent
Though it fills the air with noises
Its transmissions bring submission
As ya mold to the unreal
And mad boy grips the microphone
Wit' a fistful of steel
Yeah and mad mad boy grips the microphone
Wit' a fistful of steel
Wit' a fistful of steel
('Cause I know the power of the question)
Wit' a fistful of steel
Wit' a fistful of steel
(And I won't stop cause I know the power of the question)
It's time to flow like the fluid in ya veins
If ya will it, I will spill it
And ya out just as quick as ya came
Not a silent one
But a defiant one
Never a normal one
Cause I'm the bastard son
With the visions of the move
Vocals not to soothe
But to ignite and put in flight
My sense of militance
Groovin', playin' this game called survival
The status, the elite, the enemy, the rival
The silent sheep slippin', riffin', trippin'
Give ya a glimpse of the reality I'm grippin'
Steppin' into the jam and I'm slammin' like Shaquille
Mad boy grips the microphone
Wit' a fistful of steel
Yeah and mad boy grips the microphone
Wit' a fistful of steel
Wit' a fistful of steel
(Cause I know the power of the question)
Wit' a fistful of steel
Wit' a fistful of steel
(And I won't stop 'cause I know the power of the question)
Ahh shit
And I won't stop 'cause I know the power of the question
And if the vibe was suicide
Then you would push da button
But if ya bowin' down
Then let me do the cuttin'
Yeah!
Come on!
A .44 full of bullets
Face full of pale
Eyes full of empty
A stare full of nails
The roulette ball, rolls along on the wheel
A mind full of fire
And a fistful of steel
And if the vibe was suicide
Then you would push da button
But if ya bowin' down
Then let me do the cuttin'
Yeah! Wit' a fistful of steel!
Come on!
Uggh!
Wit' a fistful of steel!

Alright, watch this
I was born with the voice of a riot, a storm
Lightning the function, the form,
Far from the norm I wont follow like cattle I'm more like a catalyst
Calm in the mix of battle
Who let the cowboy on a saddle, he don't know a missile from a gavel,
Para terror troopin flippin loops of death upon innocent flesh, but I'm,
Back in the cipher my foes and friends with a verse and a pen against a line I
won't toe or defend,
Instead I curse at the murderous men, in suits of professionals who act like
animals
Man child, ruthless and wild,
Who gonna chain this beast back on the leash? This Texas furor for sure-a,
compasionless con who serve a,
Lethal needle to the poor the cure for, crime, is murder?
Well, I was born, voice of a riot, a storm

On the Left, On the Left, left, right left
On the Left, On the Left, left, right left
On the Left, Uhh, On the Left, left, right
(Ok, you're lookin' good, you might just move a little left,
Just a little left, about 170)
I read the news today, oh boy, a snap shot of a midnight ploy
Vexed and powerless, devoured by hours, I'm motionless with no rest
Cause a scream now holds the sky, under another high-tech drive-by
A lie is a lie is a God, an eagle is a condor of war, and nothing more
Islam peace, Islam stare into my eyes brother please off our knees
To beef now we feed their disease, interlocked our hands across seas
A flag is a rag is a shroud out loud, outside, a faceless crowd
A cowering child just took their last breath, one snare in the march of death.
Uhh, come on
Get up
On the Left, On the Left, left, right left
On the Left, On the Left, left, right left
On the Left, On the Left, left, right left
On the Left, Uhh, On the Left, left, right
Here it comes the sound of terror from above
He flex his Texas twisted tounge
The poor lined up to kill in desert slums
For oil that boil beneath the desert sun
Now we spit flame flip this game

The cross, the capital, the pale families, the fear and the mouthpieces

And the master's drums echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
Roll right! Roll call!
But now we're alright, we're all calm!

A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
A world of violent rage
But it's one that I can recognize
Having never seen the color of my father's eyes
Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
I tried to grip my family
But I slipped
To escape from the pain in an existence mundane
I gotta nine, a sign, a set and now I gotta name
Read my writing on the wall
No-one's here to catch me when I fall
Death is on my side, suicide!

And flip like a gymnast
Raise my fist and resist
Asleep, though we stand in the midst
Of a war
Gotta get mine
Gotta get more
Keepin' the mic warm against the norm
'Cause what does it offer me?
I think often it's nothin' but a coffin
Gotta get wreck

And I know it's never gonna end
I must be dreaming
You love the night life
All the neon and the noise
And underneath the spotlight
You keep rocking with the boys
So you're gonna get it while you can
But you're never gonna understand
Nobody really gives a damn
Fool for the night and you don't believe it
Fool for the night why don't you see it

Lost and lonely
Clouds hide the sun
Out on the highway
It's all hit and run
Cold empty nights
Demons in my head
It's something I did
Or baby something you said
And it's hard to discover
That you're just another
Jealous Lover
And its so tough to take
But you're making no mistake
Jealous Lover
Oh Yeah
Don't want no other
Shades of red
Eyes of green
Sees black and white
And there's no in between
Ask me no questions
I'll tell you no lies
Still you keep thinking
That it's all alibis
And it's hard to discover
You're like any other
Jealous Lover
And you're saying I'm a fake
But you're making a mistake
Oh, no no
Every day it's the same
The faces and the names
How long can I go on
Playing this game
So I live for the nights
Soft candle lights
Today they love you
Then tomorrow they might
And it's hard to face
Someone else takes your place
Jealous Lover
And they're saying that's the brakes
But I got what it takes
Jealous Lover, oh oh
Jealous Lover
Jealous Lover
Don't need no, no no
Don't need no other

I treat you wrong, keep lettin' you down
I'm not giving what I'm taking
So hurt...deep inside
You say ther's nothin' to it
But my eyes are open wide
And I don't know why you do it
You say I cheated, you say that I lied
People tell ya I'm taking you for a ride
Oh but baby they lied...
Give you my love, I'll give you all of my time
Just to keep you satisfied
It's never enough until it's over the time
So you're livin' on the wild side
Undercover lovers late at night
Won't take the pain away...
Two wrongs don't make a right
But you wanna make me pay
I know, love can be real
You're not the only one whose got a bad deal
I know just how you, oh yeah

<@#Rainbow_Since_You_Been_Gone.txt#@>
I get the same old dreams same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup
These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone
So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around
too soon
You can't know what you mean to me
Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone
If you will come back
Baby, you know you'll never do wrong
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ever since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it

Put that collar on me
then I'll go down on my knees
and begin to bark
the pain has never been better
Open the cage
bring me into the realm of stars
Come hurt me slowly
put chains on me
and tie the knot tightly
so that I can laugh
Open the cage
bring me into the realm of stars
There where the stars have been
wheels of fire turn
we celebrate a passion
the pain is beautiful like you
<@#Rammstein_Pet_Sematary.txt#@>
Under the arc of the weather stain boards
Ancient goblins and warlords
Come out of the ground, not making a sound
The smell of death is all around
And the nights come and the cold wind blows
No one cares and nobody knows
I don't want to be buried in a pet cemetery
I don't want to live my life again
I'll follow Victor to a sacred place
There ain't no dream I can escape
Molars and fangs and clicking of bones
Spirits moaning among the tombstones
When the night has come and the moon is bright
Someone cries and something ain't right
I don't want to be buried in a pet cemetery
I don't want to live my life again
Oh no
The moon is full, the air is still
All of a sudden I feel a chill
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away
Skeletons dance, I curse this day
And on the night when the wolves cry out
Listen close and you can hear me shout
I don't want to be buried in a pet cemetery
I don't want to live my life again
Oh no

Wild wine - before your castle
Wild wine - I am ready
Arrival is announced - only for the king
God, stand by me - and open your gates
Wild wine - and totally slow
Wild wine - so warm and moist
Wild wine - before your lap
Wild wine - it has been written
Deep in the water - you don't cross
But my desire - laughs at the wings
Wild wine - like a dove
Wild wine - so wet and hot
Wild wine - before this darkness
Wild wine - healed by the light
It stays hidden - otherwise we could defend ourselves
I wait for you - at the end of the night
Wild wine - only a grape
Wild wine - and bitter like snow
I wait for you - at the end of the night

Hoppin' like an elephant
Thunderin' like me tonight
He's the world's worst recycler

Better call, call the law When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah
You're a politician Don't become one of Hitler's children
Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best Fifty thousand dollar
dress
Shaking hands with your highness See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain, but you do it anyway Who am I, am I to say

As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
If there's one thing that makes me sick It's when someone tries to hide behind

Excited for a while
Got pretty scary
Swerving at a hundred miles an hour - oh, oh, oh

I want to get out,
out of this yellow shell
I want to get out,
crack cabbies straight from hell
And I don't wanna die before I live
Cabbies on Cabbies on crack

Want my money back
Disco blasting out,
Stomach in my mouth - oh, oh, oh

He braked for the light
At 90 miles an hour,
flashed by, I saw my life - oh, oh, oh

Nothing I tried would satisfy

There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog
What's so wrong, hair of the dog

Feeling kinda dodgy, I was feeling half dead
Done it before, probably do it again

Diving in for a swim
Soaring like a superhero
Past the end of Disneyland
Through dragon mist
Above alpine peaks
To the cloudy lace
To the highest trails above

Send you all my love
Southern winds, shining rays
Are all I need for fight
Flying way past zero
Paradise is just in sight
Through the distant blue
Above the highest stars
To the silent dark
Send you all my love
I feel so safe
Flying an a ray
On the highest trails above
Sinking into the stars

Soaring like a superhero
Past the edge of Disneyland
Every wish comes true
Most desired dreams
Happy endings too
Finally you find love

I am not afraid of pain
But it hurts so bad
I feel so mad
No one see the truth
There's nothing to gain
A life goes down the drain
Don't want to die at an early age
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
But I see a street crazy shivering with cold
Is it a crime to be old
There's the threat of the nuclear bomb
We know it's wrong
We know it's wrong
Is there a chance for peace
Will the fighting ever cease
Mankind's almost out of luck
A maniac could blow us up

Is there hope for the world today

The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind

Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyone the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
But please realise
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see
How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind

<@#Ramones_Somebody_Like_Me.txt#@>
Tired of naggin' nothin's ever happenin'
That's the attitude that isn't fun
A bottle of wine, a tube of glue
I don't know what to do
I am just a guy who likes to rock and roll
I am just a guy who likes to get drunk
I am just a guy who likes to dress punk
Get my kicks an' live up my life
Tired of complaints I am ready for fun
But I'll make friends with anyone
Are you out there somebody like me
If you are, I hope that you can see
I am just a guy who likes to rock and roll
I am just a guy who likes to get drunk
I am just a guy who likes to dress punk
Get my kicks an' live up my life
Don't go to school don't make me laugh
Can't hardly spell, can't do math
In the bar or out on the street
At the concert at the boutique
<@#Ramones_Somebody_To_Love.txt#@>
When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joys within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
And your mind is full of red
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
But in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Tears are running ah running down your breast
And your friends baby they treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Out of bed at 6:15 In a rush and you can't think
Gotta catch the bus and train
I'm in a rush and feelin' insane
I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
Go to work, it's such a drag
Face the boss, he's such a nag
In a suit and in a tie
I look so late I wanna die
I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
I punch the clock at 9:05
I know I'm late, but still alive
Everyone just stares at me
(I'm last in line for this party)
I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
Five o'clock rolls around

There's a new sun
Risin' up angry in the sky
And there's a new voice
Sayin' "we're not afraid to die"
Let the old world make believe
It's blind and deaf and dumb
But nothing can change the shape of things to come
There are changes
Lyin' ahead in every road
And there are new thoughts
Ready and waiting to explode
When tomorrow is today
The bells may toll for some
But nothing can change the shape of things to come
The future's comin' in, now
Sweet and strong
Ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long
There are new dreams
Crowdin' out old realities
There's revolution
Sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze
Let the old world make believe
It's blind and deaf and dumb
(But) nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
To come

Infatuation, she's a fatal attraction
Hang around, screw up my mind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time
(Dangers of drinking), but I don't want to die
Got to leave this cycle behind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time
And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away - ay, hay
Over my shoulder, I keep looking back
I feel a presence following me
So I know I'll never be free
And I can't wait 'til tomorrow

I can see it in your eyes
I can tell you think that I'm
Just some troubled soul who's lost
Out all alone
But I know each step I take
Brings me closer to the day
I'll be walking on them shining
Streets of gold
Cause I'm just passing through
Wearing worn out gloves and shoes
But it matters not just what a man has on
This old flesh and blood of mine
Is will on borrowed time
It's just a place to hang my hat
Til' I go home
Mister I don't know your name
But I thank you for your change
God bless you son
You must have Jesus in your life
A little help along the way
Never hurts too much these days
Even though I know in his hand
I'll be all right
Cause I'm just passing through
Wearing worn out gloves and shoes
But it matters not just what a man has on
This old flesh and blood of mine
Is will on borrowed time
It's just a place to hang my hat
Til' I go home
It's just a place to hang my hat
Til' I go home

High in a tree on the top of the hill
By the light of the lonesome ol? moon
I hear the call of a lone whippoorwill
Singing his mournful tune
Way off in the night blows the long freight train
With a roar and a ramble of wheels
My poor heart is breaking with every refrain
'Cause it sounds just like the way I feel
And it's high lonesome
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
High lonesome
Lil? darling I'm lonesome for you
Do you ever get weary roamin' around?
Do you think of the sweet love we knew?
Do you ever get lonesome the way I am now?
Lil? darling I'm lonesome for you
And it's high lonesome
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
It?s a high lonesome
Lil? darling I'm lonesome for you
It's high lonesome
Lil? darling I'm lonesome for you
<@#Randy_Travis_Honky-Tonk_Moon.txt#@>
Dirt road in the twilight, woods so cool and dark.
Up ahead pale neon, somewhere a dog barks,
Honky tonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me
Breaking up the pool balls, chalking up the cues
Jukebox pumping softly, lazy summer blues
Honky tonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me
Through the blue smoky haze, all through the haze
Trouble seems to melt away,
My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul
There's no hurry, no worry, things are goin' my way
My arms around my baby, shufflin' on the floor
Cigarettes and saw-dust, squeaky old screen door.
Honky tonk moon, keeps shinin' on my baby and me.
Outside the dark is falling, stars are twinkling bright
That old hoot owl is calling, every-things all right
Honky tonk moon, keeps shinin' on my baby and me.
Honky tonk moon, keeps shinin' on my baby and me.

O Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds

Thy power throughout
The universe displayed.
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
"My God, how great Thou art!"
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art

It's not my nature to be patient
I jump every river I cross
Not one for following the sensible side
And I can't count the times I've been lost.
Well, you can't see where you're goin' in the pourin' rain
When you're runnin' into walls and feeling no pain
We've all done time with the devil and I've done mine
It took a while to get here but, I'm right on time.
I may still regret some moments
But it's just part of a right
I count myself among the fortunate ones
Who made it to the other side.
Well, you go what you go through to get where you are
Lucky for me I didn't go too far
I turned around before the end of the line
Took a while to get here but, I'm right on time.
Well, you can't see where you're goin' in the pourin' rain

<@#Randy_Travis_Running_Blind.txt#@>
At a quick shop somewhere west of Albuquerque
Got a tank of gas and a cold drink and a beef jerky
The cashier she gave me a smile
So I stood there and I talk to her a while
She said where you headed I hope you get there soon
I've seen em all day long from 4am till noon
Some are running from
Some are running too
Some are running blind
Lord
Which one are you
I said it don't appear to me to be so cut and dry
You don't know me from Adam
can it be so black and white
I said I got a plan you see I got it figured out
How can you be so sure my dear what I'm all about
She said Ive stood in this window for 27 years
I can tell your cash or credit
I can tell your brand of beer
I can tell you who's a liar
And the truth is plain to see
That's your last twenty boy
and don't you lie to me
Theirs a girl
In Albuquerque crying (ain't she)
And your standing in a quick shop
Lying (Ain't ya)
Well
She handed back my twenty
Said you know what to do
If you drive it steady son
You'll be home this afternoon
And I hate to judge you
I don't mean to seem unkind
But there ain't no use in running
If you're only running blind
Oh their ain't no use in running
If you're only running blind
<@#Randy_Travis_Send_My_Body.txt#@>
The judge found me guilty of wrong doing
And sentaced me to hang in mid-July
He said to me "Your lifes a ruin"
"If I was you I'd breake right down a cry"
Well, Nobody seems to care I ain't guilty
I never did the things they said I've done
But I guess they have to hang somebody
And It's looking like I'm gonna be the one
So send my body home on a freight trian
Don't worry none if I don't go 1st class
Send my body home of a fright train
So everyone can see me when I pass
Don't worry none about no fancy funeral
Cause it don't matter how they lay me down
Just see they bury me out by Mama's Apple Tree
And send my body back to my home town
My Mama was a damm ahrd working woman
And she tried to raise he kids without a fault
The last thing sh said, she was on her dying bed was "Son, on't get in trouble
with the law"
When the time comes to meet my maker
I'm gonna try my very best
To take it like a man
When they ask if I have one request
I'll just say "send my body home on a freight trian
Don't worry none if I don't go 1st class
Send my body home of a fright train
So everyone can see me when I pass"
"Don't worry none about no fancy funeral
Cause it don't matter how they lay me down
Just see they bury me out by Mama's Apple Tree
And send my body back to my home town"
<@#Randy_Travis_Shopping_For_Dresses.txt#@>
Down through the ages men have died for women
And done so for many times
Each time I loved one, I've always lost one
Seems the right one is so hard to find
[Chorus:]
Shopping for dresses with no one to wear them
One in each color, one in each style
I'll find a lady someday to wear them
My shopping will be done for awhile
I'll bet somewhere's a lady shopping for britches
Comparing the value, appraising each pair
Maybe someday the Lord will bring us together
And we ll both have a new wardrobe to wear
Shopping for dresses with no one to wear them
One in each color and one in each style
Maybe someday if I'm lucky
I'll find someone to wear them
And my shopping will be done for awhile
My shopping will be done for awhile
I'm looking for a lady who'll look good in dresses
She must be red-headed, green eyes and be fair
I'll make exceptions to all my requirements
As long as she s willing to care
[Chorus:]
I just saw a beauty with blue eyes, what a cutie
Bond hair like a halo around her did flow
But the brunette beside her would be just as lovely
In the dresses I bought long ago
[Chorus:]
Now as I sit here dreaming, planning and scheming
Why should I make standards when everyone knows
As your need ranges, women make changes
And you must accept them or just let them go
[Chorus:]
<@#Randy_Travis_Take_Another_Swing_At_Me.txt#@>
I know I sent you packin'
But now I want you back again
Livin' without you ain't no livin' at all
How I miss your naggin'
And your tongue a-waggin'
And the crash of the coffee cup up against the bedroom wall
In the kitchen early in the mornin'
Midnight walkin' the floor
Without your cryin', cussin' and your moanin'
Home ain't home anymore
So come on, honey
Come home and spend my money
Come back, mama, and take another swing at me
I told my friends how I sent you runnin'
Cause you didn't do me right
But if I looked up and saw you comin'
You could do me wrong all night
So come on, honey
Come home and spend my money
Come back, mama, and take another swing at me
<@#Randy_Travis_The_Christmas_Song.txt#@>
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you!

A tall drink of water in a cotton dress
That preacher's daughter, she sure is blessed
As sunlight passes through the fabric so soft
You can imagine what goes through my thoughts
She says they'll be a time for all of that
When my dress is white and your suit is black
[Chorus]
There's so many fish in the sea
And I know it's a great big world
But I couldn't help but fall in love so hard
For my dry county girl
For my dry county girl, yeah
It's widely known that I have my flaws
While she's the Joan of Arkansas
Her lips won't touch the demon wine
But her eyes are full of pure moonshine
And I get drunk just holding her hand
I get high thinking I could be her man
[Chorus]
For my dry county girl
Lord, I fell so hard
For my dry county girl
For my dry county girl, yeah
Yeah, talking about my... [Fade]

You lift me up like a kite on a string
Like a bird on newfound wings
So high on you, I'm floating and
Flying around
Your love's like fallin' upside down
You've got me so lightheaded
It's a dizzy mood
Spinning uncontrollably
And gaining altitude
You lift me up like a kite on a string
Like a bird on newfound wings
So high on you, I'm floating and
Flying around
Your love's like fallin' upside down
Look at me
Used to be, I could keep my feet
On the ground
When you said you could take
Me higher
You weren't playing around
(You weren't playing around)
You lift me up like a kite on a string
Like a bird on newfound wings
So high on you, I'm floating and
Flying around

There's a place I've been lookin' for
That took me in and out of buildings
Behind windows, walls and doors
And I thought I found it
Couple times, even settled down
And I'd hang around just long enough
To find my way back out
I know now the place that I was trying to reach
Was you, right here in front of me
[Chorus]
And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here
It's amazing what I let my heart go through
To get me where it got me
In this moment here with you
And it passed me by
God knows how many times
I was so caught up in holding
What I never thought I'd find
I know now, there's a million roads
I had to take
To get me in your arms that way
[Chorus]
In a love I never thought I'd get to get to here
And if that's the road
God made me take to be with you
[Chorus]
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for all the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here

High class women in daisy duke denim
Bangin' on gongs and singing our songs
Dude named Elrock jammin' on an I-Pod
Beer and bonfires
Wide open throttle, Coors in a bottle
It's all for one and one for all, y'all
It's a brother and a sister kind of thing
Raise up your hands if you all wanna hang with

One good love
Erases all the bitter tears on an empty dance hall
All those lonely nights when she never called
It just don't seem so tragic after all
With one good love
One good love
And daddy's hands were strong and fair
And momma understands because she's been there
And all mistakes were just because they cared so much
With one good love
One good love
You bless all my memories
You soften the fall of my tears
And in my arms you're more than enough
You're one good love
Hey, you're one good love
Yeah, you're one good love
One good love
You bless all my memories
You soften the fall of my tears
And in my arms you're more than enough
You're one good love
One good love
And born again means more than pass the plate and bow your head
Yes, you bury what needs burying, you raise it from the dead
The very best, you heal the brokenness, give grace to everyone
With one good love
Yeah, oh, one good love
Hey, hey, one good love
Yeah, I'll give you one good love
Oooo, oooo, oooo, ooooo, oooo, yeah
Lord, I feel born again, yeah
You got to give me one good love now

Front of the line, straight past the bouncer
Lookin' so fine that the band announced ya'
Gotcha tight jeans on and your hair done right
All your girlfriends say we throwin' down tonight
Let me guess, somebody done you wrong
And you're lookin' for a way to get your feel-good on
Get some pictures on the Instagram and show him what he's missin'
Straight no chaser, girl on a mission
Mmm, baby, I could be your payback
Hey, gonna help you get your sway back
Take ya' to the dance floor I'm-a lean ya' way back
Yeah, I'm-a lean ya' way back
Gonna have a real good time
Don't worry 'bout your tab, girl, put it on mine
We can show him what he can't have
If you wanna play that game
Yeah, baby, I can be your payback
I bet he's sitting at home all alone in the dark
Probably texting like mad, wants to know where you are
'Cause he didn't even know what he had 'til he lost it
Should have known runnin' around was gonna cost him
No way that girl is as pretty as you
I never even seen her but I know that it's true
If he was even half a man he wouldn't have blown it
Thinkin' 'bout it that way feels good, don't it?
Mmm, baby, I could be your payback
Hey, gonna help you get your sway back
Take ya' to the dance floor I'm-a lean ya' way back
Yeah, I'm-a lean ya' way back

You're a single mom with three kids and just as many jobs
Your candle burns at both ends but you can't make it stop
Your a farmer on a John Deer honest work for little pay
Now throw that thing in park it's time to play
[Chorus]
Like it's midnight in Vegas
Mardi Gras in New Orleans
New Years Eve in New York City
You know what I mean
It's like lovers in Paris, Sunset Strip in L.A.
Doesn't matter where you are
Well it's alright it's alright to play
Oh yes it is
Where there ain't no drugs or doctors
Who can get you what you need
I've got the magic potion
And it doesn't cost a thing
Yeah you've seen some hard times
Life just works out that way
When your smack dab in the middle
You gotta play
[Chorus]
Hey hey
Like a kiss in the moonlight
Barefoot walks on the beach
Like sipping Champagne straight from a bottle
You know what I mean

(It's alright to play it's alright it's alright it's alright to play yeah it's

Come on come on come on

I'd be riding in a cab going downtown
Finding faces I know in a big crowd
Trying to drink the pain away, mmm
And I'd be staying out all night, never going home
Girl you know I'd lose all control
If I lost you
There would be a riot
Breaking up my heart, I'd try to fight it
I could go out every night but I'd be lyin
If I said I could live and breathe
Without you
There'd be a lot of lonely
Wishing and praying that you would hold me
I would do most anything baby
If only you would come back to me
Come back to me
There would be a riot
Oh yeah, oooh
I'd be checking on my phone every minute
Waiting round for it to start ringin
And praying it would be you
I don't know what I'd do
There would be a riot
Breaking up my heart, I'd try to fight it
I could go out every night but I'd be lyin

You looked a little cold to me so I gave you that
Army green jacket that was in my trunk
It didn't fit, you didn't care, a little chill was in
The air and you were just warming up
You smiled and we sang
I wanna thank the band, whoever they
Were for playing our song
And all the stars up there for getting in line
And shining down on
That boardwalk you and I strolled down
Light's dancing on the water from the merry-go-round
We made a lot of memories, ain't no doubt
But there's only one summer young
I stood behind you while you swayed and looked down
At your pretty face, thought "Man I'm fallin' hard for her"
Yeah, we get those memories now and then, the kind you pray
Will never end and that's exactly where we were
I smiled while you danced
I wanna thank the band, whoever they
Were for playing our song
And all the stars up there for getting in line
And shining down on
That boardwalk you and I strolled down
Light's dancing on the water from the merry-go-round
We made a lot of memories, ain't no doubt

Every time we hear it now (every time we hear it now)
It's gonna take us back

Hey Baby, Is that you?
Wow your hair got so long.
Yea, yea! I love it, I really do.
Norma Jean ain't that the song
We'd sing in the car
Drivin' down town,
Top down makin' the rounds,
Checkin' out the bands on Dull Hinney Avenue.
Yea life throws you curves,
But you learned to swerve.
Me I swung and I miss
And the next thing you know I'm reminiscing.
Dreaming old dreams,
Wishing old wishes,
Like we would be back again.
[Chorus]
I wake up and tear drops,
They fall down like rain.
I put on that old song we danced to and then,
I head off to my job,
Guess not much has changed.
Punch the clock.
Head for home.
Check the phone,
Just in case.
Go to bed,
Dream of you,
That's what I'm doing these days.
Yea that's what I'm doing.
Someone told me, after college,
You ran off to Vegas,
You married a rodeo cowboy...why
That ain't the girl I knew.
Me I've been a few places,
Mostly here and there once or twice.
Still sortin' out life, but I'm doing alright.
Yea, It's good to see you too.
Well hey girl, you're late.
And those planes they don't wait.
But if you ever come back around
This sleepy old town,
Promise me you'll stop in
To see an old friend,
And until then

I wake up and tear drops,
They fall down like rain.

Give Me Your Hand
Words and music by Ray Boltz
I was climbing up a mountain
Headed for the top
My feet started sliding
And I almost fell off
I landed on a rocky ledge
Suspended in the air
And I cried out in despair
I said, Is anybody out there?
Anybody there at all?
Then I saw Him reaching down
And I heard Him call,
chorus:
Give me your hand, I'll lift you up
Don't be afraid
You just have to trust
I have been there in the place you stand
There's no need to fear
That's why I'm here
Give me your hand
How can I repay you?
You truly saved my life
The Savior smiled
And He said, That's alright
Tomorrow when you're climbing
Look around you on the way
There are many others to be saved...
Crying, Is anybody out there?
Anybody there at all?
Reach out to them, remember me, and call,
chorus (repeat)
There's no need to fear
That's why I'm here
Give me your hand
There's no need to fear
That's why I'm here
Give me your hand

I Wouldn't Go Back
Words and Music by Lawrence Chewning
I wouldn't go back, I wouldn't go back
I wouldn't go back
To that life I used to live
I wouldn't go back
I'm never going back again
That's all behind me
So don't you remind me
It's all too vivid in my mind
I wouldn't go back
To that life I used to live
I chose to leave it all behind
Lead me on, lead me on
Whatever it takes
Oh Lord, lead me on
I wouldn't go back
To that life I used to live
Before the night I knelt
And asked God to forgive me
Oh, the pain I felt, the tears I shed,
The loneliness inside
I wouldn't go back
I wouldn't go back, not I
I still recall that night one Fall
How close I came to ending my life
Just before You came
Lying on my bed
The ceiling over my head kept screaming,
Who are you anyway?
What could I say?
Sitting in my living room
Tears streaming down my face
Life was such a waste 'til I met You
Jesus! I wouldn't go back
I wouldn't go back
Never again, never again
Never again, no
I wouldn't go back
To that life I used to live
I wouldn't go back, I wouldn't go back
I'll never go back
I'll never go back
I'm never going back again

Jesus Real Loud
Words and music by Ray Boltz
The doors opened up
And I got on the elevator
I saw the other people
Who were standing around
Everyone was silent
No one made a sound
And I thought,
What if I said Jesus real loud?
Hey!
Chorus:
What if I said Jesus real loud?
What if I just lifted up my voice
And did it now?
Would you think I was a prophet?
Would you still want me around?
What if I said Jesus real loud?
What if I said Jesus real loud?
What if I just lifted up my voice
Above the crowd?
Would you think I was a prophet?
Would you think I was a clown?
What if I said Jesus real loud?
The doors opened up
And I went in the dentist's office
They handed me a magazine
They told me to sit down
Everyone was waiting
No one made a sound
And I thought,
What if I said Jesus real loud?
Hey!
Chorus
It's ok sometimes to whisper
But hey, listen to me mister
The way we act can anybody tell?
Lift your voice a little higher
Smell the smoke and feel the fire
Ain't it time somebody
Started to yell?
Chorus
What if I said Jesus real loud?
What if I said Jesus real loud?

My Father's Song
Words and music by Ray Boltz
When I was just a little child
We'd climb in this old family car
And daddy would start to sing
Before we rode very far
I really don't remember
If his songs were quite on key
But that didn't matter to me
It was my Father's song
CHORUS:
And he sings a song of love
And a song of caring
You sing it with your heart
You sing it with your life
And it's a song of giving
Much more than you're asked
And knowing that
What you've done for Christ
Is all that's going to last
As I grew up I heard that song
Time and time again
A gentle word or a tender touch
And that song would begin
I can hear it in his laughter
And it moves me more and more
I can see it in his eyes
When he talks about the Lord
It's my Father's song
And if I were the greatest musician
Who ever walked upon a stage
If I could sing any song I liked
Any instrument I could play
I wouldn't need a piano
I wouldn't need a violin
I'd choose a heart filled with his love
And then I'd begin
To sing my Father's song
His song

Someone Stood Up For Stephen
Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
They grabbed a hold
Of the preacher boy
And drug him
To the edge of the town
With hate in their eyes
And rocks in their hands
They couldn't wait
To knock him down
They said,
He's just another believer
Getting ready to take a fall
There's no one here
Who can save him
There's nobody here he can call
chorus:
But someone stood up for Stephen
He wasn't standing alone
Someone stood up for Stephen
At the Father's throne
The sky opened up
And the clouds rolled away
Stephen saw Jesus and then
Someone stood up for Stephen
When Stephen stood up for Him
Stephen kept right on preaching
He just wouldn't back down
He was living for Jesus
No matter who was around
Oh, they just couldn't stop him
Now matter how they tried
Stephen knew that to live is Christ
And Christians never die
chorus
Don't you know
You can trust the Lord?
His Holy Word is true
If you stand up for Him
I know He'll stand up for you

The Ballad Of William Joe
Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
William Joe was the son of a farmer
Who lived out on the plains
William Joe never had too much
Just a horse and his name
Then one day
He said goodbye to his mama
Said, I've got to ride away
I've got to find out
What life is, papa
I'm leaving home today
Well, his mama ran and fetched him
A sack of apples
And she kissed him on the cheek
She said, Son, we don't have much
But these apples sure are sweet
And as the young man
Climbed upon his horse
Silhouetted against the sky
His papa nodded and his mama waved
And they both had tears in their eyes
As they watched him ride on
Ride on, ride on
William Joe rode for miles and miles
As he went from town to town
But each one seemed to be the same
And peace he never found
Well he'd seen the oceans
He's seen the mountains
And he'd seen the forests green
He'd seen cities and he's seen deserts
But he's never seen his dreams
Then his mind went back
To a sack of apples
He reached down in one day
And at the bottom of the sack of apples
His papa's Bible lay
And he could still remember the last words
His papa said to him
He said, Son, love will be here waiting
Till you come home again
You'll just ride on
Ride on, ride on, ride on
The evening sun was setting
As he knelt down in the dirt
And tears of repentance
Began erasing all the hurt
He closed his eyes
And bowed his head
And gave his heart to the Lord
He finally found the freedom
He'd been so long searching for
Now it's tim

Give me the red the white and the blue

You got to go out and spend some cash
And let the good times roll now,
I'm talkin' 'bout the good times,
Well it makes no difference whether you're young or old,
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
Hey y'all tell everybody! Ray Charles's in town,
I got a dollar and a quarter and I'm just ringing the clock,
But don't let no female, play me cheap,
I got fifty cents more than I'm gonna keep.
So let the good times roll now,
I tell y'all I'm gonna let the good times roll now,
Well it don't make no difference if you're young or old,
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
Hey no matter whether, rainy weather,
If you want to have a ball, you got to get yourself together,
Oh, get yourself under control, woah, and let the good times roll.

(I need someone to say I do)
No one to cry to now, no one to say goodnight
No one to tell my troubles to
I've got no one, to sigh to, no one to hold me
Tight
No one to cheer me when I'm blue
When I go home to my lonely room
And find there's no one there
And each night I think of you, so please answer this
One prayer
And you'll need someone, I said to cry to
Someone to say I do
Someone to whisper I love you
When I go home to my lonely room
And find there's no one there
And each night I think of you, so please answer this
One prayer
And you'll need someone, I said to cry to
Someone to say I do
Someone to whisper I love you

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye,
An' it looks like its climbin' clear up to the sky.
[Chorus: x2]
Oh what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day,
I've got a wonderful feeling,
Everything's going my way.
All the cattle are standing like statues,
All the cattel are standing like statues,
They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by.
But a little brown mav'rick is winking her eye.
[Chorus]
All the sounds of the earth are like music,
All the sounds of the earth are like music,
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree,
And an ol' Weepin' Willer is laughin' at me.
<@#Ray_Charles_Sentimental_Journey.txt#@>
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
I got my bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
I long to hear that: "All aboard!"
Seven, that's the time we leave - at seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track - that moves me back
I never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

The song a robin sings
Through years of endless springs
The murmur of a brook at evening tide
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide
That great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
My heart and I agree
She's everything on Earth to me
The murmur of a brook at evening tide
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide
That great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
My heart and I agree
She's everything on Earth to me
<@#Ray_Charles_That_Lucky_Old_Sun.txt#@>
Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
<@#Reba_Mcentire_Everything_But_My_Heart.txt#@>
The bed is cold and empty in the morning light
I'm searching for my pride through tangled covers
And loneliness is not a very pretty sight
When you first discover
That it's over
A hard one to lose
Love hurts
It's sad but true
He wanted my arms around him
Oh without a doubt
He wanted my warm red lips
Soft on his mouth
He loved all of me
Except for one small part
He wanted everything
Everything but my heart
Love is not an easy word for me right now
Too much has happened to my feelings
It's gonna be rough not having him around
Until time has done some healing
And it's over
And I'm over you
Love hurts
It's sad but true
He wanted my arms around him
Oh without a doubt
He wanted my warm red lips
Soft on his mouth
He loved all of me
Except for one small part
He wanted everything
Everything but my heart
<@#Reba_Mcentire_Face_To_Face.txt#@>
Oh you don't have blue eyes
I expected blue eyes
That's how I pictured you would be
And you don't have long hair
I thought that you'd have long hair
So this is all a shock to me
I didn't know if you would meet me or believe me
When I said that I was fooled
I really thought that I would hate you
I know I meant to
There'd only be one of us left when we're through
Now that we're face to face
And I put myself in your place
I see the truth I see who's really to blame
And I won't play his game or try to get even
He'll know he's lost watching us leaving
I blamed you, but I see my mistakes
Now that we're face to face
I believe in true love something to be sure of
Isn't that what we deserve?
There is no blame here, we both end up the same here
A little wiser than we were
There was a time this would have killed me
And it may still be hard to look you in the eye
And now that all the spells are broken
The truth's been spoken
My heart has the strength to tell him goodbye
And now that we're face to face
And I put myself in your place
I see the truth I see who's really to blame
And I won't play his game or try to get even
He'll know he's lost watching us leaving
I blamed you, but I see my mistakes
Now that we're face to face
I won't play his game or try to get even
He'll know he's lost watching us leaving
I blamed you, but I see my mistakes
Now that we're face to face
Now that we're face to face
<@#Reba_Mcentire_Five_Hundred_Miles_Away_From_Home.txt#@>
Tear drops fell on mama's note
When I read the things she wrote
She said, we miss you girl
We love you come on home
Well I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
It's hard to tell the state I'm in
Where I'm going, where I've been
But there's a dream I've been following so long
If mama knew the things I've done
She'd forgive them everyone
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Can't remember when I ate it's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Lord, I'm still five hundred miles away from home

Gonna love ya lordy me oh my

Take your time morning is far away
And the moon's leaning into the night

Well you look like the kind who's got an eye for a bargain
A kind of guy who likes to shop around
Well I got me this old heart
That I'm putting on the market
And I'll make you a deal you can't turn down
[Chorus]
Have I got a deal for you
A heart that's almost like brand new
And I'll let it go so cheap
You'll think you stole it 'fore you're through
Have I got a deal for you
Well you could search the whole world over
And never find another like it
It's got a built in lifetime guarantee
It's a one time only offer
And darling once you've tried it
You're gonna fall in love with it you'll see
[Chorus]
<@#Reba_Mcentire_He_Broke_Your_Memory_Last_Night.txt#@>
Like a rare piece of crystal
Like a fine china cup
I kept your memory all safely locked up
Afraid I could never love somebody new
I was trying to save what I had left of you
Then he broke your memory last night
I felt it shatter inside
I guess he held me a little too right
He broke your memory last night
The moment he touched me with his gentle hands
Your memory crumbled like a house built on sand
He swept all the pieces of your love away
And then gave me his love to put in it's place
Cause he broke your memory last night
I felt it shatter inside
I guess he held me a little too right
He broke your memory last night
He broke your memory last night
<@#Reba_Mcentire_I_Dont_Want_To_Be_Alone.txt#@>
My nerves are shot, the coffee's cold.
Wish that I could be so bold as to
Walk right up to you and say what I think.
I don't now what you think
Of me.
And I know everyone can see I'm crazy
About you and always will be.
Where's women's lib when you need it the most.
Or was it mama who said
You're not suppose to flaunt yourself like that
As if there's no in between.
Or maybe it's not that I'm afraid, it's just that the last move I made
Embarrassed me to death and made me want to hide.
So if you've ever been embarrassed before meet me half way
And I'll know for sure.
At least
We'll still be friends if I mess up again.
Cause it ain't easy meeting
Someone new.
Especially when that someone is you.
It ain't easy by being by yourself.
It's no fun to be alone,
And I don't want to be alone.
Cause it ain't easy meeting someone new.
Especially when that someone is
You.
It ain't easy by being by yourself.
It's no fun to be alone,
And I don't want to be alone.
My nerves are shot, the coffee's cold.
Wish that I could be so bold as to walk
Right up to you and say what I think.
<@#Reba_Mcentire_I_Wish_That_I_Could_Tell_You.txt#@>
How do you tell someone you're letting go?
I wish that I could tell you
But you're askin' me things that I don't know
I wish that I could tell you
Words that I would say
Sound as empty as the way you feel inside
While the silence in between
Tells me everything that you deny
I don't know how to help you
I wish that I could tell you
How to tell me goodbye
I don't know how you leave it all behind
I wish that I could tell you
Is it true a heart heals itself with time
I wish that I could tell you
How do you choose?
Do you hurt 'em with the truth or with a lie?
Where do you go to find the courage
You know I could never find?
I don't know how to help you
I wish that I could tell you
How to tell me goodbye
Where do you turn, where do you go?
When you've finally reached the end of the road?
How do you say it, I just don't know
When it comes to leaving you're on your own
How do you tell someone you're letting go?
I wish that I could tell you
Oh, wish that I could tell you
<@#Reba_Mcentire_Ill_Believe_It_When_I_Feel_It.txt#@>
Now when you left everybody told me
That I'd find another to take the place of you
And they all said someone else would hold me
And I'd have a lover to love like I loved you
[Chorus]
I'll believe it when I feel it
When somebody makes me feel the way you did
They say he's out there
They tell me someday I'll forget
I'll believe it when I feel it
But I haven't felt it yet
I've heard in time
Time is going to heal me
It's been forever
And I still need you now
Maybe I will someday find that feeling
We had together
Oh but I've got my doubts
[Chorus]
I'll believe it when I felt
But I haven't felt it yet
<@#Reba_Mcentire_Im_Gonna_Take_That_Mountain.txt#@>
I was born a stubborn soul
Ain't afraid of the great unknown
Or a winding road that's all uphill
This is just a stumbling block
Intimidating wall of rock
If you think this broken heart will break my will
I'm gonna take that mountain
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
There ain't no way around it
Gonna leave it level with the ground
I ain't just gonna cross it, climb it, fight it
I'm gonna take that mountain
It's overwhelming looking up
Knowing it's the challenge of
Me against this heartache to survive
I may slip and I may fall
But even if I have to crawl
I'll break through to the healing side
I'm gonna take that mountain
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
There ain't no way around it
Gonna leave it level with the ground
I ain't just gonna cross it, climb it, fight it
I'm gonna take that mountain
<@#Reba_Mcentire_Is_It_Really_Love.txt#@>
They say that it's the same the whole world over
That love's the hardest thing to understand
I thought once in love my troubles would blow over
But it seems that's when the heartache just begins
And I remember when you first said that you love me
I tried not to let the words go to my head
The things you said you spoke so sincerely
Somewhere in between the lines of red
Is it really love
Is it really love
Or just my heart playing tricks on me
I fall so easily
Is my heart telling me
That I'm your fool
Or is it really love
This time love's got me feeling so uncertain
My heart's seen all the breaks that it can take
I can't tell you if this is just infatuation
Or another chance to learn from my mistakes
Is it really love
Is it really love
Or just my heart playing tricks on me
I fall so easily
Is my heart telling me
That I'm your fool
Or is it really love
I'm a little bit leary
Of the love 'em and leave 'em behind kind
I'm just a little bit weary
Cause other lovers like messing with my mind
Oh all the time
Is it really love
Is it really love
Or just my heart playing tricks on me
I fall so easily
Is my heart telling me
That I'm your fool
Or is it really love
Am I your fool
Or is it really love
<@#Reba_Mcentire_It_Always_Rains_On_Saturday.txt#@>
On Monday the sun will be shining
On Tuesday the weather was fine
Wednesday and Thursday went by
By Friday the clouds filled the sky
This morning I knew it would rain
The moment the telephone rang
I heard your voice and I knew
The sky turned a new shade of blue
[Chorus]
And it looks like rain
It always rains on Saturday
The dark clouds came
And the sunny days are gone away
This house feels so cold
It always feels like this when he goes away
There's really nothing new about the rain
It always rains on Saturday
I look into Billy's young smile
And watch him watch Big Bird a while
His daddy will be here by eight
Seems like the sky's turning grey
There's an overnight bag on the stairs
Beside a one eyed teddy bear
I hold Billy and try not to cry
And whisper kiss mommy goodbye
[Chorus]
(It always feels like this when Billy goes away)
<@#Reba_Mcentire_Ive_Still_Got_The_Love_We_Made.txt#@>
You know I can't find the letters you wrote to me in school.
And that shoebox full of photographs got lost in my last move.
I gave away that old twin bed where you and I first laid.
But after all this time, I've still got the love we made.
And that old beat up car we dated in, finally turned to rust.
And the first rose that you gave me, oh it finally turned to dust.
But all those tender nights we shared are never gonna fade.
Cause after all this time I've still got the love we made.
I've got every feeling we felt when touched.
Cause even though fell apart I kept a part of us.
I've held on to every time we held each other tight,
And promised that no matter
What we'd never say goodbye.
I don't have one souvenir
Of us I'd meant to save, but right here in my heart
I've still got the love we made.
Oh right here in my heart
I've still got the love we made.
<@#Reba_Mcentire_Love_By_Love.txt#@>
You found me down
Hurting bad from his memory
And I thought love and I were really through
But you reached out
And touched my heart so tenderly
You gave me life
Gave me hope
Made me blue
[Chorus]
Touch by touch
You're taking the hurt away
Smile by smile
A little more everyday
Heart to heart
You're helping me find a way
To what I once dreamed of
Kiss by kiss
You're making love sweet again
Step by Step
Back on my feet again
Thanks to you
Feeling complete again
Yes you filled me up
Love by love
We're lying here
Loving the feeling morning brings
His memory's fading more with every dawn
Cause like the sun
Your love's so warm and gentle thing
Drives my tears
Lights my way
Leaves me up
[Chorus: x2]

Another morning, another day in your life
Without someone there by you
You had a dream again last night
You wonder why the dream just won't come true
So what ya gonna do
Walk around with your head hung down
Maybe that's the reason you've never found
The one for you
So you've got to let your love shine through
Your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart, you'll find
Somebody wants to be a part of your life
And if you just believe
And say that's what you're gonna do
One day love will find it's way to you
Yes it will
One day love will find it's way to you
Another party, and all your friends are smiles
Oh you might meet someone new
And being close would be so nice
In this life the chances are so few
So what ya gonna do
Walk around with your head hung down
Maybe that's the reason you've never found
The one for you
So you've got to let your love shine through
Your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart, you'll find
Somebody wants to be a part of your life
And if you just believe
And say that's what you're gonna do
One day love will find it's way to you
Oh yes it will
One day love will find it's way to you
Don't you think you're the only one
Oh somewhere in the world
There's a lonely heart looking for someone
You've got to let your love shine through
Your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart, you'll find
Somebody wants to be a part of your life
Cause your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Somebody wants to be a part of your life

Verse 1
Mama stood on the front porch ringin' her hands
Watched the tail lights fadin' on his black tranzam
With her precious little baby taking off inside
Staring at him with stars in her eyes
She tried to tell her but the girl might as well have been deaf
She wasn't gonna listen to a word she said
Chorus
Don't go down Maggie Creek Road
With a boy lookin' like that
He'll tell ya thangs that you wanna hear
And they'll be no turnin' back
There's an oak tree down by the lake
In the shade where the wild flowers grow
What'll happen only heaven knows
So don't go down Maggie Creek Road
(at the end)........don't go down....... Maggie Creek Road)
Verse 2
Was a still black night as dark is cold
Nobody heard her when she said no
She kicked and screamed and got free somehow
Tore her dress on the door when he pushed her out
She walked 13 miles on the gravel road
With tears in her eyes 20 years ago
chorus
Verse 3
Somehow mama's always know
Cause they shoulda been home an hour ago
When she pulled up it was just going down
She turned her headlights off didn't make a sound
She heard her baby crying no but he wouldn't stop
Her heart went cold and her blood ran hot
With a pistol in her hand she opened his door
You don't wanna see mama go to war
chorus

I know you love me cause you told me so
But that ain't enough cause I want to be shown

Hey girl, it's me, just called to tell you hi
Call me when you get this
Haven't talked lately, so hard to find the time
Give the boys a big kiss
Tell them that I miss them
By the way, I miss you too
I was thinking just today
About how we used to play
Barbie dolls and makeup
Tea Parties, dress up
I remember how we'd fight
And make up and laugh all night
Wish we were kids again
My sister, my friend
Oh yeah before I forget I met someone
I think I really like him
I was just wondering if I'm jumping the gun
By going out on a limb
And invite him home for Christmas
To meet the family
Seems like just yesterday,
You brought home oh what's his name
He had been drinking, what were you thinking?
After dinner he passed out,
We can laugh about it now
'Cause we've learned a lot since then
My sister, my friend
Do you think you could come and
See me sometime soon? (see me sometime soon)
We could just hang out like we used to
It's late and I should go,
But I can't hang up the phone
Until I tell you what I don't tell you enough
Even though at times it seemed
We were more like enemies
I'd do it all again
My sister, my friend
Oh, my sister, my friend.

Tell the tale of my wants
Happy world that's falling down
Old man I might be going where you're bound
Chorus:
Old man river
I've come to talk again
Yes I know you're tired
Cause your journey never ends
Hes just like you
Hes moving all the time
And I think he's moving me out of his mind
I want to travel with you
In your deep and nimble soul
That's the only way to make it
Peaceful like before
We used to touch at midnight
But now I feel he's gone
Even though he's lying next to me I feel alone
Oh man it looks like I'm to travel alone
Repeat chorus x2
<@#Reba_Mcentire_On_My_Own.txt#@>
So many times I said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Somethin' in my heart always knew
I'd be lying there beside him
On my own, On my own, On my own
So many promises never should be spoken
Now you know what loving him costs
Now you're even talking divorce
And you weren't even married
On my own
Once again I'm
One more time by myself
No one said it would be easy
But it once was so easy
Well I believe in love now here I stand
You wonder why
I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again
So many times I know I could have told you
That losing him would cut like a knife
He walked out and there went your life
I don't want to live without him
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to end
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again
On my own
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone by myself
On my own
You've got to find out where you belong again
On my own
You've got to learn how to be strong again
On my own
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone by myself
You've got to find out where you belong again
Your heart is saying that it's time again
And I know that you're gonna shine again
<@#Reba_Mcentire_One_Last_Good_Hand.txt#@>
The stars are way out of reach, they all said
Those are crazy schemes that fill your fool head
But it was clear from the moment we met
We could prove them wrong
All my life I heard that same old story
Dare to dream and you'll just be sorry
I might have given up my shot at glory
But then you came along
[Chorus]
We're not expecting this to go down easy
We're not expecting any sweet dreams
Sure thing
But with a little luck
Could be we'll be
Winding up the way we planned
Heading for our promised land
Holding one last good hand
Something's calling us I know you hear it
Day by day I feel us growing near it
But once you find a kindred spirit
There's nothing you can do
Oh, baby I'm not saying we won't ever stumble
Some days will be rough and tumble
You and I know that life's a gamble
But I'll
Bet mine on you
[Chorus]

Show me a sign that I love you
Blow me your mind cause you always do
Remind me to tell you that I've come to
Believe in the beauty, the power of you
Woman dissolved into the sea
The body of water is calling me
The god of my daughter is always free
There's nothing to solve when you're solving me
Ooh ooh ooh, I'm in your company
Ooh ooh ooh, body that's calling me
Ooh ooh ooh, I'm in your company
Throw me a line I could use one
A special design because I'm your son
Two thousand below where I feel my love
The body of water where I come from
Ooh ooh ooh, I'm in your company
Ooh ooh ooh, body that's calling me
Ooh ooh ooh, I'm in your company
I'm dreaming, got a reason to steal
Fire from the other side out there
Formations flow like streams
I'm made with a life to spare
Get the jizz, Mr. Sism got a rhythm
Technology of a prayer
Scientist to the prism of faith
And hope so I am there
Baby I'm home, you can come here
The science of love is becoming clear
Invisible love with the color still
A meet to a place in the atmosphere
And I may believe

<@#Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers_Brandy.txt#@>
There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loved
He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
And though he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home
The sailors said "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my wife, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
As he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw it's ragin' glory
Now he had always told the truth, lord he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
She loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my wife, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

You don't even know my name

Well everybody's gone to the everybody shelf
Are you coming through, do you want me to, take your body
It would be so cool, to be cool with you, I said lordy lordy
I don't like blood into the chain
There aint a nelly man that stays up in my brain
A dirty sun will burn away

Are you coming through, do you want me to, take your body
It would be so cool, to be cool with you, I said lordy lordy

Somehow we'll make it

Pick a star in the open sky

And that is why I
Hop along to the cowboy beat
When I feel your fire
Jump up to meet

Somehow we'll make it

Something out there
Where love is your only friend and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better and

When love is the only end and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better

In a world that has run amok
I've got to set my sights
Just to get struck
I walk away from the rank and file
With a punched out mouth
And a pack of style
I say, she's the one she's the only one
Make me search myself
Until I'm alone, and
Tell me now in a telegram
Do the sea of stars
Make a diagram, and
Something out there
Where love is your only friend and

That will make you feel better and

When love is the only end and

Still I'm awfully glad I came
Resonating in the shape of things to come
Never waiting when I know there's only one
Messed it up but rest assured
No one ever thinks they're cured
Just a minute while I reinvent myself
Make it up and then I take it off the shelf

Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go

Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
The rising moon is on the shine
The blood of scorpios a nine
Like the fear that's in the eyes of every doe
Say it now cause John and Jane would like to know
Is it safe inside your head
Songs to serenade the dead
All along I said I know no enemies
Mix it up until there are no pedigrees
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go

Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight

Everyone wishing well we go
Enter the rolling tide
Over the ocean so wide

And I got something to say
I got a million more that'll take me away
All those people starvin' everyday
As far as I'm concerned, why that's okay
Well I'm a millionaire too, but not like you
As far as I'm concerned, I got a job to do
I've got to pave the way, I've got to save the day
I've got to make it better, I've got to say
You and I, we're millionaires,
But we're a million miles away from the saint who stares
Upon the millions who die, every day of the week
Just because they can't get enough to eat
While we the rich dine on all these feasts,
And everything's fine, yeah peaches and creme
But it just isn't something you've got to realize,
There's something wrong, we've got to open our eyes
When the world cries, we just can't hide,
E've got a job to do, we've got to save some lives
We're millionaires
Against hunger
Hey hey Mr. Millionaire
Twice as nice when you share
Hey hey Mr. Millionaire
A spiritual price do you care
Hey hey Mr. Millionaire
Nice and Wise when you share
Hey hey Mr. Millionaire
Pave the way, take the Grail
I'm a millionaire
And I got something to say
I got three or four yachts on the Chesapeake Bay
All those people starvin' everyday
As far as I'm concerned, why that's okay
Well I'm a millionaire too
All I know that is true is that I've got more cash than I can use
I want anything that I can have,
But I don't need nothin' and I never have
Each damn day my heart's set far,
But I'll be okay, 'cause I don't starve
Kids from the street the losing their emotion so damn snobby so out of touch
With two hungry people who die as they stare at the city at night,
You know it gives to share
So listen up, you millionaires,
Every woman, every man, help all you can
All races unite, and I will now concern to the type of problem that helps us
learn
We're millionaires

Get into this

Have kissed that bitch
So what if she's
Got big tits
She's the kinda girl
Who changes her mind really quick
She's the kinda girl who
Won't just let things sit
She came like a cat
Like a cat to cat nap
She came in my lap
With her womanly hips
When I first met her
I came unglued
I played the part of
A blue blooded fool
I'm through with your sewage
I'm through with your trash
I always knew that I'd
Get the last laugh
She's the kinda girl
Who changes her mind really quick
She's the kinda girl who
Won't just let things sit
Like two trains on one track
Bound for a crash
Two red white and blues we were
Destined to clash
I can't fix the future
I can't change the past
Like fly by night news

You and your wack attack
Jump back for chump love
You won't be back for cover
But no no no no
I'm no chump love sucker
No chump love sucker
No chump love sucker
I thought that your love
Was a matter of fact
But I lost my pride
When I realized that

And my baseball bat
Was all you were after

And a living disaster

We live in the city
We live in the jungle
It's time to be drinking
A thimble humble
Everything you ever see

Give it on in to the beauty of the mystery
One big mob in one big home
A broken home
I'd like to share some air with you
Some air with you
A morning forest full of truths
The green is blue
The head that's getting pregnant lives
To give and give
What was I thinking in my head
The color red
Breaking hearts instead of bread
Something I said
Checkmated by frustration
Need to be cut loose
A different kind of being lost
A sullen cost
Picaboo street
In Timbuktu
Do I need repeat
That a boy
Named Sue
Rockin'
To the beat
Of the kangaroo
Let me kiss your feet
And your
Forehead

I saw you at the police station and it breaks my heart to say
Your eyes had wandered off to something distant, cold and gray
I guess you didn't see it coming
Someone's gotten used to slumming
Dreaming of the golden years
I see you had to change careers
Far away, but we both know its somewhere
I saw you on the back page of some pre-press yesterday
The drift wood in your eyes said nothing short of love for pain
I know you from another picture
Of someone with the most convictions
We used to read the funny papers
Fooled around and pulled some capers
Not today, send a message to her
A message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed
I've got you ten times over, I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
Saw you on a TV station and it made me wanna pray
An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay
What happened to the funny paper?
Smiling was your money maker
Someone oughta situate her
Find a way to educate her
All the way, time to come and find you
But you can't hide from me girl, so never mind what I do
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head
I saw you in the church out there was no time to exchange
You were getting married and it felt so very strange
I guess I didn't see it coming
And now I guess it's me who's bumming
Dreaming of the golden years
You and I were mixing tears
Not today, not for me but someone
I never could get used to, so now I will refuse to
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head
I got my best foot forward and I'll chase you down 'til you're dead

Face in the sand Safe in your hand
You were always my favorite
Always my man All in a hand
We are the red hots and
We're loving up the love me nots
The flowers in your flower pots
Are dancing on the table tops
And now I see you in a beautiful
And different light
He's just a man and everything he does
Will be all right
Call out my name
Call and I came
Dusting off your savior
The life that you have narrated
You were my man
<@#Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers_She_Looks_To_Me.txt#@>
Looks to me like heaven sinned
No lullaby kid no five percent
Any way you want to cut that cake
She's a-dyin' from a life of abandonment
Lost in a valley without my horses
She needs somebody to hold
[Chorus]
It looked to me like heaven sent this for
Your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
Who's going to take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
It's a long walk down those tracks
It's a dirty walk in
It's a dirty walk back
Gonna learn no way too much
Shootin' dope in the back of a Cadillac jack
Slow down the road to my back forty
She needs somebody to hold
[Chorus]
Down in the south sea
Give me your mouthpiece
Resuscitation is the way I find these
I give you majors
You give me minors
Don't fade away
Like an ocean liner
Now
Lost in the valley without my horses
No one can tell me what my remorse is
God made this lady that stands before me
She needs somebody to hold
She shows the world up with a smile
And then she throws the fight
She looks to me
She looked to me alright
Down on the bathroom floor
She's searching for another light
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
It looked to me like heaven sent this for
Your roughest night
She looks to me
She looks to me alright
Who's going to take you home
And hold you when things aren't so bright
She looks to me
She looks to me

Step right up and listen please
You're gonna get it with the greatest of ease
Everybody gather round all aboard the underground
You've got to get in before you get out
And gettin' out is what it's gonna be about
If you find that you are blind
Open your bashful mind
Let my band step inside
And take you on a cosmic ride
With honest sounds I'll paint your brain
For in this song I do proclaim
That once aboard this moving train
I'll do my best to ease your pain
Slinky as my speech may be
On this trip you'll ride for free
This axis bold as love you see comes and goes so easily
Space is king or so I sing, subway to venus
Once aboard and feeling smooth
Like a liquid you will ooze
Into a state of mind that soothes
Aw be my quest inside my grove
Cause what I've got to give to you
Is gonna make you wiggle like a wiggley worm
Cause you deserve to wiggle and squirm
Life's too short to be in a hole
So bust into your funkiest stroll
Space is king or so I sing, subway to venus
Take your body shake it around
Do the dog on the ground
And if I can't make you dance
I guess I'll just have to make you piss your pants
Space is king or so I sing, subway to venus

Drivin' around I've got my baby and my top down
Mary-go-round I ride you for my love
Throwin' me down in the backseat underground
I'm on the mound I make it for my love
Who, you talking to, talk to me you
Sound of music
Makin' my way I brake another L.A. day
Time in the town I need it for my love
My Chevrolet rollin' to another play day
This is the sound I listen for my love
Who, you talking to, talk to me you
Sound of music
I love you swim through me
Good feelings come to me
Sought and I found a life of makin my blood sound
Do anything for the one I love
Something profound the face of God is in Sensurround
I'm on the mound I make it for my love
I love you swim through me
Good feelings come to me

Dark Ages never change

But I can't rest in war
The righteous and the wicked
War and peace

Killing your future blood

Exploding souls be gone

Driftin' on a mem'ry
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Than with you, ooh yeah
Lovin' you
Day will make a way for night
All we need is candelight
And a song, ooh yeah
Soft and slow
Well .... oohhh
Glad to be
Here along with the lover like no other
Sad to see
Anew horizon slowly comin' into view
I wanna be livin' for the love of you
All that I'm givin' is for the love of you
Is for the love of you
Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the morning comes
Feels good to me ...
My love, make
Smoother than, than a gentle breez
Flowing through my mind with ease
Soft as can be
When you're in love with me
Love to be
Ridingthe waves of your love
Enchanted with your touch
Seems to me we can sail together
In and out of misery
Oooohh
I wanna be livin' for the love of you
All that I'm givin', givin'
For the love of you
Is for the love of you
[RAP]
Aha
You're my lollipop
You're my lemondrop
You're my sweet pea
You're my queen bee
When i look into your eyes
Like a ray of sunshine
You're the kind of girl
I wanna sport
When I'm on a roller ride
I'ts love I'm livin'
All for you
The first girl in my life
That I'll always be true
Some get jealous
Of what we got
But there's no way to stop
All the feelings we got
Just the little things
That made me gig with you
The way you look in my eyes
The way you find the time
The way you touch my hand
When I'm not in demand
The way you make me feel fine
When I'm cryin' at night
Paradise within my mind
So i huff and I puff
But you know I ain't trippin'
I told you before that I'll only be livin'
For the love of you, my boo
I wanna be livin'
For the love
For the love of you girl
All that I'm givin'
Is for the love of you
That's why everything I do
I do for you
Might as well
Sign my name on a card
That could say it better
Time will tell
Cause it seems that
I've done just about
All that I can do
I wanna be livin' for the love of you
All that I'm givin' is for the love of you
Is for the love of you
You ... you ... you ...
Givin' ...
Oooh ooh ooh ooh
Driftin' on a mem'ry
I wanna livin for your love

Do you belong to me all the way
I never thought I'd have to ask someday
I don't really know what you mean to say
I'm so afraid to just let go
Though I'd believe if you let me know
No matter how much you mean to me
I couldn't just take that risk with you right now
But whatever I do, can't resist your love
It's all up to you
Before we can start something new
Refrain:
(Know it)
I wanna give it a chance
First I must know you love me
(Know it)
I've got to see you again
(Know it)
Oh, how I wish you were sure
'Cause I wanna start believing
Know what you're feeling
So I can let go
No matter how much you mean to me
I couldn't just take that risk with you right now
Stayin' away gets harder and harder
As I go on alone
The more I want you here with me

<@#Regine_Velasquez_Love_Always_Find_A_Way.txt#@>
We've said it all
A thousand times before
Been to the wall
And always found somewhere to turn
There was always room to learn
We've reached the end
And almost closed the door
And someone went in
I never can remember who
All I know is that
We found the strength to make it through
Chorus:
Love always finds a way
When the clouds have no silver lining
He comes through shining
Love always sees the light
Through the darkest night
In a small way
Love always finds a way
Holding you near
After the storm has passed
It becomes clear
When all our tears have finally dried
That no matter how
We fools may try to turn the tide
Repeat chorus
And when those moments
When the magic seems to fade
We must remember then
That's the time to keep on believing
And not be afraid
If we both trust
In what we really feel
The two of us
Can hold tomorrow in our hands
All it takes is just
The faith to truly understand
Repeat chorus
<@#Regine_Velasquez_Tell_Me.txt#@>
There are nights
When I can't help but cry
And I wonder why you have to leave me
Why did it have to end so soon
When you said that you would never leave me
Chorus
Tell me where did I go wrong?
What did I do to make you change your mind completely
When I thought
This love would never end
But if this love's not ours to have
I'll let it go
With your goodbye
Why did it have to end so soon
When you said that you would never leave me
Tell me where did I go wrong?
What did I do to make you change your mind completely?
When I thought
This love would never end
But if this love's not ours to have
I'll let it go with your goodbye...

You're so shy, but I know you want me
Your desire will not be denied.

We will be together, we will be together again.
Wanna be in love with you, I want to be loved by you

Wanna be in love with you, I want to be loved by you

Don't you know I love the way you hold me
I feel so safe in your arms
It means so much the way you hold my hand
All a part of your charm.
We will be together, our love has just begun
We will stay together, we will be together again.
Wanna be in love with you, I want to be loved by you

Wanna be in love with you, I want to be loved by you

With noble light he shineth
As shines a mirror clear
This little babe so dear.
The babe within the cradle
Is Jesus Christ our Lord
To us all peace and amity
At this good time afford
Thou Jesus Christ our Lord!
Whoso would rock the cradle
Where lies the gentle child
A lowly heart must lead him
By passions undefiled
As Mary pure and mild.
O Jesus, babe beloved
O Jesus, babe divine
How mighty is thy wondrous love
Fill thou this heart of mine
With that great love of thine!

Each day I'll do a golden deed
By helping those who are in need
My life on earth is but a span
And so I'll do the best I can.
Refrain:
Life's evening sun is sinking low
A few more days, and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done
Where there will be no setting sun.
To be a child of God each day
My light must shine along the way
I'll sing His praise while ages roll
And strive to help some troubled soul.
The only life that will endure
Is one that's kind and good and pure
And so for God I'll take my stand
Each day I'll lend a helping hand.
I'll help someone in time of need
And journey on with rapid speed
I'll help the sick and poor and weak
And words of kindness to them speak.
While going down life's weary road
I'll try to lift some trav'ler's load
I'll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way.

Sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise

Jesus Christ, the King of glory now is risen from the dead.
Now the iron bars are broken, Christ from death to life is born
Glorious life and life immortal on this holy Easter morn
Christ has triumphed and we conquer by his mighty enterprise
We with him to life eternal by his resurrection rise.
Christ is risen, Christ, the first fruits of the holy harvest field
Which will in all it's full abundance at his second coming yield
Then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before him wave
Ripened by his glorious sunshine from the furrows of the grave.
Christ is risen, we are risen, she'd upon us heavenly grace
Rain and dew and gleams of glory from the brightness of thy face
That we with our hearts in heaven here on earth may fruitful be
And by angel hands be gathered and be ever, Lord, with thee.
Alleluia, alleluia, glory be to God on high
Alleluia! to the Savior who has gained the victory
Alleluia! to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity

Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moonlight
And fair the twinkling starry host

None can be nearer, fairer or dearer

<@#Religious_Music_Lost_In_The_Stars.txt#@>
Before Lord God made the sea and the land,
He held all the stars in the palm of His hand,
And they ran through His fingers like grains of sand,
And one little star fell alone.
Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air,
For the little dark star on the wind down there,
And He stated and promised He'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost again.
Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim,
And the clouds blow over and darken him,
So long as the Lord God's watching over them,
Keeping track how it all goes on.
But I've been walking through the night and the day,
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray,
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away,
Forgetting the promise that we heard Him say.
And we're lost out here in the stars,
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night,
And we're lost out here in the stars,
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night.
And we're lost out here in the stars.

Oh where are you now?
Pussy willow that smiled on my sleeve
When I was alone, you promised a stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground,
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please...please lift a hand, I'm only a person
Whose armbands beat on his hands hang tall
Won't you miss me? Why don't you miss me at all?
My head touched the ground, I was half the way down
Strumming the sand
Please lift a hand, I'm only a person
With Eskimo chain, you tattered my brain all the way
Won't you miss me? Why don't you miss me at all?

Across the seat
And jumped out the passenger side.
The only thing worth looking for

But that had not yet appeared.
Lost, invisible, here.

Before I learned to see

There is a calm I haven't come to yet
I spent half my life figuring what comes next
I telescoped in.
I'll finally win,
I'll finally win the prize.

A comic's perfect timing squeezed.
I'm headfirst fighting everything
The crushing force of memory
Erasing all I've been
The vanishing point appears
I looked for you and everywhere.
I looked for you and everywhere.
Tell me why you're here
I came to disappear.
Look at this face.
Can you believe it?
Am I living in a beautiful vacuum?
Because I can't see it

We flew into town on Sunday, had to find a place by Monday
Tried Bridgeport and Westport, 'til we found a place that we thought would do
157 Riverside Avenue.
Saugatuck River's flowin', Mother nature's colors were showin'
So cold, so rainy, we couldn't help feelin' blue
Not enough time, too many things to do.
We met a young girl on Main street, wanted to just pass her by
She was homely, so lonely, She said, "Can I make love to you."
We shouted 157 Riverside Avenue.
It's over, Miss Lena, we're leaving. Such a pleasant stay, I must say.
So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you
At 157 Riverside Avenue.

A little Haitian doll, that looks a lot like you do
A little powdered poison in your tea
Electricity, invisible to see, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. E
A malfunction, who would notice, machines and things get hot
A permanent vacation can be bought
[Chorus]
Look out!
Accidents can happen, accidents can happen, accidents can happen to you
[Chorus]
Accidents can happen, accidents can happen, look out!
<@#Reo_Speedwagon_Cant_Get_You_Out_Of_My_Heart.txt#@>
[Chorus]
Can't get you out of my heart, can't get you out of my soul
When I get next to you, all I get is out of control
Can't get you out of my head, I've memorized every word you ever said
You've been here from the start, can't get you out of my heart
Sometimes I feel like breakin' up with you
I'm tired of bein' true, tired of bein' blue
Still you're the one I give my best love to
No other girl would do the things to me you do, and I
[Chorus]
Sometimes I think I might be better off free
No strings attached to me, yeah that's how it should be
But just about the time that I get goin'
You read me like a poem, you keep me comin' home, and I
[Chorus]
I look at you sometimes, I see the woman I love
But I can be so blind, the good times I sometimes lose sight of
[Chorus: x3]
<@#Reo_Speedwagon_Easy_Money.txt#@>
South of the border and busted,
Caught by a woman I trusted,
Now don't you call me a fool,
It could have happened to you,
It's just my luck,
It had to happen to me.
Sweet Carmelita betrayed me
She said, "Take me home, serenade me."
I figured a song could do me no wrong.
I didn't know how wrong I could be.
Easy money for just one run to Peru.
It'll be so easy. We'll have no trouble gettin' through.
Well I almost made it, except for that one border guard.
He opened up my guitar. Hello prison yard.
Goodbye easy money. Easy money.
The chiquita must have told 'em my story
'Cause when my eyes finally focused next morning
Carmelita had spoken 'bout guitars and some coke
And she laughed as they slapped me in chains.
I was thrown in cell with a killer.
A convict who coughed through the night.
While I laid awake with the chills and shakes,
Hoping for a file in a cake.
Easy money for just one run to Peru.
It'll be so easy. We'll have no trouble gettin' through.
Well I almost made it, except for that one border guard.
He opened up my guitar. Hello prison yard.
Just to make me mad he smashed my guitar.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
Easy money
<@#Reo_Speedwagon_Every_Now_And_Then.txt#@>
Every now and then when the lights are low
Every now and then when the wind does blow
Every now and then, I think of you
Every now and then when a girl walks by
And holds her head like you held yours high
Every now and then, I think of you
And once in awhile when the sun sets right
And the full moon glides like a diamond in the night
Every now and then, I think of you
And I remember you and I
In a soft golden light
Nothing like here and tonight
I won't hear about anyone's life but our own
And all that I have is hope
Baby you never know
Every now and then when a friend says, "Hi"
And asks about us I just want to die
Every now and then, I think of you
I want to say everything's just fine
But only a fool could believe that line
Still every now and then, I think of you
<@#Reo_Speedwagon_Golden_Country.txt#@>
Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand
Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today
Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah
Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn

<@#Reo_Speedwagon_Lay_Me_Down.txt#@>
I've played your game
And I've played it well.
I'll be another fool
To hang upon your wall.
I laid my heart out
Like an open book.
It's a simple thing and don't take much
To crack it open and bleed.
Lay me down.
Lay me down when you're through with me.
Lay me down.
Let me bleed when you're through with me.
Don't let me think you're wrong,
Just let me fall down.
I'll pick myself up again.
It's the kindest thing you can do for me,
So, woman, won't you lay me down.
I lied to myself.
Tried to believe in you.
But it's hard to rely on the ghost of someone you hardly even knew
You bring things out
Just to bring me down.
Then you twist them about and shove 'em in my face
Til my eyes can't see any good.
Yeah!

Live every moment

'Cus before you know it
Your precious time slips away
Live every moment
Love every day
'Cause if you don't
You might just throw your love away
I walked for seven miles this mornin'
Footprints in the sand
Washed away without a warnin'
When the water hit the land
But I will walk on until I can no longer stand
And I'll take you by the hand and we'll...
Live every moment
Love every day
'Cus before you know it
Your precious time slips away
There's water in the wind tonight
There's a chill in the air
It's coolin down my skin tonight
Soakin' through your hair
There's warmth enough within tonight for both of us to share
We can take it anywhere and we'll...
Live every moment
Love every day
'Cus if you don't
You might just throw your love away
Sometimes I wish we could take a trip far away
Leave all this trouble, heartache and pain for another day
I will search for that place
But till I find it all I can say is..

Oooh, sometimes I wish we could take a trip far away
Leave all this trouble, heartache and pain for another day

<@#Reo_Speedwagon_Love_To_Hate.txt#@>
Love is a positive vibration
With love you find the good in a bad situation
Everybody's gonna need a helping hand
It don't really matter where you stand
You're gonna need someone to lean on
Hate is a constant inflammation
A fire that's built on fear and frustration
One man's heaven is another man's hell
Every story has got two sides to tell
Don't let anybody pull you under
Some people just love to hate
They criticize when they can't relate
Some people don't love, they just love to hate
Some people can hardly wait
To tear down what you create
Cause some people don't love, they just love to hate
Somebody attacks without a reason
He's just trying to drag you down in the hole that he's in
Why are people so negative
I think that everybody ought to just live and let live
We could use a little understanding
Chorus
I guess some people been pushed around
Now they're trying to even it up by putting somebody else down
I believe that things can only get better
When everybody learns to live together
<@#Reo_Speedwagon_Ridin_The_Storm_Out.txt#@>
Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter.
My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow
Thinkin' about what I've been missin' in the city.
And I'm not missin' a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out.
My lady's beside me, she's there to guide me.
She says that alone we've finally found home.
The wind outside is frightening,
but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city.
It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give.
<@#Reo_Speedwagon_Rockn_Roll_Star.txt#@>
I was just a boy when the river ran dry
And I can still remember my mama cry
She said "Son leave as fast as you can
But don't waste your life in this rock 'n' roll band"
I saw the light and left as fast as I could
I knew deep down it was gonna do me good
So I threw my Fender in an old friend's car
I knew I'd come home a rock n'roll star
So we hit the road but the road hit back
We thought we'd take the world with a hit and run attack
Now I'm center stage but it feels bizarre
Despite new cars and caviar
An overnight success created by the press
But they'll eat you up if you show them any stress
So I lick my wounds and I hide my scars
The whole world thinks I'm a rock n' roll star
Rock 'n' roll star, rock 'n' roll star
That's what they call you
That's not what you are
Rock 'n' roll star, rock 'n' roll star
I still wanna be a rock 'n' roll star
So we got a break in our whirlwind tour
I called home said I'm comin' home for sure
I'm tired of hurry up, make the plane, jump in the car
I'm home on loan, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
<@#Reo_Speedwagon_Say_You_Love_Me_Or_Say_Goodnight.txt#@>
Here I come again
I don't really care to turn back
Trying to find you directions
But I seem to be losin' track
I believe we ought to make a run for it
Just to see how far we can go
I ain't just around for the fun of it
But until you try it, baby, you'll never know so
Say you love me or say goodnight
Say we've made up or on with the fight
Cause there's no love lying' in the eyes of the night so,
Say you love me or say goodnight
There's no use hangin' on a memory
No good livin' a lie
I got no use for mediocrity
You know tonight's the night
We either do it or die
<@#Reo_Speedwagon_Shakin_It_Loose.txt#@>
She looked at me with fire in her eyes.
Looks can't kill but she certainly tries,
and she tried as she might.
But I'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.
She said honey, "Forget me quick."
Another fool, another Hollywood trick.
Movin' on a red light.
But I'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.
I got to go there's someone on the phone.
Knock on my door, but there's nobody home
I turned out the light
And I'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.
Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight.
Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight.
I'm gonna make it.
Shakin' it loose tonight.
<@#Richard_Marx_Another_Heaven.txt#@>
He lived his life in isolation, a man without a name
Saddled with a reputation, from cheyonne he came
He moved down south when the money ran out
Turned to a life of crime
Things werent all that different then
Theyd kill you for a dime
Never showed no mercy, had a heart of stone
His hands were dirty, stained to the bone, he said
Chorus:
Turn back? it's too late!
All I can do is pray there's another heaven
Turn back? it's too late!
Sinners like me need another heaven
Turn back? it's too late!
Ive run out of time. . .
He lived at least a dozen lifetimes, luck was on his side
The only friend he ever had,
Was his trusty forty-five
His final words to my gran-daddy were
Son you must be brave
All that's left of what he was
Is in this texas grave
He could smell the danger
He knew the end was near
Thru the smoke and whiskey, one thing was clear
Chorus:
Turn back? it's too late!
All I can do is pray there's another heaven
Turn back? it's too late!
Sinners like me need another heaven
Turn back? it's too late!
All I can do is pray there's another heaven
Turn back? it's too late!
Ive run out of time. . .
Look me in the eyes, I wanna see it comin!
Never showed no mercy, had a heart of stone
His hands were dirty. stained to the bone
Chorus:
Turn back? it's too late!
All I can do is pray there's another heaven
Turn back? it's too late!
Sinners like me need another heaven
Turn back? it's too late!
All I can do is pray there's another heaven
Turn back? it's too late!
Sinners like me need another heaven, yeah, yeah!
Turn back? it's too late!
Ive run out of time. . .
Look me in the eyes, I wanna see it comin!
<@#Richard_Marx_Beautiful.txt#@>
Youve got to get up every morning
With a smile on your face
And show the world
All the love in your heart.
Then people gonna treat you better.
Youre gonna find, yes you will,
That youre beautiful as you feel.
Waiting at the station with the workday wind a blowin,
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers by.
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing,
And they don't see it showing. Why do i?
[Chorus:]
I have often asked myself
The reason for the sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullaby.
And if theres any answer,
Maybe love can end the madness.
Maybe not, oh, but we can only try.
[chorus out]
<@#Richard_Marx_Children_Of_The_Night.txt#@>
All that I know in my life, I have learned on the street
No magic carpet, no genie, no shoes on my feet
Will I wake up from this nightmare?
A fear that chills me to the bone
Though I may be one of many
I feel so all alone
[Chorus]
We are the children of the night
We won't go down without a fight
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
And thanks to what we learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night
Left by my father with only this scar on my face
Told by my mother that, "No, you were just a mistake."
I have tasted my own hunger
Sold my body to survive
Some have paid to scratch the surface
But they can't touch what's inside
[Chorus]
How I long for something better
Than this life I know too well
Lord, I know I'm bound for heaven
Cause I've done my time in hell
[Chorus]

Hungry Eyes
I've been meaning to tell you
I've got this feelin' that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You are mine tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I
I want to hold you so hear me out
I want to show you what love's all about
Darlin' tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you
And I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise
I need you to see
This love was meant to be
I've got hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you
And I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With those hungry eyes
Did I take you by surprise
With my hungry eyes
<@#Richard_Marx_Nothin_You_Can_Do_About_It.txt#@>
Have you heard the news?
I'm doing what I said I would
So now you say
Boy, I always knew you could
My wildest dreams
Murdered by reality
I gave you all I could give to you
But now I'm taking back what belongs to me
I read you like a drugstore book
How'd I ever think you were cool
You got no bait left on your hook
You're no friend and buddy, I'm no fool
[Chorus]
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
Ain't nothin' you can say
ain't' nothin' you can do about it
No one's gonna stand in my way
I've done my time
I've given up my pound of flesh
So why can't the man seem to understand
That I've already passed the test
You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my spirit give in
But I'm here to make a big, big sound
It's your turn to lose and it's my turn to win
[Chorus]
I know you can never go back
Once you turn and walk out that door
Got no time for worries like that
I'm not a kid anymore
You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my spirit give in
But I'm here to make a big, big sound
It's your turn to lose and my turn to win
[Chorus]
<@#Richard_Marx_Now_And_Forever.txt#@>
Whenever I'm weary from the battles that rage in my head
You make sense of madness when my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way but still you seem to understand
Now and forever I will be your man.
Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune that heaven has given to me
I'll try to show you each and every way I can
Now and forever I will be your man
Now I can rest my worries and always be sure
That I won't be alone anymore
If I'd only known you were there all the time
All this time
Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand
Now and forever I will be your man
Now and forever I will be your man
<@#Richard_Marx_Right_Here_Waiting.txt#@>
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you
<@#Richard_Marx_Shouldve_Known_Better.txt#@>
Another sleepless night I can't explain
Somebody said they heard me call your name
The radio won't let you leave my mind
I know it's over but I don't know why
[Chorus]
Should've known better
Than to fall in love with you
Now love is just a faded memory
Should've known better
Now I'm a prisoner to this pain
And my heart still aches for you
There was no risk that I wouldn't take
And not a promise that I didn't make
All I asked was that you just hold on
And now I'm wondering what I did wrong
[Chorus]
I gave you all of my body and soul
Never believing we might lose control
I took my hands off the wheel
I can't remember if the lies were true
It's been a million years since I touched you
I thought time might help me win this game
But being away from you is slowly driving me insane
[Chorus]
<@#Richard_Marx_So_Into_You.txt#@>
When you walked into the room,
There was voodoo in the vibes.
I was captured by your style,
But I could not catch your eyes.
Now I stand here helplessly,
Hoping you'll get into me
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever you get into me
Its gonna be good, don't you know
From your head to your toe
Gonna love you all over
Over and over
I am so into you
Me into you, you into me, me into you
I am so into you
I can't get to nothing else
I am so into you
I can't get to nothing else
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever you get into me
Cmon baby, drivin me crazy,
Im so into you
Love all the things you do.
<@#Richard_Marx_Streets_Of_Pain.txt#@>
She's still another party blonde
Who had had it all her way
Now just another hanger on
With a faded resume
He's gonna be a leading man
In the Gary Cooper mold
Now working at a pretzel stand
But it's him that's getting sold
Big dreamer gonna take the town
But she's running out of time
Still singing at a sleazy lounge
To a house of drooling swine
Self satisfied narcissist
With a body like a god
He's thinking that's all there is
But I don't want that job
Streets of pain
They don't hear the crying
Streets of pain
Never felt the tears
Streets of pain
They just keep on lying
Get it through your head
'Cause some things never change
Won't it finally be obvious
That there's very little chance
Can't they see it's a Greyhound bus
And not their handsome prince
Isn't anybody satisfied
With the average girl next door
Does she have to be glamourized
So the world will love her more
Streets of pain
Sinking like a rock in a river
Streets of pain
Never felt so cold
Streets of pain
Lower than a snake can slither
Not to mention all the
Stories never told
Pretty girl becomes a socialite
Standing in somebody elses light
Anything can happen late at night
In the morning she'll be out of sight
Made a million on a lucky streak
Threw it all away as foolishly
One of many comic tragedies
What else can there be
So you better get on the road
To the desolation station
And you better bring all you own
It's a permanent vacation
We're waiting here with open arms
But it isn't what it seems
Just looking for the boulevard
On the trail of broken dreams
Repeat both choruses
<@#Richard_Marx_The_Other_Side.txt#@>
Everyone, even those I love
Say that I must move on
It's time to pick the pieces up
What's done is done
What's gone is gone
And I, I know they mean me well
But I'm not buying what they sell
[Chorus]
I can see your face
In every shooting star
Can you feel my pain
From where you are?
I really want to know was it worth the ride?
And will you be waitin' on the other side?
The other side
I've been a soul adrift
Without you here to steady me
And I still listen for your voice
Through the anger and insanity
And I'm desperate for your help
Oh I look for it in myself
[Chorus]
And I, I'm desperate for your help
Oh I, I find it in myself
[Chorus]
The other side
<@#Richard_Marx_This_I_Promise_You.txt#@>

And all that surround you,

Keeping your faith when it's gone

Well, it's cold here in the quiet
Drowning in the silence
Of everythign I wish we used to be
So many chances wasted
And kisses left untasted
So much that still burns inside of me
I kept reaching out, only to be shut down
But now the truth is giving me away
I've been running, yeah, I've been running
But now I'm coming to my senses
I am humble by your splendor
Awash in sweet surrender
A thousand miles beyond the road to gone
Well, I'm tired of being lonely
And you're longing to show me
All that I've been missing much too long
And like a warm and tender wind,
I'm spellbound as I breathe you in
And I know that you can see
[Chorus:]
You and I could spend forever
Making up for time together
Pull me in and don't you fight it
You and I, yeah, we're both inside it
Make my broken heart reborn
Take me over like a raging storm
Say goodbye, time to surrender
Follow me to the edge of forever

You wear his ring like a cheap disguise
But I can see you got wandering eyes
Don't believe it's just the clothes that make the man
No one else can love you like I know I can
[Chorus]
I got what you want
Takes more than money to turn you on
I got what you need
c'mon baby take a chance on me
Somethin' 'bout your smile seems counterfeit
It ain't in you to be a hypocrite
So he's got a mansion, got lots of cash
You live like a queen but feel like trash
I can save you if you put your heart in mine
Baby, can't you see, we're two of the same kind, Yeah
[Chorus]
Baby, there ain't nothin' keeping chains on you
Don't you let your head make up your mind
I can't get you off my mind
I'm afraid I may go blind
Won't you let me take you for a ride, yeah

Well look at me, the guy who's got it all
Tryin' to read my own writing on the wall
Not happy 'til the sadness comes
To keep me company
Oh, but what becomes of fools who love like me
Who's gonna dry my tears
When I'm crying?
Who's gonna hold my hand
When I'm dying?
Who's gonna set me right when
Everything is wrong
Who's gonna love me
When you're gone?
Sure as winter goes and comes around again
I will be my own undoing in the end
I'll find the answers I've been searching for
In your goodbye kiss
Cause I don't deserve you and you don't deserve this
Who's gonna dry my tears
When I'm crying?
And who's gonna hold my hand
When I'm dying?
Who's gonna set me right when

Don't forget the setting sun
Shines on everyone,
And you'll never be alone.
You'd give everything you own,
Saddle blanket, rope, and coat,
To be sitting by your side
Right at Christmas time,
And you'll never be alone.
Riding life for months on end
Is sure to set you thinking too much.
Been so long i can't remember when
The last time i felt your touch.
Though you're aching to the bone,
She loves you more than you will know.
Tell the trail to go to hell.
Just sing a noel,
And you'll never be alone.
Whoa!
Yeah!
Riding life for months on end
Is sure to set you thinking too much.
It's been so long i can't remember when
The last time i felt your touch!
Though you're far away from home,
Where the cold and lonely roam,
Don't forget the setting sun
Shines on everyone,
And you'll never be alone.
I'll be sitting by your side,
Right at Christmas time,
And I'll never be alone!

Not so long ago my life was, oh, so easy
I did what I want, said what I want
I did what I want, said what I want
Not so long ago my life was, oh, so easy
I did what I want, said what I want
I did what I want, and then you came
Once in my life I found a joy like this
One special moment captured in a kiss
For the rest of my life I may never feel like this again, again
I don't know if I'm ready, I hope I'm strong enough
To be a man that someone can depend on
I don't know if I'm ready but I know I've got enough love
As the days go by I see that it's so easy
To do what I want, say what I want
Do what I want, say what I want
As the days go by, yeah, I feel that it's so easy
To do what I want, say what I want, do what I want
And only once in my life I may find a joy like this
One special moment captured by a kiss
For the rest of my life I may never feel like this again, again
I don't know if I'm ready, I hope I'm strong enough
To be a man that someone can depend on
I don't know if I'm ready but I know I've got enough love
I've got enough love, ooh yeah, I've got enough love, ooh
And only once in your life you may feel like this
One special moment captured in a kiss
For the rest of your life you may never feel like this again
I don't know if I'm ready, I hope I'm strong enough
To be a man that someone can depend on
I don't know if I'm ready but I know I've got enough love

There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do
To show you the love
That I got for you
There's nothing in this world
That could ever take your place
When I look into your eyes
I see a sweet face
I'll never set you free
Till you give your love to me
[Chorus:]
'Cause I love you (I'll never set, set you free)
And I need you (I'll never set, set you free)
Yes, I want you (I'll never set, set you free)
'Cause I love you (I'll never set, set you free)
Will you open up your heart
So love could make a start?
I know that if you do
Dreams will come true
I'll never set you free
Till you give your love to me
[Chorus]
I'll never set you free
Till you give your love to me
There's nothing you can do
To stop my love for you

<@#Rihanna_Crazy_Little_Thing_Called_Love.txt#@>
Ooh yeah
Yeah yea
When you stand so close to me
I'm feeling butterflies
Is this the way that it supposed to be
When I look into your eyes
All you have to do is say my name
Just a stutter more like butter
Since I met you boy my whole worlds changed
I can't hide this or deny this
[Chorus]
Boy you got me catching feelings
Got me thinking baby your the one
I didn't understand the reason
That my heart was beating like a drum
I didn't understand the meaning
Then you opened up my eyes to
A crazy little thing called love
(A crazy little thing called love)
A crazy little thing called love
Whoa ho yeah
My best friends tell me Rihanna
What's got into you
I say Rihanna I can't explain
These feelings I'm going through
Tell me girl it's not like you to fall this way
I try my best to wear a disguise
But it's written on my face
[Chorus]
Yeah
It's crazy It's amazing
It's the loving that you feeling
Put a tingle in your body every time you want a healing
Hey Rihanna
Baby girl for you missing the song yeah
So tell the DJ put the pon de replay
If you wanna
Come on my bajun baby
Let me take to Jamaica
And introduce you to the real thing
For the loving where you are
So baby your my number one my number two
So if its loving that you want
Baby you should make me your boo

Don't understand the meaning
This means crazy baby
I try my best not to show
But you know its so crazy baby

Throw on your break lights

Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise

You saw me on the television, setting fire to all the buildings
Yeah I guess you saw me stealing, but you've no idea what I've been needin'
Talk about when we were children, not the kind of kid that you believe in
You saw me on the television, saw me on the television
But that's just the half of it, yeah you saw the half of it
This is the life I live, and that's just the half of it
Saw me on the television, hanging out my dirty linen
You're entitled to your own opinion
Sit and shake your head at my decision
I guess the kind of songs that I've been singing
Make it seem as if I'm always winning
But you saw me on a television
Yeah you saw me on a television
But that's just the half of it
You saw the half of it
This is the life I live
And that's just the half of it
Oh you know me I'm the life of the party
Beautiful people surround me
Everybody falling in love
Oh you know me, everybody knows that I'm crazy
Sticks and stones they never break me
And I'm the type that don't give a fuck
And that's just the half of it
You saw the half of it
Yeah this is the life I live
And that's just the half of it
Yeah you saw the half of it
And this is the life I live
You saw the half of it
Only the half of it
Eh, oh, no
You saw me on the television

This whiskey got me feelin' pretty
So pardon if I'm impolite
I just really need your ass with me
I'm sorry 'bout the other night
And I know I could be more creative
And come up with poetic lines
But I'm turnt up off sizz' and "I love you"
Is the only thing that's in my mind
[Chorus]
You take me higher, higher than I've ever been, babe
Just come over, let's pour a drink, babe
I hope I ain't calling you too late, too late
You light my fire
Let's stay up late and smoke a J
I wanna go back to the old ways
But I'm drunk and still with a full ash tray
With a little bit too much to say

Another day, another reminder that your not here with me
I watch the snowflakes falling from the sky then I get lost in memories
The time we tried to build a snowman
The time we tried to count the stars
Its crazy how we didn't know then
That we'd ever be apart
I can hear the music playing
See the lights upon the tree
I can feel the joy in every soul
But for me it's incomplete
And I try my best to play the part, but no matter what I do
No, it just don't feel like Christmas without you, you
Another tear, another regret boy, that you're so far away
Can it be that it was only last year we shared that Christmas day
Remember when we took the sleigh ride
Remember singing by the fire
There's to much that's in the daylight
I keep reliving you and I
I can hear the music playing
See the lights upon the tree
I can feel the joy in every soul
But for me it's incomplete
And I try my best to play the part, but no matter what I do
No, it just don't feel like Christmas without you
Time we tried to build a snowman
The time we tried to count the stars
Its crazy how we didn't know then
That we'd ever be apart
I can hear the music playing
See the lights upon the tree
I can feel the joy in every soul
But for me it's incomplete
And I try my best to play the part, but no matter what I do,
It just don't feel like Christmas,
No it just don't feel like Christmas without you, ooh baby
See I tried but it just ain't right, right without you.
<@#Rihanna_Leaving_Tonight.txt#@>
You left me down, with not a chance to fall
My heart was on the line and I can't explain
To everyone that I, that I fell so in love with you
You left me waiting on the line
Waiting for you
That day was so difficult to cry myself to sleep
I knew that you would wait for me, but I was wrong
But I was wrong
Why, leaving me tonight
I pray it's only a while 'til she'll be back again
No, it's only in my head, it's everything you said
Tonight alone again, why
You came, the days grew dim for me
I knew we would be, but I thought we would see it out
For what we had was stronger than the things they knew
We knew
Why, leaving me tonight
I pray it's only a while 'til she'll be back again
No, it's only in my head, it's everything you said
Tonight alone again
Righteous, righteous
Leaving me tonight
Righteous, righteous
Don't leave me
No, don't go tonight
You'll see me walking away, I see you wanting to say
I pray that you would see me for me, don't walk away
And I will know that you are so true
To all that I am, finding you
And I want to get right, 'cause I don't walk around
And I want to see tonight, and I know your sound
It's like I've got to know, and I don't walk around
If I could only get right, this time I know I could
Why, leaving me tonight
I know it's only a while 'til she'll be back again
No, it's only in my head, it's everything you said
Tonight alone again, why
Righteous, righteous
Leaving me tonight
Righteous, righteous
Don't leave me tonight
Right, right, right
Righteous now, we pray

When the light shines down
And time goes slowly
When my mind's in the dust
Spoilt and dying
There's a pain in my hand
Inscribed to the sad and lonely
I've been so cold and alone thinkin' how long
Now if you had told me, she would come back
And if you had told me, the clock was gonna fall
If you had shown me, some affection
I would have believed you
Don't tell me the moon is blue
Cos tonight it's over, now the pain's in the dust
And you can't find your blue moon
It's over, ooh tonight it's over
And yeah you been bad
So why did I still want you to hold me?
My tears of broken glass thinkin' ho wlong
The blade was a sharp one
That cut me both ways and tore my world apart
Now I could have healed that wound so deep
But you wouldn't understand
Don't tell me the moon is blue,
Cos tonight it's over, now the pain's in the dust
And you can't find your blue moon
It's over, ooh tonight it's over
Don't you know that you hurt me so? You!
Don't tell me the moon is blue, cos tonight it's over
Now the pain's in the dust
And you can't find your blue moon
It's over, ooh tonight it's over

Oh baby oh, still a long way to go,
And hold on if you're losing your way, oh.
Oh baby oh, still a long way to go,
Hold on tighter if you're going my way, oh.
Someone take this gloom, and walk right on,
Take it some place that I don't go.
Try to push myself, it just holds me back,
The stronger I go.
I'm learning fast to fly away,
And I took the blues on and won
I turn around, I'll be smiling all the way to the sun, Hey.
Oh baby oh, still a long way to go,
And hold on if you're losing your way, oh.
Oh baby oh, still a long way to go,
Hold on tighter if you're going my way, oh.
Steady as you go, hold your hand in mine,
Don't stop if you're moving on.
Put your mind into a happy photograph,
Ain't no worry at all.
I'm getting stronger every day,
And it feels so good just to smile.
Oh feels just like I can take a thousand miles in my stride, hey.
Oh baby oh, still a long way to go,
And hold on if you're losing your way, oh.
Oh baby oh, still a long way to go,
Hold on tighter if you're going my way, oh.

But it's over now

Grab your clothes and get gone

Before the sprinklers come on
Talkin' 'bout "Girl, I love you you're the one"
This just looks like a re-run

What else is on?
And don't tell me you're sorry cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught

Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you
Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you
[Verse 1]
Lost in the rock and roll
Got lost in a promise
Of a love I never know
Shadows chase me far from home
I remember when my heart was filled with gold
And you know
I've been burned
I've been burned
I've been burned
You've seen me lose control
It's not worth
It's not worth
It's not worth
My soul
[Chorus]
Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you
[Verse 2]
Lost my faith and trust
You and I know
Gold don't turn to rust
I still swear that we can reign
Like the kings and queens of better yesterdays
And you know
I've been burned
I've been burned
I've been burned
You've seen me lose control
It's not worth
It's not worth
It's not worth
My soul
[Chorus]
Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you
[Bridge]
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna run to
When you get to the edge of the night
Its time you face the sky
[Chorus]
Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you
Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you
Then the left one will
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

So unplug the jukebox
And do us all a favour
That music's lost its taste
So try another flavour -

I know a place where heaven breathes
And it's through her window
Your baby girl's window
I know you're happy where you are
Singing to the moon talking to the stars
Through her window
Your baby girl's window
There's fingermarks around her soul
But your laughter fills the hole
Through her window
Your baby girl's window
Aaah I wish you would stay
Aaah to see what she made of herself
People say you were gone too soon
I see your face when flowers bloom
Through her window

I'm looking for the words to say
Something to take her pain away
Through her window
Aaah I wish you would stay
Aaah to see what she made of herself

On the road to Damascus
I met you and the task was thankless
We were carefree and classless
And then you changed
I'm nouveau rich
What can I do
You're legionnaires on a summer breeze
It's who you do
You had something to put to me now
I got something I'm gonna stick in you
I couldn't give a flying toss 'bout the relatives you lost
I think it's better that
Your bloodline stops from here
On in and
Whoops there I go again
With friends that I wanna rip apart
Limb by limb
Soak the skin with paraffin
Drop a row
Hit'n the limb
And Max let's see what happens
Hey now you're getting in my way now
You're a waste of time
You're a waste of time
You got under my radar
You said kicking shins in the clock end
Was just a phase so I paged ya
And you became my new best friend
For a while
I should have known you were a psychopath
It's who you do
I was lonely we were having a laugh
Should have known but worshipped a few
I couldn't give a flying toss 'bout the relatives you lost
I think it's better that
Your bloodline stops from here
On in and
Whoops there I go again
With friends that I'd like to tear apart
Limb by limb
Soak the skin with paraffin
Drop a row
Hit'n the limb
Oh Max let's see what happens
Hey now there's nothing left to say now
You're just a waste of time
<@#Robbie_Williams_Different.txt#@>
When I look you in the eyes,
Something deep inside me dies,
'Cause I know you won't get better, better, better
You'd rather be right done with love,
The only thing I understood
Nothing's ever good enough.
I stumble through the words as they're leaving me,
Tremble at the side of Your Majesty,
And I cut myself just to get them out.
This time I'll be different, I promise you,
This time I'll be special, you know I will,
Just don't leave with me in your eyes.
This time I'll be better, I want you to know,
This time I'll be special, oh God, make it so,
Just don't leave with me in your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
You took my youth, you took my health,
And if you're not here I find myself
You're supposed to make this better, better, better
No self-control and no reason why,
If I don't change, then we both die,
This is it for you and I.
Blisters at the end of my fingertips,
Praying to a god I don't think exist
Will you listen now?
Can you forgive me somehow?
This time I'll be different, I promise you,
This time I'll be special, you know I will,
Just don't leave with me in your eyes.
This time I'll be better, I want you to know,
This time I'll be special, oh God, make it so,
Just don't leave with me in your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Closer now to the end,
If love was the answer,
Then what was the question?
Closer now, let's pretend
We've never been out here before.
This time I'll be different, I promise you,
This time I'll be special, you know I will,
don't leave with me in your eyes.
This time I'll be better, I want you to know,
This time I'll be special, oh God, make it so,
Just don't leave with me in your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

You wake up in the middle of
The thunder of a scream
And you realise that it was yours
You don't know what to tell them
'Cause you don't know where you've been
And you've been late so many times before
It's only natural to feel like you're sinking
It's only human to be so unprepared
Don't worry baby
If you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through
Getting by
So you get a little restless
And you get a little wasted
It's just a little light entertainment
Embrace it
It might just save your life
You always say you're sorry
But you never know what for
And it's been happening more and more
Act your age and not your shoe size
And blah blah blah blah blah
That's your role model
Slammin' the door
So it's only natural to feel
The guilt of a nation
It's only human when your young
You're gonna cry
Don't worry baby
If you get a little high
It's just a phase to get you through
Getting by
So you get a little restless
And you get a little wasted
It's just a little light entertainment
Embrace it
It might just save your life
So where else can you go to
Cause no one's given you the book
About what to say and how to feel
And what you should and shouldn't have took
It's feelings that your fearing
That's why you step outside your mind
Don't look back
'Cause if you don't crack
You get to sing this lullaby
You get to sing this lullaby
<@#Robbie_Williams_How_Peculiar.txt#@>
I am all of the above babe
Johnny long strokes to the grave
Saving all the stamps and spend it on a kettle
Rub me rub me up right lovely
If you lick it, then lick it battery
Good and properly all night if you want
I haven't got a clue what to do with you
I need for you to love me so much
Jesus what am I gonna do with this crush
Just get the old fella and wack it up against her tush
How peculiar
Bend your long legs against the sofa
In the Dorchester you can get your All Bran
I'm not into hard sports
Oh I haven't got a clue what to do with you
Jesus all the things my head is going through
God what am I going to do with this crush
Just wack the old man out and get it up against your tush
How peculiar
Jesus what am I to do man
I am a depressed man
Not sure what I'm doing all of the day
How peculiar
I am all of the above man
I have what you want man
If you want me here I am
Come and get it baby
<@#Robbie_Williams_Its_Only_Us.txt#@>
And they want us to grow up
We don't want to get a job
We all need a decent rock
Where it's all kicking off
Baby it's alright baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright baby it's alright
It's only us
We just stopped for cheaper thrills
Since the price went up on pills
From Stoke-on-Trent to Beverley hills
We know it's all kicking off
Baby it's alright baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright baby it's alright
It's only us
It's only us
Baby it's alright baby it's alright
You don't need to call it off
Baby it's alright baby it's alright
It's only us

<@#Robbie_Williams_Killing_Me.txt#@>
I don't mind the abuse
It fills in time
When I'm not much use
But it's killing me, killing me slowly
They all say
I'm too restless
But words cut deep
When you're defenceless
And they're killing me, but killing me slowly
There was a time when we were fine
And I could tolerate you
I do believe that you should leave
'Cause I've grown to hate you
Should I be weak and turn my cheek
'Cause I'm scared to fall
But I just don't know you
And you don't know me at all
I've been told that love's a celebration
But I've lost faith through frustration
And it's killing me, but killing me slowly
You paint my picture black
The joke's on me
And I don't wanna laugh
Remember the good times
Won't you bring them back someday, somehow
I don't mind feeling blue
If I could smile just like you do
And it's killing me, killing me slowly
I can't go on alone
Pretending nothing's wrong
Maybe I just want to belong
Somewhere, somehow, somehow
<@#Robbie_Williams_King_Of_The_Bongo.txt#@>
King of the Bongo
(M. Chao)
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I started bangin' my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crown
Play my boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm bangin' in my boogie
I'm the "king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Hear me when I come
"King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Hear me when I come
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm the king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
I'm the king of the bongo, I'm the king of the bongo bong
"King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Hear me when I come
They say that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place for little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm the king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Bangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of bongo baby I'm the king of bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby, king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong...
Hear me when I come
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I started bangin' my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
"King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Hear me when I come
"King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Hear me when I come

And now the end is near
So I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exception
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fails, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, no not me
I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words he would reveal
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
<@#Robbie_Williams_She_Makes_Me_High.txt#@>
Ah, yeah, yeah
Oh, baby
She is calling
And you don't want to answer back
I'm falling
Trying to find my way back
Maybe I'll never know
Where I've been (What I've seen)
I hope she'll meet me in between
So I hope I get through this hurricane
And teach me how to smile again
She makes me high (She makes me high)
She makes me high (She makes me high)
She don't even try (She makes me high)
And I want to know why (Why, why, why)
Do, do, do, hey, yeah
Do, do, do
The world's calling
And it's falling at your feet
And you're sorry
Is it so hard to believe
There's an innocence surrounding you?
I see the way that people look at you
So hold my hand through this hurricane
And teach me how to smile again
She makes me high (She makes me high)
She don't even try (She makes me high)
She makes me high (She makes me high)
And I want to know why (Why, why, why)
She puts her turn out
She is good
She suits me like
I wish you would
She is honest now
She is true
She's the complete
Opposite of you (Cheers, applause)
She makes me high (She makes me high)
She makes me high (She makes me high)
She makes me high (She makes me high)
(Why) I want to know
She makes me high (She makes me high)
She makes me high (She makes me high)
And I want to know why
She makes me high

Another dawn, another day, another dollar to be made.
I got a pocket in my soul, where a little rock a little roll assimilate
And I don't care what you think you know
'Bout who I am and how it goes
I made it easy to be me so yeah, It's easy to be me
And it's why I say
(Chorus)
I know you can't stand me cause I make you so angry more and more each day
Hey hey hey
The way you don't love me kind of makes you look ugly and the words you say
Hey hey hey
Come up and see me, I kind of like the abuse
Hey hey hey
There's no room in my bed
But while you're here just bow your head and you can shine my shoes
Shine my shoes
Get outta my lane boy, you're not in my league
Some are born to thrive and some to underachieve
Here's something that'll make you sick
I'm as happy as a pig in Sh--
I've been amused, I've been about, I've been amazed, I've been betrayed
That's why I say
(Chorus)
I know you can't stand me cause I make you so angry more and more each day
Hey hey hey
The way you don't love me kind of makes you look ugly and the words you say
Hey hey hey
Come up and see me, oh oh oh, if you can take the abuse
Hey hey hey
There's no room in my bed
But while you're here just lend a hand and you can shine my shoes
Shine my shoes
Kneel down boy
(Chorus)
It's why you can't stand me, you make me so angry more and more each day
Hey hey hey
The way you don't love me kind of makes you look ugly every the words you say
Hey hey hey
Come up and see me, oh oh oh, I kind of like the abuse

My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like kiss but without the make up
And that's a good line to take it to
The bridge
And you know and you know
'Cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
My bed's full of takeaways and fantasies
Of easy lays
The pause button's broke on my video
And is this real 'cause I feel fake
Oprah Winfrey Ricki Lake
Teach me things I don't need to know
And you know and you know
'Cause my life's a mess
And it's starting to show so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
If I did it all again I'd be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
I'm still young we're still young
Life's too short to be afraid
Step inside the sun
And you know and you know
'Cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
And you know and you know
'Cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
And you know and you know
'Cause my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame
Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame

Blue gene baby
Skinny white sailor, the chances were slender
The beauties were brief
Shall I mourn you decline with some Thunderbird wine
And a black handkerchief?
I miss your sad Virginia whisper
I miss the voice that called my heart
Sweet gene Vincent
Young and old and gone
Sweet gene Vincent
Who, who, who slapped john?
White face, black shirt
White socks, black shoes
Black hair, white star
Bled white, died black
Sweet gene Vincent
Let the blue roll tonight
At the sock hop ball in the union hall
Where the bop is there delight
Here come duck-tailed Danny dragging Uncanny Annie
She's tehone with the flying feet
You can break the peace daddy sickle grease
The beat is reet complete
And you jump back honey in the dungarees
Tight sweater and a pony tail
Will you guess her age when she comes back stage?
The hoodlums bite their nails
Black gloves, white frost
Black crepe, white lead
White sheet, black knight
Jet black, dead white
Sweet gene Vincent
There's one in every town
And the devil drives 'till the hearse arrives
And you lay that pistol down
Sweet gene Vincent
There's nowhere left to hide
With lazy skin and ash-tray eyes
A perforated pride
So farewell mademoiselle, knicker-bocker hotel
Farewell to money owed
But when your leg still hurts and you need more shirts
You got to get back on the road
<@#Rod_Stewart_Baby,_Its_Cold_Outside.txt#@>
I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
well Maybe just one little kiss more - Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just one little kiss more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home - You'll freeze to the bone out there
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Brr its cold
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well I really shouldn't alright
Make it worth your while baby
Ahh, do that again

As the oldest game's gettin' underway
On the minds of a million people

So you climb on the carousel and then take a chance
The same old ritual, the same old dance
The hardest thing to resist is
Body wishes
If the fire down below's gettin' worse and worse
You're so close to shootin' that you want to burst
Somebody's sponge needs squeezin'

Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go?
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do I tell?
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
Won't solve the problem

Away in the distance a baby cries
But you know somebody's by her side
The night drags on forever

You can hear the tickin' of a lonely clock
The howlin' wind that just won't stop
Somebody's cherries need pickin'
Body wishes
What do I say?
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go?
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do I tell?
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
Won't solve the problem
It'll tear you apart like an angry sea
Keep you warm like a summer breeze
It's all we've got in a cold cold world
Is to love someone

Body wishes
Somethings happenin' in the air
It feels so close but you don't know where
The poorest people's riches

And the cheatin' hearts never learn
Someday somewhere's gonna be your turn
Don't start what you can't finish

Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go?

Who'll be the one?

Sitting on my back door wondering which way to go
The sun's shining on my back and it hurts (child)
The FM station plays another bad 45
And it's been so long since I had a good time
It's been so long since I had a good time
Never wrecked my head on a bandstand
in the trombone or clarinet line
When I come in heat on Bourbon Street for Mardi Gras
When those for a cryin' just stay behind in the bar
'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time
Yeah it's been so long since I had a good time
I'm gonna lose control of my powers
I might even lose my trousers
Smash some glass, act like trash if I want
Wear a skirt be a flirt if I want
'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time
This prodigal man from Dixieland needs a good time
right now, show me a good time right now
You better take it while you can
You gotta get it while you can
And when the Man Upstairs he calls me
He'll say "It's your turn son to come"
Don't play the blues down in old Toulouse for me
Let sleighbells ring and children sing in the street
And tell all of my friends that I had a good time
Open up the sky won't you ride me high
Let's have a good time
And if I'm late at heaven's gate blame a good time
And when the angels sing I will join in
Let's have a good time really
I took my luck, I didn't give a fuck, I had a good time
Tell all my friends only all my best to have a good time
Goodbye

With the girl I had for years
My life's going down the drain
The skies are crying
Everybody's lying
Oh God I'm depressed again

Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd

Looks like I'm paranoid again
Can't do nothing right
See only black and white
Oh God I'm depressed again

Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me
How can I plan ahead
With this hanging round my neck
Looks like I'm coming down again
Thought about it well
Analyzed myself
Yeah, I'm depressed again
Give me wings I'll fly away

What happened, where did they all go
Can you remember happy hours
Spent drinkin' and thinkin'
We thought we could change the world
And we never, never, never, never, never
Never thought we could get much older then
We were the ones who loved to love the right to love
We'd bring it on home with the right song
Played at the right time
What happened to the girl that you loved once and left
Young man did you break her heart
Did she live, and did she marry,
Did she ever think on your face again
Ah now hold on a minute
I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Ah yeah

But I find it hard to jog my memories
Don't worry Lou you may never get another chance yeah

But I find it hard to move my memories
Say it again with a lot more feelin'
And I think what you say is all so right
But I find it hard to find my memories
Don't sing so serious you make me feel so sad
But if I was true to myself
I would probably find it was a tear in my eye
That stopped me from believing you
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry don't worry
You know my tongue gets tired
When I think back on all of the things we do
But I wonder if I'll remember these few precious things
As years pass me by
Ah when young bodies that've grown older
And mind's become dimmer
I'll point the finger back in time
I said I wouldn't change a thing if I could
If I could, if I could live it all again, yeah
<@#Rod_Stewart_Im_Losing_You.txt#@>
Your love is fading, I can feel your love fading
Woman it's fading away from me
'Cause your personal touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I fooled myself as long as I can
Can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name, it's just not the same
Oh, honey I'm losing you
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Oh, I'm losing you
I can feel it in my bones, any day you'll be up and gone
Oh, I'm losing you
It's all over your face, someone's takin' my place
Could it be that I'm losing you?
When I look into your eyes a reflection of a face I see
Oh Lord I'm losing you
I'm hurt, downhearted and worried, girl
'Cause that face doesn't belong to me
Your love is fadin', can feel it fadin'
Oh, away from me
Can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Ooo, I'm losing you
I don't wanna lose you
But I know I'm gonna groove you
Oh Lord I'm losing you
Get out, woo
Ooo yeah, get down there
Get down there
I don't wanna lose you
But I know I gotta groove you
Oh Lord I'm losing you
And I'm losin' you
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'
Oh Lord I'm losing you
<@#Rod_Stewart_Lost_In_You.txt#@>
Hey! Baby, you've been on my mind tonight
I'm so low, I just had to sit down and write
I spent all yesterday tryin' to figure out what I'm gonna say
One letter from the heart is so hard to start, baby
How's your momma, how's the weather, how's that son of mine? yeah!
Hey! Baby, been a long time since we made love
I'm stone cold, the bed's hard, and the work gets tough
I'm never gonna leave you again
This job ain't worth the pain
No money in the world ain't worth bein' away from you
Ooh, baby I don't sleep without you by my side
Listen!
I'm in love with you, woman, it's a common known, natural fact
And I found what I'm lookin' for, but so much more than that
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
Hey! Baby, you don't know what you've done for me
I'm so happy as any man can deserve to be
I was livin' a life of sin
God knows what a mess I was in
Sure glad you found me, I ain't gettin' any younger
Hey! Baby, I just hope it ain't all a dream
I'm in love with you, woman, it's a common known, natural fact
And I found what I'm lookin' for, but so much more than that
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you)
I'm lost in you (I'm lost in you) hey!
I miss you, baby (I miss you too)
I miss your laughin' eyes
I miss our baby cryin'
I want to lay you out and kiss you all over
I'm comin' home real soon
Be ready,'cause when I do, I'm gonna make love to you like fifteen men!
I'm lost in you, and I love it
I'm lost in you, and I love it
<@#Rod_Stewart_Missed_You.txt#@>
Hey Pal, let me lean on you and talk awhile
Your planes been delayed by the rain
Or something
I wouldn't even fly away
If I had one good reason to stay
But you said
If you don't need my love
I'm gonna find someone who does
And I'm not hanging around
This old heart is far to proud
She got tired of me
Staying out late everynight
I'd fall up the stair
Thought she'd always be there
But suddenly I'm alone
And I'm not accustomed to sleeping alone
She said if you don't need my love
I'm gonna find someone who does
You've stripped me of everything
And you've torn down all my dreams
Its been two long weeks
Since she's been gone
Thought I had her in the palm of my hands
She said I'm through, don't try to call me
Cause you won't even find me
Cause if you don't need my love
I'm going to find someone who does
And the heartache you've give me
You'll get it back just wait and see
Well, well, well, well
I'd give anything to hold her in my bed again
I just want to feel her breath on my back
She said my blood can't give her love
No way
She said if you don't need my love
I'm gonna find someone who does
And I'm gonna take our child
Cause I don't want him running wild
Hey pal, I think they just called out your flight
Put down your glass don't forget your boarding pass
And if your looking or you found love
Or sunshine that's enough
Don't play hard to get
Cause that ain't where its at
Give her all your love
Place her high above
I missed you baby
I missed you baby
Yea I missed
<@#Rod_Stewart_My_Way_Of_Giving.txt#@>
I've been told it's just a matter of time
before you meet someone who opens your eyes
But time's on my side so nevertheless
I know the pain of too much happiness
[Chorus]
It's all part of my way of giving
and I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
and what more would you have me do
Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
and if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you honey, you must surely realize
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes
[Chorus]
Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
and if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you honey you must surely realize
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes
[Chorus]
<@#Rod_Stewart_Peach.txt#@>
Uh, oh, here she come
She got them gold hot pants on again
Yeah, man
I wanna talk, but I dunno
She's a Peach
She was dark, she was tan
She made me glad to be a man
She was young, she was smart
Just one glance and she stole my heart
The kinda girl you wanna teach
She's a Peach
Summertime, feelin' fine, getting wild
All that's on my mind
Here she come, dressed in red
Get her done, is all that's in my head
Her hot pants can't hide her cheeks
She's a Peach
She was pure, every ounce
I was sure when her titties bounced
Every way, she's a winner
Turn a gay preacher to a sinner
No one you want your mama meet
She's a Peach
This is a girl plays hard to get
I would die if I kissed her
I would try, but I'm last on her list
She's so cool and I'm so ugly
I'd be a fool to think she could love me
This kinda girl's always out of reach
She's a Peach
Peach
<@#Rolling_Stones_Almost_Hear_You_Sigh.txt#@>
I can almost hear you sigh
I can almost hear you cry
On every crowded street
All the places we would meet
What will I do without ya
They say that life goes on
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I can't believe you're gone
And you acted much too calm
You turned on all the charm
You had a cold look in your eyes
I can feel your tongue on mine
Silky smooth like wine
I'm living with these memories
That's all that's left of you and me
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you made sweet love to me
And you turned on all the charm
Acted much too calm
You had a cold look in your eyes
Did it mean nothing
Was it all in vain
Was I just your fool
Or was the pleasure pain
Have you set me free
Or will I wake up
In the morning
And find out it's been a bad dream
Come on, I beg you
I want to be your main man
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you make sweet love to me
Almost see your smile
It stretched half a mile
You had a stone cold look in your eyes

<@#Rolling_Stones_Before_They_Make_Me_Run.txt#@>
Worked the bars and sideshows along the twilight zone
Only a crowd can make you feel so alone
And it really hit home
Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine
Well here's another goodbye to another good friend
After all is said and done
Gotta move while it's still fun
Let me walk before they make me run
After all is said and done
I gotta move, it's still fun
I'm gonna walk before they make me run
Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drinking as I left town
Gonna find my way to heaven, 'cause I did my time in hell
I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well
After all is said and done
I gotta move I had my fun
Let us walk before they make me run
After all is said and done
I did alright, I had my fun
I will walk before they make me run
<@#Rolling_Stones_Connection.txt#@>
Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.
Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go.
Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.
My bags, they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em
They're dying to add me to their collection
And I don't know if they'll let me go.
Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.

Or am I wasting my time)
When I hear you singing
I know you're not far behind
Well I want somebody to tell me
Tell me what's wrong with me

<@#Rolling_Stones_Get_Off_Of_My_Cloud.txt#@>
I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor - of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up - like a Union Jack
And says, I've won five pounds if I have his - kind of detergent pack
[Chorus:]
I says, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby
The telephone is ringing
I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is there on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you?"
Well, I guess I'm doin' fine
He says, "It's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever want to go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good,
Do you have to drive me out of my head ?"
[Chorus]
I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired
And I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just - like a flag stuck on my window
screen
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
<@#Rolling_Stones_Gunface.txt#@>
Gonna go downtown
Gonna get my gun
Gonna dress real sharp
Gonna beat my drum
I ain't gonna lie
Gonna walk so slow
Gonna talk just right
And my diamond ring
Gonna shine so bright
I ain't gonna lie
I've got a debt to repay
I ain't gonna cry
I put a gun in your face
You'll pay with your life
And I got my ears
And I got my eyes
And I got my narks
And my alibis
I won't waste your time
You made one false move
You made one mistake
When the juice is squeezed
That's the way it breaks
You'll pay for your crime
Your tongue lickin' way out of place
I'll rip it out
I'll stick a gun in your face
You'll pay with your life
I taught her everything I taught her how to dream
I taught her everything
I'm gonna teach her how to scream
I taught her all she knows
I taught her how to lie
I taught her everything
I'm gonna teach her how to cry
And you cause me hurt
And you cause me pain
And you turned the tap
On my burning rage
And I can't put it out
Gonna leave no sign
Gonna leave no trace
Gonna leave this town
In a state of grace
Give me the power
I got a debt to repay
I ain't gonna lie
I put a gun in your face
You'll pay for the crime
I taught her everything
I taught her how to speak
I taught her all she knows
I taught her how to eat
I half invented her
And now she acts so chic
I taught her everything
But now she's obsolete
I taught her everything
How to read and write
I taught her all she knows
She was a neophyte
I taught her everything
I loved to watch her grow
I taught her everything
And now I want to see her go
I taught her everything
I got a debt to repay
I ain't gonna cry
I'll put a gun in your face
You're playing with your life
I taught her everything
I taught her how to cheat
I taught her all she knows
She was so indiscreet
I taught her everything
I taught her how to lie
I taught her everything
I'm gonna teach her how to cry

It always burned a hole in my pants.
Never made a school mama happy,
Never blew a second chance, oh no
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Always took candy from strangers,
Didn't wanna get me no trade.
Never want to be like papa,
Working for the boss ev'ry night and day.
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love, baby won't ya keep me happy.
Baby, won't ya keep me happy.
Baby, please keep me
I need a love to keep me happy,

Never got a flash out of cocktails,
When I got some flesh off the bone.
Never got a lift out of Lear jets,
When I can fly way back home.
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.

The have-nots would have tried to freeze you in ice
Have you seen your brother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow?
Well I was just passing the time
I'm all alone, won't you give all your sympathy to mine?
Tell me a story about how you adore me
Live through the shadow, see through the shadow,
Live through the shadow, tear at the shadow
Hate in the shadow, love in the shadow life
Have you seen your lover, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have they had another baby, standing in the shadow?
Where have you been all your life?
Talking about all the people who would try anything twice
Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Has she had another baby, standing in the shadow?
You take your choice at this time
The brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline

A word from the wise
Grab opportunity

'Cause if you follow the crowd
'Cause if you act like a coward

Hold back
You'll regret it someday
Choke on that
Don't let it pass you by
Hold back
You better seize the hour
You look in your history books
You delve in the past
Stalin and Roosevelt
Both took their chances
And George grasped the nettle
It's do or dare
From the banks of the Delaware
Yeah don't hold back
Trust your gut reaction
Be bold, be bold baby
If you don't take chances
You won't make advances
Hold back yeah
Don't matter if you ain't so good looking
If you ain't sharp as a blade
Don't be afraid
Don't hold back
Life is passing you by
Choke on that
Keep on moving, keep on moving
Gotta run with the crowd
You'll end up in the madhouse
Shouting the cold walls down
Yeah don't hold back
Hold back
You're messing with your life
Hold back
Yeah life goes by fast sometimes
Be bold be bold be bold be bold baby
You're wasting your time
I want your attention
So pin back your ears
I've been climbing this tree of promises
For over forty years
Your vision get broken
And bust on the ground
So watch me, watch me rebound

Sometimes you feel like trouble, sometimes you feel down.
Let this music relax you mind, let this music relax you mind.
Stand up and be counted, can't get a witness.
Sometimes you need somebody, if you have somebody to love.
Sometimes you ain't got nobody and you want somebody to love.

You just want to see his face.

Written by Aaron Copland
Lead vocals by James Young
Another new day takes up on you
A fanfare wakes the land
The naked lives just a shining down
At the dawn of the common man
Outside in the madding crowd
He laughs along the way
Traffic city, what a pity
It doesn't have a word to say
Troubled people, billions of people
They can't seem to understand
The ringing ears are unable to hear
The sounds of the natural plan
Yeah yeah yeah

Babe
Come in from the cold
Put that coat to rest
Step inside
Take a deep breath
And do what you do best
Yea
Kick off them shoes
And leave those city streets
I do believe
Love came our way
Fate did arrange
For us to meet
Refrain
I love when you do
That hocus pocus to me
The way that you touch
You've got the power to heal
You give me that look
It's almost unreal
It's almost unreal
Hey
We can't stop the rain

Sometimes I feel
Strange as it seems
You've been in my dreams

Like things you have done
Like breakin' my heart
For you it don't seem
Terrible at all
Is there someone I can talk to?
Someone on the line?
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind?
Beautiful things
Like leaves on a tree
Beautiful things
The sky and the sea
Since you've been gone
No beautiful things
Seem beautiful to me
Is there someone I can talk to?

Make the grass grow in the garden
When the rain is passin' by
Does anybody want to know

<@#Roxette_Cinnamon_Street.txt#@>
Growing up on Cinnamon Street. Everywhere you look there are lots of people to
meet, it's seven o'clock, the breakfast treat. Now the schoolbus is here,
hurry up and grab a seat. All the dreams are tiny ones, another week has just
begun on Cinnamon Street.
There was a girl on Cinnamon Street, the same age as me, we shared the
curiosity. I won her heart 'cause I could play guitar. I promised her heaven
at once and later all the stars. But it all remained the same 'cause things
can never change on Cinnamon Street.
I can hear my heartbeat the very first time we made love, life was a lazy rest
in the sun. Later we went dancing, staying up all night long - playing all our
favourite songs, Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na.
I say goodbye to Cinnamon Street. Springtime is here and the air is so dry and
sweet. I walk in a cloud, the smell of cinnamon bread, it's in my blood since
the day I was born 'til I wake up... dead. And the sun is smiling gently, a
funny shade of red, Cinnamon Street.
I still feel my heartbeat the very first time we made love, life was a lazy
day in the sun. Later we went dancing, hanging out all night long - singing
all our favourite songs, Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na na.
<@#Roxette_Crazy_About_You.txt#@>
Ooooo...
I'm crazy about you
I'll give you all my love
Yes I'm crazy about you
Night and day, day and night
I'll be your heart's salvation
Hey baby, let's stay together
Let's make it now and forever
I want to show it and shout it
And tell the whole world about it
I thought it never could happen
I thought you never would see me
You run a lovin' locomotive
You make my needs very primitive
The more I get, the more I want from you, of your affection
When you're around, I'm in control, I feel a complete connection
Hello, hello
I'm so crazy about you, you know... baby
Hello, hello, hello
Yes I'm crazy, so crazy about you
C'mon close your eyes, honey, trust me!
I want to enjoy your body
I want to take you much higher
And play the game of desire
Well I can't hide
I'm getting hungry for a bite
I'm blinded by this obsession
I keep dancing like your possession
I'll wrap my legs all around you I'll show you total devotion
No need to talk love will speak to you with sweet emotions
Hello, hello
I'm so crazy about you, you know...baby
Hello, hello, hello
Yes I'm crazy, so crazy about you
<@#Roxette_From_Head_To_Toe.txt#@>
I knew the minute I saw you
That we, we were two of a kind
And I knew, yea, when I danced with you
Abduct in a miracle mind
I keep my head up high
I keep my love alive
Yea, yea, yea!
You go from head to toe
This mystery has taken over me - I know
You make the true love shine You go from head to toe
There's all emotions flowing over me - I know
You make the true love shine, eye to eye
Well I've had a love that once blinded me
But now it makes me wanna cry
Well her heart is soaked with such cruelty
Her 'hello' sure sounds like 'good-bye'
But I keep my head up high
I keep my love alive
Yea, yea, yea!
You go from head to toe...
<@#Roxette_Help.txt#@>
Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone,
Help!
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in anyway.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like, I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?

I love the sound of smashing guitars
I love the sound of crashing guitars
Red guitars against the wall
Big guitars can turn so small
I love the sound of crashing guitars
Show it!
The 6-string kick inside
The 6-string kick inside
The 6-string kick inside.
I love the sound of breaking guitars
I love the sound of crashing guitars
Hey you long haired vintage Jesus
Break the guitar into 1000 pieces
I love the sound of crashing guitars
Don't you?
The 6-string kick inside
The 6-string kick inside.
Don't you love the sound of crashing guitars?
Don't you love the sound of crashing electric guitars?
Don't you love that sound, drivin' in your car
Don't you love the sound of crashing electric guitars?
Don't you?
Don't you?
I love the touch of watching the stars
I love the sound of trashing guitars
Custom made, Townshend's ace
Smash the axe and break the case
I love the sound of crashing guitars
Crashing and crashing!

Can you tell me where it leaves
When it's never ending?
Can you tell me where to go
When no one's home?
Chorus:
And I know, you know
It hurts
It hurts to be alone
You're wrong, you're wrong
On the one-way train going down
Can you tell me what to say
When there's no one listening?
Can you show me what to do
When all is done?
[Chorus:]
The plan has gone wrong
Like a one-way train going down
Going down, down, down
Going down
Going down, down, down
Ooohhhh
Yes I know, you know
It hurts
It hurts to be alone
You're wrong, oh you're wrong
On a one-way train going down, going down
Going down, down, down

It hurts to be alone

<@#Roxette_Only_When_I_Dream.txt#@>
Only when I dream
Only when I dream
To everyday there's a history
To every love that's lost there is tragedy
I saved the vision of you in my head
I watched a new universe being born raised in breath
In the calm of my bed
Some might say it's over now
I don't believe them
If I only got to you
I'd prove them right
(Only when I dream) I hear you, I'm near you
I hold you close to me
(Only when I dream) I touched you and I breath you
I feel you deep inside me
Things were never easy for me
And the temple we built stayed sacred and free
I came looking for more self-esteem
All I found was your voice on the answering machine
Simple and clear
Some might say it's truthful gone
I don't believe them
If I could only talk to you
I'd prove I'm right
(Only when I dream) I hear you and I'm near you
I hold you close to me
(Only when I dream) I touched you and I breath you
I feel you deep inside me
I tried to catch a butterfly
I tried to make a summer sky
Heal me
Rain exploded in my face
Seems to fade without a trace
Heal me
(Only when I dream) I hear you and I'm near you
I hold you close to me
(Only when I dream) I touched you and I breath you
I feel you deep inside me
<@#Roxette_Pearls_Of_Passion.txt#@>
There was a banquet of believers when we walked into the room.
December days of X-mas felt like days in June.
And there were morning light and sunrise chimes ecoed all around.
Now's the time for weary minds, the moon is northern bound.
And you know I'm going back, going back today.
Back to where I came from.
And you know I'm going back, going back to stay.
To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.
There's a promise in the twilight, it's so innocent and wild.
Two hearts that break the silence, you can hear a distant cry.
And there's emptiness and loneliness, it's more or less the same.
Let's run between the raindrops, babe and catch the midnight train.
<@#Roxette_Shadow_Of_A_Doubt.txt#@>
I heard your heart, you held it close to me.
The wild embrace, the silent sea,
A whisper of imagery for Lovers Supreme.
But now I'm lost in the crowd,
No shadow of a doubt
It's all over now,
No shadow of a doubt.
You changed the dream.
You changed the scenery,
the tender touch, the urge to breathe,
There under a lovelit sun
What's lost could be found.
But now, no trace of a sound,
no shadow of a doubt.
I'm faraway bound.
No shadow of a doubt.
<@#Roxette_Shes_Got_Nothing_On_(But_The_Radio).txt#@>
What she got she got to give it to somebody
What she got she got to give it to someone
It's not a case of growin' up or lots of money
It's just the fundamental twist of the sun
What she got she got to let somebody find it ("Really?")
What she got is not for her to keep alone ("Oh!")
Nobody's got a clue if there is such a reason ("Yeah?")
Why she wanna play it o-on her own
She's got nothing on but the radio
She's a passion play
And like the break of day
She takes my breath away
What she got she got to give to some contender
What she got is just like gold dust on a shelf
And no one's got a clue what's on her brave agenda
Why she wanna keep it keep it to herself
She's got nothing on but the radio
It's a passion play
And like the break of day
She takes my breath away
Who did the painting on my wall?
Who left a poem down the hall?
Oh I don't understand at all, he-he-hey
She's got nothing on but the radio
She's a passion play
And like the break of day
She takes my breath away
She's got nothing on but the radio
It's a passion play
And like the break of day
She takes my breath away
She takes my breath away
She takes my breath away

Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint,
My baby's coming back.
Say a prayer, hide hide away yea baby's coming back.
Hey hey hey, ain't gonna trouble his wandering mind,
Gonna take on the time to find out if my love is
Soul deep
Spinning the heart round a wire.
Soul deep
A heavenly wave.
Soul deep
Heating the heart like a fire,
Soul deep is taking my breath away-ay-ay.
Save a tear till the curtain will fall,
Well I'm saving them all for you.
Knock on wood,
Is it understood that I'm saving it up for you.
Hey hey hey,
Love is a hustle just a moment behind,
Gonna walk on the line to find out if my love is
Soul deep
Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint,
My baby's coming back.
Say a prayer, hide hide away yea yea baby's coming back.
Hey hey hey ride on the soul train now I'm too close to hide,
Gonna take on the time to find out if my love is soul deep
<@#Roxette_Staring_At_The_Ground.txt#@>
I'm staring at the gorund,
I'm bloodless, thrown away from the sun
What's lost cannot be found
I can't return your tears
If i ever live to be a thousand years
I'm staring at the ground
I never wished you a broken heart
Coincidence put you down
He won't withdraw those tears
If you ever lived to be a thousand years
What do I have to say to make you stay?
What do I have to do to make you happy?
I'm staring at the ground
I wish I could bring the spring to your door
To the coldest side of town
I carry your wounded dreams
Like the devil's deeds in the pocket of my jeans
What do I have to say to make you stay?
What do I have to do to make you happy?
<@#Roxette_Turn_To_Me.txt#@>
Turn to me - when your heart breaks away
Turn to me - don't turn me away
When everything's sad and down
When you're looking for somewhere to run
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Turn to me - when the moon gets to go
Turn to me - when the story's been told
When everything's dim and grey
And you're hitting a rainbow way
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Now that Christmas is here
A shadow of fears
And if you want to seek ....
Turn to me and read these lonely lonely eyes
Why don't you?
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me!
<@#Roxette_Watercolours_In_The_Rain.txt#@>
Going through the motions.
Ending up nowhere at all.
Can't see the sun on my wall.
Going through emotions.
Ending up on a frozen morning
With a heart not even broken.
Seems I've been running all my life, all my life.
Seems I've been running all my life, all my life, all my life
Like watercolors in the rain.
Find a place to settle down.
Get a job in a city nearby
And watch the trains roll on by.
I'll find the falling star.
I'll fall in love with the eyes of a dreamer
And a dream worth believing.
Seems I've been running all my life, all my life.
Seems I've been running all my life, all my life, all my life.
Like watercolors in the rain.
<@#Roxette_You_Turn_Me_On.txt#@>
I wake up in a different daylight
Guess I haven't been around
See me follow the shadow haunting your body
Naked like water - shining like honey
Move me - You turn me on - The thrill of it all
You turn me on - The thrill of it all
You turn me on - The thrill of it all
I read in the paper how everything's changed
But it's all the same - it's out of the game
I reach out and touch an endless temptation Live in a dream - the strangest
sensation
Move me - You turn me on...
The lines I have written are the lines on your face
They merge out of nowhere - and leave with no trace
And I've had the feeling we're turnin' to one
When everything's said - when everything's done
Move me - You turn me on...
You move me - Oh, baby, turn me on
<@#Roxy_Music_Beauty_Queen.txt#@>
Valerie please believe
It never could work out
The time to make plans
Has passed, faded away
Oh the way you look
Makes my starry eyes shiver
Then I look away
Too much for one day
One thing we share
Is an ideal of beauty
Treasure so rare
That even devils might care
Your swimming-pool eyes
In sea breezes they flutter
The coconut tears
Heavy-lidded they shed
Swaying palms at your feet
You're the pride of your street
While you worship the sun
Summer lover of fun
Gold number with neighbours
Who said that you'll go far
Maybe someday be a star
A fast mover like you
And your dreams will all come true
All of my hope, and my inspiration
I drew from you
Our life's pattern's drawn in sand
But the winds could not erase
The memory of your face
Deep in the night
Plying very strange cargo
Our soul-ships pass by
Solo trips to the stars, in the sky
Gliding so far
That the eye cannot follow
Where do they go
We'll never know
<@#Roxy_Music_Both_Ends_Burning.txt#@>
Please don't ever let me down
'Cause you know I'm not so sure
Do I have the speed to carry on
Burn you out of my mind, I know
You're a flame that never fades
Jungle red's a deadly shade
Both ends burning, will the fires keep
Somewhere deep in my soul tonight
Both ends burning
Burning
Burn
Now my course is plain as day
Running bold across to play
Both ends burning with a strange desire
That feeds the fire in my soul tonight
I will dance the night away
Living only for today
Both ends burning while you're counting sheep
Hell, who can sleep in this heat this night?
Tell me will I ever learn?
It's too late, the rush is on
Both ends burning and I can't control
The fires raging in my soul tonight
Oh will it never end?
Put your foot around the bend
Drive me crazy to an early grave
Tell me what is there to save tonight
Both ends burning
Burning
Burn
Keep on burning till the end, until the end
Keep on burning till the end, the very end
<@#Roxy_Music_Grey_Lagoons.txt#@>
Blue suns and grey lagoons
Silver starfish with honeymoons
All these and more to choose
If you
Satin teardrops on velvet lights
Morning sickness on Friday nights
Heaven knows what others I might bring
To you
Broken partings making strange goodbyes
Hopeless cases with fake alibis
Even hoping we'll be there to share
With you
Blue suns and gray lagoons
Grey lagoons
Grey lagoons

Oh here it comes again
That old ennui
I hope it won't stay long
Well it's every-man to his own thing
And every singer to his song
If you're feeling low
And all upset
Nothing's going right
You just make a wish
Like in a fairy tale
And I'll bewitch you
If it takes all night
There are many things
That I could say
To try and comfort you
But I know the words you'd like to hear
Are simply "I love you"
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
A topsy-turvy life
But only searching
For the truth
And I'll find it
If it takes all night long
Well I myself
May main concern
Is what I can afford
So if music be my mistress
Then at least she's Madame Claude, d'accord
Ah, more champagne!
To lose this pain
Would be very nice
So I'll help myself to one more drink
And I'll find myself
If it takes all night long
<@#Roxy_Music_Love_Is_The_Drug.txt#@>
T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated, spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up, what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

You better take what's left
'Cause I'm feeling rough
In dread of the night getting high
And name on the dress
Stretch far too long
But it pleases the mind
And that's nice
Rain rain rain
She put her head on the line
When she come strong
A single girl about town
And she stands or fall
By the way she moves
Ahead of her time
She can't lose
Rain rain rain
You got trouble in mind
Gets deep 'n' worse
Oh please don't stop getting high
You got lust for life
It don't seem to die
Gonna last for ever
Getting high
Rain rain rain

I've been thinking now for a long time
How to go my own separate way
It's a shame to think about yesterday,
It's a shame
Now that we are lonely
Life seems to get hard
Alone what a word - lonely
Alone it makes me cry
Thought-train set in motion
Wheels in and around
Express our emotion
Tracks up, then it cracks down
We've been running round in our present state
Hoping help would come from above
But even angels there make the same mistakes
In love

Dear Hyde
No more can I
Explain, I've tried
With words in vain
They pass you by
Like falling rain
From perfect skies
Still falls the rain

Hey brother don't be square
Here it is not over there
I'm your man, I've got it made
You need my fire you need my shade
You're here Hyde
Once more inspire
This strangely tied
Uncertain frame
So torn inside
Still falls the rain
Two minds, one vein
Still falls the rain

Hey doctor don't be scared
It's you and me so where's my share?
I'm the man just move aside
Call me mister call me Hyde
Hey lover don't be shy
I'm a single minded guy

Half a man ain't strong enough
Hey brother don't be square

Oh look at the sun, it's all a-glow
Slow burning star, sinking low
Heaven knows where you go
Out of sight, out of minds eye, no
Aw such a shame, you must leave
All day long you were a friend to me
Still, the moon's company
Until morning when larks will sing
Horizon's appointment you'll keep
For sun swept flamingos must sleep
Scenes like these from my dreams
Cover cutting-room floors all over
Warm heart we spin slowly from view
Why are you sad, do you disapprove?
How we've wasted our time
Sunset, end of my day, my decline
Postscript you trace colors the sky
Red-letter light fades, is filed away
Sunburst fingers you raise
One last sigh of farewell, goodbye
<@#Roxy_Music_Triptych.txt#@>
Here the soil is barren
Here, nothing grows
But crosses
They, know not what they do
You, your forgiveness
Falls as dew
Nailed upon a wooden frame
Twisted yet unbroken
Open mounted a silent choir
Understood, unspoken
Never was there heard a sound
Until the heavens opened
Now the tide is turning
To other-wordly yearning
Through the sun's eclipse seems final
Surely he will rise again

If heartaches brought fame
In loves crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
If loneliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time

But you need love - why don't you take it from me?
I know I ain't much but you can have me for free

Oh sweet, sweet Belinda
You don't owe me no gratitude or love
We're just two souls stuck here
Two lonely rivers filled with life.
Two lights shinin' in the darkness ahead
Two feet touchin' in a cold winters' bed

Oh sad eyes
Don't you know that tears can be erased?
Oh sad eyes Tears won't help

I'm crazy for thinkin' that my love could hold you
Crazy for tryin', crazy for cryin' and I'm crazy for lovin' you
Crazy for tryin', and crazy for cryin' and I'm crazy for lovin' you
<@#Roy_Orbison_Drifting_Away.txt#@>
Sadness slips in to the room
On silent steps of sorrow
Stealing sleep and all my dreams
Where will we be tomorrow
Lying with you
Crying with you
Drifting
Talking till dawn
Yet we go on
Drifting
Don't understand where we begin
Just drifting apart
Drifting apart
Feeling alone
Drifting away
We can't seem to work it out
Drifting from day to day
What is it all about
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Losing the feeling
And now the music of this song is almost done
And we used to play
From sweet surrender
To drifting away
Drifting
Two lovers lost
Two rivers crossed
Drifting,
Two bridges burned
No lessons learned
Drifting
Lonely together
Hurting each other
Still we can't say that it is over
Can't we bring back yesterday
Will we will be forever
Forever drifting away
Drifting
Drifting away

Sometimes love will bloom in the springtime
Then like flowers in summer it will grow
And then fade away in the winter
When the cold winds begin to blow
But when it's evergreen, evergreen
It will last through the summer and winter too
When love is evergreen, evergreen
Like my love for you
So hold my hand and tell me
You'll be mine through laughter or through tears
Then let the whole world see, our love will be
Evergreen through all the years
For when it's evergreen, evergreen
It will last through the summer and winter too
When love is evergreen, evergreen
Like my love for you
<@#Roy_Orbison_Go_Away.txt#@>
I really wouldn't mind it might be fun.
At any other time with any other one.
But lovers can't be friends.
And there's only one way it can end.
I would lose you,I would lose you.
There are not many girls I can talk with.
There are not many girls I can walk with.
And I don't have many friends if any,
So stay my friend and go away my friend.
I'm really wanting you to go away.
Everything you do, the things you say.
Confuse me now and then,
And I think I love you, my friend.
Go away,go away.
You're the only girl I have fun with.
You're the only girl I can run with.
You know friendship ends where love begins.
So stay my friend and go away my friend.
You know friendship ends where love begins,
So stay my friend and go,go away.
Go away,go away.go away....
<@#Roy_Orbison_Growing_Up.txt#@>
Your life begins when teardrops start, a broken toy, a broken heart
All of these things are just a part of growing up
From kiddie cars to walking shoes from lullabyes to lonely blues
Somehow you never quite get used to growing up
Yeah Yeah you're growing up, yeah Yeah you're growing up
It's good to know you're growing up.
The wheel of fortune takes a spin
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
But you must play the game again
Drink another cup,You're growing up.
Yeah Yeah you're growing up, yeah yeah you're growing up
It's good to know you're growing up.
Heeeeey eeeeey now little one you're growing up
Heeeeey eeeeey now little one you're growing up.
To be a man, to be a woman to understand, takes a lot of growing, growing up
You'll live to learn, you'll learn to live, you'll give to love your love to
give
And when you're wise enough you'll know, you're growing up
<@#Roy_Orbison_Help_Me.txt#@>
Baby baby baby
I saw her again today
She reached out to touch me again
But I turned and walked away
Singing goodbye was easy to do
I just thought how much I love you
Help me help me
please please help me, help me
Help me to keep from losing you
Honey honey honey
A man is only a man
She was my first and my last mistake
So try and understand
Forgive me and forget all you've been through
Let me find my way back to you
Help me help me
please please help me, help me
Help me to keep from losing you
Help me to keep from losing you
<@#Roy_Orbison_House_Without_Windows.txt#@>
I'm gonna move into
A house without windows
So I won't see you walking by, walking by
With your new love
There in the darkness of
My house without windows
I will never see the stars that shine
Shine on you, and your new love
I'd rather wonder through this endless night
Than to face the light of another lonely day
Knowing that you won't be there
There to share, these two arms ever again
I'll take all my broken dreams
And I'll take my broken heart
And from now on you will find me there
Crying there, trying to forget
In my house without windows
In my house without windows
And without love
<@#Roy_Orbison_I_Recommend_Her.txt#@>
Well, if you want someone to tear your world apart
Someone who will give it everything she's got
If you wanna learn to cry, I recommend her
If you want someone who's really qualified
Guaranteed broken heart every time
If you wanna learn to cry, don't let this chance pass you by
I recommend this girl to you, I recommend this girl to you
she's had plenty of experience along this line, oh, so many times
She's torn apart this heart of mine, it's fascinating
The way she operates
She'll put you down when you think you're finally getting someplace
I recommend this girl to you, I recommend this girl to you, yes I do
If you want your dreams to end before they begin
Someone who will ruin your life and then laugh while you cry
Don't let this chance pass you by
I recommend this girl to you, I recommend this girl to you
I recommend her, I recommend her
I recommend her, I recommend her

For awhile, I can sing
All the world and everything
Is touching you
Knowing you are real
A miracle beside me
For awhile, I can breathe
Life is you and I can
Cling to fantasies
Seeing me with you
Keeps my soul alive now
Tomorrow, if I die
At least I'll know why I live
You're mine
If only for awhile
For awhile, for awhile
You hold my world and you can spin it
For awhile, for awhile
Life is good because you're in it
Tomorrow, if I die
At least I'll know why I live
You're mine, you are mine
If only for awhile

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper
"Go to sleep, everything is alright"
I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams
But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye
It's too bad it only seems
It only happens in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams.
<@#Roy_Orbison_Indian_Summer.txt#@>
You were a lady - like lady I was a boy running wild
The way that you used everything that god gave you
I gave you my heart like a child, one moment you took me to heaven
Took me back to earth and then before I woke up to the fact I was small you
took me back to heaven again
And I remember the Indian summer how you held me, how you loved me (Loved me
loved me)
The world may give me a million reasons but reasons don't make it wrong
Every lesson I learned has a price in return I was lost in my youth and to
tell you the truth
I was empty and you filled me with a glow of love a loving loves may die
Just to hear you that sees me through, oh what I'd give to re-live all the
Indian Summers with you
So many hearts have been broken (Dum dumb dumb dumb-by Do Wah)
You had no trouble with mine like a fool I was there for the taking (but then)
It was only a matter of time you can lie in the sun with the warm wind blowing
Just knowing you've already paid but you can't live alone in an Indian Summer
at 110 in the shade
And I remember (and I remember) The Indian Summer
How you held me in the moonlight
We were riding along on a silver dream never dreaming it off our head
and if I'd known I'd lose you the moment I found you I'd love you all over
again
'cause I'm still empty (I'm still empty) Come fill me ( Come fill me)
With a fire of love your flame will follow flame 'cause it's all I want to do
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you-oooooooooooooooooo

Crazy heart your baby's gone, don't you know?.
Empty arms give up, give up, come on let go.
And maybe I will be alright.
And maybe I'll get through tonight.
Then maybe I will see you tomorrow.
Misty eyes don't see that face in every tear.
Longing lips don't speak that name, there's no one here.
And maybe I will see the dawn.
And maybe I'll get by alone.
Then maybe I will lose my sorrow.
In a hundred years trough a million tears,
Maybe,maybe.
Maybe I'll be loving you.
And maybe when my life is through
Then maybe I'll get over you.
Maybe,maybe,maybe.

You got me crazy little baby, you know you tear me up

When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing
When the twilight is gone you come into my heart
And here in my heart you will stay while I pray
My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day in a dream that's divine
My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away and your lips close to mine
Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh tell me the words that I'm longing to know
My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same for as long as we live
That you'll always be there at the end of my prayer

Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey, okay

Me and my baby are through
She was my love my one and only
I feel so bad I'm oh so lonely

They've been the same since she went away
"One dark haired angel disappears
Seems like She's been gone a million years"

So long goodbye

Thanks for listening while I cry
I feel a little better now that someone knows
But I will go on looking forever, I suppose

Weapons of mass distraction are used by politicians and conspiracy theorists
Within their reach
The entire solar system withstanding geographical combat
Annihilation is one source of political free speech
In a world of nuclear devastation, doom and deteonation
In a world of curiosity beyond the imagination
Every man and woman decides to hide the conspiracy behind global armageddon
When the entire planet prepares for destruction
Connecting their minds with others through telepathy
In the common sense of human curiosity
Destroy the entire world and get every man and woman out of nowhere
Look out for the annihilation gun
Look out for everywhere under the sun
Look out for the annihilation gun
Look here, there and everywhere
People use their super-human powers to discover the dark and dangerous world
Of hypothetical secrets
In most cases, sometimes he or she confess why they regret
In my opinion, gubernatorial fear is far from over
The conspiracy is nowhere beyond our greatest self-destructive endeavor
More and more human beings make connections
And it's part of an all-out worldwide chain reaction
Keep staring at the annihilation gun before it's too late
One year from now, the entire world's about to detonate
Look out for the annihilation gun
Look out for everywhere under the sun
Look out for the annihilation gun
Look here, there and everywhere
All nations will self-destruct, according to research scientists
The bomb will explode in many countries where nuclear weapons exist
Search for the enemy within your secret human desire
Stare at the fugutives caught in the crossfire
Stare at the anti-terrorsts standing higher
Look at the dangerous cheaters taking a stand
Nuclear detours fall pass the right human hand
Find one or more anti-terrorism activist fighting for freedom
Be sure the hidden enemy will escape from the kingdom
Look out for the annihilation gun
Look everywhere under the sun
Look out for the annihilation gun
Look here, there and everywhere
Look out for the annihilation gun
Look everywhere under the sun
Look out for the annihilation gun
Look here, there and everywhere

In a world lit only by fire
Long train of flares under piercing stars
I stand watching the steamliners roll by
The caravan thunders onward
To the distant dream of the city
The caravan carries me onward
On my way at last
On my way at last
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
On a road lit only by fire
Going where I want, instead of where I should
I peer out at the passing shadows
Carried through the night into the city
Where a young man has a chance of making good
A chance to break from the past
The caravan thunders onward
Stars winking through the canvas hood
On my way at last

Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroads, risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroads baby, the risin' sun goin' down

You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, baby I'm sinkin' down

Where would you rather be?
Anywhere but here
When will the time be right?
Anytime but now
On the edge of sleep,
I was drifting for half the night
Anxious and restless,
Pressed down by the darkness
Bound up and wound up so tight
So many decisions, a million revisions
Caught between and light...
Wilderness of mirrors
World of polished steel
Gears and iron chains
Turn the grinding wheel
I run between the shadows
Some are phantoms, some are real
Where would you rather be?
Anywhere but here
When will the time be right?
Anytime but now
The doubt and the fear
I know would all disappear
Anywhere but here
On the edge of sleep,
I heard voices behind the door
The known and the nameless,
Familiar and faceless
My angels and my demons at war
Which one will lose - depends on what I choose
Or maybe which voice I ignore...
Wilderness of mirrors
Streets of cold desire
My precious sense of honor
Just a shield of rusty wire
I hold against the chaos
And the cross of holy fire
Wilderness of mirrors
So easy to deceive
My precious sense of rightness
Is sometimes so naive
So that which I imagine
Is that which I believe
On the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so bright
Rested and fearless, cheered by your nearness
I knew which direction was right
The case had been tried by the jury inside
The choice between darkness and light...

What did I see?
Fool that I was
A goddess, with wings on her heels
All my illusions
Projected on her

What did I know?
Fool that I was
Little by little, I learned
My friends were dismayed
To see my betrayed
But they knew they could never tell me
What did I care?
Fool that I was
Little by little, I burned
Maybe sometimes
There might be a flaw
But how pretty the picture was back then
What did I do?
Fool that I was
To profit from youthful mistakes?
It's shameful to tell
How often I fell
In love with illusions again
What did I do?
Fool that I was
To profit from youthful mistakes?
So shameful to tell
Just how often I fell
In love with illusions again

It's not how fast you can go
The force goes into the flow
If you pick up the beat
You can forget about the heat
More than just survival
More than just a flash
More than just a dotted line
More than just a dash
It's a test of ultimate will
The heartbreak climb uphill
Got to pick up the pace
If you want to stay in the race
More than just blind ambition
More than just simple greed
More than just a finish line
Must feed this burning need
In the long run...
From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light
That gets in your eyes
One moment's high
And glory rolls on by
Like a streak of lightning
That flashes and fades
In the summer sky
Your meters may overload
You can rest at the side of the road
You can miss a stride
But nobody gets a free ride
More than high performance
More than just a spark
More than just the bottom line
Or a lucky shot in the dark
In the long run...
You can do a lot in a lifetime
If you don't burn out too fast
You can make the most of the distance
First you need endurance
First you've got to last...

Watching the damaged sunrise
One man standing near the edge of a quiet breakdown
I watch the sea, it helps to anchor me

Once you start hiding you keep on hiding
Till your paranoia calms down
Once you start watching you keep on watching
Till you're tied up and your spell bound

I want to talk, but I haven't got too much to say
I don't mean to be so Nihilistic
Forgive me if I seem to be too realistic
Once you start running you keep on running
Till your muscles start to break down
Once you start falling you keep on falling
Till you hit the cold cold ground
I watch TV - What do you want from me?

Once you start watching you keep on watching
Till you're tied up and you're spell bound

A certain measure of innocence
Willing to appear naive
A certain degree of imagination
A measure of make-believe
A certain degree of surrender
To the forces of light and heat
A shot of satisfaction
In a willingness to risk defeat
Celebrate the moment
As it turns into one more
Another chance at victory
Another chance to score
The measure of the moment
Is a difference of degree
Just one little victory
A spirit breaking free
One little victory
The greatest act can be
One little victory
A certain amount of resistance
To the forces of life and love
A certain measure of tolerance
A willingness to rise above

I've stood upon my mountaintop
And shouted at the sky
Walked above the pavement
With my sense amplified
I get this feeling
All my nerves are naked wires
Tender to the touch
Sometimes super-sensitive
But who can care too much?
I get this feeling
Scars of pleasure
Scars of pain
Atmospheric changes
Make them sensitive again
Each emotional injury
Leaves behind its mark
Sometimes they come tumbling out
Like shadows in the dark
I get this feeling
When I think about all I have seen
And all I'll never see
When I think about the people
Who have opened up to me
I get this feeling
Snow falls deep around my house
And holds the winter light
I've heard the lions hunting
In the Serengeti night
I get this feeling
Forests turned to factories
And river, sea, and sky
Hungry child in the desert
And the flies that cloud her eyes
I get this feeling
Pleasure leaves a fingerprint
As surely as mortal pain
In memories they resonate
And echo back again

A memo to a higher office
Open letter to the powers that be
To a God, a King, a head of state
A captain of industry
To the movers and the shakers
Can't everybody see?
It ought to be second nature
I mean, the places where we live
Let's talk about this sensibly
We're not insensitive
I know progress has no patience
But something's got to give
I know you're different
You know I'm the same
We're both too busy
To be taking the blame
I'd like some changes
But you don't have the time
We can't go on thinking
It's a victimless crime
No one is blameless
But we're all without shame
We fight the fire
While we're feeding the flames
Folks have got to make choices
And choices got to have voices
Folks are basically decent
Conventional wisdom would say
Well, we read about
The exceptions
In the papers every day
It ought to be second nature
At least, that's what I feel
"Now I lay me down in Dreamland"
I know perfect's not for real
I thought we might get closer
But I'm ready to make a deal
Today is different
And tomorrow the same
It's hard to take the world
The way that it came
Too many rapids
Keep us sweeping along
Too many captains
Keep on steering us wrong
It's hard to take the heat
It's hard to lay blame
To fight the fire
While we're feeding the flames

To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbow's end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways

Waiting for someone to call

Looking for an answer to
The question you have found
Looking for
An open door
You don't get something for nothing
You don't get freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be
What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory

Let it guide you along

For me
I can see
What would touch me deeper
Tears that fall from eyes
That only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes
That know why?
A lifetime of questions
Tears on your cheek
I tasted the answers
And my body was weak
For you

Proud swagger out of the schoolyard
Waiting for the world's applause
Rebel without a conscience
Martyr without a cause
Static on your frequency
Electrical storm in your veins
Raging at unreachable glory
Straining at invisible chains
And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Can't face life on a razor's edge
Nothings what you thought it would be
All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
Turn around and turn around and turn around
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me
It's not as if this barricade
Blocks the only road
It's not as if you're all alone
In wanting to explode
Someone set a bad example
Made surrender seem all right
The act of a noble warrior
Who lost the will to fight
And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Done with life on a razor's edge
Nothings what you thought it would be
No hero in your tragedy
No daring in your escape
No salutes for your surrender
Nothing noble in your fate
Christ, what have you done?
<@#Rush_The_Speed_Of_Love.txt#@>
Love is born with lightning bolts
Electro-magnetic force
Burning skin and fireworks
A storm on a raging course
Like a force of nature,
Love can fade with the stars at dawn
Sometimes it takes all your strength
Just to keep holding on
At the speed of love
A radiance that travels
At the speed of love
My heart goes out to you
Love is born with solar flares
From two magnetic poles
It moves towards a higher plane
Where two halves make two wholes
Like a force of nature,
Love shines in many forms
One night we are bathed in light
One day carried away in the storms
At the speed of love
Nothing changes faster
Than the speed of love
My heart goes out to you
We don't have to talk
We don't even have to touch
I can feel your presence
In the silence that we share
Got to keep moving
At the speed of love
Nothing changes faster
Than the speed of love
Got to keep on shining
At the speed of love
Nothing changes faster
Than the speed of love
My heart goes out to you

Time and motion
Wind and sun and rain
Days connect like boxcars in a train
Fill them up with precious cargo
Squeeze in all that you can find
Spontaneous elation
And the long-enduring kind
Time and motion
Flesh and blood and fire
Lives connect in webs of gold and razor wire
Spin a thread of precious contact
Squeeze in all that you can find
Spontaneous relations
And the long-enduring kind
The mighty ocean
Dances with the moon
The silent forest
Echoes with the loon
Time and motion
Live and love and dream
Eyes connect like interstellar beams
Superman in super nature
Needs all the comfort he can find
Spontaneous emotion
And the long enduring kind
<@#Rush_Time_Stands_Still.txt#@>
I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath
Before I start off again
Driven on without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
With a drink and a friend.
I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim who learns to transcend
Learns to live as if each step was the end.
Time stand still
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now.
Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Experience slips away.
I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes
Let my defenses down
All those wounds
That I can't get unwound.
I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain
Whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide
Comes around.
Make each impression
A little bit stronger
Freeze this motion
A little bit longer
The innocence slips away.
Summer's going fast
Nights growing colder
Children growing up
Old friends growing older
Experience slips away.
<@#Rush_Witch_Hunt.txt#@>
The night is black, without a moon
The air is thick and still
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light
Faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
The mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best
The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us
Our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theaters and bookstore shelves
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves
Quick to judge
Quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand
<@#Santana_America.txt#@>
This is America
POD and Santana live in La Casa
Live and direct for you and yours
Yo America, America
Was it the way that she looked at me
She had caught my eye
She stole my heart she freed my mind
The way we loved it was magical
Truly wonderful
It was me and your so beautiful
And I know that you feel this too
Will our dreams come true
I believe in you
Show me the way to my better days
What's the price to pay
If I follow you
<@#Santana_Its_A_Jungle_Out_There.txt#@>
I just gotta get away
Can't stand it
Children suffer every day
Tell me baby
What's it for
Fighting daily
For the turf
We're still killing each other
In the name of the Lord
There's a brand new graffiti
With blood on the walls
Peace, are you that far away?
Now you can feel it
Other people's pain
Love can heal it
Gentle as the rain
Oh, the United Nations drag their feet on the floor
All they do is spend your money
They don't tell you what for
Peace, what price we have to pay
Peace, there's gotta be a better way
People tell me it's useless to look for a way
I believe that tomorrow starts right here, today
Peace, are you that far away
Peace, there's gotta be a better way
Peace, are you that far away
Peace, there's gotta be a better way
Peace, peace
There's gotta be a better way
Peace, peace oh oh oh peace

Let me begin by telling you
Something that happened turned my head around
I took a walk on a cloudy day
I met a friend, this is what he said
Now is the time for change
I'm trying to get to a higher place
Life is surrounded by grace
Let's join together singing songs of freedom
What do you do when you gain the world
You pay the price, baby, you lose your soul
Live in a world of make believe
It won't work, baby, can't you see?
Now is the time for change
I'm trying to get to a higher place
Life is surrounded by grace
Let's join together singing songs of freedom
Praise
Praise
It's three o' clock in the mornin'
When I'm all by myself
And I feel the spirit comin' on again
Now is the time for change
I'm trying to get to a higher place
Life is surrounded by grace
Let's join together singing songs of freedom

Tonight is our turn
We have the opportunity
Don't be afraid
Want to make you happy
Satisfy the dreams inside our heads
Ooh daylight comes around so fast
I want to make this evening last
Ooh baby, I've given my best
Stand up, say it loud
What we need is a lotta love
Stand up, shout it out
What we need is a lot more love
Ooh baby, new dreams to share
And someone that will truly care
If you're lonely
I will always be there
Stand up, say it loud
What we need is a lot more love
Stand up, shout it out
What we need is a lotta good good love

Loving you this way
Has made my tired heart sing
Lady, you touch my soul
With all the love you bring
Being so close to you
Is where I want to be
Don't turn your smile away
Don't break my fantasy

You look good to me
Summer lady
You're my fantasy
Seeing your presence near
Every time I wake
My life would be incomplete
If I didn't have you there

You look good to me

You're my fantasy
Laying here in my room
With all my worldly things
Don't make up for all my dreams
Of you in my fantasy

You look good to me

<@#Santana_Two_Points_Of_View.txt#@>
You, always making promises
Who gets the blame for your mistakes
You, made a game of politics
Now fear and guilt on your face
But I can't feel your pain
And I won't share your shame
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
I don't mind walking in the rain
Ooh, tears of heaven soothe my pain
Love is the sound that makes me sing
I love to play a melody
But you can't hear the sound
But you can't, you can't feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
I don't mind walking in the rain
Ooh, tears of heaven soothe my pain
Love is the sound that makes me sing
I love to play a melody
But you can't hear the sound
But you can't, you can't feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
Two points of view
Two points of view
Two points of view
One for me, and one for you
But you can't hear the sound
But you can't, you can't feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free

Two points of view
One for me and one for you

You better take it easy baby
Before you go away
You did me dirty
You'll get yours one day
Chorus:
You better
Watch your step...
Talkin' about you
Watch your step...
You better
Watch your step...
Keep your eyes open wide
'Cause you'll be hurtin' down inside
You better leave me all your money
Before you go away
Don't think I'm funny honey
All I've got to say
Chorus
'Cause when you took your love
from me
You left me full of misery
I'm gonna be all right
Chorus
When you need me by your side
I'm gonna say go somewhere and hide
Watch your step...
You better watch out baby

I'm gonna keep my eyes focused,

You better walk right baby
There's just one thing I know
You better watch your step...
When you need me by your side

<@#Santana_Who_Loves_You.txt#@>
Walking down on Main Street
Cold chills in the air
Looking for a helping hand
Ain't nobody there
Dreams, nightmares, and fantasies
Weave their way around
I can see past appearances
They can't bring me down
[Chorus]
But tell me
Who loves you
When you're down and out
And you're all alone
Who loves you
When you've lost your mind
And you lose control
Television, radio and all the magazines
Focus on the negative
Time and time again
Young men give their lives away
Believing in a cause
Ware is always profitable
They write you off a loss
[Chorus]
<@#Santana_Wings_Of_Grace.txt#@>
What shall we do with the dreams
Who see a world we can never know
Who have found a place of wonder
Where only children dare to go
What shall we do with the dreams
Whose world has no room for hate
Whose vision of tomorrows promise
Is so far removed from our fate
For they dream of a thousand tomorrows
Each one better than the one before
A future filled with compassion
For the tired, the weak, the hungry and the poor
What shall we do with the dreamers
Who no longer answer when we ask why
Who work to make their world better
And are unafraid to try
What shall we say to the dreamers
Whose lives make ours seem so bare
Who make us feel so empty
Because they dare to care
For they dream not of thing done before
But of the miracles which lie ahead
Of the needy who can be assisted
And the famished who can be fed
What shall we make of the dreamers
When they choose not to live as we
When they say our world has no meaning
As long as others are still not free
What shall we think of the dreamers
When they no longer listen to what we say
When their silence leaves us uneasy
And they refuse to go away
For they dream of fanciful figures
Poised in mid flight
Angels with wings of grace
Floating on the light
Messengers from the next world
So unfamiliar but yet not strange
Bringing word of the new world
The beginning of the change
<@#Savage_Garden_Break_Me_Shake_Me.txt#@>
I never thought I'd change my
Opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've
Never known
You moved me in a way that I've
Never known
But straight away you just moved
Into position again
You abused me in a way that I've
Never known
You abused me in a way that I've
Never known
So break me shake me hate me
Take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me
Take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
So you're the kind that deals with the
Games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that
I've never known
You confuse me in a way that I've
Never known
So break me shake me hate me
Take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
So won't you break me shake me hate me
Take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
She says, " I can help you, but what
Do you say?"
Cause it's not free baby, you'll have
To pay
You just keep me contemplating, that
Your soul is slowly fading
God, don't you know that I live with a ton
Of regret?
Cause I used to move you in a way
That you've never known
But then I accused you in a way that
You've never known
But you've hurt me in a way that I've
Never known
Break me shake me hate me
Take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
So won't you break me shake me
Hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you
Will be alone
Listen, baby
You'll be, you'll be alone
Break me shake me hate me take
Me make me
Fake me break me shake me hate
Me take me

Love and other moments
Are just chemical reactions in your brain
And feelings of aggression
Are the absence of the love drug in your viens
In your veins
Love come quickly
Because I feel my self esteem is caving in
It's on the brink
Love come quickly
Because I don't think I can keep this monster in
It's in my skin
Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine
They're morphine
Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt but rarely seen
Rarely seen
Love I beg you
Lift me up into that privileged point of view
The world of two
Love don't leave me
Because I console myself that
Hallmark cards are true
I really do
I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy
Love don't leave me
Take these broken wings
I'm going to take these broken wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away
And learn to fly away
I'm gunning down romance

She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying mamma never loved her much
And, daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was color blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith is like a journey
I just don't have a map for
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
I would fly to the moon and
Back if you'll be my baby got a ticket
For a world where we belong repeat

If there's a way that you could
Be everything you want to be
Would you complain that it came too easy?
Just like the games with you and me
A resolution hard to see
But that's OK 'cause I don't
See things that are plain to see
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
You want to give ecstasy delivered
With certainty
But you're afraid that the pleasure
Won't be needed
In a way, we're the same two people
Looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)
Contemplate jealousy intermixed
With urgency
A million things take a damned
Good shot at you and me
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)
I'm gonna take you
I'll do my best to break you
I'm gonna take you higher
And that's no lie
Common sense is a game many
People don't like to play
But give it in and the moment takes
You either way
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)
If there's a way that you could
Be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came too easy?
In a way, we're the same two people
Looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies

I promised I'd be there
And now I'm here and I won't go
Before I give you everything I've got
You left everything behind, just to feel that touch
To join the family of spiders. really means so much
There's a storm up in the air
It's the power we all share
When it runs through our flesh and blood
If your blood is so hot
Stand up and rock with me
If your blood is too hot, rock with me

To hear you screaming out for more, still means everything
Raise your hands up in the air

Understand that we are mush too young to die

<@#Scorpions_Restless_Nights.txt#@>
Blackout in London
Just slippin' slide
Blackout in London
I'm just about to lose my mind
Big time in Paris
Time's gonna fly
Big time in Paris
It's c'est la vie for me tonight
Here I go
To take the one and only road I know
In my life
Here I go
Another place to bare my heart and soul
Restless nights
Hot shot in Dallas
A wild horse to ride
Hot shot in Dallas
I don't know how but I survived
Rock hard in Rio
Pure sex and crime
Rock hard in Rio
It's just too much to take tonight
Here I go
To take the one and only road I know
In my life
Here I go
Another place to bare my heart and soul
Restless nights
Restless nights
Restless nights
Red hot in Moscow
Turn back the tide
Red hot in Moscow
The eagle rocks the bear tonight
Die hard in Tokyo
Lexington nights
Die hard in Tokyo
I barely made it out alive
Here I go
To take the one and only road I know
In my life
Here I go
Another place to bare my heart and soul
Restless nights
<@#Scorpions_She_Said.txt#@>
In every corner of my memory
There's no place you wouldn't be
If anything, I wish I had
Another dream with you
Life was forever yesterday
Nothing in the world could take
Your love away, will I ever know
That time will ease the pain
For me someday
She said I won't leave you, ever
Just love me forever
She said you can leave, but never
Walk away
Lights reflecting in the evening sun
Back to the place where we were one
Soul mates forever about to chase
Rainbows in the dark
Another day to destiny
Come on and set me free
When I close my eyes, I see your smile
As I walk in the pouring rain
I call your name
She said I won't leave you, ever
Just love me forever
She said, we will be together, someday
She said I won't leave you, ever
Just love me forever
She said, you can leave, but never
Walk away
I can see a million faces
When I take a walk outside
But I just never knew
That I could go a million places
And I'd see always, only you
The loneliness crawls up on me
Without you there's no me
At any time or any place
But time will ease the pain
For me someday
She said I won't leave you, ever
Just love me forever
She said, we will be together, someday
She said, I will wait forever
I won't leave you ever
She said, you can leave, but never
Ever walk away
Don't walk away
Oh no don't walk away
I'll be waiting, always
Until you'll wake up from this dream
Someday
<@#Scorpions_Ship_Of_Fools.txt#@>
Another bloody Monday
Thirty-nine just died
All hell breaks loose in the crowd
A hopeless helter skelter
Another mindless crime
Some corner of the world is burning down
Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousand nights before
The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm
It won't take long 'till we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed
Corrupt politicians
Promise paradise
The thieves are reaching out for the crown
Violence is a killer
Threatens all our lives
Judgment day has come here and now
Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousand nights before
The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm
It won't take long 'till we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed
Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore
I see the fear explode just like
A thousand nights before
The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm
It won't take long 'till we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed
The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm
It won't take long 'till we collide
The ship of fools
Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed

Would you care for me if I was deaf and blind
Would you hear my voice if I was always quiet
Would you hold my hand if I was going to fall
Would you cry for me would you know my name at all
Would you be there if I was on the ground
Would you be my friend if no one was around
Would you hold me close if I was in the cold
Would you pray for me would you know my name at all
Would you care would you be there
For the soul behind the face
Would you love me for what I am
Would you care would you be there
For the soul behind the face
Would you love me for what I am
Would you care would you be there
For the soul behind the face

Yeah, well I'd like to tell you something now
For men who shows you who's the furthest in the sky
How can you lose your mind
How can you waste your time
Hoping like that
Look at the sun inside
Of my hand so bright
I call it music
Now if you touch you'll see
The stars from infinity
Judge me forever
You and the touch of rain
Music will make you sane
Burn like you say 'em
How can you lose your mind
How can you waste your time
Hoping like that
Look at the sun inside
Of my hand so bright
I call it music

Give me a job
The one I havn't got
Don't write me off at anytime
Don't ever leave me unsatisfied
I don't want to come in a second
I just want to come
Don't want to be the last in line
Don't want to be just left behind
And in the evening when I come home
It is time to throw my dog a bone
That's when I wear my shirt that says
In capital letters In capital letters
Isn't it fun fun fun to be number one
(He's got no job, got no blow got no Monica to go to)
Isn't it fun fun fun to be number one

Don't tell me I'm small
An inch too short
I might not be your size but I'm sure great
And definitely underpaid
So give me a job
The one I haven't got
Don't tell me I'm too poor to join the club
To hang out with the big shots
And in the evening when I come home
It is time to give my dog a bone
That's when I wear my shirt that says

You give me your smile
A piece of your heart
You give me the feel I've been looking for
You give me your soul
Your innocent love
You are the one I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
We're lost in a kiss
A moment in time
Forever young
Just forever, just forever in love
When you came into my life
It took my breath away
Cause your love has found it's way
To my heart
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
You make me dream
By the look in your eyes
You give me the feel, I've been longing for
I wanna give you my soul
All my life
Cause you are the one I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for so long
When you came into my life
It took my breath away
And the world stopped turnin' round
For your love
When you came into my life
It took my breath away
Cause your love has found it's way

Why do I feel discouraged
Why do the shadows come
And why does my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
So I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
So I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches
And I know He watches
And I know He watches me

In the beginning into the darkness
The spirit's moving upon the water
You spoke the words, "Let there be light"
Out of the chaos came the promise
The universe rose and applauded
When you commanded the new born sun to rise
You are the day spring you are the morning star
Creation's splendor speaks of who you are
You are salvation, you are the joy of the earth
Restoration comes hope of the broken world
Into my weakness, into my darkness
Your spirit's moving upon my heart and
You speak the words, "Let there be light"
Into my chaos comes your promise
The new is rising the old is past on
You are reviving and making all things right
You are the day spring, you are the morning star
Creation's splendor speaks of who you are
You are salvation, you are the joy of the earth
Restoration comes hope of the broken world
Arise shine the glory of the lord has risen
Arise shine the glory of the lord has risen
Arise shine the glory of the lord has risen
Arise shine the glory of the lord has risen
You are the day spring, you are the morning star
Creation's splendor speaks of who you are
You are salvation, you are the joy of the earth
Restoration comes, hope of the broken world
Restoration come, hope of the broken world

If you feel today that you can't make it
Keep holdin' on, cause you can take it
If you hold on a little while longer
Hold on a little while longer
Hold on a little while longer
Hold on
If you feel it's raining all in your life
And day by day, there's nothin'
Nothin' going right
Just hold on a little while longer
Hold on a little while longer
Hold on a little while longer
Hold on
Hold on
You gotta hold to His hand
God's unchanging hand
You gotta hold to His hand
God's unchanging hand
You gotta build your hopes on things eternal
My God will never let you down
Weeping may endure for the night
But if you trust in Jesus
Everything's gonna be all right
Just hold on a little while longer
Hold on a little while longer
Hold on a little while longer
Hold on

There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away
Away
Away
Wash all my sins away
E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
And shall be till I die
And shall be till I die
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
Wash all my sins away
Wash all my sins away
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
<@#Selah_Through_It_All.txt#@>
I've had many tears and sorrows
I've had questions for tomorrow
There've been times I didn't know right from wrong
But in every situation
God gave blessed consolation
That my trials only come to make me strong
I've been a lot of places
And I've seen so many faces
But there've been times I've felt so all alone
But in that lonely hour
In that precious, lonely hour
Jesus let me know I was His own
Through it all, through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Through it all, through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word
So I thank God for the mountains
And I thank Him for the valleys
I thank Him for the storms He's brought me through
'Cause if I never had a problem
I wouldn't know that He could solve them
I wouldn't know what faith in His Word could do
Through it all, through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Through it all, through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word
Yes, I've learned to depend upon His Word
I've learned to depend upon His Word

What Child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, Haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christian, fear for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, Haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
So bring incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant, come king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise, the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, Joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
This, this is Christ your King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, Haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Ooh, born in a manger, laid in some hay
They just didn't know who you were
Ooh, You were born in a stable, so far away
O, we just didn't know who You were
Yes, sweet little Jesus, boy
Sweet little Jesus, boy, oh
Didn't know who, who you were

[Verse 1]
No one love you like I love you
I never cheated, never lied
I never put no one above you
I gave you space and time
And now you're telling me you miss me
And I'm still on your mind
We were one in a million
Our love is hard to find
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you stay up late just so you don't dream?
[Chorus]
Every time your lips touch another
I want you to feel me, I want you to feel me
Every time you dance with somebody
I want you to feel me, I want you to feel me
Do your days get a little bit lonely?
Nights get a little bit colder?
Heartbeat a little bit louder?
Days get a little bit longer?
Nights get a little bit colder?
Heartbeat a little bit louder?
[Verse 2]
When you're running, who you run to?
Where do you go to hide?
When she ain't giving you enough to get you through the night
I won't be caught up in the middle
Through your highs and your lows
Baby, 'long as you're not with me, you'll always be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you stay up late, just so you don't dream?
[Chorus]
Every time your lips touch another
I want you to feel me, I want you to feel me
Every time you dance with somebody
I want you to feel me, I want you to feel me
Do your days get a little bit lonely?
Nights get a little bit colder?
Heartbeat a little bit louder?
Days get a little bit longer?
Nights get a little bit colder?
Heartbeat a little bit louder?

Watch all the flowers
Dance with the wind
Listen to snowflakes
Whisper your name
Feel all the wonder
Lifting your dreams
You can fly
Fly to who you are
Climb upon your star
When you believe
You'll find your wings
Fly to your heart
Touch every rainbow
Painting the sky
Look at the magic
Glide through your life
A sprinkle of pixie dust
Circles the night
You can fly
Fly to who you are
Climb upon your star
When you believe
You'll find your wings
Fly
Everywhere you go
Your soul will find a home
You'll be free
To spread your wings
Fly, you can fly to your heart
Rise to the heights
Of all you can be
Soar on the hope
Of marvelous things
Fly to who you are
Climb upon your star
When you believe
You'll find your wings
Fly
Everywhere you go
Your soul will find a home
You'll be free
To spread your wings
Fly, you can fly to your heart

It's the boy you never told I like you,
It's the girl you let get away.
It's the one you saw that day on the train,
But you freaked out and walked away.
It's the plane you wanna catch to Vegas,
Things you swear you'll do before you die,
It's the city of love that waits for you,
But you're to damn scared to fly.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
It's the time that you totally screwed up,
Still you're trying to get it out your brain.
It's the fight you had when you didn't make up,
It's the past that you're dying to change.
It's all the money that you're saving,
While the good life passes by.
It's all the dreams that never came true,
Cause you're too damn scared to try. (Scared to try.)
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
It's a mad, mad world, gotta make an escape,
It's a perfect world, when you go all the way.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight.
So let's go, go, go, go all the way.
Yeah let's go, go, go, go night and day.
From the floor, to the rafters, people raise your glasses,
We could dance forever!
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
It's a mad, mad world, gotta make an escape.
It's a perfect world, when you go all the way.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight.

You had me to get her.
And here, I thought it was me.
I was changin', arrangin' my life to fit your lies.
It's all said and all done.
I gave it all for the long run.
Can she say the same thing?
I guess this is good bye and good luck.
(I can't be what you want me to be)
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for changing.
I'm sorry it had to be this way.
Believe me, it's easier just to pretend.
But, I won't apologize for who I am.
No, no.
Remember the time when you said
You were out with your best friend.
But it wasn't the best friend
That you know I thought you meant and
I used to accept it,
I didn't know I could be free.
But I am, and I won't go back
'cause you so don't deserve me.
(I don't even want to be her)
[Chorus]
I thank you for this hopeless war
Cause through the pain now I'm stronger now than before.
Now I'm more.
I don't need you anymore.
I'm sorry.
(Listen close I won't say this again)
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for changing.
I'm sorry it isn't like it was.
Believe me, it's easier just to pretend.
But, I won't apologize,
Why should I apologize,
No, I won't apologize for who I am

Just drive I'm sick of talkin',
We know where this is going,
I'm done take me home,home,
I can't wait forever,
For you to get yourself together.
I'd rather be alone,
I'm so tired of pretending,
Just want a happy ending,
[Chorus]
Wish I could put a spell on you,
Wish I could make you feel like I do,
Wouldn't that be sweet so magical,
Wish I could blink and wave a wand,
Get everything that I ever wanted,
And put a spell on you,
And make it all come true,
You taught me what I know,
Guys like you come and go,
But I know things can change
See my heart it may be broken,
But that wont stop me hoping
[Chorus]
I just wanna know what we should've done,
Wanna figure out what we could've become,
'Cause I know in my heart I'm not over you,
I just wanna go back and try it again,
Turn back the time this isn't the end of us,
This isn't the end of us
This isn't the end of us
Whoa

<@#Selena_Gomez_Middle_Of_Nowhere.txt#@>
You left me spinning like a disco
Trying but I don't know
If I can stand straight
You took me left when you knew I was right
Now I got to try to fight just to make it through the day
I never knew what you were capable of
Baby, I would've kept my heart
But I gave it up
Baby, I fell in love
Now I don't know where to start
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
Now I'm lost
Trying to make it on my own
I thought I could never do this,
But now I'm walking by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
You left me broken like a record
Baby, I'm baby I'm hurt and I don't want to play anymore
Missed every sign
Believed ever lie
And I was waiting for more
I never knew what you were capable of
Baby, I would've kept my heart
But I gave it up
Baby, I fell in love
Now I don't know where to start
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
Now I'm lost
Trying to make it on my own
I thought I could never do this alone,
But now I'm walking by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
You took my heart off my sleeve
But now I'm taking it back
Baby, here I come
You took advantage of me
I don't appreciate that, that
You son of a gun
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
It's so cold with nobody to hold me
You're so wrong for leaving when you told me
You would never leave me by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere
Now I'm lost
Trying to make it on my own
I thought I could never do this alone,
But now I'm walking by myself
Out in the middle of nowhere

Memorize where I've gone wrong
If they fall way
I'll stay with you
But do as I say and not as do
Trust me and you'll see
All I want is what is best for you
Little man your head is full of dreams
If only I could spend one day touring
Your imagination
If I live longer you'll grow faster
At recognizing the traps that cause
Me such frustration
If they fall way
I'll stay with you
But do as I say and not as I do
Trust me and you'll see
All I want is what is best for you
So naive, it helps me to breathe
Your smile I keep on file
You tickle me pink
I love the way you think
So when I'm feeling low I know
I'm your greatest fan
<@#Sia_Numb.txt#@>
I saw you cry today
The pain may fill you
I saw you shy away
The pain will not kill you
You made me smile today
You spoke with many voices
We traveled miles today
Shared expressions voiceless
It has to end
[Chorus]
Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you
It has to end to begin
Began and end today
Gave and got given
You made a friend today
Kindred soul cracked spirit
It has to end to begin
[Chorus]
It had to end to begin

Under the moonlight
Weathering with your warm embrace
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Baby we're worth the wait

Under the moonlight, under your moonlit gaze
I know that I'd take one million bullets babe

How many will you take?

If you were the hero, yeah, I'd take a bullet for you
So take me in your arms, take me for all I have
Cause I'd give my life for one of your belly laughs

I got a feeling, I got a feeling
Danger is coming, a danger is coming
A danger is coming

The war has been won here, the war has been won here

Under the moonlight, under your moonlit gaze
I know that I'd take one million bullets babe
Yeah, one million bullets can come my way

Broke down, thought that I would drown
Hope that I've been found, 'fore I hit the ground
Sun rays out the corner of my eye, hey
Saw you weeping, saw you creeping
Saw you sneaking in the shadow's dawn
I feel so strong
Saw you out the corner of my eye

Don't come for me today

Feel the wind in my hair, hear the ocean sing
I got good things to feel in my life, yeah

By the window
Since time began
Watch the wind blow
Sculpting sand
All in letters bound in string
Life is slowly unraveling
Burning castle
Turning down
Mr. Prince has lost her crown
All in letters bound in string
Time is slowly unraveling
She sells
Empty sea shells
Lost in the ocean
Through the window
We can see
Sand and biscuits
Cups of tea
All in letters bound in string
Life is slowly unraveling
All in letters bound in string
Life is slowly unraveling
She sells
Empty sea shells

Never ending symptoms in my head
We lay hollow in the emptiness
I'm too tired to push you from the bed
[Pre-Chorus]
No more fighting, no more fighting
No more fighting for us
[Chorus]
Feel the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend or break it
The space between is deafening
The space between is deafening
[Verse 2]
No one's moving, we lack the courage to
We lay in stalemate, wishing the other would
But we're too tired, we're at the ember's core
[Pre-Chorus]
No more fighting, there's no more fighting
There's no more fighting for us
[Chorus]
Feel the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend or break it
The space between is deafening
[Bridge]
No more fighting, we've given up now
Silence has more than worth
Imagination cures loneliness
When you become a prisoner

Feel the void in our bed
The space between is deafening
Oh, we don't bend or break it
The space between is deafening

With a blind headache
Who must be still
Who will sit and wait
For Sunday, to be Monday

Yeah, it will be ok

Give yourself a break
Let your imagination run away
For those with guilt
For those who wilt
Under pressure
No tears over spilt milk

Driving compulsion morbid thoughts come to mind
Sexual release buried deep inside
Complete control of a prized possession
To touch and fondle with no objection
Lonely souls an emptiness fulfilled
Physical pleasures an addictive thrill
An object of perverted reality
An obsession beyond your wildest dreams
The Death loves final embrace
Your cool tenderness
Memories keep love alive
Memories will never die
The excitement of dissection is sweet
My skin crawls with orgasmic speed
A lifeless object for my subjection
An obsession beyond your imagination
Primitive instinct a passion for flesh
Primal feeding on the multitudes of death
Sadistic acts a love so true
Absorbingly masticating a part of you
Death loves final embrace
Your cool tenderness
Memories keep love alive
Memories will never die
I need a friend
Please be my companion
I don't want to be
Alone with my sanity
Erotic sensations tingle my spine
A dead body lying next to mine
Smooth blue black lips
I start salivating as we kiss
Mine forever this sweet death
I cannot forget all your breaths
Panting excitedly with my hands around
Your neck
Shades are drawn
No one out can see
What I've done
What's become of me
Here I stand
Above all that's been true
How I love
How I love to kill you
<@#Slayer_Altar_Of_Sacrifice.txt#@>
Waiting the hour destined to die
Here on the table of hell
A figure in white unknown by man
Approaching the altar of death
High priest awaiting dagger in hand
Spilling the pure virgin blood
Satan's slaughter, ceremonial death
Answer his every command
Death will come easy just close your eyes
Dream of the friends you'll see
Heavenly failure losing again
Move on to a new form of life
Altar of sacrifice, curse of the damned
Confronting the evil you dread
Coalesce into one your shadow and soul
Soon you will meet the undead
Altar of sacrifice, curse of the damned
Confronting the evil you dread
Coalesce into one your shadow and soul
Soon you will meet the undead
Enter to the realm of Satan!
Blood turning black, the change has begun
Feeling the hatred of all damned in Hell
Flesh starts to burn, twist and deform
Eyes dripping blood realization of death
Transforming of five toes to two
Learn the sacred words of praise, hail Satan
A gift of powers disposed upon you
Use them when you feel the need
Master the forces and powers of Satan
Controlling the creature's instinct
Drawn to the castles that float in the sky
Learn to resist the temptation
Watching the angels sift through the heavens
Endlessly searching for salvation
<@#Slayer_Deviance.txt#@>
I embrace the darkness within
Forever serve beneath its hand
Horrid thoughts that surface to me
Ceremony bloods command
I will live through this forever
I have done the things you grieve
As you kneel before its evil
Death is here deep inside your
Skinned alive now naked
Terrorized no humanity
Seek salvation from an mia god
Empty vessels chanting for your death
Walk the streets beneath the shadows
Searching for a cryptic bride
Eat alive the conscience I hate
Without pain I watch you die
I will live through this forever
I have done the things you grieve
As you kneel before its evil
My face is the last you'll see
Soaked in blood the mask you wear
Haunting cries the dead scream for me
Staring eyes invoke no guilt
I can taste your mind your lifeless
Face the dead and dying
Feel your life drain
Through your soul
Seek salvation from an M-I-A god
Empty vessels chanting for the dead
Death is yours
Your veins have dried
Staring eyes of glass now empty
Still you speak with lips so cold
In my head I hear you cry
God is dead can't save me
Taking lives with impunity
Resurrection of a deviant Christ
Feeding hate to capacity - deviance
<@#Slayer_Fictional_Reality.txt#@>
Crisis feeds the lunacy
All fear the new machine
Consumed democracy returns a socialist regime
It's laid to rest without a contest
All hail the new incompetence
Masking you see what to believe
A drone in the world of anarchy
Treachery, misery, violence, insanity
Scavengers closing in
Covering the truth again
Castrate society
Fictional reality
Insecurity afraid of things you cannot see
Words become the image of the enemy
You can't dissect what was correct
Vengeance based on how things were said
Can't see your side conflicts with mine
Frustrations lead to complete demise
Treachery, misery, violence, insanity
Scavengers closing in
Covering the truth again
Every trial conspiracy
Compassion is the enemy
Paralyze, criticize
Breaking through the wall of lies
Suicidal hierarchy racing in reverse
Everything that's done today will be tomorrow's curse
Screams in my head precede your death
Can't hold the rage when the truth is shed
Blind lead the bind line after line
In a world too shallow to defy
Treachery, misery, violence, insanity
Scavengers closing in
Covering the truth again
Castrate society
Fictional reality

Endure the pain
You know my name
I am your soul insane
I am no one
No one who cares
I am your soul despair
Your fear deceives
Vulnerability
Leaving an easy prey
Consume your mind
A power so divine
Will take you and rape you blind
Gemini master of demise
Your death is my salvation
To a kingdom mine
My lord is my light
The master of darkness
Your death is my salvation
To a kingdom mine
You look at me with eyes of fate
And see the graphic truth
Your ignorance cannot shield you
From your naked abuse
Numbing of your moral sense
Facing reality
That life is unconditional
And death is only the beginning
The pain will never end...
Walking slow, breathing heavy
You could see death sweat
How it shined
An argument out of control in my mind
I am here for the sole purpose of your death
Walking slow breathing heavy
You can see death sweat.
I am here for the sole purpose of death
Look into my eyes and see the revelation of your demise
Feel the pain that stares at the center of your heart
Reflections of my soul
Reflections of the dark

Illness, infected born mutilated strain
Issue transfusion no one left to blame
Nature's way of thinning out the human fucking herd
Disease, to war to fear his own kind
The human strain, returning plague
Drink the tainted blood
From the only child
Cities, increase speed population rise
Dying, the future process in the genes
Death stalking man as he embraces the absurd
Through peace, through life, the hatred of himself
The human strain, returning plague
Drink the tainted blood
From the only child
Death stalking man though peace, through life, though hatred of himself
Death stalking man, as he embraces his crucifixion
Skinless resurrection, from the bodies of the dead
Sickness is increasing, as the oceans turn red
Apparatus for self destruction, day of judgement is now at hand
Decayed memories haunt vaccinated minds
Risk contamination mechanism of death
Anyone left alive scorch turn to ash
Disease, war black death touching man
The human strain, returning plague
Drink the tainted blood
From the only child

Enter my mind can you stop the rage
No one shall mourn or pity my grave
Fighting the world without remorse
Searching for blood to never grow old
A personal hell is where I reside
Taunting death sounds cadavers in pain
Judging my soul I am not his son
Screaming God's name I want some more
[Chorus]
You love to hate me
But you won't kill me
Suicidal surge
Desensitize the world
Take what I want primordial ground
Humanity bleeds from inside my veins
Losing all grasp an evil so old
Vengeance it breeds driving you insane
Exhaust all will hanging by the neck
Anguish within let it blind the eyes
Better off dead us your epitaph
Apathy feeds the human demise
Absolute reign a malevolent mind
Conceptions so vile in this bottomless soul
Total addicting, corrupt and profane
Force-fed lies in this chapel of lust
Dancing in blood disciples enslaved
Putrefied walls adorned with your flesh
Coating this shrine of the ungodly cross
[Chorus]
Pessimistic dreams
Realistic screams
Crucify creation
Magnify damnation
Enter my mind can you stop the rage
No one shall mourn or pity my grave
Fighting the world without remorse
Searching for blood to never grow old
Conceptions so vice in this bottomless soul
Putrefied walls adorned with your flesh
Coating this shrine of the ungodly cross

You better learn my name
Cause I'm the one insane
And I'm a constant threat
You run in fear from my dark silhouette
Inside my violent mind
Chaos is all you'll find
Anarchy uncontained
Bear witness to the scorn of my campaign
Perversions of pain
Seep from my eyes
Into your brain
Visualize
Within my world of hate
Disruption I instate
Malicious entity
Defile and desecrate humanity
Alone they all will die
Corroding from inside
With no one left to save them
As I'm dancing on the fucking graves
Perversions of pain
Seep from my eyes
Into your brain
Visualize
Take a look into my mind
Where pleasure is refined
Endless burning holes
Of scarred souls
Step inside my world of hate
Where everything mutates
Your senses under siege
Ingest the virtues I feed
A higher level of pain
Is racing through my veins
There's nothing more intense
Than mental misery that I dispense
So follow right along
Observe a fresh new dawn
Of super sensation
My realm of torture stimulation
Perversions of pain
Seep from my eyes
Into your brain
Visualize
You better learn my name
Cause I'm a man insane
Inside my violent mind
Chaos is all you'll find
Within my world of hate
Disruption I instate
Alone you all will die
Corroding from inside
Follow right alone
Observe a fresh new dawn
Racing through my veins
A higher level of pain
Higher level of pain

Funeral held for the depression of man
Holds the key to his own death
Entering a tomb of a corpse yet conceived
Tighten the tourniquet around your neck
Sifting away the debris of hated life
Cold touch of death begins to chill your spine
Seeking life beyond your perishment
Repeating words echoing through your mind
Chanting lines of blind witchery
To save yourself from extinction
Wanting to die is your reason to live
New life born from the oppressed
Taste your blood as it trickles through the air
Another casualty beyond the shadows you fall
Losing ground, the fate you feel it draws near
Fatality, reality, you await the final call
My sinful glare at nothing holds thoughts of death behind it
Skeletons in my mind commence tearing at my sanity
Vessels in my brain carry death until my birth
Come and die with me forever
Share insanity
Do you want to die!
The waves of blood are rushing near, pounding at the walls of lies
Turning off my sanity, reaching back into my mind
Non-rising body from the grave showing new reality
What I am, what I want, I'm only after death

Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself

A decorated splatter brightens the room
An execution a sadist ritual
Mad intervals of mind residuals
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself

Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yourself and let your thoughts drain

Faded memories haunt you
Listen clearly to my voice
Feed me all your hatred
Empty all your thoughts to me

Screams of terror across the sea
Begging for mercy in their one final plea
Soldiers prepare to fight to the death
Fighting and killing to their very last breath
Blitzkrieg tactics of the German command
Born with the power of God in his hand
He makes his move to conquer the land
Turning all hopes of life to sand
[Chorus]
Machine gun fire, blood level higher
Visions of torture and terror to all
Ready for battle awaiting the final command
Hiding in darkness from enemies unseen
Awaiting our victory ending his dream
Cursed are the souls who defy his will
All of which are tortured and ruthlessly killed
Blitzkrieg tactics of the German command
Born with the power of God in his hand
Shocking the world with his mass devastation
He puts all his power in the trust of one nation
[Chorus]
At the crack of dawn they storm again
Hunting, fighting and killing all men
The end is near our time now short
Our kingdoms have fallen as a result of his sport
Blitzkrieg tactics of the German command
Born with the power of God in his hand
Withdrawn from fighting he now takes his leave
Seeking out goals that can't be conceived

Philosophy, the vision, the view within
Duty, science, abstract cruelty

What are your final thoughts?
Do you want to kill me or die in shame?
From my point of view
Justified action, the enemy burns
The fun of massacre in the brain
Bio-weapons and I are the same
Look at their face, hatred in their blood
Pile up the dead, my humanity
X-rays burn all that you can see
Nobody knows what a body can stand
Skulls on fire yet mercy is worse
You seek only your pleasure in death

Bacterial target, eyes exploding
Melting flesh through your mind
Become your madness insanity wins
Infant's flesh on the walls
Testing limits threshold of pain
Ripping out teeth to observe
I want blood

Knowing now the dead still see
My blood it runs like mercury
Human brain experiment
On prisoners open skull

Churning factories of death

Just meet me in the alley by the
Railway station
It's all over my face
Oh...
<@#Smiths_Paint_A_Vulgar_Picture.txt#@>
At the record company meeting
On their hands - a dead star
And oh, the plans they weave
And oh, the sickening greed
At the record company party
On their hands - a dead star
The sycophantic slags all say :
"I knew him first, and I knew him well"
Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package!
Re-evaluate the songs
Double-pack with a photograph
Extra track (and a tacky badge)
A-list, playlist
"Please them , please them !"
"Please them !"
(sadly, this was your life)
But you could have said no
If you'd wanted to
You could have said no
If you'd wanted to
BPI, MTV, BBC
"Please them ! Please then!"
(sadly this was your life)
But you could have said no
If you'd wanted to
You could have walked away
...Couldn't you?
I touched you at the soundcheck
You had no real way of knowing
In my heart I begged "Take me with you ...
I don't care where you're going..."
But to you I was faceless
I was fawning, I was boring
Just a child from those ugly new houses
Who could never begin to know
Who could never really know
Oh...
Best of! Most of!
Satiate the need
Slip them into different sleeves!
Buy both, and feel deceived
Climber - new entry, re-entry
World tour! ("media whore")
"Please the Press in Belgium!"
(This was your life...)
And when it fails to recoup ?
Well, maybe :
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
You're just the same as I am
What makes most people feel happy
Leads us headlong into harm
So, in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses'
I danced my legs down to the knees
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again...
At the record company meeting
On their hands - at last! - A dead star !
But they can never taint you in my eyes
No, they can never touch you now
No, they cannot hurt you, my darling
They cannot touch you now
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again

Upon the sand, upon the bay
"There is a quick and easy way" you say
Before you illustrate
I'd rather state :
"I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am"
And sorrow's native son
He will not smile for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
Oh...
End of the pier, end of the bay
You tug my arm, and say : "give in to lust,
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll
Soon be dust... "
Oh, I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am
And sorrow's native son
He will not rise for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
Oh really ?
Oh...
I could have been wild and I could have
Been free
But nature played this trick on me
She wants it now
And she will not wait
But she's too rough
And I'm too delicate
Then, on the sand
Another man, he takes her hand
A smile lights up her stupid face
(and well, it would)
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith...
Oh...
Hand in glove...
The sun shines out of our behinds...
Oh...
<@#Smiths_Sheila_Take_A_Bow.txt#@>
Is it wrong to want to live on your own?
No, it's not wrong - but I must know
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad?
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you
Oh...
Is it wrong not to always be glad ?
No, it's not wrong - but I must add
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad ?
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you
Take my hand and off we stride
Oh, la...
You're a girl and I'm a boy
La...
Take my hand and off we stride
Oh, la...

All the lies that you make up
What's at the back of your mind?
Oh, your face I can see
And it's desperately kind
But what's at the back of your mind?
Two icy-cold hands conducting the way
It's the Eskimo blood in my veins
Amid concrete and clay
And general decay
Nature must still find a way
So ignore all the codes of the day
Let your juvenile impulses sway
This way and that way
This way, that way
God, how sex implores you
To let yourself lose yourself
Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Let your puny body, lie down, lie down
As we lie, you say
As we lie, you say
Stretch out and...
Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Let your puny body lie down, lie down
As we lie, you say :
Will the world end in the night time?
(I really don't know)
Or will the world end in the day time?
(I really don't know)
And is there any point ever having children?
Oh, I don't know
All I do know is we're here and it's now
So...stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
There is no debate, no debate, no debate
How can you consciously contemplate
When there's no debate, no debate?
Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Wait
Wait
Wait
Wait

Tumbling through space
When you touch my hand
I swear I feel like I'm ballin'
(Ballin', Ballin', Ballin', Ballin')
Yeh ballin'
(Ballin', Ballin', Ballin', Ballin')
Like a wheel
Whirling round and round
Rolling down a hill (rollin' down a hill)
Spinning on the ground (rollin' down a hill)
Your kissing makes me dizzy yeh
In the head (ooh yeh)
And I'm ballin'
I'm ballin'
I love this game coz this game love me back
I'm pushing a lac, smoking sacs like a mad mac
Bringing me back, banging the 8-track track
The Dramatics and Battle Cat and Snoop like that
Big stars in big cars we pull up at the big clubs and sit at the big bars
Sippin' champagne with a bowl of cavier
Hell yea you are, yeah you are
Say it say it, cause they all deny it
Player play it, cause you can't deny it
As fly as it get, as fly as I spit you know its the shit
It's so gangsta, gangsta bitch
Switch back to the old school, old fools know
This here thing we do so original
I got to have it, lavish
Is how we establish
On the real love one it feels good to have
Like a rose, flipping down the street
Looking oh so sweet (lookin' oh so sweet)
Bumping to the beat (bumping to the beat)
These streets they keep me busy yeh
Makin' bread
And I'm ballin'
(Ballin', Ballin', Ballin', Ballin')
Yeh ballin'

Oh here I go!

Cause they know

Now you can cruise if you choose but I prefer to do the cha-cha
And once my small kitchen ?throw?
You know I gotcha
Watch out, no need to pull your glock out

Look at my hair and the girls wit me

Pimp pimp parade, my nigga get your bang on
Cause my uncles about to get their sang on
And all round the world, my nigga, it's the same song
And when its time for your callin', fallin', wit no stallin'
Keep it ballin'
He starts to mill
Just rollin' true his town
Stacking dollar bills (stacking dollar bills)
Raising dogg pound (he be raising the dog pound)
Because he's loved
Loved in every city
That's why he's ballin'
(Ballin', Ballin', Ballin', Ballin')
Yeh ballin'
(Ballin', Ballin', Ballin', Ballin')
There it is cause it is there

They say time brings change and change brings time
It's so genuine and so divine
It's been so long in fact its overdue
Now tell me baby girl what can D-O-DOUBLE-G do for you
I fell for you, I'll always look over you

Celebrate, grab a drink and put a blunt in the sky
Worldwide, nigga it's 1999
Shit out of control, sign of the times
I ain't had this much fun since '79
I was only eight then, hadn't been to the pen
Just a young nigga on the front of a swing
Playing football up in Powly High
Too young to ride but it's still Eastside
Homicides didn't happen much, niggas wasn't rapping much
It's 99 nigga, shit, I know you strapping up
Hell motherfucking yeah, nigga wanna see the end
So next year we can do it all again
Same dogg channel, same dogg time
Only the strong will survive in 99
So much drama and delusion, my conclusion is confusing
Dripping on my memories, twisted off my music
Trying to make my people do things, oh yeah we do's it, we do's it
Here's my number baby girl don't you lose it
It's smoky in this motherfucker while we cruising
And East-side niggas is the shadiest (shadiest)
But them West-side niggas is the craziest (craziest)
Summertime on the grind, baby let me shine, let me shine
Roll with this shit, I'm cold with this shit in my prime
Nigga done time and I never dropped a motherfucking dime
Be smart, fresh start is all you need
First thing first, cause, stop smoking cess weed
You are what you smoke, nigga stop hating
That's why you broke and that's why we celebrating
But life's so hard on a G, that's what they all say
But somehow someway, better days ahead, Freddy's dead
And Betty said Eddie's a fed
Sweaty in bed with a nine to his head
And he fucking with this hood-rat that he met up in dance
Betty getting mad cause Eddie wanna share
But look at how you living for a minute then compare
I love confetti, I always stay ready
Keep some killers by my side and some riders by the telli
I'm ready to do now, who now, you now
Eddie wasn't ready when they drew that, booyow
Two down, with just one gun
My nigga, and who said killin wasn't no fun
I sit alone in the zone with a face of stone
Live the life of Al Capone or Don Coroleone
Tragically casualties and fatalities
And all kinds of funny ass niggas coming after me
My grand pappy once sat me on his lap and he said
Sonny get your money 'fore you end up dead
I never really understood what he said
Until my motherfucking dogg took a slug in his head
Cold way nigga gotta learn his lesson
Slow down and go down, shit you know now
Be smart, fresh start is all you need
First things first cuz, stop smokin cess weed
You are what you smoke, my nigga stop hating
That's why you broke and that's why we celebrating
But life's so hard on a G, that's what they all say
But somehow someway, you got to make a better way
(Somehow someway)
You got to make a better way
(You got to make a better way)
You got to make a better way
(You got to make a better way)
You got to make a better way
(You got to make a better way)
You got to make a better way
(Yeah, better days ahead)
Better days ahead
(Better days ahead)
Better days ahead
That's real.
I feel your pain nigga.
I used to be just like you nigga.
Before I got off in this rap shit.
Shit, nigga did anything to get a dollar.
You know, but one thing I never did do.
I ain't never beg a nigga for nothing or ask a nigga for nothing.
I went out and got my own ya feel me?
So from me to you, man to man.
Better days ahead my nigga.
Shit, keep the faith and get your hustle on.
Cause I'm a get mine regardless.
Nigga whether I'm rapping or on the streets.
I gotta have it.

<@#Snoop_Dogg_Cant_Say_Goodbye.txt#@>
[Chorus]
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family
Fighting these precious in my life
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammy's
But these streets won't say a goodbye
I can't say goodbye
To the blocks
Goodbye
To the hood goodbye
To the streets (to my problems)
I can't say goodbye
To the hood
Goodbye
To the blocks
Goodbye
To the streets
I can't say goodbye goodbye
To the blocks
Goodbye
To the streets
Goodbye
To the hood
I can't say goodbye
To the hood
Goodbye
To the blocks
Goodbye
To the homies
[Verse 1]
I guess it's true, you can't take the hood out a homeboy
Plus, my hood just lost another homeboy
Another one got life, and we don't know, if he coming home boy
They in the street tell me "just leave it alone boy,
Let them do them take care of your own boy"
But I said back brake a bound, before I was grown boy
You had dreams of being a dope boy
Yeah, I was runnin' from the po po
Banging for the turf, late night huntin'
Puttin' me in work, good day comin', airbrush, shirt,
Pay day, get the spot, got my hair cut first
Made mom sick when I wouldn't go to church
Yeah I live in the burbs, but I think 21st
I know since I left that it's gotten much worse
But I'd still be there, if I couldn't write a verse
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
To the the blocks that raise me, the enemies and the homies that made me,
Tough enough to hang on the corners that would mold me
Critics wonder if I'm tryna be the old me,
But if the thing the old me ever left, then they don't really know me,
And don't know, we don't change, we just become OG, you always addicted
To the life, you just don't OD, I don't owe shit to the streets before they
owe me
Took me in when my moma didn't want me, to wild to be a child, and pops
Not around now, all I got now is the homies, to teach me, how to be a man
In what not, how to brake ounces in the grams and what not
The reason I'm so nice with my hands and what not shit, you think I forgot,
man
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Thank good every day that the boy could spit
And all around the world they enjoyin' my shit
I know I got plenty more wars to get
I got a, beautiful wife and some gorgeous kids
But it wouldn't be right if I ignore the shit
They made me how I am, the music in the man
Told me that I can for the world gave a damn
If it wasn't for my shit, they sayin' stick to the plan
Probably be a gun instead of a pen in my hand
Probably be doin' a dub and the pen with my man
The say leaders streets but they don't really understand
All I had was the block, when I didn't have fans
Wrapped on the corners when I couldn't get spins
All I had was the homies when I didn't have kids
If it all come down and my career was to end, I'm sure my name
Would live... In the streets
[Chorus]
I just can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
I can't say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
I can't say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
I can't say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
You can take the man out the streets,
But you can't take the streets out the man

Ahh, used to be a hard kid
Rhyme a rhyme and tap this
Sippin' silver satin while we smoked on the pin head
A couch was a nigga bed
Mary kept a nigga fed
Twenty first a nigga, yeah that's where a nigga live
I'm on the GA and fucked the D.A.
Why? Cause the railroad the homie easy
And just cause the didn't know what (Whasup)
I'm on a motherfuckin mission to come up, come up

[1]- I feel like givin' it up
We all like livin' it up [Repeat: x2]
[2]- When Doggy Dogg comes
You better answer
[Part 1 overlaps Part 2]
We are living in a world
Where anything can go at anytime
And if you ain't up on the game
Then I suggest you rearrange
'Cause change gone come
And it ain't waitin' on no one
They got me plottin' from the bottom
With the ??? ain't no stopin'
And all I want for Christmas is forty city hoppin'
Is the to much to ask fo', oh no
And I heard through the East side you spend to get some dough
So when you get your funk, go take to the store
Take it to daddy rap cause he's a professional
Guaranteed to get your shit up off the floor
Beach city rider you know, for sure
You see that what flossin' is all about
The tightest rider gone turn it out
Bouncin', swirving and looking cute
Dogg Pound out the moon, Johnny longing for soup
[Chorus: x2]
Everybody in my family is nervous and waitin'
How can I be patience?
Look at what I'm facin'
They ain't the ones that gonna be riding to the station
So it what it all boils down to just some inspiration
Interpretation, the conversation you had with the judge
Of all judges budge this
And put it in perspective all praises due, true
We are living in a world
Where anything can go at anytime
And if you ain't up on the game
Then I suggest you rearrange
'Cause change gone come
And it ain't waitin' on no one
For all the drama I done went through
To get this to ya
How do I think I was gone do ya
Have you been mislead, since I asked you all to creep with me
You coulndn't be cause ever since its been DP
LB-B.S chronic in my chest
Deathrow doggystyle holding down the west
With a shot of what gangstas drink
And a took off for a choke off, the most kept my G's off a toast
And keep LBC singing y'all, DP ginging y'all
We and y'all face it all
Times living it up
Snoop Dogg again and you know I'm just giving it up

You better answer (you better answer) [Repeat: x15]

This is for the Gz, and this is for the Hustlas
This is for the hustlas now back to the Gz
Freeze, at ease, now let me drop some more of them keys
It's 19-9-tre so let me just play
It's Snoop Dogg, I'm on the mic, I'm back with Dr. Dre
But this time I'ma hit yo' ass with a touch
To leave motherfuckers in a daze, fucked up
So sit back relax new jacks get smacked
It's Snoop Doggy Dogg I'm at the top of the stack
I don't lack for a second, and I'm still checking
The dopest motherfucker that ya hearing on the record
It's me, ya see, S-N-double-O-P
D-O-double-G-why, the D-O-double-G
I'm fly as a falcon, soaring through the sky
And I'm high till I dizzie, rizzide
So check it, I get busy, I make your head dizzy
I blow up your mouth like I was Dizzy Gillespie
I'm crazy, you can't phase me
I'm the S oh yes, I'm fresh, I don't fuck with the stress
I'm all about the chronic, bionic ya see
Every single day, chilling with the D-O-double-G's
P-O-you-N-D that's my clique, my crew
Ya fuck with us, we gots to fuck you up
I thought ya knew, but yet and still
Ya want to get real, now it's time to peel, ya say chill
And feel, the motherfucking realism
Snoop Doggy Dogg is on the mic I'm hitting hard as steel nigga
[Chorus]
How many hoes in your motherfucking group
Want to take a ride in my 7-8 Coupe, DeVille
Chill, as I take you on a trip
Where them niggas ride, and slide, you know about the East Side
Niggas like myself, here to show you where it's at
With my hoes on my side, and my strap on my back
Papers I stack daily, and Death Row is still the label that pays me
But you know how that goes
We flow toe for toe, if you ain't on the Row
Fuck you and your hoe, really doe, so check it
It's Snoop Doggy Dogg on the solo tip
Still clocking grip, and really don't give a shit
About nothing at all, just my Doggs, stepping through the fog
And I'm still gonna fade em all
With the gangsta shit that keeps ya hanging
How many hoes in ninety-four will I be banging?
Every single one, to get the job done
As I dip, skip, flip, right back to two one
Where the sun be shining and I be ryhming
It's me, Snoop D-O-double-G, and I'm climbing
[Chorus]
I come creeping through the fog with my sagging Dukes
East Side, Long Beach, in a 7-8 Coupe DeBille
I'm rolling with the G Funk, bumping in my shit and it don't quit
So drop it on the one motherfucker put together that set
A nigga with a grip of that gangsta shit
With the Eastside hoes on my motherfucking dick
And the Compton niggas all about to set trip
Swing it back, bring it back, just like this
And if you with my shit, then blaze up another spliff
And keep the motherfucking blunt in your pocket loc
'cause Doggy Dogg is all about the zig zag smoke
See it's a West coast thing, where I'm from
And if you want some, get some, bad enough, take some
But watch the gun by my side
Because it represents me and the motherfucking East Side
So bow down to the bow wow, cause bow wow
Yippie yo, you can't see my flow
My shit is dope, original, now you know
And can't no hood fuck with Death Rizzow
[Chorus]
<@#Soundgarden_Black_Saturday.txt#@>
Promise something,
Kill me right away if I start to get slow
And don't remember
How to separate the worm from the apple
Don't wait 'til tomorrow,
Kill me right away if I start to listen
To the voices
Telling all the mouths what they need to swallow
Do that for me, it's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory of me ever breathing
'Til I'm born again
I was thirsty,
I remember that you gave me some water
I was angry
Everything at once you gave me no trouble
I was crying,
I remember that you gave me your shoulder
Do that for me, it's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory of me ever breathing
'Til I'm born again, born again
Do that for me, it's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory of me ever breathing
'Til I'm born again, born again, born again, born again

Run away
Now it's Halloween
Shave your head and burn your sheets
Evil could be right next door
What do blind dogs believe?
I don't want to know
Blind
Following blind
Run away
Now it's Halloween
The safe bet is on your knees
Bow your head to the Trinity
That's what blind dogs believe
But I've heard that before
Dead on my feet
While my nightmare walks
I fell asleep
Where the freeway talks
Suffer to swim and dying to sink
These things in the air
They will make you think
Make you think
Make you think
<@#Soundgarden_Blow_Up_The_Outside_World.txt#@>
Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible I know
I've givin' everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside world
Someone tried to tell me something
Don't let the world get you down
Nothing will do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help
Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it's wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside world
<@#Soundgarden_Holy_Water.txt#@>
Holy water on the brain
And I'm losing sleep
Holy bible on the night stand
Next to me
As I'm raped by another
Monkey circus freak
Trying to take my
Indigence away from me
Holy water is rusting me
Bloody murder is the best
I've heard her scream
Holy devil in the flesh
Some might believe
And they take thine
Majesty so seriously
It's the big lies
That are more likely to be believed
Holy water is rusting me
Damn the water if it's life
You want to drink
Mind your mother if
It makes you feel at ease
As you're raped by another
Monkey circus freak
It's the big lies that are
More likely to be believed
<@#Soundgarden_Jesus_Christ_Pose.txt#@>
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
Like you've been carrying a load
And you swear to me
You don't want to be my slave
But you're staring at me
Like I need to be saved
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud
Like it's the coming of the Lord
And I swear to you
That I would never feed you pain
But your staring at me
Like I'm driving the nails
In your Jesus Christ pose
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out like it's
The coming of the Lord
And would it pay you more to walk on water
Then to wear a crown of thorns
It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich
Then to bury you poor
In your Jesus Christ pose
<@#Soundgarden_Like_Suicide.txt#@>
Heard it from another room
Eyes were making up just to fall asleep
Love's like suicide
Dazed out in a garden bed
With a broken neck lays my broken gift
Just like suicide
And my last ditch
Was my last brick
Lent to finish her
Finish her
Bit down on the bullet now
I had a taste so sour
I had to think of something sweet
Love's like suicide
Safe outside my gilded cage
With an ounce of pain
I wield a ton of rage
Just like suicide
With eyes of blood
And bitter blue
How I feel for you
I feel for you
She lived like a murder
How she'd fly so sweetly
She lived like a murder
But she died
Just like suicide
<@#Soundgarden_No_Attention.txt#@>
I've got war on my mind blood on my hands
And love on my head
So open your hands open your mouth
Let it be said
You know I've got it made in my mind
Don't waste my time it's not going to change
So say what you want spit it out loud
And I'll pay no attention
They're gonna tell you where to walk
When to smile and just what to say
They say have your own flu
Make your own mind
And don't make waves
But if you got a handful of change
Don't throw it away it's gonna come
So say what you want, suck all my
Suck on my brain

If this isn't what you see
It doesn't make you blind
If this doesn't make you feel
It doesn't mean you've died
Where the river's high

If you don't want to be seen
Well you don't have to hide
And if you don't want to believe
Well you don't have to try
To feel alive

Alive in the superunknown
Alive in the superunknown
Alive in the superunknown
First it steals your mind
And then it steals your soul
If this doesn't make you free
It doesn't mean you're tied
If this doesn't take you down
It doesn't mean you're high
If this doesn't make you smile
You don't have to cry
If this isn't making sense
It doesn't make it lies

Get yourself afraid
Get yourself alone
Get yourself contained
Get yourself control

She looked at me with dignity
She said there's something you gotta see
Even though this country's headed for war
This nation is prouder than ever before
Yeah that was spirit in the air
We're more American than anywhere
And I just smile cause I could tell
This little girl was going to
Hell
Now I wouldn't mind
If you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright
Yeah now deep inside
Feel alright
Hey, all the warmth in her heart
Couldn't keep my blood from running cold
Cause I fell for her looks
Now I want to go for her throne
I tried to tell her a thousand times
But little girl didn't understand at all
Now I wouldn't mind
If you swallow my pride
Make me feel alright
Yeah now deep inside
Feel alright
Alright
You can swallow my pride
Now I wouldn't mind
If you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright, deep inside
Feel alright
Pride... pride... pride
You can swallow my pride

Flirting with disaster
You're the one I'm after
Think I found my destiny
Luxury and danger
Rapture me my stranger
Hold me close, don't let me be
I could fly on the wings of my heart
Deep inside, I've been falling apart
L-L-Love, There's a magic in you
And I'll be under your spell, L-L-Love
Crezy, hazy feeling
You're the thief I'm stealing
Locked you up and lost the key
Flying on the wings,
Flying on the wings,
Flying on the wings of my heart
I could fly on the wings of my heart
Deep inside, I've been falling apart
L-L-Love, There's a magic in you
And I'll be under your spell, L-L-Love
Need your touch, it's what I'm after
Fatal kiss, your embrace
You got me baby, You've got me baby

Matthew didn't stay home, he went abroad instead
Journeys to glory breathing in his head
Got caught up with shoe horns but he couldn't get a shine
Matthew bought the rap and read the map without a sign
Contort yourself on disco
With a rap trap white and brown
Caught within the spinning
The key chain gang went down
No coffee club will have the rub
When product is your answer
Discuss the man, he'll break your plan
It's deep within the dancer
Wear it on your back now and summarize your vision on the train
And through the strain, your own soul decision
Well, she had a certain shimmer, she sleeps with him tonight
Stifled love decides where I'm dreaming
No coffee club will have the rub
When product is your answer
Discuss the man, he'll break your plan
It's deep within the dancer

We have no way to see eye to eye
Through all the walls in their mind
These are the pleasures that terrify
So leave them behind
You keep the chains that are in your life
We'll take flight of the dove
There's only one way to satisfy
This feeling that's love
And I'll say it again, and I'll say it again
And if the power comes between us
Oh, I'll know what to do,
I'm gonna say it to you
Cross the line tonight,
Take this chance and show your might,
All the world's on the other side,
Cross the line
Raise a flag to a moral crime,
We'll light a fire for this,
Make the papers by morning time
And lay in our bliss
So come on darling and share my mind,
There is no need to stay hid
'cause all we are now is two of a kind
Can you believe what we did?
And I'll say it again, oh, and I'll say it again
That when the power comes between us
Oh, I'll know what to do,
I'm gonna say it to you
Cross the line tonight
Take this chance and show your might
All world's on the other side
Cross the line
Mother come to me now,
Take this hand now, I'm afraid
Mother, come to me
I'm bleeding
We had no way to see eye to eye
Through all the walls in their mind
These were the pleasures that terrified
We left them behind
And I'll say it again, and I'll say it again
And if the power comes between us
Oh, I'll know what to do,
I'm gonna say it to you
Cross the line tonight,
Take this chance and show your might,
All the world's on the other side,
Cross the line

Glow, take out this foreign heart
Wash off the sand that seeps out through my eyes
I've still sleep in my eyes
Cold, cold's how we felt so long
Accuse me of crying and speaking of lies
I've still sleep in my eyes, I've still sleep in my eyes
Glow like a lover
Out, out is the winter pale
Gold rising June in the blue of my eye
I've still sleep in my eyes
Glow, this is my family
Send for the soul you can soon realize
I've still sleep in my eyes, I've still sleep in my eyes
Glow like a lover
Glow, take out this foreign heart
Wash off the sand that seeps out through my eyes
I've still sleep in my eyes
Cold, cold's how we felt so long
Accuse me of crying and speaking of lies
I've still sleep in my eyes, I've still sleep in my eyes
Glow like a lover

Be careful what you say,
Loose talk could sink this ship
Well the way that I am as weak as a lamb,
See it on my shaky lip
There's more to these actions,
That you could ever know
With the moon and the tide I'm drawn to your side
And moving with the flow
When it's time to choose and it's sink or swim,
I know I'll drown this time
When the cold wind blows and I'm falling in,
Throw the line
Now I'm swept,
And I'm lost within my mind
On a love that makes me blind
And this feeling I just can't forget,
Now I'm swept
On a tide that's in my soul
And this feeling that I have is losing me control
And I hope it doesn't end just yet,
Now I'm swept
Mind over matter,
No matter where this mind will be
There's more to be said, oh, for games in the head
Than anything you'll ever see
There's safety in dreaming,
So wrap me in things that I know
With my head in the sand,
I'm at your command
And moving with the flow
When it's time to choose and it's sink or swim,
I know I'll drown this time
When the cold wind blows and I'm falling in,
Throw the line
Now I'm swept,
And I'm lost within my mind
On a love that makes me blind
And this feeling I just can't forget,
Now I'm swept
On a tide that's in my soul
And this feeling that I have is losing me control
And I hope it doesn't end just yet,
Now I'm swept

There's a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was
And there's ash in the pages
Now I've got myself lost
I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye
With the way that you left me
I can hardly contain
The hurt and the anger
And the joy of the pain
Now knowing I am single
They'll be fire in my eyes
And a stain on my notebook
For a new love tonight
From the lips without passion
To the lips with a kiss
There's nothing of your love
That I'll ever miss
The stain on my notebook
Remain all that's left
Of the memory of late nights
And coffee in bed
Now she's gone
And I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
Now she's gone
And I'm out with a friend
With lips full of passion
And coffee in bed
<@#Squeeze_Cold_Shoulder.txt#@>
My head was stuck in the cat flap on the door
Where I could see her walking on the kitchen floor
Down on my knees
Just like a dog
Begging for scraps that she said she hadn't got
She took her pen she poked me in the eye
As through the lock I looked to see my world inside
I kicked and swore
Void of all brain
I couldn't see that I was the one to blame
Cold shoulder
Like a slaughtered cow in a butcher's fridge
Cold shoulder
She had laid the plans where we built our bridge
To a better life
Cold shoulder
I had been chased by a hairbrush that she threw
Life was blurred when the hand of fate came into view
It smacked my face
I was released
I came back home where life became a feast
Cold shoulder
Like a slaughtered cow in a butcher's fridge
Cold shoulder
She had laid the plans where we built our bridge
To a better life
Cold shoulder
Then I fell over
Into a bush
<@#Squeeze_Donkey_Talk.txt#@>
Donkey talk
I can hear the donkey talk
Words chained out in a line
Loads of reason not much rhyme
Finger drumming beats behind
Donkey talk most of the time
The conversation peters out
So you stare down at your shoes
There's not much more to talk about
When the silence is confused
Then our eyes suddenly meet
And we choose to look away
That's just where we are today
There's no sense in hanging round
But we stand there all the same
You find a verb I pluck a noun
As the patience starts to strain
Then our words suddenly clash
As if there's so much to say
That's just where we are today
We used to stay up all night
With our eyes all bloodshot and wonky
We would hold each other tight
And talk the back legs off a donkey
But now I'm wearing its hat
We can't even laugh at that
<@#Squeeze_F-Hole.txt#@>
I wrote her name on a bar mat
She had a peculiar bonnet,
But a youngish damsel figure
With her tongue tied to a trigger,
She seemed a total killer
Her face all filled with filler,
Her face a painting palette
I stomached all her habits,
Sipped her snow balls poshly like a judge
But left her lipstick traces on her mug.
We watched each other closely
She looks like Bela Lugosi,
She asked me for a ride home
I felt around for my comb,
And in the bar room mirror
I combed right through her figure,
She wiggled through the car park
Into the pit of my heart,
Sat herself beside me in my van
A ring on every finger of her hand.
She lived down by the river
A flat the council give her,
Wallpaper very scenic
Her outlook very beatnik,
We watched the close and weather
Then through the door he entered,
Short sleeves and arms of iron
And me with just my tie on,
She said the lodger's used to this by now
I'd handled all the bull but not the cow.
Behind her velvet sofa
I found myself back sober,
She kept an old acoustic
She never ever used it,
A gift for me with a capo
A six string with an f-hole,
We made the strangest couple
A Laurel and Hardy double,
I learnt to play her favorite country songs
With one or two chords always going wrong
<@#Squeeze_Love_Circles.txt#@>
The first circle comes around
You don't want to leave her side
You're staying in and don't go out
You're having such a perfect time
You make your bed and you lie in it
And time is precious every minute
The next circle comes around
And so domestic you become
In your matching dressing gowns
You think your life time's just begun
You cut the cake but just the one slice
You're crawling back all through the night
Love circles up above
It waits until your love
Breaks down and weeps
Then it's out of your reach
Love circles up above
It waits for your love
Down on the floor
Then you're there in its claws
Love circles up above
The last circle comes around
You're making plans to fill your days
You're always wanting to stay out late
And you can feel love start to fade
You fall asleep or read a book
The phone goes back upon the hook
When I lay awake at night
And love can't be found
The first circle's on my mind
It goes round and round and round and round
<@#Squeeze_Loving_You_Tonight.txt#@>
The full moon's glowing
Blood red in the sky
It hangs like fire
On this winter's night
I sit on feelings
That hang in suspense
Nothing in my life makes sense
A question mark hangs with the stars up above
As I'm driving home to the one that I love
Sometimes I can't see the trees for the wood
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight
The moonlight changes
From red into white
It sits on treetops
Asleep for the night
I see the signpost
The road slowly bends
Nothing in my life makes sense
A flashing tail light speeds across the sky
My head's cooking trouble as thoughts seem to fry
The last temptation was misunderstood
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight
I'm faced with the ultimate truth
What if I see that things don't improve
I know they could
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
The sun is rising
There's mist all around
She sleeps beside me
And I feel so proud
Am I in heaven
With her by my side
This is how love feels tonight
Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight
<@#Squeeze_Piccadilly.txt#@>
She's not a picture above somebody's fire
She sits in a towel with a purple hair dryer,
She waits to get even with me.
She hooks up her cupcakes and puts on her jumper
Explains that she'll be late to a worrying mother,
She meets me in Piccadilly.
A begging folk singer stands tall by the entrance
His song relays worlds of most good intentions,
A fiver a ten p in his hat for collection.
She talks about office she talks about dresses
She's seen one she fancies her smile is impressing,
So maybe I'll treat her someday.
We queue among strangers and strange conversation
Love's on the lips of all forms of engagements,
All queuing to see tonight's play.
A man behind me talks to his young lady
He's happy that she is expecting his baby,
His wife won't be pleased but she's not been round lately.
The girl was so dreadful we left in a hurry
We escaped in the rain for an Indian curry,
At the candle lit Taj Mahal.
My lips to a napkin I called for a taxi
The invite of eyes made it tense but relaxed me,
My mind took a devious role.
The cab took us home through a night I'd not noticed
The neon club lights of adult films and Trini Lopez,
My arm around love but my acting was hopeless.
We crept like two thieves from the kettle to the fire
We kissed to the sound of the silence that we'd hired,
Now captured, your love in my arms.
A door opened slightly a voice spoke in worry
Mum went to bed without wind of the curry,
Our secret love made its advance.
Like Adam and Eve we took bite on the apple
Loose change in my pocket it started to rattle,
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle.
<@#Squeeze_Rose_I_Said.txt#@>
Yes I cried the moment that her hand slapped my face
A mouth full of sandwich went all over the place
She left like a tornado the door of course slammed
I stood in the kitchen a very confused man
The thump thump of her foot steps went right up the stairs
The cat ran for cover to the living room chairs
But what was the problem what on earth could be wrong
To deserve a slapped face it all seemed far too strong
Rose I said, heaven knows what we've done
Rose I said, water flows under the bridge
Rose I said, heaven knows is this love
Rose I said, curtains close back to read the script
Up to the bedside where she lay in tears
The drawers were left half open, her clothes laying near
A suitcase tipped sideways at the end of the room
I swallowed my sandwich and picked up her boots
She turned just like an actress, a glare came my way
I said what's the matter, what have I done today
She spat out the name of the girl across the road
I'll never forget the way she flared her nose
Rose was the girl who some days I'd drive to work
She worked in the office as an articled clerk
Sometimes we had lunch in the pub along the street
There was nothing between us, just good company
I admit that I liked her but that's all it was
I stood at the bedside in a state of shock
She heard it different from a friend she met today
Who says she saw us kissing down an alleyway
I felt like two people a Jekyll and a Hyde
I'd really made my bed to lay in this time
I picked with my tongue at the bread stuck in my teeth
There through the window, her house on the street
I knew I was guilty, I told myself to lie
It seemed to make no differen
<@#Squeeze_Striking_Matches.txt#@>
Striking matches and I'm smoking cigarettes
Putting on the kettle, playing a cassette
Folding up the papers rubbing my eyes
Thinking of all that had happened last night
The passion, the feelings that soaked in her love
And the pools of silence when kisses were sprung
Her love levitates me, I'm walking on air
Two feet from the carpet, I'll always be there
Oh I'm striking matches it's morning again
I look in the mirror i still look the same
I'm striking matches it's morning again
I look in the mirror i go up in flames
Striking matches getting a flame on the stove
There's some of her in the teeth of my comb
Dirty clothes piled up on the bathroom floor
She's silently sleeping, i half close the door
I see her beauty laying on my bed
I'm warm from within me with what she has said
Her love is my balloon, i won't let it down
For ever and ever I'll always be proud.
I'm a director casting for a part
(turn on the light)
It's for a soap set here right in my heart.
(leave her alone)
Shuffle to the window shuffle to the door
(don't wake her up)
She gets the part i don't want to see anymore
(unplug the phone)
<@#Squeeze_Take_Me_Im_Yours.txt#@>
I've come across the desert
To greet you with a smile
My camel looks so tired
It's hardly worth my while
To tell you of my travels
Across the golden east
I see your preparations
Invite me first to the feast
Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be
A heaven in your kiss
Amusing belly dancers
Distract me from my wine
Across Tibetan mountains
Are memories of mine
I've stood some ghostly moments
With natives in the hills
Recorded here on paper
My chills and thrills and spills
Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be
A heaven in your kiss
It's really been some welcome
You never seem to change
A grape to tempt your leisure
Romantic gestures strange
My eagle flies tomorrow
It's a game I treasure dear
To seek the helpless future
My love at last I'm here
Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be
A heaven in your kiss
<@#Squeeze_There_Is_A_Voice.txt#@>
There is a voice within us all
That says destruct
Go to the wall
And you can't choose when this voice speaks
Deep in our souls
This voice will sleep
There is a voice within us all
That says destruct
And you will crawl
From your own pit into the deep
Where you will sink
Until it speaks
Each day is a night
Then your lifetime is gone
There is a voice inside us all
That says rebuild
And when it's called
All that is wrong can be put right
There in your soul
To change your life
Each day's a hope each day's a prayer
That I might build
And I'll repair
The parts in me that may have slipped
Deep in my soul
When I lose my grip
And there's ropes and chains
Slowing me as I walk
I feel hope through pain
As the road ahead forks
To the left and the right
To the right and the wrong
<@#Squeeze_Vicky_Verky.txt#@>
With her hair up in his fingers
The fish and chips smell lingers
Under amber streetlamps
She holds the law in her hands
The moistness of the damp night
Falls silent through the lamplight
Although she's only fourteen
She really knows her courting
And up the railway sidings
There's him and her
They're lying
Hand in hand they whisper
You're my missus and I'm your mister
The moon as white and virgin
And she was on the turning
Remember your first nibble
When best friends were so little
They really trooped the colors
When walking with each other
And all her mates would giggle
As ladylike she'd wiggle
All along the high street
They'd splash out on an ice cream
He'd sometimes really treat her
But he'd done his mother's meter
Well he went off to borstal
He said that he was forced to
Rob the flats of hi fi's
'cause she was ill
And she would cry
Each morning she got sicker
Her mother sometimes hit her
If she'd have known the story
She would have been so sorry
He received a letter and admitted it
There was nothing else to do but get rid of it
Lonely in his dormitory
He'd sit and stare
If this is for real
And is it really fair
Summer came so they went
Down to the coast in his tent
She cooked upon his primus
And sampled local cider
She told him in his rucksack
I think i want that chance back
To be perhaps the one who
Will forever love you

The crown of the kingdom is given to the woman
The kingdom of the kitchen where she says she shouldn't,
There on the stainless steel her cigarettes and matches
Whistles to the radio to every hook she catches,
But the frowns
Eider downs,
Tie her down
But she likes to wear the crown of the kingdom.
She like the recipes a touch of oriental
Steaming up the windows burning egg on metal,
Sees in a catalogue a shiny new appliance
Another role swallowed by the wonders of science,
Lobster hands
Omelette pans,
Understand
How the crown can stick like jam in her kingdom.
He's been so busy and she's been neglected,
The problem is computed and always it's rejected,
Out of her heart I catch a spark,
And being smart
The crown is left out in the dark now there's no kingdom.
Fed up with the glory she abdicates her title
Sitting at a bar stool she gives her day's recital,
The family watch in horror
As she staggers up the hallway
Makes herself a sandwich
As they're looking through the doorway,
She goes to bed
Leg by leg,
Nothing's said
There's no crown upon her head there's no kingdom.
Press the button on the toaster
It's a woman's world,
Tuck the sheets in on the bed
It's a woman's world,
Take your apron from your holster
It's a woman's world,
Shoot the crown off of your head
It's a woman's world.

Across the ocean she's been waiting to hear
If love's a secret to all the things she fears
Was it tiptoe around my pillow talk
They'll come the only boy she had with any thought
The heart pretends I'm not so far away
She said tomorrow and I'm here today
I miss her now and I say it's only true
I feel like I'm on the wrong side of the moon
(Wrong side of the moon)
I'm forgettin' to remember to forget
All the memories locked in my head
I'll be home then you'll hear what I say
It seems forever started only yesterday
My heart keeps time which passes very slow
When you're lonely without a place to go
I've got the lonesome ocean blues
I feel like I'm on the wrong side of the moon
(Wrong side of the moon)
Across the ocean there's a heart that beats for me
Beat, beating, waiting patiently
Pulls us together when we're apart
Keeps the devil from playing with your heart
But I'll pretend we're not so far away
I'm home tomorrow or maybe it's today
Across the ocean there's nothing else to do
It feels like you're on the wrong side of the moon
(Wrong side of the moon) Wrong side of the moon
(Wrong side of the moon)Wrong side of the moon
(Wrong side of the moon)
(Wrong side of the moon)

Turn me around, Don't let me walk out forever
If there's a chance, the slightest chance, darling never say never
You know it's out of my hands
Cause I'm in way over my head
But it won't take me too long
You could blink and I'll be gone
In your dark oversight
There must be one last breath of our life
[Chorus]
Now if there's something I can say
To make you see it half my way
Just tell me once, before I go
And if there's something I can do to make it all back up to you
Just tell me once, before I go
Angel of pride
Girl, won't you come and release me
Is it such a crime, oh, such a crime
To surrender so easy
You know how hard I've tried
Well, maybe I've tried too damn hard
But it won't take you long, you can break this liaison
[Chorus]
I don't know where this road ever ends
The point of existence, your die-hard resistance
And I don't know where the shoulder begins
And gravity crumbles, tenacity tumbles
But it won't take me long
You could blink and I'll be gone
In your dark oversight
There must be one last breath of our life
[Chorus]
And if there's something I can say
To make you, make you see it half my way
Just tell me once, before I go, before I go
Ooh, tell me once before I go
If there, if there's something I can say to make you see it half my way,
Tell me, tell me
If there's something I can say, oh, now baby, to make you turn
Around

We've got one foot on the rock, and one foot over the line
This love, this love's not turning back
Well I don't know about you, but me I'm following that
Late at night, watching you sleep, and I know inside, I'm over the edge
I'm goin' down, down, down, in a blaze of love, in a blaze of love
I'm goin' down, down, down, in a blaze of love, in a blaze of love
Oh you, you can run away
You can shatter my world, scatter my dreams all over the place
But I, I've grown to love these chains
You can tear 'em apart but I don't want to escape
I close my eyes, picture your smile and I know inside, I'm over the edge
I'm goin' down, down, down, in a blaze of love, in a blaze of love
I'm goin' down, down, down, in a blaze of love, blaze of love

And so called friends aren't there to rely on
When the darkness makes it so hard to see
Just lift up your eyes, you will see me, yeah
And I'll give a good heart, to hold you so strong
I'll give you my shoulder to lean on, yeah
Gonna give a good heart, that's solid and true
And I will always stand by you
When it seems no one's there to turn to
Everyone's a stranger passing through
And all that's left is a broken dream
Just hold out your hand, reach out for me, yeah
And I'll give a good heart, to hold you so strong
I'll give you my shoulder to lean on, yeah
Give a good heart, that's solid and true

Now there's no need to dance alone
In these arms you found your home
Ooh, whoa oh oh, give a good heart

People need their reasons
Reasons to live and reasons to die
Just something to believe in
Whatever it takes to get through the night
When the road just leads to nowhere
And your faith can't follow through
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
Black is black and white is white
And the blues are sometimes gray
When you hurt and you don't know why
And your tears won't go away
There's a rainbow out there somewhere
And one thing is always true
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you, when hope seems thin and your chances are few
I'll be there for you, I'll share the pain and be someone to hold
And there's so much more I can do, I'll be there for you
We could talk forever
There's reasons to stay and reasons to go
But while we're here together
I might as well make my intentions known
There's a light that shines in my window
It's a place you can run back to
And I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you, when hope seems thin and your chances are few
I'll be there for you, when the outside world turns your inside cold
And no one will tell you the truth, I'll be there for you
And if the day should come in this lifetime (I will be there)
I hope one mornin' you'll wake up to find
Anyone with half a heart could see, we might cross this great divide
When the road just leads to nowhere
And faith can't follow through
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you, when hope seems thin and your chances are few
I'll be there for you, I'll share the pain and be someone to hold
There's so much more I can do, so much more
Baby I'll be there for you, yes I will, you know that
I will be there for you, yes I will, I will be there (I'll be there for you)
I will be there (I'll be there for you)
(I'll be there for you) Don't you worry baby

You're a vision of hope in a world come undone
When the feeling is strong and you know that you love someone
Make it tonight, make it forever and a day
Baby reach out to me, baby reach out to me
And tell me when it's right

Say when, when love can steal your soul
Say when, when love can take control
Say when, when love can make you whole
Just, say when, just, say when

I stand in the dark all alone in my room
And I stretch out these arms to a girl on the moon
Make it tonight, make it forever and a day
Baby reach out to me, baby reach out to me, come on reach out to me

You already made up your mind
Just who you're looking for and what kind of love you'll find
Holding out for a dream
But I can see you're lonely, living isn't only a fantasy
I don't fit into your plans, but you can reach for my hands
Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, I'm holding you and it feels so right
I know you didn't plan it this way, let yourself go if you want to stay
It's all right, 'cause tomorrow doesn't matter tonight
Really hate to see you confused
I want no promises, so what have you got to lose
When you look in my eyes
Don't think about tomorrow, this feeling isn't meant to be analyzed
Why should you be all alone 'til your heart finds a home
Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, I'm holding you and it feels so right
I know you didn't plan it this way, let yourself go if you want to stay
It's all right, 'cause tomorrow doesn't matter tonight
(Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, tomorrow) Let yourself go!
(Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, tomorrow)
Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight, I'm holding you and it feels so right
I know you didn't plan it this way, let yourself go if you want to stay
It's all right
Tomorrow doesn't matter at all, I'm holding you and it feels so right
I know you didn't plan it this way, let yourself go if you want to stay
It's all right, tomorrow doesn't matter tonight

Don't know just where you are, just know that you're too far
There's only one thing I can do
Chorus:
Gonna send my love to you (Transatlantic)
Beam my message through
Gonna find your frequency (Transatlantic)
Send it E.S.P.
through the static in the air, I will transmit that I care
Do you read me loud and clear, yes that's my heartbeat that you hear
No phone no radio, the telegram's too slow
I'm going crazy without you
Gonna send my love to you (Transatlantic)
Beam my message through
Gonna find your frequency (Transatlantic)
Send it E.S.P.
S.O.S, in distress
Close my eyes for your reply
Do you read me
Will you reach me
Transistor tube and microchip
Won't bring me closer to your lips
Send a kiss out through the night
Like a laser beam of light
No underwater train, no supersonic rain
Is fast enough to get to you
Gonna send my love to you (Transatlantic)
Beam my message through
Gonna find your frequency (Transatlantic)
Will you
Will you read me
Send my love (Transatlantic)
I want to know
Do you read me

Throw away your old address book
Of the guys you used to know
Get all dressed up in your best look
I'll take you to the movie show
You look lovely when you're angry
But I love the way you smile
We could while away the hours
Or we could walk another mile
My darling, don't you ever change
I don't think I'd be quite the same
I thought I was in control
I thought I was in control
If I knew then what I know now
Of the chances at the time
Didn't know that I'd be missing
A chance to lay it on the line
I could have asked you if you needed
Or maybe wanted to get out
But it didn't really matter
We got together anyhow
My darling, don't you ever change
I don't think I'd be quite the same
I thought I was in control
I thought I was in control
Threw away your old address book
Took a while to realize
You'd be better off with someone
What I mean is me and mine
So what ya doing at the weekend?
Shall we make it Friday night?
Anywhere you fancy going
And anyway with me's alright
My darling, don't you ever change
I don't think I'd be quite the same

But it comes and it goes and everybody knows
That I don't like it, no I don't like it
And when it flows and when it starts to go
Then I like it, I sure do like it
I hope the day never comes you throw it all away

Another day, I need another day

Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong

She's got to run, she's got to hide
She's got her head stuck in a sand dune
She never thinks, she never tries
She doesn't see that she's gonna pull through
She used to laugh, she used to cry
She used to play hot as the others
She used to fool, she used to fight
She loved a wind-up on a Saturday night
Don't you break down, dead in the water
Don't you leave town now, though you want to
Don't you break down, dead in the water
Dead in the water
He is the one, he has the smile
Keeping his cool across the dance floor
He moves around, he moves away
They move together the rest of the night
He hits the spot, she fits the bill
He tries it on, maybe she wants to
He books a room, a takeaway
Is this the answer to all of their problems?
Don't you break down, dead in the water
Don't you leave town now, though you want to
Don't you break down, down in the water
The longest day must end, but that's another time
Perhaps another life, we may be here again
The longest day must end, we take it as we find
But if we never try we may be here again
The longest day must end, we take it as we find
But if we never try we may be here again
She's waking up, she's in a dream
The world is gone, left her to wonder
Did it begin? When will it end?
She can't believe that it didn't come true
She needs to laugh, she needs to cry
She needs to play hot as the others
She used to fool, she used to fight
She loved a wind-up on a Saturday night
Don't you break down dead in the water
Don't you leave town now though you want to
Don't you break down
Dead in the water

You had no reason, no special reason
For saying what you said to her about me

Does everybody make the same mistakes too?

And loved me just for fun
But some day when I'm older too
I'm gonna come and make fool out of you
You spend my money
And honey
You sure did waste my time
You spend my money
You drink my best red wine
You think it's funny
To see me all the time
Sitting with my head hanging down
Treating me like a clown
You spend my money
Come on honey don't waste my time

Asked my girl what she wanted from me
She said everything that I can see
I said baby what d'you think of me
And she said nothing at all
So I sit here waiting patiently
To see if there will be a change or three
I think that baby she is using me
It doesn't matter at all
And now I'm wondering which way to go
So it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it right
Yes it's a hard time for us all, be some kind of fight
She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again
Now I think of all the times we had
Yeah, of all the good and all the bad
I sometimes think that maybe I've been had
It doesn't matter at all
And now I'm wondering which way to go
So it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it right
Yes it's a hard time for us all, be some kind of fight
She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again
Asked my girl what she wanted to be
She said everything that I can be
I said baby what d'you think of me
And she said nothing at all
And so I'm wondering which way to go
So it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it straight
Yes it's a hard time for us all, hope she's not too late
She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again,
again, again
Oh it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it right
Yes, it's a hard time for us all, be some kind of fight
She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again
and again
Oh, it's a hard time, yes, it's a hard, hard time
Now, it's a hard time, yes, it's a hard, hard time
A hard, hard time

<@#Status_Quo_Invitation.txt#@>
I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home
It was an invitation asking me to telephone
She said, it's getting lonely here
And I've been gone for close a year
I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home
She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown
With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town
Now the faces all look the same
And all the places have the same old names
But in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
It took another year before I started getting itchy toes
And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes
Well I reckon if she'd made me stay
I'd never live to see another day
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
Back home, I left the girl back home
I left the girl back home

In view of the fact that there's a rumour going round
I feel that I'd better state my case
I'd like to clear up the misunderstandings that surround
Our latest excursions into space
Why, you may ask, do I still try
And penetrate beyond the endless sky
Up high
Let me look into your eyes Josie
Count the stars along the Milky Way
I won't leave you, not tonight Josie
If you'll try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do
The way that I love you
In spite of the difficulties met with at the start
The probe will be carried out as planned
The problem is now the big question of the human heart
And what kind of stress it can withstand
Where, you may ask, will all this end?
Well I can't say I really comprehend.
Let me look into your eyes Josie
Count the stars along the Milky Way
I won't leave you, not tonight Josie
If you'll try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do
The way that I love you
When I look into your eyes Josie
The world of man is very far away
Stay with me and let me hear you say
That you'll try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do
The way that I love you

Ah well, I've got a woman and I love, love her so
She is big, fat and lazy but I want you all to know
That I love her and I need that woman so
She is my little lady and I'm glad that you all know
When she wakes in the morning and her figure tells no lies
My eyesight is broken when the light shines on her tights
But I love her and I need that woman so
Oh how can I tell you what I'd do if she should go
And I love her and I need that woman so
Oh well how can I tell you what I'd do if she should go
Ah well she is so lazy, how she moves I'll never know
She was so different eleven years ago
But I love her and I need that woman so
She's a big lakky lady but I love that woman so

Lonely man upon the shore
What on earth are you looking for?
You're protection is quite clear
And you're never really near
Will you ever find what you are looking for?
Seeing others on the shelf
Only thinking of yourself
Will you ever start to learn?
Will your pockets ever burn?
Will you ever find what you are looking for?
Look at the sky, why do you cry?
What do you see? Your misery
Look at the sky, why do you cry?
What do you see? Your misery
Lonely man, you're on your own
Find someone to take you home
A friend is what you need
Would you mind if it was me?
Maybe then you'll find what you are looking for.
Will you ever find what you are looking for?

Well I saw my little lady walking down the street

Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now I'm like a rolling stone
So I met another lady and so many more
Didn't really know which way to go

Walking alone, a street with no phone
Could I be younger most of the time?
Doing her wrong, taking so long
Should I do all things in my own time?

You're climbing mountains in the sky
You're always looking for another high
You're looking so far ahead you're looking away
I'm taking you in, you're taking me on
Your smiling face never lets you down
Where everyone who calls you friend remembers your name
And everyone who called you friend will never again
I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm feeling my way through the dark
I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm taking a walk in your heart
I've known the mountain ladies well
They live a never-ending fairytale
Where walking through another heart is all in a day
They treat me well, they treat me nice
They think that I'm gonna pay the price
So now I'm gonna put you straight, you're playing my game
I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm feeling my way through the dark
Oh, I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm taking a walk in your heart
There's never been a better reason at any time before
''cause everything that we've been feeling is now an open door
And as the snow is falling the mountains start to call
But do I feel you walking in my heart?
I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm feeling my way through the dark
And I'm taking a walk in your heart
Yeah, I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm feeling my way through the dark

<@#Status_Quo_No_Problems.txt#@>
Sitting on a corner watching half the world go by
Thinking something 'long the lines of whiskey and rye
Rolling to the left, rolling to my right
Well, anybody out there wanna help me?
Looking at a picture of the trouble and strife
Even got a picture of the Queen
Getting back to thinking 'bout the secrets of life
Will I ever find another? No, it's just a dream
Walking round in circles, oh I must have walked a mile
Trying to imagine I was putting on my style
Rolling to the left, rolling to my right
Can't you see I'm going along the wrong lines?
Searching for the person with a shoulder to cry on
Calling out to almost anyone
Have you got a secondary bed I could lie on
You'd better watch your step or you'll be first in line
Baby, baby, baby
What the hell on earth is wrong with you?
Baby, baby, baby
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Baby, baby, baby
What the hell on earth is wrong with you?
Baby, baby, baby
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Cutting back to visions taken from the silver screen
Believing I was someone I had never been
Rolling to my left, rolling to my right
Surprised the motion picture is in black and white
Sitting here alone is how it's gonna be
Will my lucky star ever shine on me?
I guess it's not a problem
That's the way it's meant to be
Oh, it's never been a problem
It's never been a problem to me
Baby, baby, baby
What the hell on earth is wrong with you?
Baby, baby, baby
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Baby, baby, baby
What the hell on earth is wrong with you?
Baby, baby, baby
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Woh, oh, oh, baby, baby, baby

Left New Hyde Park
to hold my own in New York Town
Groped in the dark
Until I faced a place where scallywags are found
Sharks and yo-yos everywhere
I think you can take it from there
Now there's a horse in town
I scream: Honey it's just a clown
Yes there's a horse in town
Saddle up and ride, ride, ride
Can you reveal
The day you came, the day you'll go
This way I feel
The time is moving much too slow
And it passes by your chair
If you laugh at my despair
[Chorus]
[Solo]
The shoes of my friend
They stamp the nail into the ground
Let's not pretend
We know we've all had fearsome style
Following my frozen trail
Moving to the inside rail
[Chorus]
<@#Steely_Dan_Aja.txt#@>
Up on the hill
People never stare
They just don't care
Chinese music under banyan trees
Here at the dude ranch above the sea
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you
Up on the hill
They've got time to burn
There's no return
Double helix in the sky tonight
Throw out the hardware
Let's do it right
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you
Up on the hill
They think I'm okay
Or so they say
Chinese music always sets me free
Angular banjoes
Sound good to me
Aja
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you

If I had my way
I would move to another lifetime
I'd quit my job
Ride the train through the misty nighttime
I'll be ready when my feet touch ground
Wherever I come down
And if the folks will have me
Then they'll have me
[Chorus]
Any world that I'm welcome to
Is better than the one I come from
I can hear your words
When you speak of what you are and have seen
I can see your hand
Reaching out through a shining daydream
Where the days and nights are not the same
Captured happy in a picture frame
Honey I will be there
Yes I'll be there
[Chorus]
I got this thing inside me
That's got to find a place to hide me
I only know I must obey
This feeling I can't explain away
I think I'll go to the park
Watch the children playing
Perhaps I'll find in my head
What my heart is saying
A vision of a child returning
A kingdom where the sky is burning
Honey I will be there
Yes I'll be there
[Chorus]

Five names that I can hardly
Stand to hear
Including yours and mine
And one more chimp who isn't here

How the times are getting hard
And that fearsome excavation
On Magnolia Boulevard

And I'm going insane
And I'm laughing at the frozen rain
And I'm so alone
Honey when they gonna send me home
Bad sneakers and a Pina Colada
My friend
Stompin' on the avenue
By Radio City with a
Transistor and a large
Sum of money to spend
You fellah, you tearin' up the street
You wear that white tuxedo
How you gonna beat the heat
Do you take me for a fool
Do you think that I don't see
That ditch out in the valley
That they're digging just for me

I hear you found a brand new friend
Well if I try to take you back again
If I decide to make amends
Don't let me in
You know, I'd like to be inside
But don't you listen when you hear me cry
Not even just to say goodbye
Don't let me in
I say no no no no, oh no
Don't let me in
I say no no no no, oh no
Don't let me in
Don't let me in
I never wanna do you harm
Don't pay no head to all my false alarm
If I should come with pleading arms
Don't let me in
You hear it knocking on your door
You pound another heart you can't ignore
But soon it isn't there no more

Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything

I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive
Can you hear the evil crowd
The lies and the laughter
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
Where no sun is shining
No red light flashing
Here in this darkness
I know what I've done
I know all at once who I am

Now you gotta tell me everything you did baby

Are you gonna tell me everything you did baby
Traces are everywhere
In our happy home
Now you better tell me everything you did baby
I jumped out of my easy chair
It was not my own
Now I want to hear about everything you did baby
I never knew you
You were a roller skater
You gonna show me later
Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening
You know how people talk
I wonder what they say
I think you better tell me everything you did baby
I never knew you
You were a roller skater
You gonna show me later
You never came to me
When you were so inclined
Yes you could have told me everything you did baby
I know where baby's at
I know your filthy mind
Now you're gonna do me everything you did baby

Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time

As long as it plays till dawn
Nothin' but blues and Elvis
And somebody else's favorite song
Give her some funked up music, she treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae, she'll love you twice
The girls don't seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right

This dream's in sight
You've got to admit it
At this point in time that it's clear
The future looks bright
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K.
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
Get your ticket to that wheel in space
While there's time
The fix is in
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
You know we've got to win
Here at home we'll play in the city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
(More leisure for artists everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

When Josie comes home to stay
We're gonna park in the street
Sleep om the beach and make it
Throw down the jam till the girls say when
Lay down the law and break it
When Josie comes home

She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire
Jo would you love to scrapple
She'll never say no
Shine up the battle apple
We'll shake 'em all down tonight
We're gonna mix in the street
Strike at the stroke of midnight
Dance on the bones till the girls say when
Pick up what's left by daylight

When Josie comes home
So bad

She's the raw flame

She prays like a Roman

Your name in lights above it
This is your big debut
It's like a dream come true
And when you smile for the camera
I know they're love it

Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you
So won't you smile for the camera
I know I'll love you better

Then the shutter falls
You see it all in 3-D
It's your favorite foreign movie

Our man Abu squeezes off twenty tracer rounds
And that's when she jumps the turnstile
And as she clings to the roof of the speeding train
The Double A down to Sheridan Square
Her cell phone rings
It's, like, her stupid father
Be in the door by ten, again
Pixeleen
Dream deep my three-times perfect ultrateen
Pixeleen
Born in the bogs of Jersey
Trained how to love and spy hard
Dropped on the streets of Roppongi
Soaked through on the floor of a noodle shop
And when Abu rams the clip in the mini-Glock
Up on the catwalk inside the warehouse
You whip a knife from the top of your go-go boot
With just a flash of spectacular thigh
Your pager starts to throb
It's your as-if boyfriend Randall
Better keep it real, or whatever
Pixeleen
Rave on my sleek and soulful cyberqueen
Pixeleen
Penned by a hack in the Palisades
Backed by some guys from Columbia
Shot all in digital video
For a million and change
Flashback to cool summer nights
Freddy can we cut to the chase?
In the room above your garage
Everything about me is different
Symmetrical and clean
This is what I see
Just a girl in girlie trouble
Dancing in the video with gun and tambourine
Pixeleen
Be good my three-times perfect ultrateen
Pixeleen
Born on the floor of a noodle shop
Dropped in the bogs of Jersey
Shot by a guy from Columbia

Pitched in a trailer in Burbank

People got to shout to stay alive
They don't even have policeman one
Doesn't matter where you been or what you've done
Do you have a dark spot on your past
Leave it to my man he'll fix it fast
Pepe has a scar from ear to ear
He will make your mug shots disappear
[Chorus]
You zombie
Be born again my friend
Won't you sign in stranger
Do you like to take a yo-yo for a ride
Zombie I can see you're qualified
Walk around collecting Turkish union dues
They will call you sir and shine your shoes
Or maybe you would like to see the show
You'll enjoy the Cafe D'Escargot
Folks are in a line around the block
Just to see her do the can-can-Jacques

Love or leave her, yellow fever
Sure, it's all in the game
And who are you
Just another scurvy brother

And I know it's getting late
I can tell from the planes of your face
That you're from out of state
But here in the willows now here's the deal
Tomorrow's for squares, tonight's for real
Drop me off in Groovetime
Do you hear the slang of ages
Show me how it's done
Now did you say you were from the Netherlands
Or was that "Netherworld"?
If you grew up in Amsterdam
Then I'm the Duke of Earl
These tabs look iffy, you say they're good
Let's roll with the homeys - knock on wood
Drop me off in Groovetime
Soothe me with the Slang of Ages
Show me where I turn
Are you all part of the Dreaming
Or the end of my life so far?
Or something half way in between
You oughta know
Hey, where'd she go?
Damn, she skipped dimensions
Was it something that I said?
Or something I was thinking
When she opened up my head?
Let me make it right baby, never mind how
There's a crazy little place I know called "Be There Now"
Drop me off in Groovetime
Do you hear the slang of ages
Show me how it's done
Drop me off in Groovetime
Soothe me with the slang of ages
This is where I turn

We're driving fast
From a dream of the past
To the brave new world
Where nothing will last
That comes from the past
It's a brave new world
Put a smile on your face
As we walk with space
In the brave new world
Now, as you begin
You're born once again
With the rising sun
Something new, nothing old
Something true, something gold
No spirit of the past
Can hold you back
From the brave new world
The direction to start
Is inside your heart
To the brave new world
If you're free in your heart
You can make a new start
It's a brave new world
There's nothing to hide
Leave your troubles behind
It's a brave new world
I told you, my friend
And I'll tell you again
Your trip has begun
Something new, nothing old
Something true, something gold
The direction to start
Is inside your heart
To the brave new world

Got a bulldog in my leer jet

I'm gonna tell you a story
'Bout ol' Mary Lou

That make a fool of you
She make a young man old
And an old man pay
The way she took my money
Was a crying shame
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar
Put a detective
On her trail
The post office thought
They'd chase her by the mail
She got picked up
And then was put in jail
Stroked the judge
Just to go her bail
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar
She left Detroit
To go to Kalamazoo
Made her a fortune
Out of fools like you
Met her a rich man
Who was married and had some kids
Stroked that cat
Until he flipped his lid
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar
She came back into town
About a week ago
Told me she's sorry
She had hurt me so
I had a '65 Ford
And a two dollar bill
The way she took that
Lord, it gave me a thrill
Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar

Look out, the gangster's back
I done traded in my old horse for a brand new Cadillac
I'm gonna play some blues
Cause I know you like that
Gonna get real loose
And do the jumpback jack
When I walk into a bar
Girls from near and far
Say I'm the gangster
Listen while a play for you
A crazy little thing called guitar blue
Red, black, yellow, or white
It don't matter mamas
You're all outta sight
Don't get too heavy
Now don't get uptight
Cause the gangster's here to turn on your light
You're my horse and you never win a race
And I dig you mama and your real crazy legs
When I walk into a bar
Girls from near and far
Say I'm the gangster
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Go gangster (do do do do do)
Go gangster (do do do do)
Go gangster (do do do do do)
Go gangster (do do do do)
I'm a gangster
Started long time ago
Down in Texas where the guitars grow
Folks down there got all shook up
When I cut myself loose and did my stuff
Now it's ready, set
Ready, set go
Time for the gangster to start the show
Well, I'm lookin' for women
I'm on the road again
You know the gangster don't lose
He always win
When I walk into a bar
Girls from near and far
Say I'm the gangster
You better look out the gangster's back

They made her a star in New York City

She went to Paris, France
That's where she got the chance
To be a movie star
I got a post card from Rome
Then she was headin' home
To America
A superstar
She'd come so far

Well, it wasn't very long
Till she was back out on
That old freeway
Um Hummmm
She drove across the mountains
The prairies, the deserts
Of the U.S.A.
Um Hummmm
Hollywood gave her a call
She went and lived it all
On the silver screen
Sometimes she laughed and she cried
She kept it all inside
For the magazines
The silver screen
The Hollywood dream
Dit dit die o
Dit dit die o
Dit dit die o
Dit dit die o
She lives in an ivory tower
A tower built by fame
Um Hummmm
She's got the wealth and power
But she hasn't got a man
Um Hummmm
No matter how hard she tried
She was so empty inside
So lonely
She hung her head and she cried
Was it the love she denied
Never satisfied
Deep inside
She said goodbye
She paid the price for her fame
Everyone knows her name
America
A superstar
She'd come so far

Runnin' through this business of life
Raisin' sand if I'm needed to.
Ain't so funny when things ain't feelin' right.
Then daddy's hand helps to see me through.
Sweet as sugar, love won't wash away.
Rain or shine, it's always here to stay.
All these years you and I've spent together.
All this, we just couldn't stand the weather.
Like a train that stops at every station,
We all deal with trials and tribulations.
Fear hangs the fellow that ties up his years.
Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears.
Changes come before we can grow.
Learn to see them before we're too old.
Don't just take me for tryin' to be heavy.
Understand, it's time to get ready for the storm.

Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
I know there's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
You know when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I want you to always remember
Yes, there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
I know there's a place in the sun

The strangest thought came to me on this morning
As I awake to greet the coming dawn
The sun was hardly peaking through the garden
It felt that with everything, I was one
Then I wished that I could come back as a flower
As a flower, as a flower
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
As a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
To spread the sweetness of love
The dew had finished making love to many
A rainbow smelling sweet was in the air
I envied all the silence I saw growing
So unmoved by things outside of themselves
And how I wished that I could come back as a flower
As a flower, as a flower
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
As a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
Oh, as a flower, as a flower
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
As a flower, as a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
To spread the sweetness of love

How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the canon balls fly before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?

To realize,

Since you've been gone,

I sit and cry,
Just like a child
My pouring tears
Are runnin' wild
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
I know it's true
Into each life
Some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining
More and more
Why don't you
Come on home
Oh yes so I won't
Be all alone
If you don't think
You'll be home soon

Ooh, don't let me

Her parents said, girl don't leave home
But her heart kept cheering her on
She had a real good man, steady job
But the two of them just weren't in her heart
She only wanted to be close to me
To give me the love she knew someday I'd need
But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home
Long days, short nights when you're on the road
For a pretty girl it's a heavy load
And even so who'll pay your fare
She said I'll make it on a wing and a prayer
She only wanted to be close to me
To give me the love she knew someday I'd need
But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home
She said I've on right to tell her how life should be
Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me
But she agreed to go along with my final word
As fate would have life come around
My world started tumbling down
I lost my family, my friends and job
And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start
She only wanted to be close to me
To give me the love she knew someday I'd need
But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home
She said I've on right to tell her how life should be
Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me
But she agreed to go along with my final word, my final word
As fate would have life come around
My world started tumbling down
I lost my family, my friends and job
And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start
She only wanted to be close to me
To give me the love she knew someday I'd need
But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home

To give me the love she knew someday I'd need
But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home

His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
'Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Living just enough for the city
His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city yeah, yeah, yeah!
I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we don't change the world will soon be over
Living just enough, just enough for the city!

Tender, warm and serene
Are the words that might come close to having
Remnants of the feelings that we can no longer hide
Mighty, shining and clear
Are but mere expressions that don't come near
To the ever glowing eminence of light in our eyes tonight
Cause moments aren't moments
Until they are moments like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic
Until it is magic like magical love in our hearts
Feeling with tender love-bloom
Gentle, quiet, so soft
Are the wings of love that can send us off
To an ever splendor unknown to all in our time
Trusting in the unknown and giving in to what feelings have shown
Will take us to altered intimacies in our lives
Where we'll find
That moments aren't moments
Until they are moments like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic
Until it is magic like magical love in our hearts
Feeling with tender love-bloom
[Repeat x2]
Cause moments aren't moments
Until they are moments like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic
Until it is magic like magical love in our hearts
Feeling with tender love-bloom

Hey!
Nothing's too good for my baby
Nothing's too good for my girl
Nothing's too good for my baby
Oh, no
(Nothing's too good for my girl)
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause I've got one pearl of a girl
For my baby I work part-time
Down at the neighborhood five-and-dime
Half of my money goes to buy her
Some of the things her little heart desires
The other half goes dime by dime
To show my cookie a real good time, because
Nothing's too good for my baby
Nothing's too good for my girl
Nothing's too good for my baby
Oh, no
(Nothing's too good for my girl)
She's sweet and she's kind
And she tells me that she's mine all mine, now
Ain't that lovin', ain't that livin'
Ain't that half the fun of givin'
Nothing's too good for my baby
Nothing's too good for my girl
Nothing's too good for my baby
Oh, no
(Nothing's too good for my girl)
I walk around with my chest stuck out
'Cause my baby's worth bragging about
Every Johnnie, Jack, and Jim
Wished that she belonged to him
I gave up the old gang of mine
'Cause with my girl goes all my time
One of these days I'm gonna buy her a ring
And marry her - and everything, because
Nothing's too good for my baby
Nothing's too good for my girl
Nothing's too good for my baby
Oh, no
(Nothing's too good for my girl)
She's sweet and she's mellow
And she tells me that I'm one heck of a fellow, now
Ain't that lovin', ain't that livin'
Ain't that half the fun of givin'
[Coda:]
Nothing's too good for my baby
Nothing's too good for my girl
[Background voices continue]
She's all right and out of sight
And I love her ah-ha-ha, yeah ah-ah-ha-ha-ha ha
Ah-ha-ha yeah, I'm gonna get her a diamond ring, everything [fade]

Lady love and lady cared
But lady went away,
And left me all alone to suffer.
And now I feel it's not fair
For me to fall in love
The truth is the real me you must uncover.
Seems so long, since I've heard the sound
It's been so long, since I've trusted in someone else,
Had to see it all for myself,
It's been so long, that the world seems cold,
But I think it's time in my life to find myself again.
Lady loved and lady stayed,
Until she was too pleased
She knew I wouldn't leave for her to suffer.
I'd never make her suffer.
Now I believe you're just like me,
In that you understand,
And want me for your man to always love me.
You can believe it's seems so long, since I've touched a wanting hand
Oh, it seems so long, since I've trusted in someone else,
Had to see this world for myself,
And it's been so long that the world seems cold,
Now I think I've found someone to make me trust in someone again.
I believe that I can trust in you.

How like the fall
To be gone in a day
Just as the leaves had turned gold
I was drawn to the sound
That the wind carried down
From an open window pane
And oh, how like a song
Or a sad melody
To linger long after the end
And the harmony rings
With the promise of spring
On a Brooklyn street
How like the fall to be gone in a day
Just as the trees had turned gold
I was drawn to this sound
That some fingers had found
But now the winter seems to stay too long
How like a song
Or a sad melody
To linger long after it's gone
Though the window is closed
And the questions it posed
On a Brooklyn street
How like the spring
To return in a day
When everything seems to be new
But here's someone who's hoping
The window is open
On that Brooklyn street again
And oh, how like a song
Or a sweet melody
To linger long after it's gone
Let the harmony ring
With the promise of spring
On a Brooklyn street
<@#Sting_End_Of_The_Game.txt#@>
The fox is done running
And the beast is at bay
We've run them in circles
By the end of the day
We chased them through bramble
We chased them through the fields
We could chase them forever
But the fox would not heel
And some saw her shadow
On the crest of a hill
All the hounds are distracted
Away from the kill
One day we'll reach a great ocean
At the end of a pale afternoon
And we'd lay down our heads just like we were sleeping
Controlled by the drag of the moon
We ran through the forest
And we ran through the streams
And we ran through the heather
Though we ran in our dreams
And you were my lover
And I was your boy
We ran like the river
For what else did we know
One day we'll reach a great ocean
At the end of a pale afternoon
The dogs are all howling
And the horses are late
All the hunters have hunted
Through the end of the game
Our love was a river
A wild mountain stream
In a tumbling fury
On the edge of a dream
And they chased us through bramble
And they chased us through the fields
They could chase us forever
But our heart would not yield
And the fox is done running
At the end of the day
I'm ready to answer
I'm ready to pay
And this river's done running
And time will come soon
Carried to the great ocean
By the drag of the moon
<@#Sting_Epilogue_(Nothing_Bout_Me).txt#@>
Lay my head on the surgeon's table
Take my fingerprints if you are able
Pick my brains pick my pockets
Steal my eyeballs and come back for the sockets
Run every kind of test from A to Z
And you'll still know nothing 'bout me
Run my name though your computer
Mention me in passing to your college tutor
Check my records check my facts
Check if I paid my income tax
Pore over everything in my C.V.
But you'll still know nothing 'bout me
You'll still know nothing 'bout me
You don't need to read no books on my history
I'm a simple man, it's no big mystery
In the cold weather, a hand needs a glove
At times like this, a lonely man like me needs love
Search my house with a fine tooth comb
Turn over everything 'cause I won't be at home
Set up your microscope and tell me what you see
You'll still know nothing 'bout me
<@#Sting_Fragile.txt#@>
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

Well in a hundred years from now
They will attempt to tell us how
A scientific means to bliss
Will supersede the human kiss
A sub atomic chain
Will maybe galvanize the brain
A biochemic trance
Will eliminate romance
But why ever should we care
When there are arrows in the air
Formed by lovers' ancient art
That go straight to my heart
A future sugar coated pill
Would give our lovers time to kill
I think they're working far too much
For the redundancy of touch
But what will make me yours
Are a million deadly spores
Formed by lovers' ancient art
That go straight to my heart
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. To no one but you
If it's a future world we fear
We have tomorrow's seeds right here
For you can hold them in your hand
Or let them fall into the sand
But if our love is pure
The only thing of which we're sure
Then you can play your part
And go straight to my heart
If I should seek immunity
And love you with impunity
Then the only thing to do
Is for me to pledge myself to you
But they only dealt one card
So for me it is not hard
You're the bright star in my chart
You go straight to my heart
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. To no one but you

My sisters and I
Have this wish before we die
And it may sound strange
As if our minds are deranged
Please don't ask us why
Beneath the sheltering sky
We have this strange obsession
You have the means in your possession
We want our tea in the Sahara with you
We want our tea in the Sahara with you
The young man agreed
He would satisfy their need
So they danced for his pleasure
With a joy you could not measure
They would wait for him here
The same place every year
Beneath the sheltering sky
Across the desert he would fly
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
The sky turned to black
Would he ever come back?
They would climb a high dune
They would pray to the moon
But he'd never return
So the sisters would burn
As their eyes searched the land
With their cups full of sand
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you

It's all there in the gospels, the Magdalene girl
Comes to pay her respects, but her mind is awhirl.
When she finds the tomb empty, the stone had been rolled,
Not a sign of a corpse in the dark and the cold.
When she reaches the door, sees an unholy sight,
There's this solitary figure in a halo of light.
He just carries on floating past Calvary Hill,
In an almighty hurry, aye but she might catch him still.
"Tell me where are ye going Lord, and why in such haste?"
"Now don't hinder me woman, I've no time to waste!
For they're launching a boat on the morrow at noon,
And I have to be there before daybreak.
Oh I canna be missing, the lads'll expect me,
Why else would the good Lord himself resurrect me?
For nothing will stop me, I have to prevail,
Through the teeth of this tempest, in the mouth of a gale,
May the angels protect me if all else should fail,
When the last ship sails."
Oh the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers,
The noise at the end of the world in your ears,
As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea,
And the last ship sails.
It's a strange kind of beauty,
It's cold and austere,
And whatever it was that ye've done to be here,
It's the sum of yer hopes yer despairs and yer fears,
When the last ship sails.
Well the first to arrive saw these signs in the east,
Like that strange moving finger at Balthazar's Feast,
Where they asked the advice of some wandering priest,
And the sad ghosts of men whom they'd thought long deceased,
And whatever got said, they'd be counted at least,
When the last ship sails.
Oh the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers,
The noise at the end of the world in your ears,
As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea,
And the last ship sails.
And whatever you'd promised, whatever you've done,
And whatever the station in life you've become.
In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son,
And whatever the weave of this life that you've spun,
On the Earth or in Heaven or under the Sun,
When the last ship sails.
<@#Sting_The_Wild_Wild_Sea.txt#@>
I saw it again this evening
Black sail in a pale yellow sky
And just as before in a moment
It was gone where the grey gulls fly.
If it happens again I shall worry
That only a strange ship could fly
And my sanity scans the horizon
In the light of the darkening sky.
That night as I walked in my slumber
I waded into the sea strand
And I swam with the moon and her lover
Until I lost sight of the land
I swam till the night became morning
Black sail in a reddening sky
Found myself on the deck of a rolling ship
So far where no grey gulls fly
All around me was silence
As if mocking my frail human hopes
And a question mark hung in the canvas
For the wind that had died in the ropes
I may have slept for an hour
I may have slept for a day
For I woke in a bed of white linen
And the sky was the colour of clay.
At first just a rustle of canvas
And the gentlest breath on my face
But a galloping line of white horses
Said that soon we were in for a race
The gentle sigh turned to a howling
And the grey sky she angered to black
And my anxious eyes searched the horizon
With the gathering sea at my back
Did I see the shade of a sailor
On the bridge through the wheelhouse pane
Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship
As I squinted my eyes in the rain
For the ship had turned into the wind
Against the storm to brace
And underneath the sailor's hat
I saw my father's face
If a prayer today is spoken
Please offer it for me
When the bridge to heaven is broken
And you're lost on the wild wild sea
Lost on the wild wild sea...

You've got the mouth of a she wolf
Inside the mask of an innocent lamb
You say your heart is all compassion
But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram
Yet you always made a profit baby
If it was a famine or a feast
Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,
I was cursed with x-ray vision,
I could see right through all the lies you told,
When you smiled for the television
And you can see the coming battle
You pray the drums will never cease
And you may win this war that's coming
But would you tolerate the peace?
Investing in munitions
And those little cotton flags
Invest in wooden caskets
In guns and body bags, guns and body bags
Your daddy was a businessman
And it always made good sense
You know the war can make you rich my friend
In dollars, pounds and cents
In the temple that was Mammon's
You were ordained the parish priest
Yes you may win this coming battle
But could you tolerate the peace?
Invest in deadly weapons
And those little cotton flags
Invest in wooden caskets
In guns and body bags
You're invested in oppression
Investing in corruption
Invest in every tyranny
And the whole world's destruction
I imagine there's a future
When all the earthly wars are over
You may find yourself just standing there
On the white cliffs of Dover
You may ask, what does it profit a man
To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
Is that your body you see on the rocks below
As the tide begins to roll?
And you invested in this prison
From which you never got released
You may have won this war we're fighting
But would you tolerate the peace?
There's a war on our democracy
A war on our dissent
There's a war inside religion
And what Jesus might have meant
There's a war on mother nature
A war upon the seas
There's a war upon the forests
On the birds and the bees
There's a war on education
A war on information
A war between the sexes
And every nation
A war on our compassion
A war on understanding
A war on love and life itself
It's war that they're demanding
Make it easy on yourself
And don't do nothing

Does it feel any better now, does it mean any more
When the angel of death comes knock, knocking
And banging at your door
When all the fun was over, I put you on my shoulder
Took you home, away from it all
Shot down and claimed, mounted and framed
Tastefully hung up on my wall

Well I don?t mind, I don?t mind
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said I don?t mind if you don?t mind
The color is all but faded
Out of a dead man's eyes
Down to his blackened heart
Black heart's kickin' like a beating drum
Shooting her down the sound of his gun
No compassion, hard as an assassin
Falling deeper still in that reckless fashion
Lay down now stay down
Deeper and deeper with a blind man's passion
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well I don?t mind, I don?t mind
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said I don?t mind if you don?t mind
The color is all but faded
Out of a dead mans eyes
Down to his blackened heart
Rescue me

If you don't mind
The color is all but faded
Out of a dead man's eyes
Down to his blackened heart

Forward yesterday makes me wanna stay
What they said was real makes me wanna steal
Living under house guess I'm living I'm a mouse
All's I gots is time got no meaning just a rhyme
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal,
I like to steal
I'm half the man I used to be (this feeling as the dawn it fades to gray)
Feeling uninspired think I'll start a fire
Everybody run bobby's got a gun
Think you're kinda neat then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing guess I'll leave it up to me.
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand 'guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal,
I like to steal
I'm half the man I used to be (this feeling as the dawn it fades to gray)

Broke the Breadline Nobody Knows
I walked the frontline Still got far to go
I mixed the water I drank the water
I broke the breadline Don't wanna know
It's staring me down Wearing a crown of apathy
I'm standing around Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name You know where to find me
I killed the manchild I'll fast alone
I had the midwife Naked and alone
I mixed the water I drank the water
I killed the brainchild I'll fast alone
It's staring me down...
Don't wanna let me be a man
Don't wanna lead me to your home
It's staring me down....
I killed the manchild
I had the midwife
I drank the water
I stand alone
I broke the breadline
I walked the frontline
Don't know my name You know where to find me
Don't wanna let me be a man
Don't wanna lead me to your home

Pass the time kickin' as time rips by
Neither goose nor the gander fly
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin' burnin'
Take a peek as the model earns it earns it
Walk a mile as it keeps crawlin' crawlin'
Clean the politician, wash with everpure
So the answer gets harder
A nd the truth's getting farther and farther
And the bottle keeps churnin'
Seven caged tigers fly by
Wastin' time chasing those cows that fly
Churnin' out all that butterfly sugarboost
Track the blade as it swoops downward and onward
Take a pill it'll kill martyrs, martyrs
Passin' time rippin' as time kicks by
Pass the umbilical cord down for this flyby
Take a sneak while the model earns it, earns it
Hike a mile as it keeps crawlin'
So the answer gets harder
And the truth's getting farther and farther
And the bottle keeps churnin'
Seven caged tigers fly by

Hey, what are you looking at?

I was a superman, the looks are deceiving
The rollercoaster ride's a lonely one

Hey, what are you looking at?
She was a teenage girl when she met me

Miles above your circumstance there's water on your mind.
I've wrestled with convictions and I've settled with the tide.
It's more or less uncertainty but still you play the game.
A pedicure won't change the score, but all of this will fade.
So low, better get on,
Everything's stopped (down).
So slow, better get on,
Everything's slowed (down)
Down.
Take a bath with consecrated water from the shrine
And wash away the mud of all the miles you've left behind.
Triplicates and wedding rings both lethal to obtain
So batten down the credit cards, the devil's in the den.

So keep your bankroll lottery eat your salad day deathbed motorcade
Fake the heat and scratch the itch Skinned up knees and salty lips
I'll breathe your life vicks vapor life and when you binge I purge alike
Let go it's harder holding on One more trip and I'll be gone
So keep your head up Keep it on, just a whisper I'll be gone
Take a breath and make it big It's the last you'll ever get
Break you neck with diamond noose It's the last you'll ever choose

What can I do
Pictures of you still make me cry
Trying to live without your love
It's so hard to do
Some nights I'll wake up
I'll look at your pillow
Hoping that I'll see you there
But I get up each day, not much to say
I've nowhere to go
Loneliness fills me up inside
'Cause I'm missing you
So if you'll give us a chance to remember
The love we had once together
Wait and see
Time is all that we really need
I'm praying you won't say no
I mean to tell you
Don't let it end
Baby we could have so much more
Don't let it end
Honey please don't walk out that door
I'm telling you baby, I made my mistakes
But I'll make you this promise to do what it takes
I'll be there to protect you and hold you tight
You got my lovin' baby every single night
Don't let it end
I'm begging you, don't let it end this way
Don't let it end
I'm begging you, don't let it end this way
Don't let it end
Baby we could have so much more
Don't let it end
Honey please don't walk out that door
Don't let it end
I'm begging you don't let it end this way
Don't let it end
I'm begging you don't let it end this way, no, no, no
No, no, no

I need you to stay, honey
Don't let it end this way.

oh oh oh oh oh
penny pitching on the walk
waiting for the bus to arrive
me and Davy playing sport
watching for the cops to go by
spider man and the human torch
they cover Barney's newsstand
morning crowds start to gather round
fast finger steals what he can
morning leaves for the afternoon
the boys show up on time
in the streets near the people's store
below the electrical sign
catch a glimpse of a passing car
raced and ready to drag
then the skirts start to tantalize
the boys how they boast and they brag

Hold on tightly to your innocence
And don't you let go
Until you know it's gonna be your way
Through the tangle and the bramble
There's a thread that runs through
And it's true
There's no need to be afraid
Smiling ear to ear
It's something in the atmosphere
Every star above reflecting in your sea of love
Is it just a dream
Or are things as they really seem
Somebody help me make the call
You could be the light
That shines so bright
You show the way to go
And if it's so
Don't be too surprised
Just give yourself a chance
And take a glance
Around to see the glow
Burning in my eyes
Smiling ear to ear
It's something in the atmosphere
Every star above reflecting in your sea of love
This is not a dream
It's just the way it's always been
You've got to rise above it all
Somewhere down the road that we follow
We'll be one with everything
I know as soon as tomorrow
We could be arriving
Somewhere down the road that we follow
We'll be one with everything
I know as soon as tomorrow
We could be arriving
And in my dreams I'm there by your side
Learning to fly again
The world we see (World we see and hear)
Is a mystery (Mystery but we)
But we hold the key (Hold the key to the door)
If we have the faith to live (Have the faith anymore)
And believe
Somewhere down the road that we follow
We'll be one with everything
I know as soon as tomorrow
We could be arriving
And in my dreams I'm there by your side
Learning to fly again

There must be something out there,
There must be something real
Well this mystery's a nightmare
And I don't know what to feel
Well I heard you had a hell of a time there
I guess it chilled you down to the bone
If there's one thing I can tell you
It'll never leave you less than alone
In spite of everything you told me
In spite of everything I've heard
There's nothing here that I call holy
Not a solitary word
Could you tell me what it's like on the outside
Were you really lost and out of control
Were you reaching for your freedom
When the gatekeeper called for the toll
Oh-oh, what have they done to you
Where, where have you gone
Oh-oh, I want to run to you
In spite of what you're saying
I still can't let you go
Well they say you witnessed some kind of lefe there
Was it something real or nothing at all
Or is your imagination all that's there to catch you
If you start to fall
Oh-oh, what have they done to you
Where, where have you gone
Oh-oh I want to run to you
In spite of what you're saying
I still can't let you go
Oh-oh, what have they done to you

I have a secret place inside my mind
where I keep hidden inspiration you will find.
And when my petty anger goes to my head
you'll find I'm better off dead.
Oh and I don't hold the key
to find out what is killing me its
been so long but somehow i just still care
I am a Romeo am a Romeo with no place to go
Sometimes I think you hate me hang up the phone
but take a closer look this hate I feel is my own.
So many times I've loved you, more than myself,
it's time to take that love and put it on the shelf.
Oh, and when I hold you tight,
it makes me want to scream and fight.
Love turned to hate,
some how it's just, how it's just,
how it's just to late.
I am a Romeo, am a Romeo with no place to go
Rock the reggae music, 'cause it sounds so fine, right!
When I hold you tight, in my arms you are mine,
but in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same,
I know something goin on and I know who's to blame.
Everytime I tell you I'm the real Romeo,
it fills my soul and heart with anger, pain, and sorrow.
'cause' somthings going on and I think you should know,
so listen to my rhyme, 'cause this is how it goes:
In a tight mini short in a short mini skirt,
it feels so wrong and it feels so right.
the more I think about it you're a pain in the ass,
I told you many times, this time it's gonna last.
Want the kind of woman who can make me feel right,
not sloppy drunk sex on a Saturday night. 'cause,
I am a Romeo, am a Romeo with no place to go
Pull up your honey if you gotta one see,
because your down with the style, 'cause your down with me. oh,
rig the selector when your on the mixer,
along with Peter Mitchell upon the echo chamber. Two, one,
no they must see but no, they can't test me.
Two, three of them come and say you can't test me.
Because me rock the reggae music in a different stylee.
Me rock the kinda reggae music right on time, because your down with the
band that they call Sublime, right?
Don't take it too slow, don't take me wrong,
me know which way to go, me, me, me, me alright,
me rock the reggae music day and all night.
Makes you want to explode,
makes me want to explode,
makes me want to explode,
makes you want to explode,
sometimes it makes you want to explode.

As I was walkin' down rub-a-dub square
Not a chill to the window but a little to the air
From another direction she was calling my eye
It could be an illusion but I might as well try
Might as well try
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
And I knew without asking she was into the blues
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
I knew right away she was not like other girls, like other girls
Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
As everything works out the way it does in this song
Cause once in a while you get shown in the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right
It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above
Because the women took a lovin' over me
And just to gain her trust, I bought a microbus
Because I sold off all my personal property
A tie-tie-dyed dress, she was a psychedelic mess
We toured to the north, south, east and west
We sold some mushroom tea,
We sold some ecstasy,
We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin and PCP
And now I hear the police coming after me
Yes now I hear the police coming after me
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair,
She's got the police coming after me
Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves
All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues
And there ain't nothin' wrong with the love that's in her eyes
I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by, let her pass by.
Oh just let her pass by
<@#Sublime_Slow_Ride.txt#@>
She takes her time when it's time to get ready.
Always has her way.
Always leaves me waiting by the phone.
She told me more than once to take it slow
And I said OK.
But lately I've been sleeping all alone.
I'm not breaking up inside
I'm much to proud to moan.
Baby please come home.
I feel a little lucky so I try to play it cool.
I think she laughs inside.
With the words that burn like fire in my mouth.
Try to be a man like I got the master plan, night out on the town.
Drink and dance and we can turn it out.
Whoa, maybe it's how your body moves I just don't know,
Maybe it's just the way you move so slow.
[Hello?]
[Hi it's me]
[I thought I told you not to call me here]
[I know I just really needed to talk to you]
[Get a clue babe, there's nothing to talk about.]
(Click!)
Ask me why I play myself play myself for a fool.
Swear I would do most anything.
Walk a mile to see her smile.
Walk a mile just to rock for a while.
Babe I'm thinking with my ding-a-ling.
Whoa, I've been doing some thinking,
Now I just don't know.
Maybe just the way you move so slow.
Maybe 'cause you move so slow.
Maybe 'cause you move so slow.
But sitting on the verge of tears does not become my twenty two years.
You took my shame, and you took my pride,
And now you gonna take me for a slow ride.
But uh, uh. Waiting, waiting on the phone.
Got the words that burn like fire in my mouth.
Come on down reggae style,
Wind up your body like a bass line wild,
Drink and dance and we can turn it out.
Whoa, I'm not going crazy but I just don't know,
Maybe 'cause you move so slow. [Repeat x3]
Like love,
Move nice and low.
Slowride! [Repeat x3]

And when she gets home
There's none left for me
Summertime and the livin's easy
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras-MG
All the people in the dance will agree that we're well qualified to
Represent
The LBC
Me and Louie we're gonna run to the party
And dance till the rhythm it gets
Harder
Ba da ba bye bye
Ba da ba bye bye
Ba da ba bye bye
Ba da ba bye bye
So take this veil from off my eyes
My burning sun will some day rise
And what am I gonna be doin for a wife
I said I'm gonna play with myself
Show them now we've come off the self
Summertime and the livin easy
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras-MG
All the people in the dance will agree that we're well qualified to

Me and Louie we're gonna run to the party
And dance till the rhythm it

Evil

Tension

Hold her
Water
Evil come to tell you that she's evil
Most definitrly
Evil, horny scandalous and evil
Most definitely
The tension is growing hotter
I'd like to hold her head underwater
Summertime and the livin's easy
Bradley's on the microphone with RAS-MG
All the people in the dance will agree that we're well qualified to
Represent

Me and Louie everybody run to the party
And dance till the rhythm it gets

<@#Supertramp_Babaji.txt#@>
All of my life I felt that you were listening
Watching for ways to help me stay in tune
Lord of my dreams, although confusion
Keeps trying to deceive
What is it that makes me believe in you?
Babaji, oh won't you come to me
Won't you help me face the music
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Help me to find it before we lose it
At night when the stars are near
And there's no one to keep you from coming here
And there's no one to shield me before your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?
I can see it's not too good to me
To be afloat in the sea of glory
Babaji, oh how you comfort me
By showing me it's a different story
Your light in the dark is real
And I know that you know it is how I feel
When I see the reflections that's in your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?
Babaji, have you a song for me
To tell the world of its guardian angel
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Oh must you always remain a stranger?
At night when the stars are near
And I long for delusion to disappear
The I see the reflection that's in your eyes
Is it time, is it time, is it time to know
<@#Supertramp_Bee_In_Your_Bonnet.txt#@>
I keep on churning away, but pay no mind
You don't know nothing 'bout me but that's alright
I tell you true that I'll be there and that's for sure
You got to let me go everywhere, let me through that door
Let me through that door
You say you got a bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more
I doubt if you'll be liable to read it in the bible
But I ain't going to say any more
You can't build enough in a row but don't kid yourself
You gotta know they're all insane
They goin' ridin' on the range
Don't need no hi-fly strutter
Go babe, you're driving me crazy
You got a new shining beau
It don't pay to love
It don't pay to love
You say you got a bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more
I doubt if you be liable
To read it in the bible
I ain't going to say any more
Well there you go blaming yourself
There you go hiding so deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
Yeah you know she's going to find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're headed for now
It's OK... you're going to live to see another day
Lie, cheat, and beg, borrow, steal
Gotta find a way to be real
Show me something I ain't seen before
We're gonna make it through that door
You may be in love and love it's true
But it's a romance that you can't use
Give me something and take it away
Gonna get it right some day
You gonna get it right some day
You say you got a bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more
I doubt if you be liable
To read it in the bible
I ain't going to say any more
But there you go blaming yourself
And there you go hiding
So deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
And you know she's going to find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're heading for now
It's OK..... you're going to live to see another day
Well there you go blaming yourself

History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
"Too late," the prophets (profits) cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky
Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home
So tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know
Can you hear what I'm saying
Can you see the parts that I'm playing
"Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie,
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie"
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
"Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy,
Yeah!"
<@#Supertramp_Free_As_A_Bird.txt#@>
When a spirit is broken
Why go on
When there's nothing to say
And a love just a token
It was strong
Now it's fading away
Ah but I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night
And our love it was over
Long ago
But we just didn't say
And the years they have fallen
One by one
How they drifted away
But now I'm free as a bird
As I walk out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm feeling OK
As I face the brand new day
As I face the brand new day
You know I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night
As I face the lonely night
No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more heartaches bother me
Don't wear my heartaches on my sleeve
It's gonna be a brand new story
What's the use of former glory
It's better not to do if you can't do right
It's time to get to celebrating
After all the years of waiting
I'm gonna have a ball if it takes all night
<@#Supertramp_Help_Me_Down_That_Road.txt#@>
I feel so close to you
'Cause you know you always do
Help me down that road
I go to sleep at night
Feeling that it's alright
'Cause you help me down that road
When I feel I've been beat
You get me on my feet
You help me spread that heavy load
Now that I realize
Just where our friendship lies
It will help me down that road
You think you've seen my best
But you ain't seen nothin' yet
Since you, help me down that road
When life is a bitter sweet
You mix it up a treat
Yeah, you're the best pick up I know
If you don't satisfy
Don't give me the evil eye
It won't help me down that road
When I ain't doin' so well
You never kiss and tell
You just help me down that road
Just when I'm feelin' sick
You give my heart a kick
Then I don't feel so all alone
When I can't get it right
Just when the end's in sight
Yes you help me down that road
I know you'll be callin' me
To see you that I'm OK
I know that you will always be
With me night and day
I could live in poverty, I could be in pain
I know that you'd be there with me
To you it's all the same
<@#Supertramp_Land_Ho.txt#@>
Dreaming nothing to do
Dreaming nothing to say
Can I say there's nothing to dream about
But something keep us moving away?
I said, "Land ho, will I be sailing forever?
Oh, oh, I need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will I be giving forever?
Oh, oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul"
Wind is all far I can see
When I'm feeling to strife
For there's something that's calling me
Oh, something that's so hard to find
I said, "Land ho, will I be sailing forever?
Oh, oh, I guess, I'll feel my ship is getting old
Land ho, will I be dreaming forever?
Oh, oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul"
I said, "When you're alone there's not a sail in sight
There's a great sky and you may just try to take a life
Oh well, there once was a lady made me feel alright
But she couldn't stay, she just sailed away
Now this only waves to see me through the night"
Maybe I'll always be sad
And maybe there'll always be strife
Drifting alone with a saddened tone
Afloat in the ocean of life
I said, "Land ho, you're sailing ship on forever?
Oh, oh, I need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will I be searching forever?
Oh, oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul"
Will I be sailing forever?
Will I be dreaming forever?
Will I be searching forever?
Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever

In the middle of our summer romance
He walked up to her and he asked her to dance
I could see the old love light in her eyes
See the love light in her eyes
It took a while to say, how's your new love, babe?
My heart was beating with a rage like thunder
And when I saw him, I began to wonder
I could see the old love light in his eyes
See the love light in his eyes
It took a while to say, how's your new love, babe?
How's your new love, babe?
Well, in the middle of our summer romance
He walked up to her, he said, 'Please, give me another chance'
I could see the old love light in her eyes

<@#Supertramp_Waiting_So_Long.txt#@>
Did you get all you want?
Did you see the whole show?
So where's all the fun
That we used to know?
As the memories fade
Way out of view
I'd love those old days
To come back to you
I've been waiting so long
I'm not feeling so strong
Did you say what you mean?
Did you mean what you say?
About this new scene
Is it really that way?
But the blindness goes on
You say it's not so
But what do you know?
I've been waiting so long
I'm not feeling so strong
Ain't nothing new, it's just the same old thing
You got me singing those old blues again
Angry music, words of fire
Painted faces filled with rage
Even then they sound so tired
I must be set in my old ways
If this world is unimpressive
It's been that way for quite awhile
I don't need no heavy message
Just turn me on and make me smile
Yes I've been waiting such a long time
Just for something to ring true
Now I'd rather taste the old wine
Than mess around with something new
And the blindness goes on
The blindness goes on
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain
With my back against the wall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out with nowhere to go
And the shadows start to fall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me out on this lonely road
As the wind begins to howl
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old and cold and grey
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When I'm old and cold and grey and time is gone.

What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles within my brain
Cocaine!
Something blowing in my head
Winter's ice, it soon will spread
Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold
Cocaine!
My eyes are blind, but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there's no place freezing me
Don't you think I know what I'm doing?
Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
You're the one who's really a loser
This is where I feel I belong
Crystal world with winter flowers
Turns my day to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?
My eyes are blind, but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there's no place freezing me...

When you were little
You dreamed you were big
You must have been something
A real tiny kid
You wish you were me
I wish I was you
Now don't you wake up
The dream will come true
Every dream has a name
And names tell your story
This song is your dream
You're the dream operator
It's bigger than life
You know it's all me
My face is a book
But it's not what it seems
Three angels above
The whole human race
They dream us to life
They dream me a face
And every dream tells it all
And this dream is your story
You dreamed me a heart
You're the dream operator
Shake-it-up dream
Hi-di-ho dream
Fix-it-up dream
Look at me dream
I've been waiting so long
Now I am your dream
Hard to forget
Hard to go on
When you fall asleep
You're out on your own
Let go of your life
Grab on to my hand
Here in the clouds
Where we'll understand
And you dreamed it all
And this is your story
Do you know who you are?
You're the dream operator
And you dreamed it all
And this is your story
Do you know who you are?

What do you consider fun?
Fun, natural fun
I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend
there's no beginning and there is no end
Time isn't present in that dimension
Hell take my arm
When were walkin', rolling and rocking
Its one time I'm glad I'm not a man
Feels like I'm dreaming, but I'm not sleeping
I'm in heaven
With the maven of funk mutation
Clintons musicians such as Bootsy Collins
Raise expectations to a new intention
No one can sing
Quite like Smokey, Smokey Robinson
Wailin' and shakin' to Bob Marley
Reggaes expanding with Sly and Robbie
All the weekend
Boyfriend was missing
I surely miss him
The way he'd hold me in his warm arms
We went insane when we took cocaine.
Stepping in a rhythm to a Kurtis Blow
Who needs to think when your feet just go
With a hiditihi and a hipitiho
Who needs to think when your feet just go
Who needs to think when your feet just go
James Brown, James Brown
James Brown, James Brown
If you see him
Please remind him, unhappy boyfriend
Well he's the genius of love
he's got a greater depth of feeling
Well he's the genius of love
he's so deep.

I...Who took the money?
Who took the money away?
I...It's always showtime
Here at the edge of the stage
I, I, I, wake up and wonder
What was the place, what was the name?
We want to wait, but here we go again...
I...takes over slowly
But doesn't last very long
I...no need to worry
Evr'ything's under control
O - you - T But no hard feelings
What do you know? Take you away
We're being taken for a ride again
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
She's moving up, going right through my house
She's ginna give me surprise
Better than this, know that It's right
I think you can if you like
I git a girlfriend with bows in her hair
And nothing is better than that
Down, down in the basement
We hear the sound of machines
I, I, I'm driving in circles
Come to my senses sometimes
Why, why, why, why start it over?
Nothing was lost, everything's free
I don't care how impossible it seems
Somebody calls you but you cannot hear
Get closer to be far away
Only one look and that's all that we need
Maybe that's all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And she goes wherever she likes. (there she goes...)
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
Now everyone's getting involved
She's moving up going right through my heart
We might not ever get caught
Going right through (try to stay cool) going through, staying cool
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And nothing is better than you
I got a girlfriend that's better that this
And you don't remember at all
As we get older and stop making sense
You won't find her waiting long
Stop making sense, stop making sense...stop making sense, making sense
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And nothing is better that this ( is it? )

There's a party in my mind...
And I hope it never stops
I'm stuck here in this seat...

Everything is very quiet
Everyone has gone to sleep
I'm wide awake on memories
There memories can't wait.

And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself
Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime

He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books...
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him...
And through the years, by keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his
mind...
Or somewhere in the back of his mind...
That he might, by force of will, cause his face to approach those of his
ideal...
The change would be very subtle...It might take ten years or so...
Gradually his face would change its' shape...
A more hooked nose...wider, thinner lips...beady eyes...a larger forehead.
He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other people...
They had also molded their faced according to some ideal...
Maybe they imagined that their new face would better
Suit their personality...Or maybe they imagined that their
Personality would be forced to change to fit the new appearance...
This is why first impressions are often correct...
Although some people might have made mistakes...
They may have arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them...
They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish
Whim, or momentary impulse...
Some may have gotten half-way
There, and then changed their minds.
He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake.

Monkey see and monkey do
Ma king babies, eating food
Smelly things, pubic hair
Words of love, in the air
Sparks fly, shoo ting out
Ma king sure that everything is working
I can't turn you down
We are programmed happy little children
Matter over mind
We can not resist so I won't fight it
Love is a machine
Love is a machine without a driver
The facts of life
The facts of life
A masterpiece
Biology
Smokey water
Air conditioned
Boys 'n' girls
And automation
Chromosomes
Designer jeans
Chimpanzees
And human beings
Machines of love
Machines of love
Strong in body, strong in mind
A love machine with the facts of life
The facts of life
The facts of life
So much sex 'n' violence
Must be a bad design
We're stupid to be fighting
Every night
The monsters we create
They welcome us aboard
The best in advertising
From coast to coast
The girls and boys combine
Like monkeys in the zoo
The clouds have silver linings
Looks pretty good
People fall in love like in fairy tales
I'm not sure I like, what they can do
I'm afraid that God has no master plan
He only takes -- what he can use
Factory life, ice cream and pie
Factory life
Someday we'll live on Venus
And men will walk on Mars
But we will still be monkeys
Down deep inside
If chimpanzees are smart
Then we will close our eyes
And let our instincts guide us
Oh oh oh oh no

[Chorus]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart now
Why would you wanna make the very first scar
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart
Maybe I should've seen the signs, should've read the writing on the wall
And realized by the distance in your eyes that I would be the one to fall
No matter what you say I still can't believe
That you would walk away
It don't make sense to me but
[Chorus]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart now
Why would you wanna make the very first scar
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart
It's not unbroken anymore
How do I get it back the way it was before
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart now
Why would you wanna make the very first scar
Why would you wanna break, would you wanna break a

Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart now
Why would you wanna make the very first scar
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart

What if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing
Would the song still survive without five golden rings
Would you still wanna kiss without mistletoe
What would happen if God never let it snow
What would happen if Christmas carols told a lie
Tell me what would you find
You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more
What if angels did not pay attention to
All the things that we wished they would always do
What if happiness came in a cardboard box
Then I think there is something we all forgot
What would happen if presents all went away
Tell me what would you find
You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more
We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships
Hundred mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year
And everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind
Is that the day holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
But here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something more
There's gotta be more
There's gotta be more

Elevator buttons and morning air,
Strangers silence makes me want to take the stairs,
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares,
But right now,
My time is theirs.
Seems like there's always
Someone who disapproves,
They'll judge it like they know about me and you,
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do,
The jury's out,
And my choice is you.
So don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine,
And life makes love look hard,
The stakes are high,
The waters rough,
But this love is ours,
You never know what people have up their sleeves,
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me,
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles,
But I don't care,
'Cause right now you're mine,
And you say,
So don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine,
And life makes love look hard,
The stakes are high,
The water's rough,
But this love is ours
And it's not theirs to speculate,
If it's wrong and,
Your hands are tough but they are where,
My belong in,
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you.
'Cause I love the gap between your teeth,
And I love the riddles that you speak,
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored,
'Cause my heart is yours.
So don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine,
And life makes love look hard,
And don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine,
But they can't take what's ours,
They can't take what's ours,
The stakes are high,
The water's rough,
But this love is ours.

I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor
Plastic dinosaurs, I love you to the moon and back
I remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own secret club
I remember you dancing before bed time then jumping on me waking me up
I can still feel you hold my hand
Little man, from even that moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years
I remember the drive home when the blind hope
Turned to crying and screaming, "Why?"
Flowers piled up in the worst way
No one knows what to say about a beautiful boy who died
And it's about to be Halloween
You could be anything you wanted if you were still here
I remember the last day when I kissed your face
I whispered in your ear
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Out of this curtained room in this hospital
We'll just disappear
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years
What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you?
What if I kept the hand me downs you won't grow into?
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?
But what if the miracle was even getting one moment with you
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I love you to the moon and back

Silent night, holy night
All is calm and all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah
Christ the Savior is born
Christ our Savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God
Love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at thy birth
Jesus Lord at thy birth

This is wrong but
I can't help but feel like
There ain't nothing more right babe
Misty morning comes again and I can't
Help but wish I could see your face
And I knew from the first note played
I'd be breaking all my rules to see you
You smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Good morning loneliness
Comes around when I'm not dreaming about you
When my world wakes up today you'll be in another town
And I knew when I saw your face I'd be
Counting down the ways to see you
And you smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
You played in bars, you play guitar
And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are
And you'll never see, you sing me to sleep
Every night from the radio
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Sweet, sweet superstar

<@#Taylor_Swift_Tim_McGraw.txt#@>
He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie."
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck
On back roads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer had gone
But when you think "Tim McGraw"
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think "that little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears
And thankin' God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet
And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe
But when you think "Tim McGraw"
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think "that little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standin' on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read
Is when you think "Tim McGraw"
I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think "that little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me
Mmm
You said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie."
<@#Taylor_Swift_Wildest_Dreams.txt#@>
He said, "Let's get out of this town,
Drive out of the city, away from the crowds
I thought heaven can't help me now."
Nothing lasts forever, but this is gonna take me down
He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition is
Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh, wildest dreams, oh, ah.
I said, "No one has to know what we do,"
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound,
Nothing lasts forever but this is getting good now
He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request is
Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh, wildest dreams, oh, ah.
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
You'll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just pretend
Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your (just pretend, just pretend) wildest dreams, oh, ah,
in your wildest dreams, oh, ah
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh, ah, in your wildest dreams, ah,
ah.

My life, nothing was easy till now
Hope like the morning will paint the dawn
More than ordinary (deep down)
Make it more than merry (deep down)
Take me to the jamboree (deep down)
And shine a light on me
Draw back the curtains and smile
Everything's wow!
Girls are ten penny Janet, Joy and Jenny, Judy, Joan and Jackie G
Hear me now I warn you
Girls from California break your heart and set you free
My life
Shame to rely, but I swear it's the best I can do
Like a flame, like an I with a dot I am not you
Call me guilty I swear I'm a man who can fly (deep down)
I keep coming back, I'll get back to you
My life, nothing was easy till now

Welcome to your life, there's no turning back,
Even while we sleep,
We will find you acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own desire, it's my own remorse.
Help me to decide.
Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision, married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

You always said you were the compassionate one
But now you're laughing at the sun
With all your high class friends you think you've got it made
The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face
With all your cigarettes and fancy cars
You ain't a clue who or what you are
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
We used to sit and talk about primal scream
To exorcise our past was our adolescent dream
But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails
Now in Neptune's kitchen you will be food for killer whales
And on the crucifix his mother made
Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
You're dreaming you're life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water

Chewed the bone down too low
Got fed on tea and sympathy
Blew the sail like the wind
I wish you were my enemy
I was humble for you
What a fool I've been to have
Laid so low for so long
Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sent your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
Drew the blade way too slow
Was shackled by your honesty
Made a mess, I guess I have should have known
That life was lust and liberty
Not a chance mutation or the last temptation
Laid so low for so long, so low
Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sent your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down

Tired of this elegant life
With the best will in the world
It's a thorn in your side
Dazed, not a little confused
Let the patient do the work
They got nothing to lose
I told you
I'd hold you
'til the last days on earth
Ties that are tested and tried
Like the crushing of the waves
We'll be lost in the tide
Talk away the pain for the very last time
Like an echo in a cave
Let it die in your mind
I told you
I'd hold you
'Til the last days on earth
If you should fall into these opened arms
You would be blessed not just bemused
Wake up their mind love is alonely world
Where nothing on earth lies like a truth
Ties that are tested and tried
Like the crushing of the waves
We'll be lost in the tide
Talk away the pain for the very last time
Like an echo in a cave
Let it die in our mind
I told you
I'd hold you
'Til the last days on earth

There's been some knocking
There's been some heavy knocking
It sounds like someone wants to break down the door
My super ego where I go, he go,
You come a reaping, come a keeping the score and I say
Lord of karma, your mystic-pain-o-rama
One good reason, keep my feet on the ground and I say:
Lord of karma, your mystic-pain-o-rama
Karma Come on down, oh no, no.
Lord of Karma
Down on bended knees forever
Lord of Karma
Down on bended knees forever
Take fear and loathing and put new clothing on it
Infatuation with a snow mountain climb.
In limitation and Devil's advocation,
Come and make it quick, then hit it the ground and I say:
Lord of karma, your mystic-pain-o-rama
Karma, Come on down, oh no, no.
Lord of Karma
Down on bended knees forever
Lord of Karma
Down on bended knees forever
Lord of Karma
Down on bended knees forever
These are the reasons and these are the laws
In one life you're rich, in the next you are poor
Save your excuses, your tensions and fears
Be sure as you go and you go with the flow
And you reap what you sow as above, so below
Mind your lip and swing your hips
And be selective, be objective
No pain, no gain, no pain, no gain, no pain, no gain
No pain, no gain, no pain, no gain, no pain, no gain
No pain
Lord of Karma [Repeat: x7]

How can I be sure?
When your intrusion is my illusion
How can I be sure
When all the time you changed my mind
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love
You gave me pale shelter
You don't give me love
You give me cold hands
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
How can I be sure
For all you say you keep me waiting
How can I be sure
When all you do is see me through
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure
I've been here before
There is no why, no need to try
I thought you had it all
I'm calling you, I'm calling you
I ask for more and more

Hallelujah, the king is dead. He said

And now he'll dream some magic queen might try and save his life

Came from the heart of the man

He played Jeckyll and Hyde till the day he died
Too late for the young gun
To lead a simple life
Too late for the young gun
This is the year of the knife
See the mountains crumble
Feel the fire go cold
Summer will turn to winter
Love will turn to stone
They say his famous final words

Now I ain't gonna sleep tonight
Too late for the young gun
To lead a simple life

As I step out of the carriage
The station looks the same
As the one I left behind me
Though it has another name

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up
And has left you with no warning
But it's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this my love is up
And must be leaving
It has not always been this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays at nighttime
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good
At arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass

She'll never hurt me
She won't desert me
She's an angel sent to me
She's got the devil in her heart
No, no, this I can't believe
She's gonna tear your heart apart
No, no nay will she deceive
I can't believe that she'll ever ever go
Not when she hugs and says she loves me so
She'll never hurt me
She won't desert me
Listen can't you see
She's got the devil in her heart
Oh, no, no, no, this I can't believe
She's gonna tear your heart apart
No no nay will she deceive
Don't take chances if your romance is
So important to you
She'll never hurt me
She won't desert me
She's an angel sent to me
She's got the devil in her heart
Oh, no, no, no, no this I can't believe
She's gonna tear your heart apart
No, no nay will she deceive
She's got the devil in her heart
No she's an angel sent to me
She's got the devil in her heart
No she's an angel sent to me

Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
In the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, writing the words
Of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
In the night when there's nobody there
What does he care
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt
From his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from wandering
Where it will go
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong.
See the people standing there who disagree and never win
And wonder why they don't get in my door
I'm painting my room in the colourful way
And when my mind is wandering
There I will go
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong.
Silly people run around they worry me
And never ask me why they don't get past my door
I'm taking the time for a number of things
That weren't important yesterday
And I still go
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go

I used to get mad at my school
The teacher's that taught me weren't cool
You're holding me down
Filling me up with your rules
I've got to admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
I have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine
Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word
I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can
I've got to admit it's getting better
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can
I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
Yes I admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine...

Every morning when the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah I just love her so
When I call her on the telephone
She says: baby, I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
She'll be knocking on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down
And there ain't nobody else around
She kisses me and she holds me tight
She says: baby everything is alright
That's why I know, that's why I know
Hallelujah I just love her so
Hallelujah I just love her so
Hallelujah I just love that chick so

<@#The_Beatles_Johnny_B._Goode.txt#@>
Deep down in Louisianna
Close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
Among the evergreens
There stand a country cabin
Made of clay and wood
Where lives a young country boy
Named Johnny B. Goode
He never ever learned
To read or write a book so well
But he could play his guitar
Just like a-ringing a bell
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
He used to carry his guitar
In a gunny sack
Sit beneath the trees
By the railroad track
Oh sitting and a-playing
In the shade
Drumming to the rhythm
That the drivers made
People passing by
Used to stop and say
My oh my
That country boy can play
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
Well his mama told him
Someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader
Of a big old band
Many people coming
From miles around
To hear you play your music
Till the sun goes down
Maybe some day
Your name will be in light
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight!
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B.Goode!

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes

Ah

I woke up the other day walked out to blue suburban skies,
Skies filled with dreams and butterflies
And I wondered to myself how do I fit in this game?
Just a nameless face or faceless name
Then I remembered an old friend of mine how we'd watch tv all night
Tell each other about our dreams, but I don't see him no more, no.
Light a cigarette and watch this day go by,
Burned another six minutes to the sky
I need a fucking answer but I guess that's why we live this life
A constant search for something right
Now my mind is wondering how am I going to get fucked up today,
Light a bowl and see it all fade away
It happens everyday
<@#The_Broadways_Fuck_The_Church.txt#@>
Galileo was a sinner
While Christopher Columbus was a saint
Stems from moral victories at least that's what you should believe
What a prestigious state I've made for blasphemers that never seem to...
Just last week the pope figured out
Said "evolution might not be a sin after all"
But people's thoughts on evolution say "the winning church shall stay"
But the pope's token gesture
Trust me much to little, much to late
When the cardinal lives in the big house with facing chimneys
And expansive lawns right on the lake
Well blast his house and shake my hands
Say things that don't seem right to me.
Somebody somewhere has made a big mistake
Cause I seem to recall
That Jesus was a communist
And shared everything and yearned to give
So whats the fucking deal with the no trespassing sign
A sign
Displayed for everyone to see
For everyone to see
For everyone to see
Seems to me this lawn would be nice to sleep on
Seems to me that Jesus would agree
Well i'm just a stupid kid who never goes to church
But Bernadine seems all fucked up to me
And if heaven loves my brother how can a holy man close
His door to the people most in need
Well i don't know
I don't know
Well i guess its just a theme in history
A theme in history
A theme in history
I choose to fucking not believe
I choose to fucking not believe
Jesus was a communist he thinks the same as me
I choose to fucking not believe
FUCK THE CHURCH and learn to be free
FUCK THE POPE and come to hell with me
Our father said we should "forgive those who trespass against us"
It seems to me this lawn would be nice to sleep on
Seems to me that Jesus would agree
It seems to me this lawn would be nice to sleep on

Another ugly fucking stare
Friendly faces seem so few and far between
The older I get it seems I'm just a piece of shit
To those even older than me
Why am I so fucking bad?
I've been to school ever since I was three
And I'm part of a happy family
Well my agenda might not be the same as yours
More to do with peace of mind and less to do with greed
I don't live vicariously through my tv
If I had a wish I'd do away with capitalist society
I'd build a world where smiles and love are worth more than money
And if this world blew up I'd finally get a decent night's sleep
And every night I pray for sweet dreams and an h-bomb
But my bomb didn't fall today
Looked at the sky and prayed for metal rain
Yesterday I stared out at the water, lawn chair in the sand all day
And as the sun kissed the horizon and the day began to fade
And people got into their cars and drove the fuck away
And the sounds of modern industry drifted lazily into space
But the fish are still dead in the water
And the machine starts up again at 8
And when the by-products of progress are human lives instead of fish
It will be too late to realize our mistakes
Our quest for progress has become so fucking absurd
Thank god for juicers vcrs and quisinarts
Meanwhile people are still fucking blind
Meanwhile we're all dying of aids
O the neutron bomb is so fucking ingenious
Kill a million people instantly but preserve their machines
Erase a culture and a race
But their fax machines are safe
Just another fucking reason why I hate this fucking place
The fish are fucking dead in the water
And the ugly stares persist
And I forgot how to smile
Is it our culture, our species or just our sick state of mind
That makes us so proficient in hate?
Yeah we blew up japan and they bought our real estate
And the indians never saw a dime
We look out for number one so much that number two is dehumanized
If you don't believe me then take a look out on the street
Human fucking beings living in refrigerator boxes
Begging assholes like you and me for money just to eat
The fish are all dead in the water and the feelings are dead on the shore
And the only dream I have is for an h-bomb to come
And blow us fucking up
So you don't have to hear me bitch anymore
<@#The_Broadways_Police_Song.txt#@>
Do you remember the first thing you had to memorize?
Was it the pledge of allegiance?
A five year old stands for a flag that killed off all the real americans
Do we really like being controlled or are our heads just spinning?
More cops more prisons to bear down on crime and violence
Yet we glamorize violence through televised wars
My friend was unjustly beaten by the police
And broken star brought shame to the 57th precinct
And with their power came extortion and corruption
And failing to report rape and hatecrimes to make chicago look safe
Tell me is this secrutiy, do we need protection from the police?
We need to reassess the power vested in authority
And social control threatens public safety do you feel safe?
See, I don't know what we're thinking
Paying taxes so that we can be controlled
Do you know what happens
When we start accepting everything that we've been told?
We all fall down and we close our eyes and pretend not to see
But why is a crime not a crime when it's committed by police?
We close our eyes and pretend not to see
But my friend got beat up by police
I had a dream that my whole town had turned into a prison
A cop on every corner but I don't feel too safe
Feels like I'm in jail
<@#The_Broadways_The_Kitchen_Floor.txt#@>
Wasted, passed out on the kitchen floor
Another week gone by and I haven't been dreaming
Blacked out and I can't remember exactly what I did last night
I hear stories in the morning and I know that I'm out of control
Because wheni drink nothing ever matters,
I missed the sunrise, could barely open my eyes
Now I've got to pull myself together
Right now this town really fucking tears me down
Someday it will drown me in the river
I've got to learn to put the liquor on the shelf
Or I might end up drowning myself.
<@#The_Broadways_This_Routine.txt#@>
I've seen a thousand thoughtless faces today
A thousand I saw yesterday
It's our ignorance that keeps us up to pace
It's our tvs that keep us smiling
And all the world's money won't buy you freedom,
Diamond rings don't save lives
How can a man ever be free
I know it's inside you and me sat outside on broken steps
The other day a man came up to say hello
He sang me songs that he heard on the radio
But said that writing was his passion, gave him the change
I had wished him good luck
Maybe he'll be fine but he just buys wine
He's been alone since age sixteen
How can we push him out of our memories?
Half the world is sleeping now in front of tvs
And the other half is crying to the night sky
Is this why we were born?
To wash our emperor's feet?
Or are we just puppets living lies
I had a dream I tried to talk to mother earth last night
But she just sat and cried, yeah she fucking cried
Can someone save us from our pain?
She replied "save yourself" so let's learn to be free
Let's quit our jobs and find some meaning
Let's pour out in the streets
And yell and sing because without love this life don't mean a thing
I say fuck this routine
<@#The_Jam_Bricks_And_Mortar.txt#@>
Bricks and mortar reflecting social change
Cracks in the pavement reveal cravings for success
Why do we try to hide our past
By pulling down houses and build car parks?
Windows and mirrors like a two-way glass
This is progress, nothing stands in its path
Yellow bulldozers, the donkey jackets, and J.C.B.'s
While hundreds are homeless, they're constructing a parking space
Why do they have to knock them down
And leave the site dormant for months on end?
Who has the right to make that choice?
A man whose home has cost forty grand
Tell me!
Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar
Knock 'em down!

Dear,
How are things in your little world, I hope they're going well and you are
too.
Do you still see the same old crowd, the ones who used to meet every Friday.
I'm really sorry that I can't be there but work comes first, I'm sure you'll
understand.
Things are really taking off for me business is thriving and I'm showing a
profit and.
And in any case it wouldn't be the same, cause we've all grown up and we've
got our lives
And the values that we had once upon a time, seem stupid now cause the rent
must be paid
And some bonds severed and others made.
Now I don't want you to get me wrong, ideals are fine when you are young and I
must admit
We had a laugh, but that's all it was and ever will be, cause the burning sky
keeps
Burning bright. and as long as it does (and it always will), there's no time
for dreams
When commerce calls. and the taxmans shouting cause he wants his dough and the
wheels of
Finance won't begin to slow.
And its only us realists who are gonna come through cause there's only one
power higher
Than that of truth and that's the burning sky.
Oh and by the way I must tell you, before I sign off, that I've got a meeting
next week,
With the head of a big corporate I can't disclose who but I'm sure you'll know
it and.
And the burning sky, keeps burning bright. and it won't turn off til its had
enough,
Its the greedy bastard who won't give up, and you're just a dreamer if you
don't realize,
And the sooner you do will be the better for you, then well all be happy and
well all be
Wise and all bow down to the burning sky.
Then well all be happy and well all be wise and together we will live beneath
the
Burning sky.

Down in amongst the streets tonight
Books will burn, people laugh and cry in their turmoil
(Turmoil turns rejoiceful)
Shed your fears and lose your guilt
Tonight we burn responsibility in the fire
We'll watch the flames grow higher!
But if you get too burnt, you can't come back home
And as I was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those led pissing themselves laughing
(And the flames grew)
Their mad eyes bulged their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger
We feast on flesh and drink on blood
Live by fear and despise love in a crises
(What with today's high prices)
Bring some paper and bring some wood
Bring what's left of all your love for the fire
We'll watch the flames grow higher!
But if you get too burnt - you can't come back home
And as I was standing by the edge
I could see the faces of those led pissing themselves laughing
(And the flames grew)
Their mad eyes bulged their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger
In the funeral pyre
We'll watch the flames grow higher
But if you get too burnt - you can't come back home
(Well I feel so old, when I feel so young
Well I just can't grow up to meet the demands)
<@#The_Jam_Ghosts.txt#@>
Why are you frightened can't you see that it's you
That ain't no ghost it's a reflection of you
Why do you turn away an' keep it out of sight
Oh don't live up to your given roles
There's more inside you that you won't show
But you keep it hidden just like everyone
You're scared to show you care it'll make you vulnerable
So you wear that ghost around you for disguise
But there's no need just 'cause it's all we've known
There's more inside you that you haven't shown
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
One day you'll walk right out of this life
And then you'll wonder why you didn't try
To spread some loving all around
Old fashioned causes like that still stand
Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down
How do you feel at the end of the day
Just like you've waked over your own grave
So why are you frightened can't you see that it's you
At the moment there's nothing so there's nothing to lose
Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through
<@#The_Jam_I_Need_You_For_Someone.txt#@>
I need you to keep me straight,
When the world don't seem so great,
And it's hard enough you know
I need you to be around
When my conscience brings me down
And the world seems so obscure
I want you to be the one
Who tells me off when I do wrong,
And you know I can be bad
I need you, I need you
Say you'll stay, make my day
Now what have I done,
Was it something I said - oh dear
I need you to turn me off,
When you think I've said enough,
To the extent of being a bore
I need you to tell me no
Slap my wrists and send me home
Tell me I can't come again
Now why are you crying -
Have I gone too far - again
I need you keep me straight,
when the world don't seem so great
and its hard enough you know
I need you, I need you
Say you'll stay
Make my day
<@#The_Jam_Little_Boy_Soldiers.txt#@>
Its funny how you never knew what my name was,
Our only contact was a form for the election.
These days I find that you don't listen,
These days I find that were out of touch,
These days I find that I'm too busy,
So why the attention now you want my assistance,
What have you done for me.
You've gone and got yourself in trouble,
No you want me to help you out.
These days I find that I can't be bothered,
These days I find that its all too much,
To pick up a gun and shoot a stranger,
But I've got no choice so here I come, war games.
I'm up on the hills, playing little boy soldiers,
Reconnaissance duty up at 5:30.
Shoot shoot shoot and kill the natives,
You're one of us and we love you for that.
Think of honor, queen and country,
You're a blessed son of the British empire,
Gods on our side and so is Washington.
Come out on the hills with the little boy soldiers.
Come on outside, I'll sing you a lullaby,
Or tell a tale of how goodness prevailed.
We ruled the world, we killed and robbed,
The fucking lot, but we don't feel bad.
It was done beneath the flag of democracy,
You'll believe and I do, yes I do, yes I do,
Yes I do
These days I find that I can't be bothered,
To argue with them well what's the point,
Better to take your shots and drop down dead,
Then they send you home in a pine overcoat
With a letter to your mum
Saying find enclosed one son, one medal and a note,
To say he won.
<@#The_Jam_Smithers-Jones.txt#@>
Here we go again, it's Monday at last,
He's heading for the Waterloo line,
To catch the 8 a.m. fast, its usually dead on time,
Hope it isn't late, got to be there by nine.
Pin stripe suit, clean shirt and tie,
Stops off at the corner shop, to buy The Times
'Good Morning Smithers-Jones'
'How's the wife and home?'
'Did you get the car you've been looking for?'
Let me get inside you, let me take control of you,
We could have some good times,
All this worry will get you down,
I'll give you a new meaning to life - I don't think so.
Sitting on the train, you're nearly there
You're part of the production line,
You're the same as him, you're like tin-sardines,
Get out of the pack, before they peel you back.
Arrive at the office, spot on time,
The clock on the wall hasn't yet struck nine,
'Good Morning Smithers Jones'
'The boss wants to see you alone'
'I hope its the promotion you've been looking for'
'Come in Smithers old boy'
'Take a seat, take the weight off your feet'
'I've some news to tell you'
'There's no longer a position for you' -
'Sorry Smithers Jones'.
Put on the kettle and make some tea
It's all a part of feeling groovie
Put on your slippers turn on the TV
It's all a part of feeling groovie
It's time to relax, now you've worked your arse off
But the only one smilin' is the sun tanned boss
Work and work and work and work till you die
There's plenty more fish in the sea to fry

Whatcha trying to say that haven't tried to say before?
You're just another red balloon with a lot of hot gas
Why don't you fuck off?
And you think you've got it worked out
And you think you've got it made
And you trying to play the hero
But you never walk home in the dark
I think it's time for truth
And the truth is you've lost uncle Jimmy
Admit your failure and decline with honor while you can
And you think you've got it sussed out
And you think that we're brain washed
And you're trying for a police state
So you can rule our body and minds
What ever happened to the great empire?
You bastards have turned it into manure
Time for the young to stick together now
I bet you sleep at night with silk sheets and a clean mind
While killers roam the streets in numbers, dressed in blue
And you're trying to hide it from us
But you know what I mean
Bring forward those six pigs
We want to see them swing sod high
<@#The_Killers_Be_Still.txt#@>
Be still
And go on to bed
Nobody knows what lies ahead
And life is short
To say the least
We're in the belly of the beast
Be still
Wild and young
Long may your innocence reign
Like shells on the shore
And may your limits be unknown
And may your efforts be your own
If you ever feel you can't take it anymore
Don't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Rise up like the sun
Labor till the work is done
Be still
One day you'll leave
Fearlessness on your sleeve
When you've come back, tell me what did you see
What did you see (what did you see)
Was there something out there for me?
Be still
Close your eyes
Soon enough you'll be on your own
Steady and straight
And if they drag you through the mud
It doesn't change what's in your blood
(Over chains, over chains, over ?, over ?)
When they knock you down
Don't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Be still
Be still
Be still
Be still
Over rock and chain
Over sunset plain
Over trap and snare
When you're in too deep
In your wildest dream
In your made up scheme
When they knock you down
When they knock you down
Don't break character
You've got so much heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Oh Rise up like the sun
And labor till the work is
Rise up like the sun
Labor till the work is done

No sex, no drugs, no rock, no roll

Stay if you wanna love me, stay
Oh don't be shy, let's cause a scene
Like lovers do on silver screens

The unknown distance to the great beyond
Stares back at my grieving frame
To cast my shadow by the holy sun
My spirit moans with a sacred pain
And it's quiet now
The universe is standing still
[Chorus]
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
And all that stands between the souls release
This temporary flesh and bone
We know that it's over now
I feel my faded mind begin to roam
Every time you fall
And every time you try
Every foolish dream
And every compromise
Every word you spoke
And everything you said
Everything you left me, rambles in my head
[Chorus]
Up above the world so high
And everything you loved
And every time you try
Everybody's watching
Everybody cry
Stay, don't leave me
The stars can't for your sign
Don't signal now
[Chorus]
Goodnight, travel well
Goodnight, travel well
And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now

We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held I close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you want to know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go, so let me know if it's alright
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you want to know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
And then you whisper in my ear
I know what you're doing here
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
He finds a streetlight and he steps out of the shade
And says something like, ?You and me babe, how about it??
Juliet says, ?Hey, it?s Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack?
He's underneath the window, she's singing, ?Hey la my boyfriend?s back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it??
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet
Come up on different streets and both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
Then I dream your dream for you, now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
You can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say, "Oh Romeo, yeah
You know I used to have a scene with him"
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
I said I love you like the stars above, I?ll love you till I die
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet
I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it?s meant to be
I can't do everything but I?d do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
And all I do is keep the beat, the bad company
And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I?d do the stars with you any time
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
I said I love you like the stars above, I?ll love you till I die
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet
And a lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
He finds a convenient streetlight and steps out of the shade
And says something like, ?You and me babe, how about it??

The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby,
Don't take your love to town
It wasn't me that started this whole crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
Yes it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby,

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby,
Don't take your love to town
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam 100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby,
Don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby,
For God sakes turn around

Blonde hair blowin' in the summer wind
A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand
I'd been on a trail for a little while
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
The teenage rush, she said, 'maybe I'll just runaway, we got time'
Well that ain't much...
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
You gotta know that this is real, baby why you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can choose, oh!
We got engaged on a Friday night
I swore on the head of our unborn child that I could take care of the three of
us
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild.
It's in my blood
She says she might just runaway somewhere else, some place good
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
You gotta know that this is real, baby why you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can choose
Let's take a chance baby we can't lose
And we're all just runaways
I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway
I knew that when I held you, I wasn't lettin' go
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
Hold each other to the morning light
We used to laugh, now we only fight
Baby are you lonesome now?
At night I come home after they go to sleep
Like a stumbling ghost, I haunt these halls
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
No we're caught up in the appeal, baby why you wanna hide it?
It's the last thing on my mind
(Why you wanna hide it?)
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive and we all just runaway
I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway
I knew that when I held you, I wasn't lettin go, no no no!
(No no no!)
(And we're all just runaways)
Yeah runaway

Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save your from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go
We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you Used to live
When you were young
They say the devil's water - it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
When you were young
I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
I stumble and I fall
And I think about it all
Then I make amends
But it never ends
And I've just begun to wonder why
And I listen to the songs,
And I read all the words,
And I seem to remember something that I heard
Of a fire and a cave and shadows on the wall
It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
I want to believe in the miracles
But they mix me up. Then they pass the cup
And I've just begun to look the other way
And I don't want to lean on the stars or on the dreams
On the fantasies or the deities
Don't I think it's time to lean on me?

They just turn it blue.
But this time

And my time

To be with you.
So, please
Never go away.
Say you're going to stay,
And make my dreams come true.

Little girl is smart as she can be, woe
Little girl you've made a fool of me, woe.
I believed her when she said she really loved me.
The love was shining in my eyes so couldn't see the lies
In her eyes.
Little girl knows more than she pretends
She knew I wanted to be more than friends.
Every time she hurt me oh how sorry she was,
Yesterday she went to far and now I'm through because I'm wise
To all those lies.
Friends said don't worry now she's sweet and she's kind
Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel all the time
The little things that bothered me I let them go by
And now it's too late to cry.
Little girl it's time that we should part
'Cause little girl now you've broke my heart.
I couldn't help but hear what they had said about you
Now I'm ashamed to tell them that I fell in love you.
They'd laugh at me
Please set me free.
Friends said don't worry now she's sweet and she's kind
Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel all the time.
The little things that bothered me I let them go by
And now it's too late to cry.
Little girl now I'm through with you
'Cause you've got everything you wanted too.
Despite all those things that they said you had done
You had me believin' now that I was the one
In your dreams, instead of your schemes.
Little girl, little girl
<@#The_Monkees_Love_To_Love.txt#@>
Love's a thing that needs one to thrive on
Then it grows
At least that's what I've been told
You can't love someone
If you find that all you get in return
A heart that's cold
They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way.
But if it's true,
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
Seems like you keep trying to break me
You do things designed just to make me cry
And I've heard if warm lips don't touch you
Love won't grow no matter how much you try
They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way.
But if it's true,
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way.
But if it's true,
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you...?
<@#The_Monkees_Midnight.txt#@>
Deep in the bayou en route to LA
The merchandise is changing sides
People are hiding and waiting all day
'Til midnight comes around
That's when it's coming down
And the dreams of a boy
And his shortcut to easy street will die
Back in the city, she's biting her nails
Taking it hard - he's doing it for her
She didn't ask and all he would say
It's what he had to do
To make her dreams come true
But a whisper went 'round on the dark side of town
And anything that could go wrong
Is going wrong right now
Midnight when it all comes down
Only the brave and the fools are around
Midnight when it all comes down
Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him now
Touchdown on the water and into the trees
He's come so far and this is the easy part
Just gotta follow the flashlight he sees
And that's where he gets paid
His fortune will be made
But a house in the country
And an acre of green
Will always be a dream
They never even knew his name
Midnight when it all comes down
Only the brave and the fools are around
Midnight when it all comes down
Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him now
<@#The_Monkees_Oh_What_A_Night.txt#@>
Oh, what a night
But now I must forget you
But my heart won't let you
Out of my life
Oh, what a day
We walked around the city
You said now isn't it a pity
That I couldn't stay
But if I could life that night again
(and again)
It would be the same
And if I had the chance
(just one chance)
I'd stay another day
Oh, what a night
Your kisses were so tender
I always will remember
The promises we made
Oh, what a day
You smiled and it was magic
I thought it was tragic
I had to go away
But if I could live that night again
(and again)
It would be the same
And if I had the chance
(just one chance)
I'd stay another day
Oh, what a night
Oh what a night (oh yeah)
At last we're back together
I've been wondering whether
It would feel the same
Oh what a day (oh no)
When you said you had another
I guess I'll recover
To love again someday
But if I could live that night again
(and again)
It would be the same
And if I had the chance
I'd stay another (stay another) day
I'd stay another day

Reasoned verse some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you
Sunshine, rag time, blowing in the breeze
Midnight looks right standing more at ease
Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream
Is saddened by the news
It cannot be a part of me
For not it's a part of you

About as low as I felt in a long time
And I know that I did a wrong at the wrong time
It's plain to see, she's down on me
And I know she'll feel that way for a long time
I was high on top but I didn't know it
Tell me, why did I have to go and blow it?
I used my lines too many times
And now I've got a badly hurt heart to show it
Took me too long to discover
How much I really love her
How'd I ever end up in this bind?
What a drag
There she goes looking for pretty clover
No one knows what it's like until it over
Without a doubt, I just found out
And I suppose I never did get to know her
Tear drop city, Tear drop city
Took me to long to discover
How much I really love her
How'd I ever end up in this bind
What a drag
About as low as I felt in a long time...

Time and time again
Naughty girls get me in trouble
When I fly too high
Something's bound to burst the bubble
You say this is love
Wonder if you're feeling lonely
Tell me if you please
Is this for this evening only
Or will it be for long, long time
Or just a passing fancy
Will it be for a long, long time
I feel as though it can be
I'll just what and see
What tomorrow has to bring me
A love that is oh-so-true
Or another girl who's free and easy
So, I'll just wait and see
What tomorrow has to bring me
A love that is oh-so-true
Or another girl who's free and easy
Time and time again

Girl, don't you know every time I see you smiling,
It hurts so bad, cause when I see you, I start crying,
I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying,
That falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying.
Oh, don't walk away,
How, how can I make you stay?
Don't turn away,
I can still hear you saying those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.
Girl, don't you know we could work it out with talking?
You won't look around or slow down your walking,
I've given you everything with kiss to seal it,
You had to get your kicks out of trying to steal it.
Now, I'm standing here,
Strange, strange voices in my ears,
I feel the tears,
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh.

To your brother, to your sister, to your misses, to your mister.
To your friends, to your foes, give the love around and back around it goes.
It all comes from the top and it spreads right round
Treat a man wrong he's gonna pass it on down
To the next in line, who's probably his wife bringing up his kids
Now watchin' mamma cry
And they pick it up, cause they learn everything
Life has a funny way of going in a ring,
End up growing up in trouble with the law
Standing in the cuffs that the father once wore
Now it seems that every brand new generation
Have all been growing up with cracks in the foundation
Their trying to fill the holes of a whole damn nation
That's lost its trust (that's lost its trust)
We gotta change before the train leaves the station
And realize the revolution ain't a revelation it takes blood,sweat, tears,
innovation
It starts with us, it starts with us.
[Chorus]
Yeah, it starts by giving love to your brother,
Giving love to your sister,
Giving love to your misses,
Love to your mister
Giving love to your friends,
Love to your foes,
Give the love around and back around it goes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Round it goes, round it goes,
Round it goes goes goes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Oh we're all just folks working in a wheel
Spinning all around life's cruel battlefield
Draw circles in the sand on a rainy day,
Watch it wash away
I bet it shows up on a sunny beach a thousand miles away
Flutter from a butterfly forms a storm
Over half a million people die
Oh we don't care because we're all desensitized
We don't realize we're putting all this shit before our children's eyes
Now every brand new generation
Have all been growing up with cracks in their foundation
We're tryna fill a holes of a whole damn nation
That's lost it's trust (that lost it's trust)
We gotta change before the train leaves the station
And realize the revolution ain't a revelation
It takes blood, sweat, tears, innovation
It starts with us, it starts with us.
[Chorus]
Give the love around and back around it goes (around it goes)
Give the love around and back around it goes (around it goes)
Love to your friends (around it goes)

See the thing about Karma is she loves a bit of drama, yeah
Loves to hunt you down and pay ya back for the things you did
Before you turn a positive to a negative
Better pray before you know exactly who the fuck you're dealing with
This is not a dress rehearsal, let me tell you kid
Whatever you put out there is coming back again
Years may burn (ohh)
Tables gonna turn
Karma's coming back around
Either way you're gonna learn
To give love to your neighbor, love to yourself
It don't matter bout your status
Man your health is your wealth
We can all point a finger but there's four pointing back at yourself
I'll be the bigger man now
Give a little help

If you're standing with your suitcase
But you can't step on the train
Everything's the way that you left it
I still haven't slept yet
And if you're covering your face now
But you just can't hide the pain
Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without you
If the truth is you're a liar
Then just say that you're okay
I'm sleeping on your side of the bed
Goin' out of my head now
And if you're out there tryna move on
But something pulls you back again
I'm sitting here tryna persuade you like you're in the same room
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you could still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back, if you ever come back
Now they say I'm wasting my time
'Cause you're never comin' home
But they used to say the world was flat
But how wrong was that now?
And by leavin' my door open
I'm riskin' everything I own
There's nothing I can lose in a break-in that you haven't taken
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you can still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
Oh just remember this, oh just remember this
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back

Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life
And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that
Papa had three outside children
And another wife, and that ain't right
Heard some talk Papa doing some store front preachin'
Talking about saving souls and all the time leechin'
Dealing in dirt, and stealing in the name of the Lord

And when he died, all he left us was alone

I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal
To pay his bills
Hey Momma,
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son

Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.
Birds are singing and the children are playing,
there's plenty of work and the bosses are paying.
Not a sad word should my young heart be saying,
but fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.
Next time I'll be kinder, won't you please help me find her?
Someone just remind her 'bout this love she left behind her.
'Til I find her I'll be tryin' now, ev'ry day I'm more inclined to find her,
inclined to find her, inclined to find my baby.
Been a-looking ev'rywhere, baby, I really, really care.
Oh, determination is fading fast. . . Inspiration is a thing of the past. . .
Can't see my hope's gonna last. . .
good things are bad and what's happy is sad.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.
I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong,
I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong,

That's life, that's what people say.
You're riding' high in April,
Shot down in May.
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top in June.
That's life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin' on dreams
But I don't let it get me down,
Cause this ol' word keeps getting around.
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting,
But my heart just won't buy it.
If I didn't think it was worth a try,
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die.

Whoa-whoa-oh-oh-
Mmm-
Now I-m the kinda guy who don't believe
That chivalry is dead, no
'Cause I believe a woman should be treated
With the utmost respect, mmm-hmm-
Don't be afraid, don't turn and walk away
I want to get to know ya, well
Don't be ashamed, don't say that love's to blame
Just come and look me over
You'll find a heart
You'll find a heart that you've always been lookin' for
How could anybody ask for much more, woo-hoo-
Now I like openin' doors
Pickin' up (Yeah) her hanky (Yeah) off the floor
Treat her like a lady
(Treat her like lady])
Light her cigarette if she smokes
Even (Help her with her coat), well
Treat her like a lady (Treat her like lady)
In this world of liberation
It's so easy to forget, mmm-
That it's so nice to have a man around
To lend a helping hand, you can bet, bet you can, baby
When I was young, my mama used to say, Boy
A woman's like a flower, with love on her you shower
Ever since that day, her words never went away
I always will remember to treat my baby tender
You'll find a heart
You'll find a heart that you've always been lookin' for
How could anybody ask for much more, whoa-ooh-ooh-
Now I like openin' doors
Pickin' up (Yeah) her hanky (Yeah) off the floor
Treat her like a lady (Treat her like lady)
Light her cigarette if she smokes
Even (Help her with her coat), oh, whoa
Treat her like a lady

Compliment her in her hair
Even help her with her chair
Treat her like a lady

What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu

It would be easier to take the wet from water or the dry from sand
Than for anyone to try to separate us or stop us from holding hands, 'cause...
[Chorus: ]
I love you, I love you from the bottom of my heart
And what love has joined together, what love has joined together
Can nobody take it apart.
It would be easier to take the cold from the snow or the heat from fire
Than for anyone to take me love from you 'cause you're my heart's desire,
and...
[Chorus]
Even if they separate us 1000 miles apart
We will still be together in each other's hearts
It would be easier to change all the seasons of the year
Than for anyone to change the way I feel about you, I love you dear

What love has joined together
What love has joined together.

For the love without separation

Grab hold of her fast

Also appeared on the live Thin Lizzy album BBC Radio One Live In Concert 1983
A Night In The Life Of A Blues Singer
(Lynott)
In the old days
I could sing the blues
I had nothin' to live for
And nothin' to lose
And all the time
I was paying my dues
Like an old blues singer
And I had no troubles then
But I had lots of friends
Friends they come and go
And sometimes friendship ends
All the time, I've had a friend on whom I depend
So blues singer
Oh...
Oh mama, mama, mama, this is your boy
Oh mama, mama, mama, mama, my soul's been destroyed
Oh mama, mama, your pride and joy
Is a blues singer
An old blues singer
And the party's over now
Everybody's goin' home
The band is packin' up
And I'm on my own
Oh, but I miss you now you're gone
Mama, your boy's a blues singer
Such an old blues singer
Nothin, oh but nothin's changed
Oh sometimes you win sometimes you lose
I lost ya mama
I lost ya mama
In the old days
I could sing the blues
Had nothin' to live for
And nothin' to lose
But all the time
You must chose
I'm an old blues singer
Oh...

I put my money in the suitcase
And headed for the big race
I felt a chill on my backbone
As I hung up the telephone
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
To lose means trouble, to win pays double
And I got me a heavy bet
Cold, cold sweat
They say chances on the outside
Are looking pretty slim
I've been so lucky on the inside
I feel I'm going to win
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
Take a little money, there's nothing left to lose
And I got me a heavy bet
Cold, cold sweat
I've got me a whole month's wages
I haven't seen that much in ages
I might spend it in stages
And move out to Las Vegas
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
To lose means trouble, to win pays double
And I got me a heavy bet
Cold, cold sweat
I put my money in a suitcase
They say chances on the outside
I got a whole months wages
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Stone cold crazy

You took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
My father he's going crazy
Say's I'm living in a trance
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright, alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On the long hot summer night
It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten
Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
But it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end

Little lady let me take a little bit of your love
<@#Thin_Lizzy_Memory_Pain.txt#@>
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
You see I'm living in the memory
Of a day that has passed and gone
Everytime I see a woman
You know it makes me think about mine
Everytime I see a woman
You know it makes me think about mine
You see I'm living in the memory
Of a woman I've left behind
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
It serves me right to suffer
It serves me right to be alone
Now I'm living in the memory
Of a woman that has passed and gone
<@#Thin_Lizzy_Mexican_Blood.txt#@>
She was a Mexican girl, she had Mexican blood
I seen it the night that she died
She was a Mexican girl, she had Mexican blood
Oh, how she could drive that Mexican boy wild
He's on the run near El Paso
And he'll cross all across America
He's leaving behind old Mexico
And his girl, that pretty Mexican girl that died
She had Mexican blood
He was a Mexican boy with a Mexican smile
And he drank a little tequila
He was a Mexican boy in a Mexican town
And, oh, how he loved his young senorita
Now and then he'd cross the Rio Grande
And he'd come back a wanted, hunted man
And his Mexican girl was his Mexican prize
And that girl was his girl, that pretty Mexican girl that died
She had Mexican blood
He was a cowboy's boy and a cowboy's son
And on his side he had a gun
He was a cowboy's boy, he was the law
He was out looking for someone
That night he rode into town
The Mexican boy tried to gun him down
That's when his heart broke up inside 'cause lying on the ground
Was his girl, that pretty Mexican girl, she died
She had Mexican blood
He loved her, and she loved him
And when he lost her
Oh, how it hurt him
He loved her
I seen it the night she died
That's when he lost her
Now his heart is broken
He loved her, and she loved him
And when he lost her, he lost everything
<@#Thin_Lizzy_Night_Life.txt#@>
They say that the night life
They say it ain't no good life
But it's my life
I've been a gambler
I've been a thief
And most of my good friends
They don't hold with my belief
They say that the night life
They say it ain't no good life
Oh but buy you know that it's my life
And if you've had troubles
If you've felt them woes
I don't have to tell you
How this whole world is so low
Hey now baby
It can drive you crazy
Oh but baby
Baby, the night life's for me
Just one more time
I'll hit the road
And I want to thank you
I want to thank the Lord
For that old night life
Some say it ain't no good life
But baby, baby
There ain't nothing like this night life
<@#Thin_Lizzy_Return_Of_The_Farmers_Son.txt#@>
Well my father is a farmer
A damn good one at his trade
And he's always loved my mama
Though we laid her in the grave
I've been down, I've been down
A hustler and a cheat
I'll always love my father
His kind heart can't be beat
I'd spit in your face if you laughed at me
Don't you know, don't you know
I might be a dipper, but I ain't a thief
Don't you know, don't you know
Oh yeah
Come on
Well my father is a farmer
Used to smack me on the ass
Used to dress me up in my Sunday best
Get down, get down to Sunday mass
And I've been down, so down
Don't you know, don't you know
I'll always love my father
I love him so
<@#Thin_Lizzy_Romeo_And_The_Lonely_Girl.txt#@>
Romeo and the lonely girl
They seemed to hit it off
Till Romeo told the lonely girl
"I must take my leave, my love"
It was these few words I overheard
And thought, "I would move in"
But before I could the lonely girl
Had fallen in love again
Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own
Oh poor Romeo
Romeo he had it rough
The guy you'd like to burn
But everything that Romeo had
You can bet it was well earned
For all his good looks there were scars that he took
And a lesson to be learned
Never judge lovers by a good looking covers
The lover might be spurred
Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own
Oh poor Romeo
Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own
Oh poor Romeo
Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own
Oh poor Romeo
Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own
Oh poor Romeo
Romeo he like to put it around
He was everybody's friend
But in the end even Romeo found
On no one could he depend
For all his charms in someone else's arms
Lonely girl safely lay
When the train came in it had to leave again
And Romeo pulled away
Oh poor Romeo
Sitting all on his own
Oh poor Romeo
Poor Romeo [Repeat: x6]

When the spirit slips away
There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can say
May the angels be watching over you
When your spirit slips away
When the darkness starts to fall
You're on your own and your back's against the wall
May the angels bring their flame to you
When your spirit slips away
And when the music that makes you blue
Unfolds its secrets, the mysteries are told to you
May the angels sing rejoice to you
That fateful day when your spirit slips away

Now I'm not the type to worry
Especially if it's concerning my health
Oh no, I'd never worry
I'd much rather do something else
I'm changing my point of view
Ever since I caught me the sugar blues
Oh that sugar
It adds a little sweetness in your life
Oh sugar
Won't you add a little sweetness to my life
You see I'm changing my point of view
Ever since I caught me the sugar blues
See I'm changing my point of view
Ever since I caught me the sugar blues
Yes, I'm changing my point of view
Ever since I got me the sugar blues
You see I'm changing my point of view
Ever since I caught me,
Ever since I caught me the sugar blues
Oh yes
I need me a sugar beet
I'm not the type that would complain
Just give me sugar cane
Give me

<@#Thin_Lizzy_Sweet_Marie.txt#@>
Sweet Marie you mean a lot to me
In my memory I hold you very dearly
Once in all my dreams, my plans, hopes and future schemes
There was sweet Marie
But my home is where my heart is
And my heart is not at home
Whenever we are parted
I feel so all alone
With twilight falling
The moon is calling sweet Marie
What the sea tells only sea shells
Are whispering sweet Marie
Into the darkness goes this message sweet Marie
Some lovers are sometimes parted
They must end what they have started
All that's left is the broken hearted, I must depart my sweet Marie
Somewhere out in Arizona
Such a long way from California
I felt so alone there
I was two thousand miles away from home there
Tonight we're going to play Boston
I still don't know what the hell is going on
Oh but I wrote this song
To keep me thinking on about my sweet Marie
Sweet Marie you mean a lot to me
This melody it keeps haunting me
My sweet Marie
In harmony, it's will me constantly, sweet Marie
But my home is where my heart is
My heart it's not at home
Now that we are parted
I feel so all alone
<@#Thin_Lizzy_The_Boys_Are_Back_In_Town.txt#@>
Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed that much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told 'em you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she got
When I say she was cool she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin'
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)
Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town
Just spread the word around
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill
The drink will flow and the blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting longer, it won't be long
Won't be long till the summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town again)
The boys are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boys are back in town again
<@#Thin_Lizzy_The_Friendly_Ranger_At_Clontarf_Castle.txt#@>
The friendly ranger paused
And scooping a bowl of beans
Spreading them like stars
Falling like justice on different scenes
"I'm damned"
"indeed, comrade"
"I'm being bombed"
And all the people's faces turned strawberry blonde
By the morning gate the friendly ranger waits
For the sun making sure it's not late
"just in time" "no need to fear" "well, just in case"
And all the people are happy for another year
And in the evening shade he climbs upon the sun
Getting it's glow
He goes on
Singing this song
To feel the goodness glowing inside
To walk down a street with my arms about your hips, side by side
To play with a sad eyed child till he smiles
To look at a starry sky at night, realize the miles
To see the sun set behind the steeple
Clontarf castle, no king, queen or knightly people
A coal fire and it's pouring rain
To wave goodbye to a very good friend, never meet again
Little thoughts bring little memories of you to me
<@#Tiffany_All_The_Talking.txt#@>
(Tiffany, J. Brooks, T. Feehan)
I don't like the way I feel
But I don't understand
Why I hide the things I do
And I don't care who's wrong or right
I just need a reason,
A reason just to see it through
And I don't care if I've wasted all your time
'Cause there's dreams that go by
And dreams that you find
And I know what you mean
But I can't hear you
With all the talking, with all the talking
And I know how it seems
But I can't find you
With all the talking
I never mentioned love affairs
That run through my mind
And all the faces you won't see
And you don't know your words have changed
So you keep talking
And there might be something for me
And I don't care if I've wasted all your time
'Cause there's dreams that go by
And dreams that you find
And I know what you mean
But I can't hear you
With all the talking, with all the talking
And I know how it seems
But I can't find you
With all the talking
Can't you feel it
Can't you see
This world just gets me down
When all at once you find a way
To be satisfied
And I don't like the way I feel
But I don't understand
Why I hide the things I do
And I don't care who's wrong or right
I just need a reason,
I need a reason,
I need a reason
Oh I know what you mean
But I can't hear you
With all the talking, with all the talking
And I know how it seems
But I can't find you
With all the talking, with all the talking
I know what you mean,
I know what you mean,
I know what you mean,
I know what you mean

Let me please you

Come and teach me
What love has taught you
Come and please me

How I can tell you understand
Givin my love a second chance
I've broken trust that we once had
I need you
It's doesn't matter what's done before
I know it's time for me to close that door
I always knew that you'd be back for more
Move your body baby with me
Kama sutra baby with me
Move you body baby with me
Kama sutra baby with me
Hold you hands out to me
Out to me
Hold you hands out to me
Out to me
Hold you hands out to me
Out to me

The imagination so wild and new
You doing things you said you couldn't do
Holding positions til we both get it through
now I like it
My imagination so wild and new
I'm doing things I never thought I could do
Holding positions til we both get it through
how you love me
Pleasing my body baby as you want
It's the beginning dance into the dawn
Love's a bridge and it's time to jump
<@#Tiffany_Loneliness.txt#@>
(harold beaty)
Baby like a symphony
That's how love should be
Like a haunting melody
Haunting my memory
Ooh
One day loneliness will bring
You and I together again
No doubt in my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
You were my first love
And that your heart will always remember
You'll be my last love
Oh I'm yours, I'm yours
Till the first of forever
Loneliness will bring you and I together again
Loneliness will bring you and I together again
So if your new love
Calls another name in her sleep
That's one of the symptoms
That your hold on her is growing weak
So don't torture your heart
By paying for one more heartache
You're only human
You're entitled to more than one mistake
Loneliness will bring you and I together again
Loneliness will bring you and I together again
Baby like a symphony
That's how love should be
Like a haunting melody
Haunting my memory
Ooh
One day loneliness will bring
You and I together again
No doubt in my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
You were my first love
And that your heart will always remember
You'll be my last love
Oh I'm yours, I'm yours
Till the first of forever
Loneliness will bring you and I together again
Loneliness will bring you and I together again
Loneliness will bring you and I together again
Loneliness will bring you and I together, together again

All I want is written on my face
You'e bound to find something
And all your words that held me into place
Were nothing but lies
Another time I might have watched the things I said
But I can't see
Somebody...
Open my eyes for a little while little while
Make me forget all the things I see
Til then til then don't know what I'll see
Til then til then don't care what I'll see
I'll stand and stare until I go blind
Will you open my eyes?
Don't mind me
You know me inside out
That's the way that you left me
And you won't find me
Begging for a chance
To have you burn me again.

<@#Tiffany_Promises_Made.txt#@>
You said goodbye
And broke this heart inside of me
Teardrops fell
Like hours to eternity
The room was silent
As some forgotten melody
Your words of steel
Still echo in my memory
Promises made, promises broken
Promises made, promises broken
I thought we had a chance
To really make it last
Now the future looks to me
Like some unwelcome guest
I'll be alright
As soon as I get over you
But this time it won't be
Such an easy thing to do
Promises made are
Promises broken
Caught up in the sorrow
Tangled in dreams
In the lonely hours
Of silent screams
In the heart of the darkness
I break down
I feel the spirit of you
All around
Promises made are
Promises broken
Promises made are
Promises broken

Sometimes I think about Saturday's child
And all about the times when we were running wild
I've been a-searchin' for the dolphins in the sea
Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me
This old world will never change the way it's been
And all our ways of war can't change it back again
I've been a-searchin' for the dolphin in the sea
Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me
Lord, I'm not the one to tell this old world how to get
along
I only know that peace will come when all our hate is gone
I've been a-searchin' for the dolphin in the sea
Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me

When there's wine in your belly
Love rhythm's on your tongue
For you are a woman
And each man has been too young
But for me you were a lover
Gently under your cover
Your sheet reeks of odours
Oh i came here to hold and be held for a while
I've been drifting like a dream out on the sea
I've been drifting in between you and me
Everytime i think about you
I can't remember what i said or did
Was right or wrong, you know i just don't remember
All i wanna be is what you mean to me
All i wanna be is what you mean to me
Late last night as i dreamed in dizzy sunlight
I thought i heard your bare feet up the stairs
Just like a fool, just like a fool
I've been drifting
Like a dream out on the sea
I've been drifting in between what used to be

She's this memory that i hold all around
She's this dream that i always hold to believe
I wanna go upon a mountain
And sing my love and sing my love
I wanna sing it high, sing it down low
Then i'm gonna know how long it's gonna last
Then i'm gonna know how long it's gonna last
Well you know your moses, oh lord he lost his way
Ah, and your jesus don't remember the words
Well then i guess it's just you and me brother
All alone in this cold world
All alone in this cold world
Ah, you gotta go upon a mountain
And learn to sing your love, learn to sing your love
You know i can sing it high, sing it down low

To the hills where I can hear
The harbor bells ring slavery
Where the fortune teller sighs to me
O I see your woman in the raw
Ride a mare of stone and howl
I woke up
While morning built
The world with light,
Crossing their hearts,
Twelve sailor boys all stood in a ring
Round our bed,
And from the grass a dancer rose,
Shivering,
Oh the sailors pointing
Out to sea
And the dancer diving
Up the sky
'Til we forgot the day

I tore apart the prison and I hid you in my hand
In the blue light of Christmas-time, Santa Claus was kind
I wonder if you'll ever grow
Oh far enough to throw
Away the lies of no and yes
And love my quietness
Or will you only freeze and frown and lose what you have found?
In the white light of Easter seas'n will you live again?
Today the coin is in the air
And we are here and there
And where and when have caught us in
The web of violence
I pray to all the world as one that day will bring the sun
In the scarlet light of Valentine's our paper hearts are blind

Every... O.K.
<@#Tim_McGraw_Angel_Boy.txt#@>
My mother said there's only one way
A sweet angel boy, narrow and straight
Timing his past, teachings they fade
Now their angel boy has gone astray
I've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath on my skin
Dip me into the water, wash me again
Can I still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have I gone too far now
Have I lost my wings
I found a priest, I spoke my mind
Asked if I'd sinned one too many times
He said "My son, you're only a man"
Then I said, "Sir, you don't understand"
I've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath on my skin
Dip me into the water, wash me again
Can I still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have I gone too far now
Have I lost my wings
God help us all for what we have done
We've lost our way, we can't find the Son
We make our beds, we seal our fate
Is there still time, or is it too late
We've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath our my skin
Dip us into the water, wash us again
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have we gone too far now
Have we lost our wings
We've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath our my skin
Dip us into the water, wash us again
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have we gone too far now
Have we lost our wings
Have we lost our wings

Her hat is hanging by the door
The one she bought in Mexico
It blocked the wind, it stopped the rain
She'd never leave that one
So she can't be really gone
The shoes she bought on Christmas Eve
She laughed and said they called her name
It's like they're waiting in the hall
For her to slip them on
So she can't be really gone
[Chorus:]
I don't know when she'll come back back
She must intend to come back
And I've seen the error of my ways
Don't waste the tears on me
What more proof do you need
Just look around the room
So much of her remains
Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away at chapter twenty one
So she can't be really gone
Just look around this room
So much of her remains
Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away with so much left undone
So she can't be really gone
No she can't be really gone
<@#Tim_McGraw_Comfort_Me.txt#@>
Wake me my lady don't let me sleep
Open my eyes to the wonders you keep
Let me look at you see how you shine
I'll fall in love like I've done every time
Lay me in soft green grass
Down where the river runs
Under the mountain caps
Gold with the setting sun
Walk me along the bay
Beyond the verdant trees
Carry me with your grace
Forever comfort me
You walk on water searching the east
The souls of the masses pass at your feet
Looking up at you with tears in their eyes
Fathers of fathers of fathers gone by
[Chorus]
Walk me down old main streets
Ride me down rusty rails
Fields full of summer wheat
Peppered with rounded bales
Steeples where church bells ring
Lighthouses by the sea
Reach out through gathered storms
Faithfully comfort me
I am your tired I am your poor in spirit
Yearning to breathe, breathe free
Breathe free
Lay me in soft green grass
Down where the river runs
Under the mountain caps
Gold with the setting sun
[Chorus]
Comfort Me
<@#Tim_McGraw_Damn_Country_Music.txt#@>
I packed it all on a whim
Threw an old Hank cassette tape in
Dad's '84 rusty Ford
He swore we'd never make it
I quit my job, let my momma down
Broke an angel's heart on the way out
Of town
Pulled my roots from the ground for
The hum of wheels on the blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
Tells you everything you have that's worth losin'
Damn country music
You might get lost in the lights
The things that keep you up all night
Whiskey straight 3 a.m.
Chasin' songs in your head
It's the sweetest highs, the lowest lows
Needin' yes and hearin' no
Just another so-so
Believe me i know
It's the hum of wheels on the blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
It'll take you, break you
Damn sure make you
Do things you never thought you'd be doing
Damn country music
When the money, the fame
The lights on your name
All fade away
Well you'll still be a slave to
The hum of wheels on the blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
Tells you everything you have that's worth losing
Damn country music
Damn country music

Sex and the city and Indian food,
I never tried 'em, not until you,
But lord it's lookin' like you left me with some habits I can't break.
I feel kinda guilty whenever I cuss
I lay in bed at night and I think about us
Maybe it's because of all the love you taught me how to make
You changed me, baby
And given enough time, girl, you might have saved me
But then again you might have just gone crazy
Tryin' to love a music man
Don't worry, honey
I understand why you went runnin' from me
I guess, I really should have seen it comin'
I'll always die by my own hand
Ran into your daddy last Saturday night
I had to admit it he might have been right
Oh, all the times he told me that you're just too good for me
You changed me, baby
And given enough time, girl, you might have saved me
But then again you might have just gone crazy
Tryin' to love a music man
Don't worry, honey
I understand why you went runnin' from me
I guess, I really should have seen it comin'
I'll always die by my own hand
Oh, you changed me, baby
And given enough time, girl, you might have saved me
But then again you might have just gone crazy
Tryin' to love a music man
Don't worry, honey
I understand why you went runnin' from me
I guess, I really should have seen it comin'
I'll always die by my own hand
Girl, I don't blame you for nothin'
I'll always die by my own hand

I thought that was your voice
I thought that was my car
Now we ain't ever met before
But I know who you are
You're living in my house
And I'm living in a tent
And don't laugh, this second job of mine
Is paying both our rents
You're out here buying 'Happy Meals'
And I'm eating rice and pintos
You so much as crack a smile at me, man
I'll come through this here window
Well you took my wife
And you took my kids
And you took that life
That I used to live
My pride, the pool, the boat, my tools, my dreams, the dog, the cat
Yeah I think that's just about everything
Oh I almost forgot
Do you want fries with that?
Your ketchup's in the bag
And a check is in the mail
I hope your chicken's raw inside
And I hope your bun is stale
I'm supposed to tell you
"Please come back"
But how bout this instead?
I hope you both choke on a pickle
Man, that would tickle me to death
I don't know what you're waiting on
You're holding up the line
Oh man, you ain't got no change coming back
Are you out of your mind?
Well you took my wife
And you took my kids
And you took that life
That I used to live
My pride, the pool, the boat, my tools, my dreams, the dog, the cat
Yeah I think that's all there is
Do you want fries with that?
Well you took my wife
And you took my kids
And you stole that life
That I used to live
My pride, the pool, the boat, my tools, my dreams, the dog, the cat
Yeah I think that about covers it
Do you want fries with that?
<@#Tim_McGraw_Everybody_Hates_Me.txt#@>
Well Joe got a promotion
He's up there on top
Everybody was cheerin' him on
He deserves everything he's got
Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B.
The one everybody loves cuttin' down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide the jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place
Where everybody hates me
(Now check this out)
Well Bill got a promotion
He knocked Joe back down
Now Joe's everybody's long lost friend (laugh)
He's back in the crowd
Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B.
The one everybody loves cuttin' down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide the jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place
Where everybody hates me
Well everybody wants to be the big dog
Want to wag that big dog tail
But 'til they are they want to see the big dog fail
You pay your dues and you get your breaks
Then your the S.O.B.
The one everybody loves to hate
It just comes naturally
They all smile right to your face, and hide the jealousy
That's just the way it goes and I can't wait
'Til everybody hates me
<@#Tim_McGraw_Everywhere.txt#@>
We were born in this little town
Growin' up I was countin' down
Every single day
'Til we made our get away
But you said you could never see yourself
Tryin' to make a life anywhere else
This would be your home
And I was on my own
But ever since you said good bye
I've been out here on the wind
And baby you would be surprised
All the places you have been
I've seen you in
[Chorus]
Albuquerque
Waitin' out a blizzard
Arizona
Dancin' 'cross the desert
Watchin' the sun set in Monterey
Girl I swear just the other day you were
Down in Georgia
Pickin' them peaches
In Carolina
Barefoot on the beaches
No matter where you choose to be
In my heart I'll always see you
Everywhere
Now days
When I'm passin' through
The conversation always turns to you
And I hear you're doin' fine
Livin' out by the county line
Got a man that's home every night
A couple of kids and the kind of life
That you want to lead
Guess you could say the same for me
But you and I
Made our choices
All those years ago
Still I know
I'll hear your voice
And see you down the road
Maybe in
Oklahoma
Drivin' 'cross the prairie
In Dallas, Texas
Isn't that where we
Always said we would
Like to try
Never did
So maybe that's why you're on
Every highway
Just beyond the high-beams
Right beside me
In all of my sweet dreams
No matter where you choose to be
In my heart I'll always see you
In
[Chorus]
<@#Tim_McGraw_Good_Girls.txt#@>
Jesse called her best friend Jenny
Said we're goin' out tonight
Gonna chase the moon
Right out of the sky
We're gonna drink Boone's Farm
Like we were seventeen again
You can't say no
As long as we've been friends
Good girls
Always walk the line
Good Girls
Never let you seem them cry
Took off like a bottle rocket
Through a field of corn
And hell hath no fury
Like a woman scorned
Then Jesse lit a cigarette and said
My man's been sleepin' around
And I know who it is
And Jenny's head fell down
Good girls
Always walk the line
Good girls
Never let you see them cry
Next mornin' the paper read
Two killed in a fatal crash
The train never had time to stop
They were parked right on the tracks
The only witness was
A weeping willow on a faraway hill when
Jesse told Jenny
Hey if I can't have him neither one of us will
Good Girls
Always walk the line
Good Girls
Never let you see them cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Jesse called her best friend Jenny
Said we're goin' out tonight
Gonna chase the moon
Right out of the sky
<@#Tim_McGraw_Hey_Now.txt#@>
On a night like this
Ain't what I'm lookin' for
The music's slow and the beer is warm
You came in the room
Put that record on
Started groovin' to that funky song
And I said, hey now,
It don't seem that late now
I thought the party was windin' down
Hey now look what I just found
Gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray, I'll
See how this plays out
Until you looked at me
I was just about to leave
I was just about to leave
Watch dancin' there,
Lit the whole place up,
Made me wonder where you came from, yeah
Some kinda paradise,
Some kind of heaven sent,
I know it might 2 a.m.
But hey now,
It don't seem that late now
I thought the party was windin' down
But hey now look what I just found
Gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray, I'll
See how this plays out
Until you looked at me
I was just about to leave
I was just about to leave
When I saw you, going for your keys
Girl I had to ask you if you'd dance with me
Yeah would you dance with me
You said, hey now,
It don't seem that late now
I thought the party was windin' down
But hey now look what I just found
Gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray, I'll
See how this plays out
Until you looked at me
I was just about to
Hey now,
It don't seem that late now
I thought the party was windin' down
But hey now look what I just found
Gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray, I'll
See how this plays out
Until you looked at me
I was just about to leave
I was just about to leave
Ooh but hey now, hey now
Oh hey now, hey now
Look what I just found
Look what I just found
Gonna dance, gonna dance, gonna stay
Gonna do just about everything

You always come back when I'm at my weakest
When I'm fool enough to let you in
Sayin' how this time around is different
Asking if I want to try again
[Chorus]
I do
But I don't
I want to
But I won't
I am
But I ain't
I could
But I just can't
It feels right
But it's wrong
And I've hurt way too long
So when you ask me if I know what I want
I do
But I don't
What resistance I have left within me
I lose each time you're holding me this close
With every bitter sweet kiss, girl, you tempt me
Asking if I want to let you go
[Chorus]
So don't ask me if I know what I want
Cause I do
But I don't

I know you're mad,
And I'm to blame for that.
Yes, I'm sorry again,
For the things I did, the words I said,
If I could I'd take it back.
Why waste the wine in this glass,
The love in this room,
To making up, girl
We're so good at that.
Come on over, sit back down by me,
Let me have it, take it out on me,
Don't hold back, take your time,
Until you forgive me.
Turn down the lights, lock the door,
Leave out leavin' on the floor,
I know you're angry inside,
Let me love it out of you tonight.
I see that smile,
You're tryin' so hard to have.
Who you're tryin' to fool?
I know your game, I know you girl,
Damn you're sexy when you're playin' it cool.
Why waste the wine in this glass,
The love in this room,
To making up, girl
We're so good at that.
Come on over, sit back down by me,
Let me have it, take it out on me,
Don't hold back, take your time,
Until you forgive me.
Turn down the lights, lock the door,

And tell you how much I need you.

I was standing at the end of my rainbow
With no where to go and no pot of gold in sight
All my wishes were way too much to hope for
But when I saw you I knew I'd seen the light
And not a moment too soon
With not a minute to spare
You touched my heart when I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
When my world was filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon
I used to think that love would never find me
And the one who cares was lost somewhere in time
But when you found me I knew I'd found forever
And not a moment too soon
With not a minute to spare
You touched my heart when I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
When my world was filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon
Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon
Not a moment too soon

On a lover's leap with a freeway view
Sittin' on my hood
Thinkin' bout you
Going over in my mind
Every kiss and every fight
Yeah the fool on the hill
Is leading down another night
There were days so hard
I thought I had to go
I'd get in my car
And just follow the road
But this is my home
And it's who I am
And I know I'd stay
If I could make this old town new again
Color other than blue again
I'd have something to do again
Instead of thinking about you again
But the people I know
The places I go
Remind me of you
Oh, won't somebody come around
And make this old town new
There were nights so long
I thought the sun burned out
And there were girls so wrong
I don't want to talk about
I was burning up the night
Yeah, in an alcohol flame
Lightin' up my way
Trying to make this old town new again
Color other than blue again
I'd have something to do again
Instead of thinkin' about you again
But the people I know
The places I go
Remind me of you
Won't somebody come around
And make this old town new
But the people I know and
The places I go
Remind me of you
Love goes wrong but life goes on
And I know what I gotta do
I'm just hangin' around
Tryin' to make this old town new
<@#Tim_McGraw_Set_This_Circus_Down.txt#@>
Sometimes this road, it just keeps winding
Round and round and back again
But you've always kept me smiling
Over every hill, round every bend
Baby you're the one smiling with me when the sun comes up
I got the wheel, you got the map and that's enough
And we go rolling down this highway
Chasing all our crazy dreams
I've gone your way and you've gone my way
And everywhere in between
One of these days we'll find a piece of ground
Just outside of some sleepy little town
And set this circus down
Sometimes I lie awake just thinking
Of all the horizons we have seen
And as another day is sinking
I thank God you're here with me
'Cause baby you're the one laughing with me when the sun goes down
Living on faith and holding on tight to the love we found
And we go rolling down this highway
Chasing all our crazy dreams
I've gone your way and you've gone my way
And everywhere in between
One of these days we'll find a piece of ground
Just outside of some sleepy little town
And set this circus down
And set this circus down
Maybe one of these days, gonna set this circus down
Set this circus down
<@#Tim_McGraw_She_Never_Lets_It_Go_To_Her_Heart.txt#@>
Everywhere I go
They're staring at her
Every man I know
He wants to have her
I guess I ought to be a jealous man
I'd look the other way
They're hittin' on her
Every night and day they telephone her
They try to get to her but I know they can't
[Chorus]
'Cause she never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talking
She starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart
She walks into the room
And everybody watches every move
Hoping she don't love me
I know it by the way they hang around
But they don't realize
There's more to her than what meets the eye
That's why I'm certain
No matter what they do to reach her now
[Chorus]
When they start talking
She starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go (never lets it go)
To her heart
<@#Tim_McGraw_Somebody_Must_Be_Prayin_For_Me.txt#@>
She left Oklahoma for California
Sunglasses on the brim of her hat
Smoke was pourin' from that old Cadillac
But she wasn't turnin' back
Just outside of Blackstaff
Motor blew on her Coupe Deville
Just in time she saw a sign
There was a Texaco waitin' at the bottom of the hill
And she said "somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Must be angels I can't see
Somebody must be prayin' for me" yeah
A boy 'bout twenty climbed out of a truck
All covered in grease and dirt
She said "Hey Charles" but he just laughed
And said "I'm wearin' my daddy's shirt"
He stood there lost in her eyes
And she got lost in his
As the years roll by she would sigh
Every time they kiss
And she'd say "somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Must be angels I can't see
Somebody must be prayin' for me"
Sometimes she stares out the window
And wonders about her Hollywood dreams
But when she tucks her kids in bed
She softly whispers as they fall asleep
Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Ain't it funny how you always find
Just what you need
Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody must be prayin' for me
Prayin' for me yeah
<@#Tim_McGraw_The_Trouble_With_Never.txt#@>
If I never think about her I'll never miss her at all
Never wonder what she's doing never give her a call
Never see her again and I'll be free as a bird
But the trouble with never is never never works
If I never bring her flowers I'll never see her smile
If I never try to kiss her she'll never drive me wild
And I'll never feel the need to say those three little words
But the trouble with never is never never works
I know how to stay care free
Let no one get a hold on me
But I can't keep my hands off her
There's somethin' different 'bout this girl
If I never let me love her I'll never settle down
And I'll never put roots in this God forsaken town
And I'll never say "I do" or step foot in a church
But the trouble with never is never never works
I know how to stay care free
Let no one put a hold on me
But I can't keep my hands off her
There's somethin' different 'bout this girl
If I never think about her I'll never miss her at all
Never wonder what she's doing never give her a call
Never see her again and I'll be free as a bird
But the trouble with never is never never works
Yeah the trouble with never is never never works

Was I out of your mind when you turned to him
What a good time it must have been
Tell me what room was the holiday in
You said you needed a small vacation
Just a couple of days all by yourself
So, off you went in a new direction
And what you found was someone else
So, tell me what room was the holiday in
Was I out of your mind when you turned to him

Six lanes tail lights
Red ants marchin' into the night
They disappear to the left and right again
Another supper
From a sack
A ninety nine cent heart attack
I got a poundin' head and an achin' back
And the camels buried in a big straw stack
[Chorus]
I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close, to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rockin' chairs towards the west
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows
Well I'm from
A map dot
A stop sign on a blacktop
I caught the first bus, I could hop from there
But all o' this glitter is gettin' dark
There's concrete glowin' in the city park
I don't know who my neighbors are
And there's bars on the corner and bars on my heart
I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close, to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rockin' chairs towards the west
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows
I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close, to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rockin' chairs towards the west
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Whoa where the green grass grows

Can't you see, this is me
Can't you see, this is me
Don't walk crowded streets
Choose every dream from a magazine stand
I don't buy into that
All-day TV shows
Sell their souls just to make living easy
I don't buy into that
I don't need satin and lace, no no no
I'll bring a smile to your face
I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake, no
I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Can't you see that this is me
I'm all the woman that I want to be
Can't you see, this is me (a woman)
Can't you see, this is me
Good times can't get enough
Life can be tough but it's all for a reason
I sure buy into that
Life goes around and around
We seek what we found 'cause it's all an illusion
I sure buy into that
I know the waters of fate, yeah, yeah
Will keep on flowing my way
I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake, no no
I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Baby can't you see that this is me
I'm all the woman that I want
I've never been affraid of myself

<@#Tina_Turner_Do_Something.txt#@>
You don't give out, you don't give in
You never seem to be attracted to the sin
The sin of love, the sin of all above
I give you my advice, it can be nice
I know you can't solve the problems of the world
But you don't have to be a precious little toy
Do something, do something
I'll wait a day, I'll wait a week
And I don't just want to be dancing cheek to cheek
It's serious, this thing I need to do
Win or lose, it's all up to you
I can't believe that you could let me go this far
It can't be natural to be the way you are
Do something, do something
I've got this weakness, I'm losing power
I need your sweetness right here and now yeah
Deeper and deeper, hour after hour
I should be ruling but I'm not satisfied no, no
Not satisfied, I'm not satisfied
When I'm alone, can't do it on the phone
Won't let you go until I get just what I need
My heart is breaking oh baby baby please
Do something do something baby baby okay
Come on come on come on do something
Get down on your knees and do something
Oh baby, please, do something

When you say the things, you say you gotta mean it
And when you do the things you do, it's gotta come from the heart
Something's gone, I can't explain
The heat is missing from the plain
Can't deny it, there's a link missing from the chain
There's something wrong with you and me
When more than one adds up to three
Don't know the reason, but the fact is plain to see
It's the touch that you lose, and the words you don't say
It's our love you abuse, don't you throw it away
When you do what you do that you do to me
Don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
when you do what you do without love, without love
I'm gonna paint a picture of you
The only colour I need is blue
You're out of love, baby you know it's true
Tell me why and I'll try to understand
Cause I can cry when you do what you do to me
Don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
When you do what you do without love
It's the touch that you lose, and the words you don't say
It's the love you refuse, don't you throw it away
When you do what you do that you do to me
Don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
Then you know it's a crime that you kill me up
When you do what you do without love, without love
Don't know what you're doing, what you're doing without love

The Lord knows I've tried
To do what's right
For five whole long years I stayed home
Both day and night
And I smell trouble
I smell trouble ahead of me
Yes, worries and trouble
No they just won't let me be
People talk about me
Both night and day
I cried Lord, please forgive them
And I go the other way
I smell trouble
Lord, I smell trouble ahead of me
Yes, worries and trouble
No they just won't let me be
And from now on
I will not run and hide
I'm gonna face trouble with a smile
And hope they pass me by
I smell trouble
Lord, I smell trouble way up there ahead of me
Yes, worries and trouble
Lord, they just won't, they just won't
They just won't let me be, oh, no

Even though the night is early there's a fire that whispers hurry
Darling please turn off the lights and lock the door
Come lay down here beside me tell me that I'm soft and pretty
And love me like you never have before
If this is our last time make it last me for a lifetime
Don't hold back the love you feel inside why should passion be ashamed
If this is our last time make it last me for a lifetime
Leave me with enough of sunshine to carry me through the rain
In the morning you'll be leaving but tonight there'll be no grieving
I'll have lots of time to cry when you're gone
Let's not waste one precious moment take all of me I'm still your woman
And love me up until the break of dawn
If this is our last time...

There's nothing to fear
Whatever life throws at you
Your friend is here
Right by your side
When love leaves you cold
Lies have been told
I will be there with my open arms
Hurting inside
Please don't hide the pain
I will be there with my open arms
I know what you're saying
I been there myself
Promises withstand
They left me for someone else
Then the tables turn

I can't put my fingers 'cause
Girls, my fingers have been burned
It's an age old situation
The message is clear
Whatever life throws at you

Right by your side
<@#Tina_Turner_Proud_Mary.txt#@>
Why' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do "Proud Mary"
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
<@#Tina_Turner_Show_Some_Respect.txt#@>
I made a resolution and I plan to keep my work
But I need you to make it work
You've got to read the message, understand what's on my mind
Cause not to see would be a crime
And we could lose it anytime
We've got to show some respect
We've got to learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, I know
That if you want to stay close
We've got to show some respect
But I believe in working, then I believe in a little help
Cause I'm not a light unto myself
Without a thing of value, why settle for second best
We don't know what's up ahead
And we can't let ourselves forget
We've got to show some respect
We've got to learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, I know
That if you want to stay close
We've got to show some respect
For the things that I love about you
From the woman that you see inside
Don't let it walk out the door
Love follows every time

Tasted bad food and bad water
And I've read about bad rain
Yeah, I only know of one thing
With an ironclad guarantee
'Cause I ain't never seen no bad love
Never heard about no bad love
I've never really seen no bad love
Well, no bad love well, no bad love
You know how I love music
As long as it ain't square
To be bad music is don't move
Too smooth, no groove happening there
I've known a few bad ladies
All of them got me hurt
Some of them women that seemed sweet
Complete, they treat you like dirt

But I ain't never seen no bad love
Never heard about no bad love
I never really seen no bad love
No bad love, no bad love
I've seen a lot of bad movies
I saw one just last night
Ain't got no action, and it ain't got no plot
That's not what I like
You can even get a bad education
But that won't get you nowhere
But somebody's gonna say
That school ain't cool
What fool wants to go there

I've had bad days and had bad nights
But I never had me no bad love

But I never had me no bad love

Help yourself take a few

We're always told repeatedly
The very best in life is free
And if you want to prove it's true
Baby, I'm telling you this is what you should do
Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
Just say the word and they're yours
Just help yourself to the love in my heart
Your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
And then let's really start to live
My heart has love enough for two
More than enough for me and you
I'm rich with love, a millionaire
I've so much it's unfair
Why don't you take a share
Just help yourself to my lips to my arms
Just say the word and they're yours
Just help yourself to the love in my heart

Could never buy what I can give

Dreams that just won't let me be

Chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Each night in dreams I see your face
Memories time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you gone
I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Oh honey, you know, what lonesome feeling that I have all the time
It's just knowing that I know you'll never be mine
And the dreams that always keeps on hurtin' me in my sleep
I know they're only vows that you and I could never keep
Too far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

How white the ever constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss
Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware, my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart, it's love
<@#Tom_Jones_Never.txt#@>
From the first time that I heard you I knew
I'd be hooked on you forever like the blues
People told me you would hurt me, so untrue
Cos after all these years, you're the one thing thats still here
Cos of you there's no alone
You've been with me through it all
[Chorus]
Never, never, never, never gonna give you up
Running through my blood
Never Never Never Never leaving you behind
Always on my mind
Can't get enough of your highs and your lows
You take me places where nobody goes
And if you went away, I would never be the same
Oh your sweetness is like sugar on my lips
When you're not around its your melody that I miss
Like an old friend you come back to me so quick
And after all this time I've still got you in my life
You and me we're going strong
You and me we still belong

Who will guide me, my friend
For the difficult task that she chose?
Will the sun and the rain
From whose bosom I came
Show me the way to The Rose?

<@#Tom_Lehrer_A_Christmas_Carol.txt#@>
One very familiar type of song is the christmas carol. although it is perhaps
a bit out of season at this time. however, I'm informed by my "disk jockey"
friends - of whom I have none,
In order to get a song popular by christmas time, you have to start plugging
it well in advance. so here goes. it has always seemed to me after all. that
christmas, with it's spirit of giving, o
Us all a wonderful opportunity each year to reflect on what we all most
sincerely and deeply believe in.
I refer of course, to money. and yet none of the christmas carols that you
hear on the radio or in the street, even attempt to capture the true spirit of
christmas as we celebrate it in the unit
Ates. that is to say the commercial spirit. so I should like to offer the
following christmas carol for next year, as being perhaps a bit more
appropriate.
Christmas time is here, by golly,
Disapproval would be folly,
Deck the halls with hunks of holly,
Fill the cup and don't say "when."
Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens,
Mix the punch, drag out the dickens,
Even though the prospect sickens,
Brother, here we go again.
On christmas day you can't get sore,
Your fellow man you must adore,
There's time to rob him all the more
The other three hundred and sixty-four.
Relations, sparing no expense'll
Send some useless old utensil,
Or a matching pen and pencil.
"just the thing I need! how nice!"
It doesn't matter how sincere it
Is, nor how heartfelt the spirit,
Sentiment will not endear it,
What's important is the price.
Hark the herald tribune sings,
Advertising wondrous things.
God rest ye merry, merchants,
May you make the yuletide pay.
Angels we have heard on high
Tell us to go out and buy!
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
Actually I did rather well myself, this last christmas. the nicest present I
received was a gift certificate "good at any hospital for a lobotomy". rather
thoughtful.

Be prepared! As through life you march along.
Be prepared to hold your liquor pretty well,
Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell.
Be prepared! To hide that pack of cigarettes,
Don't make book if you cannot cover bets.
Keep those reefers hidden where you're sure
That they will not be found
And be careful not to smoke them
When the scoutmaster's around
For he only will insist that it be shared.
Be prepared!
Be prepared! That's the Boy Scouts' solemn creed,
Be prepared! And be clean in word and deed.
Don't solicit for your sister, that's not nice,
Unless you get a good percentage of her price.
Be prepared! And be careful not to do
Your good deeds when there's no one watching you.
If you're looking for adventure of a
new and different kind,
And you come across a Girl Scout who is
similarly inclined,
Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared.
Be prepared!

sneaky way of getting into this next
Of popular song which is one of those things about that magic, and romantic
land south of the border.
When it's fiesta time in guadalajara,
Then I long to be back once again
In old mexico.
Where we lived for today,
Never giving a thought to tomara.
To the strumming of guitars,
In a hundred grubby bars
I would whisper "te amo."
The mariachis would serenade,
And they would not shut up till they were paid.
We ate, we drank, and we were merry,
And we got typhoid and dysentery.
But best of all, we went to the plaza de toros.
Now whenever I start feeling morose,
I revive by recalling that scene.
And names like belmonte, dominguin, and manolete,
If I live to a hundred and eighty,
I shall never forget what they mean.
(for there is surely nothing more beautiful in this
World than the sight of a lone man facing singlehandedly
A half a ton of angry pot roast!)
Out came the matador,
Who must have been potted or
Slightly insane, but who looked rather bored.
Then the picadors of course,
Each one on his horse,
I shouted "ole!" ev'ry time one was gored.
I cheered at the bandilleros' display,
As they stuck the bull in their own clever way,
For I hadn't had so much fun since the day
My brother's dog rover
Got run over.
(rover was killed by a pontiac. and it was done with
Such grace and artistry that the witnesses awarded the
Driver both ears and the tail - but I digress.)
The moment had come,
I swallowed my gum,
We knew there'd be blood on the sand pretty soon.
The crowd held it's breath,
Hoping that death
Would brighten an otherwise dull afternoon.
At last, the matador did what we wanted him to.
He raised his sword and his aim was true.
In that moment of truth I suddenly knew
That someone had stolen my wallet.
Now it's fiesta time in akron, ohio,
But it's back to old guadalajara I'm longing to go.
Far away from the strikes of the a.f. of l. and c.i.o.
How I wish I could get back
To the land of the wetback,
And forget the alamo,
In old mexico. ole!

Counting sheep
When you're trying to sleep,
Being fair
When there's something to share,
Being neat
When you're folding a sheet,
That's mathematics!
When a ball
Bounces off of a wall,
When you cook
From a recipe book,
When you know
How much money you owe,
That's mathematics!
How much gold can you hold in an elephant's ear?
When it's noon on the moon, then what time is it here?
If you could count for a year, would you get to infinity,
Or somewhere in that vicinity?
When you choose
How much postage to use,
When you know
What's the chance it will snow,
When you bet
And you end up in debt,
Oh try as you may,
You just can't get away
From mathematics!
Andrew Wiles gently smiles,
Does his thing, and voila!
Q.E.D., we agree,
And we all shout hurrah!
As he confirms what Fermat
Jotted down in that margin,
Which could've used some enlargin'.
Tap your feet,
Keepin' time to a beat,

While you're singing along,

You just can't get away

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon America was young and strong and brave
Lord knows that I didn't have much money
And my old car had seen some better days
You were young and fresh as brand new roses
I was so in love and strong and brave
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon and love was only sixty cents away
I don't think I'd know you if I'd see you I practice my forgettin' till it
works
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon I didn't know the meaning of hurt
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
And sweet magnolias line those country roads
We burned a tank of love most every weekend
And on work days I helped 'em fix the roads
My friends were many and our dreams were certain
Whoever thought we'd go our separate ways
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon and love was only sixty cents away
I don't think I'd know you...
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon and love was only sixty cents away
<@#Tom_T._Hall_Ballad_Of_Bill_Crump.txt#@>
Now I'd hear a lot of tall stories since my business is writin' songs
And every now and then if you listen real close a good true one comes along
And this is the story of old Bill Crump from the North Carolina Hills
Nat Winston of Nashville knew this man real well
He built the church and he built the pews
He built the cradles and the furniture for the schools
Folks in Avery County say that he was better than good
Probably one of the reasons the Lord made wood
Now men have faults and Bill's fault was he loved to sip that corn
He lived ninety some years that way don't guess it was hurtin' him none
You could take him a picture from a catalog he could build anything he'd see
He could make anything that you could make out of the tree
One day Bill said Mama I'm gettin' old I want you to measure me good
I'm goin' out to that wood pile and get myself some wood
And I'm gonna make me a coffin I want it to fit me fine
The way I figure it I've got about enough time
He built the church and he built the pews...
Now Bill worked on that coffin like he was gonna be there awhile
He'd show the folks and rub that wood and then stand back and smile
He used that body for ninety some years figured it had treated him good
And when he left it he put it away in some real fine wood
Oh right now old Bill's sleepin' in the hills of North Caroline
In his homemade coffin hand rubbed walnut velvet lined
Now most folks use their heads and hands and just think of themselves
His body's there but his spirit's someplace else
'Cause he built the church and he built the pews...

We had a duckbill platypus and we had big ole lion
We had a horse with two front teeth and a monkey on a chain
Ridin' on Fox Hollow's Animal Train
Well the skunk got off in Skenectady, we's glad to see him go
The duck got off in Kentucky and the bear got off in Buffalo
The horse got off in Austin, the mink got off in Maine
Ridin' on Fox Hollow's Animal Train
Well the cat jumped on the kangaroo and the elephant fell down
The monkey blew the whistle every time we passed a town
The lion fell asleep and left his tail out in the rain
A-ridin' on Fox Hollow's Animal Train
The beaver lost his toothbrush and the zebra lost his shirt
The possum played the banjo and the pig played in the dirt
We got off in Nashville just to play this little song
Fox Hollow's Animal Train keeps movin' on
And now the possum will play the banjo
If you hear this train a-comin', you just listen for this sound
That means that we're in town
Get on board and we'll all laugh and play some silly games

<@#Tom_T._Hall_Harmonica_Man.txt#@>
An old man stood and stared into the music store window
And he saw a sorta harmonica lyin' there in the sun
He thought of the music the harp could be playing
He closed his old eyes and he started to hum
He hummed an old song bout an unfaithful lover
He hummed the sweet tune about children at play
He hummed the bright song about beer drinking buddies
One about Jesus and uncloudy day
Well he bought the harmonica and he took it on home
With his youth all behind him and livin' alone
He soon learned to play it as pure and as cool as any great master musician
could do
He played an old song bout an unfaithful lover
He played the sweet tune about children at play
He played the bright song about beer drinking buddies
And one about Jesus and uncloudy day
Well they found him one morning lying there on the sofa
Ah but they didn't find his harmonica there
They lowered him down and they put the dirt on him ashes to ashes to Jesus a
prayer
Well the old man's gone and of course his music went with him
And there's a sadness about him you know it seems strange to say
For all of his music and as much as he loved it nobody else even knew he could
play

A mink wears a mink coat the whole year around
Even when he is not going to town
A skunk has a stripped coat, it's pretty he thinks
Although we all know he stinks
An elephant has hide as hard as a rock
A zebra has stripes and the leopard has spots
Sometimes I'm sad when I look at my hide
But I'd rather feel pretty inside
I like to feel pretty inside, don't you?
I like being kind and I like being true
I like to like me when I close my eyes
I like to feel pretty inside, oh, I like to feel pretty inside
If a mink wore a fur coat the whole year around
If he had to wear it when he went to town
If a skunk had a red coat and smell like a rose
Do you think he'd turn up his nose?
If elephants have fur as likely as not
A leopard would have stripes and the zebra have spots
I guess it would be great to have a new hide
But I'd rather feel pretty inside
I like to feel pretty inside, don't you?
I like being kind and I like being true
I like to like me when I close my eyes
I like to feel pretty inside, oh, I like to feel pretty inside
I like to feel pretty inside, don't you?

You're havin' trouble sleepin' nights you want me to come back
But that old train will roll on by, you'll know I never came

I sleep good and I miss a lot of trains
That one way track to no man's love I'll never ride again
I used to lie awake at night callin' out your name
Now I sleep good and miss a lot of trains
Your standin' in the station I can see you in my mind
You think that I'll forgive again, but you're so wrong this time
Your sleepless eyes and selfish heart are waiting there in vain
While I sleep good and miss a lot of trains

That one way track to no man's love I'll never ride again
I used to lie awake at night callin' out your name
Now I sleep good and miss a lot of trains

Way out on the mountain near the sky hiding from the cold realities of life
Shaking that old road dust off my heels I give my heart and mind the chance to
heal
Then I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again
More than likely ride back to the places I have been
In fairness to my music and my friends so I'll go somewhere and sing my songs
again
A raccoon stole my minnows in the night I appreciate his need and his appetite
But like me he doesn't have to roam Lord it's true that man can't live on
bread alone
So I'll go somewhere
Oh it feels so good to have a simple wish where life and death is me and some

Poor king sits with a cold beer in his hand
And he surveys a clear blue kingdom on the sand
So I'll go somewhere

I passed up every date I ever set
I know I'll leave you when my heart is ready
I'm still around, 'cause I'm not ready yet
Well, I've left a hundred times, but you don't know that
Because I'm ashamed to tell how far I get
You didn't, you don't, you'll never love me

Now some went a ridin' and some had to walk
But Lord if that little brown suitcase could talk
Well my brother Quentin the one with a smile
He took that old suitcase and he went to Ohio
And he brought it back on Christmas full of toys and things
And some Bill Monroe records that I soon learned to sing
Well that was the year of fifth seven and the month of July
When I took that old suitcase and I joined the GI's
I followed the pattern set down by the rest
On the inside of the cover I wrote my address

A little while and I'd be on my way back home to you
While I was waitin' for my flight, got out and looked around
Nashville is a groovy little town
I met some entertainers and they had an extra girl
I told them I was just a tourist out to see the world
From one place to another, yes we really made the rounds
Nashville is a groovy little town
Next day they all took me in just like they did before
I guess I'm trying to tell you I won't be home anymore
Now this may sound poetic, but I'm happy as a clown
Nashville is a groovy little town
Remember how I used to sit and drink and play guitar
And I'd get up and sing for all those folks at jody's bar
Well I found out it ain't too bad, the way I pick and sound
Nashville is a groovy little town
You know that nest egg that we buried in the bank awhile
Take it out and spend it darlin', dress yourself in style
You have always been a swinger and now I won't be around
Nashville is a groovy little town
I've got myself a little shack out on ol' hickory lake
And now and then I get a gig and buy myself a steak
Why'know, they published one of my old songs, they're showing it around
Nashville is a groovy little town
You remember all those tranquilizers that I used to take
Well I'm not on those anymore, I'm on old hickory lake
So when you start cryin' here's the best one-liner I have found
What else you got? yes, nashville is a groovy little town

This is the song about the time I nearly starved to death in Roanoke Virginia
I woke up Wednesday morning in my little motel bed
Knowing I would die the minute that I move my head
I felt around to make sure I was in my bed alone
I meet some friendly people when I'm stoned
My payday was on Friday I had two more days to go
Even in my agony I knew that I was broke
Lemme pay the check I said and keep the change my friend
She wiggled out of sight with my last ten
At noon I realized there wasn't any way to eat
For lunch I just went out and shuffled up and down the street
At four o'clock I had a funny feeling in my chest
How long's it take to starve a man to death
I found some pennies in my junk and bought a candy bar
Divided it in pieces and I ate one every hour
I just rolled into town and didn't know a single soul
There wasn't any way to make a loan
[ dobro ]
Thursday morning I was nearly panicked on the job
I heard my stomach growlin' and my head began to throb
I contemplated murder of the folks that brought their lunch
The sudden smell of food would make me jump
Thursday night they run all food commercials on TV
I slept till nine or ten and then I walked the floor to three
Friday morning I looked for some ketchup on my shirts
My mind was gone my legs began to hurt
The last few minutes up to payin' time were all the worst
The minutes were the years it took to build the universe
Finally it came I got my check and made a dash yes I said the man will eat at
last
Running down the sidewalk I could see the words so sweet
The sign was flashin' on and on Eat Eat Eat
A half o'pound of ground round ma'm and please don't cook it long
The frizzle of the grill was like a song
I've traveled this world over and I ain't been hungry much
I've been down in my thinking and I've been down on my luck
But the sweetest meal I've ever had in anybody's town
Was a half a pound of plain ground round ground round

She lived on cigarettes and cookies and tea and said she once had a show on TV
And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie
She talked to babies who had never been born
Said she had dresses that she never had worn
She had sweethearts who came out of the air and said she had a lock of Elvis'
hair
She pushed an old shopping cart around town
She wore sneakers and an old satin gown
She wore diamonds and we knew they were fake
Said she once gave Dolly Parton a break
And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie
She'd sit and stare at the bright morning sun
We were suspicious that she carried a gun
They once considered puttin' Annie in jail she never ever went to pick up her
mail
Then one day there was a big limousine came to town and caused a terrible
scene
A bunch of doctors and lawyers they say and they came to take Annie away
And all us kids around town called her Royal Annie
When Royal Annie was gone I recall they had a meeting at a community hall
They wrote a letter and were tryin' to say they hoped that Annie had enjoyed

Well they'd been looking for her over a year
They were surprised to find her living out here
And Royal Annie sent a small note of thanks and she had 10 million bucks in

You were born on the part of the river of life where the water is troubled and

This day and time there are not many songs to sing a little baby to sleep

I search my mind for a proper subject to set down the reason and rhyme
And I got to thinking it might have been better to be born at some other time
I know you're tired and I know you're weary and I don't like to see you weep
But there just don't seem to be any songs going to sing a little baby to sleep
Too doo dup too doo doo doo doo doo
I'll rock your cradle and your mama will croon that's all the comfort we know
You need a song you can keep on singing cause you've got a long way to go

Your generation might know a song to sing a little baby to sleep

St. Louis got the best of me
I miss your broken China voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Oh, you build it up, you wreck it down
Then you burn your mansion to the ground
Oh, there's nothing left to keep you here
But when you're falling behind in this big blue world
Oh, you've got to hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
Down by the Riverside motel
It's 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store
She closed her eyes and started swaying
But it's so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
Oh, your old hometown's so far away
But inside your head there's a record that's playing
A song called 'Hold On', hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right there
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right there
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
And take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
And take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, baby
You gotta hold on, girl
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on

A big stick, mamma, that'll blow your mind
Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band (yeah)
I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you.
Baby, missed me in the alley, baby, don't you fret
Come back around and don't forget,

Got something better than a swimming pool
Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band

Got no time for the corner boys,
Down in the street makin' all that noise,
Don't want no whores on eighth avenue,
Cause tonight I'm gonna be with you.
'Cause tonight I'm gonna take that ride,
Across the river to the jersey side,
Take my baby to the carnival,
And I'll take you on all the rides,
Sing sha la la la la la sha la la la.
Down the shore everything's alright,
You're with your baby on a Saturday night,
Don't you know that all my dreams come true,
When I'm walkin' down the street with you,
Sing sha la la la la la sha la la la.
You know she thrills me with all her charms,
When I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms,
My little angel gives me everything,
I know someday that she'll wear my ring.
So don't bother me cause I got no time,
I'm on my way to see that girl of mine,
Nothin' else matters in this whole wide world,
When you're in love with a jersey girl,
Sing sha la la la la la la.
And I call your name, I can't sleep at night,
Sha la la la la la la.

Muriel since you left town
The clubs closed down
And there's one more burned out lamppost
On Main Street
Down where we used to stroll
And Muriel
I still hit all the same old haunts
And you follow me wherever I go
And Muriel I see you
On a Saturday night
In a penny arcade
With your hair tied back
And the diamond twinkle
Is in your eye
Is the only wedding ring that I'll buy you
Muriel
And Muriel how many times
I've left this town
To hide from your memory
And it haunts me
But I only get as far
As the next Whiskey bar
I buy another cheap cigar
And I'll see you every night
Hey Muriel
Muriel
Hey buddy
Got a light?

Nobody, nobody, will ever love you
The way that I love you
Cause nobody's that strong
Love's bittersweet, life's treasures deep
No one can keep a love that's gone wrong
Nobody, nobody, gonna love you
The way I could
Cause nobody's that strong
No nobody's that strong
Nobody, nobody, is gonna love you
The way that I love you
Cause nobody is that strong
You've had many lovers,
You'll have many others
But they'll only just break
Your poor heart in two
And nobody, nobody, will love you
The way I could
Cause nobody's that strong,
No nobody's that strong

Poor little lamb now his fleece is all cold
Wakes up in the morning alone
Poor little lamb knows what's coming
Life is an empty cup
Poor little lamb watch your shoulder
Coyote's waiting out there
Nobody will get any older
If we don't find a way out of here
So let's go on a bummer this summer
Where we won't have to be afraid
The world will be on a hummer, boys
And we'll laugh and we'll drink lemonade

Swore to crush his bones.
Ruled by will alone.

Flame becomes a fire.

Forge a blade to slay the stranger.

Choices always were a problem for you.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
What you need is someone strong to use you
Like me,
Like me.
If you want to get your soul to heaven,
Trust in me.
Don't judge or question.
You are broken now,
But faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.
My God's will
Becomes me.
When he speaks out,
He speaks through me.
He has needs
Like I do.
We both want
To rape you.
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life.
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now
And your lies.
<@#Tool_Sober.txt#@>
There's a shadow just behind me,
Shrouding every step I take,
Making every promise empty,
Pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called "must we"
Just before the son has come.
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever.
I just want to start things over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down.
Trust me.
Mother Mary won't you whisper
Something but what's past and done.
Trust me.
I want what I want.

My warning meant nothing.
You're dancing in quicksand.
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in.
And you may never come back again.
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker.
I hope it sucks you down.
Wander in and wandering.
No one even invited you in.
But still you stumble in stumbling.
So suffocate
Or get out while you can.
No one told you to come.
I hope it sucks you down.

One ways, now, and Saturdays and our kittens all wrapped in cement
From cradle to gundrops

And is it right Butterfly they like you better framed and dried
Daddy dear if I can kill one man why not two
Well, nurses smile when you got iron veins
You can't stain their pretty shoes and pom poms and cherry blondes
And their kittens still wrapped in cement
From God's saviors to gundrops

carbon made found her at the
End of a chain "time to race"
She said "race the downhill"
Behind crystalline irises
Loons can drive
Where the world bleeds white
Just keep your eyes on her
Keep
Don't look away
Keep your eyes on her horizon
Bear claw free fall
A gunner's view black and blue
Shred in ribbons of lithium
Blow by blow
Her mind cut in sheets
Layers deep now unravelling
Just keep your eyes on her.
Get me Neil on the line
No I can't hold
Have him read "snow glass apples"
Where nothing is what it seems
"Little sis you must crack this"
He says to me
"you must go in again carbon
Made only wants to be unmade"
Blade to ice it's
Double diamond time
And keep your eyes on her
On her eyes on her horizon

Love, hold my hand
Help me see with the dawn
That those that have left
Are not gone
But they carry on
As stars looking down
As nature's sons
And daughters of the heavens
You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the procession of the mighty stars
Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
Here I will carry, carry, carry you
Forever
You have touched my life
So that now
Cathedrals of sound are singing, are singing
The waves have come to walk with you
To where you will live in the land of you,
Land of you
You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the procession of the mighty stars
Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
Here I will carry, carry, carry you
Here I will carry, carry, carry you
Forever.

Daisy dead petals that is her name
She's in a phone booth phase so
Underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
She can turn it out with a heal on she just rides into town
Knowing what they'll say knowing they're around the corner
Got a crack in got a crack in some strange places
Daisy dead petals that is her name.
So maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid well
These dead petals honey brought me here
She said "these dead petals honey brought me here"
Dancing on a dime hearing mother cry
Maybe she's around the corner
Got a crack in got a crack in some strange places
On my back with on my back with some dirty dishes
Falling down, falling down, all over the river
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Wish what I'm feeling could go on like this forever
Falling down, falling down, falling down
And since we're down might as well stay
Might as well fry some eggs
And wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
She's a new friend not a skeleton to ride into town
Knowing what they'll say knowing she tastes like a hamburger maid, but
"These dead petals honey brought me here"
She said, "these dead petals honey brought me here"

It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lilly Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake
She sends her regards
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping and his woman is free
Yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

The second amendment gives the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
This is a dispute which is going on in America now.
We should work diligently to keep this second amendment in place,
For any individual with responsibility-
Let me repeat again, responsibility and boundaries of those who are
priviledged,
To be a part of all of these twenty-seven amendments,
Of the Constitution of the United States of America,
Plus the Declaration of Independence.

I believe that uh, people who are gonna commit crimes shouldn't have guns.

I guess my reaction is the same as every other father's, every other
grandfather's.
My heart goes out to the people- to the victims.
Because I don't understand how kids can be out there, they're out making

And, and uh, and uh, families being totally unaware of it-
With this culture going on. And I'm as troubled by it as anybody else,
And I don't know any answers.

In my head I found you there
And running around and following me
But you don't dare
But I find that I have, now, more
Than I ever wanted to
So maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to when she has left
You there you are, here in my head and
Running around and calling me "come back
I'll show you the roses that brush off the snow and
Open their petals again and again" and you know that
Apple green ice cream can melt in your hands I can't so I
Held your hand at the fair and
Even forgot what time it was
And even Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe I'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you and me here alone on the floor
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and belt and the girl from the south all
Favorites of mine you know then all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles that makes it all clear makes it all
Do you know what this is doing to me
Here in my head.

Look I'm standing naked before you
Don't you want more than my sex
I can scream as loud as your last one
But I can't claim innocence
Oh God could it be the weather
Oh God why am I here
If love isn't forever
And its not the weather
Hand me my leather
I could just pretend that you love me
The night would lose all sense of fear
But why do I need you to love me
When you can't hold what I hold dear
Oh God could it be the weather
Oh God why am I here
If love isn't forever
And its not the weather
Hand me my leather
I almost ran over an angel
He had a nice big fat cigar
"In a sense" he said "you're alone here
So if you jump you best jump far"
Oh God could it be the weather
Oh God why am I here
If love isn't forever
And its not the weather
Oh God could it be the weather
Oh God its all very clear
If love isn't forever
And its not the weather
Hand me my leather

You'll know quite soon what my mistake was
For those on horseback or dog sled
You turn on at the bend in the road
I hear she still grants forgiveness
Although I willingly forgot her
The offering is molasses and you say
I guess I'm an underwater thing
So I guess I can't take it personally
I guess I'm an underwater thing
I'm liquid running
There's a sea secret in me
It's plain to see it is rising
But I must be flowing liquid diamonds
Calling for my soul at the corners of the world
I know she's playing poker with the rest of the stragglers
Calling for my soul at the corners of the world
I know she's playing poker with the rest the rest
And if your friends don't come back to you
And you know this is madness
A lilac mess in your prom dress
And you say
I guess I'm an underwater thing
I go I go inside her shell
I see it so and you're doing oh so well these days
You do it again and I say it's coming back again

Keep it back daddy's done preaching in to himself
Keep it just between us

And on that fateful day

Used to be so sweet to me

Teach me how to love
My brothers who don't know the law
And what about the deal
On the flying trapeze
Got a peanut butter hand
But honey do drop in
At the Dew Drop Inn
Sweet sweet
Between the boys and the bees
Moses I know
I know you've seen the fire
But you've never seen fire
Until you've seen Pele blow
And I've never seen light
But I sure have seen gold
And Gladys save a place for me on your grapevine
Till I get my own TV show

And if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the tidal wave
I got a place in the Pope's rubber robe

Givin' up is something I can't do
Ooh you got sharp claws
Always got your back up

Holdin' all the cards, and a joker too

When you pay the price for freedom
It ain't wrong girl

Dancin' on hot coals
Playin' with a live wire
Sneakin' out the back door, you're so cool
If you really want to move on

Here's a ticket for the bus stop

You should have told me sooner

Oh it seems so long ago
The cuts run deep
But the scars still show
I live in the shadows
Where it's been so hard to grow
I'm still a servant in a nobleman's robes
You know my weakness girl you know my kind
You helped me see when I was blind
It's a crime to live my life without you
Serve out my years in darkness
Inside these walls I die without you
And when I close my eyes
I'm caught in the balance
Afraid of the hurricane
I hide in my domain
I need release from all this pain
Please don't forsake me
In these ruins of your home
I can't wait forever
Don't leave me alone
I have a secret if you want to learn
I will surrender in return
It's a crime to live my life without you
Serve out my years in darkness
Inside these walls I die without you
And when I close my eyes
I'm caught in the balance
You know my weakness girl you know my kind
You helped me see when I was blind
It's a crime to live my life without you
Serve out my years in darkness
Inside these walls I die without you
And when I close my eyes
I'm caught in the balance

I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
Now you're gone, I'm really not the same,
I guess I held myself to blame
Time can't erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one who's sad
You know I won't hold you back now,
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
Now that I'm alone it gives me time
To think about the years that you were mine

If I asked you to stay with me forever
But forever's in too soon

We only have this life
To forgive and forget
But the only thing that matters
Is we have no regrets
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
There's nothing I wouldn't give to you
You know it's true
Oh can't you see
You're the last love for me
Time passes fast
And the hours go quickly
But the fire inside our hearts
It never dies
The sound of your voice
And the way that it moves me in a special way
Oh I can't describe
Please take my hand
And we'll walk the endless road
No one has to lead us
'Cause we know which way to go
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
There's nothing I wouldn't give to you
You know it's true
Oh can't you see
You're the last love for me
And if I ever really hurt you
How sorry I would be
There's something I've been trying to tell you
Darlin' it's time you know
You'll always be a part of me
<@#Toto_Somewhere_Tonight.txt#@>
When you meet a special person
And it feels good passing time
You tell yourself it's casual
But they have something else in mind
You try to make some reason
A voice calls out from across the room
She runs away without an answer
She runs away too soon
[Chorus:]
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
We all belong to someone
Sometimes they're so far away
You write down words in letters
Not quite sure what they say
You know that she needs you
And you miss her in your heart
But a certain feeling lingers
That keeps us miles apart
[Chorus]
(Oh Lord)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
(You'd better believe)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
<@#Toto_Straight_For_The_Heart.txt#@>
Boy meets girl on the playground of life
Falls in love for the very first time
Late at night he sees her alone, but she's the type that can never be owned
He can't get her off his mind, but she knows he'll get over her in time
And the world goes round and round
Chorus:
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known
Boy sees girl on the poor side of town
A city princess with her very own crown
He's too young to be taking such a chance
'Cause she walks the streets in the name of romance
Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round
Chorus
Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known (repeats 4x)
<@#Toto_Time_Is_The_Enemy.txt#@>
Those days we gave our all
Unaffected
I bravely faced the fall
No reflection
Freak armies of the night.
Misdirected
I fought the useless fight
Unprotected
Don't cry for me
Time is the enemy
Soon I'll be free
I surrender
Sweet moon, she marks the year
Unreflected
How sad she has no tears
So neglected.
Don't cry for me
Time is the enemy
Soon I'll be free.
I surrender
<@#Toto_While_My_Guitar_Gently_Weeps.txt#@>
I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps.

My faithful companion, I've lost my way once again
A prisoner of darkness, I let you down my friend
A heart left abandoned takes so long to heal its wounds
Your touch not forgotten, the end of the dream
It comes too soon, in this lonely room
Till I leave this world, always know that
[Chorus:]
I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here, it lives forever on the wings of time
The road that I travel, don't know which way I should turn
Till I find the answer, know that the fire within me will always burn
Angel of mercy, please, why so much pain?
I cry for forgiveness, I'm the destitute man
Who still remains, it's so hard to explain
Till I leave this world, always know that
Sometimes I feel just like crying
I can't turn my back, all these years I've been trying
A vision of you keeps reappearing to me
You can't blame yourself, just reach out your hand and believe
We sail in dark waters, Lord give me some peace of mind
Temptation before me, ahead lies the tower of truth that I must find
To you I will climb
Till I leave this cruel world far behind, always know that
<@#Townes_Van_Zandt_At_My_Window.txt#@>
At my window
Watching the sun go
Hoping the stars know
It's time to shine
Daydreams
Aloft on dark wings
Soft as the sun streams
At days decline
Living is laughing
Dying says nothing at all
Baby and I are laying here
Watching the evening fall
Time flows
Through brave beginnings
And she leaves her endings
Beneath our feet
Walk lightly
Upon their faces
Leave gentle traces
Upon their sleep
Living is dancing
Dying does nothing at all
Baby and I are laying here
Watching the evening fall
Three dimes
Hard luck and good times
Fast lines and low rhymes
Ain't much to say
Feel fine
Feel low and lazy
Feel grey and hazy
Feel far away
Living is sighing
Dying ain't flying so high
Baby and I are lying here
Watching the day go by
<@#Townes_Van_Zandt_Blue_Wind_Blew.txt#@>
Blue wind's blown my dreams away
My darling's flown and she's gone to stay
All I got now is yesterday
And I don't know what to do
I guess I'll go downtown and see
Just what downtown can do for me
Maybe set my lonesome free
Or maybe let me go
I loved her true and I told her so
I ask her too and she told me no
She said she had somewhere to go
And then she said good-bye
I wonder how long it can go on
How long I'll sing this same old song
I wonder which one done us wrong
Which one forgot to try
I loved her true and I told her so
I ask her too and she told me no
She said she had somewhere to go
And then she said good-bye
<@#Townes_Van_Zandt_Catfish_Song.txt#@>
Down at the bottom of that dirty ol' river
Down where the reeds and the catfish play
There lies a dream as soft as the water
There lies a bluebird that's flown away
Well, to meet is like springtime
And to love's like the summer
Her brown eyes shone for nobody but me
Then autumn forever, the fool come a fallin'
And the rain turned to freezin' inside of me.
I'll kindle my fires with the words
I can't send you
And the roads I can't follow
And the songs I can't sing
Well, all you young ladies
Who dream of tomorrow
While you're a listenin'
These words will I say
Cling to today with its joy
And its sorrow
You'll need all your memories
When youth melts away.
Well, the angel of springtime
He rides down the southwind
The angel of summer
He does just the same
The angel of autumn
She's blue and she's golden
And the angel of winter
Won't remember your name
Down at the bottom of that dirty ol' river
Down where the reeds and the catfish play
There lies a dream as soft as the water
There lies a bluebird that's flown away
There lies a bluebird
That's flown away

Come away with me,
My little delta boy
I want to be your delta mama for awhile
And if you stay you'll see
that I bring you lots of joy
I turn those little teardrops to a smile
Well, if you're blue don't cry
Just wander right downtown
You can find your delta mama waitin' there
Well, I thought you knew that I
Would never let you down
I can ease your mind and take away your cares
Come away with me,
My little delta boy
I want to be your delta mama for awhile
And if you stay you'll see
That I bring you lots of joy
I turn those little teardrops to a smile
Well, if the grass goes brown
Don't you hang your head too low
Well, there ain't no need for you to sit and pine
If you'll just ask around
I'm sure someone will know
Just exactly what it takes to get you back to feelin' fine
Well, if you don't know by now
What I've been tryin' so hard to say
Well my delta boy I'm afraid you're up to tight
But you take it slow and somehow
You come meandering out my way
And I'll take you in my arms and make it right
Ah, come away with me,
My little delta boy
I want to be your delta mama for awhile
And if you stay you'll see
That I bring you lots of joy
I turn those little teardrops to a smile
<@#Townes_Van_Zandt_Goin_Down_To_Memphis.txt#@>
Goin' down to Memphis
Maybe get my ashes hauled
I can drive me a car
But I don't need no car at all
I believe I'll ride that Memphis cannon ball
She runs so fast
You can't catch her from behind
Ah, she runs so fast
You can't catch her from behind
But I'll be there waitin'
For that little Memphis girl of mine
Why I left
Guess I'll never know
Why I left
Man, I guess I'll never know
Sittin' here thinkin'
I'm one dumb-ass so and so
I'm headed back
That Memphis train
She leaves real soon
The Memphis train
Sound like she leaves real soon
Got nothin' to guide me
'Cept the color of the moon
Hangin' over Memphis
Headed down
Where the Mississippi runs
Boys I'm headed home
Back where the Mississippi runs
I hear there's some lovin' there
Try to get me some
Headed down to Memphis
Maybe get my ashes hauled
Just don't know
Why I ever left at all
I'm gettin' on that train, man,
I ain't even gonna call
Be there 'fore the break of day
<@#Townes_Van_Zandt_Loretta.txt#@>
Oh Loretta she's a barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tell me lies I love to believe
Her age is always 22
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like water falls
Loves me like I want her to
Oh, Loretta, won't you say to me
Darling, put your guitar on
Have a little shot of booze
Play a blue a and wailing song
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings, Loretta's fine
Long and lazy, blonde and free
And I can have her any time
Sweetest at the break of day
Prettiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
'Least not 'til she's all alone
Loretta, I won't be gone long
Keep your dancing slippers on
Keep me on your mind a while
I'll be back, babe, to make you smile
<@#Townes_Van_Zandt_Rexs_Blues.txt#@>
Ride the blue wind high and free
She'll lead you down through misery
Leave you low, come time to go
Alone and low as low can be
If I had a nickel I'd find a game
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry
And lay me down dissatisfied
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry
A restless tongue to classify
All born to grow and grown to die
So tell my baby I said so long
Tell my mother I did no wrong
Tell my brother to watch his own
And tell my friends to mourn me none
I'm chained upon the face of time
Feelin' full of foolish rhyme
There ain't no dark till something shines
I'm bound to leave this dark behind
Ride the blue wind high and free
She'll lead you down through misery
Leave you low, come time to go
Alone and low as low can be
<@#Townes_Van_Zandt_Snake_Song.txt#@>
You can't hold me
I'm too slippery
I do no sleepin'
I get lonely
You can touch me
If you want to
I got poison
I just might bite you
Lie in circles
On the sunlight
Shine like diamonds
On a dark night
Ain't no mercy
In my smilin'
Only fangs and
Sweet beguiling
Future, he don't
Try to find me
Skin I been through
Dies behind me
Solid hollow
Wrapped in hatred
Not a drop of
Venom wasted
You can slip in
Try to find me
Hold your breath and
Flat deny me
It makes no difference
To my thinkin'
I'll be here when
You start sinkin'.
<@#Townes_Van_Zandt_St_John_The_Gambler.txt#@>
When she had twenty years she turned to her mother
Saying Mother, I know that you'll grieve
But I've given my soul to St John the gambler
Tomorrow comes time leave
For the hills cannot hold back my sorrow forever
And dead men lay deep 'round the door
The only salvation that's mine for the asking
So mother, think on me no more
Winter held high round the mountains breast
And the cold of a thousand snows
Lay heaped upon the forests leaf
But she dressed in calico
For a gambler likes his women fancy
Fancy she would be
And the fire of her longing would keep way the cold
And her dress was a sight to see
But the road was long beneath the feet
She followed her frozen breath
In search of a certain St John the gambler
Stumbling to her death
She heard his laughter right down from the mountains
And danced with her mothers tears
To a funeral drawn a calico
'neath the cross of twenty years
To a funeral drawn a calico
'neath the cross of twenty years
<@#Tracy_Chapman_Be_And_Be_Not_Afraid.txt#@>
I believe in mistakes and accidents
That the nature of life is chaos and confusion
That man's rules of law and order
May not stand
And I should be and be not afraid
To reach for heaven
I may think that I know
The true heart's needs
But my pride may bring me low
Unable to see
I'm no closer than yesterday
But tomorrow I may stand
And be and be not afraid
To reach for heaven
I'll see the black car cavalcade
Lights on in the morn
I'll run fast and far away
I'll run without stopping
Til hear and feet fail
Or until I can stand
And be and be not afraid
Be and be not afraid
Be and be not afraid
To reach for heaven
<@#Tracy_Chapman_For_My_Lover.txt#@>
Two weeks in a Virginia jail
For my lover for my lover
Twenty thousand dollar bail
For my lover for my lover
And everybody thinks
That I'm the fool
But they don't get
Any love from you
The things we won't do for love
I'd climb a mountain if I had to
And risk my life so I could have you
You, you, you...
Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed
For my lover for my lover
They dope me up and I tell them lies
For my lover for my lover
I follow my heart
And leave my head to ponder
Deep in this love
No man can shake
I follow my heart
And leave my mind to wonder
Is this love worth
The sacrifices I make
<@#Tracy_Chapman_Loves_Proof.txt#@>
I want you
Try to forget her
In your heart
You know that she'll never
Love you love you love you
I want you
Try to forget her
She won't call
Or write you a letter
Of love love love's proof
I want you
Try to forget her
Give her time
And you'll wait forever
For love love love's proof
It's not in the stars
It's all in the proof
The chances the odds
The one you love will love
And fall for you
And fall for you
I want you
Try to forget her
You think she's good
I'll be better
And love you love you love you
<@#Tracy_Chapman_Material_World.txt#@>
You in your fancy
Material world
Don't see the links of chain
Binding blood
Our own ancestors
Are hungry ghosts
Closets so full of bones
They won't close
Call it upward mobility
But you've been sold down the river
Just another form of slavery
And the whole man-made white world
Is your master
You in your fancy
Material world
Create in your own image
A supreme god
Your virgin Mary
Your holy ghosts
Claimed to be pure of heart
Have hands that are stained with blood
You in your fancy
Material world
Don't see the links of chain
Binding
<@#Tracy_Chapman_Our_Bright_Future.txt#@>
To my father what of your sons?
All of your children
Even the ones
Sent out to martyr
To face the gun
Precious bodies opposed to bombs
Led on, led on
To take the path
Where our bright future
Is in our past
To our father what of reason?
Say what you will
Believe what you want
The record shows what we are not
Our true desires
Not our good thoughts
Led on, led on
To take the path
Where our bright future
Is in our past
To my father what have you done?
To the children
Born innocent
But come to harm
For dreams of glory
And just a line in history
Led on, led on
To take the path
Where our bright future
Is in our past
To our father what good may come?
To let the children
Walk alone
To fear to fail
And need no savior
To be at peace in our true nature
Lead on, lead on
Clear the path
So our bright future
May come to pass
May come to pass
May come to pass

One, two, one, two, three, four
Sweet and high at the break of dawn
Simple tune that you can hum along too
I remember there was a time
When I used to sing for you
[Chorus]
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
I used to sing for you
[Chorus]
Knew all the words to the popular songs
With the radio on full volume
I remember there was a time
When I used to sing for you
[Chorus]
I used to sing for you
[Chorus]
Forget the chorus, you?re the bridge
The words and music to everyday I?ve lived
There?s nothing, I wouldn?t give
For one more time, when I can sing for you
[Chorus]
Oh Yeah
[Chorus]
Soft and low when the evening comes
Holding you, sleeping in my arms
I remember there was a time
When I used to sing for you
[Chorus]
I used to sing for you

I used to sing for you

Should I try to take you in?
Another fool brought to the fold
With not a gaze or arms
but deathlike grip to hold
To hold [Repeat: x3]
Should I try to take you in?
And hope for the perfect docile pet
Hope that you'll not defile or wreck my home
Sweet home [Repeat: x3]
[Chorus]
Here there's only faith no doubt
You can be taken anywhere
Here is where you choose the place
With pleasure and pain in equal share
A refuge for truth and deceit
Where all who come are taken in
Should I try to take you in?
Pretending what you have not felt
In passion sorrow sleep or death eyes closed
Eyes closed [Repeat: x3]
Here there's only faith no doubt
You can be taken anywhere
Here is where you choose the place
With pleasure and pain in equal share
A refuge for truth and deceit
Where all who come are taken in
Should I try to take you in
Who'll pity me if I forget?
It's said to be and not to be in love
Is to regret
Regret [Repeat: x3]
[Chorus]
Should I try to take you in
Who'll pity me in my regret?
For those who've never been in love
Need not forget
Forget
Forget
<@#Tracy_Chapman_The_Love_That_You_Had.txt#@>
The love that you had
In your heart is gone
Any touch of sincerity
Any trace of compassion
What hardened your heart?
What turned it to stone?
What made you forget?
You were in love with someone
Your hands don't reach out
Your voice doesn't call me
I know you've stopped listening
Your eyes look straight through me
If nights are like this
I'd rather be alone
Who said you could forget
You were in love with someone?
Tell me what hardened your heart
Tell me what turned it to stone
Tell me what made you forget
You were in love with someone
Was I wrong to forgive
Your indiscretions?
Should I have been more hysterical
Less understanding?
If you're looking for a villain
Go on assume the role
But don't say that it's my fault
That you're not in love with someone
Tell me what hardened your heart
Tell me what turned it to stone
Tell me what made you forget
You were in love with someone
Tell me there's someone in your life
I'll fight to keep your for my own
Tell me because I really want to know
Why you can't be in love with someone

I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
outstretched towards me
For you I don the veil
By your light
Others pale by comparison
I place my faith in love
My fate in this communion
I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me
To you I give my pledge
I honor all that's good
In this life we're living
To think not only of myself
But of the greater union
Can I get a witness
There is salvation and rapture for the lonely
Can I get a witness
Bless this day sacred and holy
Sacred and Holy
I've been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me
With you I am revealed
All my shame all my faults and virtues
Behold body mind and spirit
Heart and soul devoted all to you
Can I get a witness
There is salvation and rapture for the lonely
Can I get a witness
Bless this day sacred and holy
Sacred and Holy

But I think you're cute and misunderstood

Amount to nothing

Some low class kind of royalty
That's what they say about you

Some say you're bad
A bad bad seed
You love to play with fire you love gambling
But I know what you love and I know what you need
And I like it when you play with me
Let' em talk you down
Call you names
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
I'm sure in my heart
Happy and free

You do the combat math, I'm the war artist
You can't take your shots back, I have to watch them miss
The basketball rim shook like a tambourine
Not an unlikely event in a game that means nothing
In a game that means nothing
Makeshift we are, lead never leaves your system no matter who you are
Makeshift we are, as makeshift as we are
You're a complex dune, I'm a cloud of octopus ink
You're an elusive tune, I'm more ice sculpture than I think
You're the neutral tribe and I got the wrong openness
Here's where I slowly close my eyes and say, "I'm too drunk for this"
Yeah, I'm too drunk for this
Makeshift we are, 'Weaklings Make Trouble' you played on your guitar
Makeshift we are, as makeshift as we are, we are, we are, we are
The loneliest boys on dolphin property
You're as quiet as a fish, I only sing for the whole sea
From memory metal tension springs, we were gunsmoke and the truth
Let's shake some snow off of his shoulders
Let's shake some snow off of the roof, let's shake some snow off of the roof
Makeshift we are, occurring to each other under the setups of the stars
Makeshift we are, we imagine us here and here we are
Makeshift we are, through half-squinted eyes becoming a mirage
Makeshift we are, we are, we are

Me debunk an American myth?
And take my life in my hands?
Where the great plains begin,
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian,
Where the great plains begin
Driving down a corduroy road,
Weeds standing shoulder high
Ferris wheel is rusting off in the distance
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
Where the great plains begin
Left alone to get gigantic
Hard, huge and haunted
A generation so much dumber than it's parents came
Crashing through the window
A raven strains along the line of the road,
Carrying a muddy, old skull
The wires whistle their approval,
Off down the distance
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
Where the great plains begin
(At the hundredth meridian) At the hundredth meridian
(At the hundredth meridian) At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
Where the great plains begin
I remember, I remember Buffalo
And I remember Angelo
It would seem to me I remember every
Single fucking thing I know
If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me,
They bury me some place I don't want to be,
You'll dig me up and transport me, unceremoniously,
Away from the swollen city-breeze, garbage bag trees,
Whispers of disease and the acts of enormity
And lower me slowly, sadly and properly
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy,
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
Where the great plains begin
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
At the hundredth meridian
Where the great plains begin

I left your house this morning,
'Bout a quarter after nine.
Coulda been the Willie Nelson,
Coulda been the wine
When I left your house this morning,
It was a little after nine
It was in Bobcaygeon, I saw the constellations
Reveal themselves, one star at time
Drove back to town this morning,
With working on my mind
I thought of maybe quittin',
Thought of leavin' it behind
Went back to bed this morning
And as I'm pullin' down the blind,
Yeah, the sky was dull and hypothetical
And fallin' one cloud at a time
That night in Toronto,
With its checkerboard floors
Riding on horseback,
And keeping order restored,
Til The Men They Couldn't Hang,
Stepped to the mic and sang,
And their voices rang with that Aryan twang
I got to your house this morning,
Just a little after nine
In the middle of that riot,
Couldn't get you off my mind
So, I'm at your house this morning,
Just a little after nine
'Cause, it was in Bobcaygeon
Where I saw the constellations reveal themselves
One star at time

I had heart, but I used to be older
I'm not like I used to be had you,
But I guess it's all over you talk,
But you're not like me
You talk and you talk like some weird saint
What do you think that we could taint?
When you're nothing I am and I'm something you ain't
Hold me, until the night makes colder
Tell me, how life's made you bad kick
When I choke and I smolder
When I'm not what you had
I'm looking for a cemetery side road
I'm screaming like a lighthouse lamp
I'm chasing after what I think that I'm owed
Like a french foreign legion tramp
You swim in an ocean that's storming
You eat when the wolves all do
You ache like a mother in mourning
When you're left along with you

Take down the chairs and make things neat
Hey there Coffee Girl
Beautiful and disaffected
It was all perfect till
He came along and wrecked it
Your favorite mixed tape
You popped it into the deck
Don't care if it's out of date
Ol' cat power and classic Beck
Beware purveyors of cool
With their compacts of one
Talking cannons to fool
When all you need's a BB gun
Hey there Coffee Girl
Beautiful and disaffected
It was all perfect till
He came along and wrecked it
One night he'll make you choose
I'm sorry but he will
The hardscape or your shoes
When the moon's behind the hill

Sled dogs after dinner
Close their eyes on
The howlin' wastes
Kurt Cobain, reincarnated,
Sighs and licks his face
Then they drift past strips
Of Serengeti and the gates
Of Sleepy Hollow too
You can pause in wonder,
They paused in wonder and
Yea, I paused in wonder too
Just don't wake daddy
They can lay their heads
On their futon-beds,
So many miles from home
You can teach your children
Some fashion sense and they
Fashion some of their own
For when the policy-weary
Commune on the untamed land
Through white sheers
Whispers in their ears,
You're damned
And don't wake daddy
You can stuff yer void
With the asteroid
That's hurtlin' toward the earth
You can drop the bomb
That restores some calm
Then promises rebirth
Just don't wake daddy
It's the perfect time now
For an eclectic choice
They're all asleep but us now
It's time to hear your voice
Sing to end all songs
To end all songs

Bill Barilko disappeared that summer,
He was on a fishing trip.
The last goal he ever scored
Won the Leafs the cup
They didn't win another until 1962,
The year he was discovered.
I stole this from a hockey card,
I keep tucked up under
My fifty mission cap, I worked it in

They found armor in my belly
From the sixteenth century
Conquistador, I think

Passion out of machine revving tension
Lashing out at machine revving tension
Rushing by the machine revving tension
Morning broke out the backside of a truck-stop
The end of a line a real, rainbow-likening, luck stop
Where you could say I became chronologically fucked up
Put ten bucks in just to get the tank topped up
Then I found a place it's dark and it's rotted
It's a cool, sweet kinda place
Where the coppers won't spot it
And I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it,
However, everyday I'm dumping the body

It's a grave mistake and I'm wide awake.

He pokes it out, he pulls it in

Couldn't fight the current they couldn't save, They couldn't save the sheds

Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue-green
I can't forsake a Dixie dead-shake
So we danced the sidewalk clean
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking man, and I don't wanna swim
Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on?
Can't tie yourself up for a deal
He said "hey north you're south shut your big mouth,
You gotta do what you feel is real"
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
My baby, she don't know me when I'm thinking 'bout those years
Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me
I have my hands in the river
My feet back up on the banks
Looked up to the Lord above
And said, hey man thanks
Sometimes I feel so good I gotta scream
She said Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean

I make you scared, if that's what I do if you're prepared, if I have to if I

Now here's what I can do for you
Now there's a focus group that can prove this is all nothing but cold
calculation
Tests have shown that suspicious or hostile their lives need not be shortened
truth be told they can live a long, long while tickled
To death by their importance
If you make me scared, if that's what you do if I'm unclear can I get out of
this thing with me and you if you feel scared, a bit
Confused, I gotta say this sounds a little beyond anything I'm used to
Now there's a precious few that can prove that at the root this is all nothing

Clearly entranced, you're leaning back now defanged destroyer limps into the

Your heart must be a caramelized onion
By the time I saw your flame
It was all over for you and whashisname.
I think it was Algonquin Park
It was so cold and winter-dark
A promised hibernation high
Took me across the great black plate of ice.
Now I'm the islander.
I found a place to call my den
And dreamt of the ferry and
The enormous man
Huge as were his children
Following around after him
I'm the islander
Woke up in the furtive spring
More capable of anything
I waited for more men to come
Hey docked their boats and cocked their guns
The time for truth and reconciliation's gone
But with my belly full I intended to get something done
I'm the islander
Woke up in the dead of spring
More hungry than anything

Come in, come in, come in, come in
From under these darling skies come in
It's warm and it's safe here and almost harkening
Off to a time and place now lost on our imagination
Where you don't complain, but you still do
And you don't explain if you want to explain
What you believe you say without shame, 'I just do'
To say what you mean you don't mean what you say
Or you do
Where the wild are strong (Wild are strong)
And the strong are the darkest ones (The strong are the darkest ones)
And you're the darkest one
Come in, come in, come in, come in
From thin and wicked prairie winds, come in
It's warm and it's safe here and almost heartening
Here in a time and place not lost on our imagination
Where you don't explain, but you still do
And you can complain if you want to complain
Where you're real instrumental or supple
Or sexy as hell
Where you say 'I believe' or say without shame
'I can't tell'
Where the wild are strong (Wild are strong)
And the strong are the darkest ones (The strong are the darkest ones)
And you're the darkest one

Growin' up in a biosphere
With no respect for bad weather
There's still roaches and ants in here
So resourceful and clever
Her great grandfather saw the future
Didn't know nothing 'bout panic
He certainly probably thought
That it was unthinkable
There's a trace oh mint wafting in from the north
So we don't fuck with the 401
It's bigger than us or larger than we bargained
I guess it's just not done
His great grandfather worked for Goodyear
He'd see the blimp on Sundays
Wonder what the driver knew
About making rubber tires
Terrarium
Oh, Terrarium
There's submarines out there under the ice
Avoiding and courting collision
An accident's sometimes the only way
To worm our way back to bad decisions
My great grandfather was a welder
He helped to build the Titanic
He didn't certainly think
That it is was unsinkable
Building up to the larger point
With an arrogance not rare or pretty
We don't declare the war on idleness
When outside it's cold and shitty
We stay inside and try to conjure
The fathers of the injured and faking
If there's glory in miracles
It's that they're reversible

And by a list of phone calls, you'll like to make
Where you could sit on the edge of your bed
And you could stare into your own shoes
And in the pools of light there, go wherever you choose
Just rig up a complication, and if it derails
You can throw away the rudder and float away like vapour trails
there's nothin' funnier than pride in an utterly confident stride
So I pulled the car on over to give you a ride
Damn this sleepy weather he said, as he marched in soppin? wet shoes
Through rain pools evaporatin?, says in this sign I?ll conquer you
I pulled the car on over, to give you a ride
But there's nothin? uglier than a man hittin? his stride
Past Mexicans all dressed in beige shirts, leanin? over their hoes
Now the mornin?s over, it?s time to let them sprinklers hose
Past hills of chambermaids? dark bare arms
And fields of muscles quilted to the bone
Right now I'm flyin? over, ya right now I'm flyin? home
Where I can sit on the end of my bed
And I can stare into my own shoes
And in the pools of light years, go wherever I choose
And throw away the rudder, float away on vapour trails

So I throw away the rudder, float away like vapour trails

How about her? No but I hear

Funny back then she said that about you

Remember Johnny B remember him we were best friends, back to be
Let's do this soon again, ten years is that what it's been?
Can't believe how time flies by

And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go
'Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't dance before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away
Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
To see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by
And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
There you are to show me

Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as fire wood and let 'em burn
Like stones in your pocket people try to wear you down
Someone always wants to take the love you've found
So let's roll with these changes and I want you by my side
And there's not a word I've ever heard that could make me change my mind
Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as fire wood and let 'em burn
Let them burn
Let them burn
Underneath every word somebody's heart been broken
With or without words, we try to forget
Words they'll try to shake us
Don't let them break us
Or stop our world from turning
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as fire wood and let 'em burn
Words they'll try to shake you
Don't let them break you
Or stop your world, stop your world from turning 'round
When words keep you from feeling good
Use them as fire wood and let 'em burn

You're going home, you're tired of incident
Kicked in the head by a nasty accident
One with only half opposable thumbs

And ever since I woke up I felt the net
Was lifting me out of the sea
And even when I'm sinking I feel the need
But it's OK to lead me on
I admit it's not much fun
To be led on by such a one
As you are
As you are
As you are
And ever since a long time
I felt the rain
And there was no danger
And no more strangers
As you are

Saturday evening
Saturday evening at a quarter to five
I would see him arrive at the door
Pushed you aside as he staggered inside
Spilling alcohol over the floor
A storm is abrewin' and it's sure to fall soon
As I look at you from the shore
So
You better hold on
'Cause it's Saturday night
And your friends are all out
And you feel like shit
'Cause they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever
Call me a name and I'll hit you again
You're a slut, you're a bitch, you're a whore
Talked to your daddy in that tone of voice
There's a belt hanging over the door
So you run to your room
And you hide in your room
Thinking how you could settle the score
But
Saturday night at a quarter to six
And your friends are all out
And you're live in the sticks
Still they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever call
Blue flashing light last Saturday night
Brought the neighbours all out on the street
They watched as the firemen carried you out
And they stared at each other's feet
Now everyone sees and yet nobody says
How we're all just afraid of the heat
But
It's Saturday night
And I'm lying alone in the bed that I made
Disconnected the phone
Still they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever call
Never bloody ever
Never
Never do
Never do
<@#Travis_Get_Up.txt#@>
Wish someone would
Write me a song
Or tell me a story
So I don't need to worry
I need a little love
And a hand to hold
Somebody old
To watch over me
I need a little time
So I don't have to hurry
Oh, you say it all
You gotta get up [Repeat: x3]
But
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up
To the situation
I wish someone
Would answer
The phone
Stop leaving me
Hanging on
I'm feeling
Like a little ship
Out on the ocean
I need a little love
And a hand to hold
Somewhere
To hold the frustration
I need a little cause
For celebration
Oh, you say it all
You gotta get up [Repeat: x3]
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up
To the situation
Growing up
Checking notes
So you know
Just
Just which way to go
You gotta get up [Repeat: x4]
You've just gotta
You've just gotta
You've gotta
You've just gotta
You've gotta gotta
Oh, you say it all
You gotta get up [Repeat: x3]
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up

Where is your mother,
Where is your father,
Two little children,
Locked in the cupboard,
Into the wide world,
High on the high wire
What would you give to fly away,
Away, away, away, away,
Girl with the flower,
Boy with the hammer,
Lost in a forest,
On another planet,
Find me the exit,
Find them the way home
Find all the love they took away,
Away, away, away, away,
'Cause your head is a brick wall,
And your heart is a football,
And your eyes broken windows,
When you cry,
It's a good day to die
And your head is a brick wall,
And your heart is a football,
And your eyes broken windows,
When you cry it's a good day
'Cause your head is a brick wall,
And your heart is a football,
And your eyes,
It's a good day to die,
To die,
To die,
To die

Rain on the brain
Now there's flowers in your window
She, well she's so strange
I don't know anything about her
But if it's all the same to you
Here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna write a song
Gonna sing it to everyone
And then I'll sing it to you
'cos it was you that wrote it too
This could be the last train
Search within yourself for feelings
Everybody's got them
You left me on the shelf
And now there's no-one to rely on
But if it's all the same to you
Here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna buy a gun
Gonna shoot eberything, everyone
And then I'm coming for you
'cos it was you that drove me to
This could be the last train
Woo-woo
Woo-woo
Woo-woo
Woo-woo
Rear window
Wit the room in her hair
And on her jacket
There's a picture of che guevara
As he sits beneath the tree
But that's not important
But he look a bit like me
If you took all the little feelings in your heart
And took all those little feelings apart
Oh well now
What's the point in doing all of that?
<@#Travis_Luv.txt#@>
What's so wrong?
Why the face so long
Is it over?
And where you going that
You no longer belong here?
And distance tells you that
Distance must come between love
Where have you been luv?
When the mistake we made
Was in never having planned to fall in love, luv
Singing this song
Singing along
Makes it easier for me to see you go
But in doing so
I'm letting you go
It only serves to show me
That I'm still in love with you
Singing this song
Singing along
Makes it easier for me to see you go
But in doing so
In letting you go
It only serves to show me
That I'm still in love with you
So what's so wrong?
Why the face?
So long
Are you changing?
And where you been to that
You no longer remember?
And distance tells you that
Distance must come between love
Where have you been luv?
It's just the chance we took
Having never planned to fall in love, luv
Having never planned to fall in love, luv
Having never planned to fall in love, luv
Luv
<@#Travis_Quicksand.txt#@>
Take me away take me away
You said that you were gonna stay
But you're always lying anyway
You're gonna suffer if you don't start breathing
Now
Now that I need you
You're going away
Everyday sinking in the quicksand
Follow me down the drain
But it doesn't matter anyway
You're gonna get yours any day
And why you put the blame on me
If you could only see yourself as others see you
Now that I need you
You're going insane
Everyday sinking in the quick sand
Follow me down the drain
Everyday drinking in the same bar
Drowning my sorrows away
Take me away take me away
Or I'm never gonna get away
But it makes no difference to me
It's just the sound of on more rock star bleeding
Now
Now that I need you
You're out of the frame
Day by day sinking in the quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Everyday drinking in the same bar
Make mine the same again
<@#Travis_Side.txt#@>
Well I believe there's something watching over you
They're watching every single thing you say
And when you die they'll set you down and take you through
You'll realize one day
That the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbor's got a new car that you want to drive
And when time is running out you want to stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong
There is no right
The circle only has one side
We all try hard to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both a major and minor key
Just open up the chord
But the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbour's got a new car that you want to drive
And when time is running out you want to stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live
We all will die
There is no wrong
There is no right
The circle only has one side
<@#Travis_The_Connection.txt#@>
I stayed in town for a while
Watching cars pass me by
And I'm trying not to get too high
But then I realized
Is there only one direction
Is there only right from wrong
Got to make the right connection
On my own
I never said you would cry
But I lied, now I lied
Now he's crying just to get by
Just to find, find out why
There is only one direction
There is only right from wrong
Got to make the right connection
On their own
I stuck around for a while
Watch the grass getting high
And I try not to think for a while
But then I had to smile
'Cause there's only one direction
Is there only one way home
Got to make the right connection
On their own
<@#Twenty_One_Pilots_Fake_You_Out.txt#@>
I want to drive away
In the night, headlights call my name
I, I'll never be, be what you see inside
You say I'm not alone, but I am petrified
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far
And I'll fall
And I'll break
And I'll fake
All I wanna
And I'll fall down
And I'll break down
And I'll fake you out
All I wanna
I'm so afraid
Of what you have to say
Cause I am quiet now
And silence gives you space
I'll never be, be what you see inside
You say I'm not alone, but I am petrified
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far
And I'll fall
And I'll break
And I'll fake
All I wanna
And I'll fall down
And I'll break down
And I'll fake you out
All I wanna
It's the same game today as it always is
I don't give these places fake my name explaining this
And the wrists of my mind have the bleeding lines
That remind me of all the times
I have committed
Dirty dirty crimes that are perfectly form-fitted
To what I've done and what I'm doing
I'm brewing and losing and spewing infusing
And believe me that's what all the kids are doing
What kids are doing are killing themselves
They feel they have no control of their prisoner's cell
And if you're one of them then you're one of me
And you would do almost anything just to feel free
Am I right? Of course I am
Convince me otherwise would take all night
Before you walk away, there's one more thing I want to say
Our brains are sick but that's okay
And I'll fall
And I'll break
And I'll fake
All I wanna
All I wanna
Yeah, and I'll fall down
And I'll break down
And I'll fake you out
All I wanna
Yeah, and I'll fall down
And I'll break down
And I'll fake you out
All I wanna
I'm so afraid
Of what you have to say
'Cause I am quiet now
And silence gives you space

You say things with your mouth,
Cobwebs and flies come out.
I hear a second voice
Behind your tongue somehow.
Luckily, I can read your mind,
Cobwebs and flies unwind.
They will not take you down,
They will not cast you out.
Dear friend, here we are again, pretending how you think the world is ending,
sending signals and red flags in waves. It's hard to tell the difference
between blood and water these days. I pray that one day you'll see that the
only difference between life and dying is one is trying, that's all we're
gonna do, so try to love me and I'll try to save you.
[Chorus]
Won't you stay alive?
I'll take you on a ride.
I will make you believe
You are lovely.
[End Chorus](2x)
Your redemption won't go stale,
We are not just setting sail
On the seas of what we fear
Treason now is growing near to me.
I'm coming clean.
God, hit me straight on.
God, hit me straight on.
[Chorus](2x)
You say things with your mouth,
Cobwebs and flies come out.
I hear a second voice
Behind your tongue somehow.
Lovely, I can read your mind.
Don't be gone (5x)
You say things with your mouth,
Cobwebs and flies come out. (7x)

They say I won't make it to the top of the hill
Won't take the fruit of a tree
And everybody says I'm out for the kill
They're all laughing at me
They're all laughing at me
I'm a rebel, rebel - don't you just know it
I'm a rebel, rebel
And they're all laughing at me
They say I'm a danger to the public and all
I only wish they would see
I'm just a product of a screwed-up world, but they're all...
They're all laughing at me
But they're all laughing at me
I'm a rebel, rebel - don't you just know it
I'm a rebel, rebel - don't you just know it
I'm a rebel, rebel
But they're all laughing at me
Never ever wash my old blue jeans
And brush the smile off my face
But still I'm a member of the...

God have the Ten Commandments
Moses passed them all
A look at Jesus' blessings
The sun belonged to Ra
Nero played with fire
Caesar was a laugh
The beauty Cleopatra
Ramses had it all
Drunk a skull with Odin
And rode with Ghingis Khan
Saw Attila, the great one
The Alps with Hannibal
Merlin and King Asrthur
A feast with Robin Hood
Friends with Leonardo
Columbus and the plot
With empires arising
And holy nations fall
The magic mirror shows you
Kings and Queens and all
Just take a look in the magic mirror
Don't turn around at what you see
Just take a look in the magic mirror
You're gonna see what you may be
Luther nailed our destiny
Beethoven wrote the scores
Napoleon and his triumph
Rasputin and the Tsar
Imagine our history
Without those famous names
It makes the world remember
That life is not in vain

(Sing this with me, this is 40)
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He lift me up out of the pit
Out of the mire and clay
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long...how long...how long...
How long...to sing this song
He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and hear
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
(Sing it!)
How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long...how long...how long...

And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light in the distance
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
A high road
A high road out from here
The city walls are all come down
The dust, a smoke screen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill
As the valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own
Oh, oh, oh on borderland we run
And still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight
I'll be there tonight I believe
I'll be there somehow
I'll be there tonight
Tonight
The wind will crack in winter time
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream
Tonight we'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light's in the distance
Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
For tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy
When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened your face of melting in snow?
Now it looks like this
And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down
No, nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out
If you only knew who to hit
And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
'Cause I need it now
To take the cup
To fill it up
To drink it slow
I can't let you go
I must be an acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And don't let the bastards grind you down
Oh, it hurts baby
What are we going to do? Now it's all been said
No new ideas in the house and every book has been read
And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And you can find
Your own way out
And you can build
And I can will
And you can call
I can't wait until
You can stash
And you can seize
Responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
And I know that the tide is turning 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down

I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
And it left me no illusion
I saw you in the curve of the moon
In the shadow cast across my room
You heard me in my tune
When I just heard confusion
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am...I am
I like the sound of my own voice
I didn't give anyone else a choice
An intellectual tortoise
Racing with your bullet train
Some people get squashed crossing the tracks
Some people got high rises on their backs
I'm not broke but you can see the cracks
You can make me perfect again
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am...I am
I'm alive
I'm being born
I just arrived, I'm at the door
Of the place I started out from
And I want back inside
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am

She got my jokes
Sit why we win
Go by the sin
Get high, get quick
Get bopping on a stick

Shake by go
Get barking in sin
Get high with the folks
Get down in the swim
Don't you walk away
I want you baby
How does it feel
When you're meet her in your home
How does it feel
When you feel her, let it go

"Turn that guitar up there."
Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar
Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar
Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar
Ah, it ain't over child
Your racing car
Raised by the boldness
You know you are
Your lips like cherries
And they call to me
I wasn't in the bottle
Next to me
I'm down by the call
Maybe the sun
Where nobody feels
They gotta give it and go
She's gonna take her chances
Gonna take her chances
And you don't
Jump you're gonna be the tele'
Is there anybody calling
Is anybody home
Anybody home
'body home
Anybody home
"Just drums."
She likes it
Little bit of sky
Locked in the ocean
Bitty bitty sky
On a crutch rate
Country
Some scratch for it
Others snatch for it
Can't scrape for it
Can't escape for it
Check it out for it
Turn a sip for it
Some slip from it
Others strip for it
Any grip for it
What is it
What is it
What is it
Some preach for it
Even teach for it
Like a leash to it
Can't be teaching them
All crawl for it
Still stall for it
All fall for it
When you jump for it
Some slash for it
Others stash for it
Some cash into it
Others smash for it
Do lines for it
Break rhymes for it
Do crimes for it
Do time for it
Sugar cane, sugar cane
Sugar cane, sugar cane
Sugar cane, sugar cane
Sure...we're gonna take our chances
To turn and seek you
Couldn't go
"And again."
Sure we're without a reason
I'm calling out for love
Is there anybody home
"Nice."
Ray got caught
Her fingers in the till
Sent us home
Money came to Will
Frank came home
With a black and blue
Working at the station
Where he can't break through
Was working on the coin
On the union stand
With a digital aid
And a union band
Saw a moving statue
Saw the bullet train
And a sheltered city
Where clowns scream
Our move ruined it
Saw the money God
Brothers say by a ring
Others sat by the brim
Tonight high-q site
Want these innocent
Bing-bang
And the big bang
Big bang, big bang
Die like a butterfly
Die like a butterfly
Die like I'm gonna die
Die like a moon in charge
Die
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight

Yesterday I spent asleep
Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap
Spent the night trying to make a deadline
Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline
I have your face in an old Polaroid
Tidying the childrens clothes and toys
You smiling back at me I took the photo from the fridge
Can't remember what Emily did
Haven't been with a woman, it feels like, for years
Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears
This shitty world sometimes produces a rose
The scent of it lingers but then it just goes
Return the call to home
The worst of us are a long drawn-out confession
The best of us are geniuses of compression
You say you're not gonna leave the truth alone
I'm here 'cause I don't wanna go home
Child drinking dirty water from a riverbank
Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank
Waiting on the waiter, he's taking a while to come
Watching the sun go down on Lebanon
Return the call to home
I got a head like a lit cigarette
Unholy clouds reflect in a minaret
So high above me, higher than everyone
Where are you in the cedars of Lebanon?
Choose your enemies carefully, 'cause they will define you
Make them interesting 'cause in some ways they will mind you
They're not there in the beginning but when your story ends
Gonna last with you longer than your friends
<@#U2_City_Of_Blinding_Lights.txt#@>
The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you grow
I knew much more then than I do now
Neon heart, day-glow eyes
The city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
And people like us
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight...in the city of blinding lights
Don't think before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs, purple irises the camera can't see
I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you've made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight...tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time...time....time...won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
The more you know, the less you feel
Some pray for , others steal
Blessings not just for the ones who kneel...luckily.

Yeah, lover I'm off the streets
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire
She's the candle
Burning in my room
I'm like the needle
Needle and spoon
Over the counter
With a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, Desire
(Burning, Burning)
She's the dollars
She's my protection
She's the promise
In the year of election
Sister, I can't let you go
I'm like a preacher
Stealing hearts at a traveling show
For the love or money, money...?

Once you get a chance
You come to baby
Right back, you call me down
Used to think you wanted nothing to do
Was to say nothing at all
You went like the one time
A two time
You're back, and me
Drop off the back seat
Of a bad car
Where finders
Came alone
"F"
Wishing her out of my life
Wishing her...
What am I to do
Came a talk to street
And a time that you listen
Don't you beg the time on me
They said you oughta call her back
I want to, but afraid to say
I won't hang up on you baby, child
Nothing feels like this before
Here in in my life
Yeah in heaven and hell
Baby you're heaven and hell
Heaven and hell
"F"
Oh, heaven and hell
All the time...
Want a chance to hold you
Want a chance to kill
I want a chance to keep you awake at night
When the sunlight burns through your love
But you can't always get
Everything you want
You take cards from all under the table
You're heaven, heaven and hell
Baby you're heaven...heaven and hell
Yeah, you're heaven...heaven and hell
Cover me
"E!"
"Okay organ. Just organ."
Darkness
You light up my darkness
You light up my darkness
And open up
"F"
"Organ."
"This time when we come in, come in a little bit quietly. Not the drums, but
everyone else."

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
Feeling sea sick again
An the world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water
I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be as blue as you
It's her daylight that gets me through
We've been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a two year old
Who just wanted more
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
It's a private show no one else going to know
I'm waiting
Sunlight
Sunlight fills my room
It's sharp and it's clear
But nothing at all like the moon
It's okay
The struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon is a mirror ball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when it falls
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress

She's a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
Knows I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight
There's a part of me in chaos that's quiet
And there's a part of you that wants me to riot
Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?
Change of heart comes slow
It's not a hill it's a mountain
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me or are you doubting?
We're gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight
Every generation gets a chance to change the world
Pity the nation that won't listen to your boys and girls
Is the sweetest melody the one we haven't heard?
Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear?
The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear
But change of heart comes slow
It's not a hill it's a mountain
As you start out the climb
You see for me I've been shouting
But we're gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight
Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone
Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone
Ha, ha, ha
It's not a hill it's a mountain
You see for me I've been shouting
Let's shout until the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light
You know we'll go crazy
You know we'll go crazy
You know we'll go crazy, if we don't go crazy tonight

In the ocean
Cut, swim, deep the sky
Like there, I don't know why
In the forest, there's a clearing
I run there towards the light
Sky...
It's a blue sky
In the earth a hole dig deep, decide
If I could, I would
Up for air to swim against the tide
Hey, hey, hey
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day
So wind blow through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind blow through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind blow through to my heart...
You give yourself to this the longest day
You give yourself, you give it all away
Two rivers run too deep
The seasons change and so do I
The light that strikes the tallest trees
Will light a way for I
Will light a way
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart...
You give yourself to this the longest day
You give yourself, you give it all away

Lay down
Lay down
Lay your sweet lovely on the ground
Lay your love on the track
We're gonna break the monster's back
Yes we are...
Lay down your treasure
Lay it down now brother
You don't have time
For a jealous lover
As you enter this life
I pray you depart
With a wrinkled face
And a brand new heart
I don't know if I can take it
I'm not easy on my knees
Here's my heart you can break it
I need some release, release, release
We need
Love and peace
Love and peace
Lay down
Lay down your guns
All your daughters of Zion
All your Abraham sons
I don't know if I can make it
I'm not easy on my knees
Here's my heart and you can break it
I need some release, release, release
We need
Love and peace
Love and peace
Baby don't fight
We can talk this thing through
It's not a big problem
It's just me and you
You can call or I'll phone
The TV is still on
But the sound is turned down
And the troops on the ground
Are about to dig in
And I wonder where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Love and peace
<@#U2_Love_Rescue_Me.txt#@>
Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and don't let me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me
Love rescue me
Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
They ask me to reveal
The very thoughts they would conceal
Love rescue me
And the sun in the sky
Makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
Said, love rescue me
In the cold mirror of a glass
I see my reflection pass
See the dark shades of what I used to be
See the purple of her eyes
The scarlet of my lies
Love rescue me
Yea, though I walk
In the valley of shadow
Yea, I will fear no evil
I have cursed thy rod and staff
They no longer comfort me
Love rescue me
Sha la la...sha la la la
Sha la la la...ha la la...
Sha la la la...sha la la la
Sha la la la...sha la la
Sha la la la...sha la la la
Sha la la...
I said love, love rescue me
I said love
Climb up the mountains, said love
I said love, oh my love
On the hill of the son
I'm on the eve of a storm
And my word you must believe in
Oh, I said love, rescue me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...
Yeah I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
I said love rescue me
I've conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance
To a new world I can see
The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me
Love rescue me
<@#U2_One.txt#@>
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you made me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
One
<@#U2_One_Tree_Hill.txt#@>
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy love
The sun so bright it leaves no shadows
Only scars carved into stone
On the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
You run like river, on like a sea
You run like a river runs to the sea
And in the world a heart of darkness
A fire zone
Where poets speak their heart
Then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon
In the hands of love
You know his blood still cries
From the ground
It runs like a river runs to the sea
It runs like a river to the sea
I don't believe in painted roses
Or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again
When the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red
Over One Tree Hill
We run like a river
Run to the sea
We run like a river to the sea
And when it's raining
Raining hard
That's when the rain will
Break my heart
Raining...raining in the heart
Raining in your heart
Raining...raining to your heart
Raining, raining...raining
Raining to your heart
Raining...raining in your heart
Raining in your heart..
To the sea
Oh great ocean
Oh great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea

So you never knew love
Until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
Till you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive
Until you almost wasted away
You had to win
You couldn't just pass
The smartest ass
At the top of the class
Your flying colors
Your family tree
And all your lessons in history
Please
Please
Please
Get up off your knees
Please
Please
Please
So you never know
How low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew
What was on the ground till they mad you crawl
And you never knew that
The heaven you keep you stole
Your catholic blues
Your convent shoes
Your stick on tattoos
Now they're making the news
Your holy war
Your northern star
Your sermon on the mount
From the booth of your car
Please
Please
Please
Get up off your knees
Please
Please
Please
Leave me out of this
So love is hard and love is tough
But love is not what you're thinking of
September
Streets capsizing
Spilling over
Down the drain
Shards of glass splinters like rain
But you could only feel
Your own pain
October
Talking getting nowhere
November
December
Remember
Are we just starting again
Please
Please
Please
Get up off your knees
Please
Please
Please
Please
So love is big bigger than us
But love is not what your thinking of
It's what lovers deal
It's what lovers steal
You know I've found it hard to receive
'Cause you my love I could never believe

From father to son
The blood runs thin
See faces frozen still
Against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
There's no going back
Through hands of steel
And heart of stone
Our labor day
Has come and gone
Yeah you leave me holding on
In Red Hill town
See lights go down, I'm
Hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You I can't live without
Yeah you keep me holding on
In Red Hill town
See the lights go down on
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
Hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to, on to
We'll scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
We stoop so low, to reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone
We wait all day
For night to come
And it comes
Like a hunter child
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
Love, slowly stripped away
Love, has seen its better day
Hanging on
The lights go out on Red Hill
The lights go down on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill town
The lights go down on Red Hill

In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Down in the dark of the Cumberland Mine
There's blood on the coal and the miners lie
In the roads that never saw sun nor sky.
In the roads that never saw sun nor sky.
In the town of Springhill, you don't sleep easy
Often the earth will tremble and roar
When the earth is restless, miners die
Bone and blood is the price of coal.
Bone and blood is the price of coal.
In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Late in the year of fifty-eight
Day still comes and the sun still shines
(But it's) Dark as the grave in the Cumberland mine.
(But it's) Dark as the grave in the Cumberland mine.
Down at the coal face, miners working
Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade
Rumble of the rock and the walls closed round
(The) Living and the dead men two miles down.
(The) Living and the dead men two miles down.
Twelve men lay two miles from the pit shaft
Twelve men lay in the dark and sang
Long hot days in the miners tomb
(It was) Three feet high and a hundred long.
(It was) Three feet high and a hundred long.
Three days past and the lamps gave out
And Caleb Rushton got up and and said
There?s no more water, or light, or bread
(So we'll) Live on song and hope instead.
(So we'll) Live on song and hope instead.
Listen for the shouts of the barefaced miners
Listen through the rubble for a rescue team
Six hundred feet of coal and slag
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam.
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam.
Eight days passes and some were rescued
Leaving the dead to lie alone
Through all their lives they dug their grave
Two miles of earth for a marking stone.
Two miles of earth for a marking stone.

Love love love love love
Love love love love love
I got stand up and tale a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to stand up
The wire is stretched in between our two towers
Stand up in this dizzy world
Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
I'm gonna fall down if I can't stand up
For your love
Love love love love love
Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lottery may have left you smart
But can you stand up to beauty, dictator of the heart
I can stand up for hope, faith love
But while I'm getting over certainty
Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady
Out from under your beds
C'mon ye people
Stand up for your love
Love love love love love
I gotta stand up to ego bet my ego's not really the enemy
It's like a small child crossing an eight lane highway
On a voyage of discovery
Stand up to rock stars, Napolean is high heels
Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas
Out form under your beds
C'mon ye people
Stand up for your love
Love love love love love
God is love
And love is evolution's very best day
Soul rockin' people moving on
Soul rockin' people on and on
C'mon ye people
We're made of stars
C'mon ye people
Stand up then sit down for your love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
<@#U2_Stuck_In_A_Moment.txt#@>
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But Darling, look at you,
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby
You've got to get yourself together
Youv'e got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake the colours that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks, they left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now, my, oh my
Youve got to get yourself together
Youve got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
Stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
Youve got to get yourself together
Youve got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the days wont last
And if your way should falter
Along that stony pass
It's just a moment (that you are a fool to cry)
This time will pass

There are murders that we must account for
Bloody deeds have been done in my name
Criminal acts we must pay for
And our children will shoulder the blame
[Chorus: x2]
I'm a British subject, not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame
As a nation we're following blindly
No-one stops to question why
Our money's supporting an army
And a boy in Soweto dies
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x2]
I'm a British subject, not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame
Must we go on ignoring forever
The cries of an African son
There's a soldier's hand on the trigger
But it's we who are pointing the gun
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x2]
I'm a British subject, not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame
<@#UB40_Dont_Blame_Me.txt#@>
I think its only fair to say
We'd welcome riches down our way
No stigma knotted in my hair
I want to be a millionaire
Nevertheless I must insist
A thought is spared for those who missed
The handouts when it came to wealth
To education and good health
The time has come now all can see
As seeing this is killing me
Our future victim to command
Together we can lend a hand
[Chorus]
So don't blame me for wanting more
The facts are too hard too ignore
I'm scared to death of poverty
I only want what's best for me
But even so I'm holding on
I think the world can live as one
If only credence took the lead
The world would see a world to feed
An endless sea of blood that's spilt
Enough to sail an ark of guilt
And when we lend our helping hand
We'll have our green and pleasant land

Rasta, them style ya a just levelment uncle seen
Hold me position, just a hold me position

Go on, hold me position, just a hold me position
Just like jesus christ in the valley of decision

Got him plan from the older one
Him had to hold him position, had to hold him position yeh
Hold him position, had to hold him position
Well rhythm like this makes me and me daughter

Special request to 39 acker tree, frontline, everyman on kime

Lyrics like this jab know never go jest

Hey, you, hurry come up
See how fast you come down
You run up your mouth
You run out of luck
You're running out of town
Hurry come up now you're all alone
You had to kick dirt on your stepping stone
You lost your way across the land
Foundations crumble built on shifting sand
[Chorus]
Hurry come up in the blink of an eye
You crowned yourself king of the castle high
You'll never get to heaven if you tell a lie
There's a hole in your bucket and your well's run dry
[Chorus]
Hurry come up we've got nothing to say
We sit back and watch you give yourself away
Where's all the power now they've pulled the plug
You're up to your neck in the hole you dug
[Chorus]
Hurry come up your edges are rough
We need a little love ain't life tough enough
There's no coming back your ticket's one way
Your journey don't start till judgment day
[Chorus]
Hurry come up just a fast as you can
Time's running out for your master plan
Cards on the table enough is enough
They hold the aces now they call your bluff
[Chorus]
Hurry come up when you turn off the light
How do you sleep in your bed at night
It's all a bad dream but no-one can hear
You only have yourself to fear

I won't close my eyes
To the sufferers plight.
In a world full of sadness
I won't turn off my light.
Our cries for justice are shots in the dark
But our strength's in our bite
And not in our bark
It's time to stand
And shout it out loud
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.
I won't close my eyes
When I know that I'm right
When I'm drowning in tears
I won't turn off my light.
We're shown no respect
But that can't break our pride,
When our backs to the wall
We won't run and we won't hide
It's time to stand, face the oncoming crowd
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.
I won't close my eyes
When the future don't look bright
Though the road seems too long
I won't turn off my light
In a world full of darkness,
I won't turn off my light.

Those were the happiest time in all my life
Now were separated I don't know what I will do
'Cause I can't ever love another

I hope you'll hear my song
Then maybe you'll realise
My love that you were wrong
'Cause I can't ever love another
No matter how hard I try
'Cause I know. It's impossible

I tread so awkwardly
Afraid someone may steal you
I guard you jealously
Then sing the world your praises

Why do you have to live your life playing up a role
Intimidating people with your wall of sight and sound
You and your kind destroy our underground
All the happiness you destroy
All the brutal tactics that you always employ
All the fucking bullshit when will it ever stop
The comparison is obvious, you're a fucking cop
Officer, you act like an animal, you're out of control

The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I've been down so low
Had nowhere left to go

All your promises were lies

But all things change, and tides must turn
And you let all your bridges burn
Too many fatal wounds to heal

To see if you've been boogie-ing, ah you know what I mean
My left leg's dragging my right leg's limp
My heads so wavy and I can't feel it
I gotta see you baby, you'll be alright
I want to boogie baby, boogie tonight
Well old George is boogie-ing he's been a boogie-ing with you
Ah I want to boogie with you baby

Got some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right
No more movies for a week or two
No more running round with the usual crew
Ah who cares? c'mon everybody
Well my baby's number one but I gotta dance with three or four
The place is really shaking from the bare feet slapping on the floor
When you hear the music you can't sit still
Your brother won't rock but your sister will
Whoo! c'mon everybody
My place is really rocking so we gotta put a guard outside
If my folks come home I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide
No more movies for a week or two, no more running round with the usual crew

<@#Ufo_Flying.txt#@>
[disputed lyrics in brackets]
Have you ever had the time to see, me and you could change to be
Take a dream away with you live it now and you will see
Found myself on an open road [got no hand] to show the way
Upped and started walking on to a land seemed so far away
After so long felt I was damned then I reached some gates and held a hand
But came to the point of sing and say, laughing people led me in to stay
Their happiness [held me, made me ] strong. I felt this is where I belong
I don't want another day just wanna laugh live sing and say
It's so strange I feel this way, it's so real, it's happening today,
Stop still something burns my body falls I begin to turn
(instrumental verse)
Flying drifting falling down, I found myself beneath the ground,
In a place that's strange to me, the earth is black and there's not a tree
Well it's so dark there's not a sound just the feeling of wanting to be found
I must make haste to be gone, in this place I do not belong
I thought I tried to move a foot, I just remained where I stood,
And in the distance I heard aloud the shrill of blank deathly sound
I tried, I tried, I tried to run, but every move I was where I begun,
It's too late, shadows over me blind my eyes I cannot see
All my strength all my love, someone help me please above,
Death will surely take me down, I'll be doomed to live beneath the ground
(instrumental)
[see your two, see your one,] see your tomb, see you run, you fool, you fool
your life has just begun
I'm here to taunt and torment you
I can make you do what I want you to
Black it out and drag you down, all kinds of evil wear a crown
Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt, lay your body in the dirt
If I were a fool I'd believe it's true but I have no fear of what you can do
See I'm free I can be just anyone that I want to be
Leave me now get out of my way
(instrumental)
[see your two, see your one] see your tomb, see your rock, who are you fooling
life's just begun
Here to taunt, to torment you
I can make you do what I want you to,
Knock it out drag you down, all kinds of people were aware of it now?
Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt, lay your body in the dirt
If I were a fool I'd believe it's true but I have no fear of what you can do
See I'm free so leave me alone I wanna go my way and be alone
Get out of my sight, get out of my way
(more instrumental)
I'm not through, and I'm on the run, you're the fool my life's not been done
I'll taunt you and I'll torment you
(instrumental)
Have this way with a dream never leave me so it seems
Life by night, life by day, the tale they tell will always stay
Walk the earth, walk the sky, don't let all this time go by
Hang on fast, don't let go or someone else will never know
Ride a road along with me chase a dream we all can see
Don't let bad, just see good it's all that just what you should
No truth will ever come along shine so bright in your eyes
No wide wonder will do that for you, just lock it fast, do what you got to do
Shout it loud, shout out loud just live how you want to be
Show yourself show yourself, live how you got to be
(more instrumental, followed by a verse from rudyard kipling's "gunga din"
taped backwards: "though I've belted you and flayed you, by the living God
that made you, you're a bette
Than I am, gunga din."
And then, in ultra super-slo-mo, "yes we know it's all be done before before
before before before before")

Change your mind telling me lies

Time after time, told me lies these are things girl which I despise
If I go wrong in your eyes, leave you girl in the morning
Leave you girl in the morning
As time goes by wish you had never treated me so bad
You know you're only going to want me back
Far away in the morning far away in the morning

Follow you home in the morning, follow you home in the morning

Give Her The Gun
Downtown, drive by, a drink card in her hand
All night hustler parking by the stand
Full blown engine, she comes on like a fight
Give her the gun, boy you'd better hold on tight
I don't know why, she brings me on
I don't know why, ooh but she brings me on
She's a right runner, real mean mother too
I can't wait to see her break in front of you
Making a movie star upon the screen
If daddy's looking, you come on like a queen
I don't know why, she brings me on
I don't know why, but she brings me on
Downtown drive by, a drink card in her hand
All night hustler parking by the stand
Full blown engines she comes on like a fight
Give her the gun, boy you better hold on tight

Cold run speed highway was the place where we'd all go
When our nerves were razor sharp, and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll
Our machine's geared up, and we're really layin' it down
Layin' it out, let it roll
When these wheels get rollin'
Let 'em roll right over you
'Cause I'm well greased down, and I'll always win it through
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll
Our machine's geared up, and we're really layin' it down
Layin' it out, let it roll
Cold run speed highway was the place where we'd all go

Quit my job at the 7-11
3-d vision and a glance of heaven
Picked up my six string began to play
Just one touch and it started to say
All your dreams will come true
Lovely mansion with a pool so blue
A red Ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
A thousand motels waiting to trash
Tv dinners, well I love that bash
And if you Eddie, just say hi
This party's open so drop on by
All your dreams will come true
A sunny haven from the inland revenue
Hot nights in Paris a chance to dance
Since I signed up I've been living in a trance
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
I'm feeling sick like dawn of the dead
I've got marines marching through my head
John-boy Walton, he's so nice
So come in this must be paradise
All your dreams will come true
That lovely mansion with it's pool so blue
A red Ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see

I'm the writer got a front page cover
Hot gossip 'bout who's with their latest lover
I write all chapters by the second scene
I call the shots, don't need a Fleet Street team
I am a writer and I'm the news
You cross me you know you're gonna lose
I'll do the story if you're dead or alive
If seconds out or if you're gonna take a dive
Slip out the news or a piece of scandal
Don't toe the line, 'cause nothing's too hot to handle
I am the writer and I'm the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
Yeah you're gonna lose
I am a writer and I am the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
And where you are it's because of me
'Cause overnight you know it don't come free
I'll put you up there or I'll bring you down
'Cause nothing moves without me in this town
I am a writer and I am the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
Boy you're gonna lose I said you're gonna lose
I write the news I am the news
Got to, got to lose
Oh yeah you're gonna lose
So don't step on my blue suede shoes...

Tell me now and I'll understand
Does Venus hold you in the palm of her hand
Has her blackness touched your very heart
She'll smile sweetly as your world falls apart
[Chorus]
And I just can't quit it babe
I just can't stand the pain
And I just can't quit it babe
I keep running back again
Little by little piece by piece
Your defenses have all slipped away
And real beauty's such an elusive thing
Somewhere down the line you'll have to pay
[Chorus]
Oh no, its such a cold, cold feeling
Cuts your body to the bone
Oh no, its a strange, strange feeling
Loves been abandoned and I'm so alone
And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer
I've nothing left but this very life to save
And evrey night I feel that I'm a winner
She's taking me down to the grave
And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer
I can't seem to chase the ghosts away
And every night I get too high, I'm a winner
I've nothing left but to pray
And every night she makes me feel like a winner
And every night she makes me think I'm a winner
Venus smiles and encircles me
And wraps me in a soft princely gown
Waves of darkness rise like the sea
In her addiction I will drown

Well, they keep on taking my heart
And they keep on taking my soul
They keep taking an inch when I give them a mile
And now it seems it's been a while since anyone smiled
They don't know me
They don't know me
But my name is on the highway sign, never look behind
All those troubles are gone, nothing left but to run
So meet me down and don't be shy
A place where we can hide
There ain't nothing to fear
There ain't no-one back here
But you and I and these cloudy skies
So it's time to leave our home
And see the faces we've out-grown
Through the years we've kept our backs to the wind
So long, farewell, good-bye my friend

Words of love, hard to find
Gotta find my mother, she won't lie
Where the hell's my father?

Swimming in the water
One last time
Imagination cross my mind
I beat the bush, I beat the bush
Shove me down
Where the hell's my father?
Farther, farther
You like to lie
Father, old man, can you find me?
Father, old man, do you care?
Father, old man, can you find me?
Do you care?

My superstars were laced up tight
And all the sinners were gathered in white
The pearly gates were opened up wide
And the Lord must have seen me with his big red eyes
So I stepped out to the clouds
The Holy Father was getting down
And as I ordered a round of drinks
He said I got a little story tell me what you think
Moses used to sniff the lines
Noah used to rock the boat sometimes
Mary used to get undone
Jesus rode a Harley Davidson
All the angels were gathered around
Leather boots and lace night gowns
And one started to kiss my feet
She said the Lord got a red light on at every street
My superstars were laced up tight
And all the sinners were gathered in white
The pearly gates were opened up wide
And the Lord must have seen me with his big red eyes

Please believe me, my love, and I'll show you

Leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me 'till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real
Therefore you know the way I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel

Oh yeah!
Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand

Just a grain of sand on a thousand beaches
Just like dust in the wind
Try to understand why I go to pieces
Don't know where to begin
Got a smokin' hand, nobody knows plan
But I can feel it, it's gonna overload
It's a greed machine, it means everything
I'm gonna have to get it out of my head
Got a screaming hand, shadows are all my friends
Cause they conceal me when I overload
It's a greed machine, it means everything to me
I can't conceal it when it overloads
I still shine
Got a smokin' hand, no one can understand
But I can feel it's gonna overload
It's a greed machine, it means everything to me
I can't conceal it when it overloads

All the way from across the sea
From man to you, from the man to me
Four white sticks with good intentions
Feed the flame
For my protection
I want to know what you want
To find what I don't

Falling down a broken spiral
Head the flame for no tomorrow
Back up on your feet again
Hole my hand, I'll be your friend
The leaves are falling
Falling down

Give us this day all that you showed me

Till my kingdom comes.
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory
Till my kingdom comes.
Give me all the storybook told me
The faith and the glory
Till my kingdom comes.
And they said that in our time
All that's good will fall from grace.
Even saints would turn their face in our time.
And they told us that in our days
Different words said in different ways
Have other meanings from he who says in out time:
Give us this day all that you showed me
And they said that in our time we would reap from their legacy
We would learn from what they had seen in our time.
And they told us that in our days
We would know what was high on high
We would follow and not defy in our time.
Give us this day all that you showed me
Faithless in faith
We must behold the things we see.
Give us this day all that you showed me

But there's no turning back
You may think that I'm wrong but hear what I'm saying
You have to believe

Stand up to your fear now before it gets too late
I won't be here at your side I pray
Get a hold on yourself

Sleepwalk.
Rolling and falling, I'm choking and calling,
Name after name after name.
Sleepwalk.
Naked and bleeding, the streetlights stray by me,
Hurting my eyes with their glare.
Sleepwalk.
Helplessly breaking, exchanging my faces,
Destined, we had to collide.
Sleepwalk!
Taut on the outside, I'm crumpling and crawling,
Watching the day drag away.
Spiralling deeper, I can't feel my fingers,
Rip round my throat as I dream.
Dream!
Sleepwalk.
<@#Ultravox_Stranger_Within.txt#@>
Light comes through a crack in the door
I tape up the windows once more
Tight like a cold hand of steel
Don't fear the stranger within
Hands that petrify in the air
Eyes catching things never there
Sweet tension caught on my breath
Don't fear the stranger within
Watch every shape that escapes
Scared to make the final mistake
Speak to hear the sound of your voice
Don't fear the stranger within
Sit in the corner with your back to the wall
Pray to your God with your head in your hands
Your mask of fear is shrinking fast
It's closing in more amour
You stand on borrowed time, your sweating palms and chilling brow
Your wide-eyed panic makes you laugh, you cry and laugh
Freeze until the noise decays, a shuffle from behind a door
Your throat is tight, it makes you choke and smoke and choke
Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark, a stifled scream that won't come out
There's nothing more to fear from the stranger within
Don't fear the stranger within
I feel the stranger within
I see the stranger within
Don't know the stranger within
I am the stranger within
I am the stranger within

Walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame
So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until
The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
The music is weaving
Haunting notes, pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings
A cool empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
The image has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

85 miles out of Nashville, thinkin' bout
The way things change
Try an keep it by the reigns
I'm a lone drifter, big money flipper
Take anything you got on the rocks in snifter
I missed her in Kentucky, went down to Louisiana
I never had no lovin' like I had in Alabama
A man of my word ain't out to hurt nobody
I'm just a M see to keep the boogie in the party
Been singin' lodi dodi since 84
And I'll be singin' lodi dodi 'til I'm 84
I couldn't ask for more, life's been sweet
So you can save the planet,
I'll save your seat
I been gone for weeks, I ain't slept days
I can't find myself in this self made maze
It's been so long since I've been fine
I'm just tryin' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine
And I know I'll see better days
Well I know you'll see things my way
I never thought about change until
Spend a little time where time stood still
Been lookin' for a mill but I keep comin' up shy
I been a broke fool, I ain't tryin' to be that guy
Want to ride like lightning, roll like thunder
I'm tryin' to get some money, I ain't getting any younger
At times I wonder, at times I won't
Sometimes I give a fuck but most times I don't
even care, through stained glass windows these eyes stare
I try to stay straight but it's kickin' my ass
Every time I look ahead I get a glimpse of the past
I sit half mass like a soldier's flag
That's why my left leg limps and my Dickies sag
It's been so long since I've been fine
I'm just tryin' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine
And I know I'll see better days
Well I know you'll see things my way
And I know I'll see better days
Well I know you'll see things my way
Well I been around this crooked land
I come across walks, I shook Jim Beam's hand
I got no plans and no place to go
It keep getting harder to just say no
I see the people laugh and people cry
That's how some live and that's how some die
Well me myself I'm gonna sit right here
And I'm a watch this world break down in tears
All my fears and dark grey skies
Couldn't crack my smile or break my stride
Got too much pride, I got too much shout
I might be down but I still ain't out
Got too much time and that's all I have
When I leave this world I'll still be sad
It's been so long since I've been fine
I'm just tryin', to see the bottom of this bottle of wine
And I know I'll see better days
Well I know you'll see things my way
And I know I'll see better days
Well I know you'll see things my way

On the other side of a coin there's a face
There's a memory somewhere that I can't erase
And there's a place that I'll find someday
But sometimes I feel like it's slipping away
[Chorus]
Some things are lost, some left behind
Some things are better left for someone else to find
Maybe in time I could finally see
I just wonder, wonder if you think about me
[Chorus]
I'll be thinking about you baby
I'll be thinking about you baby, baby, baby
<@#Uncle_Kracker_No_Stranger_To_Shame.txt#@>
[Chorus]
I'm no stranger to shame
I've got little to blame
You sent for me and so I came
I'll come runnin' when you call my name
'cause I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
I might stagger and I might sway
I might stutter just a bit but that's OK
I'm not walkin' too good that's true
I got a broke ass limp that'll pull me though
I might appear to be a pile of rags
But I'm a stack of hundreds in a paper bag
I've been around this world and back
I made a million bucks and put it all on black
So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
It's not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because
So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
It's not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because
[Chorus]
I've been known to wake up in some dirty places
The sun only shines on deserving faces
The mind erases, forgets the stars
See each and every city has corner bar
That's where I am in a world so grim
The lights are as bright as the day is dim
See I'm priceless in a class of my own
I used to stay out late but now I don't go home
So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
It's not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because
How do you feel when the birds are chirpin'
When your in bed and everybody is workin'
Are you down with the non believers
Make the slackers look like over achievers
The dogs scratchin' on the door again
The cat's out but he don't want to come in
You got a bed and you got a floor
But the couch is closer to your front door
So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
It's not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because
[Chorus]
<@#Uncle_Kracker_Nuthin_Changes.txt#@>
I got more cash than I can put in a bank
Got pink piranhas swimming in my tank
Two piece bikinis all around my pool
My 40-ouncer is never not cool
Frank Sinatra on the radio
Some chase the rainbow, I chase the gold
Nuthin' changes, it's always the same
Nuthin' changes, I can't complain
Nuthin' changes, we roll and we rock
Nuthin' changes, thank God
I got a yacht parked down in the keys
I write my name in the sand when I pee
My body's tanned except for my wrist
That's where my shiny diamond Rolex is
Don Williams on the radio
Brown bag my diamond, take my lobster to go
Nuthin' changes, it's always the same
Nuthin' changes, I can't complain
Nuthin' changes, we roll and we rock
Nuthin' changes, thank God
It's so easy, so warm and breezy
I'm so lucky to be me
I got a 24 car garage
I snap my fingers when I want a massage
Nuthin' but sevens when I roll the dice
Sometimes it's lonely, but the view is nice
Nuthin' changes, it's always the same
Nuthin' changes, I can't complain
Nuthin' changes, we roll and we rock
Nuthin' changes, thank God
Nuthin' changes, it's always the same
Nuthin' changes, you won't hear me complain
Nuthin' changes, we roll and we rock
Nuthin' changes, thank God

Well she was lookin out the window
And I was starin at the door
The dog was sleepin on the sofa
This place has never been this quiet before
You can't pretend it never happened
You can't pretend it's still the same
You can't say you were only jokin'
You can't keep thinkin' things can go on this way
[CHORUS ]
Some things you can't take back
Though you wish you could
Some things you can''t take back
Though the glass has been broke
And the milk has been spilled
And your loves on the line
Some things you can't take back
When someone says there's no tomorrow
When the writings on the wall
After all have cried and spoken
And your poor heart has taken such a fall
[REPEAT CHORUS ]
If I could reset the clock and go back in time
I'd erase the thoughts that went through my mind
You know I never would leave
And I'd still have you with me
You can't pretend it never happened
You can't pretend it's still the same
You can't say you were only jokin'
You can't keep thinkin' things can go on this way
[REPEAT CHORUS ]
Some things you can't take back
'Cause in the cold light of day the pieces all blew away
And now I'm livin' a lie
Some things you can't take back

I remember you like it was yesterday
Remember the time you said you'd find me
I remember the songs that you used to play
I hear them still and it reminds me
My runaway you know you've gone wrong for so long
So glamorous at the outset
Now you're almost done
You're not free
You're only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin' on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you can't feel
You're not free
You're only lost
Prayin' to God
You've broken the chains
One day you'll look back
And think of my name
All of your friends
Pretend you're the best
They run you around
But they could care less
They'll never see
How good it could be
No man like me
They'll never know
Just where it could go
You think you're free
You're not free
You're only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin' on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you can't feel
You stumbled
And you still don't see it
The losers always think they can win
You're never gonna wanna believe it
You think you're gone
But I see ya yeah
You're not free
You're only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin' on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you can't feel
You're not free
You're only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls

That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you can't feel
You're not free
You're only lost

Do you remember, remember D. Boon
Part of what he was is a part of me now and if you think back, where would he
be
Where would I be if time had allowed
This isn't written for any one man it's about me
This isn't written for anyone alive just the songs that he sang
I've been told that it's a waste of time
Well, so what
Will it be worth mine
And if Managua's bullets don't fly young men still would die for glory
Or for their countries
It's just me and Jay
Playing our guitars along with it all
This isn't written for any one man it's about me
This isn't written for anyone alive just the songs that he sang
And I'm not old
So I've got nothing but time to waste will it be worth mine
<@#Uncle_Tupelo_John_Hardy.txt#@>
John Hardy, he was a desperate little man
Carried two guns every day
Shot a man down by the West Virginia line
They saw John Hardy get away
They saw John Hardy get away
They cornered John Hardy on the Tombstone bridge
He thought that he was free
'Til the deputy sheriff came and grabbed him by the arm
Said "Johnny, come along with me"
"Johnny, come along with me"
John Hardy, he stood inside his cell
Tears running down his eyes
Said "I've seen the death of many a poor boy
Now I'm ready to die
Now I'm ready to die"
Well, I've been to the east and I've been to the west
I've been the whole world round
I've been to the north and I've been to the south
Now I'm going to my hanging ground

(So) Take it home right away,
You've got three years to pay
But Satan is waiting his turn.

It seems like this whole town's insane.
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain.

It'll all wash away
But we don't believe any more
Cause we've got our recruits
And our green mohair suits
So please show you ID At the door.

A friend came around.
Tried to clean up this town.
His ideas made some people mad.
Cause he trusted his crowd,
So he spoke right out loud,
And they lost the best friend they had.

Facing forwards, sinking in thin air
Help me to learn, to breath again
I know I've lost my way
So show me
There are demons inside my head
I always let them win
I have to learn to suffocate them
The lost ask for a hand
But I can't stop, I never stop
I've been losing my footing here
I'm all mixed up in this
I need some kind of change
God make it stop, I can't make it stop
This place is getting smaller
Everything in your darkest thoughts about me might be true
I hear the words you say, I still feel nothing
I put my voice out there for you to hear
But the words never made much sense to you
I've lost my path
I'm fading fast
Time is short
Time is up
I've been losing my footing here
I'm all mixed up in this
I need some kind of change
God make it stop, I can't make it stop
This place is getting smaller
This is really my plan
To get out in one piece
Is this really your plan
To keep me lost and on my knees
I say redemption
Can someone help me hold on
<@#Underoath_The_Best_Of_Me.txt#@>
In my mind you never left
Falling wasn't true
I had faith you flew past the sky
Straight through the night
And the sun reflects the night
Carrying the very same thing
In your heart that saved me
But maybe you've stopped listening
Falling on my selfish ways
It takes faith to see
So close your eyes and search
Deeper than just memories
I never stopped believing in you and me
Your leaving never changed things
I've been here for too long
To just walk away

He-he-heat in your skin
Pull up a chair and unwind
Dog we don't share
The taxi left us behind
Silhouette of a psychic reader in the market
And the straw wrapped around a bottle to take home
Barbecue chicken oil in a drum, double strong wrong
Here comes the horn you call for
Woman in a box with her head in her box
Speaks french when spoken like a tourist french
Hey classic coca-cola in a can when you want to cool down
Heat, she move up the street in waves
Sugar, sugar, clear your mind leave it all behind
Get in the boat and float
Join in on a high spot and ride, ride
Put on some smile
Stay for a while

We must battle on
Through barren lands and waste
While there is still light of day
Allegiance to the cursed and tortured ways
To plain sight we sow the seeds for apathy
Bury us in our sorrow, erode our strength
Bury us in our sorrow shadowed and silenced
Battle on, battle on
Through barren lands and waste
Battle on, battle on
While there's still light of day
The time has come to ignite
Enraged in a venom haze
Cleared of the cloak of shadows
Headstrong to shake our claim
Drown away our sorrow
Fuels inner strength
Drown away our sorrow
A war cry leads us to this light
Into this fight
There's no surrender
I refuse to fall silent, I refuse
There's no surrender
Battle on, battle on
Through barren lands and waste
Battle on, battle on
While there's still light of day
Arise the war cry like it will be your last
Arise the war cry, arise the war cry like it is your last
Arise the war cry
Battle on, battle on
Through barren lands and waste
Battle on, battle on
While there's still light of day
Arise the war cry

Stealing from our savior

Take what's hers and these blood skies will reign
Oh mother close your eyes

Smother his life, the words cut right to the heart
Disease and threaten my family name
An epic stand is made, condemned

Damned to the beast of torment
Damned by the beast within us all
Crushed by the fear
More stone, more stone
More weight for Corey
Not one step forth could capture a mission of guilt
By law, avoids death on gallows hill
Through time, his fight will martyr my name
My soul free of a heretic
Crushed by the fear
More stone, more stone
More weight for Corey

Leave me my rightful land
Court of ayer and terminer

Damned to the beast of torment
Damned by the beast within us all

Beat down and strangled the rains
We stood to fight till the end

Keep rising,

It only took five days for the man to come for me
I know our faith is strong and belief is all we need

It was those lonely nights that tore us apart
And then our faith grew dim
It was our solemn sin
Forsaken, in the eyes of fire
We lost it all-in the eyes of fire

It was last night I knew I should have known

Is this the coming of our monarchy harmless

Hide behind our plans to nothing
Cage us

Each way I turn I turn my back
Each time I turn I always look back
I'm trying to please everyone I don't know how
I feel like I'm gonna
Explode I'm gonna explode
What should I do I really don't know
Should I stay home or should I go
Well I'm struggling with my sanity
Is my life crumbling in front of me.
Oh.
Do you know how it feels?
To feel like your gonna explode
Do you ever feel
Like your gonna explode.
Explode.

I remember the way when we used to play
All our troubles seemed so far away, yeah
That was when I lived from day to day
Do you remember the times
When all on our minds
Was having fun
And catching a buzz
That was life for you and for me
[Chorus: ]
Whoah, oh, oh I want it back
Whoah oh oh I want it back, now
I've got my life to live
Looking back now at all of my friends
And asking myself why these times had to end
Well, I'm older now than I was then
And it makes no sense to try and deny it
There's no use to try and defy it
That's the way life goes for you and for me
[Chorus: ]
Hey
Whoah, oh, oh I want it back
Whoah, oh, oh I want it back, now
I've got my life to live
Right now, right now, right now
<@#Unwritten_Law_Sorry.txt#@>
Afraid it comes to this
I really must admit
Your tits, your eyes, your lips
Are staring at me
I'm drooling at the chin
And I need to be within
Her skin
I want to sin
She stops me and she says
Slow down boy
I'm not easy
I don't wanna be a sleazy whore
So I showed her to the door
Over abundancy
And I'm not sorry
Girl you look so good
I really think we should
Your hood, with me, I would
So let's get started
I know I can't resist
I reach over for a kiss
I miss, she ducks, I wish
She get's up and she says
Slow down boy I'm not easy
I don't want to be a sleazy whore
So I showed her to the door
Over abundancy
And I'm not sorry
Then there she was in front of me
And it was very plain to see
She had this gleaming in her eye
Told me that she's down for the crime
Took me and threw me on the floor
As she screamed and begged for more
Yeah she said
I'm not sorry
Yeah I'm sorry
<@#Unwritten_Law_Up_All_Night.txt#@>
Can we talk about automatic satisfaction
Sittin' back relaxin' floored
What's wrong with kickin' it
When you're bored and lit
Lets smoke some cigarettes
And catch up on the back porch
Fire up another roach
We don't need a rest this is just a test
'cause we're alright, we're up all night
To see the sun come up again now
Just one more time no reason why
To see the sun come up again.
The more we try to change
The more we stay the same
We're caught up in the game and now
Just like empty picture frames
So now were to blame
Said we were gettin' down, on henessey and fountain
Smelled another mountain now
If you ain't gettin' down, you'll come around
And were alright, we're up all night
To see the sun come up again now
Just one more time, no reason why
To see the sun come up again.
So lets smoke some cigarettes
And catch up on the back porch
Fire up another roach
We don't need a rest, it's just a test
And as the world spins we'll watch it with a grin
And look in as the day begins
Well now it's on again, it's dawn again.
Yeah! Yeah!
And we're alright
We're up all night
To see the sun come up again now
Just one more time, no reason why
To see the sun come up again
Yeah we're alright, yeah we're alright
Yeah we're alright, up all night
Yeah we're alright, yeah we're alright
To see the sun come up again now!

Seen from the height
Of a thousand miles
The earth looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
But we can't find the things we need
Young man said the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test
The day of creation
Was our finest hour
It's something we ought to defend
But it's been so abused
Since the first day of light
That no glory can come in the end
Young man cried the old man
There is victory in staying alive
And if you care so little
For the world we're in
Why and what do you
Want to survive
Can't we try
To let the past go by
With it's lessons firmly
Settled in our minds
To our children one by one
And before the darkness comes
Let us leave a world full of light
Of a different kind
In truth they should meet
And with love
Their hearts should beat
And with patience
Solve the problems of our time
It wouldn't be so hard to do
It's only up to me and you
Let us not bequeath
A life that is a crime
Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test
Young man

Heaven's above
What on earth has this come to
What have I done
What can I do now to show you
There's still a chance
If you're ready to make up
It's not too late
'Cause I'm not ready to break up
I try to call
But you don't hear at all
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand
Don't walk away
We can get this heart mended
Or am I the fool
And has this love just ended
I tried to call
But you don't hear at all
I gotta keep on trying
To stop this love from dying
You've got to understand
That my heart is in your hand
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Tears me apart
Roses - blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
'Cause this burning in my heart
Tears me apart

Walkin' around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream
Is driving everyone insane
Then something will come
And make you feel
The master in control
Still you're picking up
And screwing anyone
Who's got a soul
I've been here
Far too long to remember
Sights and sounds
From this town of clowns
Makin' up, dressin' up
Walkin' around
Thinkin' that you're Greta Garbos
I'm sorry my dears
But we only sat down
And laughed and laughed in sorrow
But it was you
That opened the door
And it's that we thank you for
Everyone insane
Everyone's insane
<@#Uriah_Heep_Do_You_Know.txt#@>
All you seem to do want to do
Is break my heart
Seems to me
We're a lot better off apart
Time was when you took
A pride in puttin' me down
We'll I've some news for you
That's gonna turn ya around
I got no time for no crazy lady
And the games you want to play
'Cause a love like mine's
Gonna take some time
You can't save it for a rainy day
Well, l do you know
Do you know
Do you know what
I'm trying to say
Love's not a game
It's never the same
You gotta live your love
From day to day
Lonely days are long and
Sad nights are so black
Then I get right down thinkin'
Maybe I could take you back
Till at mornin' light
A new face appears at my door
As a kinda reminder that
I ain't seein' you no more
<@#Uriah_Heep_Firefly.txt#@>
My love lives at
The end of a rainbow
One day I'm gonna
Fly there on a firefly
High above white angry water
With a love song in my heart
Someday, somehow
I know I'm gonna get there
I've been patient for so long
All my daydreams
Seem so much nearer now
And I beg you hear my song
Firefly
On your glowing wings I'll ride
Till I sit beside
This dream of mine
Firefly, high on a risin' tide
Only want to touch
The things I've seen
Steppin' lightly from star to star
Cross a wilderness of blue
Wonderin' how much
In love with me you are
'Cause I'm so much in love with you
Firefly, can you take me
I ain't had no lovin' lately
Firefly bring me love
To my new horizon
The one that I've still
Got my eyes on, my my firefly
Firefly, firefly, firefly
In my dreams you come to me
The answer to my prayer
As I begin to feel
You warm my heart
I awake and you're not there
Now and then I see your eye
As the stars begin to shine
No rain to cool my passion
No! Not now!
No, now you're mine!
<@#Uriah_Heep_July_Morning.txt#@>
There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la
I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned
In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la
There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own

You know it's your game

There's gonna be no compromise

Brings a constant warning
It's gotta be love
It's gotta be love or nothing at all.

It's no good coming in the back seat
In the name of love

Sneaking out the back door
At the dead of night
'cause you're never gonna find out
What it's really like.

(enlightened woman)
She dances on the seven seas
Dances on the ocean
Sunlight on her golden hair
Shapes of pure emotion
Her voice is heard like
Crystal words across the sky
She moves just like an angel
She's the mistress of all time
Her sun pours down like liquid gold
To chase away the sorrows
Her clothes are like a million stars
Made of tears and rainbows
And all the while
Her senses smile into my life
She moves just like an angel
She's a mistress of all time
Just like the restless
To a mission bell
I must run to her
Meet her everywhere
As her music fills the universe
She leaves the dancing visions
Of her image on the water
And precious stones upon the shore
From every distant corner
Like diamonds in the light
They shine beyond the stars
She moves just like an angel
She's the mistress of all time
She dances on the seven seas
Dances on the ocean
Sunlight on her golden hair
Shapes of pure emotion
Her voice is heard like
Crystal words across the sky
She moves me like an angel
She's the mistress of all time
She moves me like an angel
A voice of pure emotion
Her tears are like a rainbow
<@#Uriah_Heep_Out_On_The_Street.txt#@>
Out on the street, dead on my feet
At the mercy of the stone-cold night
It's hard to compete
In a dead-end street
With frustration in your line of sight
Do you ever stop to think
Do you ever stop at all
Do you have the time to feel
And if you do
Do you know the feeling's real
Followed a sign that
Pointed the way
And I found myself
Right back at that start
I like to feel good
I've tried feeling sad
But I can't stand a broken heart
Don't wanna wait till my dyin' day
To realize
I guess I'm lucky in
A strange kinda way
'cause it's clear before my eyes
A gray cloud they say
Hides a surprise
But it rained until I lost my belief
Just close your eyes
We'll show you the way
But I believe I've lost my faith
One man speaks and one man does
While another soul wields the sword
I hear you all, but I still can't see
Just who it is
Who speaks the chosen word
<@#Uriah_Heep_Pacific_Highway.txt#@>
Tryin' to make it back
To my old home town
I've been driving since
The break of dawn
Got a feeling like a fever
Burning in my brain
When I see her
It'll be all gone
Pacific highway
Getting nearer now
And I feel like
The dream is coming true
Pacific highway
Getting closer now
I don't need directions
To find my way back to you
Take another turning
On the old creek road
Making sure I don't get lost
I'm hoping to hell
My taco's reading right
Get ahead no matter
What the cost
Tryin' to take it easy
On the old home stretch
But city limits come into sight
I'm getting ready for my Betty
God how I missed that girl
We're rock-n-rollin'
Through the night
I don't need directions
To find my way back to you
I only got five more miles, yeah
Only four more miles, yeah
I only got three miles, two miles
One mile to go
<@#Uriah_Heep_Poor_Little_Rich_Girl.txt#@>
You say you're gonna testify
Lie away, lie away
So you're gonna gun me down
Go ahead, fire away
You say you'll bring the curtain down
Turn around, walk away
You're gonna close this theater down
Go ahead, stop the play
Your money talks, you pull the strings
Someone waits, in the wings
You flick the switch, the dancer falls
You deal the cards, the dealer calls in your game
[Chorus]
Poor little rich girl
Your money talks, you pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns, we all have wings
You say you're gonna leave this town
Fly away, fly away
So you gonna shoot me down
Go ahead
Your money burns
Your money stings
Another script, left on the floor
Another face is shown the door in your game
[Chorus]
Poor little rich girl
Your money talks, you pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns, we all have wings
In the game, poor little rich girl
It's easy come, it's easy go
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
You lock the door, close the show

I'll go down fightin'
But rather be delightin'
All the people that come to see
The Devil's from Chicago
Now where the hell do they go
When we get in our limousines
'Cause we just want to be
Where it's all going on
But tell me what do you do
When it's over
And everyone who
Loved you is gone
They're gone
I said they're gone
You're our kind of people
You're the church
And we're the steeple
But we're all inside the hall
If we've got what you need
Then we'll give you the speed
To get up and have a ball
'Cause we just want to be
Where it's all going on
But tell me what do you do
When it's over
And everyone who
Loved you is gone
You're just another
Prima Donna of rock 'n' roll
So please let me know
When you want me to go
<@#Uriah_Heep_Prisoner.txt#@>
Time has come to say goodbye
To the broken memories
They're locked inside like prisoners
In a place that no-one sees
Stayed up late with a friend of mine
Southern comfort till dawn
We talked about the pains of love
Should've known from
The start you were wrong
I'm just a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner, I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you, out on you
Tired blood runs through my veins
But I can't get no sleep
You lock my heart
In these prison walls
This place I've got to leave
I'm a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner, I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you, out on you
The sky is gray, it's raining
Like the storm in my heart
There ain't no use explaining
'cause I'm leaving, leaving
Won't somebody set me free
Take me away from this misery
I get so lonely
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
Won't somebody set me free
Please, please, set me free

Searching every day
Looking every way
Trying to make a connection
To find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet
Who doesn't know
He is close to perfection
Choice is the question
Moonlight night
After moonlight night
Side by side
They will see us ride
But if they cared to look
Then they would see
It's our return to fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy
Can you understand
That in every man
There's a need to unwind
That's never been defined
Somewhere deep within
There's another being
You are somehow abusing
By the person you're using
Moonlight night
After moonlight night
Side by side
They will see us ride
But if they cared to look
Then they would see
It's just our return to fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy
Traveling faster than lightening
Closer than ever before
We can go on for you
And take you nearer to
The legend of mystery
From the beginning of time
Dreaming time dreaming
We can return to
The land of the good and the kind
Time dreaming time dreaming
Why don't you come to our party
And open your minds
In another place
There's a newer face
Like an unfinished painting
Your creator is waiting
The brush and pen describe
What it is inside
That will set your mind thinking
While the others are sinking
<@#Uriah_Heep_Shout_It_Out.txt#@>
She took me for a ride in her car
From the moment it started I knew
We wouldn't get far
That didn't matter it seemed
Though I knew it went schemed
And it was just like a dream
Oh, the joy of love was brand
That's when I heard
The little birds sing
The day I first met my love
Oh, the day I first met my love
Then we went walking in the park
Away with the day
Till the day became dawn
Man hand in hand with the son
Laughed at the rain
When it came along
Oh, the joy of love was brand
As well the birds
As well the stars would sing
The day I first met my love
Oh, the day I first met my love
Am I really standing here with you
Are you telling me you love me too
Will it grow
Can we let the world know
Put it about, shout it out
The day I first met my love
<@#Uriah_Heep_Spirit_Of_Freedom.txt#@>
(realizing the new world)
I know instinctively
When something is right
With no one there to save me
You came into my life
The words you whispered
Still echo in my mind
Forget about tomorrow
Forget about time
So good to be alive and touch
The spirit of freedom - in your soul
So good to breathe the air and
Feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life
There's no time at all
So good to see the truth and touch
The spirit of freedom
I never thought that
I could ever feel this way
To see the warmest sunlight
On a cold and rainy day
Dawn wakes the silence
And I know that I can't wait
To hear the words
I wanna say again and again
So good to be alive and touch
The spirit of freedom - in your soul
So good to breathe the air and
Feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life
There's no time at all
There's no time to waste in this life
There's no time at all
So good to be alive and touch
The spirit of freedom - in your soul
So good to breathe the air and
Feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life
There's no time at all
So good to be alive and touch
The spirit of freedom - in your soul
<@#Uriah_Heep_The_Magicians_Birthday.txt#@>
In the magic garden
Some were singing
Some were dancing
While the midnight moon
Shone brightly overhead
The stars so gaily glistened
And the sphinx in silence listened to
The magician tell of
Lives that he had led
Let the bells of freedom ring
Songs of love to Friday's king
Let's all go to
The magician's birthday
It's in a forest
But not so far away
Much to do
And so much to say
While we listened to
The orchid orchestra play
Happy Birthay to you
Happy Birthday to magician
Happy Birthday to you
Then at the dead of midnight
As we watched the dancing firelight
The air grew cold
And seemed to dull the flame
The fire died
The music faded
Filled with fear of death we waited
For now we knew
Some evil was to blame
I challenge you
I challenge you all
For all you own
And all you know
And by all the powers of darkness
I will steal what is mine
Surrender now or face my spite
I grant you it may be Friday night
But did you know this day
Also numbers thirteen
First I'll give you fire
I turn your fire into a sleepy stream
Yes, now I give you nightmares
From your horror I'll create a dream
You cannot fight me
For I have the sword of hate
But one thing you can't see
My answer is simply
An impenetrable fortress
Of love, love, love
The fear went as quickly as it came
The air was clear
The fire burned again
The flames leapt
The organ played
The swans sang
To greet the day
And then we knew that
Love will find love will find love

I gotta stay in the race
The die has been cast
That's the way I'm going
I tried to jump the river
That flows so fast
But it just keeps flowing
It's a hell of a journey
And I just can't wait
There's no way I can hide it
But it's a killer of a storm
And it looks like rain
I guess I've got to ride it
Sometimes I can't keep my feet on the ground
I can't let go
My world is spinning just like the speed of sound
I can't let go, it's all that I know
Ain't no question if you win or lose
Whether it's cold or rainy
Gotta find my place whatever I choose
Never Say if or maybe
And there's so many turns that I can see
In a world that I'm no stranger
I'm in the race and now I can't turn back
Survive in the face of danger
Sometimes I can't keep my feet on the ground
I can't let go
My world is spinning just like the speed of sound
I can't let go, it's all that I know
Sometimes I can't keep my feet on the ground
I can't go
My world is spinning just like the speed of sound
I can't let go, it's all that I know

From the way that you acted
To the way that I felt it
It wasn't worth my time
And now it's sad cause all I missed
Wasn't that good to begin with
And now I've started you begging
Saying things that you don't mean
It isn't worth my time
A line's a dime a million times
And I'm about to see all of them
Goodbye to you
You're taking up my time
You call my name when I wake up
To see things go your way
I'm coughing up my time
Each drag's a drop of blood a grain
A minute of my life
It's all I've got just to stay down
Why the fuck am I still down
I'm hoarding all that's mine
Each time I let just one slip by
I'm wasting what is mine
I'm about to see a million things
I thought I'd never see before and I
I'm about to do all the things I've dreamed of
And I don't even miss you at all
<@#Used_Buried_Myself_Alive.txt#@>
You almost always pick the best times
To drop the worst lines
You almost made me cry again this time
Another false alarm
Red flashing lights
Well this time I'm not going to watch myself die
I think I made it a game to play your game
And let myself cry
I buried myself alive on the inside
So I could shut you out
And let you go away for a long time
I guess it's okay I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back
You're gonna have to ask
I think the chain broke away
And I felt it the day that I had my own time
I took advantage of myself and felt fine
But it was worth the night
I caught an early flight and I made it home
I guess it's okay I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back
You're gonna have to ask
Nicer than that
Nicer than that
With my foot on your neck
I finally have you
Right where I want you
Right where I want you
Right where I want you
Right where I want you
I guess it's okay I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back
You're gonna have to ask
Nicer than that
I guess it's okay I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back
You're gonna have to ask
Nicer than that

Our voices still silence
The plans that we've made
The dead cannot hear
All the prayers that we beg
Is there a force without violence
Is there a catch with no hook
Believing the lies while they fix all the books
Things will never change
If we remain the same
Our hearts call us by name
These walls won't keep us safe
When they hold us back like barricades
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our heart
There's no price we won't pay
And we steal it back just to give it away
Its time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
When fear breaks the silence
The choice has been made
We're listening now to sounds from the grave
This brave opposition
Comes naturally
Being exactly who we're supposed to be
Things will never change
If we remain the same
Our hearts call us by name
These walls won't keep us safe
When they hold us back like barricades
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our heart
There's no price we won't pay
And we steal it back just to give it away
Its time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
We'll take what we're given
We'll pay for our freedom
We'll take what we're given
We'll pray for our freedom
We'll take what we're given
We'll pray for our freedom
We'll take what we're given
We'll pay for our freedom
These walls won't keep us safe
When they hold us back like barricades
It's time now to replace these walls
The walls around our heart
There's no price we won't pay
And we steal it back just to give it away
Its time now to replace these walls
The walls around our hearts
<@#Used_Hurt_No_One.txt#@>
I never meant to hurt no one
Nobody ever tore me down like you
I think you knew it all along
And now you'll never see my face again
I never meant to hurt nobody
And will I ever see the sun again?
I wonder where the guilt had gone
I think of what I have become
And still
I never meant to hurt nobody
Now I'm taking what is mine
Letting go of my mistakes
Build a fire from what I've learned
And watch it fade away
Because I have no heart to break
I cannot fake it like before
I thought that I could stay the same
And now I know that I'm not sure
I even love me anymore
I never meant to hurt no one
Sometimes you gotta look the other way
It never should've lasted so long
Ashamed you'll never see my face again
I never meant to hurt nobody
I know I'll never be the same again
Now taking back what I have done
I think of what I have become
And still
I never meant to hurt nobody
Now I'm taking what is mine
Letting go of my mistakes
Build a fire from what I've learned
And watch it fade away
Because I have no heart to break
I cannot fake it like before
I thought that I could stay the same
And now I know that I'm not sure
I even love me anymore
I never meant to hurt nobody
Nobody ever tore me down like you
I never meant to hurt no one
Now I'm taking what is mine
Letting go of my mistakes
Build a fire from what I've learned
And watch it fade away
Because I have no heart to break
I cannot fake it like before
I thought that I could stay the same
And now I know that I'm not sure
I even love me anymore

I gotta take this moment
Just to push you down
Spin you around with the foot on the back of your neck
Up on the curb with the pressure on your teeth
Your gonna take this!
Your gonna take this!
I watched the rain make a puddle to get you soaked
The swollen words crack coming out of your throat
A sticky time for the shallow believer
Not gonna take this!
Not gonna take this!
I swear your head is bigger than us all
Getting bigger
Go slit your own throat!
Slit your own throat!
You're more turned on than anyone could be by yourself
Go slit your own throat!
Slit your own throat!
Just like a tick like an itch in the back of your throat
You missed the beat while they're hanging on every note
You're gonna choke cause you swallowed a problem
Your gonna take this!
Your gonna take this!
I see the flood see the terror that gets you soaked
These kind of thoughts that you bleed I fuckin' already wrote
Its tragic times for the shallow believer
Your gonna take this!
Your gonna take this!
I swear your head is bigger than us all
Getting bigger
Go slit your own throat!
Slit your own throat!
You're more turned on than anyone could be by yourself
Go slit your own throat!
Slit your own throat!

There's a long and winding road that we have traveled
And the prize that waits for all who will prevail
There's a place for those who stand up tall in battle
Up against all odds determined not to fail
And when the moment comes you know that you'll be ready
To push yourself beyond where you have gone before
So write your name beside the very best in history
And take a bow before the crowd and hear them roar
Anything you can do this is from me to you
Just keep dreamin' keep on dreamin'
And if you really believe in time
You will make your dreams come true
Just keep dreamin' don't stop dreamin'
'Cause no one else can live your dream but you
So you rise above each hurdle you encounter
Let no obstacle before you slow your speed
For you possess a will to win that burns intensely
And win you will yes this will be your creed
And when the moment comes you know that you'll be ready
To push yourself much harder than you have done before
So write your name beside the very best in history
And take a bow before the crowd and hear them roar
Anything you can do this is from me to you
Just keep dreamin' keep on dreamin'
And if you really believe in time
You will make your dreams come true
Just keep dreamin' don't stop dreamin'
'Cause no one else can live your dream but you
(Usher)
And in the end with no regret
And in the end with no regret
You're given your all and nothin' less
You're given your all and nothin 'less
You know you've been the best that you can be
You know you've been the best that you can be
No one can say you didn't try
No one can say you didn't try
Go on and wave your banner high
Go on and wave your banner high
And savor that sweet taste of victory
And savor that sweet taste of victory
Dreamin' keep on dreamin'

<@#Usher_Final_Goodbye.txt#@>
It's time to say goodbye
It's over now
It's time to say goodbye
Is there a reason why our love could not last
I ask was it too strong for you to hold on pretty
Lady
I thought we had a master plan
But it takes a stronger man to walk away
Than to watch our love fade away
I often wonder how and why
I did not cheat I did not lie
I hope you know how hard I tried
But it's over for now
It's time to say goodbye
[Chorus]
I can't believe how suddenly things change
Yesterday we were in love but all I feel were
Heartaches
And pain
Day and night I tried deep inside to work things out
But in my heart I knew
I still had my doubts
I thought we made a symphony
It's over now no more harmony
I prayed so hard for love to fly (oh yeah)
It's time to say goodbye
Ooh bye bye bye bye bye
[Chorus]
Sorry I gotta leave
Baby I'm beggin' please
Ooh yeah yeah yeah
Bye bye bye bye
[Chorus]
<@#Usher_I_Dont_Know.txt#@>
Check this out, yeah, yeah
All my niggas take a walk with me
You ain't gotta holla, you can talk with me
Just try to learn where my thoughts can be
And how I stack figures
Learn why I'm real, still that nigga
I get money I ain't gotta do a crime
Shit I hit dimes, what I need with a nine
Before y'all judge me, be clear
We got nothing but heat here, beware we here
What's my name, got chicks twisted like
What's my game?
Pimp things still the same
I smash it, I don't harass it
Ma' I'm a baller I score and pass it
Feel me, still be filthy
If making hits is a crime, I plead guilty
And this is what we came do
Party, Diddy, Usher, game is through, come on
It's right around eleven o'clock
One of your girls just called
Asked you how you look, are you ready?
You tell her you look hot
Not to worry at all
Niggas will be shook, y'all doin' it heavy
She's telling you she might change
But you tell her not to
She know that she looks stunning
It'll be fine
The club will be full of game
But none of that has got'chu
Me, I think you're running
'Cause I'm the one
I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh
I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh
You're probably thinking to yourself
What's the occasion?
And believe me girl I don't do sex for fun
The perfect gentleman in every situation
And the only thing that's missing - is the one
Is it you?
I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh
I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh
Sing it
(La, la, la, la)
Ghetto girls
(La, la, la, la)
Suburban girls
(La, la, la, la)
International girls, smell me?

(La, la, la, la)
Ghetto girls
(La, la, la, la)
Suburban girls
(La, la, la, la)
International girls, smell me?
(La, la, la, la, la)
Had to take the time
To open up your mind
That's exactly what you are open
Look at the memorizing grind
She should be a crime
Damn baby you're a star
You're smoking
You're probably thinking to yourself
What's the occasion?
And believe me girl I don't do sex for fun
The perfect gentleman in every situation
And the only thing that's missing, is the one
Is it you?
I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight
But I came to party, oh

It's real serious
You're so fine girl
At the end of the day, I'm going home with you
I don't know what you came to do girl
What you came to do tonight

<@#Usher_Lessons_For_The_Lover.txt#@>
Turn the lights on
How could someone hurt you but still make you feel so good?
Holler, scream and curse you and you stand there and let them do it
Just cause he gives you pain, that don't mean he ain't the one
Fuck you out your brain you'll be smiling when he's done
So my advice would be no don't leave, don't go so easy, no
Let that argument turn you on
It's worth it
And these are the lessons learned by lovers

Cut me, cut me with your tongue then love me when it?s over
You don't even know just how you much you taunt me
Taunting and provoking, keep words unspoken
Pandora?s box is open
Blame brings pain, accusations seal these walls
Walls built up to shield from pain
Pain of finding fault, revolving back to pain
And we need to stop
Just like a revolver babe, just like a revolver
(It goes around)
Just like a revolver babe, but I'd rather resolve it babe
Just like a revolver babe, just like a revolver
(It goes around)
Just like a revolver babe, but we gotta resolve it babe
Piercing, piercing with my actions, spitefully ignore you
I don't even care just how much you take
Bitten and it?s potent, you hate it and I know it
Pandora?s box is open
Blame brings pain, accusations seal these walls
Walls built up to shield from pain
Pain of finding fault, revolving back to pain
And we need to stop
Just like a revolver babe, just like a revolver
(It goes around)
Just like a revolver babe, but I'd rather resolve it babe
Just like a revolver babe, just like a revolver
(It goes around)
Just like a revolver babe, but we gotta resolve it babe
These walls get high baby
These walls get high baby
These walls get high baby
It won't ever come down
These walls get high baby
These walls get high baby
These walls get high baby
It won't ever come down
Round and round like the game roulette
Step on up kid and place your bet
Round and round is the route we choose
Play that game man, we all gonna lose
Just like a revolver babe, just like a revolver
(It goes around)
Just like a revolver babe, but I'd rather resolve it babe
Just like a revolver babe, just like a revolver
(It goes around)
Just like a revolver babe, but we gotta resolve it babe

I was all alone
I was feeling rather low
I needed someone to lift my spirits up
So I dropped in on a dance
Just to take a glance
And there this lovely thing was
She was more than enough
I asked her for her hand
Said would you like to dance
So pleased that I had asked
She quickly took my hand
And we danced and fell in love
On a slow jam
Ohh
[Chorus]
Play another slow jam
This time make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Play another slow jam
This time make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Seems what you say is true
I feel the same way too
You see I've waited all night long just to dance with you
And when you touched my hand
I knew you were the man
To turn my world around
And make my dreams come true
The magic in your eyes, made me realize
That everything I feel, has got to be real
And we danced and fell in love
On a slow jam
[Chorus]
I'm trying to find someone who
I can give my good lovin' to
Never, ever did I dream I'd find someone, yeah
Now I've been to find someone too
I prayed to heaven, and then I found you
I swear I fell in love the night you danced into my heart
Play another slow jam
This time make it sweet
On a slow jam
Can I get a slow jam
Do you want to slow jam, baby
Play another slow jam
This time make it sweet
Can I get a slow jam
Play another slow jam
Are you gonna slow jam

Been through hell, now I'm hell proof
Pouring cups of whiskey to get through it
Oh sweet child of mine, gone way too soon
Lost myself and lost my faith too
[Hook]
I've had my share of ups and downs
I've had my share of down and outs
Baptized in a river and almost drowned
Thats when I figured out
I'm stronger than ever now, stronger than ever now
I'm stronger than ever now, stronger than ever now
Stronger than ever now
Ohh

Walk through fire now I'm fireproof
Forever wear these scars like tattoos
Finally found paradise right in my view
And its killing me that I can't share it with you

I've had my share of ups and downs

[Verse]
Though you're gone you still live in my mind
The only thing we ran out of is time
Since you left I ain't been quite the same
I wonder if you miss me, do I make you proud
Know you're watching me, I feel your spirit
I keep you right by my side
I'm stronger than ever now, far from perfect
Life will knock you down, get back up
Fight for whats worth it
Be strong enough, I know its easier said than done
[Bridge]
Stronger than ever now
I been through it, now stronger
Stronger now, hey stronger now
All that I been through some how I found my way out
Long as I believe in me, I know I can make it
I know you'll make it, cause you're stronger
Stronger than ever now
Stronger

This is for you, you, my number one
This is for you, you, my number one
This is for you, you, my number one
Spotlights, big stage
Fifty thousand fans screamin' in a rage
Bodyguards and limousines
This is the way I see you in my dreams
Paparazzi flash, hundred pictures all of you
Hangin' on my bedroom wall
I'm a kid again, I feel like thirteen
But I knew since we fell in love
Girl I'd be
[Chorus]
I'll be your groupie baby
'Cause you are my superstar
I'm your number one fan, give me your autograph
Sign it right here on my heart
Girl I'll be your groupie baby
'Cause you are my superstar
And as your number one fan
I'll do all that I can
To show you how super you are
Front row, there I am
Jumpin' and hollerin' waving both hands
Would you notice me, it'll be
Drove twelve hours girl just to see
Your pretty face one more time
Bought my ticket I was first in line
This is a metaphor to show how I adore
(I adore you)
Baby I do
[Chorus]
Now you know how I feel
You're truly special
Your love is legendary to me
Without you my life stands still
I'll never leave your world
Treat you like a diva girl
Girl you're one of a kind
'Cause they don't make 'em like you anymore
So you'll be your fans life
I dedicate this to my superstar for all time
[Chorus]
<@#Usher_Will_Work_For_Love.txt#@>
Can you help me?
Anybody out there help me
Please can you help me?
Excuse me mister, I fell on hard times, I need some help
But don't need a dime, don't earn a way, I'll wash your clothes
If you let me stay, find your revoke,
[Chorus]
Day after day, people walk by, I can't catch their eyes
I Pull out my sign,
It says:
Will work for love
I will, I will, I will
I'll work for love, overtime
Baby, it says will work for love
I will, I will, I will
I'll work for love, for all my life
I will work for love
Can you help me? (help me)
Anybody out there help me (does anybody out there)
Please can you help me?
Excuse me you two, got love to spare?
Search my whole heart, it ain't none in there
Pardon me sister, I'm on my last
Don't have no love, that's OK, God bless
[Chorus]
It says:
Will work for love
I will, I will, I will
I'll work for love, overtime
Baby, it says will work for love
I will, I will, I will
I'll work for love, for all my life
I will work for love
I remember the day I lost my heart (hey yeah)
Took it for granted I went too far
Fall down, cried, and then begged, to feel that love again
I hold on this sign till the very end
Do anything
I will, I will, I will
I'll work for love, overtime
Baby, it says will work for love
I will, I will, I will
I'll work for love, for all my life
I will work for love

Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
It's the middle of the night, 3 am, I'm waiting
For the cell phone by my bed to ring, I'm acting like a fool
The alarm on my clock rings, just like a fairy tale
Even if I find the glass slipper, it'll be no good
If it's too much trouble for you to care, then let me know soon
Even I don't have that much time
I'm movin' on without you
I can't pretend anymore
That I don't know about your stupid alibis
We didn't always have these kind of memories
It shouldn't have been painful
Why?
Maybe it was to soon to play a good girl
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
The lines I planned to say were perfect
But I still can't get through, it's 4 am
When the night's too quiet, my thoughts get restless
I understand, but I still can't get enough sleep
I've forgotten that promise
I'll give you back your ring, so give me back my heart
I have to go on without you
It's hard, so I'll be the one to break up
It's not good playing a good girl
It shouldn't have been painful
Why?
Maybe it was to soon to play a good girl
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
Even if it's confusing, I want to be loved
Without saying it, I want you to understand
It shouldn't have been painful
Why?
Maybe it was to soon to play a good girl
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
<@#Utada_Hikaru_Taking_My_Money_Back.txt#@>
Boy you make it hard, you make it hard to leave
Boy you make it hard, you're no good for me
Everyday, every night, you were out, with your boys
Getting high
While I worked hard to pay the rent
And my girls said I should lose you but I stuck with you
'Cause you promised to change
What I gave, you took, nothing came in return
But I, I kept on giving baby
'Cause the sex was so good, and your talk was so smooth
That I, I guess I bought it baby
Now I finally see you were using me
And I'm taking my money, my money, my money back
Get down on your knees, begging me not to leave
But I'm taking my money, my money, my money back
I'm singing ooh ooh ooh, and ah ah ah
You know I really loved you boy
Ooh ooh ooh, and ah ah ah
What a waste of a man so fine
What about, out about all your fooling around
While I, I had to cry about it
Then you said you're sorry and you loved me only
I should have left you right then
Now I finally see you were using me
And I'm taking my money, my money, my money back
Get down on your knees, begging me not to leave
But I'm taking my money, my money, my money back
I'm singing ooh ooh ooh, and ah ah ah
You know I really loved you boy
Ooh ooh ooh, and ah ah ah
What a waste of a man so fine
Ooh ooh ooh, and ah ah ah
Give me back my heart, give me back my time
Ooh ooh ooh, and ah ah ah
What a waste of a woman so fine
Now I finally see you were using me
And I'm taking my money, my money, my money back
Get down on your knees, begging me not to leave
But I'm taking my money, my money, my money back
Ooh ooh ooh, and ah ah ah
Give me back my heart, give me back my time
Ooh ooh ooh, and ah ah ah
What a waste of a woman so fine

<@#Utopia_Back_On_The_Street.txt#@>
They tell me I've paid back the debt I owed
Forty-four months since the slammer door closed
They give me a suit and put me back on the road
And my thoughts are racing
Where do I go? What am I supposed to live on?
What happens when the twenty-five dollars is gone?
That leaves me lots of time to wonder why I was born
But the countdown is on
Everybody's dancing
The music sounds entrancing
But you can't find the beat
It's the ticking of a thousand human time bombs
Who are back on the street
Oh the names have been changed
But the story's the same
History will repeat
Add it all up and then divide it by zero
'Cause you're back on the street
I can't stand the strain of this job no more
I must have forgot what I took it on for
I make lots of money, yet still I want more
And my head is blazing
I think that I'll check out the shops downtown
Sometimes it helps to buy things when I feel brought down
At this hour I might dodge those hippie low-life's around
But the countdown is on
Once you had to stand out
Looking for a handout
Free love and body heat
And that money's just a crumpled green be
When you're back on the street
Back on the street again
Said you're back on the street again
The countdown is on
And nobody knows when
Spreading like a cancer
Looking for the answer
In everyone you meet
And each in his way has a hustle to play
When he's back on the street

<@#Utopia_Forgotten_But_Not_Gone.txt#@>
She's been good to me
She's been as kind as a girl can be
But I get the feeling
She thinks that certain something is gone
It's the little things
Like the words to the songs she sings
Are a little different
And I can tell that I'm not the one
It's just a matter of time
Forgotten but not gone
I'm the invisible guy
Forgotten but not gone
It was my mistake
'cause I gave less than I could take
And I never noticed
She wanted something I didn't have
And my roving eye
Drove her off to another guy
Now she doesn't see that
To keep from crying I've got to laugh
And it's so hard to believe
When I call her she turns away
Like she don't see me at all
And it's so hard to believe
All that water under the bridge
Don't count for nothing at all
It's the same old line
Out of sight and you're out of mind
But I never thought that
I'd see the day when she didn't care
But the joke's on me
I came home yesterday to see
Them in bed together
And making love like I wasn't there
It was a matter of time
Forgotten but not gone
I could have rolled up an died
Forgotten but not gone
I'm the invisible guy
Forgotten but not gone
<@#Utopia_Heavy_Metal_Kids.txt#@>
It's like a normal Times Square day on 42nd Street
I feel like trashing some windows and crunching some feet
I watch society crumble and I just laugh (hee hee)
They soon will see what it's like to be the other half
But I'm trying
Said I'm trying to forget
And it ain't happened yet
I must of woke up this morning with a bug up my ass
I think I'll just haul off and belt the next jerk that I pass
My old man says I'm just a stoned little punk
But he keeps himself a pistol and he's always drunk
I know
Something's gonna give
Pretty soon
I know it
Something's gonna give
I want to live
I want to mess thing whole world around
Go on and poison all the water, use up all the air
Blow your stupid heads off, see if I could care
Put me down but don't blame me for what you did
'Cause inside everyone is a heavy metal kid
I was a sweet little kid once
Now I'm a full grown crank
And when I die I'll probably come back as a Sherman tank
I know that I could make this world so peaceful and calm
If I could only get my hands on a hydrogen bomb

Lysistrata, open up the bedroom door
What is the matter, ain't you in love with me no more?
I enlisted in the army today,
One more time before I march away
Make me feel like a big strong man
You say you don't care about my pride,
You love me too much just to let me die,
And you won't let me come inside
Unless I don't go to war no more
Lysistrata, little boys like to have their fun,
And you know I gotta put on my colors and get my gun
Every able bodied man that I know,
Every patriot is packed to go
Won't you give me a last goodbye
I'll be sent off to a distant land,
To spill my blood upon some foreign sand,
And I may die by an enemy's hand
And then I won't go to war no more
Send the boys all back to the farm
Tell the troops it was a false alarm,
'Cause if I die I want to be in your arms,
And so I won't go to war, no I won't go to war,
Said I won't go to war no more
<@#Utopia_My_Angel.txt#@>
Walk the line
It's not easy
I must stand alone
It's the kind of a life I've chosen
Right or wrong
I can feel
Near me always
Something to live up to
Someone to depend upon
When I have fallen from grace
When I grow weak from the pace
I can feel the breath of gentle wings on my face
And when the world closes in around me
Then my angel
Will come and roll away the stone
Like a hand reaching down from the heavens
And when the darkness falls all around me
Then my angel
Will come and draw aside the veil
I am safe in the arms of my angel
Anywhere
Anytime
In my mind I know
That a pair of sweet eyes is watching me
Wherever I go
Is it real?
Am I dreaming?
Sometimes I don't know
But I want to believe it's so
Let me dream on
Is it profane or divine
Am I insane? I feel fine
I can close my eyes but I still see it shine
<@#Utopia_Neck_On_Up.txt#@>
I gave the girls the eye
I've given lust a try
I'm just an average guy
From the neck on down
I used to have my fun
When all was said and done
I only wanted someone
From the neck on down
Maybe it's one too many mornings after
Maybe I'm sick of my own nervous laughter
Now I'm looking for heaven
From the neck on up
For a perfect eleven
From the neck on up
I was a typical man
I had a master plan
I thought that heaven began
From the waist on down
And I had always said
That I could use my head
But I was thinking instead
From the waist on down
Maybe it's one too many frozen shoulders or
Maybe I haven't noticed getting older
Trapped in a dream
Something has to change in this endless stream
Of ships that pass in the night
Is this what I want out of life?
I want to know what this game is about
I want someone to try and figure me out
I can't determine why
But I'm a different guy
Your modus operandi
Turned me inside out
It's not that I don't care
About your fine hardware
But you've got something else there
I can't figure out
Maybe I just can't finish what I've started or
Maybe it's simply that I've been outsmarted
Now I've found my heaven
From the neck on up
You're a perfect eleven
From the neck on up

Try to face the fact that I ain't that young no more
Hair's short again and a suit is in,
Better brush up on how to tie a Windsor knot
Swing to the right
Credit's hard to find and a dollar doesn't go so far
What's more important when the count comes in
A sell-out who's alive or a corpse that can't be bought?
Stop the hand of time
Think I see a sign
Tables turning 'round
Hear a different sound
Stop the hands of time
Looking out for mine
Swing to the right
Don't want to hear what the povertous expect from me
Let 'em eat cake if they feel that way
I gotta work why should I have to pay for that?
And I don't want to be left holding the bag for them
'Scuze me for living but I have to say,
I've got some worries of my own, like staying fat

You can lead a horse to water
You can lead a lamb to slaughter, oh yeah

If you want my heart then it's yours
My heart is my own,
You can wrap it up and take it home
If I take you for my lover
You might break my heart all over, oooh yeah
I can't stand to leave romances
When you fall you take your chances
But I don't care now 'cause I'm free born
If you want my heart then it's yours

I blink my eyes and then it happens again
I lose my way but I discover a friend
It's a typical day on the road to utopia
I walk along until my feet are sore
I rest a minute then I walk some more
There's no time to delay on the road to utopia
And my destination is the unknown
But I'm never far away from my home
It shines like laser light
It's in my dreams at night
'cause I've been all my life
On the road to utopia
I will be there to share your tragedy
I know that you would do the same for me
It's no trouble at all on the road to utopia
When day is over and I'm trying to sleep
It comes so easy 'cause I'm not counting sheep
I am counting the smiles on the road to utopia
And I may lose my way again and again
But I'll cross that borderline in the end
Trouble trouble trouble whirling all about
But if we stick together we can stick it out
Will we ever find the loves we lost again
Does this crazy journey ever have an end
And will I find what I'm after
Do I know what I'm after
Guess I'll join in the laughter
On the road to utopia
<@#Utopia_The_Up.txt#@>
I can't stand to watch the six o'clock news
It's enough to give an average, sensitive person the blues
Can't get it up
I don't know about commercial appeal
But what you put in your head
Just can't help affect how you
So lets keep it up
Prophets of doom try to capture you
They get around like the Asian flu
But they can't get me
Because I go for the up
I'm on the up side
I look for the up (That down just ain't my style)
I go for the up
I'm hooked on the up
I'm on the upswing (I got my sights set high)
I go for the up
What's the point of standing out in the rain
What's the sense of looking down
It just gives your shoulders a pain
Can't get it up
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy
If you look for the worst then that's just
What it turns out to be
So keep looking up
The fickle finger just may point your way
It touches someone different every day
But it can't touch me
Because I go for the up
And everybody's yelling at me to get back in line
And they say I'm crazy
But still they have their sessions of deep depressions
But it can't get me
Because I go for the up
<@#Utopia_Welcome_To_My_Revolution.txt#@>
There's too much music, too much light
These endless broadcasts into the night
Petty seizures of money and drugs
By some official or unauthorized thugs
Now it's gone, the whole world's gone
There's the army at the front door, guerrillas in back
Why do I always have to take up sides
I had no plans to be conscripted today
I am no use to them anyway
So what the hell's going on
When they took my bed for the good of the state
I had to rest my head and took to levitation
Welcome to my revolution
Every morning they confer with the press
Just to point a few fingers
Fix the blame for this mess
The spokesmen waffle and the jerk-offs complain
In a stream of rhetoric
Piss themselves down the drain
Then it's time to go home
Time to go home
What will they say when it's gone
The whole world's gone
So they call a cease fire to bury the dead
And just delay it for an hour or so
Loose talk of cowards and leaders that lied
What does it matter once we're vaporized
Say what the hell's going on
Then it got so bad I couldn't breathe the air
So I became my own church and begged for sanctuary
Welcome to my revolution
This is the dream that I have every night
I wake up screaming t
Is this my vision of the end of the world
The faces looked smoldered, the edges are curled
Tell me what is the reason we can't look at ourselves
And realize everybody creates his own hell
And if we put it together to make them all real
And then forget how to think, forget how to feel
Until it's gone, the whole world's gone
Are we damned if we do and damned if we don't
Could we be suckered into thinking that
Or get too greedy, afraid of the loss
And wind up fighting for a worthless cause
What if we died and had to come back
How may times would we have to go 'round
What if tomorrow was the end of the line
Don't want to feel like I wasted my time
So what the hell's going on
When the noise gets so dense
you can't hear yourself think
We got the spirit world on a telephone link
So welcome to my revolution

Mommy told me she has everything I want
Mommy told me that I should not worry 'bout nothing else
Mommy told me that I can't do what I want
Mommy told me
But she's only thinking about herself

I'm thinking about myself
Time to leave and it's just as well
'Cause I can't help thinking there's something else

So I told he that I must have something more than she offered
And she should not worry about my health
I'm a big boy, not her little boy no more
I'm a big boy and I must learn how to protect myself
Hold my own when they give me hell
She can worry about herself
Tiny eagles must leave their nest
Wild horses withstand the test
Old lovers become estranged
Little boys who can't help but change
Could be nothing but who can tell
<@#Van_Der_Graaf_Generator_Childlike_Faith_In_Childhoods_End.txt#@>
Existence is a stage on which we pass
a sleepwalk trick for mind and heart:
it's hopeless, I know,
but onward I must go
and try to make a start
at seeing something more than day to day
survival, chased by final death
if I believed this the sum
of the life to which we've come,
I wouldn't waste my breath
Somehow, there must be more. There was a time
when more was felt than known
but now, entrenched inside my sett,
in light more mundane,
thought rattles round my brain:
we live, we die...and yet?
In the beginning there was order and destiny
but now that path has reached the border,
and on our knees
is no way to face the future, whatever it be.
Though the forces which hold us in place
last through eons in unruffled grace
we, too, wear the face of creation.
As anti-matter sucks and pulses periodically
the bud unfolds, the bloom is dead,
all space is living history.
It seems as though time must betray us,
yet we're alive
and though I see no God to save us,
yetl we survive
through the centuries of progress
which don't get us very far.
All illusion! All is bogus -
we don't yet know what we are...
Laughing, hoping, praying, joking, Son of Man!
with lowered eyes but lifting hearts,
we're grains of sand
and though, in time, the sea
may claim us for its own
we are the rocks which root the future -
on us it grows!
We might not be there to share it
if eternity's a jest
but I think that I can bear it
if the next life is the best.
Even if there is a heaven when we die,
endless bliss would be as meaningless as the lie
that always comes as answer to the question,
"Why do we see through the eyes of creation?"
Adrift without a course,
it's very lonely here,
our only conjecture
what lies behind the dark.
Still, I find I can cling to a lifeline,
think of a lifetime which means more
than my own one -
dreams of a grander thing than we are.
Time and Space hang heavy on my shoulders:
when all life is over who can say
no mutated force shall remain?
Though the towers of the city are denied
to we men of clay
still we know we shall scale
the heights some day.
Frightened in the silence -
frightened, but thinking very hard,
let us make computations of the stars.
Older, wiser, sadder, blinder, watch us run:
faster, longer, harder, stronger, now it comes:
colour blisters, image splinters gravitate
towards the centre, in final splendour disintegrate,
The universe now beckons
and Man, too, must take His place...
just a few last fleeting seconds
to wander in the waste,
and the children who were ourselves move on,
reincarnation stills its now perfected song,
and at last we are free of the bonds of creation.
All the jokers and gaolers, all the junkies
and slavers too,
all the throng who have danced a merry tune -
human we can all be,
but Humanity we must rise above,
in the name of all faith and hope and love.
There's a time for all pilgrims,
and a time for the fakers too,
there's a time when we all will stand alone
and nude,
naked to the galaxies -
naked, but clothed in the overview...
as we reach Childhood's End we must start anew.
And though dark is the highway,
and the peak's distance breaks my heart,
for I never shall see it, still I play my part,
believing that what waits for us
is the cosmos compared to the dust of the past...
In the death of mere humans life shall start

I don't care about the way that ya treated me
And I ain't crying 'bout the love I'm paying for
No, I ain't bitching 'bout the things
You putting down here in the street
No, I ain't going 'round saying things
About you I can't repeat
Hey it ain't gonna change overnight
No, and it ain't going away without a fight
No, now I ain't saying that I'm never gonna beg you, oh baby come back
But right now, baby
I don't really want to see your face
Yeah and that's a fact
Right now, honey
All I know is what I'm feeling inside
Right now, honey
I'm alone and I'm swallowing a lot
Of pride
And it ain't gonna change
Overnight, no
And it ain't goin' away without
A fight
Living with the aftershock
Why, why, why, I never thought
She'd walk
But now I'm living with the
Aftershock
And it ain't gonna change
It ain't goin' away, no
Yeah, she opened up my eyes
Seeing what I want to see
She kinda took me by surprise
Showed me what I hadn't seen
Yeah, yeah
Living with the aftershock
Yeah, yeah living with the aftershock
My, my, my, I guess that I never
Thought she'd walk
Living with the aftershock
And it ain't gonna change
It ain't goin' away
I said it ain't gonna change without
A fight
I'm living with the aftershock
I'm living with the aftershock
Never gonna change

Give me liberty or give me death
No truer words have ever been said
Well are you prepared for your very last breath?
Don't you dare start what you cannot finish
So when we face, face the adversary
No longer are we the minority
And when history repeats her hour
The pendulum will swing, swing into power
Though not in vain like our forefathers
Freedom, never had no room for cowards
For in the end, there will be equality
By any means necessary
The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand
What's it gonna take to liberate?
An emancipation, a false proclamation?
All these token words that you legislate
Sound a little bit absurd. Hey! And a little too late
When a house is divided, it just will not stand
Once it's decided, a line drawn in the sand
Ah! The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand
The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen can be

Held, held by the same hand!

Wash it out with soap. Yeah!
Tongue tied in a tangled web
Your bile inside better left unsaid

Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside

Whisper in my ear, rest assured that

For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
Just to love you
From afar
If I cannot kiss you from afar
Press against your lips, taste the sweetness
Of your breath
If I cannot touch you from afar
Hold you in my arms, keep you warm and
Safe from harm
Though our circumstances
Cause separation
In the absence, there's a presence in my heart
I will surrender, I'll surrender to my
Quiet contemplation

I'll just, I'll just love you
From afar
There must be a better way (ooo-oooh)
A better way (ooo-oooh) of, of passing the time

You'l lose her in the turn

A little low on cash

I wanna be your knight
In shining pick-up truck
With a Chevy for my summer home
Let's get the party started
It's looking like the city towed
My other apartment
She got a doorbell sign that said
Bring it or don't ring it
She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman
Fate is my pimp
But she was cool
Said if you're doin' business with me, honey
What does that make you?
Some Casablanca gin joint
You're a nervous wreck

Her thunder thong around your neck
The song ain't dirty
It's really just the way we sing it (sing it)
She's the woman (sing it)
She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman
She wanted something to regret
Tomorrow morning
This suburban garage-a-trois
Was worth exploring
Yeah dreams come true
But it remains to be seen
By the time mine usually do
It's no longer me!

You better bring it, or don't ring it

How about a nine on a ten scale
With long legs straight on up to her lunch pail
Sweet little wishbone, oh yeah
Don't want to break her in half
Lick up one side and down the other
Always makes her laugh
She take me down, down, down to the bottom
I got everything you wanted
Give you everything you need
Still you want that sugar daddy over me
She want a sucker, sucker in a 3 piece
A sucker all dressed up in a 3 piece suit
I'm on fire with just one look
Got me a brand new number
In my little black book
But she don't like the way I dress
She don't like the way I wear my hair
But when I roll you over baby, you don't care
Just take me down, down, down, down to the bottom
Give me everything I want
Give me everything I want
You don't want that sugar daddy, not over me
She want a sucker, sucker in a 3 piece
A sucker all dressed up in a 3 piece suit
Oh say it isn't so, baby
You want to sucker
He just a sucker

Look at all that money, baby
Ya know your sugar daddy
You're a sugar mama
You're both a bunch of suckers
Oh how he got a big ole belly

Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.

Well, that liquor in the nighttime leaves strange memories.
Seems a lifetime since yesterday.
Come the daybreak, come the morrow,
That woman's waited up all night for me again.
She said: Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, you know that you're headed for a lot of trouble.
If you take your whiskey home.
Some goes to women, some goes to Jesus,
Though I'm absolutely certain both's all right.
But it takes me at least halfway to the label
'Fore I can even make it through the night.
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.

There's a voice cryin' out in the wilderness
All your trails have not been in vain
And you're doin' the best you know how to do
Gaining strength in the things that remain
You're part of the plan
For a new kind of man, to come through
There's an angel that's watching right over you
All your trials have not been in vain
Won't you lift your head up to the starry night
Finding strength in the things that remain
You're part of the plan
For a new kind of man, to come through
When a man comes through
He must do what he's supposed to do
When a man comes through.
He can't do what everyone expects him
Won't you lift your head up to the mountain top
All your trials have not been in vain
There's a light that keeps shining up ahead of you
Every step of the way that you take
It's part of the plan
For a new kind of man

For a new kind of man, to come through

For a new kind of man

Yet the storyline, in paragraphs,
Laid down the same
In fathoms of my inner mind
I'm mystified, oh, by this mood
This melancholy feeling
That just don't do no good
Come here my love
And I will lift my spirits high for you
I'd like to fly away and spend a day or two
Just contemplating the fields and leaves
And talking about nothing
Just layin' down in shades of effervescent, effervescent odors
And shades of time and tide
And flowing through
Become enraptured by the sights and sounds
In intrigue of nature's beauty
Come along with me
And take it all in
Come here my love

Sitting round what's the use what to think
Well I've got some consolation
Give it to you if I might
You know I don't worry about a thing because
Nothing's gonna turn out right
Well this world's just one big troubled spot
Some have plenty, some have not
I've used to be troubled but
I finally saw the light
Now I don't worry about a thing because I know
Nothing's gonna be alright

There's always somebody messing with dynamite
You know I don't worry about a thing because I know

<@#Van_Morrison_For_Mr._Thomas.txt#@>
From faded newsprint used to wrap a fish
Inscrutably the muse selects your face
As I sit drinking famously in an Irish bar
Five thousand miles and thirty years away
With the usual ceremonial you were crowned one night
King of the field where doctors nail the cows
To make of the cock's quill the rights of language
And the pricking heart a sword against the hours
Let smirking scholars writhe in their favorite bondage
And hold you plaintiff to the charge of art
Exhibit A: he falls on legendary lines
Singing mother I don't want a pain here in my heart
The judge in me sucks eggs and jerks the sacred meat
But the boy in me still dreams in Milk Wood town
Like two provincial bastards playing the galleries
I hold your photo to a mirror upside down
And as bacon wafts through hungry streets, your ghost pervades
Just like an old ex-boxer aged twenty two
Staged-up like Falstaff or the wild welsh Rimbaud
You'd laugh to see the monograms they make of you
Ah, Mr. Thomas let us ramble through the midnight fair
Let us throw old bottles at the Ferris wheel
Let us paint library on the library let us raid the moonlight
Let us steal whatever we are supposed to steal
Let us watch while the days grow daily more mundane
That rough God go riding with his shears
Hack wide the belly of the swollen mountains
And rip molten heroes forth from their furious tears
Oh, Mr. Thomas, oh, Mr. Thomas,
Let us steal whatever we're supposed to steal
Mr. Thomas, oh, Mr. Thomas,
Why don't we feel whatever we're supposed to feel
Oh, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Thomas,
Why don't we feel whatever we're supposed to feel
Oh, Mr. Thomas let us ramble through the midnight
Let us throw bottles at the Ferris wheel
Let us paint library on the library let us raid the moonlight
Let us steal whatever we're supposed to steal
<@#Van_Morrison_Give_Me_A_Kiss.txt#@>
Baby just one sweet kiss,
Honey from your sweet lips
Baby just one sweet kiss,
Honey from your sweet lips
That's all I want, that's all I need
I'm satisfied
Baby just one of your smiles
You know makes it all worthwhile
Baby just one of your smiles
You know makes it all worthwhile
We could go walking down the lane
Together hand in hand
But if you think
That it's gonna rain
We'll stay at home
And listen to the band
Baby just one sweet kiss
Honey from your sweet lips
Baby just one of your smiles
You know makes it all worthwhile
That's all I want, that's all I need
I'm satisfied.
<@#Van_Morrison_How_Can_A_Poor_Boy.txt#@>
Had my congregation, had my flock
When I was a shepherd of men
Chased the wild goose, chased the pot of gold
Chased the rainbows end
How can a poor boy deliver this message to you?
How can a poor boy? You don't believe anything that's true
Had my rise, had my downfall
Now I'm gonna rise up again
Had my degrees, my initiations
Not speaking to the profane
How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy when you don't believe a thing that's true?
I've been anointed, been appointed
Even been magnified
Spied a chapel all of gold
The priest was laying down with the swine
How can a poor boy get a little message to you?
How can a poor boy when you don't believe anything is true?
How can a poor boy get this message through to you?
How can a poor boy when you don't believe a single thing is true?
Watch the illusion of false security
Play of the shadows that move
Tell me what evil lurks in the hearts of men
Only the shadow knows
How can a poor boy get this message to you?
How can a poor boy when you don't believe a thing that's true, for you
When you don't believe a thing, nothing that's true for you
How can a poor boy ever get next to you?

Oh, I believe to my soul
Tryin' to make a fool out of me

Oh, goin' 'round here wit' yo' head so hard, huh

Whoa-oh, I believe to my soul

<@#Vanessa_Williams_Constantly.txt#@>
I knew it was there
Though I tried to hide it
The feeling just kept on shining through
Haven't known you that long
So I try to deny it
But the feeling was much too much too strong
Could this be love
Deep down inside
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart
Constantly, you're on my mind
Thinking about you all the time
I can't sleep no matter what I do
I just keep on thinking 'bout you
Why do I feel this way
When I know you have someone
That you're seeing each and every day
Should I play this game
Of just being your friend
When I know that's not where I want it to end
How could this be wrong
When the feeling's so strong
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart
Constantly, you're on my mind
Thinking about you all the time
I can't sleep no matter what I do
I just keep on thinking 'bout you
Constantly, you're on my mind
Thinking about you all the time
I can't sleep no matter what I do
I just keep on thinking 'bout you
No I don't want to start no trouble
Between you and I and your lover
But I must tell you what I'm going through
Everytime you walk by I see love in your eyes
<@#Vanessa_Williams_Long_Way_Home.txt#@>
It's hard to say from where you stand
Exactly when it all began
But someplace there's a point you cross the line
You see the tears than stain your face
Mirrored in your make-up case
And know it's time to leave this place behind
[Chorus:]
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
Trying to retrace your steps
It's all too easy to forget
Just which way to go
It's a long way home
Outside the sky is threatening
You slowly gather up your things
And wonder how you ever will explain
Walking out so self-assured
Yeah, you were gonna change the world
Walking back, a child in the rain
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
How can you retrace the steps
You've been trying to forget
Still it's time to go
And it's a long way home
And if you lose your way
Just keep your eye upon that endless broken line
Throw your bag beneath the bus
Sit among the curious
It happens to the best of us, you know
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
Starting to retrace your steps
You learn to live with your regrets
Next stop heaven knows
It's a long way home
Such a long way
It's a long way home
<@#Vanessa_Williams_The_First_Noel.txt#@>
The first Noel, The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds,
In fields as they lay
In fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night, that was so deep
[Chorus:]
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
When they looked up, and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth, it gave great light
And so it continued both day, and night
[Chorus: x2]
(Noel, Noel)
[Chorus: x4]
<@#Vanessa_Williams_The_Way_That_You_Love.txt#@>
I've been waiting for this moment secretly,
Counting every minute, every hour till you're with me.
'Cause I know just what's in store
And now I'm in your arms, baby close the door
Why waste another minute, ooh let's get right to it
Baby turn the lights down, and we don't have to say a word
Unspoken pleasure there's no way to measure
How you make me feel when your near me and whisper softly
So don't stop
[Chorus:]
It's just the way you love me
(You know you drive me crazy)
It's just the way that you love
(You know you drive me crazy)
And it seems time flies whenever I'm in your arms
I like to savor every second, you thrill me with your charm.
Now I'm lost in the passion (moment, feelings, magic) we share
And when I look into your eyes, I know how much you care.
Don't want to rush the feeling, couse loving you's so real and
I like the way you set the mood with, a little wine and candlelight
It's more than emotion, let's keep this fire going
Now we're lost inside our love (now we're drifting into love)
Sweet surrender is so tender.
[Chorus]
Ooh, you know me oh so well,
You always take your time, and you always get it right (you know just what I
like).
Ooh, you set my soul on fire, and I know you've got my rhythm,
Cause then you take me higher,
[Chorus: x3]
Don't you stop, stop the love, you know you've the rhythm
Don't you stop, stop the love, you know you've the rhythm
<@#Vanessa_Williams_What_Will_I_Tell_My_Heart.txt#@>
I'll try to explain to friends, dear
The reasons we two are apart
I know what to tell our friends, dear
But what can I tell my heart
It's easy to say to strangers
That we played the game from the start
It's easy to lie to strangers
But why tell a lie to your heart
When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will be bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring
I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart
When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will be bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring
I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart
Oh, what will I tell my heart

I can't front! No, I can't believe this funk
Got a blacklash as long as some happy ass
Clown, frown, Uh I get down
In the trenches underneath the underground
Under a blanket of hell you never heard rejected the sound
Wrap your troubles in dreams baby in search of a theme
I can't believe I'm triple teamed
I voted! Hope my ass wasn't railroaded
Ran for the border to avoid the slaughter
Shit! I blamed that tape recorder cause you mad outta order
Beyond categories, another East side story Uh
That's three thousand miles ago
Cause cats are shook by past crooks
Doin' street hooks too many freestyles yo be off the books
Be the judge make sure that needle don't budge don't prejudge
Your frustration anger at the association
What difference it makin got the whole world
Hatin art of war vocals influence the locals
It's a mad mad world we've been living everyday
What you gone to say all man say I'm a fuck up
Living don't throw it away
It's a mad mad world we've been living everyday
What you gone to say all man say I'm a fuck up
Living don't throw it away

It's a mad mad world we've been living everyday
(Transalation) We are ready to get in the mix
The new generation are in the place to be
MC's are ready to express themselves freely
Now I feel trapped in this everyday form of life
Who's wrong or right who knows I still fight
To survive life from the land of confusion
Man's abusing which religion are you choosing
Substance abusing losing touch with reality
Have you forgot about your family values
Can't you understand the plan
World destruction push the button end of discussion
Boom
What'cha gonna do now
It's like the sound of a Mosberg pump goin Boo Yow
What a mad world
We got cops on the take
Females being raped
Bodies floatin' in the lake
Why Over hate
Better check your faith cause it'll be gone before you wake

1 2 3 4 Hit it, Hit it
[Verse 1]
Yeah, here's a story bout my homeboy randy
He was hooked on a girl named candy
Started off as sex for fun
Now the girl's got him on the run
Made love to her just one time
Now she runs his body and mind
He calls everyday on the phone
But baby's playin' games
Leave a message at the tone
Soft and gentle is not her style
This girl is so damn wild
All my partners want to get next to her
But she ain't down with that, She moves right through 'em
Yeah, like paper plates, Tears 'em up and she throws 'em away
If you had any guts today, You'd get your butt up and you'd walk away
But you're hooked
Hooked
Know what I'm sayin', you're hooked, hooked
[Verse 2]
Yo, Get tough was your new campaign
Cryin' over a girl, boy, you're insane
She treats you like a dirty diaper
Use you one time and then she wipes you out
You understand what I'm sayin'?
If you're a man, you'll stop delaying and betraying
Try to act like you were mack
You can't go an hour without that sex attack
What's wrong, boy, is it that good?
There's a lot of girls that would and could
Take you, But you're so damn weak
I think you need to seek
Professional help, For your problems
Lay on the couch and let the doctor solve 'em
Talkin' to you and now he took your money
You're took on that honey, You're hooked
Hooked, hooked
Fellas, you know what I'm sayin', he's hooked
Ain't got an ounce of mack in him, he's hooked
[Verse 3]
Yeah, baby, run you, she takes your money
While you'll kick back cryin' over honey
Now, I must admit she's fly
But i'll be damned if oh me oh my
If I ever let a girl run my thing
I'm poppin' it the most, you know what I'm sayin'?
So understand, you gotta be real hard
Don't treat her like a dog, but let her know
You'll pull her card if she ever gets outta hand
What is you a boy or a man?
Stand up and tell baby you ain't gonna be shook
Yo punk, you're hooked on that sssy
I don't know why
I don't stand by
And just let a girl run over me
Fool, I'm a man. can't you see
Boy, you're hooked
Yeah -- you're hooked, might as well give her to me man
Let me do the wild thing, you're hooked
Shoot, I'm poppin' it man, you're hooked
[Interlude]
Let me talk to you for second.
So, what's up, vanilla?
Yo, man. come here man. what?
You know, man, you ain't doin' it right. you're off man.
See, you know what the problem is?
That ring I bought her. the diamonds weren't big enough.
I'm tellin' ya' -- the diamonds weren't...i'm goin'...you know
What she wants...i'm goin' tell ya'...no man, when I first
Met her she said she wanted a 'vette. I'm gonna' get her a vette
no man, no...a 'vette...i'm gonna get her the
'vette. no man, hey, wait up
[Verse 4]
Now it's saturday, the day you hate most
Why, because from coast to coast
You see girls everday in the club, cold kickin' it
Reminds you of baby when you used to be with it
But now she took you one time for sex and you're so sprung
That the next time she seen you
We knew, She had to leave you
Boy, you're hooked
Boy, you're hooked, hooked hooked
<@#Various_Artists_3_Doors_Down_-_When_Im_Gone.txt#@>
There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There's secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Maybe I'm just blind...
Maybe I'm just blind...
[Chorus]
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Love me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You wont always be there
So love me when I'm gone
[End chorus]
Love me when I'm gone...
When your education x-ray
Can not see under my skin
I wont tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just blind...
[Chorus]
Love me when I'm gone...
Love me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone

It was a pleasure then
Could you just be here again
To know what there was to see
When all the Sunday people
Where so quiet in the dark
Afraid to be better the next day
La la la ...
It was a pleasure then
When we could sit and stare again
Until the stars feel
through the cloudy trees
Onto the grass
Stars to smile with us
Until they too had tears in their eyes
Tell us this and tell of how much
we must not agree
It was a pleasure then
To see the dying days again
In the horror of the night
Never, never, never, never, never, lise
Keep it secret
For to hide somewhere at last
As long as we could see
The sky confessed this crime
Of futile tasting hate romance
Above our shattered minds
It was a pleasure, It was a pleasure
La la la ...

From the Golden seat of Ramses to the ending of the sacred Nile
The pharaohs of this ancient land the deserts cross countless miles
Inside the labyrinth where buried is the king his waiting maids countless
gifts lie within
Mumified entombed the ancient scroll left to rot brain heart and soul
As they walk through the passages of endless night using sparsely the candles
as their only light
Living only on the storages of food they brought no escape live to die becomes
their only thought
Cursed buried deep inside the pyramid king Tutankhamun
Cursed where this grave is their only thing Kking Tutankhamun
As the years begin to close and food to nourish sparse insanity starts to
reign to flourish in the dark
As they walk through the passages of endless time using sparsely the candles
as their only light
Living only on the storages of food they brought no escape live to die becomes
their only thought
Cursed buried deep inside the pyramid king Tutankhamun
Cursed where this grave is their only thing king Tutankhamun
And as they walk through the passages of endless night
Drawing nearer to the last nothing left inside the tomb
Except the braindead plight lost in histories of the past
Cursed buried deep inside the pyramid king Tuankhamun
Cursed where his grave is the only thing king Tutankhamun
Cursed buried deep inside the pyramid king buried deep inside the pyramid
Cursed buried deep inside the pyramid king buried deep inside the pyramid

<@#Venom_Judgement_Day.txt#@>
When dormant eyes burst open
So we can see the way
Destiny has spoken
And there's hell to pay
The sceptics light the candles
For the eternal right
Blinded faith's are broken
Ghosts of father's die
Souls as slaves
Sold as saved
Judgement day
Left betrayed
Final grave
Judgement day
The message burns the answer
On the bones of the dead
Without the necromancers
Hope hangs from a thread
The chaos devastation
Licks immortal sin
Mother earth is now ridden
Of those who pray to win
Souls as slaves
Sold as saved
Judgement day
Left betrayed
Final grave
Judgement day
In distant darkened orders
The prophets read the signs
The overlords move over
To let the blood move over
To let the blood life shine
Erasing false deceptions
An antidote for lies
Religious rigormortis
When man as beast arise
Souls as slaves
Sold as saved
Judgement day
Left betrayed
Final grave
Judgement day

Get this - Hey you girl looking at me
I need to get it on - tonight
Stop your staring unless you're free
I need someone who fits just right
Wanna hear it - All I wanna do is open you up wide
Hey you child what's your game
Put some great white muscle - In between your thighs
I need someone who fits just right
All this is physical no need to know your name
I need a woman yeah - tonight
Put some great white muscle - In between your -
Let me hear it - All I wanna do is open you up wide -
I need a woman who can last the night
I need to get it on -
c'mon play with a white man yeah
Get this - Hey you girl looking at me
Stop your staring unless you're free
I need to get it on - tonight
I need someone who fits just right
Wanna hear it - All I wanna do is open you up wide
Put some great white muscle - In between your thighs
<@#Venom_Nightmare.txt#@>
By the shores of the aging sea
Fools scream out destiny
They speak of vengeance and your gods
into the fire out of the flame
The beast awakes thousands are slain
The mystic reads forgotten tales
All hallows hail your falling waves
Nightmare this is your prize eternal
Nightmare make no disguise infernal
Nightmare you'll realize you lost in
Nightmare, nightmare
Inside explodes the butcher strikes
You'd love to die your baby cries
Lead candles burn just a decoy
The giant child your his new toy
In the eye of the lions teeth
Your flesh becomes his meat
You lie devoured still full of life
Temples of ice white desert breeze
The golden sun prepares to freeze
Dying of thirst drowning in pain
You wake in sleep it starts again
<@#Venom_Sons_Of_Satan.txt#@>
Somewhere in time we were born,
And brought blood, lust, hatred and scorn,
Your sorry now you trusted me,
Now I command that you get down on your knees
For
Hell the deceiver,
Satan's child,
Your a believer,
And we're going wild.
Put away all your virtues,
Stop your climbing the walls,
Just sign your name on the paper,
We'll have ourselves a ball.
Was it the battle of envy,
You were so mighty and brave,
But your foolish compulsions,
Sent you to the grave.
Hell has deceived you,
You were so blind,
Just like all mortals,
You'll loose your mind.
Hell has deceived you,
You were so blind,
Join venoms legions,
'Cause we're going wild.
<@#Vera_Lynn_A_House_With_Love_In_It.txt#@>
A house with love in it is rich indeed
Although there are a thousand things that house may need
The carpet may be old, the room so plain and bare
And yet it's beautiful somehow, when love is living there
A house with love in it just seems to bloom
As though the month of May were filling every room
So, darling, through the years with all my heart I'll pray
A house with love in it is where we'll stay
A house with love in it just seems to bloom
As though the month of May were filling every room
So darling, through the years with all my heart I'll pray
A house with love in it is where we'll stay
<@#Vera_Lynn_Lili_Marlene.txt#@>
Underneath the lantern
By the barrack gate
Darling I remember
The way you used to wait
'Twas there that you whispered tenderly
That you loved me
You'd always be
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
Time would come for roll call
Time for us to part
Darling I'd caress you
And press you to my heart
And there neath that far off lantern light
I'd hold you tight
We'd kiss good night
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
Orders came for sailing
Somewhere over there
All confined to barracks
'Twas more than I could bear
I knew you were waiting in the street
I heard your feet
But could not meet
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
Resting in our billet
Just behind the line
Even though we're parted
Your lips are close to mine
You wait where that lantern softly gleamed
Your sweet face seems
To haunt my dreams
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene.
<@#Vera_Lynn_Yours.txt#@>
Yours 'til the stars lose their glory
Yours 'til the birds fail to sing
Yours to the end of life's story
This pledge to you dear, I bring
Yours in the grey of December
Here or on far distant shores
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
How could I, when I was born to be
Just yours
This night has music, the sweetest music
It echoes somewhere within my heart
I hold you near me, oh darling hear me
I have a message I must impart
Just yours
When I was born to be just yours
<@#Vertical_Horizon_Give_You_Back.txt#@>
I need to know if you were real
'Cause I've been known to get it wrong
When the memory comes
I'll say I'm always in the dark
You got me now
Chorus
I want to give you back
I want to give you back
Somewhere out of here
I want to give you
I want to give you
I want to give you back
I can't remember how it went
You looked like everything I wanted
And as you came along
Slowly everything began to change
I got you now
[Chorus]
That's enough
Just talking about it
I don't mind
I don't mind no I
Laugh enough
Just dreaming about it
I need to know if you were real
I'd hate to think that I'd been fooled again
And as the vision fades
I'll say I was blinded by your eyes
I felt them burn
[Chorus]
<@#Vertical_Horizon_Heart_In_Hand.txt#@>
I know it's been a long road
To get these towns behind me and I
Will gladly reap what we may sow I am
There for you and you're there for me
Pictures and photographs
Memories and windows
Goodbyes and epitaphs
Heartbeats and hellos
[Chorus]
Are you waiting for
Heart in hand
Woman and man
See me where I stand I am
Heart
Heart in hand
These fields may hold a hunting ground
But the wolves are far behind me and I
Hear the howls and the distant sound
Of the messengers lost at sea
Into the morning light
Followed by madness
Reach through the empty fight
Searching through sadness
[Chorus]
I know it's been a long road
To get these fears behind me and I
Will gladly reap what we may sow I am
There for you and you're there for me
Pictures and photographs
Memories and windows
Goodbyes and epitaphs
Heartbeats and hellos
Are you waiting for
Heart in hand
Woman, man
You see me, where I stand
I am, heart
Heart in hand
Heart in hand
All for a woman
And I am, and I am waiting
Where I stand
I am, heart
Heart in hand
<@#Vertical_Horizon_One_Of_You.txt#@>
Breathe in the water
Drown in the sky
High, high above her
While I'm floating through your eyes
Hold me in motion
Still within your sun
Under this ocean
As the world melts into one
And I'm hangin' on to all that I hold dear
And I'm letting go of all of my fear
I'm hanging on to every single one of you
See all the darkness
Blind in the light
Deep in this forest
Till we leave this endless night
And I'm hangin' on to all that I hold dear
And I'm letting go of all of my fear
I'm hanging on to every single one of you
Go somewhere better
Go to the sea
Walk through the desert
Till your love flows over me
And I'm hangin' on to all that I hold dear
And I'm letting go of all of my fear
I'm hanging on to every single one of you
To every single one of you
To every single one
Every single one of you

For you
Won't you tell me, tell me
What to do

For you
Cause the way you look at me
I can say you set me free
And no matter what you say

I see your world, the world is you

Everyday is a day to get through
Till I see baby, baby blue
And the way you look at me
I can say you set me free
And no matter what you say
I won't go away
I won't go away
And it takes
Such a long time to get through this
Such a long time to find this kiss
And I can't forget it
I'm not ready yet
And I came such a long way
From where you are
Now I'm falling from this star
And I can't forget it
I'm not ready yet
Cause the way you look at me
I can say you set me free
And no matter what you say
I won't go away
I won't go away
Heal me, baby, baby won't you

For you
Won't you tell me, tell me
Something new
I am crazy, crazy
For you

For you

I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's OK
There's somewhere beyond this I know
But I hope I can find the words to say
Never again no
No never again

'Cause you're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
That you would know
You're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
I'd let you go
But I've been unable
To put you down
I'm still learning things I ought to know by now
It's under the table so
I need something more to show somehow
Never again no
No never again

I've got to be honest

There's somewhere beyond this I know
But I hope I can find the words to say
Never again no
No never again

I'm losing side of its meaning.
You blew away the meaning.
Had it in my head, but where'd it go, Aurora?

One day maybe you will love again
Love that never dies
One day maybe you will see the land
Touch skin with sand
You've been swimming in the lonely sea
With no company
Oh, don't you want to find?
Can't you hear this beauty in life?
The roads, the highs, breaking up your life
Can't you hear this beauty in life?
One day maybe you will cry again
Just like a child
You've gotta tie yourself to the mast my friend
And the storm will end
Oh, don't you want to find?
Can't you hear this beauty in life?
The times, the highs, breaking up your mind
Can't you hear this beauty in life?
Oh, you're too afraid to touch
Too afraid you'll like it too much
The roads, the times, breaking up your mind
Can't you hear this beauty in life?
One day maybe I will dance again
One day maybe I will love again

Got my head

On her own
And I know
She's in the air
And I don't want it to go
I can feel her love
But I don't want it to go
She got my woe
Got my hand
Took the dreams
Right outta my head
She bought the world
I paid the bills
I took those pills
It was wind in her sails
She climbed so high
I don't know why
High,
On her own
And I know
She's in the air
And I don't want it to go
I can feel her love
But I don't want it to go

I was thinking maybe we could go outside
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride

I wonder which cup you'll drink from
I hope it's mine
Beause you always do that something
Something I'm not sure of
But just for today
Let go and burn away
'Cause I read your mind
I need it because it takes me where I can't find
Because you always do that something

It's me throwing stones from the stars
On your mixed up world
Been circling round for twenty years
And in that time I've seen all the fires and all the liars

And in that time I heard the screams rebound to me
While, you were making history
I could see the fire

How my life seemed to change in a matter of days

Come and get it, if you want to
So hop on the train 'Cause it kills the pain

They tie me down through with you
But I feel no pain
Stormy clouds, new horizons

Lookin' back on my life

No time for sad lament
A wasted life is bitter spent
So rise into the light
In or out of time
Gonna rise straight through the light
In or out of time
Woke up one other day
The pain won't go away
I am growing
In peculiar ways
Into a light I pass
Another dream, another trance
This time, this time
This time I'm gonna rise into the light
In or out of time
Gonna find my way in life
In or out of sight
I'm still seeing things in black and white
Gonna rise straight into the light
In or out of sight
I'm gonna see the light
I'm gonna see the light
I'm gonna see the light

Even though our love died
I couldn't make you love me

Give more time to have the chance
To show you this where, I want to be
But that old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord I wish I was given more time

Trying to sleep at night
'Bout how you'd cry when you decide
To final walk away
Babe, I swear I never thought
I'd ever see this day
So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real
I never knew that losing you
Would tear my world apart
Who could've known I'd be alone
With just my broken heart
So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real
So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real

Goodbye to make it real

It seems like I've waited a lifetime
To find someone special like you
If you ever walked out of my life
I don't know what I would do
'Cause if I didn't have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn't have you in my world

I'll be here and easy to find
If your heart isn't ready to lay down with mine
If you ever have forever in mind

You live for the moment no future no past
I may be a fool to love by the rules, I want it to last

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold,
Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King.

To hear the angels sing.
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing,
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing!
Hear the angels sing!

When Jenny was a little girl she only dreamed of trains
She never played with dolls or lacy kinds of things
Jenny counted boxcars instead of countin' sheep
She could go anywhere when she went to sleep
All she ever talked about was gettin' on to ride
She was livin' in another time you could see it in her eyes
Everyday after school she'd head don't to the tracks
Waitin' for the train that was never comin' back
Jenny dreamed of trains
When the nighttime came
Nobody knew how she made it come true
Jenny dreamed of trains
The depot's been boarded up, the rails have turned to rust
There hasn't been a train through here since the mill went bust
No one believed her when she said she heard the train
Said she was just a little girl actin' kinda strange
Jenny dreamed of trains
When the nighttime came
Nobody knew how she made it come true
Jenny dreamed of trains
Jenny laid a penny on the track one day
In God we trust she walked away
The very next mornin' all that she could find
Was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime
Nobody knew how she made it come true
Jenny dreamed of trains

Me and you and the Sunday paper
Spread all over the bed
A rose colored morning light
All to ourselves
Hot coffee and the comic strips
Pillow talk and your fingertips
Laying down and loving
'Til there's nothing left
[Chorus]
I'll take the little things
The simple pleasures that your sweet love brings
I'll take the little things with you
Open the window, leave that old fan on
Lay here with me 'til the sun is gone
Don't say nothin' just let the time
Pass right on by
I want to hear you breathe
I want to brush your hair
I don't care if we go anywhere
We've got everything we need
Right here in this room
[Chorus]
Me and you and the Sunday paper
Spread all over the bed
<@#Vince_Gill_Liza_Jane.txt#@>
You've got my number
You've got my name
So why don't you call me
Little Liza Jane
You've got that body
You've got that frame
So why don't you call me
Little Liza Jane
Girl I got it bad for you
There ain't nothin' I won't do
Just one kiss and I'll never be the same
Little Liza Jane, oh little Liza Jane
Now you've heard my story
You've got to know my name
So why don't you call me
Little Liza Jane
Girl I got it bad for you
There ain't nothin' I won't do
Just one kiss and I'll never be the same
Little Liza Jane, oh little Liza Jane
<@#Vince_Gill_Molly_Brown.txt#@>
Molly Brown, waits for me
In a little one-horse town
And Boley, Oklahoma
Where white folks don't come around
I'm thinkin' about you, Molly
I'm forbidden to come 'round
Lord knows I love you, Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Lay down by my side
Show me how you spread your wings
And let that pony ride
I'm crazy about you, Molly
I don't care that your skin is brown
Lord knows I need you, Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown
Oh, Molly Brown
We met down by the river
She wore her wedding gown
I never saw it coming
And no one heard the sound
My daddy used both barrels
And left me there to drown
Lord knows I'd die for Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Don't you weep for me
I'm going to a place the Lord
Prepared for you and me
I'll meet you up in Heaven
Upon that Holy ground
I'll be waitin' for you, Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Lord, I'll be waitin' up in Heavenly
My sweet little brown, Molly Brown
<@#Vince_Gill_Oh_Carolina.txt#@>
Sunrise through the evergreens
Another day is born
The hills take on a golden glow
A Carolina morn
I used to see you in her eyes
Now I just got to know
Oh Carolina, how could you let her go
[Chorus]
Oh Carolina, if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, I would have never gone
I thought the beauty of your hills
Would hold her here for me
I never dreamed while I was gone
You'd ever set her free
I trusted you with all my heart
And the only love I've known
Oh Carolina, how could you let her go
[Chorus: x2]
I would have never gone
<@#Vince_Gill_Santa_Claus_Is_Coming_To_Town.txt#@>
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list, checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toots and rum-a-tum-tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
And curly-head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddy cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town
The kids in Girl- and Boyland will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland town
All around the Christmas tree
<@#Vince_Gill_Say_Hello.txt#@>
I walk down these lonely strets and try to find you
In all the same old places we use to go
And the old friends that I meet still ask about you
And they tell me if I see you say hello
Say hello to the arms that used to hold me
Hold me close when those chilly winds would blow
Say hello with the lips that used to kiss me
And whisper in my ear I love you so
I remember the night when I first met you
I knew that I could never let you go
Now I can't find a way to forget you
I'd give anything to hear you say hello
Say hello to the arms that used to hold me
Hold me close when those chilly winds would blow
Say hello with the lips that used to kiss me
And whisper in my ear I love you so
I'd give anything to hear you say hello
<@#Vince_Gill_South_Side_Of_Dixie.txt#@>
You know I'm about to lose my mind
I got a woman down below the Mason-Dixon line
She deals the cards awful good to me
She's a blackjack dealer on the Delta Queen
[Chorus]
On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen
Half a tank north of Birmingham
Red eye gravy and country ham
Chattanooga woman sure is sweet
She's a hillbilly singer from Tennessee
[Chorus]
If you go down south, you're gonna have a ball
You'll go half crazy tryin' to love 'em all
You might get lucky, you can't never tell
With them Georgia peaches and them southern belles
[Chorus]
<@#Vince_Gill_Sparkle.txt#@>
Sparkle, there's gotta be a sparkle
For you to love somebody
For you to really know
Brighter than the lights in the city
It's more than being pretty
The way you are inside
Why are you crying
Somebody's trying
To be with you only all the time
You hide behind tears
Counting the fears
You're so used to being alone
Sparkle, there's gotta be a sparkle
For you to love somebody
For you to really know
Sparkle, you got a certain sparkle
I know I love somebody
I gotta let it show
Nobody knows you
They can't get too close to
A girl who won't let down her disguise
You won't believe how much someone could love you
That someone is looking in your eyes
Sparkle, it's gotta be a sparkle
For you to love somebody
For you to really know
Brighter than the lights of the city
It's more than being pretty
It's the way you feel inside
Sparkle
<@#Vince_Gill_The_Key_To_Life.txt#@>
I'd love to hear my daddy play once again
All the songs that he taught me when I was a kid
John Henry, Ol' Shep and Faded Love
I Fall To Pieces and On The Wings Of A Dove
Just a few chords on the banjo that was all he knew
But in the eyes of a child, man his fingers flew
I practiced and I practiced til I got it right
Packed up everything and just took off one night
I made it from the beer joints to the Opry stage
He said the only difference is what you're gettin' paid
He didn't care that everybody knew my name
He said it's all for nothin' if you don't stay the same
But when he died the preacher cried and said he's the lucky one
He's walkin' hand in hand in hand with God's only son
My faith and common sense tell me the preacher's right
But I'd love to hear the banjo ring for me tonight
And I will honor my father with these words I write down
As long as I remember him he'll always be around
And the pain of losin' him cuts like a Randall knife
I learned a few chords on the banjo as the key to life
And the pain of losin' him cuts like a Randall knife
I learned a few chords on the banjo as the key to life
<@#Vince_Gill_The_Rock_Of_Your_Love.txt#@>
I lose myself in this place
Strangest smile on my face
The hand of blessing or beginner's luck
Here I stand on the rock of your love
Somethin' steady sure feels good
I always knew somehow it would
I've traded chains for the wings of a dove
Standin' on the rock of your love
Let the storm clouds roll
Let the rain flood my soul
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love
If this ol' world should fade away
If I've got you I ain't afraid
I will face whatever comes
Standin' on the rock of your love
Let the storm clouds roll
Let the rain flood my soul
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love
<@#Vince_Gill_True_Love.txt#@>
No one ever told me
During all those tears I cried
That one day you would hold me
I just kept hoping inside
True love was waiting
True love would find me in time
True love was waiting
Your love would finally be mine
No one ever showed me
Such care and tenderness
Baby you know me
And what moves me the best
It's true love waiting
It's true love making up for lost time
It's true love waiting
Your love it's finally mine
And I can't erase these lines on my face
But I'd turn back time if I could
But all the years wanting, the desperate longing,
Are maybe what makes this so good
True love, waiting
True love that found us in time
True love is waiting
Your love is finally mine
True love is waiting
Your love is finally mine
<@#Vince_Gill_White_Christmas.txt#@>
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
<@#Vince_Gill_Without_You.txt#@>
Everytime I look into the mirror
I swear that I don't see the things you do
You say it couldn't be any clearer
And all I can see is me without you
[Chorus]
Without you trying to change me
With you trying to take me
And turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me
Without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you
When you slipped that little ring around my finger
you smiled and said your wilder days are through
Well, I've got a real bad case of rambling fever
And all I can see is me without you
[Chorus: x 2]
All I can see is me without you

Here comes the weekend, sure could use
Some relaxation to shake these blues
Fill up the cooler with a little good cheer
Hand me my sun shades, I'm checkin' out of here
I'm workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)
Lord, I'm workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)

Hook up the camper, head for the lake
Sit on my tail bone, them fish can wait
Pick up my baby, she's going too
A little skinny dippin', Lord is good for you
I'm workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)
I'm workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)

Workin' on a
Now we ain't leavin' till the suds are gone
Call everybody, there's a party goin' on
Come Monday mornin', it's back to the grind
Come on baby, let's have a good time
We'll be workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)
And we'll be workin', Lord, on a big chill

We'll be workin' on a big chill

And we'll be workin', baby, on a big chill
Workin' on a

I dig the black girls,
Oh so much more than the white girls.
I was so pleased to learn they were faster.
Si-est, si-est, si-est vous I'm after?
All comes a faggot white boy.
Said look, look, look first kind of joy.
They come around so queer and quiet,
As I rebel and riot.
Shall I dig the white boys?
All so much more that the black boys.
I was so pleased to learn they're not smarter.
Go on, give, give, give it to me harder,
Harder, harder, just say harder.
You know I love the Lord of hosts,
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.
I was so pleased to learn that he's inside me
In my time of trouble he will hide me.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.

I've been following women all afternoon
don't turn around
too soon
I've been following you all afternoon
following you a fool in the full moon
something's got a hold on me when I get a hold of you
following women
after dark
nobody knows what's in my heart
let your loving be
I'm a lechery
I do not spread leprosy
I will not touch but let me see
my building's burning down and i cannot breathe
following you
who won't believe
perfect peace I cannot perceive
when I'm following you I'm a fool in the full moon

Only one cure in this world
I need the cure

Hey james brown

Hit me in the morning
Hit me in the night
Hit me when I'm wrong

Hit me when I'm up

All over town

I'm not giving you no jive
Make me feel I'd rather be dead than alive

Problems drive me out of my mind

And don't tell me no joke
'Cause I'm not gonna laugh

I'm gnawing on the knowledge
That I have been burnt
And I'm learning things that I
Should've already learnt
Everyone I ever knew
Was so kind and coy
I was with a girl
But it felt like I was with a boy
I can't even remember
If we were lovers
Or if I just wanted to
But I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms
But it wasn't you
I will not kill
The one thing that I love
In this world of wreckage
I look above
Help me Lord
Help me understand
What it means to be a boy
What it means to be a man

I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say
Yesterdays a day away.
Nothing I can do to make it stay like that.
Ain't that a fact.
I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say
I just can't handle things this way.
I know it's late, but I'd like to stay a while, see you smile.
Will you meet me in the morning, with sun fresh on the dew?
Will you meet me in the afternoon, made just for me and you?
Will you meet me in the evening, when the nighttime starts to crawl?
Will you meet me in the hall?
Will you meet me on the wall?
Will you meet me at all?
One more time, one more time.
Shaking up and down my spine.
Jump a rope or skip a line or two.
What can I do?
One more time, one more time.
Color flashing neon signs.
Advertising a friend of my distraction, latest attraction.
Oh my body has been punished.
Lord, I think I've had enough.
Oh my body has been punished
With too much and not enough.
Oh my body has been punished
And my mind can no longer bluff.
My mind is so unkind, my mind is so unkind.
It keeps me crying all the time.
I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say
Yesterdays a day away.

Looks like the city's done to us again
Tied up in traffic what'ya know

By the gods - Black Slaughter
By the gods - You're King
By the gods - Blind Justice
By the gods - We Sing
All shall heel, all shall hear!
By the gods - Your Father
By the gods - Your Soul
By the gods - In Fire
By the gods - You're owned
All shall heel, all shall hear!
Gods and Devils screaming out their Final Warning
Holy Fire from the Sky
Violent Mourning Burns the Rays of Olympus
While the Blood drips from their eyes
And the Crime shakes the Hall, "Are you ready"
When you see the Liar Burn
Yet the Kanons are the Snakes of his Torment, at the Naval of the Earth
I see the Sons of the Crown of the New
Covered in Bloodlust and shame
I feel the Whip of the Great Son of Zeus
Lashing my Honour and Place
Lightning won't remove the Crown We hold True
I see the Face of the God, I see the Face of the God on his Black Soul
I see the Madness as I look into your eyes
Impaling Terror unfit for this Shrine
Riding in Thunder the Murdering Rain
Leave this Shrine and the Halls of the Mighty
Go and Haunt the Slaughterhouse!
I see the Sons of the Crown of our New
King of the Heavens of Shame
I see the tricks of the Lords We once Ruled
I see the Face of the God, I see the Face of the God on his Black Soul
Let the Goddess of Fortune decide who'll never return
Will the Day break instead of the Night, the Victim returns
In the Silence of the City, I await Fortune or Fire
Dear Athena be my Healer, I am here knowing that Life may never return...
And when you Die you'll meet the World's Suffering
Plunge into the Black Night Sky
We are in Force, We are called as One... All as One
Holding the Ancient Right of Blood...

She'll stab you in the back

On raven wings she glides into my bed
Nocturnal rites, fear and passion wed
Forbidden reason far below the sea
Salvation shines from your divinity

On the bridge of hades, searching for a sign
On the brink of knowledge, there's no time
Shadow of the horseman who is sworn to rise
Seven are now waiting in the skies warring angels forage
Scavengers of pain I am born to power
Courage is my name
Rise on the wings of truth
To the sun we know that forever lives inside
Mind, body, spirit
All are one
Rising like a tower, fortune's torch revives
Slicing every rule that will divide
Who will hold the red queen when misfortune cries
Seven bands are waiting in the sky
Murder and fire and pain is the
Sign swollen with power your
Blood is my wine
And I know
Rise on the wings of doom to the sun
We know that forever lives inside
Mind, body, spirit, all are one
Mind, body, spirit, all are one
Prizing only valor numen steal the
Light on the brink of knowledge
Burning bright shadow of the
Horseman who is sworn to rise
Sin and death are waiting in the
Skies murder and fire and pain is the
Sign swollen with power your
Blood is my wine
And I know
Rise on the wings of death, to the sun
We know that forever lives inside
I see my vision, I see the line
Circling onward, looking for nine
I know the answer is not to be found
Searching in darkness with eyes of the blind
And in the morning,
Two will remain
To carry us onward, to guard the flame
That we know
There'll be time, for all, for all
We don't need you, we're fine on our own
We don't want you, leave us alone
Fortune is fire as numen we
Shine invoking the power, your
Blood is my wine
And I know the mind is a tower
The body sublime the soul is the power, your
Blood is my wine
And I know
Leave us alone

I'm not sleepin' the walls are down
and your hands are icy cold
under water through che sound of fear
comes a drowned and cold reply
and the mist still hangs around the gallows
like the anger after the violent rain
[Chorus:]
Die if you will die if you want to
there's no mistake the ending is clean
the fire is cold in the ashes of memory
there's no escape from this hotel
Like a child who lies to win
then eats of his own flesh
holy water can't save you now
you've hungered far too long
and the words once spoken
now ring hollow as the mind that
shatters your flesh with nails
[Chorus]
I'm not sleepin' I'm alive for you

the dawn takes the night, the night takes the sun
the son takes your sins your sins can be cleansed

No escape the ending is clean

Guardian of the lies of faith
Darker now this tale of hate
Look into the eyes of death
Buried in another's flesh
Fate guide my hand as I ride hell's wind
Hole in the sky where the blackest spirits rage
Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again
Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again
Now you live and now you die
Across the lake of gorgon's eyes
Crimson blood, a hero's quest
Atone for death with still more death
Hate guides my hand as I smile within
Hole in the sky where the blackest spirits rage
Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again
Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again
Right's on the side of our twin thrones of war
Bold are the crowns in their hands
Bright are the signs of the godhead
Justice is found where the proud eagles reign
Blind persuasion, crack the holy tearless eyes
Will the true kings return, thunder greets you with a sword
Guardian of the lies of faith
Harken now this tale of hate
Noble deeds were done this day
Welcome home your king betrayed
Fate guides my hand as I plunge this blade
Hole in your heart where the blackest furies rage
Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again
Through the ring of fire
Through the ring of pain
Through the ring of fire, I am born again
Hope is rising with the sound of our glory
We will see where we lie
Ah, ah, ah, ah, aha ah ah ah, etc.

Where are you running to now
Where are you running to now
Oh babe

Oh yeah
Silence,

Just a lonely sound as you disappear
In the night, the clouds are black
The starts have died
And you're never, never coming back

Don't you know that it's not easy?
Don't you know that it's so hard to take?
Where are you now, is someone with you?
I'll have to accept that you're not coming back
No, no more, no more, no more, no more...

I'm never gonna see you again
Goodbye babe, goodbye babe
<@#Vonda_Shepard_Confetti.txt#@>
Skinny little brats
Walking down Avenue A
Dangling their cigarettes
Their Independence Day
Tears like filigrees
Wear them on their sleeves
Nobody's main squeeze
It's thirty-five degrees
Poetry of ordinary life is what I live for
They just want to be seen
They just want to be heard, said
[Chorus]
My words are like confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall to the ground
I need someone to lift me up
So diaphanous so ephemeral
And all those bad words
They never learned in school
Groovy like my mamma was
In her black turtle neck
She was so high strung
She was so low tech
Poetry and tattooed dreams
And fourteen caret nose rings
The children of elite
Are trying to be street saying
[Chorus]

I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say "Hello"
Aww you wished me well, you couldn't tell
That I'd been cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Then you said "so long". left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying cry-i-ing
It's hard to understand but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you but it's tru-ue, so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do-o-o-o
For you don't love me and I'll always be
Cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, cry-i-i-ing
Yeah crying, crying, o-o-o-o-ver you

He had his father's eyes
And his mother's point of view
There was no disguise
He couldn't see through
Sometimes the little things
They don't seem so small
But they had a good thing overall
[Chorus]
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Knew him the way you did
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene
There was a rainbow over here
He didn't see it from over there
Black and white are fine
But he's color blind
Watching over me
There must have been some kind of mystery
Because I wanted him too
But it was all wrong, all wrong
[Chorus]
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Knew him the way you did
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Knew him the way you did
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene, no don't cry
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene
Oh no, Don't cry
<@#Vonda_Shepard_Dreamin.txt#@>
I sit and wonder
How my life would be
If you were here with me
What a beautiful fantasy
Early in the morning
I find myself with tears in my eyes
From a dream that you're featured in
And it hurts deep inside
To know that you won't let me in to your life
And I wonder why
I'm going crazy
I keep thinking about your foolish smile
Here I go I just can't stop
Dreamin'
Dreamin'
All the time
I'm dreamin' of all the joy we could have baby
Dreamin'
Dreamin'
For your heart
I'm dreamin' of all the love that we could share
It's my decision
To leave you now
Just because it hurts too much
Knowing you'll never give enough
But how I long to
Experience the magic of your touch again
Now you're always on my mind
I just can't stop
Dreamin'
Dreamin'
All the time
I'm dreamin' of all the time we could have baby
Dreamin'
Dreamin'
For your heart
I'm dreamin' of all the love that we could share
I think of the time we had
You're making me want you so bad
I'm watching you walk away
But I wish I could make you stay
The only thing that I can do
Is baby, baby to dream of you
I wake up in the morning thinking 'bout you baby
All the time and the time that we could be together yeah
<@#Vonda_Shepard_Hooked_On_A_Feeling.txt#@>
I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me
Your lips are sweet as candy
The taste stays on my mind
You just keep me thirsty
For another cup of wine
When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right
I, I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I've got it bad for you, darling
But I don't need a cure
I'll just stay addicted
And hope I can endure
All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up boy
Yeah, you turn me on
I, I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right
I, I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I said I'm hooked on a feeling
<@#Vonda_Shepard_Its_In_His_Kiss.txt#@>
Does he love me
I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so?
(Is it in his eyes?) Oh no,
You'll be deceived
(Is it in his eyes?) Oh no,
He'll make believe
If you want to know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss
(Or is it in his face?) Oh, no
It's just his charm
(In his warm embrace?) Oh, no
That's just his arms
If you want to know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss
Kiss him and squeeze him tight
And find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss
(About the way he acts?) Oh, no
That's not the way
And you're not listening to all that I say
If you want to know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss
<@#Vonda_Shepard_Mercy.txt#@>
I was raised on nothing, so I save my money
Emotional poverty, well I'm used to running
How amazing you make me feel
If I am crazy, don't want to know what's real
You're like a wave of heaven and you're breaking on me
To change the destiny of a girl that's lonely
But how amazing and how surreal
To live with a desire that you may never feel
I can sell everything but my soul
I have never settled just to play some kind of role
I have give everything baby but my hand
Mercy can you save me from this wonderful man
I feel like a can
I kick myself down the street
I'm crushed for a while
Then I get on my feet
I loved the illusive in every man I saw
I draw them to me like they were the last straw
I can sell everything baby but my soul
I have never settled just to play some kind of role
I have given everything baby but my hand
Mercy can you save me from this wonderful man
<@#Vonda_Shepard_Please_Come_Home_For_Christmas.txt#@>
Bells will be ringing the sad sad news
Oh, what a Christmas to end the blues
My baby's gone, and I have no friends
To wish me greetings, once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
For this is Christmas, yeah, it's Christmas my dear
It's the time of year to be with the one you love
So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow no grief or pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
[instrumental interlude]
There'll be no more sorrow no grief or pain
And I'll be happy, happy Christmas once again
<@#Vonda_Shepard_Rainy_Days.txt#@>
We were walking above
Pretending to be in love
In phases I watched you float away
I was under the gun
Trying to have some fun
In phases I watched you slip away
Remember all these rainy says
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days
We were sticking it out
Getting used to the doubt
In phases you watched me drift away
Now I'm taking a train
Shooting through the rain
Amazed that I'm alone here
Once again
Remember all these rainy days
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days, yeah
I watched you float away
Remember all these rainy days
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even the clearest of days
These rainy days
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days
<@#Vonda_Shepard_Searchin_My_Soul.txt#@>
I've been down this road walkin' the line
That's painted by pride
And I have made mistakes in my life
That I just can't hide
Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to bring
Got myself together, now I'm ready to sing
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
One by one, the chains around me unwind
Every day now I feel that I can leave those years behind
Oh I've been thinking of you for a long time
There's a side of my life where I've been blind and so...
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
Don't want to be alone in life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
Baby I been holding back now my whole life
I've decided to move on now
Gonna leave all my worries behind
Oh I belive I am ready for what love has to give
Got myself together now I'm ready to live
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
Don't want to be alone in my life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home

<@#Vonda_Shepard_The_Wildest_Times_Of_The_World.txt#@>
I have fallen, I have stood up, I've had the patience of a tree
You have trembled, you have stayed still, you have tumbled like a weed
All the mountains, all the deserts, go for miles and miles around
We have driven for years now, baby, just to get bak to a place we had
already
found
Now you're driving me downtown, baby, on a rainy night
You're driving me crazy, baby, is this really life?
In the wildest times of the world
Oh I never thought I'd be here with you tonight
In the wildest times of the world
Let's stay together in this lonely and crazy life
I was mistaken, our love was forsaken, the worst mistake I ever made
Were you lonely, were you brave, now?
I guess the two are one and the same
Now I'm singing here with my sweet, sweet darling in my eye
Ain't it funny how you're walking through life and it turns on a dime?
I was missing you crazy, baby, are you really mine?
In the wildest times of the world
Oh I never thought I'd be here with you tonight
In the wildest times of the world
Let's stay together in this lonely and crazy life
Hey Hey Hey...

Cyanide a suicide
No thoughts of pain
Genocide a crucified martyr's laid
Down to the dust there to fade away.
All geeks and circus freaks
Come play with me
Pimps to bring my sex fiends
Molesting me
Round to the lust my debauchery.
Destined here to reign supreme
Your bloodied king
Dying for the world
Oh death where is thy sting

Bleeding me

Mother Mine
Oh mamma where you gone
Now you come to
Claim me your son
I'm the broken piece of your life
Oh and mama why'd you come
Fall before me say i'm your one
Oh, you gave but taken my life
Was I born in your sin
Or Mary's lie
Cause I know all that you hide
Come closer am I blind
Oh to your madness
Here in your naked grace
Mother why
Oh mama where you gone
Now you come to
Claim me your son
I'm the broken piece of your life
Oh and mama why'd you come
Fall before me say I'm your one
Oh, you gave but taken my life
I'll kill the beast
So to free my soul
And smash the tears
That never let me go
Oh, if there's a smile you see
It's only the clockwork
Orange that's in me
I curse the darkness
Impassioned plea
And tear the heart out
And watch me bleed
I'll sacrifice my blood for free
To satisfy the vengeance in me
Oh all I need was someone
To love me
Oh all I needed was one
There's no one who cares

Lights shine illumination bright
Reveal all the madness here tonight

Welcome, I bid your welcome, to live
Inside the electric circus
Hang on,hang on to your life
The animals are all insane - God help us
Electricity to burn

Insane asylum grows
Night after night, the main attraction
A strange world that you might want to know
When it comes alive - crank, crank, crank, crank the show

I live my life like a shot in the wind
If tomorrow don't come I know
I stole my share of fun for me
Cause I'm too fast, too rad
I'm going wasted when I go
The cost of freedom's never free
It's the deep six, it's my fix
It's my best friend, cause it's my way or the highway
I'll tell you it's the living end
I'm a rebel in the FDG
And I say only God in heaven knows
I'm a bad child, come and love me
And I say, oh yeah
If you're fast you might last
Slow you gotta go
A wild one in the decadent zoo
Ooh, I lick up all my seven deadly sins
Cause I'm too hot, too cool
Oh I've been playing in the fire of fools
I might burn but I'll burn in the wind
It's the deep six, it's my fix
It's the big jam, cause it's my way or the highway
I'll tell you what I am
Oh I, I feel the heat and I, I touch the flesh and bone
And I feel the kiss of fire
Too fast to live, too fast to die
Mom and daddy say, "I'm dancing in the fire"
Sometimes I feel like an animal in a cage
I pace back and forth and look around
For something to sink my teeth into
But nobody knows what's going on inside me

Welcome to the show, the great finale's finally here
I thank you for coming into my theater of fear
Welcome to the show, you're all witnesses, you see
A privileged invitation to the last rites of me
Remember me? You can't save me
Mama, you never needed me
No crimson king, look in my eyes, you'll see
Mama, I'm lonely, it's only me, it's only me
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million
I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamed
The idol of a million, lonely faces look at me
Behind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyes
I've got their footprints all across my crimson mind
Long live, long live
Long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
There is no love to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love to shelter me, only love, love set me free
I was the warrior with an anthem in my soul
The idol of eight thousand, lonely days of rage ago
And remember me when it comes your time to choose
Be careful what you wish for, it might come true
Long live, long live
Long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
There is no love to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love to shelter me, only love, love set me free
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?
The straps on my back
Red, crimson red, no, I was never to be
Only one crimson son, no, it never was me
Living in the limelight, little did I know
I was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul
It was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamed
But the dream became my nightmare, no one could hear me scream
With these six-strings, I make a noose
To take my life, it's time to choose
The headlines read of my demise, yeah, suicide, of my suicide
Oh, sweet silence, where is the sting?
I am no idol, no crimson king
I'm the impostor, the world has seen
My father was the idol, it was never me
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, no, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes
No love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free

You can't run away from me
Don't deny your blind believers
And hide your Devil's keeper
Take your love away from me

And ride us on your broken wings for love
True we are disciples lost

Look in my eyes and tell me why
You realize the price that you'll pay?

So crazy I just couldn't feel, no, no, no
Confusion would stand in the door and tell me lies

I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, come take a stand
Together we'll never say die
Oh I, I did not choose, the music chose me
I was christened and destined to be who I am
The one that they said would be damned
A hellion child that...?
I stand at the mirror and sing
I dare to be different and dream, now I am
Big thunder that rolls on the land forever wild
But still, this feeling inside never die
I'm a metal warrior, I need their cries, War Cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, Come take a stand
Together we'll never say die
Raise your fist and support your rebel outlaws
Cause nobody rides for free
The freedom we lose today, you lose tomorrow
Because freedom means something to us...
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ahh, come take a stand
Together we'll never say die

Teardrops fell the night you said
I love you, dear and you were wed
I watched you while you held her hand
Sand I bowed my head and cried again
I cried again when I reached home
Then stared your picture all alone
I've thought of things that might have been
And I bowed my head and cried again
I took your letters from the shelf
And read aloud just to myself
But just before I reached the end
And I bowed my head and cried again
I've thought of nights so long ago
And all the love I wanted so
And then the fate had took a hand
And I bowed my head and cried again
<@#Wanda_Jackson_Id_Fight_The_World.txt#@>
I don't care what anybody thinks of me
My pride is gone and here I am on bended knees
I want you and I need you that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go
I'd gladly beg I'd steal I'd borrow I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go

I'd gladly beg I'd steal I'd borrow...

Why must you treat me as if I were only a friend
What have I done that's made you so different and cold
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy when you are withered and old
I cannot offer you diamonds or mansions so fine
I cannot offer you clothes that your young body crave
But if you'll say that forever that you will be mine
Think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow you'll save
When you are weary and tired of another one's gold
When you are lonely remember this letter my own
Don't try to answer though I've suffered anguish untold
If you don't love me I wish you would leave me alone
While I am writing this letter I think of the past
And of the promises that you are breaking so free
But soon I'll bid my farewells to this whole world at last
I will be gone when you read this last letter from me

Birds was made to sit in a tree
You were made to dance with me
Here's your chance, now, don't go wrong
Gotta rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Rock your baby, all night long
Take me in your arms and whisper low
Then rock your baby and don't be slow
I got my hair fixed in a pony tail
So when we dance it'll really sail
If you love me, then tell me so
But rock your baby and don't be slow

Like a wildcat on a restless changing sea I'll never know why way you're

So I'll roll with the tide roll with the tide
Though the waves never seem to find the shore
I'll roll with the tide roll with the tide and I will till you don't want me

I'm your woman heaven helps me you're my man so stir the boat I'll hang on if

Though you're crazy I guess I'm crazy too so sail on sink or swim love I'm

Tears will be the chaser for your wine
You sit there and tell me how you'd like to be free
You're tired of bein' tied down to a home and family
You say you miss the bright lights along the great white way
Little do you realize the price you have to pay
Tears will be the chaser for your wine after you leave this love of mine
Bright lights and taverns that's where you'll spend your time
And tears will be the chaser for your wine
[ dobro ]
Before you make up your mind you really want to go
Stop and think it over there's something you don't know
When the part is over then what will you do
When you wanna come back there'll be no place for you
And tears will be the chaser...

(The things I might have been)
I might have been a helpless soul with nothing much in store
I might have been without a gold just dream and nothing more
I might have known a life alone but that's where you came in
Your lovin' arms have saved me from the things I might have been
I might have been a kind who roam a stranger everywhere
Or one of those for stay at home with no one's lips to share
But your sweet kiss has changed all this and made my life begin
Keep lovin' me don't let me be the things I might have been
The things I might have been

This land is your land this land is mine land from California to the New York

From redwood forrest to the gulf stream water this land was made for you and
me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley and this land was made for you and me
This land is your land this land is mine land...
This land is your land this land is mine land...
I've roamed and I've rambled I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of a diamond desert
And all around me a voice was sounding this land was made for you and me
This land is your land this land is mine land...
This land is your land this land is mine land...

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high handstand
And take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
I said:
Dance hall days love!
Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there, there, there
And take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
I said:

Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
We were so in phase

Hot on the run from the grip of the power game,
The man who leads the way, the man who leads the way.
Shell in its box from his home that they'll never tame,
The man who leads the way, the man who leads the way.
He is burning, burning in the twilight.
He is turning, turning to face us.
He is burning, fire in the twilight.
He is turning, turning to lead us away, away, away,
Lead us away, away, away.
Taking a break from the role of the everyday boy,
The man who leads the way, the man who leads the way.
Is he for real or is he back to the old way boy,
Can he lead the way, oh can he lead the way.
He's searching, but he's lonely, and he's hurting, but he's only,
Waiting for a chance just in time to live a life.
Does he need ya, does he want ya,
Does he listen to what you say?
Is he only waiting for the simple way?
He is burning, burning in the twilight.
He is turning, turning to face us.
He is burning, fire in the twilight.
He is turning, turning to lead us away, away, away,
Lead us away, away, away.

Meet me in a restaurant
Meet me on the top of the world
Meet me and we'll talk the language of love
I'll meet you anywhere you want
I'll meet you on a ballroom floor
Meet me and we'll float to a level above
I wish you'd drop what you're doing
And get on the case
We could blow this existence
Right out into space
And share a sweet isolation
Let's go there today
Go today, go today
Everyway, rightaway
Oh let's go

Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no more
There's no way, there's no way
No, no way
Meet you on a mountain top
Meet you at the end of the block
As long as we can talk the language of love
I'll take you in my arms again
I'll take you to the edge of time
Together we can reach for the heavens above
I wish you'd drop what you're doing
And get on the case
We could blow this existence
Right out into space
And share a sweet isolation
Let's go there today
Go today, go today
Everyway, rightaway

'Cause baby, I want your love
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on

Will you listen to me
I'm saying baby, come on now
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no more

Meet me on the dance floor and we'll dance to the rhythm
Get you feet in motion and we'll dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm of love
Oh,baby
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
'Cause baby, I want your love

Well I'm sitting on a hillside
On the warmer side of cool
With the future laid before me
Like a green and misty jewel
And to climb above the tree line
Is only for the fools
So they say
So they say
Chorus:
On the warmer side of cool
What you feel in your heart is all
On the warmer side of cool
Being cool it's so easy to be cold
Well I'm sitting by the seaside
On the warmer side of cool
With the ocean spread before me
Like a blue and misty jewel
And if I jump into the water
Would an angel break my fall
So they say
So they say
On the warmer side of cool
What you feel in your heart is all
I'm sorry if I offend you
If I'm a little bit intense
But I never did intend us
To be sitting on the fence
And even though I'm guilty
Of making total sense
I'm happy when it's all
On the warmer side of cool
Repeat chorus
It ain't cool to be cold

The phone don't ring
And the sun refused to shine
Never thought I'd have to pay so dearly
For what was already mine
For such a long, long time
We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder
The days slide by
Should have done, should have done, we all sigh
Never thought I'd ever be so lonely
After such a long, long time
Time out of mind
We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder

Hurry home early hurry on home

Seven weeks later he was back in the ring

If you can't take the punches, it don't mean a thing

Hurry home early hurry on home

When they asked him who was responsible
For the death of do Koo Kim

And told me it was him."
They made hypocrite judgements after the fact
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back

I can see me bound and gagged
Dragged behind the clownmobile
You can treat me like a dog
If you make me feel what others feel
You can train me, you can drain me
If you make me lose control
I will be your prisoner
I will be your hostage-o
I will be your prisoner
I will be your hostage-o
All you have to do is ask
I'll be happy to say yes
I'll put on the creepy mask
If you'll grant me some forgetfulness
You can strain me, you can maim me
You can chain me to the floor
I will be your prisoner
I will be your hostage-o
I will be your prisoner
I will be your hostage-o
And this loneliness--
Unbearable
And it all goes by so slow
I will stand in line
For the sacrifice
For the shamefaced love
Of the ugly vice
I will pay the price to see how far you'll go
Let me be your prisoner
Let me be your hostage-o
I can see me bound and gagged
Dragged behind the clownmobile
You can treat me like a dog
If you make me feel what others feel
You can sprain me, you can blame me
If you make me lose control

We keep walking away for no reason at all
And no one says a word
We were always so busy protecting ourselves
We never would have heard
And the rate of attrition for lovers like us
Is steadily on the rise
Nobody's in love this year
Not even you and I
Due to lack of commitment on both of our parts
We're going our separate ways
This show of indifference is breaking our hearts
It's making us crazy, yeah
You sit back and wait for your love to accrue
You'll be waiting a long, long time
Nobody's in love this year
Not even you and I
[Chorus]
I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable
I don't want to get hurt
I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable
I don't want to be the one who gets left behind
We keep walking away for no reason at all
For the sake of being free
No one's invested enough of themselves
To yield to maturity
And the rate of attrition for lovers like us
Is steadily on the rise
Nobody's in love this year
Nobody wants to try
Nobody's in love this year
Not even you and I

Darkness in the morning
Shadows on the land
Certain individuals
Aren't sticking with the plan
And I'm searching for a heart
Searching everyone
They say love conquers all
You can't start it like a car
You can't stop it with a gun
Leaving in the evening
Traveling at night
Staying inconspicuous
I'm staying out of sight
And I'm searching for a heart
Searching everyone
They say love conquers all
You can't start it like a car
You can't stop it with a gun
They tell me love requires a little standing in line
And I've been waiting for you, lover, for a long, long time
I've been pacing the floor
I've been watching the door
Meanwhile I'll keep searching for a heart
Searching high and low for you
Trying to track you down
Certain individuals
Have finally come around
And I'm searching for a heart
Searching everyone
They say love conquers all
You can't start it like a car
You can't stop it with a gun
They tell me love requires a little standing in line
And I've been waiting for you, lover, for a long, long time
I've been pacing the floor I've been watching the door
Meanwhile I'll keep searching for a heart
Searching everyone
They say love conquers all
You can't start it like a car

Every word is written down
Sunny skies are seldom seen
In the land of few and far between
And everybody wears a frown
Someone lost their squirting rose
There's his red nose on the ground
No one's seen his painted smile
He's been gone for quite a while
Something bad happened to a clown
Something bad happened to a clown
He used to honk his horn and everyone would laugh

She doesn't think he's very funny anymore
Footprints in the sawdust leading to the edge of town

Tumblin' on the seas
Far away from dry land
And it's bitter memories
Castin' out my sweet line
With abandonment and love
No ceiling bearin' down on me
Except the starry sky above
With light in my head
With you in my arms...
I wish I was the brakeman
On a hurtlin fevered train
Crashin head long into the heartland
Like a cannon in the rain
With the feelin of the sleepers
And the burnin of the coal
Countin the towns flashin by
And a night that's full of soul
With light in my head
With you in my arms...
And I know I will be loosened
From the bonds that hold me fast
And the chains all around me
Will fall away at last
And on that grand and fateful day
I will take thee in my hand
I will ride on a train
I will be the fisherman
With light in my head
You in my arms...
Light in my head
You in my arms...
Light in my head

I will meet you at the station when the train comes along
When the train, when the train
Meet me at the station when the train comes along
When the train, when the train comes along
Meet me at the station when the train comes along
When the train, when the train
Meet me at the station when the train comes along

Meet me at the station when the train comes along
Now if you see God's country before I do
Will you meet me at the station when my train comes along?
Will you be there watching, sister, for me?
Will you meet me at the station when my train comes along?
When my train, when my train
Meet me at the station when my train comes along
When my train, sister, when my train comes along
Will you meet me at the station when my train comes along?

Meet me at the station when my train comes along
When the train, oh, when the train
Meet me at the station when the train comes along
Meet me at the station when the train comes along
Meet me at the station when the train comes along

Well it's got nothing to do with anything that is real
You just believe in it and it's true
You can sooth like an angel or sigh like a saint
You can dream it and see it through
You will live to see a sea of lights
Sparking on the face of a pearl
Climb your own peak
Find a new streak
Get yourself along to the world party (party!)
Now you've been building for yourself a cool place in the sand
You're thinking that it's mighty fine
You've got dust in your eyeballs, you got mud in your mouth
But it's your head, it ain't mine
I've got a madman of my own to contend with
Cursing in the cave of my skull
Turn the other cheek
Find a new streak
Get yourself along to the world party (party!)
Well I heard a rumour of a golden age
Somewhere back along the line
Maybe I dreamed it in a whisper or
Heard it in a spell
It was something to do with the sign of the times
And the only thing that I remember
Is a summer like a pretty girl
Who shimmers and shines
Moving in time
Shaking to the beat of the heart of the world
Party (party! party! party! party! party! party! party! party! party!)
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Abilene.txt#@>
Abilene, Abilene,
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene.
I sit alone most every night
Watch those trains pull out of sight
Don't I wish they were carrying me
Back to Abilene, my Abilene.
Abilene, Abilene,
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene.
Crowded city, ain't nothing free
Nothing in this old town for me
Wish to the Lord that I could be
In Abilene, sweet Abilene.
Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene
<@#Waylon_Jennings_All_Around_Cowboy.txt#@>
Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck been through the best of his
friends
On a long lonesome highway in an old pickup truck
Crossed Texas like a hot dusty wind
He was all around cowboy back in1949 from the top it's been long way down
Since the whiskey and the women started winnin' his time
They rode him high and hard to the ground
He remembers the thrill of bein' a winner in the days of his first rodeo
But there's somethin' about winning that didn't last forever
Maybe tomorrow things'll get better if devil lets loose of his soul
He'll be be the all around cowboy again
[ ac.guitar ]
So he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow
Whipes the whiskers that cover his chin
And he grins as he dreams of old rodeo he's the all around cowboy again
He remembers the thrill...
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Another_Mans_Fool.txt#@>
Don't sing them songs about the open road
I lost too many rainbows chasing pots of gold
I still remember what my baby said
It's still a knockin' around in back of my head
[Chorus]
She said, I'm gonna lock the doors around about midnight
Put bars on the window like a zoo
You ain't the man that reaches up to turn out my light
You're just another man's fool
Just another man's fool
I left this morning had just one more chance
She caught me leaving by the seat of my pants
She said go on get out and have a good time
Don't bother coming home if you can't bring me mine
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Clyde.txt#@>
Clyde plays electric bass plays it with finesse and grace
Set on the porch ain't got no shoes pickin' the bass and singin' the blues
Misery loves company this old dog sings harmony
Tambourine tied to his tail you can hear him moan you can hear him wail yeah
Jodie baby she got the dollar down the road you can hear her holler
Get up Clyde we got things to do that old dog's singin' the blues
He don't move he don't flinch Clyde he don't move an inch
Set on the porch ain't got no shoes pickin' the bass and singin' the blues
Clyde played electric bass
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Deep_In_The_West.txt#@>
Deep in the west where the tall mountains grow I've gone home
Where the heavens above turn red from the fire down below
Are you listening to me when I'm talking to you
Said together we're one divided we're through
Divided we're through
Silver friend at night yellow friend you come with the dawn
Back in my heart I've been drying my eyes see me run
So you hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Said together we're one divided we're through
Divided we're through
Refusing to talk I suppose that it's all for love's sake
And learning to give that's important before you can take from me
Are you listening to me when I'm talking to you
Said together we're one divided we're through
So you hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Said together we're one divided we're through
Divided we're through
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Defying_Gravity.txt#@>
I live on a big blue ball
I never do dream I would fall
But even the day that I do
I'll jump off and smile back at you
We don't even know where we are
But they say that we're circling a star
Well, I'll take their word, I don't know
But I'm dizzy so maybe that's so.
I'm riding a big blue ball
And never do dream I would fall
But even the high may lay low
So when I do fall I'll be glad to go.

Surely you know by now my heart is wild I don't want to be tied down it ain't

Sweet dream baby,

How long must I dream.
Dream baby, got me dreamin'
Aweet dreams the whole day through.

Sweet dreams in nighttime too.
I love you and I'm dreamin' of you

And make my dreams come true.

<@#Waylon_Jennings_Drinkin_And_Dreamin.txt#@>
Everybody's looking for someway in
I'm looking for someway out
I've been wasting my time, standing in line
If this is what it's all about
All I've got is a job that I don't like
And a woman that don't understand
So tonight in the bar, I'll get in my car
And take off for the promise land
[Chorus]
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go
I'll never see Texas, L.A., or ol' Mexico
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind
Drink till I'm dreaming a thousand miles out of my mind
This suit and this tie is just a disguise
This ain't really me
Some people were born to be tied down
Some people were born to be free
When I look down the road she don't know
How it gets under my skin
She's got my body but my heart and soul
Are out there riding the wind
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Drivin_Nails_In_The_Wall.txt#@>
Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall thinking I hear someone in my hall
She said that she'd be back in no time at all here I sit drivin' nails in the
wall
In the dark that stacks around me dreams of you keep pounding me
Leading me to where I've never been
And the voice keeps telling me this could be insanity but I know my name as
well as you
Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall...
In the wilted patterns of my mind find that I've left you behind
Sowing up my torn memories
Surviving living three bed room electric kitchen and living room
Just burning and it's on a new free way
Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall thinking I hear someone in my hall
She said that she'd be back in no time at all
When she is back I'm gonna nail to the wall
<@#Waylon_Jennings_For_Lovin_Me.txt#@>
That's what you get for lovin' me that's what you get for lovin' me
Everything we had is gone if you can see that's what you get for lovin' me
Don't you shed a tear for me I ain't the love you thought I'd be
I've had a hundred just like you but don't be blue
I'll have a thousand before I'm through
That's what you get for lovin' me...
[ guitar ]
There you go you're cryin' again you should have known how things would end
But someday when your poor heart is on the mend I just might pass this way
again
That's what you get for lovin' me...
That's what you get for lovin' me
<@#Waylon_Jennings_I_Do_Believe.txt#@>
[Chorus:]
In my own way I'm a believer
In my own way right or wrong
I don't talk too much about it
It's something I keep working on
I don't have too much to build on
My faith has never been that strong
There's a man in that old building
He's a holy man, they say
He keeps talking about tomorrow
While I keep struggling with today
He preaches hell, fire and brimstone
And heaven seems so far away
I do believe in a higher power
One that loves us one and all
Not someone to solve our problems
Or to catch me when I fall
He gave us all a mind to think with
And to know what's right or wrong
He is that inner spirit
That keeps us strong
[Chorus]
<@#Waylon_Jennings_I_Got_The_Train_Sittin_Waitin.txt#@>
I took my woman down to the local depot
From there to anywhere if you want to you can go
I said now pretty momma I've had myself enough
Of your fussing and your fighting and it's sure gonna get rough
[Chorus]
I got the train sittin' waitin'
Leaving right on time
So if you want to go,better get aboard
But you be the one to make up your mind
I've tried to love you woman every way I know how
But you keep on a naggin' and I've had it starting now
If you don't like the way you're living you know what you can do
Said the trains sitting there it's a big black choo-choo
I got the train sittin' waitin'
Leaving right on time
So if you want to go,get yourself aboard
But you be the one to make up your mind
Well, I looked up at the schedule and it said nine thirteen
The central is a leaving all the lights are turning green
The whistle is a blowin' here's your ticket and your pass
The door is open wide so don't let your coat tail drag
[Chorus]
<@#Waylon_Jennings_I_Just_Cant_Wait.txt#@>
When I was one, till I was three
My mom and dad took care of me
Now I'm four and the world's alive
And I just can't wait until I'm five.
I just can't wait until I'm five.
When I am six there is a rule
Kids like me all start to school
Somewhere between seven and eight
I'll start to grow and I just can't wait.
I'll start to grow and I just can't wait.
Nine is weird as it can be
My brother's nine and he picks on me
But I just can't wait until I'm ten
I'll be completely grown by then.
I'll be completely grown by then
<@#Waylon_Jennings_I_Lost_Me.txt#@>
You tear me down a hundred times a day I've cried enough to wash the world
away
I've tried so hard to be what you've wanted me to be
'Til somewhere along the way I lost me
To give and keep on giving I have learned
There's no way but yours where you're concerned
I tried till finally I lost my own identity and somewhere along the way I lost
me
Somewhere along the way I lost the man I used to be
A man who smiled enjoyed life loved you with all of me
You'd never once considered how I felt so go ahead and live my life yourself
I've tried so hard to be what you wanted me to be
Somewhere along the way I lost me somewhere along the way I lost me
<@#Waylon_Jennings_I_Walk_The_Line.txt#@>
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the ties that bind
Because you're mine I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself by myself when each day is through
I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine I walk the line
I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, let me, I walk in the line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
<@#Waylon_Jennings_If_Shell_Leave_Her_Mama.txt#@>
She left the cradle when she learned to crawl
With mama on the front porch she walked off
Headed for the city in a pair of high heeled shoes
And if she'll leave her mama, son, she'll sure leave you
Don't take it so hard and blame yourself
'Cause you ain't the first one that she ever left
She loves her mama but she loves a good time too
And if she'll leave her mama, son, she'll sure leave you
Oh, you can give her love and you give her hell
No matter what you give her, she wants somethin' else
You know she's gonna do exactly what she wants to
And if she'll leave her mama, son, she'll sure leave you
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Ill_Find_It_Where_I_Can.txt#@>
Ah! It's just another wasted mornin'
While I'm holdin' up the wall
Too much tequila makes me wonder
Why I'm headin' home at all
Get that honky tonk feelin'
Every time your arms grow cold
I suppose that's the reason
I need a home away from home
So I'll say one more time
And I hope you'll understand
If I can't find it in your arms, babe
I'm gonna find it where I can
I can't refuse them lonely women
Lord, I know just how they feel
I suppose that's the reason
What you been givin' me makes me feel
Honey, I'm gettin' that honky tonk feelin'
Every time your arms grow cold
And I suppose that's the reason
I need a home away from home
So I'll say it one more time, one more time
And I hope you'll understand
If I can't find it in your arms, babe
I'm gonna find it where I can
If I can't find it in your arms, babe
I'm gonna find it where I can

If anyone ever finds a better way to love
It'll be her,loving me
If anyone ever goes out of their way to show they care
It'll be her,loving me

She's every women I've ever known rolled up in one
If I'm ever loved anymore,she'll be the one
To get it done,the way it should be
It'll be her,loving me

If ever I'm down and out and need someone to love
It'll be her,loving me
When everyone else is cold and i need someone warm to hold
It'll be her,loving me
[Chorus(x2)]
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Its_Alright.txt#@>
J. J. Cale's my hero, best I ever heard
But you gotta sing a little louder, hoss, 'cause I can't hear the words
Some folks call it rock and roll, others call it blues
But I detect a country soul, when I seen his cowboy shoes
And it's alright
It's alright
It may not be right, but it's alright
George might show up flyin' high, if George shows up at all
But he may be, unconsciously, the greatest of them all
From the Beatles and me in Nashville, to the billies and the Rolling Stones
If we all sounded like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones
And it's alright
It's alright
It may not be right, but it's alright
Jesse she's my woman boys, poor little ugly thing
She tells me just how smart I am, so I'll teach her how to sing
When I'm wrong and then she nails me, I get her with the same old line
And it's alright
It's alright
It may not be right, but it's alright
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Ive_Always_Been_Crazy.txt#@>
I've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through
And busted for things that I did, and I didn't do
I can't say I'm proud of all of the things that I've done
But I can say I've never intentionally hurt anyone
I've always been different with one foot over the line
Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Beautiful lady are you sure that you understand
The chances your taking loving a free living man
Are you really sure you really want what you see
Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to blame
So, far I ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Just_To_Satisfy_You.txt#@>
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Someone's gonna pay for the things you do
How many hearts must break,how many will it take
To satisfy you,just to satisfy you
Another love,another fool
To play your game
Another love,another fool
They're all the same
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Don't be surprised if that someone is you
You're gonna find when it's too late,a heart that just won't break
To satisfy you,just to satisfy you
How many tears were cried,how many dreams have died
To satisfy you,just to satisfy you
<@#Waylon_Jennings_Lay_It_Down.txt#@>
[Verse 1:]
Traveling down on different roads
Trying hard to leave the load
We take it there but we can't let go
It's so hard to lay it down
[Verse 2:]
Back in Eden we were tried
Found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom that she denied
Trying hard to lay it down
[Chorus:]
Lay it down brother,lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down
[Verse 3:]
Hide in me,confide in me
Don't you think it's time to be
Everything we tried to be
You and me sould lay it down
[Verse 4:]
Speak to me,be unashamed
There's no need in playing games
After all we're all the same
Just trying hard to lay it down
[Chorus.]
[Verse 5:(a tone higher)]
Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I could break the shell
Take us from ourself made well
Find a way to lay it down
[Verse 6:(a tone higher)]
Burdened by the things I've learned
Hurting because I'm too concerned
Nonetheless I confess I yearn
To find a way to lay it down
[Chorus bis:(a tone higher)]
Lay it down,lay it down
Wish that I could lay it down

And all the while
You wanted to leave

Go gather the guns.
We'll blast them at sea.
She begged for me not to shoot,
"For my true love is here with me."

Oh, I can't blame you

My love walks right to your door
There ain't no hope for me anymore
Ah ha ha ha... yeah

Only love can ease the pain
Of a boy caught in the rain
Only hope will remember
Burning flames in December
Only love
Only love...
Only faith can bring to life
One who falls by the wayside
Only trust can inspire
A soggy nose to breathe fire
Only love
Only love...
It's only natural
The moon is just half full
We give our best away
We give our best away
Only love...
Only trust can inspire
A soggy nose to breathe fire
Only love
Only love...
Only love
Only love...

City streets at night
Can be so intimidating
I'm not the toughest guy
I gotta keep my eyes open
You came out of nowhere
[Chorus:]
Man you really freak me out
I'm so afraid of you
And when I lose my cool
I don't know what to do
I know you don't mean no harm
Your just doing your thing
But man you really freak me out
Did I hurt you?
Are you okay?
Can I buy you a drink?
Ohhh what's the world coming to?
You came out of nowhere
[Chorus]
I'm gonna try to improve my manners (manners)
Everyone, yes everyone, is my friend!
City streets at night (city streets at night)
City streets at night (city streets at night)
'Til the morning light ('til the morning light)
City streets at night (city streets at night)

<@#Weezer_Haunt_You_Everyday.txt#@>
I don't feel the joy
I don't feel the pain
You were just adored
I am just insane
Walking on my own
Leaving you behind
You were crying out
That you need to speak your mind
[Chorus:]
Ohhh
So alone in love
So alone at night
I'm gonna haunt you everyday
Haunt you everyday
I am gonna kill
When I need a thrill
Beating at the heart
Until I've had my fill
When will stupid learn?
Fires gonna burn
Think of consequence
Then you move when it your turn
[Chorus:]
Walking on my own
Leaving you behind
You were crying out
That you need to speak your mind
[Chorus:]
Haunt you everyday
<@#Weezer_In_The_Garage.txt#@>
I've got a Dungeon Master's Guide
I've got a twelve-sided die
I've got Kitty Pryde
And Nightcrawler too
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
I've got posters on the wall
My favorite rock group Kiss
I've got Ace Frehley
I've got Peter Criss
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
[Chorus:]
In the garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the garage
I've got an electric guitar
I play my stupid songs
I write these stupid words
And I love every one
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
[Chorus: Repeat 3X]
<@#Weezer_Pardon_Me.txt#@>
I tried my best
I gave my all
Sometimes my best wasn't good enough
For you
Sometimes I let you go
Sometimes I hurt you so
I know that I can be the meanest person in the world
[Chorus:]
So I apologize to you
And to anyone else that I hurt too
I may not be the perfect soul
But I can't learn self control
So pardon me! pardon me! pardon me my friend!
I never thought
That anyone
Was more important than the plans
I made
But now I feel the shame
There's no one else to blame
For all the broken hearts scattered on the field of war
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I let you go
Sometimes I hurt you sooo!
I know that I can be the meanest person in the world..
[Chorus:]
So pardon me
Pardon me
Pardon me my friend
Pardon meeeee
My friendddd
Pardon meee
My frienddd...
<@#Weezer_Peace.txt#@>
More and more I can't say no
So afraid of letting go
If there's something I can grab
You can bet I'll pay the tab
Counting all the flowers
Waste the precious hours
I need to find some peace
All these problems on my mind
Make it hard for me to think
There is no way I can stop
My poor brain is gonna pop
And I don't have a purpose
Scattered on the surface
I need to find some peace
Woah
And all the broken tethers
We can bring together
I need to find some peace
I need to find some peace
I need to find some peace
<@#Weezer_Pork_And_Beans.txt#@>
They say I need some rogaine to put in my hair
Work it out at the gym to fit my underwear
Oakley makes the shades to transform a tool
You'd hate for the kids to think that you've lost your cool
[Chorus]
I'ma do the things that I wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if I make a scene
I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think
Everyone likes to dance to a happy song
With a catchy chorus and beat so they can sing along
Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts
Maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art
[Chorus]
No, I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
[Chorus]

<@#Weird_Al_Yankovic_Buckingham_Blues.txt#@>
Gonna tell you a story
About Chuck and Diane.
Couple British kids from
The palace at Buckingham.
Chuckie wants to grow up
And be a polo star,
And ride his little horsies
All around the backyard. (oh yeah)
You know they really paid their dues.
I said hey, lawdy mama.
They got them Buckingham blues.
Now Chuckie goes hunting,
And leaves Diane alone.
So she fixes her hair,
And she talks on the Princess Phone.
Chuckie's still tryin' to figure out
What his job's supposed to be,
And Diane's the fashion leader
Of the aristocracy.
I said hey, Lady Di,
Tell me where'd you get them shoes? Ah,
Well hey nonny nonny,
Looks like you got them Buckingham blues.
Aw, bein' heir to the throne, well
It must be awful hard.
Gotta pose for pictures
Out on the front yard.
And Lady Di, well,
She must have it pretty rough.
Gotta hang around the house all day,
Makin' babies and stuff.
Another game of croquet,
Then they're off on a Caribbean cruise.
Well hey bop-a-re-bop,
They really got them Buckingham blues.
(Ah, tell it to me, now tell it to--wow!
Ah got my mojo workin'!)
They don't serve no Twinkees
With their afternoon tea.
Never had a dinner
Made by Chef Boy-ar-Dee.
Bein' in the spotlight
Is a hard life to choose.
Diane drops half a pound,
It's on the six o'clock news. Ah yeah,
Those kids have really paid their dues.
Aw, what a royal pain it is,
When you got them Buckingham blues.

I'm gonna need some fillings
Got twelve cavities
Can you help me
Have mercy
Doctor, please

Got a huge overbite
Numb me, drill me
Floss me, bill me
You jab at my nerve endings
It's driving me insane
Just give me nitrous oxide
Shoot me up with novocaine
Help me out here
'Cause I'm in severe
Pain
Please stop for a bit
Now let me rinse and spit
Numb me, drill me
Floss me, bill me
You validate my parking

But you my one more appointment for
A week from Saturday
'Cause you came upon
A little problem on

Well, I hope I'm insured, now

<@#Weird_Al_Yankovic_Everything_You_Know_Is_Wrong.txt#@>
I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane
With a rabid wolverine in my underwear
When suddenly a guy behind me in the back seat
Popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes
I guessed, "Is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie?
Is it Bob or Joe or Walter?
Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed or Bernie or Steve?"
I probably would have kept on guessing
But about that time we crashed into the truck
And as I'm laying bleeding there on the asphalt
Finally I recognize the face of my hibachi dealer
Who takes off his prosthetic lips and tells me
Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong
I was walkin' to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams
When I accidentally stepped into a alternate dimension
And soon I was abducted by some aliens from space
Who kinda looked like Jamie Farr
They sucked out my internal organs
And they took some Polaroids and said I was a darn good sport
And as a way of saying thank you
They offered to transport me back to any point in history that I would care to
go
And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night
So I could pay my phone bill on time
Just then the disembodied head of Colonel Sanders started yelling
Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong
I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin
When I got a nasty paper cut
And, well, to make a long story short
It got infected and I died
So now I'm up in heaven with St. Peter by the pearly gates
And it's obvious he doesn't like the Nehru jacket that I'm wearing
He tells me that they've got a dress code
Well, he lets me into heaven anyway
But I get the room next to the noisy ice machine for all eternity
And every day he runs by screaming
Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong
<@#Weird_Al_Yankovic_Generic_Blues.txt#@>
I woke up this morning
Then I went back to bed
Said I woke up this morning
Then I went right back to bed
Got a funny kind of feelin' like I got broken glass in my underwear
And a herd of wild pigs is trying to chew off my head
You know what I'm sayin'
Well I ain't got not money
I'm just walkin' down the road
Said I ain't got no money, honey
So I'm just walking down this lonely old road
Well, I wish I could get me some money
But I forgot my automated teller code
I was born in a paper sack in the bottom of a sewer
I had to eat dirt clods for breakfast, my family was so poor
My daddy was a waitress, my mama sold bathroom tiles
My brothers and sisters all hated me 'cause I was an only child
I got the blues so bad, woo
Kinda wish I was dead
Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama
Or maybe I'll, yeah maybe I'll just go bowlin' instead
I'm just a no good, scum sucking, nose picking, boot licking,
Sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime
Nothing but a low-down beer bellied, bone headed, pigeon toed,
Turkey necked, weasel faced, worthless hunk of slime
Guess I pretty low self image
Maybe it's a chemical imbalance or something, I
I should probably go and see a doctor about it when I've got the time
Make it talk
Aw, make it talk, son, make it talk
OK, now make it shut up
Plagues and famine and pestilence always seem to get me down
I always feel so miserable whenever I'm around
I wish somebody would come along, stick a pitchfork through my brain
I'd flush myself right down the toilet, but I'd just clog up the drain
I got the blues so bad
Kinda wish I was dead
Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama
Or maybe I'll go bowling
Or I just might go bowling
Maybe I'll just rent some shoes and go bowling
Maybe I'll join a league, enter a tournament, put on a stupid looking
Shirt and go bowling instead
Yeah

I was burning up the floor like a disco maniac
When my woman said, "Baby, why's your hand behind you back?"

<@#Weird_Al_Yankovic_Isle_Thing.txt#@>
Met this fine young thing
At the local Circle K
We made a date for a half past eight
And I said, "What the hey?"
So I journeyed to her crib
And I let myself inside
That chick was slouched down on the couch
I think her brain was fried
Couldn't figure it out
She wouldn't even look at me
Then I saw her eyes, she was hypnotized
Cold glued to her TV
"Hey, what's your problem baby doll
Let's have a little fling"
She said, "Hey you fool, now just be cool
I'm watchin' that Gilligan's Isle thing"
Isle thing
Isle thing, isle thing, isle thing
Watchin' all night
Musta, been a marathon
I was bummin', those shows kept comin'
Here's what was goin' on
These castaways were stranded
On this island out at sea
One of them called Gilligan
So let's name him after m
He'd mess up every rescue
Man, that first mate was illin'
If I was one of those castaways
I think I'd probably kill 'I'm
Just about that time
Telephone began to ring
She said, "Just let it, my machine'll get
We're watchin' the Gilligan's Isle thing
Isle thing
She loves that Gilligan's Isle thing
Isle thing, isle thing, isle thing
Please, baby, baby, please
I like the professor
He always saves their butts
He could build a nuclear reactor
From a couple of coconuts
She said, "That guy's a genius"
I shook my head and laughed
I said, "If he's so fly, they tell me why
He couldn't build a lousy raft"
And while we're on the subject
I'll tell you one thing for sure
Those homeboys brought an awful lot
For just a three hour tour
Then her mom came in the room
It was kind of embarrassing
She said, "Hey you two, I was once like you
And I loved that Gilligan's Isle thing"
Isle thing
She'd watch that Gilligan's Isle thing
Please, baby, baby, please
Skipper's in a hammock
He's looking kinda fat
He'd throw a fit and then he'd hit
Old Gilligan with his hat
Mr.. Hal had it goin' on
But Mr. Hal was meaner
Ginger and Mary Anne could've used
Some funky cold medina (?)
I was really diggin' this show
I didn't know what to do
It kinda looked like I was hooked
Now I'm an addict too
I know each episode by heart
Now I'm the rerun king
And on every date we both stay up late
And we watch the Gilligan's Isle thing
Isle thing
Hasta la vista, little buddy
Gilligan's Isle thing, isle thing, isle thing

Since you've been gone
Well, I feel like I've been chewing on tinfoil
Since you've been gone
It's like I got a great big mouthful of cod liver oil
Oh well, I'm feelin' like I stuck my hand
Inside a blender and turned it on
You know, I've been in a butt load of pain
Since you've been gone
(Since you've been gone)
I couldn't feel any worse if you dropped
A two-ton bowling ball on my toes
(Since you've been gone)
It couldn't hurt anymore if you shoved
A red-hot cactus up my nose
Since you've been gone
Well, it feels like I'm getting tetanus shots every day
Since you've been gone
It's like I've got an ice cream headache that won't go away
Ever since the day you left me
I've been so miserable, my dear
I feel almost as bad as I did

I had to go inside to use the phone.

I didn't know it was a loading zone.
What a bummer, I is so brought down.
I had to chase that tow truck a over town, yellin'

Took my baby to the local disco.
I was jumpin' like a maniac.
But the owner came and pulled me off the floor. Then
He took me to his little office in the back.
He said, "I really like your snaggletooth necklace.
Your pants are groovy, and your hair's okay.
But, man, that car of yours is so uncool.
Like wow, I'm sorry, but we towed it away!"
Stop draggin' my

Now I'm at home. I'm watchin' "Gilligan's Island."
Guess it's time to trade my old car in.
For twenty dollars and my '64 Plymouth,
Maybe I could get a second-hand Schwinn.
Look out the window, there's a
Tow truck in the driveway.
I grabbed the driver and I asked him why.
He said, "I'm sorry, kid, you're late with the payments.
It's time to kiss your little car goodbye."

<@#Weird_Al_Yankovic_That_Boy_Could_Dance.txt#@>
We all used to call him Jimmy the Geek
He was a dumb-lookin', scrawny, little four-eyed freak
He never used to hang around with the guys
He'd just sit in the corner, attractin' the flies
He wasn't much to look at
He never was very bright
But at least there was one thing that he could do all right
That boy could dance
He was kind of a jerk
He was kind of a bore
But the women would scream when he walked in the door
'cause one thing I could tell you for sure
That boy could dance
Picking teams, he would always be last
He couldn't run very far,
He couldn't think very fast
If he was on your side, you'd always lose
The guy had a problem, even tying his shoes
He never passed his drivers test
He was always afraid of cars
And he had a complexion that resembled the surface of Mars
But that boy could dance
Well, his hair was a mess
And his clothes didn't fit
He smelled pretty bad, and he drooled just a bit
But you gotta admit
Boy, that boy could dance
Now that boy is much older
He's got his own dance studio
He's got a teeny bopper fan club
Yeah, he's got his own TV show
Now he owns half of Montana
They all call him "Diamond Jim"
And you know I'd do anything if I could be just like him
'cause that boy could dance
<@#Weird_Al_Yankovic_The_Saga_Begins.txt#@>
A long long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the Federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy
Oh my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi,
Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force they say
Ah, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I know he built C3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I know who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy
We started singin', my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the force?
They interviewed the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said, "Now listen here
Just stick it in your pointy ear
I still will teach this boy"
He was singin' my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi,
Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We caught a ride back to Naboo
Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gungans died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy
And I was singin', my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi
Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singin', my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Fat and weak, what a disgrace
Guess the champ got too lazy
Ain't gonna fly now he's just takin' up space
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain
But he's no bum, he works down the street
He bought the neighborhood deli
Back on his feet, now he's choppin' up meat
Come inside maybe you'll hear him say
Try the rye or the kaiser they're our special tonight
If you want you can have an appetizer
You might like our salami and the liver's all right
And they'd really go well with the rye or the kaiser
Never eats while on the job
He heard it's good to stay hungry
But he makes a pretty mean shishkabob
Have a taste they were made fresh today
Try the rye or the kaiser or the wheat or the white
Maybe I can suggest an appetizer
Stay away from the tuna it smells funny tonight
But you just can't go wrong with the rye or the kaiser
So today, his deli comes first
Still he dreams of his past days of glory
Goes in the back and beats up on the liverwurst
All the while you can still hear him say
It's the rye or the kaiser, it's the thrill of one bite
Let me please be your catering advisor
If you want substitutions I won't put up a fight
You can have your roast beef on the rye or the kaiser
The rye or the kaiser
The rye or the kaiser
The rye or the kaiser
<@#Weird_Al_Yankovic_Trigger_Happy.txt#@>
Got an AK-47, well you know it makes me feel alright
Got an Uzi by my pillow, helps me sleep a little better at night
There's no feeling any greater
Than to shoot first and ask questions later
Now I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day
Well, you can't take my guns away, I got a constitutional right
Yeah, I gotta be ready if the Commies attack us tonight
I'll blow their brains out with my Smith and Wesson
That ought to teach them all a darn good lesson
Now I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day
(Oh yeah, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I'm so)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away
Oh, I accidentally shot daddy last night in the den
I mistook him in the dark for a drug-crazed Nazi again
Now why'd you have to get so mad?
It was just a lousy flesh wound, Dad
You know, I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day
Oh, I still haven't figured out the safety on my rifle yet
Little Fluffy took a round, better take him to the vet
I filled that kitty cat so full of lead
We'll have to use him for a pencil instead
Well, I'm so trigger happy, trigger happy every day
(Oh yeah, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I'm so)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away
Come on and grab your ammo
What have you got to lose?
We'll all get liquored up
And shoot at anything that moves
Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight
Oh, I'm prayin' somebody tries to break in here tonight
I always keep a Magnum in my trunk
You better ask yourself, do you feel lucky, punk?
Because I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day
(Oh yeah, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy

How can I just let you walk away,
Just let you leave without a trace,
When I'm standing taking every breath,
With you, ooohhh,
You're the only one who really knew me,
At all.
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave,
Cause we shared the laughter and the pain,
And even shared the tears,
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space,
There's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face,
So take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space,
If you're coming back to me it's against the odds,
And that's what I've got to face.
I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry,
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why,
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space,
There's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face,
So take a look at me now,
So there's just an empty space,
But to wait for you is all I can do,
When that's what I've got to face.
Take a good look at me now,
Cause I'll be standing here,
(Mark: Standing here)
And you coming back to me is against the odds,
And that's the chance I've got to take.
Got to take
Got to take
Ooh
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now.
<@#Westlife_All_Out_Of_Love.txt#@>
I am lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you're hurt too
But what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know
[Chorus]
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that
I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh, so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on?
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
[Chorus]
Oh, what are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
[Chorus]
<@#Westlife_Angels_Wings.txt#@>
I would die for you
Lay down my life for you
The only thing that means everything to me
'Cause when you're in my arms
You make me prouder
Than anything I ever could achieve
And you make everything that used to seem so big
Seem to be so small since you arrived
On Angel's Wings, an angelical formation
Angel's wings, like letters in the sky
Now I know no matter what the question
Love is the answer, it's written on Angel's Wings
And I often wonder why, someone as flawed as I
Deserves to be as happy as you make me
So as the years roll by
I'll be there by your side
I'll follow you wherever your heart takes me
'Cause you make everything that used to be so big
Seem to be so small since you arrived
On Angel's Wings, an angelical formation
Angel's wings, like letters in the sky
Now I know no matter what the question
Love is the answer, it's written on Angel's Wings
Now anyone who's felt the touch of heaven in their lives
Will know the way I'm feeling looking in my baby's eyes
That's why I can't bear to be too far away
I know that God must love me cause he sent you to me on Angel's Wings

Eyes
Like a sunrise
Like a rainfall
Down my soul
And I wonder
I wonder why you look at me like that
What you're thinking
What's behind
Don't tell me
But it feels like love
[Chorus]
I'm gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I'm gonna give my heart away
And pray we'll stay together
Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl that I need
Cause you're more beautiful than I have ever seen
I'm gonna take this night
And make it evergreen
Touch
Like an angel
Like velvet to my skin
And I wonder
Wonder why you wanna stay the night
What you're dreaming
What's behind
Don't tell me
But it feels like love

(Oh yeah don't tell me
But it feels like love)
I'm gonna take this moment
And make it last forever

You're the only girl that I need
Cause you're more beautiful than I have ever seen

<@#Westlife_Fragile_Heart.txt#@>
A fragile heart, was broken before,
I don't think it could endure another pain,
But there's a voice from deep inside of you,
That's calling out to make you realize,
That this new bond gives inspiration,
To all that feel no love appeal no more,
So how can I break this wall around you,
That's aiding both our hearts to grow in pain.
So forget your past,
And we can dream tomorrow,
Save our hearts for care and loving too,
It's hard I know, but oh one thing's for sure,
Don't go and break this fragile heart.
A hurting mind in need of emotion,
I don't think I could endure another pain,
But baby in you I've found affection,
Affection I have never felt before.
So don't let your past,
Destroy what comes tomorrow,
Don't go and break this fragile heart.
With all this fire that burns between us,
There's so much to lose,
Yet so much more to gain,
And if I could choose the world around me,
The world I choose would all revolve around you,
So help me complete the game inside me,
And help to mend this fragile heart

<@#Westlife_How_Does_It_Feel.txt#@>
True lovers never take it slowly
When they've found the one and only
Nothing can replace this feeling
Knowing someone loves you
It's painted with the pain and glory
Taking from a known sad story
Laying out my life before me
Fearing the unknown
Sharing never showed me much appeal
And now I'm only praying it's for real
So how does it feel
When I hold you in my arms
And you're lying next to me
Never wanting you to leave
Until I'll tell you how it feels
To be cradled like my dreams
And to know that you love me
No more wasting time in asking other people
How does it feel
How does it feel
Forever taken you for granted
You give me everything I wanted
I'm so afraid that I might lose you
But time will let us see
If everything is real I'm feeling
Well maybe we've been only dreaming
And if it's gonna die to save it
'cause baby I believe
Nothing in the world could make it right
'cause baby loving you brings me to life
And how does it feel
When I hold you in my arms
And you're lying next to me
Never wanting you to leave
Until I'll tell you how it feels
To be cradled like my dreams
And to know that you love me
No more wasting time in asking other people
How does it feel
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Nothing in the world could feel this right
'cause baby you're the best thing in my life
How does it feel
When I hold you in my arms
And you're lying next to me
Never wanting you to leave
Until I'll tell you how it feels
To be cradled like my dreams
And to know that you love me
No more wasting time in asking other people
How does it feel

The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me

I wanna die lying in your arms

From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time

He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
Said daddy when you coming home
He said the first thing that came to his mind

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground

And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there
She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that Ill be in your dreams tonight
And Ill gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes

I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And Ill be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
We may be a thousand miles apart
But Ill be with you wherever you are

I'm already there
Take a look around

And Ill be there until the end

When all your hopes are sinking

We can do anything, anything
Anything, anything
Keep believin' in the power
[Chorus]
<@#Westlife_Maybe_Tomorrow.txt#@>
Cant believe its over
That you're leaving
Weren't we meant to be?
Should've sensed the danger
Read the warnings
Right there in front of me
Just stop
Lets start it over
Couldn't I get one more try?
Maybe tomorrow you'll say that you're mine
You'll realize, I could change
I'm gonna show you I'm in it for life
I'll get you back someday
Maybe tomorrow
I forgot to be there
I was selfish
I can see that now
I should've got to known you
Should've held you
When your tears fell down
Just stop
Don't make me beg you
Tell me that you'll stay the night
Maybe tomorrow you'll say that you're mine
You'll realize, I could change
I'm gonna show you I'm in it for life
I'll get you back someday
I will find a way
Wait a minute
Just hear me out
This time I promise, I'll put you first
Turn around now
Your heart can't let you walk away
I'll do what it takes
Maybe tomorrow you'll say that you're mine
You'll realize (realize), I could change (I can change)
I'm gonna show you I'm in it for life
I'll get you back someday
Maybe tomorrow
There's so much I wanna say now
I just wanna make a life with you (don't walk away)
There's so much I wanna do now
I just wanna make love to you
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
<@#Westlife_Miss_You.txt#@>
I can't sleep, I just can't breathe
When your shadow is all over me, baby
Don't wanna be a fool in your eyes
'Cause what we had was built on lies
And when our love seems to fade away
Listen to me hear what I say
I don't wanna feel the way that l do
I just wanna be right here with you
I don't wanna see, see us apart
I just wanna say it straight from my heart
"I miss you"
What would it take for you to see
To make you understand that I'll always believe
You and I can make it through
And I still know I can't get over you
'Cause when our love seems to fade away
Listen to me hear what I say
I don't wanna feel the way that I do
I just wanna be right here with you
I don't wanna see, see us apart
I just wanna say it straight from my heart
"Oh baby I miss you, I do"
'Cause when our love always fades away
Listen to me hear what I say
I don't wanna feel the way that I do
I just wanna be right here with you
I don't wanna see, see us apart
I just wanna say it straight from my heart
"I miss you, I miss you, I do"
I don't wanna feel the way that I do
I just wanna be right here with you
I don't wanna see, see us apart
I just wanna say it straight from my heart
"Oh baby I miss you, I do"

Some people are lucky baby
I guess I am too
Love found me
And I found you
And every time I think it can't get better
You do something new
And I'm renewed
And when it gets cold
And I think it's over
Look what you go and do
Every time I turn around
Give me a reason
For feeling the way that I do
Every time I turn around
Give me a reason
To put my faith in you
Even when you let me down
I forgive you
'cause I know that you're feeling it too
Anytime I turn around
Make me believe it
The things that I already knew
Mark: you lock me up in kisses baby
Here to toe
Let the whole world stare
I don't care
You make me breakfast in bed
Just to show me
No-one wants me no more
I'm secure
And when it gets cold and
I think its over
Look what you go and do
Every time I turn around
Give me a reason
For feeling the way that I do
Every time I turn around
Give me a reason

Turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around
Cause you know
That I know
That it's hard to let go
So why not hold on
Hold on to us
'cause you know
That I know
That it's hard to let go
So why not hold on
Every time I turn around
Give me a reason
For feeling the way that I do
Every time I turn around
Give me a reason
To put my faith in you
Even when you let me down
I forgive you
'cause I know that you're feeling it too
Anytime I turn around
Make me believe it
The things that I already knew
Every time I turn around

And I can still feel the wind in my hair
I can feel
The road that you're travelling
Takes you so far away
Sometimes it won't hurt you
And there'll be times when you cry
As long as you're with me
I will be strong
The bridge I have to cross
I've burned so many times before
But with you by my side
It feels like I'm walking, walking, walking
Walking on water with you by my side
Yes I'm walking on water and I know you're by my side
There's a place I wanna get to
Where I'm as free as a bird
Where all my prayers will be answered
And the truth is your to hold
And the bridge I have to cross
I've burned so many times before
But with you by my side
Feels like I'm walking, walking, walking
Walking on water with you by my side
Yes I'm walking on water with you by my side
Yes I'm walking on water and I know
That the bridge I have to cross
I've burned so many times before
But with you by my side
It still feels like I'm walking, walking
Walking on water with you by my side
And I'm walking on water and you're still by my side
And I'm walking on water and I got so much tears in my life
And I'm walking, walking, walking on water
And you're here by my side
Walking on water and I'm so full with pride
Walking on water and I ain't got no tears in my eye
You by my side.

Sick of leaving in the morning
With the night you gave away, yeah
So now I'm gonna take that all that I can get
With those angel eyes
You make saints do sins all the time
Say I'm gonna stay, home and away, well well,
When I said I?d catch you when you're falling
Have my heart open wide
And you who's not naive I thought
Say I?d thought I?d mend my heart
Oh people say I'm so automatic

And time on time again I walk on by
With the look of love
And with those angel eyes, woh woh
You set me on fire baby
And with those angel eyes, woh woh
See'mon now lady
The saddest thing I've ever seen on my TV screen
Was a dying man who died for his dream
The toughest thing I've ever heard
Was that new-born scream in this naked world, yeah
And people say that I'm so automatic
People say I'm not so systematic
When I'm down I'm in manual, Lord
Been all around those edges

I was born by the river
So I know where the river runs dry
I couldn't last forever
Accused just for living
But I know that the living was right
I couldn't last forever
Look at me making movies
Making living like I've never lived before
And the people wanting out of the river
Like a poor boy really should
Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What you do for me I'll do for you, Yeah
Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What is blue for me, is blue for you
There's a man who I know
You know he's got a fist full of dirty dollars
And I know they won't last forever
Does he really know what people are saying
Always feeling sure what he is there saying
But the other's disappear he was alone
Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What you do for me I'll do for you
Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What is blue for me, is blue for you
I go back to the river
Cause I know where the river runs dry
I couldn't last forever
Take the night making movies
Like a villain never ever seen the night of day
Don't you know that I can't last forever
Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What you do for me I'll do for you
Now I can sit and stand it

Modern love
It's a funny thing
It's full of diamonds
And a pretty ring
But it's gonna get me
Oh it's gonna get me
Get me so down
Summer loving
Makes me freeze
It leaves me standing
In a cold, cold breeze
So I'm gonna get me
Get me outa town and stop wasting time
Everytime I look into her eyes
They're filled with such emotion
They're filled with such emotion
I don't want to keep on waiting starting my own celebration
Sisters loving
It's a strong, strong thing
It's never ending
And I don't need no diamond ring
But it won't leave them
In a cold cold time
These are difficult times to be celebrating

And outside the wind is blowing
Through the thoughts in my mind
Thinking a feeling is growing
But inside my heart I'm alone
I have a heart, a heart for a woman
I have a promise, of this I will swear
And I have a love that wont be forgotten
I have a life that's going nowhere
I just wanna be with you
Hold you like I used to do, time after time, yeah
Give my heart and soul to you
And only if you wanted to
If only I could be with you
I hear the wind whisper your name
Taking my thoughts again far away
Im dreaming of living a life full of love
And you out there, calling my name, saying
I just wanna be with you
Hold you like I used to do, time after time, yeah
Give my heart and soul to you
And hoping that you feel it too
If only I could be with you
I walk the streets so all alone,
Holding hands with a distant past
And how longs it gonna last, could it be forever
She cant hear me, she cant hear me
If only (only)
If only I could be with you
Just a little time with you, yeah
I just wanna be with you
Hold you like I used to do, time after time, yeah
Give my heart and give my soul to you
And only if you wanted to

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face,
Brush shoulders with the stars.
Where strangers take you by the hand,
And welcome you to wonderland
From beneath their panamas
[Chorus]
Club Tropicana, drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine, there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan!
Castaways and Lovers meet,
Then kiss in Tropicana's heat,
Watch the waves break on the bay.
Soft white sands, a blue lagoon,
Cocktail time, a summer's tune,
A whole night's holiday!
[Chorus]
Pack your bags,
And leave tonight.
Don't take your time,
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight!
Cool, cool, cool, cool

Cool, cool, cool, cool

Move it move it, baby
Can't you see I'm ready to dance?
And I can't stop this rhythm in my heart.
Move it move it baby,
Can't you see I'm ready to dance?
Without this beat my life would fall apart.
Shuffle on your feet till the floor is hot,
Gonna make a lot of money,
Gonna break your heart.
Watch out boy, (watch out boy)
Shuffle on your feet till the floor is hot,
Gonna make a lot of money,
Gonna break your heart.
But I'm the only one with a key.
And that's me.
Sometimes,
You wake up in the morning with the bass line,
A Ray of Sunshine,
Sometimes,
You know today you're gonna have a good time,
And you're ready to go.
Move it move it baby
Can't you see I'm ready to dance?
And I can't keep my rhythm in my heart.
Move it move it baby,
Can't you see I'm ready to dance?
Without this beat my life would fall apart.
Shuffle to the beat,
Gonna take a cut,
There's money in your feet,
Gimme what you got.
Watch out boy, (watch out boy)
Shuffle to the beat,
Gonna take a cut,
There's money in your feet,
Gonna stitch you up.
Any other boy that you see,
But not me.
Sometimes,
You wake up in the morning with the bass line,
A Ray of Sunshine,
Sometimes,
You know today you're gonna have a good time,
And you're ready to go.
Turn the music up,
Turn the music up, turn it up,
Because it's all I've-
All that I've got.
Shuffle to the beat
Gonna take a cut,
There's money in your feet,
Gimme what you got.
Watch out boy, (watch out boy)
Shuffle to the beat,
Gonna take a cut,
There's money in your feet,
Gonna stitch you up.
Sometimes,
You wake up in the morning with the bass line,

Sometimes,
You know today you're gonna have a good time,
And you're ready to go.

The bar lights and the liquor
And the way all the bottles they shine
Well I got five more dollars, drink another
You'll feel fine
You'll feel fine
You'll feel fine
The bar lights and the women
The empty pool hall and you and I
Well I got five more dollars, drink another
You'll feel fine
You'll feel fine
You'll feel fine
Write your name down on a matchbook sleeve
Call me up on Sunday for a drink
Call me up on Sunday tell me anything
The bar lights and the liquor
The way all the bottles they shine
Well I've got five more dollars that wont make you mine
That won't make you mine
That won't make you mine
<@#Whiskeytown_Desperate_Aint_Lonely.txt#@>
I try not to drink,
'cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
Desperate ain't lonely
Though I've been high
Pockets are empty
In the daytime I'm lonesome in the nightime I'm sad
The letter I wrote,
Took words from my throat I was saying
Lay on the roadside
I guess the mailman was drunk
The message was urgent
How lazy a state where you don't live no-one
So I try not to drink,
'cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
Desperate ain't lonely
Though I've been high
Pockets are empty
In the daytime I'm lonesome in the nightime I'm sad

I know the world is a mess
I like the patterns on your dress
Would you have a drink with me please
Have a couple or three
I see you walk by
I don't speak but try
Have a drink with me please
Don't say anything
I look like a mess
The patterns of your dress...
They blind me
Here's to the rest of the world
I guess that you deserve something
You work so hard at
Trying to be just like everyone else
Except people like me
Well, the lights shining down onto the street
The city lingers as it overheats
I'm on idle right now
Don't feel so proud
Wait for the others to join the crowd
And they come
Ones
Threes
Here's to the rest of the world
Oh, I don't know
Here's something that you deserve...
A drink or two
Come on and sit down with me
And we'll pretend everything
We'll pretend everything
It's easy.
<@#Whiskeytown_My_Hometown.txt#@>
On back down in my hometown
Everybody's feelin' it bad
No new breaks, whatever it takes
Not to have to sway it on a classified ad
Hey there Ma and Pa here I am
Money's running out all the same
I just close my eyes and bring it on home again
Up real late in New York state
Talkin' to my baby at night
She keeps me warm and protects me from harm
Love just keeps on rollin' when the money gets tight
Hey there Ma and Pa where I am
Money's running out all the same
I just close my eyes and bring it on home again
Oh Mr.. Memory just take me on down
Back to the shanties and the cars by the lake
Oh Mr.. Memory just take me on back
Back to my baby and make it okay
Yeah just make it okay
On back down in my hometown
Everybody's feelin' the same
Good money spent on keepin' the rent
Sent in to the man under a week late
Hey there Ma and Pa were I am
Money's running out all the same
I just close my eyes and bring it on home again
I just close my eyes and bring it on home again

Somebody remembers the rose
While the other forgets how it grows
Would all the dangers
Would all the dangers of love
Am I still a stranger?
Somebody remembers the dress
How it was handsome
Beautifully pressed
Would all the dangers
Would all the dangers of love
Lost to a stranger
Honey I'm out of service
For a while
Damaged heart's been manufactured
And everyday this one never works anyway
Somebody remembers the rose
While the other forgets how it grows
Would all the dangers
Would all the dangers of love
Lost to a stranger
Honey, I know you
Baby, I know you
Yeah, I know you

Rising with the morning sun
I turn to greet the dawn
Knowing I must face another day
Sleepless night behind me
Just a memory of pain
My heart has always been a cross to bear
[Chorus]
Lord, I know the sunshine
But I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
All around me shadows fall
Though day has just begun
I realize I'm on my own again
Memories of broken dreams
As distant as the sun
Are drifting like an echo in the wind
[Chorus]
Babe, I thought about it
But it just ain't done good
You hold my heart and soul within your hand
All the time, you're in my mind
I never thought you could be so blind
Maybe someday I will understand
Lord, I know the sunshine
But I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today, no more
Hey, mama, you drive me crazy
Knowing you're my heart's desire
Why'd you go and hang me up this way?
You've given me love, given me love
Now tell me what you were thinking of
Why'd you go and steal my soul away?
[Chorus]
I ain't gonna cry no more

Ain't gonna cry no more
Hey, I ain't gonna cry no more today

Oh, love ain't no stranger

Broken hearted people staring at me,
All searching 'cause they still believe,
Oh, love ain't no stranger

So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
I'd feel the emptiness of love I know so well
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love, no, no, no
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,

<@#Whitesnake_Might_Just_Take_Your_Life.txt#@>
I got more than I asked for,
There ain't nothin' I need.
I took all 'til I had more,
I'm always takin' the lead
Old man shakin' dice down on the street,
Try'n to make a livin' somehow
But I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out
And I'm gettin' ready right now
You can't hold me,
I have told you
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life
I've been called by many names
And all of them are bad
I can take it all the same,
It's all I've ever had
I've got somethin' that you can't get
But one thing you can see
Gettin' there ain't easy
But it sure was hard for me
You can't hold me,
I have told you
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life
Every time I take a look
There's someone close behind
They never used to make a pass,
The things that crossed their minds
Now they tell me that it's all right
And they want to be my friend
They're ridin' on my back
When is it goin' to end?
You can't hold me,
I have told you
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need
<@#Whitesnake_Slip_Of_The_Tongue.txt#@>
Sometime after midnight, the heat begins to rise
Girl you'd shame the devil with the look that's in your eyes
I know what's on your mind and I can't run away
If I don't give you what you want there's gonna be some hell to pay
Creeping up behind me, knocking at my door
I'd never be too blind to see just what you're looking for
You roll me over, make me moan
Ooh, such a velvet touch, you'd melt a heart of stone
[Chorus]
Anytime, anyplace, I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face
A slave to love and keep you young
All it takes and no mistakes is just a slip of the tongue
And if I want a little love I gotta take a little pain
Make me think a thousand times before I kiss again
I'm waiting on your, every day and every night
If I don't try to satisfy there's gonna be a fist fight
[Chorus]
The sun is slowly rising and I'm sinking to my knees
I'm dying just to close my eyes, I'm begging, darlin' please
I hear you calling and I'm crawling cross the floor
I give you everything I got and still you ask for more
[Chorus]
<@#Whitesnake_Slow_Poke_Music.txt#@>
Why know the joint was jumping
Like a dancing fool,
I saw you standing in the corner
Looking oh, so cool
I had a word with the DJ
To make the music hot,
I'm gonna get you on the dance floor
If you are ready or not
Slow poke music,
I'll get you down to the bone
Slow poke music,
I'll never leave you alone, I'll never leave you
When you move it to the left,
Or you shake it to the right,
No matter what you do, babe,
It's like dynamite
With your sweet French perfume
An' that criminal walk,
You know you'd melt my ice cream
With your body talk
Slow poke music,
I'll get you down to the bone
Slow poke music,
I'll never leave you alone, I'll never leave you
I'm gonna shake you down,
Girl, I'm won't do you no harm
Well, you move so fine,
Like stepping on glass,
An' when you give me that smile,
I see lightning flash
East an' West, North an' South,
Oh babe, you're so hot
I'm gonna melt in your mouth
Slow poke music,
I'll get you down to the bone
Slow poke music,
Get into it, babe,
Slow poke music,
I'll nail it down to the bone
Slow poke music,
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Girl, I'll never leave you alone
<@#Whitesnake_Straight_For_The_Heart.txt#@>
I'm coming round to see you,
Kicking down your door
I've got to tell you girl
I really can't take no more
'cause I've been hearing about you
Everybody says you're front page news
Laying it down, all around the town
Giving all the boys the blues
Stand and deliver in the name of love,
I'm coming after you,
I'll tell you want I'm gonna do
I'm going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane
I never loved a woman
The way that I love you
I can't escape the feeling,
You don't know what you're putting me through
So stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand
Straight for the heart
I'm going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane
You got the love I dream of
The kind that cost so much,
Just cover me with kisses, baby
Surrender to my touch
Stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand
I'm coming after you,
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm going straight for the heart
Gonna drive you crazy

When I look back
On everything I've done
I know you must have cried
A river of tears,
But, you were there
When I was feeling low
To walk me through my darkest fears.
So when the sun goes down
An' those nights grow colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.
An' the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion.
There were times
I almost let you go
When I thought I needed to break free,
But you were there
To whisper in my ear
Why don't you share my dreams with me.
So when the sun goes down
An those nights are growing colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.
An' the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion.
I don't mind, what you're doing to me,
I don't mind, 'cause you're all I can see
I don't mind, baby, you mean the world to me.
When the sun goes down
An' those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder, baby, baby, baby.
So When the sun goes down
An' those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.
'Cause the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion...
I never gonna let you go,
In my heart, I know.
I love you, I love you.
Oh baby, I really love you...
<@#Whitesnake_Wings_Of_The_Storm.txt#@>
On an' on, the road goes on,
An' it'll go on forever,
Time will show if you and I
Will walk that road together
Through fire an' water, ice an' snow,
Heaven above us, an' hell below,
Holding on, trying to walk the line
With sweet temptation running close behind
I'm talking 'bout love
Ooh, love
Like a fire forever burning,
A flaming heart that's yearning, more an' more
A love to keep us warm
On the wings of the storm
Everyday an' every night
I keep hoping it'll be all right,
Trying to leave the past behind,
Still looking for some peace of mind
But, destiny brought us together
An' promised us a time that would last forever
Tho' it's all been said before
It's the kind of love worth fighting for
I'm talking about love
Ooh, love
Like a fire forever burning,
A flaming heart that's yearning, more an' more
A love to keep you warm
On the wings of the storm
On an' on, the road goes on,
An' it'll go on forever,
Time will show if you and I
Will walk that road together
I'm talking about love
Ooh, love

<@#Whitesnake_Youre_So_Fine.txt#@>
I want you so bad,
The thought is driving me mad
Like a cat on the prowl,
You come when you want
And not when I call
So sly, so pretty,
I want to steal all the keys to your city
Tight skirt, skinny leg,
You make a bad dog sit up and beg
You're everything I want,
Everything I need
Come in out of the cold, pretty woman,
Spend the night with me
Oh, you're so fine
Oh, I want to make your mine all mine,
'Til the end of time,
Baby, you're so fine
You're so hot with body heat,
You cause a fire walking down the street
You got class, you got style,
The girls don't like it,
But, the boys go wild
You're everything I want,
Everything I need
Come in out of the cold, pretty woman,
Spend the night with me
Oh, you're so fine
Oh, I want to make your mine
Dance little sister,
Spinning on a dime,
Shake a shimmy little twister
I'm gonna make you,
I'm gonna make you mine,
Mine all mine,
You're so fine
I want you so bad,
Just the thought is driving me mad,
I want to know what you'll do,
Baby, baby, I can't wait
To get my hands on you
You're everything I want,
Everything I need
Come in out of the cold, pretty woman,
Spend the night with me
Oh, you're so fine
Oh, I want to make your mine
Oh, you're so fine
Oh, I want to make your mine all mine
You're so fine, you're so fine
You're so fine, you're so fine
You're so fine
<@#Whitney_Houston_All_At_Once.txt#@>
All at once
I finally took a moment
And I'm realizing that
You're not coming back
And it's finally hit me all at once
All at once I've started counting teardrops
And at least a million fell
My eyes began to swell
And all my dreams were shattered all at once
Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone
[Chorus]
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once
I looked around and found that you were
With another love
In someone else's arms
And all my dreams were shattered all at once
All at once the smile that used to greet me
Brightened someone else's day
She took your smile away
And left me with just memories all at once
Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone
[Chorus: x2]
<@#Whitney_Houston_Call_You_Tonight.txt#@>
The stars must be aligned tonight
I believe this has to happen baby
Lightening had to strike to tonight
'Cause the two of us are finally meeting
In this place at this time
I feel sane when I look in your eyes
Feel like I know you from another life
It makes me wish I wasn't so pressed for time
[Chorus]
I can't catch my breath 'cause you take it away
The best writer in town, could not find words to stay
Now there's so many things I want to get to know
I wish that I could stay but I got to go
So I'm gonna call you tonight
I will baby, just as soon as I get time alone
I'm gonna call you tonight, I will baby
Just as soon as I get home
That's the way it goes in life
You get busy when you just don't want to
There's never enough time in your life
You have to make it baby, so I'm goin'
Make a way to connect
'Cause your face is what I can't forget
I feel like I know you from another life
And it makes me wish I wasn't so pressed for time
[Chorus]
Destiny, I believe in it
Meant to be, don't you see it's possible
That for this kind of magic you think I'm having
And if you want to know... then stay by the phone
You stay by the phone
[Chorus]
<@#Whitney_Houston_Count_On_Me.txt#@>
[Chorus]
Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there, don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say, count on
I can see that it's hurting you, I can feel your pain
It's hard to see the sunshine, through the rain, oh
I know sometimes it seems as if, it's never gonna end
But you'll get through it
Just don't give in cause you can
[Chorus]
You can count on me
I know sometimes it seems as if, we're standing all alone
Be we'll get through it, 'cause love won't let us fall
[Chorus]
There's a place inside of all of us
Where our faith in love begins
You should reach to find the truth in love
The answers there within, oh
I know that life can make you feel
It's much harder than it really is
But we'll get through it, just don't give in
[Chorus]
<@#Whitney_Houston_Higher_Love.txt#@>
[VERSE 1]
Think about it
There must be higher love
Down in the heart or
Hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart,
I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair
We will walk the line
And try to see
Falling behind in what could be
[CHORUS]
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love
I keep thinking of
[VERSE 2]
Worlds are turning
And we're just hanging on
Facing our fear
And standing out there alone
A yearning and it's real to me
There must be someone
Who's feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair
We will walk the line
And try to see
Falling behind in what could be
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
I will wait for it
I'm not too late for it
Until then I'll sing my song
To cheer the night along
I could light the night up
With my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine
From pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be
[CHORUS]
<@#Whitney_Houston_I_Belong_To_You.txt#@>
You are the flame in my heart
You light my way in the dark
You are the ultimate star
You lift me from up above
Your unconditional love
Takes me to paradise
I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet
You make me feel so divine
Your soul and mind are entwined
Before you I was blind
But since I've opened my eyes
And with you there's no disguise
So I could open up my mind
I always loved you from the start
But I could not figure out
That I had to do it everyday
So I put away the fight
Now I'm gonna live my life
Giving you the most in every way
I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet
Oh I belong to you
I belong to you
And you, you
You belong to me too
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet
Oh I belong to you
I belong to you
And you, you
You belong to me too
You make my life complete
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet
Oh I belong to you
I belong to you
And you, and you
You belong to me too
You make my life complete
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet
<@#Whitney_Houston_I_Have_Nothing.txt#@>
Share my life,
Take me for what I am.
'Cause I'll never change
All my colors for you.
Take my love,
I'll never ask for too much,
Just all that you are
And everything that you do.
I don't really need to look
Very much further,
I don't want to have to go
Where you don't follow.
I will hold it back again,
This passion inside.
Can't run from myself,
There's nowhere to hide.
[Chorus]
Don't make me close one more door,
I don't want to hurt anymore.
Stay in my arms if you dare,
Or must I imagine you there.
Don't walk away from me.
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you, you
You see through,
Right to the heart of me.
You break down my walls
With the strength of your love.
I never knew
Love like I've known it with you.
Will a memory survive,
One I can hold on to?
I don't really need to look
Very much further,
I don't want to have to go
Where you don't follow.
I will hold it back again,
This passion inside.
I can't run from myself,
There's nowhere to hide.
Your love I'll remember forever
Don't make me close one more door,
I don't want to hurt anymore.
Stay in my arms if you dare,
Or must I imagine you there.
Don't walk away from me.
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
Don't make me close one more door,
I don't want to hurt anymore.
Stay in my arms if you dare,
Or must I imagine you there.
Don't walk away from me.
No, don't walk away from me.
Don't you dare walk away from me.
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you,
If I don't have you, oh, ooo

Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up to now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls, loneliness calls
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Somebody oo Somebody oo
Somebody who loves me yeah
Somebody oo Somebody oo
To hold me in his arms oh
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Ah, ah, ah
Things just ain't the way that they used to be
Back in the day when a man meant security
He'd be working hard all week
Baby kick back and throw up your feet
Let me fix you a treat
So it might be love and sweet
But he's worth it
He deserves it
May not be perfect
But he's all the man I need
He's ready and willing
Gives me the feeling, ah
And whenever we're together
I know where I belong
[Chorus]
It's just the way he looks into your eyes
Love that man
It's the love he gives that makes you fantasize
Love that man
It's the time he takes to show you that he cares
And he's always there (He's always always there)
Don't you love that man (I know)
Things they ain't the way they used to be
When a woman and a man work hard to be
Happy in love and stand together ooh
(Let's stay that way forever)
Never give in to a fight
Just trying work it out
Never give up on him
That's not what love's about
Stay true to your feelings
And remember
All the things he's done for you
[Chorus]
You'd better know I'm talking about that old-school love
That everlasting feeling can never be too much
Somebody loves you heart and soul
Hold on, don't stop
And never let him go
[Chorus]
<@#Whitney_Houston_Moment_Of_Truth.txt#@>
We've been playing games with our emotions
Let's get what we feel out in the open
Wanting you is all I do
Boy I know you want me too
Don't you think it's time we proved
What we've been feeling
[Chorus]
This is our moment of truth
Either we win or we lose this love
It's just the way that we feel
We'll know if love is for real, soon enough
Let out your feelings tonight
Cause oh, I know that I want you
It's all up to me and you
And the moment of truth
Far too many times a heart gets broken
Just because three words are never spoken
We can't let that bother us
Not when we're so much in love
I could never get enough of saying I love you
[Chorus]
Wanting you is all I do
Boy, I know you want me, too
Don't you think it's time we proved
What we've been feeling
[Chorus]

I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me
I keep your photo right beside my bed
Livin' in a world of fantasies
I can't get you out of my head
I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night
Why you want to make me feel so good
I got a love of my own
Shouldn't get so hung up on you
I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn't like it so much
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby
I gotta watch you walk out
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk I just watch your mouth
I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn't like it so much
I get so emotional, baby

I get so emotional, baby

I'm wishing you were here with me

I only think of you
And I'm living out my fantasy
Late at night I run to you
Being such a lovesick fool
It might be pouring rain (it will be pouring)
It's still the same
Nothing's changed
All in all I feel no shame
I'm just your fool insane (I'm just a fool)

Oh so tell me what ya gonna do
Got me thinking about you
All I want to do
Like a river of wine
Intoxicate my mind
I'm thinking about you
That's what I want to do
Pick me up, let's go down
I'm thinking about it too (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I'm thinking about you
Got me thinking about you
I'm thinking about it too
Make believing is a game
That's not for me to play
Don't you need me just like I need you
There's no reason
Just my heart that makes me feel this way
And I hope you feel the same way too
Late at night I run to you
Being such a lovesick fool
It might be pouring rain (it will be pouring)
It's still the same
Nothing's changed
All in all I feel no shame
I'm just your fool insane (I'm just a fool)

Little girl guide
Why don't you stop your crying
Here comes Ivor the dirty old sooty engine driver to make you feel all right
Yeah, yeah!
My name is Ivor, I'm an engine driver
I know him well, I know why you feel blue
Just cause he's late, don't mean he'll never get through
He told me he loved you
He ain't no liar, I ain't either
So let's have a smile for an old engine driver
Let's have a smile for an old engine driver
Soon be home

I can't believe it
Do my eyes deceive me
Am I back in your arms
Away from all harm
It's like a dream to be with you again
Aw!
Can't believe that I'm with you again
Ba ba, bo bo ba ba, ba ba
I missed you and I must admit
I've kissed a few and once did sit
On Ivor the engine driver's lap
And later with him had a nap
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
Know you're forgiven
Come on baby, baby forgiven
Know that you lied
Know you're forgiven
Know that you made me cry
Baby
You are forgiven
You know you're forgiven
You're all forgiven!
<@#Who_Black_Widows_Eyes.txt#@>
You jumped out of an alley
With surprise in your black widow's eyes
I was prepared to be unprepared
Been preparing for lights
I fell right in love with you
Into a thousand parts I blew
I fell right in love with you
I was caught in a corner
He recoiled from a broken romance
Taking breath after once undead
I had a firm grip on my pants
I fell right in love with you
Through a hundred hearts you flew
I fell right in love with you
Strange that when infatuation calls
We think that we've got real love in our life
It pumps like the pressure in a station hall
As the express train thunders on by
I fell right in love with you
As the blood came blowing through
I fell right in love with you
Across the room
I saw your eyes
Black window looking back at me
You held a gun
As children cried
You touched some wires
They shattered me
I was blown into a blue
There'd been nothing I could do
I fell right in love with you
I rose up to the station
Smelt your scent by the door
You stood waiting so patient
Just one wait, then no more
I fell right in love with you
There'd been nothing I could do
I fell right in love with you
Across the room
I saw your eyes
Black window looking back at me
You held a gun
As children cried
You touched some wires
They shattered me

<@#Who_Cry_If_You_Want.txt#@>
Once it was just innocence
Brash ideas and insolence
But you will never get away
With the things you say today
But you can try if you want
Don't you get embarrassed when you read the precious things you said
Many many years ago when life appeared rosy red
No one ever shared your bed
Nothing ever filled your head
Except yourself and little Ted
And scary dreams that you were dead.
Don't you want to hide your face
When going through your teenage books
And read the kind of crap you wrote
About "ban the bomb" and city crooks
Think about how long it took
To get over that sudden "Yuk"
When in the mirror you would look
Well now my son you're well in stook
Cry if you want, cry if you want
Didn't you writhe in anger when you saw the man in his big car
Didn't you drive a banger and a gallon didn't get you far
Should have been a famous star
But that ain't what you really are
You could shout your last hurrah
While they are propping up the bar
Maybe things were better then
Before you led a promised life
Rash commitments and heavy raps and left wing spiel all compromised
You fall in love with other's wives
Drive 'em nuts with empty lies
Angry 'cause you lost the prize
Forgot the color of their eyes.
Cry if you want, cry if you want
Let your tears flow Let your past go
Don't you get embarrassed when you think about the way you were
Yesterday the day before when you were young with much to learn
Aren't you glad it's your last term
No more acting lowly worm
You can make the suckers squirm
When you tell them how much you earn
Don't you feel ashamed at all the bitterness you keep inside
Does your ego save your face "I had a go - I really tried"
Now you know your leaders lied
Does it stop you acting snide
Or are you still a boy that cried
Tears now surely long since dried.
Cry if you want, cry if you want

<@#Who_Dreaming_From_The_Waist.txt#@>
I feel like I want to break out of the house
My heart is a-pumping, I've got sand in my mouth
I feel like I'm heading up to a cardiac arrest
I want to scream in the night, I want a manifest
I've got that wide awake, give-and-take, five o'clock-in-the-morning feeling
I've got the hots for the sluts in the well thumbed pages of a magazine
I want to drive, want to fly like I do in the dreams I've never really been in
I want to hump, want to jump, want to heat up, cool down in a dream machine
I'm dreaming... from the waist on down
I'm dreaming... but I feel tired and bound
I'm dreaming... of a day when a cold shower helps my health
I'm dreaming... dreaming - of the day I can control myself
Day I can control myself
Sound like a priest and then I'm shooting dice
I'm burning tires with some guy whose hair is turning white
I know the girls that I pass, they just ain't impressed
I'm too old to give up, but too young to rest
I've got that numb-to-a-thumb over-dubbed
Feeling social when the world is sleeping
The plot starts to thicken then I sicken and I feel I'm cemented down
I'm so juiced that the whorey lady's sad sad story has me quietly weeping
But here comes the morning
Here comes the yawning demented clown
I'm dreaming...but I know it's all hot air
I'm dreaming...I'll get back to that rocking chair
I'm dreaming...of the day I can share the wealth
I'm dreaming...dreaming - of the day I can control myself
Day I can control myself
Hey, hey!
The day I can control myself

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping

Well you can surf in the city
You can swim in the pools
Do anything you want
Because there ain't no rules
Drive your super-stock carbur to the long highway
And you can drag.
In the city in the falling right
The kids are hip and they can dance all night
In the city all the girls are pretty and they go...

It's not true
You say I've been in prison
You say I've got a wife
You say I've had help doing
Everything throughout my life
[Chorus]
It's not true, it's not true
I'm telling you
Cause I'm up here and you're nowhere
It's not true, so there
I haven't got eleven kids
I weren't born in Baghdad
I'm not half-Chinese either
And I didn't kill my dad
[Chorus]
If you hear more rumors
You can just forget them too
Fools start the rumors
None of them are true
[Chorus]
You say I've been in prison
You say I've got a wife
You say I've had help doing
Everything throughout my life
I haven't got eleven kids
I weren't born in Baghdad
I'm not half-Chinese either
And I didn't kill my dad

But the season's right for knowing
Won't you join together with the band.
It's the singer not the song

This is the biggest band you'll find
It's as deep as it is wide

Little Billy was the fattest kid in his class
Always the last in line
All the other little kids would laugh at him
Said he'd die before his time
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Little Billy didn't mind
Most of the kids smoked cigarettes
Just to prove that they were cool
The teacher didn't know about the children's games
And Billy always followed the rules
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Little Billy didn't mind
Billy was big on the outside
But there's an even bigger man inside
Ten million cigarettes burning every day
And Billy's still doing fine
Now Billy and his classmates are middle-aged
With children of their own
Their smoking games are reality now
And cancer's seed is sown
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Little Billy's didn't mind
Most of them smoke maybe forty a day
A habit Billy doesn't share
One by one they're passing away
Leaving orphans to Billy's care
Ha ha ha ha

Little Billy doesn't mind
Ha ha ha ha

I got lost in the back streets, trying to get here tonight,
The police were asking questions, they took me to the wrong place twice.
I even lost my passport, and I forgot my name and town,
But now I'm here by the water, put the money down.
Before I walk on the water,
Put the money down, down, down,
There are bands killing chickens,
My hero's getting pushed around, 'round, 'round.
I don't know if I trust you as you try to shoot me down,
Before I walk on the water,
Put the money down, down, down,
Put the money down.
It was a beautiful day in Columbus when the fences fell
But the five loaves and the fishes ain't going to be much help,
I got a hungry juggler here who wants to be at the head,
Before he walks the water he wants his bread.
Take a glass of that light brown ale and a purple pill,
If the air don't get you too sure as hell the pill will,
Oh, mommy, mommy, please may I go downtown?
He's gonna walk on the water,
Put the money down,
Put it down, before I walk on the water,
Put the money down, down, down.
There are bands killing chickens,
My hero's getting pushed around, round, round,
I don't know if I trust you as you try to shoot me down,
I'm gonna walk on the water,
Put the money down, down, down, down, down,
Put the money down.

Never thought what a mess it'd get you in
Little pin, little pin, bring me luck
Because I stopped to pick you up

Well now, little girl, I'm helping you

Whenever you run, I'll be running too
Whenever you run, I'll be following you

<@#Who_They_Are_All_In_Love.txt#@>
Where do you walk on sunny times
When the rivers gleam and the buildings shine
How do you feel when the pollen falls
And the summer clothes brighten gloomy halls
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
Where do you fit in zip magazine
Where the past is the hero and the present a queen
Just tell me right now where do you fit in
With mud in your eye and a passion for gin
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
Hey, goodbye all you punks
Stay young and stay high
Hand me my checkbook
And I'll crawl out to die
But like a woman in childbirth
Grown ugly in a flash
I'm seen magic and fame
Now I'm recycling trash
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
<@#Who_Trick_Of_The_Light.txt#@>
Wide awake in the middle of the night
I wonder how she's feelin'
Is it just a trick of the light
Or is her ceiling peeling?
She's sitting up in bed, shakin' her head
At a copy of "true confessions"
Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale
To a woman of her profession
[Chorus:]
But was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
Or was it just another trick of the light?
[Repeat]
Come on, tell me
What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this?
They don't make girls like you no more
And I'd like to get to know you
On closer terms than this
But I guess you've heard it all before
Lady of the night
Won't you steal away with me?
Lady of the night
Won't you steal away with me?
The money's lyin' on the floor, she looks at me
Shakes her head and sighs
Out of time, out the door
Red light shinin' in my eyes
[Chorus]
All right?
But was I all right?
All right?

In the easy chair with my boots on
Melted whiskey in my hand
I couldn't have been asleep for more than three hours
Time to go to work again
Once more I beat the sunrise
And there's a dark breeze at my door
Raise the water from the well up to my face
How could a man like me be poor?
As long as there's water
Chilly wet water
Gimme some of that cool water
Well, my horse's eyes are glassy
He breathed the city in his lungs last night
I lead his natural body
To the trough to regain his might
Red rooster crow them blues here
That Old Blue he round the bull
And the mornin's crying rays of sunrise
It hasn't rained for three weeks full
As long as there's water
Chilly well water
Gimme some of that cool, cool water
Venus light is rising
I lay my buckets inside the shed
And there's a man I see - a stranger
Leaning on the gate outside my fence
Said "I'm riding out from the city
Where they started holding water back last night
I was hoping I could get a drink from your well
Before I ride on to another city tonight"
Before I ride on to another city tonight
Before I ride on to another city tonight
Chilly well, chilly well water
Cool well, chilly well water
Before I ride on

The Cadillacs roll, Katie step to the side
Tellin' jokes with strangers
A kind glance at a lonely passer-by
Jingle bells, electric lights
Oh, they rattle 'gainst the shopping cart
Even on the fourth of July
Christmas Katie calls people names
They're Dancers, and Blitzens, and angels on high
Chilly bones laughin' after the night
Oh, the hungries come and go
As he blows with his eyes froze tight
Slidell boy, big city nights
Oh, he tips his hat for dinner
An old stray beggin' for a bite
Oh, Christmas Katie, babe, blow your horn
Play something happy, leave the sad one's alone
Crackin' a smile as small as wishes
Make us some merry, make it last for a while
Hey, puttin' out the dog, put the wheels on tight
Oh, play another sweet song
Never want to see Katie cry
Jingle bells, electric lights
They rattle 'gainst the shopping cart
Even on the fourth of July
Oh, Christmas Katie, baby blow that horn
Play something happy, leave the sad ones alone
Slidell smiles as small as wishin'
Make us some merry, make it last for a while
Oh, make it last all night!
<@#Widespread_Panic_Conrad.txt#@>
Conrad the Caterpillar thought he was really killer,
Couldn't wait to build a cocoon (original lyrics)
Couldn't wait to buy blue suede shoes (recent lyrics)
Spent all his days eatin' leaves in the shade
And stayed when the night set, too.
Conrad the Caterpillar knew life would be a thriller
Soon as the threads was spun
Wouldn't stop to play in the Caterpillar Games
Till his own webbing game was done.
He said, "No, no, I got no time to play,
Got a thousand little legs that don't get me too far in a day,
I'm leaving, looks like I can't stay."
That little pillar he found him a willow
Spun in with a craftsmans weave
Wound so tightly to protect him from the light
And all shapes of water that drop from the leaves
Conrad the Caterpillar knew he would be a chiller
And he wound it tighter some more
Wound it so wide and the ends of his legs got sore.
He said, "No, now I can't feel my feet
Just when I thought it was time to take a stroll on down the street
I'm leaving, looks like I can't leave
What do you know?
What's all this moving around with inside me?
What kind of 'piller could touch the world of a miller
Chopping trees to build a new store
Nobody sees a lonely bump on the tree
Except a lump who's crying for more
Conrad the Caterpillar knew life would be a chiller as he wound it tighter
some more
Anybody stands in the caterpillar's place is moving in a standing run
He said, "No brother, I just need some room to fly,
I spent all of my days just trying to keep dry
Oh I'd take a waterfall or a drop from my eye
I can't see nothin' from here anyway, I might as well make room and try
Might as well try
Oh no, I just need a little room to play
Got a thousand little wings and I'm gonna use them all today
I'm leaving, it looks like I gotta stay.

Wanna steal a ride on a train
Crawlin' in the dirt all night

Newborns lashed to a dead oak tree
Settle deeper in the rain
Settle deeper in the rain
Hold me tight, flying through the air
Hold on strong, and we're almost there
Laugh so hard, the devil gets scared
I got a real good mind to beat your senseless
Best to count your blessing child
The sun's not too hot today
Like to get to church before
Oh, before this old jacket fades
Take us right to the shade
That's the end of Poppie Johnny Road
Old blind that cures your misery
Give her five dollars, boy
Oh, and a reason to believe
A reason to believe
Hold me tight, flying through the air
Coal yards calling, we're almost there
Laugh so hard and the devil's all scared

Down Poppie Johnny Road, nobody hears your name

At the end of Poppie Johnny Road

Just get five dollars there and a reason to believe

Hold me tight, flying through the air

Laughed so hard and the devil gets scared

I was walkin' the other day with my head down,
When I met a man who had his hand out.
So I gave him, gave him a dollar,
But as I walked away I heard him call out,
"Tell me Brother, can you see the sun
From where you're standin' now?
I've been up and I've been down,
But I've never been to this part of town."
So I started thinkin' 'bout, this world we live in,
And about how far I've got my hand in.
Sometimes it seems that all we have, we have taken,
But maybe next time, won't be the forsaken.
Tell me Brother, can you see the sun
From where you're standin' now?
I've been up and I've been down,
But I've never been to this part of town.
So I went to see my girl, told her about my day.
She said, "Life can be that way.
But don't give up, don't give up, no,
'Cause where there is love, there is hope."
Tell me Brother, can you see the sun
From where you're standin' now?
I've been up and I've been down,
But I've never been here before.
Tell me Brother, can you see the sun
From where you're standin' now?
I've been up and I've been down,
But I've never been to this part of town.

Still, I'm wondering why
Must I lay low
In a room full of strangers?
Well, I'm thinking
Thinking makes the danger
My emotions they get all tangled up and
My heart has just turned 'round
Now I'm watching
Look into my t.v.
And I'm thinking
Wondering about the things I see
And I see your world
Worthless stranger
And I get thinking
Thinking starts and makes it bigger
All convictions they get all tangled up and
Our heart has just turned round, round, round again
I've been driving
Thinking about you and me
And I'm thinking
Wonderin' 'bout the things I see
When you treat your heart
Hold you like a stranger
And I've been thinking
Little thinking makes the danger
Our intentions they get all tangled up and
Our hearts have just turned round, round, round again

[Verse 1]
Yo, yo forget the club
Today we play in the block
It's going down and it's blazing hot
Jeff pop the new CD turn tables joints
You just got to get the amps from Boogie
Get the van from Rock and then
Call up Ishcabibble's, Jim's and Pat's
And tell 'em we need cheese steaks for like, 300 cats
And yo, make sure it's hot or else I'm sending 'em back
And get my mic right
If I get hyped, I might rap
Then take the speakers find a good spot
Subs on the bottom, tweeters up top
Yo, you know where little John lives on the corner
The extension cord'll run perfectly to his crib
And then tell Officer Mike to barricade the block
Regardless what car you got, leave it up top
You want to come, you got to come on your feet
Ain't nothing like having a party
When it's out in the street, come on
[Chorus: Tra-Knox]
Nine o'clock I'ma call my crew
And ten o'clock we gonna roll on through
I don't know what you goin' do
But whatever you do, hit the block party tonight
All the ladies rolling up with friends
And don't be late or you won't get in
Our party's packed from beginning to end
Everybody tell a friend that the block party's tonight
[Verse 2]
It's ain't nothing like
Having a party on the block
When everybody know everybody on the block
And everybody on the block
Come to the party on the block
And when the sun drop, (we don't stop)
Funny how fast they travel the word
A dozen divas from North Philly drove in when they heard
That it's a block party down in West Philly
Come block party with Jeff and Big Willy
Stand back, everybody come to see the man rap
Jeff got it, jam packed
Everybody, hands in the air
(Just get your hands in the air!)
Yo Philly! (that's where the party's at!)
D.C. why y'all! (that's where the party's at!)
A-T-L (that's where the party's at!)
West side! (that's where the party's at!)
Mid-west why yall (that's where the party's at!)
Dirty South now (that's where the party's at!)
Yo, I can't hear why yall! (that's where the party's at!)
Where ever we at! (that's where the party's at!)
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Yo, yo and when the sun drop
Back in Philly that don't mean that the fun stop
All it mean is that it's time to turn the lights on
All day long I been plotting on this nice john
It's ten o'clock now Jeff is trying to hype me
Will the Fresh Prince come up to the mic please?
Hear the crowd cheer, brought a little smile out
Mic check, one, two- I'm 'bout to wild out
I know he's old, but
Maybe it's a slight chance
I could get my brother hype
Make him break dance- ha, maybe not
Lemme get the crowd jumping
Let me him 'em with the brand new funk or something
I'm like Rob Base- I want to rock right now
why yall know who run the block right now
All we need is a mic and a beat
And a couple of speakers
And some turn tables out in the street, come on!
[Chorus]

Yo
When I released my first single back in like '86
People was like oh you know that's popcorn and you know they weak
You know then I mess around I go world trade on them
Bangin' out them multi-plastic still got negativity to bring
My thing is you can't say nothing nice don't say nothing
Take your place allow me to flex a taste
As my accomplishments bring up my comp like mase
Face me the star of stage and TV
My face be seen in almost every country
Grammy winner soon to be oscar nominee
Who he that's dressed jiggy straight from west Philly
Thought I was whack 'cause I wanted to act
Now every brother and his mother that rap be trying to do that
The ill kid
Hundred million dollar bill kid
The one you love to chill with come on keep it real kid
Don't try to act like this summer at the greek
You won't be bumpin' the big Willie in your jeep
I know y'all still feel me
Really don't act silly
Thought I feel off just becuase I left Philly
Took a break from the rap thing went on hiatus
I picked up the art of acting and multiplied papers
I chilled on silk sofas chatting with Operah
She asked me if it's true that me and Jeff broke up
While y'all kids busy playing drug pimp and playa
I was at my crib in Barbados chillin' with Jada
Vertex is me the magnanamous
God you sayin' damn I've always been a fan of his
Y'all know how it is oh wait hold up y'all don't
Look here y'all don't say nothing than I won't
Just don't say nothing
Man I love being me ready to rock the block
With some more hot top notch ---- for you to cop
No more mr. nice guy
My whole life I've been smiling when I felt like whiling
Jealousy swinging on me made his attack
(he soft he whack man that ain't real rap)
You believe that
It hurt me at first but it's cool
Took the insults feed it to my ego for fuel
Now everywhere I turn a dead end
Hundred women coming at me waving pads and pens
And they be screaming out
(oh my lord)
Did you see it's that brother from
(ID4)
Now can I please get
(a picture and your signature)
Sure you can miss
(oh my god my girlfriends they ain't gonna beleive this)
Worldwide wait nah hold up galactic
Hear my name don't nothing change but the accent
Bangok to Madagascar they wanna see me
Prince epe in Spain Japan I'm cota eshe
I like my steaks thick and my jets private
And my son to ride in the cockpit
I know he's only four taking lessons from the pilot
While I'm on my cell with my broker getting stock tips
Find a magazine and I read the hottest gossip
Man who'd a thought my life would be such an interesting topic
Well y'all know how it is wait hold up y'all don't
Well look here y'all don't say nothing than I won't
Just don't say nothing
Just don't say nothing
Just don't say nothing
Just don't say nothing
Go ahead adjust the balance and the bass in your speakers
Make sure my voice sounding crisp in your tweeters
I'm about to show you how a man like me works
Shorty get ice five carrots and nothing cheaper
Four five chromed out former two seater
Fifty inch sony to watch Siskel and Ebert
'Cause I'm about to get two thumbs ten toes one knee and probobly a couple
Of elbows
'Cause yo I'm the man and the whole world knows
Rock film fests to vos and rap shows
All the critics jealous people and back-stabbers
My so-called friends who been nothing but actors
You're way of charachter but now who's the bomb
It's Will from west Phil just slightly transformed
Y'all know what it is
Ah damn that's right y'all don't
But look here y'all don't say nothing then trust me I won't

<@#Will_Smith_Fresh_Prince_Of_Bel-Air.txt#@>
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, holmes to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo holmes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

See me on the fifty yard line with the Raiders
Met Ali he told me I'm the greatest
I got the fever for the flavor of a crowd pleaser
DJ play another
From the prince of this
Your highness
Only bad chicks ride in my whips
South to the west to the east to the north
Bought my hits and watch 'em go off a go off
Ah yes yes y'all ya don't stop
In the winter or the (summertime)
I makes it hot
Gettin jiggy wit 'em

Eight-fifty I.S. if you need a lift
Who's the kid in the drop
Who else Will Smith
Livin' that life some consider a myth
Rock from south street to one two fifth
Women used to tease me
Give it to me now nice and easy
Since I moved up like George and Wheezey
Cream to the maximum I be askin' 'em
Would you like to bounce with the brother that's platinum
Never see Will attackin' 'em
I rather play ball with Shaq and 'em
Flatten 'em
Psyche
Hittin' you thought I took a spill
But I didn't
Trust the lady of my life she hittin'
Hit her with a drop top with the ribbon
Crib for my mom on the outskirts of Philly
You trying to flex on me
Don't be silly

<@#Willie_Nelson_Afraid.txt#@>
Afraid to tell you how much I care
Afraid I'll need you
And you won't be there
I'd love to take you into my heart
But something tells me
We would only part
I loved and lost
Just one love ago
I paid the cost and it hurt me so
A heart gets careless
When vows are made
I want to love you but I'm so afraid
I loved and lost
Just one love ago
I paid the cost and it hurt me so
A heart gets careless
When vows are made
I want to love you but I'm so afraid
<@#Willie_Nelson_Against_The_Wind.txt#@>
WAYLON:
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago
She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio, playin' low
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
There was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
JOHNNY:
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it would never end
I remember how she held me oh, so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
CHORUS (ALL):
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong
But just running against the wind
WILLIE:
And the years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
I guess I lost my way, there were oh, so many roads
I was livin' to run and runnin' to live
Never worrying about paying or how much I owed
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breakin' all of the rules I could bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searchin' for shelter again and again
CHORUS (ALL):
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
I found myself seekin'
Shelter against the wind
WILLIE:
All those drifter's days are passed me now
I've got so much more to think about
JOHNNY:
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out
CHORUS (ALL):
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
Well I'm older now and still
Running against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
<@#Willie_Nelson_Always.txt#@>
I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, always
When the things you plan
Need a helping hand
I will understand, always, always
Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year, but, always
Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
And, not for just a year, but, always
<@#Willie_Nelson_Always_Late_(With_Your_Kisses).txt#@>
Always late with your kisses
Won't you come to my arms
Sweet darling and stay
Always late with your kisses
Why oh why do you want to do me this way
How long do you think that I can wait
When you know you're always late
Always late with your kisses
Why why why do you want to do me this way
How long do you think that I can wait
When you know you're always late
Always late with your kisses
Why why why do you want to do me this way
<@#Willie_Nelson_Country_Willie.txt#@>
You called me country Willie
The night you walked away
With the one who promised you a life of joy
You thought my life too simple
And your was much too gay
To spend it living with a country boy
I'm writing you this letter
I write you every day
I hope that you've received the ones before
But I've heard not one word from you
And every day I pray
That you will not forget your country boy
While you're living in the city
With riches round your door
Is this your love
Is this your kind of joy
Or do you find
There's something missing
Does your heart cry out for more
And do you sometimes miss your country boy
A cottage in the country
With roses round the door
Could not compete
With flashing city lights
But it's all I have to offer
Except for one thing more
A heart so filled with love
That it could die
Well it's time to end this letter
The light of dawn is near
A lonely night has passed
But there'll be more
Just one more thing in closing
For all the world to hear
Come home I love you
Signed your country boy
<@#Willie_Nelson_Crazy.txt#@>
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy crazy for feeling so blue
I knew that you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry
Wondering what in the world did I do
I'm crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
I'm crazy for thinking
<@#Willie_Nelson_Denver.txt#@>
The bright lights of Denver
Were shining like diamonds
Like ten thousand jewels in the sky
Where it's nobody's business
Where you're goin' or where you came from
And you've judged by the look in your eye
She saw him that evening in a tavern in town
In a quiet little out of the way place
And they smiled at each other
As he walked through the door
And they danced with their smiles on their faces
And they danced with their smiles on their face
<@#Willie_Nelson_Dry_Lightning.txt#@>
I threw my robe on in the morning
Watched the ring on the stove turn red
Stared hypnotized into a cup of coffee
Pulled on my boots and made the bed
Screen door hangin' off its hinges
Kept bangin' me awake all night
As I look out the window
The only thing in sight
Is dry lightning on the horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind.
I chased the heat of her blood
Like it was the holy grail
Descend beautiful spirit
Into the evening pale
Her appaloosa's
Kickin' in the corral smelling rain
There's a low thunder rolling
'Cross the mesquite plain
But there's just dry lightning on the horizon line
It's just dry lightning and you on my mind
I'd drive down to Alvarado Street
Where she'd dance to make ends meet
I'd spend the night over my gin
As she'd talk to her men
Well the piss yellow sun
Comes bringin' up the day
She said "Ain't nobody can give nobody
What they really need anyway."
Well you get so sick of the fightin'
You lose your fear of the end
But I can't lose your memory
And the sweet smell of your skin
And it's just dry lightning on the horizon line
Just dry lightning and you on my mind
<@#Willie_Nelson_Eight_More_Miles_To_Louisville.txt#@>
I've traveled o'er the country wide a seekin' fortune fair
I've been down the two coast lines I've traveled everywhere
From Portland East and Portland West and back along the line
I'm goin' now to a place that's best that old home town of mine
Eight more miles and Louisville will come in to my view
Eight more miles on this old road and I 'll never more be blue
I knew some day that I'd come back I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville the home town of my heart
There's sure to be a girl somewhere that you like best of all
Mine lives down in Louisville she's long and she is tall
But she's the kind that you can't find a rambling through the land
I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand
Oh eight more miles and Louisville...
Now I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home
A humble little hut for two we'll never want to roam
The place that's right for that love site is in those bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville
Eight more miles to Louisville...
<@#Willie_Nelson_For_The_Good_Times.txt#@>
Don't look so sad I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning
Lay your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times
I'll get along you'll find another
I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Lay your head upon my pillow...
<@#Willie_Nelson_Forgiving_You_Was_Easy.txt#@>
Forgiving you was easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
I just keep thinking and your memory is forever on my mind
You know I'll always love you and I can't forget the days when you were mine
Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
The bitter fruit of anger growing from the seeds of jealousy
Oh what a heartache but I forgive the things you said to me
Cause I believe forgiving is the only way that I'll find peace of mind
And forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
The years have passed so quickly as once again fate steals a young man's
dreams
Of all the golden years and growing old together you and me
You asked me to forgive you you said there was another on your mind
Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
<@#Willie_Nelson_Grandmas_Hands.txt#@>
Grandma's hands
Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands
Played a tambourine so well
Grandma's hands
Used to issue out a warning
She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
Might fall on a piece of glass
"Might be snakes there in that grass"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Soothed a local unwed mother
Grandma's hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands
Used to lift her face and tell her,
"Baby, Grandma understands
That you really love that man
Put yourself in Jesus hands"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands
Picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn't drop no apple core"
But I don't have Grandma anymore
If I get to Heaven I'll look for
Grandma's hands
<@#Willie_Nelson_Horse_Called_Music.txt#@>
High on a mountain in western Montana
A silhouette moves cross a cinnamon sky
Ridin' along on a horse he called Music
With a song on his lips, and a tear in his eye
He dreams of a time and a lady that loved him
And how he would sing her sweet lullabye
But we don't ever ask him, and he never talks about her
I guess its better to just let it slide
And he sings oooh to the ladies
And oooh he makes 'em sigh
Now he rides away on a horse he called Music
With a pain in his heart and a tear in his eye
Now he rode the Music from Boston to Bozeman
For not too much money, and way too much ride
But those were the days when a horse he called Music
Could jump through the moon and sail across the sky
Now all that's left is a old time worn cowboy
With nothing more than the sweet bye and bye
Trailin' behind is a horse with no rider
A horse he calls Memories that she used to ride
But he sang oooh to the ladies
And oooh he damn near laid down and died
Now he rides away on a horse he called Music
With a pain in his heart and a tear in his eyes
High on a mountain in western Montana
Two crosses cut through a cinnamon sky
Marking a place where a horse he called Music
Lays with a cowboy in the sweet bye and bye
<@#Willie_Nelson_How_Long_Is_Forever.txt#@>
I fell too hard and much too deep in love with you
I let you come and go at will it seems
You're back again this time you say forever
But I wonder just how long forever means
How long is forever this time
How long until one night you don't come home again
How long is forever this time how long until I'm all alone again
People say I'm foolish when I take you back
And it could be they're right but who can say
You'll be welcome here within my arms forever
Even when forever ends for me today
How long is forever this time...

This must be the place called paradise.
You are so precious to me,
What a special time within our lives.
And I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.
A thousand times I see you
And a thousand times you take my breath away.
Fears and doubts consume me and I'm afraid someone will take it all away.
I hope we're here forever, but I guess it's time that we both realized.
That I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.
I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

Love is but a song we sing
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
[Chorus]
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
And we will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
[Chorus]
If you hear the song we sing,
You will understand
You hold the key to love and fear
In your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both, you know
It's there at your command
[Chorus]
Right now
Right now

There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to
In my room, in my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears

Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday
Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room

Sit by the river's edge, and watch the water flow,
Sunlight that touched your face, and told you not to go.
Where, oh where, you search your heart - how much do you need?
All the things that take you far away from being alone.
Stay where your fellowship have watched you hide inside,
Don't you alarm the path where danger's arrows fly.
Places everywhere that seem to have no other days,
Calling out from what could only still be all alone.
Rain falls into your life, and leisure steals away,
Love and wishes floating down under today.
Sit by the river's edge, and watch the water flow,
Sunlight that touched your face, and told you not to go.
Where, oh where, you ask yourself - how much do you need?
All the things that take you far away from being alone.

Picked up my baby before the sun set -
She's always ready to step inside.
I can't wait, though, to get started,
And her love is so bona fide.
I'm in the mood for it, I'm in the mood for it,
Your love, your love.
Yeah, my serenity, her intentions -
And we were rolling on down that road.
She was tuned to, to perfection -
I was heading for that overload.
I'm in the mood for it, I'm in the mood for it,
Your love, your love.
It makes my engine overheat,
Puts me back into the seat,
It's just the nature, just the nature,
That makes my engine overheat.
Twin barrels burning, just like a rocket -
She took me faster than I've ever been.
There was nothing I could do, and I didn't ask for something
Like sitting on a guillotine. you know just what I mean.
I'm in the mood for it, right in the mood for it,
Your love, your love, your love, your love.
It makes my engine overheat -
Puts me back into the seat,
It's just the nature, it's just the nature of the beast.
Just the nature, just the nature,
Makes my engine overheat.

I went down to some backroom joint
Where I spent the night before,
Looking for the girl I love,
She left and wrote her name on my door.
She's got a guilty conscience of her own,
I've got to find out why she keeps running on,
Why she keeps running on.
Nobody gonna steal that woman, nobody for sure.
Genevieve, I got to find you, woman, tonight.
Deep in shadows of a neon-lit street
You know she gave me the slip.
I would love her every day,
But she's quicksilver in my grip.
Little darlin', you move too fast,
You're here one minute, and you're gone in a flash,
Gone in a flash.
Nobody gonna steal that woman, nobody for sure.
I got to find you,
Genevieve, I'm gonna find you tonight.
Genevieve, why did you leave?
Genevieve, why did you leave?
Don't you feel guilty, loving two men?
Well, I'm the one to stand by your side.
Oh, baby, yes I love you so,
But do you listen to his lies?
Make up your mind, who's your loving for?
You're in the middle of a battle with the man at war,

Nobody gonna steal that woman, nobody for sure.

Where does it go to
Outta my door?
How much have you got?
Is it enough for me
Or will I want more?
Oh,oh, you tell me you just want some fun.
Oh, oh, I'm trapped between the fire and the man with the gun.
Time in a vacuum,
Waiting for someone to say what they think.
But all that pretending doesn't convince me
'cause they just want to buy me a drink.
Oh, oh, you tell me you want to be free.
Oh, oh, baby, I'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea.
It's night in the city,
I'm filled with self-pity -
I'm taking the air.
If somebody hits me
Here in this city,
I swear I just don't care.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, I'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.

I thought I had been every place a man could be
'Till I met a lady who brought me to my knees
The day I stop loving is the day that I die
But now I'm running from her game 'cause the lady is a lie
I've got a choice
Run away or be torn to shreds
I've got a life and I want to live
Don't want to be dead
I met her down in the underground
Got a taste of the low life, just creepin' around
I got what I came for and more, that's for sure
'Cause now I'm running from her game, can't take any more
I've got a choice
Run away or be torn to shreds
I've got a life and I want to live
Don't want to be dead
When I first met you, baby
I knew you could come on strong
But when you held a knife to me
You know, that just ain't too friendly
I've heard of liberated,
But that's so understated
I should have listened to them
When they told me you were crazy
And you said I was a runaway
<@#Wishbone_Ash_Say_Goodbye.txt#@>
I can tell that you don't feel good
I guess you're not alone.
Now that you packed your things
And you're ready to go
Let's do something tonight I don't know.
We can take a ride across town
Come on, baby, get your clothes on.
All night long, we'll be so high
That's the way we'll say goodbye.
What's the name of the old cafe
Where we used to go?
It could be good to go there now
But I don't want to be unhappy today.
We can take a ride across town
Come on, baby, get your clothes on.
All night long, we'll be so high
That's the way we'll say goodbye.

I'm leaving to search for something new,
Leaving everything I ever knew.
A hundred years in the sunshine
Hasn't taught me all there is to know.
In the valley, we will gather there,
Helpless in our surrender.
Tomorrow the plow becomes the sword
Make us stronger in our danger.
Time will pass away,
Time will guard our secret.
I'll return again
To fight another day.
[Repeat x3]
I'd have to be a warrior
A slave I couldn't be
A soldier and a conqueror,
Fighting to be free

I've been around these vicious lies too
Too long to be neglecting the truth
I'm getting closer and I'm fully armed.
I'm about to hunt you down through
The big black hole right behind you
And I'm about to cut your wings away
'Cause I've been finding out
Where you've broken in
And I will take you out
When I close you in
I'm killing them all
I put my soul on the line
I purify sins
That I committed in life
I'll follow them all
And I'll be bringing them down
Wherever they go
I'm right behind
There's nowhere to go
Your head on the line
There is no rope
You're running out of time
So where will you go
When I will murder your soul
I'm about to do it your way
I will make your world unsafe
I never thought you'd get this far
?
You don't believe what all the signs say
I don't believe in judgment day
But you won't be leaving here unharmed
'Cause I've been finding out
Where you've broken in
And I will take you out
When I close you in
I'm killing them all
I put my soul on the line
I purify sins
That I committed in life
I'll follow them all
And I'll be bringing them down
Wherever they go
I'm right behind
There's nowhere to go
Your head on the line
There is no rope
You're running out of time
So where will you go
When I will murder your soul
You can't feel the pain
I scream in vain
You sink away
To the bottom
You can't break your chains
Break away from here.
I'm killing them all
I put my soul on the line
I purify my sins
That I committed in life
I'll follow them all
And I'll be bringing them down
Wherever they go
I'm right behind
There's nowhere to go
Your head on the line
There is no rope
You're running out of time
So where will you go
When I will murder your soul
<@#Within_Temptation_Silver_Moonlight.txt#@>
Till another little ray
Care about the day your heart breaks up
When you lose your way
I'm hellbound in this life
Keep fighting the coldest wars
It's always been like this but don't know why
And sleeping in your mind
You feel it, ties you down
Going down
I'll go by
No
Screaming at the walls of fire
Frozen into me
Hunted for the vertical sealed before that
It's where I wanna be
Screaming at the walls of fire
But I'm still running free
In the silver moonlight
I can't breathe
Woo
These days are only now
Breathe in the coldest lies
I think it's only what you have in mind
Hold onto the best of you
I hit the pavement
Going down
Don't know why
No
Screaming at the walls of fire
Frozen into me
Hunted for the vertical sealed before that
It's where I wanna be
Screaming at the walls of fire
But I'm still running free
In the silver moonlight
I can't breathe
No, I'm patient
But this colours that I live
All alone in this life
I cannot see
Dreams we hide are solid
But we can't let her bleed
Maybe what we make
Can you see?
Oh
(I will fight in this life
Defying the coldest wars
It's always been like this
But don't know why)
No
Screaming at the walls of fire
Frozen into me
Hunted for the vertical sealed before that
It's where I wanna be
Screaming at the walls of fire
I'm still running free
In the silver moonlight
I can't breathe
Woo
(Your fear will chain you down)
Till I know a little rain
Care about the day your heart breaks up
When you lose your way
<@#Within_Temptation_Sounds_Of_Freedom.txt#@>
(Freedom) Your call is coming
I'm dreaming away
For what lies hidden
It needs to be found
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
(Freedom)Voices forgotten
I hear them close by
Ghosts from the past I can see through their eyes
Are these the ancestors leaving me signs?
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
The sounds, they are all around
Forces start moving out
Taking sides, though there's so much
That I need to know
And soon it will be shown
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
When the ghosts are found, they will lead us to tomorrow
When the ghosts are found, they will lead us to tomorrow
If we could restart how it was before tomorrow
<@#Within_Temptation_Whole_World_Is_Watching.txt#@>
You live your life
You go day by day
Like nothing can go wrong
These skies are made
They're changing the game
You learn to play it hard
And I know you wish for more
And I know you try
And I hope you realize
You know the time is right
The whole world is watching when you rise
The whole world is beating for you right now
Your whole life is flashing before your eyes
It's all in this moment that changes all
What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
'Cause time's always slipping away
The whole world is watching
The whole world is watching
You and you rise.
You build your walls
Then break them away
'Cause that is what it takes
You saved yourself
You found who you are
And that never goes away
And I know you wish for more
And I know you try
And I hope you realize
You know the time is right
The whole world is watching when you rise
The whole world is beating for you right now
Your whole life is flashing before your eyes
It's all in this moment that changes all
What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
'Cause time's always slipping away
The whole world is watching
Yeah, the whole world is watching
You and you rise
Your sacrifice comes through your mind
But nothing is wasted
You made it now
You rise again, breaking out
He said that you're taken you paid the price
The whole world is watching
The whole world is watching
The whole world is watching
You and you rise
What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
'Cause time's always slipping away
The whole world is watching
Yeah, the whole world is watching
You and you rise

[Intro]
My momma ain't raise no fool nigga
Matter of fact, maybe she did
My momma raised a fool (haha)
But that don't mean we can't get rich
Too rich (too rich)
That's what they say
[Verse 1]
Humble beginnings, rich ass endings
Pockets on swole, big ass benjies
Started off losin', man it wasn't choosin'
Stuck with my nigga's, now we all winnin'
Rollin' up paper, ball like a Laker
Top on the building, I'm high as a 'scraper
What can I say now, cops know my name now
No time to play 'round, I'm rich and I'm paid now
Stay on that piece for shit for nigga's that spray rounds
Hear all the talk, they gon' come see you any day now
Try not to fade now, try to find a way out
Nobodies innocent nigga, get down or lay down
Made so much money but look how I'd paid out
Don't trust the bank no more so I went and got a safe in my house
Guess all these diamonds on my wrist, what you blinkin' about
It's all my money on my mind when I'm thinkin' about
[Hook]
Try to be the best that I can
They got the right decisions, handle it like a man
You know I try to do shit with my heart
They talk but I don't listen
I just finish what I start
You know I tried the nigga's that said I can't
They got the right decisions, handle business like a man
You know I try when people say I should change
Sometimes I'm done with trying, I'm just trying to be the same
[Verse 2]
Nigga's still hating, critics still waiting
Said that I'd change my ways and start catching these cases
But never said I'd stop counting these faces
Flyin' new places, buying them cases
Nigga's want problems, I don't entertain it
Cause if it's real problems, It's not entertainment
I'm rollin' a joint up, precise like a painter
The grind is what made us, the grind is what made us
Now the nigga's that I grew up with lookin' richer
Too much turnin' up, the club owners tryin' to censor
Tatted everywhere my full body full of scriptures
Pull up in the phantom, paparazzi takin' pictures
Sellin' so much swag, we should be your swag vender
Big winner in the club, big cash spender
Throwin' signs to my man like he a damn pitcher
Some shit you can't witness, my nigga we been business
[Hook]
Try to be the best that I can
They got the right decisions, handle business like a man
You know I try to do shit with my heart
They talk but I don't listen
I just finish what I start
You know I tried the nigga's that said I can't
They got the right decisions, handle business like a man
You know I try when people say I should change
Sometimes I'm done with trying, I'm just trying to be the same

Big money talkin' to you
Mothafucka thats 'cause big money brought it to you
I be stuntin while them little niggas sayin' nothin'
High ceilings high hoes
High prices for my clothes
And I don't even pay for it
Barely know who made the shit
Meet a bitch take a bitch
Straight back to that big crib
Let you roll some rapper weed
Put you on some new shit
Hit this weed I show you how I do this
My excuse is I'm in Cali so my smoke's highly exclusive
And my bitch bad my moneys through the roof
Your money short you lookin' mad, you Danny Bonaduce
Bitch I'm jumpin' in my coup
I'm rollin' something that tastes like fruit
And I hear them niggas talkin' shit
But there's nothing much that they can do
When I got a bitch in your city
You should try when you see her
Never trippin' on no hoes
Nigga what you thought we gettin' money over her
I'm ballin' hard, my niggas in the same gang
I do it big my niggas do the same thing (yeah)
I'm throwin' signs it's lookin' like I gang bang (uh)
I'm on the team it's lookin' like I gang bang
I'm rollin' up my niggas roll the same thing
I'm smokin' weed my bitch she smoke the same thing (yeah)
I'm throwin' signs it's looking like I gang bang (uh)
I'm on the team it's lookin' like I gang bang
I tell a bitch bow down
To a mothafuckin G ho
I work hard I drink slow
But I never keep drinks low smokey smokey, 'cause I'm a chief ho
Sippin' on pinot grigio, richie ho greedy ho
Got me everything like I copped me a genie ho
My car look like a building
Diamonds dancin on my wrist
Bitch I'm 10 feet tall
When I'm standin on top of my dick
You a sucka ho sucka ho I'm success
I feel like a million dollars, bitch I'm up next
Money in my hand I don't need no handout
And they all got they hands up
'Cause they fuck with me hands down (down down down)
And the car I push got more tent than a campground
And my picture is always on your bitch background
Like pada, it's just me and Cyhi
Young enough to be your son
But she call me big papa
She gave me her o nana
Then I dissapear like tada
Smokin on that tie-dye
Now who the fuck gon' stop us
I'm ballin' hard my niggas in the same gang
I do it big my niggas do the same thing
I'm throwin' signs it's lookin' like I gang bang
I'm on the team it's lookin' like I gang bang
I'm rollin up my niggas roll the same thing
I'm smokin' weed my bitch she smoke the same thing
I'm throwin' signs it's looking like I gang bang

<@#Wiz_Khalifa_Gettin_Paid.txt#@>
We blowin' money bitch
I go hard, I go hard, gettin' paid
I go hard, I go hard, gettin' paid
We don't even count the money no more we just blow it
(We spend it all up)
We don't even count the money no more we just throw it
And make 'em pick it all up
Money strapped to my waist
Somewhere in the whip I'm in with no bass
Flooded the trap I need a new place?
Money got to go I told 'em there's no space
Never love hoes, hoes I don't chase
Only wear loc's the same as my race
All I know is stunt, make a hater feel like shit to the point
That he in another place? Real talk
I-I-I ain't the one but I lean on haters, looking so clean on gator
Try to jack me, I guarantee I'll put the beam on haters
Hood nigga, when I come to this I'm stocked up
Shit on my wrist tryna light this block up
Nigga said I got a dope man swag, take a look at these jewels
Every one of 'em rocked up
And we still on the corner packed in
Ace town president somethin' back then
Hope the slut that I'm with got insurance so
She know I'm about to run up on her back end
Like I set of bad, she was gettin' plugged
Can take it to the streets, take it to the club
I don't rubber band shit I got trash bags
Niggas make it rain, I'ma make it flood
I ain't gonna talk shit I'ma talk bread
I f a hater don't like it, tell 'em drop dead
I'm in the hood like a fresh set of projects
Where they either rock blue or they rock red
I'm the king of the streets
Ain't nobody finna take away what I came to get
Audi R8 that I came is sick, with interior the color of a all white?
We don't even count the money no more we just blow it
(We spend it all up)
We don't even count the money no more we just throw it
(And make 'em pick it all up)
We don't even count the money no more we just blow it
(We spend it all up)
We don't even count the money no more we just throw it
(And make 'em pick it all up)
Big weed in my joint, diss me there's no point
Lil guy but still all my n-ggas got big heat they on point
Rollin up while I drive, engine be in the trunk
Decided in 2005 that I can fuck any bitch that I want
Ooh, and, and and I ain't trying to stunt
This a two seater my bitch can't help but ride up in the front
Ballin' most n-ggas wont try to pick 'em up
Throwin' so much money you even try to pick some up
You tryin' different stuff look at how I block 'em out
Smoke like a Cali nigga even when I'm in the south
And when when my car come out the whores come out
Don't even get on twitter no more
'cause I'm what your bitch talkin' 'bout
We don't even count the money no more we just blow it
(We spend it all up)
We don't even count the money no more we just throw it
(And make 'em pick it all up)
We don't even count the money no more we just blow it
(We spend it all up)
We don't even count the money no more we just throw it
(And make 'em pick it all up)
<@#Wiz_Khalifa_Hit_Tha_Flo.txt#@>
[Chorus]
Yeah it's goin' down, yeah it's goin' down
Watch it hit tha flo', watch it hit tha flo'
Watch it hit tha flo', watch it hit tha flo'
Watch it hit tha flo', watch it hit tha flo'
Watch it hit tha flo', watch it hit tha flo'
The way little shorty go I'm trying to think where i should take her
Watch her hit tha flo', I'm out here spending all this paper
Bought some cigarillos yeah I blow it by the acre
If you lookin' this good well shit I wanna meet your maker
Take her to my home, Say hello to my neighbors
She my biggest fan, I see her man just trying to save her
Put it in her mouth, and yeah my taste she's trying to savor
Shorty saying Khalifa Man should have his own flavor
Haters wanna be me, but can't walk in my Chuck Taylor's
All black eleven's, Mac-11 with the laser
Mami keep on shaking it like she a salt shaker
Hand on the ground, everybody around.
[Chorus]
A lot of niggas hate, but all the bitches wanna do me
Wizzle L. Jackson, Yeah my life is like a movie
Heavy Hustle Gang, Swisher Sweets with the jacuzzi
Probably fucked your girl, If you don't like it nigga sue me
Shawty from the hood, but in the club she actin' booshie
Body like a centerfold, Boy look at that booty
My ink got her gone, Wanting to know who tattoos me
Head game right, Just said she'd like to ride (Yeah)
DJ play my song, When it come on she gets excited
Before I leave the club, I'll put her number in my sidekick
Swagger on some different shit, She tell me that she like it
Watch her break it down, I ain't playin' around.
[Chorus]

[Intro]
[Hook: Wiz Khalifa]
I be overseas, I be in L.A
I be in the South, trappin' hard all day
I'm from Pittsburgh, but I be in the Bay
I be in New York, I be MIA
I be in Chi-town where they quick to spray
I be in Detroit where they gettin' paid
I be overseas, I be in LA
I be in New York, I be MIA
[Verse 1: Wiz Khalifa]
If you know me, you know I'm bout my bread
I count a hundred million dollars 'fore I go to bed
I'm smoking OG, I'm drinking champagne
I'm standing on the couch, just throwing up my damn gang
I'm out in A town, 'bout to go to Mansion
My jewelry on so all my dogs is ready for the action
I'm in my old school, my niggas ridin new
I'm in the Fountain Bleu like what you tryin' to do
I brought the whole thing so that's what I'mma smoke
I spent the whole thing, I'm never going broke
I'm rocking gold chains, I'm drinking til I croak
Smokin' 'til I choke, my watch need a vote
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Juicy J]
On vacation weed in rotation
Relaxation, trippy nation
Chasing bands, model chicks
Look like Sports Illustrated
I'm getting high as a plane
With no final destination
On that gin, on that Hen
And that lean intoxication
Rocking dollars, rocking gold
Money tall like Manute Bol
In a presidential suite
With some playmates in a fold
Niggas out here chasing ass
When they should be chasing cash
I be smoking til it's gone
Juicy J don't waste no gas
With her legs lift up
I thought it was a stick up
Should've seen them hoes that pick up
Bands hard to lift up
Yellow diamonds look like a bumble bee
They call me the money tree
All these bands on me, I can throw a jamboree
[Hook x2]
[Outro]
You already know what it is Nigga
It's that Cabin Fever 2
Shout out to everybody who got the first Cabin Fever

My shit bang out the trunk of your car
Its the cities known rap spitta
Semi blown clack niggas
Skin and bones but really known as that nigga
I'm known to chase the bucks
Grind to get my paper up
In the studio writin' rhymes til the paper crunch
I'm not the type that you would call em a thug
But I'm a hustler its all in my blood
So if its all for the cheese then I'm in it
My screws kinda loose so I ease to the finish
I hop up in the coupe feel the breeze while I'm in it
Blowin' smoke up out the roof from the trees that I'm spliffin'
Youngin' got the game on lock
I'm on top its a shame y'all not
You a lame put your brain on pot
Leave you wet like the rain y'all drop
I'm gon' rock and I ain't gon' stop, nigga
[Chorus]
Who's the kid spittin' flames
Changin' the game
His name, its wiz khalifa man
From the home of the brick
Where they know for the cake
The place, that steel city damn
I got that Pittsburgh sound
And Imma always hold pittsburgh down
Its Wiz Khalifa man
You cant tell by now
Pittsburgh Imma swell my town
That steel city damn
Roll rubber you don't know who you dealin' with
Oh so innocent but flows so billigant
My spit games like a 44 killin' shit
Know your man warm but the young ball killin' shit
Realist shit and your main wife dig me
Game try and hit me
Kick game like 50 cent
Niggas wanna play games I quickly
Mob with a squad that will bang y'all wit' me
And they want the kid still hurtin'
Hundred niggas wit hammers
Yea that's wat I call a steal curtain
I handle my time and still work it
Put in work couple mil. worth in
And I'm from Pittsburgh where the green
And the eatin' is good
Where the fiends do everything in the hood
Everyday is like a war so my soldiers ride fatiguesin the hood
And we gettin' all the green like we should
You know yea
[Chorus]
<@#Wiz_Khalifa_Roll_Up.txt#@>
I roll up
I roll up

Shawty I roll up

Its your anniversary isn't it
And your man ain't acting right
So you packin' your Damier luggage up
Callin' my cell phone, tryin' catch a flight
You know one thing straight,
I'll be there girl whenever you call me
When you at home that's your man,
Soon as you land you say that's all me
'Cause shit ain't all G with him no more, you ain't entertained
Since I meet you a couple months ago you ain't been the same
Not sayin' I'm the richest man alive but I'm in the game
As long as you keep it one hundred Imma spend this change
[Chorus]
Whenever you need me
Whenever want me,
You know you can call me, I'll be there shortly
Don't care what your friends say, 'cause they don't know me
I can be your best friend, and you be my homie
I ain't gon' flex, I'm not gon' front
You know if I ball, then we all gon' stunt
Send her my way, she ain't gotta hold up
Whenever you call baby I roll up, I roll up, I roll up
Whenever you call baby I roll up, I roll up, I roll up
Whenever you call baby I roll up
I try to stay out your business
But on the real you're so obvious
And if you keep fitting me in your plans and fuckin' up,
Your mans gonna catch onto us
That white sand surrounding us
He be handcuffing, he should work for them officers
If you rolling I got a spot
Where I can put you on this medical,
And send you home doctored up
You wanna ride with me 'cause you say that he boring
Wake up you rollin' weed, cooking eggs in the morning
Ain't scared to spend this money I'll make more of it
First you was in the sky now you say you in orbit
[Chorus]
No matter where I am
No matter where you are
I'll be there when its over baby
'Cause I was there from the start
No matter if I'm near
Don't matter if your far
All you do is pick the phone up lady
And I'll be there when you call
Whenever you need me
Whenever want me,
You know you can call me, I'll be there shortly
Don't care what your friends say, 'cause they don't know me

Started off on the island, AKA Shaolin
Niggas wilin', gun shots thrown, the phone dialin'
Back in the days of 8 now, making a tape now
Rae gotta get a plate now
Ignorant and mad young, wanted to be the one
Till I got (Blaow! Blaow! Blaow!) felt one
Yeah, my pops was a fiend since 16
Shooting that "that's that shit!" in his blood stream
That's the life of a grimey, real-life crimey
And niggas know that habit's behind me
Day one, yo, growing all up in the ghetto
Now I'm a weed fiend, jetting the Palmetto
In Medina, yo, no doubt the God got crazy clout
Pushing the big joint from down South
So if you're filthy stacked up
Better watch your back and duck
Cause these fiends, they got it cracked up
Now my man from up north, now he got the law
It's solid as a rock and crazy salt
No jokes, I'm not playing, get his folks
Desert Eagle his dick and put em in a yoke
And to know for sure, I got reck and rip shop
I pointed a gat at his mother's knot
Yo, Rae, don't do that shit, man! Don't do that shit!
Fuck that!
Dedicated to the winners and the losers
Dedicated to all Jeeps and Land Cruisers
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Dedicated to the Y's, 850-I's
Dedicated to niggas who do drive-bys
(Can it be that it was all so simple then?)
Dedicated to the Lexus and the Ac's
Dedicated to MPV's: phat!
Kicking the fly cliches
Doing duets with Rae and A, happens to make my day
Though I'm tired of busting off shots, having to rock knots
Running up in spots and making shit hot
I'd rather flip shows instead of those
Hanging on my living room wall
My first joint, and it went gold!
I want to lamp, I want to be in the shade
Plus the spotlight, getting my dick rode all night
I want to have me a phat yacht
And enough land to go and plant my own sess crops
But for now it's just a big dream
Cause I find myself in the place where I'm last seen
My thoughts must be relaxed, be able to maintain
Cause times is changed and life is strange
The glorious days is gone, and everybody's doing bad
Yo, mad lives is up for grabs
Brothers passing away, I gotta make wakes
Receiving all types of calls from upstate
Yo, I can't cope with the pressure
Settling for lesser
The God left lessons on my dresser
So I can bloom and blossom, find a new way to
Continue to make more hits with Rae and A
Sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
Peace to mankind, Ghostface carry a black 9

"The story you're about to see, occurred along the main
Trading route, on the border between the North and South
At a small outpost called Red Clay Village."
What the fuck y'all niggas thought, huh? What you thinkin' bitch?
Are you stupid son, must be stupid kid
What the fuck is wrong? It's the Wu bitch
Ain't got a clue bitch, tie ya shoe bitch
Get the fuck back, 'fore we break a f, listen
Tryin' to tell y'all niggas, give you a fair warnin'
Just a chance to live, so you can see ya kids
Yo son nah, before I split ya wig
I'd rather feed you this, but you ain't wanna eat it
So now you got to feel it!
Yo what the, yo
Let me fuck it one more time then y'all can fuck
Y'know how we do it in the hood
Yo, yeah, turn the mic up, yeah, yo
Y'all niggas better rock y'all hoodies
Take money snatch jewelry, in the hood
You find the best woman lookin' good
Diamond she need polishin'
In my hood, all the gunshot legal
At the same time we gotta stop killin' our people
Keep it in the hood, niggas walk with they gun
Keep it in the hood that's where we come from
I rep Brooklyn, home of the gangsta
I know a few murderer, drug dealer
In the hood, we speak mathematics and build
What's the total weight of the brain, Allah real
Slang jacks and hold gats, in the hood, 80 proof
Get my dick sucked on the roof of the projects
Dice game in the park, blunt sessions after dark
Movin' with the Wesson
Welcome to the God we build and drop a lesson
Pussy hole testin', in the hood
Got the word from the hood rat, shorty on the wood
Murder, bad boy ya block off ah
Murder, rude boy ya pop off ah
Murder, nine millimeter me say
Murder, no time fi talk, one fi
Murder, men an' dem ah talk 'bout di
Murder, Masta Killa come calm wit nying
Nying, nying, nying, nying, nying
Nying, nying, nying, nying, nying, me say murder
Hey yo, we boys in the hood, big bad wolves in the woods
It ain't all good, pass the goods
Deep in the project halls waitin' to shine
Walk with a nine and talk with gang signs
In the hood, niggas put twenty on Hoopties
Four heads, one forty ounce and a loosie
And keep dough on the flip, a hoe on the strip
And roll dick throw on the flip
Weed clouds thick enough to block the sun
Cops come, but thugs never drop the gun, understood?
Far from ya Hollywood
From day one, I vowed I would keep it in the hood
From project chicks with hips and slim waists
From five dollar plates apartment six-eighths
O.G, I spit G to the young ones
I keep it in the hood that's where I come from
Murder, bad boy ya block off ah
Murder, rude boy ya pop off ah
Murder, nine millimeter me say
Murder, no time fi talk, one fi
Murder, men an' dem ah talk 'bout di
Murder, Masta Killa come calm wit nying
Nying, nying, nying, nying, nying
Nying, nying, nying, nying, nying, me say murder
This is the place where thugs is born, in the hood
Blink to long ya life is gone, in the hood
Convicts still live with they mom
And they whole family tree is tattooed on they arm, in the hood
Crack fiend'd furnish a 'Llac, in the hood
African's be drivin cabs, in the hood
In the streets the ghetto is hot
And the illest gangsters, on the block with cops, in the hood
The ones you love'll fill you with slugs, in the hood
Babies born addicted to drugs, in the hood
We make life or death decisions
And the school system is like a minimal prison
So you can't knock the hustle or the life that I'm livin
In the hood, it ain't all good, repent or you sinnin
[Repeat: x2]
Murder, bad boy ya block off ah
Murder, rude boy ya pop off ah
Murder, nine millimeter me say
Murder, no time fi talk, one fi
Murder, men an' dem ah talk 'bout di
Murder, Masta Killa come calm wit nying

After laughter, comes tears
Yo check yo yo, check the script
Me and the gods get it ripped
Blunts in the dip, forty dogs in my lip
Had a box, 'Boom Boom' the bass will blast
We was laughing, at all the girls that passed
Conversation, brothers had begin to discuss
(Hey yo, Ra, remember that kid ya bust?)
Aw yeah, he ran, but he didn't get far
Cause I dropped him, heh heh heh heh heh ha!
Not knowin', exactly what lied ahead
My little brother, my mother sent him out for bread
Get the Wonder, it's a hot day in the summer
Didn't expect, to come across, a crazy gunner
"Hey Shorty, check it for the bag and the dough"
But he was brave, looked him in the eye, and said "No!"
Money splattered him, BOW! then he snatched the bag
In his pockets, then he jetted up the Ave.
Girls screamin', the noise up and down the block
(Hey, Rakeem!) What? (Your little brother got shot!)
I ran frantically, then I dropped down to his feet
I saw the blood, all over, the hot concrete
I picked him up, then I held him by his head
His eyes shut, that's when I knew he was
Aw man! How do I say goodbye?
It's always the good ones who have to die
Memories in the corner of my mind
Flashbacks, I was laughin' all the time
I taught him, all about the bees and birds
But I wish I had a chance to sing these three words
After laughter, comes tears
Me and my man, my ace big Moe from the shelter
Bout to hit the skins, from this girl named Thelma
Now Thelma had a rep, that was higher than her neck
Every girl from Shaolin dissed her respect
We was stimmy, you know how it is when you're blitzed
Three o'clock in the morning, something gots to give
Moe said he'll go first, I said I'll take next
Here, take this raincoat, and practice safe sex
He seemed to ignore, I said be for real
She's not even worth it, to go raw deal
A man's gonna do what a man's gonna do
He got butt-naked and stuck the power you
Twenty minutes went by, my man went out, without a doubt
I'm not pumpin' up, I am, airin' you
Hey yo, he came out laughing with glory
I'm surprised, he's still livin', to tell his story
But he carried on, with the same old stuff
with Stephanie, like a whammy, he pressed his luck
Both tried to be down with O.P.P.
Ain't nothin' wrong but he got caught with the H.I.V. now
No life to live, doc says two more years
So after the laughter, I guess comes the tears
After laughter, comes tears
After laughter, comes tears
<@#Wu-Tang_Clan_The_Heart_Gently_Weeps.txt#@>
Wu, Wu, Wu, Tang, Tang, Tang
The joy the flowers bring me
The pain still has me sinking
All while the heart gently weeps
Your smell has got me shrinking
The tears in your eyes are twinkling
Because the heart gently weeps

Snowy night, fiends basing
A Raisin in the Sun was amazing
The joint on the dresser, a gauge went off
Jumped up, fish tank, it fell and they stuck
They shot her cousin LaVon, he owed a buck
Willie was awful, pulled out the ratchet, let off two
Grits fell on his leg, Kiana ripped the cold bowl
He violent, an Island nigga with the talent
Of six killas who just came home, from straight wilding
Robbing everything in Macy's, Lacy, short haircut
With long arms, who fuck niggas, got four babies
Yvette jabber her, slapped her wig off, ran in the crib
She did the dumb shit, my nigga then clapped her
Lester, smoked Chester sister, Vest, I heard it was a mess
They ripped the apple out her throat, blessed her
Hungry hyenas from Medina, all eight trained us
Who got reluct', think fast, and blast from Beamers
[Ghostface Killah]
I brought my bitch out to Pathmark, she's pushing the cart
Headed to aisle four, damn I got milk on my Clark's
That's what I get, not focusing, from hitting that bar
My mouth dried, need plenty water quick, I feel like a shark
In the aisle, busting them paper towels and wiping my Wally's down
I stood up to face a barrel, he's holding a shiny pound
It's him, he want revenge, I murdered his Uncle Tim
I sold him a bag of dope, his wife came and copped again
That bitch is crazy and uh, she brought her baby
She knew I hard the murders, a smack, it killed her man though
Now I got his fucking nephew gripping his gat, you'se a bitch...
You better kill me... you know you're booty...
You pulled your toolie out on me... motherfucker!
First thought was to snatch the ratchet, said fuck it and fucking grabbed it
I ducked, he bucked twice, this nigga was fucking laughing
I wrestled him to the ground, tustle, scuffle, constantly kicked him
He wouldn't let go the joint so I fucking bit him
Shots was whizzing, hitting Clorox bottles
Customers screaming, then the faggot ran out of hollows
I had to show him what it's all about
Next thing you read in the paper "A man who came to kill, gets knocked out"
[Chorus: Erykah Badu]
I don't know whhhhhhhhhhhy... nobody told you
Man's not supposed to cry...
Though we're just babies... and you're so crazy
How tears of joy, bring so much life
[Method Man]
Yo aiyo yo yo yo
You on ya way to the store, nigga, grab me a Dutch
I'm mad as fuck, my dude, my count was short when I was bagging it up
Now I need liquor, nigga pass me a cup
What's up with Officer Brown? The other day he tried to shackle me up
He killed Kase and now he hassling us
This motherfucker got balls, even the gaul to try and patten me up
Time to re-up, let these niggaz know we back on the block
With three hundred off a G-pack, it's cracking the spot
[Chorus]
<@#Wu-Tang_Clan_The_Monument.txt#@>
[Busta Rhymes]
Yeah, yeah yeah now, what the fuck now?
Flipmode Wu-Tang shit, what the fuck now?
Yeah yeah yeah..
Historical and monumental shit
What the fuck now? Yeah, yeah, yeah
Straight smack a nigga right in the face like this was handball
Or make a mural out his face up on a damn wall
Niggas play hard and shit, if you know what's best for you
Why y'all niggas better safeguard your shit
Even though we rep brass knuckle rap
Fuck with street geniuses and bowlegged chicks who walk with a gap
Street niggas now the corporate boss
Still go to why y'all restaurant for steamed fish and Irish moss
And why-yo, the way we do it and you see how my shit bomb
Your whole show wack and I'ma cancel your sitcom
Fuck a nigga broad 'til she tired and real calm
You ain't knowing my name tattooed on your bitch arm
The way we blow shit is a shame
Casually bust my gun and celebrate busting a cork on the champagne
Wrote you with a whole new approach that lead a whole team of niggas
Why'all should know I only ball like a coach, now!
[Raekwon the Chef]
Check out the light fixture, freak lines like white bitches
Let the mic lines - hang that slang is ridiculous
Emperor of warlords, big gun only fuck with sawed-offs
That's my specialty, more to bust
Shot out my bed parrot keep it gangster Lord
I analyze your work those that got merked were not established
Texture look classy, arm baby 2000 raspberry
S-5, blowin through Asbury
Soon to own steakhouses, glowin like makeover thousand
Them them niggas, robbing from Pinkhouse's
Show and prove, knocking off cab drivers
God, sodomize money, ring two hundred thousand
See the color of the carved out Wu emblem
Baby, it's all designers, tailor-made Wu gooses
Limousine, automatic new Uzi's in 'em yo
Relax, cousin just cruise through, jewels with him
[GZA]
Move up the block, giant box blast my song
Non-stop strictly hip-hop, march on
Doo-rag hang long, metal tape is high-bias
Graphics, captured with the colorful, iris
I zoom in, while the listeners tune in
Some assuming they paid dues and joined the union
Lost nigga couldn't rumble in this wild jungle
Quick to crumble, type to be on the stand and fumble
Divine Master, threw on the track that made 'em bleed
He produce at unattainable rains of top speed
This powerful magnet, that left 'em stagnant
Was unlikely in cameras in larger fragments
Un-filled rifle, scout sniper, shots precise
Starlight scope, with the night vision device
Splendid marksman, that'll shoot the one off the dice
Split a grain of rice, in one shot we kill 'em twice

This is as real as it gets y'all
And it don't get no realer than this
This is as real as it gets y'all, huh
Maybe my mother, coulda been my father
Perhaps it was my sister, probably my brother
Maybe the church, coulda been the street
Perhaps it was the guitar, or Jerry Wonder beats
Maybe the money when I didn't have a dime
Maybe a way out before committing crimes
Coulda been Lauryn, perhaps it was Pras
Probably the mirror looking dead in my eyes
Coulda been reggae, or the love of hip-hop
Maybe my fans at the show saying don't stop
Probably the struggle of all refugees
Maybe the sign how the diamonds bling-bling, ching-ching
Ring ring, there's a call from my wifey, whoo
Perhaps I gotta make it home but music keep calling me
And maybe it's all I know, whatever it is I'm grateful for being
A man with a guitar, a dude from the streets
A cat with a song, a ReFugee MC
Wyclef Jean, a Fugee for life
A preacher's son, first one on the run
I'm grateful that I haven't been shot
Stopped by the cops and they didn't find a glock
W-Y-C-L-E-F, I'm grateful
Coulda been a crack fiend with no place to go
Lord, oh mighty God, have mercy on my soul
Coulda been Pablo, king of Yayo
Or a pimp with a limp screaming we don't love them hoes
Oh no, God knows, perhaps I was chosen
A source of inspiration for the next generation
And maybe it's all I know, whatever it is I'm grateful for being
A man with a guitar, a dude from the streets
A cat with a song, a ReFugee MC
Wyclef Jean, a Fugee for life
A preacher's son, first one on the run
I'm grateful that I haven't been shot (shot)
Stopped by the cops and they didn't find a glock (glock)

You can make it if I made it
Don't let anyone tell you different

Let um feel the beat first
I'm bout to come through your stereo
Should my rhyme start with the hook
Start with the hook
To my people who don't want to go to work
Thank God it's Friday
Cover me she bout to put up her skirt
Thank God it's Friday
Do Your mom now you act so berserk
Thank God it's Friday
What's the track, what's the track girl?
She don't want to, she don't want to work on Monday
(I want to thank my hood)
For makin' me a star before I had fast cars
And couldn't tell the difference between Whoppers and caviar
Before the fame
Way before things changed
All I wanted to do was freestyle and get a name
I used to work at the fast food restaurant
For minimum wage
Dreamin' I'm on stage
At 17 I left the house
'Cause my father was a minister
And I didn't want the Marvin route
What's goin' on?
Today to sell a song you need a video with soft porn
MC's in the industry
You want to tip?
Don't let them pimp you like Goldy
And tell Sony they better have my money
'Cause I play wit the Comodores and be like Lionel Richie
Low Income, I stay so hungry that if 50 Cent came to rob me
He'd be part of my charity
(I want to thank my hood)
To my people cuttin' here in the shops
Thank God it's Friday
To the thugs sweatin' up in the chop shops
Yo, it's Friday
To my people that don't got no job
Everyday it's Friday
What's the track, what's the track yo?
She don't want to, she don't want to work on Monday
All the Ladies sing
I don't feel
Like cookin' you no breakfast
This mornin'
(Wyclef: All my hoodlums say)
You don't have
To cook me breakfast
'Cause your girlfriend will
After you leave
(I want to thank my hood)
For the love of money
I know kids who'll slit your throat
Friday the 13th
Jason wit a trench coat
But you can't scare Suzie
Cause her man got so many uzi's you'd think he was Cadivi
Meanwhile, she's getting her nails done
Crystal clear so they could shine like wit diamonds
It's such a shame what happened last week
Man they found her under the sheets with a letter from the Son of Sam
It said to tell New York I ain't sleepin
You want to be clubbin then you better pack your heat in
And to my man G Swar Rest in Piece
I still poor liquor
1 draw on the cocoa leaf
Inhale, exhale smoke grasses
Polices in the area, but ain't no need to panic
You wit Wyclef you getting in
If not, then we gonna make CNN
(I want to thank my hood)
To my people who don't want to go to work
Thank God it's Friday
Cover me she bout to put up her skirt
Thank God it's Friday
Do your mom know you act so berserk?
Thank God it's Friday
What's the track, what's the track girl?
She don't want to she don't want to work on Monday
Yo, to my people cuttin here in the shops
Thank God it's Friday
To the thugs sweatin up in the chop shops
Yo, it's Friday
To my people who don't got no job
Everyday it's Firday
What's the track, what's the track yo?
She don't want to she don't want to work on Monday
All the Ladies sing
I don't feel
Like cookin you no breakfast
This mornin
(Wyclef: All my hoodlums say)
You don't have
To cook me breakfast
'Cause your girlfriend will
After you leave
(Daddy, play that guitar)
<@#Wyclef_Jean_Oh_What_A_Night.txt#@>
It's funny how the Earth rotates, man you never know what's
going to happen, ya know mean?
All I said was "Aiight, I got this chiki bang bang dang da dang"
Then it all got it started for me, man
Yo, man I'm just getting back from the tour, man
What it be like, man?
Yo, bust it, turn me up
Somebody told me if you can make in New York City, man, you can
make it anywhere else, man
Somehow I believe that shhhh
[Chorus]
Oh, what a night
Late December, 1993 (what happened?)
Who thought he would rule the industry?
What an MC on the grind
Yo, I ain't always have whips, I ain't always have yachts
I ain't always have chips, I ain't always have rocks
Matta fact I was a grimey little negro
Who said if music didn't work, I'd sell diesel
What cha'll thought, I wasn't raised in the projects?
First of the month waitin for that PA check
Lived on the first floor
Were so poor that if you rung the buzzer the roaches would answer the door
(who is it?)
I went from boy to man in one night
When I saw my life flash like light from poltergeist
What made it worse, I couldn't speak English
But from his facial expressions, he wanted my Adidas
So hurry up and come out and play
I'll be damned if I leave bare-footed in this hallway
And I got big plans, so beg your pardon
Cause next year this time I'ma sell out the Garden
[Chorus]
Yo, yo, I ain't gonna brag and boast and say I did it all
But I'm the only rapper to play Carnegie Hall
The first rap group, video cost a million
First rapper to ever rep for the Haitians
And sa fa say, na boolay
Grammy night, we took 3 away
22 million sold, I can't believe this
There's still ain't a rapper alive who could achieve this
But I ain't satisfied, when back to my home contemplating
How could I become the next Quincy Jones?
That's when Jerry hit me up on the horn and said
"Clef, your on the cover of
the cover of The Source by The Rolling Stones"
No more struggling, good life we loving it
You could live it too, if you only publish it
So here we go, so what's the scenario?
I own so many cars that I'm renting 'em for videos
[Chorus]
<@#Wyclef_Jean_Red_Light_District.txt#@>
Intro
Yea, oh!
Check me out, look
It goes love, hate, pleasure and pain
Four albums in the can and I'm still in the game (what up?)
And last album, they don't like me to tell this
Debuted at number one and sold more records than Elvis (shut up!)
That's what they telling me, switch up your melody
Through with misdemeanors, they trying to give rappers felonies
So they can lock us up one at a time
But true writers stay free in every one of our lines
And if you not feeling I'm the cream of the crop
I'll knock rappers off your list 'til I get to the top!
Still you looking at a man that's financially stable
Only nigga getting checks cut from four different labels
That Pillsbury dough, women poke my guts
Still I walk around the streets like I'm broke as fuck
So if you see me in your town and I appear to be moody
It's cause I'm thinking 'bout plans that's bigger than Serena booty
Me and shaka still starving and looking for meals
And heads up! Ludacris is almost out of his deal
I'm over ten million sold, every album is crack
And for now I'm bout to carry def jam on my back
Mad rappers I hear you talking way down at the bottom
Though I make big money, still handle small problems
The rambling at the mouth, I don't play that shit
I'm the best and I ain't really got say that shit!
<@#Wyclef_Jean_Riot.txt#@>
[Wyclef:] Yo Serj, pass me that lighter...
[Serj:] Here you go man
Yeah... yeah
[Both:] Yeah
[Serj:] The power is smiling through the battle field...
The break is over man
I'm fat with the ink pen
Like Ali Boom Bayay
Okay I'm on my second wind
Used to roll dice when the love was on my side, man
Four, five, six walked away with the Grammy
Seen many blocks turn to the Twilight Zone
D.A. on a case like Sherlock Holmes
My old high school sweetheart started sniffin' a bone
For the right bag she deep blow deeper than the baritone
I caught you off guard, this verse is unexpected
Check it
Like when I rhyme don't big punch wreck it
Check it
I got a swagger that cut any rapper mind over matter
Lyrical dagger like alcohol I got pull your liver
Quiver, shiver body temperature can found in Hudson River
Deliver a message to your miss you won't be commin' over
And if you on a street tonight
See that refugee local
We beam around the world like satellite
[Chorus: 1]
It's the hip hop boys, turn your radio down
It's the rock and roll boys, turn your radio down
It's the reggae boys, turn your radio down
Neighbors mind your business
[Chorus: 2]
It's a riot... Trouble (comin') again, your body's getting nervous
See we're trouble (comin') again, body so unconscious
You see we're trouble (comin') again, your body's getting nervous
See we're trouble (comin') again, body so unconscious
[Sizzla:]
Come rock with me
I got the music on the block with me
Come chill on the spot with me
I'm just laughin' spree
Yeah you're right we got enough for everyone
So get all your friends and your families and come along
Move to the beat that's all we do
We got Jerusalem
Everyday we offer praises like King Soloman
Don't be nervous
I'm your guardian angel, I know you're nervous
And if I look at you now
If I should make it
Believe me
I leave you, show you how to make it
Pump up high
N M I
Double S - I
S - S - I
P ? P - I
Three peace child
Want to see me die
So the heaven's get cry
[Chorus: 1]
It's a riot!
Riot!
Riot!
Riot!
From the train to the plane
Security check
From the bridge to the tunnel
Security check
[Chorus: 2]
[Wyclef (Serj):]
Let's go to Texas...
Driving wreck-less
Police stop me
Ask me for my license
(Oh yeah)
Registration so I played him some Elvis
He let me go
Then I lit on the challas
I said if things don't change
We headed for the Armageddon
Armageddon
And the great dragon with seven heads ten horns
At the Armageddon
Listen to the choired church...
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Serj:]
The matterings of all matter
Masters and their extended batters
Internet intelligence firm
Investments for the natural world
Their divestments
Truth is knowledge
Although bipolar if it's attainment is equitable
Man's mirrors face the flesh
But hide the spirit
In opposite worlds
Vision can only be attained universally
Lamps of varied sizes and shapes carrying different shades
All having the propensity to illuminate
Let's ruminate on realization
That the means is the end
The earth's water is mirroring the stream of consciousness
The dead being reborn
As flowers smiling through the battlefields
It's the hip hop boys, turn your radio down
It's the rock and roll boys, turn your radio down
[Serj:] Power is smiling through the battle field...
[Chorus: 2]
<@#Wyclef_Jean_What_About_The_Baby.txt#@>
I want to apologize for makin you wait so long for the sequel
Wyclef, Mary J., this one called 'What About the Baby'
You ever been like
[Wyclef]
Let me talk to my daughter
Daughter this is your poppa
I know it's been a while
We haven't talked
[Mary J. Blige]
But daddy you've been gone
And me and mom have been all alone
It's been a struggle and you weren't there for us
He say
[Wyclef Jean]
Okay, when I called you
She wouldn't put you on the phone
She call the police, restrainin order
50 feet, from my home
I tried, I ain't lyin
It's so sad that the heavens cryin, AYY!
Once a boy and twice a man
I'm just tryin to do the best I can
Give me a chance girl
[Chorus: Wyclef]
A grown man ain't supposed to cry
So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice
Everything gon' be alright
Baby girl I'm by your side, dry your eyes
[Mary J. Blige]
Let's talk this over
Now see I heard everything that you told her
But it's gon' take more than words
For you to be a father, uh-huh
Responsibilities of a man
Like stayin faithful just for the fam'
What if she knew that you chose
Another over her mother, aowwww!
So you called her
And I wouldn't put her on the phone
I called the police yes, restrainin order
50 feet, from my home
I tried, I ain't lyin
It's so sad that the heavens are cryin, yeahhh
Once a girl, twice of a man
And I'ma try to do the best I can
I can't give you a chance noooo
[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
A woman ain't supposed to cry
So why don't you just wipe your eyes, dry your eyes
You've learned a house is not a home
When you're living all alone, and you want back home
[Wyclef]
Wait a minute girl! You're my joy, happiness that you bring
Turn the fall back to spring girl, you're my bling
You a hip-hop song I heard for the first time time
Studied all the words to the rhyme
You're my life, without you there's no sun, there's no moon
There's no stars, shinin in the ni-iight
[Mary J. Blige]
But if I give you a chance, would you show me you care
Be a man, no matter what the circumstances
Ahhhow!
[Wyclef]
A grown man ain't supposed to cry
So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice
[Blige]
You've learned a house is not a home
When you're living all alone, and you want back home
[Chorus: Wyclef]
A grown man ain't supposed to cry
So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice
(What about the baby! What about the baby!)
Everything gon' be alright
Baby girl I'm by your side, I apologize!
I cry, and I cry, I cry
<@#X-Raided_Who_But_Me.txt#@>
[X-Raided talking]
Nigga who was the first one screamin' the block
on these records nigga?
Who was the first nigga that brought the town
really nationwide nigga?
Who but me nigga?
[Verse 1]
Draggin' it tellin' it nigga ways, and peepin' the game
Packin' it sellin' it nigga pay, keepin' the change Raided,
Deep in the game crack, sellin' it nigga track
Hit the bell and it hold back on the scene
wid felons greens inhalin' the smoke
Sub-machines full ah violence on foes
in the club shoot beams and walk,
Lookin' for fiends sellin' souls to the cops red,
Died in his shirt hurt, silence is proved dead
I'm a soul to the block nigga that think violence is cute
Chase niggas in hot pursuit, nine's is mute
Silencers screwed on the nose of the barrels
That cry murders youth,
throw holes in devils like po' do
Cause riots and urge my loc if to ghost you
Madman motherfucka we lootin' this mansion
Cause you lyin', rhymin' wid passion but no truth
Bad hands is dealt, like gamblers in Vegas
milk wives and niggas amplifiers invade the,
Scrambler motherfuck it he called yo convo
Red or blue if you cut the wrong one the bomb blow
We roll super thick like fire ants
Troop wid heat like we bought gun stores wid my advance
Who but me?
[Chorus 2X: X-Raided] and (Dott Dogg)
Who be flashin' (nigga!)
Who be mashin' (nigga!)
Who be smashin' (nigga!)
Who but me? (Madman!)
If you cashin' (nigga!)
If you blastin' (nigga!)
If you thrashin', troop wid me (Madman!)
[Verse 2]
I'm can cannin' it nigga
Been bringin' it nigga
Fuck a lil glocks and bails been bringin' it nigga
Scope loc Dogg crippin' it, slip the clip in it
Catch 'em slippin' on dubs jack, then I'm strippin' it
Hennessey sippin' it, dope sack flippin' it
Call the case I still got, court Dott skippin' it
I ain't new to this nigga, been true to this nigga
Off branch talkin' bout what they gon' do to this nigga
But I ain't feelin' them niggas
So I'm killin' them niggas
Don't you try to tell him now these
pair ah villains fillin' up niggas
y'all know how I do, and know what I does
Set trip ain't no love, let 'em know what's up 'cause
Madman till my casket drop it don't stop
Fuck the haters and the cops
Tell them niggas give you props
And I only got my love for my thugs and bitches
And all I got for enemies is some slugs and stitches
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
You'll get lost in the mix nigga, swallowed in the game
You get the flossin' it slippin' it up wildin' wid the pain
Like Baby Layne, catch you in the mall and stomp ya brain
Cause I want yo chain I'm sick and don't want to change
My niggas is followin' the same groove we,
Stick to the scripts stick to the Crips
All them other fools get dicks to the lips
So I share no blunt, my bitch bought Nikes and boxers
Don't wear no pumps, buy me a glock and report it stolen
Holdin' my chips to the roll of the die
wid the loot like Scrooge Mcduck tuck yo jewels
Or my crew push up the conversatin' choose to buck
Momma waitin' for me to rise,
Motivation to my girl be demise
You hear me nigga be advised I do whatever it takes
Get together wid snakes, go to hell and sit forever and bake
Look in my eyes you can see it if you willin' to try
True indeed no disguise for what I'm feelin' inside
Who but me?
[Chorus]
<@#X-Ray_Spex_Cigarettes.txt#@>
Packet of cigarettes on the counter
Carrying a government health warning
Still they want the money, still they want the tax
Still they want the money, still they want the tax
Why not take paper currency and light it up?
A lower tar content and a quicker puff
Then you could keep the money, you could keep the tax
You could keep the money, you could keep the tax
Fields wasted growing tobacco
Could be used to feed the third world countries
This is the age of hypocrisy
Everybody's saying, vote for me! Vote for me!
Blind leaders leading the blind
The cheaters and the cheated will you always find
Still they want the money, still they want the tax
Still they want the money, still they want the tax
The tax, the tax, the tax
Still they want the money, still they want the tax
Still they want the money, still they want the tax
But the biggest serial killer is a heart attack
The biggest serial killer is a heart attack
Still they want the money, still they want the tax
Still they want the money, still they want the tax
Still they want the money, still they want the tax
But the biggest serial killer is a heart attack
Still they want the money, still they want the tax
But the biggest serial killer

Voyeurism is the game
Stereoscopic is the show
Viewing time makes it grow
I am a poseur and I don't care
I like to make people stare
I am a poseur and I don't care
I like to make people stare
My facade is just a fake
Shock, horror, no escape
Sensationalism for the feed
Caricatures are what you breed
Breed, breed, breed, breed
I am a poseur and I don't care

Do you smash it quick
Do you take the glass

Did you do it for fame
Did you do it in a fit
Did you do it before
You read about it

Dear God, hope you get the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God
I can't believe in you
Dear God, sorry to disturb you but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the Devil too!
Dear God don't know if you noticed but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe
I won't believe in heaven or hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'll perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in
It's you

So climb from your high horse
And pull this freak show down
Dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown
You said I was the master of all I surveyed
But now I'm sweeping up
The last in line in your circus parade
Children are clapping
As I fall to the floor
My heart torn and broken
And they just scream for more
If I'm not the sole fool
Who pulls his trousers down
Then dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown
You tread the high wire
Between truth and lies
Your safety net just walked out
Much to your surprise
Strike up the band love
And let the show begin
For this is the last time
I'm painting on a grin
If I'm not the sole fool
Who pulls his trousers down
Then dear Madam Barnum

'Cause I'd hate you to grow mild
Since you took that job with a company
You've changed so much you just won't recognise me

You mustn't change the things that make you what you are
Since you've been listening to that linguaphone
You're speaking in a voice that is not your own
I'm not sure if it's you when I call home
You mustn't change the things that make you what you are
Whatever happened to my fighting, biting, lightning lioness
Little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl

It frightens me when you come to mind
The day you dropped in the shopping line
And my heart beats faster when I think of all the signs, all the signs
When they carried you out your mouth was open wide
The cat went astray and the dog did pine for days and days
And I felt so guilty when we played you up
When you were ill, so ill
What sticks in my mind is the sweet jar
On the sideboard. And your multicolored tea cozy
What sticks in my mind is the dew-drop hanging off your nose
Shriveled up and blue
And I'm getting older, too
But I don't want to die like you
Don't want to die like you, don't want to die like you

Funk pop a roll beats up my soul
Oozing like napalm from the speakers and grill
Of your radio
Into the mouths of babes
And across the backs of its willing slaves
Funk pop a roll consumes you whole
Gulping in your opium so copiously from a disco
Everything you eat is waste
But swallowing is easy when it has no taste
They can fix you rabbits up
With your musical feed
They can fix you rabbits up
Big money selling you stuff that you do not need
Funk pop a roll for fish in shoals
Music by the yard for the children they keep
Like poseable dolls
The young to them are mistakes
Who only want bread but they're force-fed cake
Funk pop a roll the only goal
The music business is a hammer to keep
You pegs in your holes
But please don't listen to me
I've already been poisoned by this industry!
Funk pop a roll beats up my soul

Seem so unhappy 'less they got a war

Looks as if you're dropping mirrors by the gross
Looks as if your nine lives have left town
When you paint in grey and drear
Eldorado won't appear
To run his sword through all the fears that pull you down
And it's okay, for the setting sun
Will colour everything around you gold
And it's okay, for the setting sun
Will colour everything around you gold
Looks as if you need a lighthouse in your dark
Looks as if I'm now your native guide
When the fog is drawing in
Snarling dragons break to grin
And trample over all the things that pull you down
And it's okay...
And all those pebbles in your shoes are precious stones
And all the skeletons in closets
Merely piles of harmless bones
...And it's okay, as the setting sun
Will colour everything around you gold
Even though it's brown, you'll
See your old brick town go gold

It ain't no disgrace
I can see it written all across your face
Neon shuffle and shuffle into outer dpace
I said - neon shuffle is a dance for the human race
I said - neon shuffle is gonna pull you outta your place
You - you put your hands together
Better make up a storm
Or some electricky weather
Now that the power's stop
Can you click your heels
Can you finger pop
Neon shuffle
Neon shuffle it's going to do it to me

Neon shuffle it's going to do it with red

There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world just how we feel
No bridge of thought
No mental link
No letting out just what you think
There is no language in our lungs
There is no muscle in our tongues
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No, we're leaving nothing
Just chiseled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no muscle in our tongues
I thought I had the whole world in my mouth
I thought I could say what I wanted to say
For a second that thought became a sword in my hand
I could slay any problem that would stand in my way
I felt just like a crusader
Lion-heart, a Holy Land invader
But nobody can say what they really mean to say, and
The impotency of speech came up and hit me that day, and
I would have made this instrumental
But the words got in the way
There is no language in our...
There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No, we're leaving nothing behind
Just chiseled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no language in our lungs
<@#XTC_Sacrificial_Bonfire.txt#@>
Fire they cried
So evil must die
And yields are good
So men pull back hoods and smile
The scapegoat blood spilled
Spittled and grilled it crackled and spat
And children grew fat on the meat
Change must be earned
Sacrificial bonfire must burn
Burn up the old
Ring in the new, burn up the old, ring in the new
Assembled on high
Silhouette against the sky
The smoke prayed and pranced
And sparks did their dance in the wind
Disguises wore thin with less and less skin
And the clothes that were draped
Was all that told man from ape
Change must be earned
Sacrificial bonfire must reign
Reign over good
Banish the bad, reign over good, banish the bad
<@#XTC_Seagulls_Screaming_Kiss_Her,_Kiss_Her.txt#@>
It's raining on the beach
She inches close but out of reach
The waves look painted on
Seagulls screaming
The sea is warship grey
It whispers 'Fool!' then slides away
Black coastline slumbers on
Seagulls screaming kiss her, kiss her
And all the flags that flap on the pier
Spell why on earth do you want
The fog hides much but one thing is clear
She's nearer
Dead deck chairs under shrouds
And life belts gape like minstrel mouths
Her hair still smells of salt
Seagulls screaming kiss her, kiss her
Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her, kiss her
He who hesitates is lost
If you want her, you should tell her
Take her by the hand If you hesitate
If you wait, November wins her November will win her
She returns to sand So get ahold of the girl
I say I like your coat
Her thank-you tugs my heart afloat
I nearly didn't hear for
Seagulls screaming kiss her, kiss her
He who hesitates is lost

I'm like a spinning top
Going round and around
Well I don't know what's up
And I sure don't know what's down
Now watch me - I'm like a spinning top
Can't tell day from night
Well I don't know what's wrong
And I sure don't know what's right
Now watch me
It started when I heard your song of love
Pouring down like honey from above
I started to spin
I started to move
Just like a needle
That's sticking in the same old groove
I'm like a spinning top
I like it so much I'm never going to stop

Little honey, won't you come over here?
Little honey, we gotta get something clear
Little honey, I promise I won't get mad
If you tell me about a boyfriend that you had
Who lied last night? Who made you mad?
Left you cryin' by the side of the road
Left you cryin' to hitchhike home alone
All alone
Little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
Little honey, I don't want to start a fight
Little honey, if you don't answer me soon
You'll come home tomorrow to an empty room
With a light left on, the door open wide
Window broken and pictures smashed
Window broken and our bed covered in trash
All with trash, I ain't lookin' for fight
Little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
Little honey, won't you please come over here?
Little honey, won't you please bring me a beer?
Little honey, I promise I won't get mad
If you tell me about a boyfriend that you had
'Cause you know I care but what can I do?
Sit here waitin' by the side of the road
Sit here waitin' till you come home alone
All alone, I ain't lookin' for fight
Little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
'Cause you know I care but what can I do?
Sit here waitin' by the side of the road
Sit here waitin' till you come home alone
All alone, I ain't lookin' for fight
Ooh, little honey, are you goin' out tonight?

I've been havin' trouble puttin' my cigarettes out. and I've been having
trouble with her. so I shut up...or talk too loud. the cigarettes smolder and
smell, but they light up the room. so many times I think of romance, but I
think I should leave you alone. when I get home... I'm gonna hang that picture
where it' supposed to be. then I think I'll get up... and watch the sun go
down. watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down.
watch the sun go down. I wish I wasn't grown-up, so I could cry myself to
sleep. and I'd like to follow you home, but it's awful hard on the bus.
everybody's got the right to wrong. they come home and say "I'm sorry...". but
I'm gone for 6 months at a time, and you're tired of the reason why. when I
grow up... I'm gonna make something out of myself. then I think I'll get up...
and watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down. watch
the sun go down. when the sun goes down.

A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die for this is not America
Blossom falls to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long for this is not a miracle there was a time a storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red
Tomorrows clouds a little peace of you
The little peace in me
Will die for this is not America there was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea this could be the biggest sky
This could be a miracle
This could be etc

'Cause it was signal, 'cause it was found
'Cause these were feelings from so long ago
Listen to the spirits, came up strong
All put together with same layer song
This is how they did it, spears by their side
Stood on the mountain for their land rights
All the people noticed, movement took fly
They said
This is our home, just honor our lives
Ooh, this is our home, just honor our lives
Country it was speaking, land of God
Families were broken, spirits were crushed
The language that was silenced, set free to be passed
The cup that was empty, slowly filled up
So we can prove together, show our children it is time
You see this is our home, just honor our lives
Ooh, this is our home, just honor our lives
Ooh, this is our home, just honor our lives

He was a boy
Who felt like a man
She was a girl
From a far away land
Far more beautiful
Than the picture in his hand
She had eyes
That would draw him in
They took a plane ride
Together they would find
Her long lost smile
They went home again
Back to her friends
Back to repair her heart
He loved this girl
With all of his heart
He wanted her mind
Her secrets and her trust
She would never do him any harm
He'd give her the world
If it sat in his palm
One rainy day
It was dark in the sky
She turned and she said to him
With grey in her eyes
Go home again
Go back to your friends
Go back and repair your heart
Go home again
Go back to your friends
Go back and repair your heart
His heart turned to liquid
And it trickled from his eyes
All he could do now
At this point in his life
Was to go home again
Back to his friends
Back to repair his heart
Go home again
Go back to your friends
Go back and repair your heart

Shut up shut up

Shut up shut up

I want to go to bed every second
Wrap your arms around your kitty
She won't cuddle up to your disgusting feet
She's not the only one who won't
The gamecube is on
Its tender buttons hide
Crazy is the place your gigantic fat body fits
Crazily it fits into any bed

I'm ready to go,
It's creeping along.
A deep lack of guilt,
And fool's sense of love.
You can say it's nothing,
You can claim there's no-one to hide.
You could be respectable and keep it to yourself,
Cause we know that she was the best that you've had.
Yes I know, she was the best that you've had.
Greased and unclean,
A hiss laid by God.
A duped bridle hole,
And a boyhood slipping in Blood.
You can say it's nothing,
You can claim there's no-one to hide.
You could be respectable and keep it to yourself at least,
Cause we know that she was the best that you've had.
Yes I know, she was the best that you've had.

How to make the lighting come before the thunder

Tinga linga ling ling

The snow is falling like I knew it would,
Carolers are already singing.
Last year is all that I can think about,
Everytime I hear sleigh bells ringing.
[Bridge (Tamika):]
But I know,
That when summer came I pushed you away,
I should have never let you go, no
Now all I'm really trying to say is...
[Chorus:]
I want you to come home,
I know that there won't be a christmas without you,
I miss you so much.
You're all that I want,
I know that there won't be a christmas without you,
I miss you, come home.

I remember all the love we made,
I miss your stocking on the fireplace.
Underneath the mistletoe we stayed,
Twas a very special holiday.
[Repeat Bridge (Tiny)]

[Verse Three (LaTocha):]
There's a fire that's still burning in my heart tonight,
There's no reason why we both should be alone.
It's the night before Christmas,
And I'm waiting here for you to come home, come home.

Would've been a pleasure just to know your name
Oh, look at me, silly me, now I'm back in love again
And there's nothing you can tell me
Nothing you can do
I just hope that you're in love with me

Like I want to be in love with you
Say you do

Like I want
I want to make love to you
Say you do
Never understand it
Love that takes control
Oh, I asked myself
Girl should you let it go?
That would be to crazy

Hate to think
Happily that you won't be around
Now there's nothing you can tell me
Nothing you can say
Promise me you'll stay with me

Like a summer sun that slowly rises,
On a new horizon of love.
And it's more exotic than Jamaica,
Or the rain that falls in Costa Rica,
Like a waterfall to the sea,

Do you want to fly, I can take you high,
Come ride on these midnight skies.
If you're looking for Heaven's only door,
You've got the key baby open me.
[Chorus]
Baby won't you come inside,
I'll take you on a fantasy ride.
Take a journey through my universe,
My love's the softest place on earth.
You don't have to pull the blinds,
Let the neighbours lose their minds.
Baby you can be the first,
Inside the softest place on earth.
Overflowing with emotion,
I can will you feel so sensual,
When I touch you, you will lose all control.
Come on baby, kiss me all over,
From my mountains to my valley low,
There's an ocean of love just for you,
Just for you.
Do you want to fly, I can take you high,
Come ride on these midnight skies.
If you're looking for Heaven's only door,
You've got the key baby open me.

So no more dreaming,
Your body's steaming,
You want it baby, this is your night.
I keep arising, I'm fantasizing,
I want it so bad I'll do what you like.
We can do it in the movies,
Or in my jacuzzi,
Or maybe Central Park.
So if there's any doubt,
To what I'm all about,
So tell your friends I'm turning you out.

And if the road you take leads to heart break somewhere down the line
If someone ever hurts you
Or treats your heart unkind

You just run to these arms and these two arms will keep you warm
When rain has failed your heart, never fear, I'm never far
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
I want you happy, I want the best for you
And if you have to leave to find your dream
I hope that dream comes true
But if the world you find brings you hard times, if someone makes you
cry
I'll be there to hold you, I'll be standing by
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
You just run to these arms and these two arms will keep you warm
When rain has failed your heart, never fear, I'm never far
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
My love is strong enough you know
Strong enough to let you go
But I always hold you inside my heart
And if you should ever change your mind
You can come back anytime
And when you do (and when you do)
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you
You just run to these arms and these two arms will keep you warm
When rain has failed your heart, never fear, I'm never far
You just run to the arms of the one who loves you

Before I leave you.

I can't believe she dipped into my thing,
Yet she's getting over.

It took a lot for me to give you all my loving, yeah,
And just to think I gave you everything for nothing.

Justine, 19, just got clean
Fresh outta rehab with self-esteem
She ain't felt this good in a while
A new leash on life, a vibrant thang, a beautiful smile
Used to run with a circle of friends, who was skeleton thin
Sniff white lines off powerful men
But see, all that's a thang of the past, she got class
And be damned if she'd let herself burn and crash
She ain't from money so she startin from scratch
It's hard working for scraps
It take everything she got not to relaspe
Locked down in 9 to 5, but at the 9 to 5
She get sexually harassed and chastised
Boss is a married man, she won't touch him
Frustrated angry man, she won't fuck him
She's out of her job, at Basket Cakes
Least it came wit an 8, 2 lines to the face
God Damn!

He was on his own, at a very young age
When he learned from the streets, made everything change
See he came up with hustlers, lost his religion
It's funny how money can make a nigga think he livin
I ain't talkin paper like Jigga or Dre
It's more like 7500, 9 ounces of lle'
That's what he say he can get for the flip, they thought the deal was legit
But he stuck him and split, in deep shit
Now his mother work for minimum pay
Live a positive way, she the first one at church every Sunday
Blind to the needs of her son, he's a gatling gun
In the streets, jackin niggaz for fun
It's a non-stop search through the hood, but can't catch him
They found out where mom stayed and went steppin
The evil that men do, but still we continue
With death and dishonor, for the all mighty dollar, it's so cold
[Chorus]
He was 13, brought up in Baghdad
Ate with his right and made money with his left hand
Prayed to the East, 5 times daily
His mother and father just had a new born baby
Now his father was an Imam who carried the weight
And built his family on 5 pillars of faith
Never trippin off Western ways, it meant nada
Pilgramige to Mecca to circle around Kabba
300 miles away, British troops hit Basra
His cousin waged jihad and died with honor
He heard about the buildings on 9-11
And a man named Bush on a search for weapons
Now here come the U.S., to crush Saddam
Wit 88 thousand tons of missile and bombs
But his family's too broke to move or find shelter
If they all had to die, they would die together and that's cold... damn

Til we takin' advantage of inflicting irreversable damage
It's the long awaited anticipated Likwit MC
Bombin' first cause I feel it's better to give then receive
You better believe
Xzibit stays savage above the average
When niggas try to switch turn bitch for the cabbage
But see all that irrelevant it's like tryin' to turn a whore celibate
I dance with the devil for the hell of it
Burning down your lavish lanndscape on digital tape
Cause everything you rhymin' about is actually fake
So make room for the legitimate nasty inconsiderate
Thinkin' you rankin' top dollar but really counterfeit
Hook
Montageone:
Niggas we null and void I get swole like a keyloid
To overload your system with rhymes for millenniums
To shut down artists with beats the deep closure
Battlin' top rank for bank and exposure
So open up your door to me Cause if it's closed
I'm a brakin' in with some pantyhose
Over the mic
So you don't know who I sound like
Executing those who record and bite to sound tight
It's not permitted by the right
The Gustopo surprising these niggas like Benny Blanco
Remember me man? You thought I was a fan till I threw you in the back of a
van
Yo these Drop Squad delegates rhymes are delicate
I spit on the mic to get these MC's pussys wet
For those with plans to clone me thee original
It can't be done I'm digital (digital)
Hook
Xzibit:
Yo who want to come see the hard rock?
The non stop green block yo whole block receive speed knot
You need not
Get brave my bullets never graze
They hit close to home separating flesh from bone
So better get off on your own bitch
Rollin' chrome shit tryin't to own shit
I was molded, after the best that the streets had to offer
The author of my own destiny
So I suggest you stop stressin' me
I'll find out when I pull my nine out and blow your mind out
Play a deadly game with no fouls and no time outs
Inhale large amounts of dojah forever ready like a soldier
I'm lock mode and shoot from the shoulder
And burn down your lavish landscape digital tape
Cause everything you rhyme about is actually fake
So make room for the legitimate nasty inconsiderate
Thinkin' you rankin' top dollar but really counterfeit
Hook
"I don't want niggas soundin' like me. On no album"
<@#Xzibit_Recycled_Assassins.txt#@>
There's no escape from the ones who harassin'
The reason for the illin' is the reason for askin'
Now I try to school 'em on the killin' and blastin'
But season after season they recycle assassins now
He's too advanced for his own good
He didn't get a second chance to see the glock pointed at his hood
Makin' his way through the rain he's caught in the game
He felt the pain of a slug to the back of the brain
Nothin's changed in a city flask
Where niggas lurk in black shirts pants and low hats, forever
Until the job is done and no one's left
My man Jeff told me with his very last breath
To watch moms
But they got her with the car bomb
Pop tried to save her second blast got his arm
Niggas play for keeps like casino
Baby's has got fathers just got back from doin' Chino
With nothin' to lose loose screws in the attic
The only skill a nigga knows is how to strip an automatic
And stash the barrel stab a nigga something terrible
Death resume 20 kill in incredible time
No guilt and shame
On the mind stuck a nigga for lookin' didn't know he was blind
So I find
Mankind is a serious threat
To another others kind when there's something to get
In a vet gonna fast jet to the spot to see what they got
Nobody saw shit cause it's not
Cool to brake the rule of the code of the streets
Niggas frightened by the visions of the blood on the sheets
And it's deep how blood drys as a mother crys
Open eyes gettin' landed on by flys
There's no disgues for the ones who harassin'
The reason for the illin' is the reason for askin' now
There's no escape from the ones who harassin'
The reason for the illin' is the reason for askin'
Now I try to school 'em on the killin' and blastin'
But season after season they recycle assassins now
I came from a family of one girl and three boys
Fuck playin' with toys our fun was on the block
Watchin' all the cats negotate the neighborhood stock
My job was to come runnin' whenever cops was comin'
My older brother I figure was the ring leader
Whenever these cats move they all bring heaters
All black and nickel plated (c'mon)
Soon became fasinated bitches cars and kicks
And look at how fast they made it
My younger brother gave less than a fuck he was content
With G.I. Joe and Tonka trucks
But I want butts, livin' first class delux
15 years old soldier ready to serve these clucks
My older brother was touched
It's a game where you don't play gotta have cane
Crack house for my birthday
The next day my brother shot in cold blood by the police
In a rage he lived but he payed the price
Caught with keys 25 to life
Takin' in by the crew time to standed on my own two (c'mon nigga)
But as I marinated thinkin' about the hood
I really can't remember my body doin' good
For long big decisions somebody got to make 'em
Undercover recognize the face now can't shake a
Phone tap (what) and now I'm in the belly of the beast
Use to sittin' in leather sheets now I'm sittin' awaitin' release
Visitors day, my younger brother came down
Put the toys down excited about the first round
He bust I was crushed to finally see
The solution to the problem could of started with me
It's on now
There's no escape from the ones who harassin'
The reason for the illin' is the reason for askin'
Now I try to school 'em on the killin' and blastin'
But season after season they recycle assassins now
<@#Xzibit_Say_It_To_My_Face.txt#@>
Bitch ass nigga was talkin' all this shit right?
I'm like damn, you bitch ass nigga
I should sock you in your motherfuckin' mouth
Talkin' all this shit about my homie
So I chirped him (chirp-chirp)
Hey 'cause, this nigga talkin' all this shit right?
Boom, the homie came up and was like
"Nigga say that shit in my motherfuckin' face"
Popped him dead in his motherfuckin' mouth nigga
Niggaz be talkin' all this shit
The only thing I wanna know is, look
[Chorus]
See when the drama pop off, then pardon me, it ain't my fault
My back was up against the wall, thanks to y'all
(Niggas talkin' like bitches)
You need to say it to my face if you got somethin' to say bout me
Cause that's the way it's supposed to be, but you ain't no G
(Niggas talkin' like bitches) Wishin' you could be like me
Sometime men got some more than women
You do too good in Cali the prey start to turn to venom
You can't walk in these shoes nigga, you can't fit 'em
I'm bout five seconds away from the "let's go get him"
So nigga (say it to my face) if you're feelin' like King Kong
Mysery love company, I guess I'm a leave y'all
Until that day, you wanna tuck them nuts
And try to hit my switches and get your frame fucked up
You gotta (say it to my face), I'm right here with a 12-gauge
You talkin' to a man that plan on dyin' of old age
Until that day, I crush everything in my way
And give a fuck about what y'all say
[Chorus]
Too much of anything makes you a addict
Wantin' contact with another man makes you a faggot
Patience is virtue, don't make me hurt you
I came full circle, about-face reversal
Salute the general, make yourself presentable
Analytical, every move made political
(Say it to my face) and wake up in a hospital
Huh, gutter never takin' me under
Fuckin' nerve of you motherfuckers
Thinkin' I was slippin', I was servin' you motherfuckers
X went off the deep end, I'm determined you motherfuckers
So watch how you speakin'
Cause I'm listenin' closely for any pussy approachin' me
[Chorus]
Nigga, you better come with the Taliban
Never been a slave or afraid of another man
X move like the brutal force of an avalanche
It ain't my fault you smoked off your chance
See motherfuckers envy what they cannot be
Mr. X to the Z, H.N.I.C.
Shh, half assed niggaz gon' shit on me
If they sentence me to five I'll be out in three
You'll be deep in the dirt for the bugs to eat
Tucked in for eternity, time to sleep
Til' that day, I'll crush everything in my way
And give a fuck about what y'all say
See when the drama pop off, then pardon me, it ain't my fault
My back was up against the wall, thanks to y'all
(Niggas talkin' like bitches)
You need to say it to my face if you got somethin' to say bout me
Cause that's the way it's supposed to be, but you ain't no G

All that yackin' don't do shit

Daz Dillinger, nickels and nines homie
Look back,
<@#Xzibit_State_Of_Hip-Hop_Vs._Xzibit.txt#@>
Man, I'm talking about that six four rag top
Green, with the back racked
Everything mat black, caught it in a six pack
You know what the fuck it is and what I came to do
Now put your hands up in the air, like I'm about to shoot
My agenda is here, crystal perfectly clear
Breathe apocalypse in, we have nothing to fear
We have nothing to lose, pressure applying the rules
Wasp on a motherfucker and knock him up out of his shoes
That's what my coast love, good money, great drugs
Every bad bitch you can think of
Swagged out, locked out, flamed on, purve out
Shit face from shots, your words come swirled up
Better put the word out, mind I find the mediocre
I'm a bust it down, serve 'em like a bunch of smokers
You can fuck around, who else get the fly
You know I asked your little mind is your prime world dying over
[Chorus]
Order in the court, that's what you came to see
The state of hip hop versus mister X to the Z
Not a verdict to see, just the moment of truth
Fighting the fight of my life, jury ready to shoot
I be my own attorney, watching you try to burn me down
Testimony testifier from the underground
Order in the court, that's what you came to see
The state of hip hop versus mister X to the Z
I create in a dark, darkest place in my heart
I finish off with your started terror, I tear you apart
I am not for the cage, I'm the climb to the change
Dread the eye and the needle, that means accurate aim
That means I can arrange haters and hideous things
I'm the sickness you feel, sickness from popping a vein
Paranormal presence to people who can never explain
Why deal with the devil when dealing with you is the same
I got a proposition for all you bitches listening
Get in position, let me nail it like a crucifixion
Give you what you've been missing
A man in my condition shouldn't be allowed around crowds without supervision
Call it a superstition, can't get this out my system
I got a fetish for fucking over my opposition
It's time to set the standing, the mother ship is landing
We didn't come here in peace, we're here to take the player
[Chorus]
I came up with the wolf, they came out with them tools
Elevate you out the earth gravitational pool
This is not for the week, this time works for the streets
Mister X to the Z, motherfuck, what you think?
Motherfuck, what you blog, this for my loss and my dogs
Standing tall, still calling shots from behind the wall
I've been tried and I'm true, reassemble my crew
Carry on tradition, position I'm put here to do
Make movements my elemental, I did make some improvements
You can check my potential, tool to never pursue it
If I listen to critics, there would be no Xzibit
Dreams splattered and broken never breaking my spirit
Listen close, you can hear it, the footsteps of the future
Ain't no time like the present, live the past and excuses
Fucked on anything, fuck it, I keep it exclusive
You just saw as if acoustic, this that real nigga music
<@#Xzibit_The_Gambler.txt#@>
[Xzibit]
Yeah.. welcome.. yeah.. huh.. there's plenty of room for everybody man..
Yeah.. bangin.. come on.. yeah.. look..
[Xzibit]
Huh, Stay in my lane like a hustla
Never hate a motherfucker,tolerate a motherfucker
To a certain extent
When it's on, it's over
Don't get no chance to get popping
Forgotten about you before your body cold in a coffin
Just another failed attempt, you fall through the cracks
Sure as God made man, the first man was Black
The Black man made pyramids and gangsta rap
That's all I know, 'cause poppa didn't raise no rats
Face the facts not the fiction
I Build my empire from a pocket full of stones
And a fifth of ambition
Niggas want to ball but they never want to listen
So instead of coming up, they just, come up missin
My mission is to hit with precision, shake whole continents
Crush niggas' confidence, expose my dominance
Without no conflict, you'll never have progress
I'm sending this one out to all the neighborhoods and projects, I'm a

One shot gambler (Yeah) Two shot gambler (Come on)
Three-time felon with that itch for dough
These madd street (Whuttup) Got me puffin on dro'
I'm guilty (What) Tryna make a living (Work it)
Thirty-eight albums and still no dollars (Come on)
And you want to know why I hit the block for mo'? (Yeah)
These madd street (Uh) Got me puffin on dro' (Uh)
I'm guilty .. For tryna make a living
[Xzibit]
Bitch I ain't tryna holler at you (nah)
I'm just want to drink, smoke, fuck and toss a couple dollars at you
I'm fightin dirty, I'll take thirty of you motherfuckers
I'm throwing cheapshots, low-blows and suckerpunches
I'm not for the games, I'm not in the mood
Not to be confused with dudes that fumble and lose
Xzibit move when I hear oppurtunity knockin
But I'ma shoot straight through the door if you comin with problems
It's too crowded at the bottom, too lonely at the top
Ain't no inbetween, trust me, like it or not
We gon' be here forever like cops and roaches
Do not approach us, ferocious, we pop them toasters, nigga
[Interlude - A.H. (X)]
I'ma have to hit the block, then around to my hoes
I got a haze, two trays, and a change of clothes, 'cause
Pimpin' ain't easy why'all,it's too sleazy
Too greasy, and I can't take it easy!
[Chorus]
[Xzibit]
Everytime I try to get out
I get dragged right the fuck back in, it's like I'm never gon' win
Nigga got the whole world on his back
Overeact, matter fact we act like when animals attack
I know, pussy sells faster than crack, ambassador rap
Twist back your salary cap, who fuckin with that?
Welcome to the X games, enjoy my pain
Inhale my smoke, it's hard not to cough or choke
Motorola nigga up the old fashion way
This ain't rap, this is shit that I was born to say
Though lately I been having dillemas, with insignificant niggas
And half-ass rappers that think they can get it
We the Golden State, we keep the whole thing bouncing
Why'all move units, we move mountains
Why'all rap for bullshit, tryna be on T.V.
We seen you, now we don't like Chandra Levy, I'ma

What y'all doing?
Nigga kill off all beef
I'm a West Side with rackn', in the back whats happenin'
40 Glock, snap a Insta, ain't no need for no caption
I got put on by four niggas, wasn't need for no bandage
I did my stuff like a young nigga, that's how I'm s'posed to handle it
Homie threw a right, duck, hit him with the left, bop-bop!
Two to the chin, bop! One to the chest
One to the ribs, the haymaker didn't connect
Dropped him but didn't stomp him cause that's disrespect, woo!
That's how I got put on
Tree Top Piru, yeah I got put on
It was hard in the hood
I was rappin', my homies sellin' hard in the hood
I know Game from cedar block, Dom from the West
That was [?] and Pac, what's his name and his chest
Just got a call, the homies just got bust on
Niggas gotta go, we can't hold on
Nigga I'm from BPT
West Side, West Side
TTP, one block, one block
400, Spruce Street
What y'all doing?
Nigga kill off all beef
I was in the county with lions, most of these rappers be lyin'
'Cause when I seen 'em, they be quiet, the definition of silence
That's a principle of proof, the definition of logic
That this nigga is a bitch
Every chance he get, he dogdin'
Brought back this West Coast shit and this the motherfuckin' thanks I get
All the licks I split, from the houses I hit
They brought him more cases in jail, but a nigga ain't snitch
That's how it's s'posed to go down
Held it down, didn't nobody else go down
You a blind date, have my bitch pick you up
Then have one of my top members stick you up
I know Nipsey from 60-0, C-Hood from 10-4
Tony Bone from 40 Crips, that's my kinfolk
My whole family tried to set me but it didn't work
Momma know I been bangin' lately nigga
<@#YG_Meet_The_Flockers.txt#@>
First, you find a house and scope it out
Find a Chinese neighborhood, cause they don't believe in bank accounts
Second, you find a crew and a driver, someone ring the doorbell
And someone that ain't scared to do what it do
Third, you pull up at the spot
Park, watch, ring the doorbell and knock
Four, make sure nobody is home
They gone, okay it's on
Don't be scared, nigga, you're in now
If the police come you gonna find out who your friends now
That ain't them talking, that's your mind playing tricks on you
You're conscious cause you know you got nines with two clips on you
But fuck that, motherfuck that plasma
And fuck that laptop, go and get that jewelry box
You tryna get paid?
Go take that jewelry box to the Slauson they'll give you cash back
Meet the motherfucking flockers
Make some noise if you've ever stole something in your life
Don't be ashamed, it's okay, baby
Make some noise if you've ever stole a dollar out your mama's purse
Niggas don't know the history 'bout the fly
Put the flathead in the door, pull it, make it go fly
Hit the first drawer, grab a nigga some socks
That nigga in the car better be listening to that box
Ay, I ain't staking out shit, nigga
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe and ding dong ditch
Ain't a safe I can't crack, nigga, that's on Crip
I'm with my Pirus from Compton, we gon' pass and get rich
50 racks, three niggas, 65 a split
Let some weeks go by, we at the dealership
I never took notes nigga, I need the pinkslip
Hit Icy, Mac and Ave for my bullshit
Spent about ten cash
Jumped in the whip and did the whole dash
D-Loc my nigga my nigga, hit my first lick
Passed with my niggas at!

It's over, there's nothing more to say
Silent comes the night time, end another summers day
I can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away.
[Chorus:]
Understand me, I'm calling,
Understand me, can you hear me call.
Night time, surely it's a lie,
No-one ever told me, I just let the chance go by
Wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but I can try.
[Chorus]
Speak now, without the summer light
All the words I should have spoken, when you held me tight
Still I'll keep in calling, till the morning ends another lonely night.
[Chorus]
I'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me calling
But there's never any answer, just the echo of the call

Girls get horny
When they use it
Everybody smokes some
Marijuana
Can't get caught by the Rosco
So we stuffin' this green like a taco
Feelin' like we hit a brick lotto
Putting dents in the street like a pot hole
We pot hold, in the backwoods
Two tone box Chevy with the black hood
Seats come out all packed up
P's for the 18 like a Mac truck
You a dope boy? So what
If I gave you my connect
You'd blow up
Sawed off layin' flat on the sofa
They'll twist that lid like a soda
Uncle Critter putting plugs on the motor
We gotta get to Tennessee no holdups
We ain't getting rich bitch
We getting over
All for the love of
Marijuana
Growin' it up
Cut it down
Pack it up
Pass it around
Everybody loves some
Marijuana
Makes you happy
Feeling stupid
Girls get horny
When they use it
Everybody smokes some
Marijuana
Crowbar sits in the carjack
Fill the gas tank up with a fun pack
Son I don't wanna see you til' you come back
If you get caught, you know where the money's at
Throwing loose rocks on a dirt road
Police on your throat like a chokehold
Rollin' through town with a boatload
I'm feelin' like a trailer park mogul
Sweat can't roll down the windows
'Cause the doors jammed up with the elbows
I think I see cops, I can't tell though
If I ride too close, they'll smell dope
My phone blowin' up, I promise
They waitin' on the package from the runner
I made enough just for the summer
All for the love of
Marijuana
Growin' it up
Cut it down
Pack if up
Pass it around
Everybody loves some
Marijuana
Makes you happy
Feelin' stupid
Girls get horny
When they use it
Everybody smokes some

<@#Yelawolf_The_Last_Song.txt#@>
Everybody's asking me lately where I'm from
They wanna know what I've been through and what dirt I've done
But man if I told you what I've seen and been through then you probably run
off
If your scared of the truth so instead in secret lined in chalk
See I've been lost ever since I could walk
Looking for my daddy and anyone of mamma's boyfriends who would talk
Or listen to me when I spoke instead of looking at me like a joke
Leaving me behind leaving me to cry when you treated my momma like a ho
But I learned quick that my daddy wasn't ever gonna come around
And I didn't give a shit 'cause me and my momma we held it down
No new kicks first day of school I'm goodwill bound
But when you come from the trench that's how you learn to walk around
So I don't give a fuck if you ever lay eyes on top of my new shoes homey
I just wanted you to know I didn't need a dollar from you I got 'em myself
So if you find yourself in the middle of the floor with the bottle drinking
yourself lonely
Then you can keep company with the picture of me in the magazine on the shelf
turn the page
[Chorus]
Daddy can you see me? I'm putting on a show
In the magazines, hear me on the radio
So what do you think huh?
(Well I hope that your proud now, to watch it all go down)
I'm sorry daddy you didn't get to watch me grow
Now I'm always on the road no time to say hello
Bye (and I hope that your proud now, to watch it all go down)
Yeah mamma you look great, perfect
Be safe on your first date, for certain
If he brings you home too late, I'll hurt him
Don't worry bout me I'm safe I'll close the curtains
And I feel like I'm raising you but what do I know baby blue
All I know is that I was made in you so I put all my faith in you
Yeah I was only ten but I felt like a man and I had to let you go
All I wanted was for us to be rich tear drops in my cereal bowl
So I turned into an asshole young and dumb smoking weed
Vandalizing, robbing houses, stealing cars, that was me
But everything I did I had to see
Feel the pain, had to grieve
To become who I am and I'm proud of the man I came to be
What I've learned cannot be taught
What I've earned cannot be bought
Justified deserve it all
So don't be concerned it's not your fault
I never counted sheep I count my blessings
So if you see him now momma don't give him the cold shoulder just give him my
message just tell him
[Chorus]

Trunk Muzik, trunk Muzik
Straight from the back of the game I rock it
Yelawolf's got that crack boy
In the woods with the S-K I'm cockin'
You don't want to play with that toy
Droppin' this heat like an asteroid
Good in the south like Pastor Troy
Pull up aside of a 1977
Sittin' back and sippin' my Crown and seven
Pimpin' I'm about to get down,
Look at me changin' lanes
Twin pipes lookin' like dragon's breath
(Rooo) Chevrolet's blowin' flames
Yes I, know it's strange
Hit you in the left eye
Hold the change
Bitch you too heavy to carry
You don't wanna bury yourself
Underneath that eight O eight I'm droppin' in your face like
To the DJ's
Out cruisin'
I got that Trunk Muzik
Everybody hop in the Cadillac
And outta back I'ma throttle the Chevrolet's
With the bottom won't you roll the window down
If ya cruisin'
I got that Trunk Muzik
Alabama's unanimous animal Yelawolf
On the eight O eight come and fade away
Ain't no better way to get down
I told you I was coming
Said I'd be here in five
And even though I brought you glasses
You still cant believe your eyes
But if you don't believe it by now
Fuck it just lean to the side
Hold up wait a minute I don't really
Wanna leave without a single solitary soul
need em' for what I'll bring it to 'em
If your sailin' catch my drift
Lead me to the door check my list
Meet me at the floor catch this fist
Or meet me at the store catch this lick
Build this house flip this brick
Real skate borders feel this grip
Moving through the alleyway
Look at the people tripping
Cause I'm on a chopper like
To the DJ's
Out cruisin'
I got that Trunk Muzik
Everybody hop in the Cadillac
And outta back I'ma throttle the Chevrolet's
With the bottom won't you roll the window down
If ya cruisin'
I got that Trunk Muzik
Alabama's unanimous animal Yelawolf
On the eight O eight come and fade away
Ain't no better way to get down
I have to be the hardest I got diamond nuts
I piss excellence Ricky Bobby lines em up
Catfish Billy half pints 'em up
Yelawolf country fries 'em up
Pull um in duffle bag then I roll 'em in a river then I hold up
Watch what the fuck you hold up
Dynamite sticks will blow up
Ghet-O-Vision got this sewed up
Roll up smoke up, everybody wishin' they choose us
But we don't give a fuck you know what
I know you didn't see me coming but I'm coming anyway
Bitch Yelawolf is stylin' on 'em
To the DJ's
Out cruisin'
I got that Trunk Muzik
Everybody hop in the Cadillac
And outta back I'ma throttle the Chevrolet's
With the bottom won't you roll the window down

You're on a mission to open my heart
I learned your lesson: don't play it smart
You came close, I played it tough
You went away, I'm in the rough
Running, crying, turning around
Screaming, shouting, love to be found
I'm in love
I got to know it, got a solution
Shift my cards and bring them back to center
I got to know it, end of confusion
Shift my heart and try to remember
Desire, motion, shout, and kiss
I'm in love
I'm on a mission, crawling on the floor
I learned my lesson, please open your door
You came close, I played it cool
You went away, I'm such a fool
Running, crying, turning around
Screaming, shouting, love to be found
I'm in love

Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I
'Cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass I will break the past
'Cause with the morning I can open my eyes
I want this to be my awakening
I give this one to you an anthem full of truth
I tell you now an epic tail of what you put me through
And even though you don't deserve one of your own
A melody a song about the life that you let go
I can't believe that I still care enough to write
Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I
'Cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass I will break the past
'Cause with the morning I can open my eyes
I want this to be my awakening
Yes I miss you still and probably always will
I'm living with a busted heart that I will have until
I find the strength I know it's somewhere in my bones
To pull the curtain up again and get on with this show
At least you know that I care enough to write
Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I
'Cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass I will break the past
'Cause with the morning I can open my eyes
And maybe I will see a different destiny
Like knowing you at all was only a bad dream
I want this to be my awakening
No rest for the wicked they say
Forgive me if I try to change
No rest for the wicked they say
Forgive me if I try to change
Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I
'Cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass I will break the past
'Cause with the morning I can open my eyes
And maybe I will see a different destiny
Like knowing you at all was only a bad dream

Is this just a matter of
Me getting what I needed
Till I was safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline?
And it's just a matter of
Me keeping myself seated
Till the pilot killed the overdrive
And landed in a place where you can't
Find me there
Find me there
When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
Then I am gone
I'm tired of you and me (tired of you and me)
And the space that's in between (space that's in between)
And I would rather be somewhere with better thoughts and warmer air
I'm tired of trying to be (tired of trying to be)
Somebody different than me (different than me)
I'm tired of trying to shine it on
When the lights go out tonight, I'm gone
I'll run from here
Run
When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
When the hurt gets real
And you still can't feel
When you can't escape
And you cannot stay
Then I am gone
Safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
I landed in a place that you can't find
You can't find me there
You can't find me there
When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
When the hurt gets real (the hurt gets real)
And you still can't feel (still can't feel)
When you can't escape (can't escape)
And you cannot stay
Then I am gone
Safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
I landed in a place that you can't find
When the last plane leaves
And you cry for me
When you lie awake
And you feel it break
Then I am gone

You sat me down beside myself
To show me all the reasons I was wrong for you
Was this for real, it's hard to tell
'Cause it was such a beautiful mess we had got into
I'm gonna overcome this
Paper hearts can't win this time
And all along I should have know this
It wasn't your dream, it was mine
I know you wanted me to give up this life to be
Everything I was back when you had the hands my heart was in
I was never good at goodbye
Can I swallow this bottle whole
So this brain in my head can forget your face
When we were starting out
You believed in me without a doubt
You were the finest thing that happened to a boy like me
It's so much harder now
I want to try and tell you how
There is so much love in me
Even though it's hard to see
And I was never good at goodbye
Can I swallow this bottle whole
So this brain in my head can forget your face
Can I swallow this bottle whole
'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes
Today I couldn't stay awake
Feels like I'm drowning in this firewater lake
I won't be sleeping much tonight
It's not the same without you lying by my side
Right beside me
Can I swallow this bottle whole
So this brain in my head can forget your face
Can I swallow this bottle whole
'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes
I know you wanted me
To give up my heart to be everything I am
And you're the only thing that I can see
I'm sorry, but you're not the only one for me
You left me here beside myself
Left me with all the reasons I was wrong for you

Accidents out on the highway to somewhere,
They tell us about when we're young,
Rescuers working to clean up the crashes
Before she can see what they've done ,
Nobody told her she'd lose in the first round,
The last fight was fixed from the start,
Names on her sidewalks they move through her body,
Like razors they cut through her heart
Like razors they cut through her heart
Hey let go of all you know,
You're flying away now
What have you got to lose
Say out loud these words I've found
I'll be there when you come down
I'll be waiting for you
Night life the highlife she just wants a good life
So someone remembers her too
But somewhere she heard there was someplace to go
When you die when you live like we do
Die when you live like we do
Hey let go of all you know,

This is a story full of restless nights
Of do or do not 'cause there is no try
Across a decade we flew high and we fell low
And getting up when we're dragged down is all we've known
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
It burns like the surface of the sun
Here in this Angel City lights will shine
(Lights will shine)
And for a while we let ourselves go blind
But now we know who loves and loves us not
And they're worth every good thing we have lost

To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
We were born to be the ones(Born to be)

And all the million miles to go
Not over yet, not even close

I found out in the fall I've been gone
On the road for a year
She said,
"Honey, I've got real bad news" and
Then there were just tears
And we would never be the same again
Since then I've often wondered
What you might have been like
How it would have felt to hold you,
Would you have my eyes?
Don't you think we would've been best friends?
You would be ten and I'd be
Driving you to school
You would tell all your friends
That you thought I was cool
And you would have
All the love in my heart
Yeah, you would have
All the love in my heart
We were twenty-two years young then
Breaking rules all around
We were
Moving in that first apartment
It felt like it was never gonna end
Both so lost and crazy
We were young so we ran
Now I live in a dream where I am
Holding your little hands
I never got to meet you, my best friend
You would be ten and I'd be
Driving you to school
You would tell all your friends
That you thought I was cool
You would be out in the sun
Until it was gone
You would be watching Star Wars
With your PJ's on
And you would have
All the love in my heart
Yeah, you would have
All the love in my heart
Mm
Mm
Don't you think we would have been best friends?

With your PJ's on
You would be playing tunes on
On your first guitar
You would be harmony to
Every single part of me
And you have
All the love in my heart
Yeah, you would have

Everytime I try to read between the lines
I'm left wondering what I did so wrong
Everytime I try, try to rationalize
When everyone went wrong why didn't we die?
Everytime I think about what it would be like
Without all the things you give to me
All these thoughts keep running through my head
Nothing to believe
Look back find the things I lost
There's nothing left there so it seems
Up hill both ways
Nothing left to say
I don't know how I made it this far
I don't know how I made it last this long
I don't know why I try
All these things keeps going through my head
Don't know which way to turn
Each path goes up hill both ways
Nothing but dust
Since I learned, up hill both ways
Nothing left to say
I don't know how I made it this far
I don't know how I made it last this long
I don't know why I try
Up hill both ways
Nothing left to do now
I don't want nothing today

The whole world was sleeping
And I was there
You could just sense this feeling in the air
Like no one's words were good enough to define what we feared
And no one's words were strong enough to fix what happened here
[Chorus]
Lead on to save me
Lead us all there
Find me some answers
One nation beware
Can't tell the difference between myth and man
Or what's necessary or where I should stand
The whole world is different now men have died
They can just sense this feeling in our eyes
Like no one's hands are big enough
To hold onto this fear
And no one's hands are strong enough to fix what happened here
[Chorus]
So do we do now
Raise our voices loud
Were searching for something that cannot be found
Here open mouths
I see open hands
Blinded and silent I can't understand
The whole word is watching with one blank stare
I can just sense this feeling of ill-repair
Like no ones heart is full enough
To keep away this fear
And no ones heart is strong enough to fix what happened here
Lead on to save me
Lead us all there
Find me some answers
Its time that you cared
Can't tell the difference between myth and man
Or what's necessary or where I should stand
So do we tell now
Raise our voices loud
We're searching for something that cannot be found
I hear open mouths
And I see open hands
Like the blinded and silent I can't understand.

Dedicate to the true believer in you
Finally put it to the test
Finally
Make no mistake to the mainstream
Music be the master planner
Just like the books you read
You'll hear it on your radio scanner
It's not so much what you know
Or who you know that's coming
Its what you do regardless
Its what you do... eventually
Finally we put it to the test
Dedicate to the true believer in you
Finally put it to the test
Finally
I've seen them running, down and out
Never mind the good intentions

Is as clear as his next invention
You take a second look to find
A second chance at giving
The voices say do not despair
There's a real good reason you're living
I could feel the earth moving
I could see sky falling
We can chase the storm
We can sing the rain
Walk the final distance
Live this life again
Finally we put it to the test
Dedicate to the true believer in you
Finally put it to the test telling me to let go
I can feel the earth moving (i can sing the rain)
I can feel the rain coming (live this life again)
I can feel the storm
I can sing the rain
I can free my heart
Live this life again
You can choose to stand
You can choose to fall
You can see the rain
You can have it all
I can feel the rain coming
I can feel the earth moving
I can feel the love coming
I can feel the earth moving
I can feel the rain coming
I can feel the love coming
I can feel the earth moving

Like rivers our hearts entwine
How we talk - How we teach our children
How we move - We direct our eyes
All the senses tuned discovery
As and as and when our hearts decide
Be ready now - Be ye circle
Be the central force ye life
As the game extends the cycle
Be ready to move

One's for giving Sailing down the river

Why the eagle flies
When the wind blows in his eyes
And he goes no where just to feel good
You don't know the reason
Our love is like a season
Breaking down and building up again
Why you hold me up
When I feel like falling down
Is the love you have that makes me feel good
Ah
You make it easy
Take it slow
Well, I was hurtin inside and you gave me a second chance
Ah
You take it easy
When you let it go
I was hurtin inside
Time rides all alone
When you're left back on your own
But I know you're always there to lean on
Look beyond the
And you'll find my love in check
It's all the love I have
Love I give to you
Ah
You make it easy
Take it slow
Well, I was hurtin inside and you gave me a second chance
Ah
You take it easy
When you let it go
I was hurtin inside
Why the eagle flies
When the wind blows in his eyes
And he goes no where just to feel good
Time rides all alone
When you're left back on your own

You don't know the reasons
Our love is like the seasons
Breaking down and building up again

On a beach, North Africa
Nine tribesmen stand alone
Waiting for a distant call
Waiting for the world to answer
through' the night of a thousand stars
Encircled by the light
They began to sing a new song
Of forces that surround us
Nine voices
This dialogue
Nine voices
Singing as one
Nine voices
This dialogue
Nine voices
When the sun came up they sang
As the perfect calendar says
Each had the power of people
Speaking new languages
They gave forgiveness meaning
New ways of letting go
Each child is born for greatness
With forces that surround them
This voice
This dialogue

Singing as one

Proclaimed in everything I write
You're the light
Burning, brightly
Onward through the night

Onward through the night of my life
Displayed in all the things I see
There's a love you show to me
Portrayed in all the things you say

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or loser
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you, and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say - you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You, lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own indecision
They confused me so
Owner of a lonely heart
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
Owner of a lonely heart
And don't you hesitate at all - no no
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it

We hit the blue fields
In the blue sedan we didn't get much further
Just as the sun was rising in the mist
We were all alone we didn't need much more
So fast this expidition
So vast this heavy load
With a touch of luck and a sense of need
Seeing the guns and their faces
We look around the open shore
Waiting for something
Shoot high break low
Aim high shoot low
Break high let go
Shoot high aim low
This was to be our last ride
With the steel guitar and the love you give me
Underneath the skin a feeling, a breakdown
Well we sat for hours on the crimson sand
Exchanges in the currency of humans bought and sold
And the leaders seem to lose control
Shall we lose ourselves for a reason
Shall we burn ourselves for the answer
Have we found the place that we're looking for
Someone shouted "open the door"
Lookout
Shoot high break low
Aim high shoot low
Feeling of imagination
Break high let go
Shoot high aim low
Shoot high aim low
Nothing you can say
Shoot high let go
Takes me by surprise
Shoot high aim low
Who says's there's got to be a reason
Shoot high let go
Who says there's got to be an answer
We were all alone, we didn't need much more
Shoot high aim low
The sun's so hard on this endless highway
Shoot high let go
Shoot high aim low
I've heard the singers, who sing of love
Shoot high let go
In the blue sedan we never got much further
Shoot high aim low
<@#Yes_To_Be_Over.txt#@>
We go sailing down the calming streams
Drifting endlessly by the bridge
To be over
We will see
To be over
Do not suffer through the game of chance that plays
Always doors to lock away your dreams
Think it over
Time will heal your fear
Think it over
Balance the thoughts that release within you
Childlike soul dreamer one journey
One to seek and see in every light do open
True pathways away
Carrying closer go gently
Holding doors will open every way
You wander true pathways away
After all your soul will still surrender
After all don't doubt your part
Be ready to be loved
<@#Yes_Turn_Of_The_Century.txt#@>
Realising a form out of stone.
Set hands moving.
Roan shaped his heart
Through his working hands.
Work to mold his passion into clay, like the sun.
In his room, his lady
She would dance and sing so completely.
So be still he now cries
I have time, oh let clay transform thee so.
In the deep cold of night
Winter calls, he cries "Don't deny me!"
For his lady, deep her illness.
Time has caught her
And will for all reasons take her.
In the still light of dawn, she dies.
Helpless hands soul revealing.
Like leaves we touch we learn.
We once knew the story.
As winter calls he will starve.
All but to see the stone be life
Now Roan, no more tears.
Set to work his strength.
So transformed him
Realising a form out of stone. His work
So absorbed him.
Could she hear him?
Could she see him?
All aglow was his room dazed in this light.
He would touch her
He would hold her.
Laughing as they danced.
Highest colors touching others.
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
Tell me plainly
When we meet, how we'll love, oh let life so transform me.
Like leaves we touched we danced.
We once knew the story.
As autumn called and we both
Remembered all those many years ago.
I'm sure we know.
Was the sign with a touch
As I kiss your fingers.
We walk hands in the sun.
Memories when we're young.
Love lingers so.
Was it sun through the haze
That made all your looks
As warm as moonlight?
As a pearl deep in your eyes,
Tears have flown away,
All the same light.
Did her eyes at the turn of the century
Tell me plainly
When we meet how we'll look
As we smile time will leave me clearly.
Like leaves we touch, we see.
We will know the story.
As autumn calls we'll both remember
All those many years ago.

Living large, living free
Living the life that dreams are made of
Dying proud, dying free
Dying the death of heroes
But what you've done now
Makes me wanna cry, keep on pushing
Well, you've pushed too far
You must die now
You must die now
Once we were free
Living in perfect harmony
It's much too late
And now there's no turning back
Attack
Attack
Attack
Out of the blue, out of the sky
The world comes crashing down
Now it's out of true, we've been blown sky high
And the king has lost his crown
We must be fearless and be relentless
Kill these insects, show no mercy
You must die now
You must die now
Once we were free
Living in perfect harmony
It's much too late
And now there's no turning back
Attack

Once we were free
Living in perfect harmony
It's much too late
Now there's no turning back

[Japanese bonus track]
I paid the piper with my song
For all the times I've done you wrong
I watched the devil get his due
And I knew that was for you
It breaks my heart
Our time has passed by telling lies
I fall apart
Like broken glass on shattered ice
We gave up our love within
To keep ourselves from giving in
I know my world will always turn
When you burn, you'll live and learn
Like an intruder in your arms
I never meant to do you harm
I know my song, it will remain
All the same, I feel the pain

There is a limit don't cross that line
It's no good with water we cannot drink
We're a ship about to sink.
We pray but the wall is just too high
We pay with our lives to the dark tower in the sky.
see'est la vie life in the shadows
see'est la vie there's no tomorrow
Give us back the blue blue sky
Where the air is so fresh were eagles fly
What good is a planet that's slowly dying
What kind of life can it bring.
We pray but the wall is just too high
We pay with our lives to the dark tower in the sky.

The party that never fades
Darkness unleashed
As the earth is turning
As the souls are burning
There's no more romance
Deamons will dance
Seven million, four hundred
Five thousand, nine
Hundred and twenty-six
Deamons will do their dance
Cannot escape
Holdong a crucifix
Deamon Dance
They've all been part of this
For thousands of years
Granting the wizards wish
Obey out of fear
Unholy Rites
Leave nothing to chance
In the dead of night
Do the deamons dance
Seven million, four hundred
Five thousand, nine
Hundred and twenty-six
Deamons will do their dance
Cannot escape
Holdong a crucifix
Seven million, four hundred
Five thousand, nine
Hundred and twenty-six
Deamons will do their dance
Cannot escape
Holdong a crucifix
Deamon dance
Deamon dance
No, non, no
Deamon dance
Centuries ago
Unholy sacrifice
Rivers of blood did flow
Deamons arise
As the earth is turning
There's no more romance
As the souls are burning
Deamons will dance
Seven million, four hundred
Five thousand, nine
Hundred and twenty-six
Deamons will do their dance
Cannot escape
Holdong a crucifix
Deamon Dance
No, no, no
Deamon Dance

You say the end of time is coming far too near
My love for life is torn in vain through all the years
What's the answer to the question
That we have been searching for
Can you tell?
Don't want to fall apart before we have a chance
To try again
Don't let it end
I tried so hard to make it right for you and I
Your sacred promises have all become a lie
Is this your idea of destiny?
'Cause if it is, just set me free
You can not fool me with your stories being told
My God it brings me down, I feel I'm growing old
Is this your idea of destiny?
'Cause if it is, just set me free
No, please don't end it now, there is so much more
We can do, you know, don't let it end
Let's gather what we had and build it up, again
It used to be so good, oh, please don't let it end
No, please don't end it now, there is so much more
We can do, you know, don't let it end
<@#Yngwie_Malmsteen_How_Many_Miles_To_Babylon.txt#@>
In this wasteland without any shadows
There is no water for my dusty throat
There is no rainbow days filled with silent sorrow
And for our sins there are no antidotes.
Eternal sand
There is no end to his no man's land
We all must pay
For the piper we dance while he plays
How many miles to Babylon
How many years must I carry on.
In this our endless searching for the Holy Grail
There is no sleep for the souls who find no rest
Ships of the desert without rigs or sails
Flotsam and Jetsam floating from the west
Eternal sand
There is no end to his no man's land
We all must pay
For the piper we dance while he plays
How many miles to Babylon
How many years must I carry on

I am a Viking in going out to war
And I've got death upon my mind
As I was leavin' oh yesterday
I've got no fear in my heart
As the shores of my home disappear
I sail over the sea without fear
Dragon ships are charging through the waves
Just want to sail away into the sea yeah yeah
I am a warrior my mind is set to kill
Life or death is on the line
I am a slayer and you will taste my steel
I've got your life right in my hand
As the shores of my home disappear
I sail over the sea without fear
Dragon ships are charging through the waves
Just want to sail away into the sea yeah yeah
You are a loser and it's such a shame
That you're a fool and you don't know
That in a viking I'll walk all over you
And by my sword you will die
As the shores of my home disappear
I sail over the sea without fear
Dragon ships are charging through the waves
Just want to sail away into the sea yeah yeah

Why cannot man also fly
We're chained down to the earth
Not like birds in the sky
Soaring from birth
Devices of destruction, Devices of death
Find out their construction
Give them life, give them breath
Which God may I thank
Making art from a canvas blank
Paintings from the holy book
Depicting Christ and the chance he took
Oh, tell me
When will you ever learn
the true depths of my work
Future is my concern
You know art is my church
Gaze inside the quest of man
And find a new machine
I learn everything I can
Dig it up, cut it clean
Always tried my very best
To find what lies within
Put myself to the test
Judge me not, it's not a sin
Which God may I thank
Making art from a canvas blank
Paintings from the holy book
Depicting Christ and the chance he took
Oh, tell me
When will you ever learn
the true depths of my work
Future is my concern
You know art is my church
When I'm dead and I'm gone
Will you remember me?
I've seen beyond the sun
Reinventing machines

The earth is crumbling, the end is near
No one's listening, I'm filled with fear
Hear the warning, in the prophet's word
Day by day, we're destroying this world
No more water
No more blue skies
No one cares, no one tries
To save what we once had
World at war (a world at war)
Rich and poor (rich and poor)
Burn in hell (burn in hell)
Hear dooms days bells (dooms days bells)
Ringing loud (ringing loud)
I see black clouds
We are making lucifer so proud
World at war (a world at war)
Rich and poor (rich and poor)
Burn in hell (burn in hell)
Hear dooms days bells (dooms days bells)
Ringing loud (ringing loud)
I see black clouds
We are making lucifer so proud
Blind leading the blind
No one sees the seventh sign
We're left behind
There's no more hope, the day has come
What we have done, can't be undone
Too many years, we've lived in sin
We know for sure, the beast will win
Fight fire with fire, to start to run
Don't trust a liar, like we have done
We've lost the battle to the evil one
Blind leading the blind
No one sees the seventh sign
We're left behind.

Now we're on a journey
Into darker times
See the man made mountains
Built for those divine
Walk into the twilight
In the land of the dead
Gods walked the earth
City of a thousand gates
They were kings from birth
That was their given fate
In the valley of kings
Where the echoes still ring
On the hot desert winds
In the valley of kings
Their souls are immortal
Within the after life
They're soaring through the portal
To be eternal light
Ruling without mercy
Reigning life on earth
Gods walked the earth
City of a thousand gates
They were kings from birth
That was their given fate
In the valley of kings
Where the echoes still ring
On the hot desert winds
In the valley of kings
Gods walked the earth
City of a thousand gates
They were kings from birth
That was their given fate
In the valley of kings
Where the echoes still ring
On the hot desert winds

In the midnight moonlight I'll, be walkin' a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seein' this picture of you.
Here comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
You never walk alone, and you're forever talkin' on the phone.
I've tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same.
Here comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
I'm still waiting for your heart, cause I'm sure that some day it's gonna
start.
You'll be mine to hold each day, but 'till then, this is all that I can say.
Here comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,

Sometimes the bad guys go right on top
Sometimes the good guys lose
We try not to lose our hearts, not to lose our minds
Sometimes the bad days may take their grip
Sometimes the good days fade
But the rain today hurts the head to drink
But nothing ever stays the same
Nothing's explained
The harder the we go
The longer we climb
'Cause this isn't the road we know
So say good night to me
Lose no more time
No time
'Cause it's been fun
I heard you called me
From far away, far like the king Tut
Having the voice to make it right
So I just cry
I fell to stay good
So been away
Before I could even see
Tried once more
Lost my ??? and we're gone
But nothing ever stays the same
Nothing's explained
The longer it takes
The looser the times
'Cause this isn't the road we know
So say good night to me
Lose no more time
No time
'Cause this ain't the road
But nothing ever stays the same
Nothing's explained
The stronger ???
The faster ???
'Cause this isn't the road we know
So say good night to me
Lose no more time
No time
'Cause this ain't the road
'Cause this ain't the road
'Cause this ain't the road
'Cause this ain't the road
'Cause this ain't the road
'Cause this ain't the road
'Cause this ain't the road
'Cause this ain't the road
'Cause this ain't the road

The room was filled with talk
For anyone listening
I found a spot by the door
With no one around
Let my mind go
Out of tune
Out of tune
I kept a smile on my face
For anyone looking
Tried to turn away questions
Before he asked
Let my mind go
Out of tune
Out of tune
I was engrossed in the film
Without really watching
Said, "who's the guy with the gun?"
As if I was involved
Let my mind go
Out of tune
Out of tune

Whatever you want from me, whatever you want I'll do
Try to squeeze a drop of blood from a sugarcube
Try to be more assured, try to be more right there
Try to be less uptight, try to be more aware
Whatever you want from me, is what I want to do for you
Sweeter than a drop of blood from a sugarcube
And though I like to act the part of being tough
I crumble like a sugarcube for you
Whatever you want from me, whatever you want I'll do

What did I miss here?
What can't you take anymore?
Expecting a whisper,
I heard the slam of a door
You say that all we ever do is fight
Gee, I don't know that that's true.
Then I wonder, am I right?
Or is that part of our problem?
Maybe I'm out of my mind.
Maybe I'm blocking out the truth.
But it seems like just a little thing,
Like you don't want to listen,
And I can't shut up.
You don't have to smile at me.
We don't have to talk.
All that I ask is you stop,
And remember, it isn't always this way.
You have the problem,
It comes with our private jokes.
When you're in a fury,
Laughter gets stuck in my throat.
Sometimes I wonder why we have so much trouble
Cheering each other up sometimes,
When one or the other of us is down.
Instead it's like, when you're in a bad mood
I look at you and I say, maybe she's knows something
I don't know, maybe I should be upset.
You don't have to smile at me
We don't have to talk.
All that I ask is you stop
And remember, it isn't always this way.
The way that I feel
When you laugh
Is like laughing.
The way that I feel
When you cry
Is so bad.

A friend lent me shades
So I could hide my eyes that day.
Was a snowy day,
The shades have seen a lot of things I didn't want to know myself.
Was like an accident, part of growing up,
People tell me.
But something inside me, something inside me died that day.

How am I gonna tell you how I need you?
Through pride and hurt and love and fear
We lay an ocean between us.
Forgive me, my love,
For closing my eyes to our love.
It seems easier for us
If we thought this was just a play.
How am I gonna tell you how I miss you?
How am I gonna tell you how I need you?

We hold an ocean inside us.
Let me take your hand
And press it on my breast
And you will know that

Ah -
Ah -
This is hell in paradise,
We're all asleep or paralyzed.
Why are we scared to verbalize
Our multicolor dreams?
When will we come to realize,
We're all stoned or pacified,
While the boogie men organize
Their multilevel schemes?
Underqualified for love,
Overqualified for life,
Sticking our heads in slime,
Thinking we're in our prime.
Mesmerized by mythology,
Hypnotized by ideology,
Antagonized by reality,
Vandalized by insanity,
Desensitized by fraternity,
Sanitized by policy,
Jeopardized by lunacy.
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh....
This is hell!
Penalized by apathy
And living in the world of fantasy.
Dancing on hot coal, waiting for the last call,
It's adam's ball, eve's call.
Wake up, shake up, check out, work out, speak out,
Reach out, it's time to, time to, time to,
To, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.
This is hell in paradise,
None of us wish to recognize.
But do we want them to materialize
An endangered species?
Mobilize transition,
With inspiration for life.

<@#Yoko_Ono_Kite_Song.txt#@>
I flew a kite, I held on tight to its string
Each time I go anywhere, I held on tight
In the middle of the night I woke up in fright
Thinking maybe in my dream I let go my kite
When I was in a restaurant talking to my friends
Watching their mouths move faster and faster
I thought of the kite that was flying the sky
And made sure that my hand was holding the string
That was long time ago
Many skies went by since then
Now my hands stopped holding anything
And I've learned to take a walk instead
Then one day in an evening light
I saw something strange shining bright
The sky was dark with swarms of larks
And in the midst of it all, yes, it was my kite
How did the kite get there? I never know
Floating away among the clouds to where nobody knows
I held my gun with both my hands
Slowly aiming at the shining dot
The shot went off, that dot blew off
Since then I've never seen the kite again

Don't do it, (do it!)
I can't do it,
I'm seeing broken glass when we do it. (do it!)
You promised me, you promised me,
You promised me, you promised me.
I don't remember what we promised,
But I know we didn't keep it.
You promised me, you promised me,
You promised me, you promised me.
I don't remember what we promised,

Ah-ah, ah-ah,
Ah-ah, ah-ah.
She gets down on her knees to throw up life,
She gets down on her knees to throw up life,
She gets down on her knees to throw up life,
That's the only thing she does it good.
Mm -
Mm -
Room to room, flushing away her memory,
Bay to bay, washing out her history.
Ah-ah!
She gets down on her knees to make up life,
She gets down on her knees to make up life,
She gets down on her knees to make up life,
That's the only way she has it good.
She's a mainliner who's never took a main line,
She's a one liner who's never found the one line,
She goes from one bay to another looking for a liner.
Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground,
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight.
Mm -
Mm -
She's a line thrower, dip it in a honey bowl,
She's a line burner, rub it in with vinegar and oil,
She goes from one sky to another looking for a liner.
Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground,
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight.
Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground,
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah -
Blur patches in the clouded sky,
Too high to catch her tears and sighs,
Looking over tenderly.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah! ah!

Human civilization is in a state of hibernation,
We'll grow to know the planets full distribution.
The world as our reflection will regain it's circulation,
Our life span will meet our life plan of starpeace.
Human civilization is in a state of isolation,
We'll learn to reach out for terrestrial communications.
We'll make our first migration from earth to other constellations,
Our life span will meet out life plane of starpeace.
Love is our energy source, wisdom is our power source.
Health is our nature resource,
Growth is our future resource.
Join the state of the universe,

Well it was Sunday bloody Sunday
When they shot the people there
The cries of thirteen martyrs
Filled the Free Derry air
Is there any one amongst you
Dare to blame it on the kids?
Not a soldier boy was bleeding
When they nailed the coffin lids!
[Chorus:]
Sunday bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday's the day
You claim to be majority
Well you know that it's a lie
You're really a minority
On this sweet emerald isle
When Stormont bans our marches
They've got a lot to learn
Internment is no answer
It's those mothers' turn to burn!
[Chorus x2]
You anglo pigs and scotties
Sent to colonize the North
You wave your bloody Union Jack
And you know what it's worth!
How dare you hold to ransom
A people proud and free
Keep Ireland for the Irish
Put the English back to sea!
[Chorus]
Well, it's always bloody Sunday
In the concentration camps
Keep Falls Road free forever
From the bloody English hands
Repatriate to Britain
All of you who call it home
Leave Ireland to the Irish
Not for London or for Rome
[Chorus x4]
<@#Yolanda_Adams_I_Believe_I_Can_Fly.txt#@>
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the ever lasting arms
If I can see it
Then I can do it
If I just believe it
There's nothing to it
[Chorus]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes the silence could seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first it's got to start inside of me
If I can see it
Then I can do it
If I just believe it
There's nothing to it
[Chorus]
Cuz I believe in me, yea,yea,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh
If I can see it
Then I can do it
If I just believe it
There's nothing to it, oh
[Chorus]
I believe I can fly(I can fly)
I believe I can fly(I can fly)
I believe I can fly(I can fly)
I can do anything yea, yea, yea. yea
I can fly
I can do anything, yea, yea, yea

I say a prayer every night
Whatever I do, I'll get it right
With no regret, no guilt or shame this time (no not this time)
Once I surrender, I won't dare look back
'Cause if I do, I'll get off track
Move ahead in faith
And patiently await your answer
What will it be
Sight beyond what I see
You know what's best for me
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
For whatever comes, I'm gone' be ready
Strength to pass any test
I feel like I'm so blessed
With you in control, I can't go wrong
'Cause I always know
I'm gonna be ready
I was free to do what I wanted to
Lost everything, but I still had you
You showed me your grace
Now my life's renewed and I thank you (yes... I thank you)
So I'll tell anyone who'll listen, I'll testify
About how good you were to me when so call friends passed me by
The fact that you would show somebody so broke down
So much mercy...
Sight beyond what I see
You know what's best for me
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
For whatever comes, I'm gonna be ready
Strength to pass any test
I feel like I'm so blessed
With you in control, I can't go wrong
'Cause I always know
I'm gonna be ready
So use me as you will
I'll pay the price
'Cause made the ultimate sacrifice
It's all because of you that I even have life
And I'll give my love as a tribute to how great you are...
Sight beyond what I see
You know what's best for me
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
For whatever comes, I'm gonna be ready
Strength to pass any test
I feel like I'm so blessed
With you in control, I can't go wrong

I've come through many hard trials
Through temptations on every hand
Though Satan's tried to stop me
And to place my feet on sinking sand
Through the pain and all of my sorrows
Through the tears and all my fears
The Lord was there to keep me
For He's kept me in the midst of it all
Not because I've been so faithful
Not because I've always obeyed
No it's not because I trusted Him
To be with me all of the way
But it's because He loves me so dearly
He was there to answer my calls
He was there always to protect me
For He's kept me in the midst of it all
I've come through many hard trials
Through temptations on every hand
Though Satan's tried to stop me
And to place my feet on sinking sand
But Jesus loves me dearly
He was there to answer my calls
He was there always to protect me
For He's kept me in the midst of it all
For He's kept me in the midst of it all
No He's never left me
And He's never let me fall
Oh yes He will protect you
For He's kept me in the midst of it all
For He's kept me in the midst of it all
Yes He's kept me
Yes Jesus kept me
Yes Jesus kept me
Jesus kept me
Jesus kept me

In the midst of it all yea yes

Tears streaming down, her heart is broken
Because her life is hurting, so am I
He wears a frown, his dreams are choking
And because he stands alone, his dreams will die
So, humbly I come to you and say
As I sound aloud the warfare of today
Hear me, I pray
What about the children?
To ignore is so easy
So many innocent children
Would choose the wrong way
So what about the children?
Remember when we were children?
And if not for those who loved us
And who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today?
Sir, where is your son? Where lies his refuge?
And if he can't come to you, then where can he run?
Such a foolish girl, yet still she's your daughter
And if you will just reminisce your days of young
You see, it's not where you've been
Nor what you've done because I know a friend
Who specializes in great outcomes
See his love overcomes
And what about the children?
To ignore is so easy
So many innocent children
Would choose the wrong way
Yes, what about the children?
Remember when we were children?
And if not for those who loved us
And who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today?
What about the children?
Don't just turn and walk away
What about the children?
They need our love and our help today
Yes, what about the children?
Remember when we were children?
And if not for those who loved us
And who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today?
Where would we be today?
Where would we be today?
What about the children?

I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.
I pray we'll find your light.
I pray we'll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
And hold it in our hearts
And stars go out each night
Stars go out each night
Remind us where you are.
Remind us where you are.
Let this be our prayer
Y: Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe.
A world where pain and sorrow will be ended
And every heart that's broken will be mended
And we'll remember we are all God's children
Reaching out to touch you
Reaching to the sky.
We ask that life be kind
We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love
Another soul to love.
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child.
Just like every child.
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe.

If ever I need you dear
I find your love is gone
Sign on the dotted line
And try to take it home
I left my lamp a-burning
I left the front door open wide
No sleep come the morning
Wore it out with the tears I cried
[Chorus]
Are you gonna be my angel?
The Devil's never gonna let me save my poor soul
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Shovel that shines like silver
Digs a hole in the ground
The gold ring that I gave you
I found it laying 'round
The hole ate up my mind
The hole ate up my heart
Your name's still on my lips
When I whisper in the dark
[Chorus:Repeat x4]
<@#Yonder_Mountain_String_Band_Classic_Situation.txt#@>
Sleep on it, see if it makes a difference in the morning
Go to work, get through the day and try not to remember
Even if we had something to say,
Would you hold it dear, would it fly away with you, with you
Long ago, it felt like we were both so much younger
Here we are a repeat of a classic situation
Did you build us up just to say how high?
Would you let me down?
Even notice that I was with you, with you
There you go, gone again without an explanation
So anyway get through the day and try not to remember
Even if we found nothing to say
Would it finally hide all the reasons to stay with you, with you

Wide eyes show white
White enough to shoot
But if you ain't got the strength to fight it
and you just can't hide it
And I ain't gonna open my eyes anymore
ain't gonna open my eyes anymore
Pale faces burn.
I would've thought by now we'd learn
But every fool still waits their turn in
the rotisseries turning
Well I ain't gonna open my eyes anymore
I ain't gonna open my eyes anymore
I ain't gonna open my eyes anymore

And we'll wait all summer just to piss on your door
The wing commander's sister is a golden haired surprise
I can't walk far but I can shoot for miles
And my radar can see anyone over thirteen

We done a lot of dumb things now, sure hope we do some more

And no one's listening.

Keeping him up while his mistress rings his hands.
Picked him up after school
Just make sure you're looking good.
And no one's leaving.

Get off your knees.

Get off your knees.
It's mini coke and prawns again
In his room or on the sand.
Not a day before he fell
Propping up the bar at the Raffle's hotel.
And no one' leaving.

Down on the sand.

My ambitions as a hustla (i wont deny it im a straight hustla, I wont deny it)
[Repeat: x3]
Its Mr. Trap or die yeah yall remember me
First album was a classic them critics weren't feelin' me
Now as far as award shows we all know how that goes
So whats all the doubt about because he ain't sellin' out
Because he ain't givin' up because he don't give a fuck
Because he ain't changin' up I guess he aint lean enough
And just know I'm savin' up let you play with my sanity
Gives a fuck what you think of me unless you feedin' my family
Mother fuck all my enemies one time for my mini me's
Listen to these niggas I bet you hear plenty me
I'm who they pretend to be the one they pretend to do
See me I'm a hustla I do what my hustlaz do
[Chorus]
Might not just be the best just know I plan to be
I refuse to let suckers win but thats just the man in me
Look it could be the G in me these niggas ain't seein' me
Unless they seein' me in traffic and somethin' topic and drastic
I say I grind like there 10 of me swear to god theres just one of me
Look I know I ain't there yet just know that I'm gonna be
I couldn't wait to see the day I could change where my momma stay
Put the b.s. behind me theres too much money in front of me
[Chorus]
<@#Young_Jeezy_Thats_How_Ya_Feel.txt#@>
Yeah, ay, jeah, ay nigga
If you at the light right now, nigga
And the nigga sweating you, my nigga
Looking at you 'cause you got
The big boy shoes on ya shit, my nigga
Ay, roll down ya motherfucking window, nigga
Blow out that dro smoke, nigga
Tell that nigga that's how the fuck ya feel, nigga
Ya feel like ya look nigga, ya feel good nigga
What's happening nigga? Let's get it, ay, let's go
Red paint, inside's peanut butter
They seeing me, but I don't see them suckers
I ain't gon lie, man my shit tight
Hoes jocking, got 'em stopping like a red light
Wake me up, this a sick dream
Got the Alpine with the flat screen
These niggaz ain't aware, mayne
12's in the trunk sounding like an airplane
A 757 jet
He ain't know? You dealing with a fucking vet
Niggaz cold like banana splits
That's why I cop the are with banana clips
Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)
Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)
I got a project chick with a lot of kids
She say, she like my flow but love my ad libs
I was saying, "Yeah" before Usher
Never scared like T I and Bone Crusher
Any problem, Jeezy take care of it
Them ugly hoes say a nigga arrogant
Real slow is how I drive past
Got everybody looking, sweating like a gym class
I see you funny niggaz got jokes
Disrespect the Chevy, still riding on spokes
You fucking with a player
We don't just say, "No", we too busy saying, "Yeah"
Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)
Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)
I'm a motherfucking problem, who wanna solve me, dog?
Got six cell phones, who gon' call me dog?
This ain't a movie, we are not actors
Still use a duck ass nigga for target practice
Infrared beam on the Mausberg pump
Hit his ass with it twice, make him A-Town Stomp
In gats we trust
Niggaz play a lot of games dog, but not with us
Call me, 'Jack In The Box', hop out with two clips
Cook ya faster than a T-bone at Ruth Chris
You still hating, looking stupid
I'm in the SL, looking real Coupe-ish
Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down
(That's how ya feel)
Sitting 24 inches off the ground
(That's how ya feel)
A young nigga sellin' fruity by the pound
(That's how ya feel)
And I got the best white in the town
(That's how ya feel)
45 on my lap, it's going down

<@#Young_Jeezy_Trapped.txt#@>
Yo, they still be grindin', and runnin'
Tryin' to get into somethin' or nothin'
I remember them days, when the block got hot, bullets flyin' for the what
It was, like, you ain't, really give a fuck
I'm a sister, mother, I'm your daughter, I'm your lover and I'm
Right here, and I'm sayin' that it's whack sauce
Everything that you do tryna be the boss
You ain't really really doin' it, (nah)
I mean honestly pursuing it
Ca-cause, if you did you wouldn't be murdering, (your own people like)
Oh ya see, it's a trap, (it's a trap, that's what it's called by the way)
It's a trap
It's a trap night nigga, here we go again
Jill left the door wide open, so I'm goin' in, (let's go)
Through a bedroom I could see my momma tears, (tears)
All I smell is Hennessey mixed with my momma fears, (yeah)
Please momma don't cry, you know I hate cryin', (cryin')
I try my best not to die, you know I hate dyin', (yeah)
Three eighty for my thirteenth birthday, (birthday)
I promised her I wouldn't let you motherfuckers hurt me, (yeah)
So y'all get back, Jeezy got a automatic
Every time I turn the TV on a nigga seein' static, (damn)
Guess they forgot to pay them cable folks
Them niggas in my first class got them cable jokes, (haha)
Open up the refrigerator see some old milk
Shit been sittin' so long look like some old silk, (damn)
I've been cursed since the day this earth birthed me
I've been cursed since the day my mother birthed me, (yeah)
And how did I get here in the first place
Oh that's right, see the trap was my birthplace (haha, young)
[Chorus]
Said that I know you've been trapped, (trapped)
Like you wanna move on, but they hold you back
To face consequences, of what you did on some bullshit (yeah, wassup)
Said that I know you've been trapped, (trapped)
Like you wanna move on, but they hold you back, (ain't no way out)
To face consequences, of what you did on some bullshit (what you know bout
this homie, trap life, let's go)
Even though we had a will, we ain't have a way, (way)
They just told us how to live, we ain't have a say, (say)
All I know is the other side got some cuffs for ya, (for ya)
Fresh khaki suit, nigga that's enough for ya, (yeah)
Got ya spendin' all ya money on lawyer fees, (fees)
Judge throwin' numbers at you like he speakin' Japanese, (oo-wahh)
All cause a nigga out here playin' bakery, (bakery)
I'm out here tryna get this bread, somebody pray for me, (haha)
I'm always on the block so I rarely go to church, (church)
Didn't wanna hear it from the preacher, cause the truth hurts
And right now I'm so high, I should be scared of heights, (heights)
A Town nigga I be on that kryptonite, (yeah)
I got deadlines nigga no bedtime, (time)
The only thing promised to ya is some fed time, (time)
And how did I get here in the first place
Oh that's right, see the trap was my birthplace (haha, Young)
You ain't really really doin' it, (nah)
I mean honestly pursuin' it, (not at all)
Ca-cause, if you did you wouldn't be murdering, (your people like)
Oh ya see, it's a trap, (it's a trap ya'll)

<@#Youth_Of_Today_Modern_Love_Story.txt#@>
A boy a girl a love story
But why did it end in misery
Taking our chances getting our thrills
Taking and taking but never getting our fill
And this is what I see a modern love story
Love defined on our TV
Telling us teaching us what we need
Are we in love or just so alone
That we're looking for anyone to hold
And this is what I see a modern love story
When the prey is caught, the thrill gone
So we'll switch partners and move along
And we won't use our brains
Because our lust is too strong
Overlooking the person to whom
The body belongs
And this is what I see a modern love story
<@#Youth_Of_Today_One_Family.txt#@>
I have so much anticipation
For the future generations
I think kids today are growing up smart
With open minds ands open hearts
We can do it !
We'll put our heads to it
And then we'll be
ONe family!
A world filled with racial stress
But it seems every year less and less
Those old fashioned standards are going away
Tomorrow will be a brighter day !
We can do it
We'll put our heads to it
And then we'll be
One family !
So if you agree and want to help
Fisrt you must look inside yourself
Because unity begins with just us two
Then we'll watch it spread to all of you
We can do it
We'll put our heads to it
And then we'll be
One family !
<@#Yukmouth_Falling.txt#@>
Do or Die in this bitch
Yes, do this for my soldiers (Do or Die)
What? I've had more up and downs then a roller coaster (what up yo)
Shit but we gon' ball again
What? If I ever stop falling
I got so many hustlin' skills they can't fuck wit me
Soon as I go broke, the next day I be havin' some paper, I'm that raw
Breakin' bitches, pullin' cases, robbin' niggas, selling drugs,
Rappin' and shit, whatever I gotta do
Chorus:
If I ever ball again, I know just what I'ma do
If I ever ball again, I'll never be losin'
If I ever start fallin', ever start fallin'
Someday I'm gon' ball again, someday I'm gon' ball again
If I ever start fallin', If I ever start fallin'
But I'm gon ball again, someday I'm gon ball again
Nigga, If I stop ballin', dig it, I better be on top again,
Drinkin' Henessy on the rocks again
Paper choppin' 10s and 20s with plenty of bitches up on my jock
My friends been born riders since the age of 10
I wanted a schwinn so I copped a schwinn
I wanted a benz so I copped a benz
I wanted to fuck her partner friend so I got em up in a menage a trois
But the consequence them broads fell in love with each other
Left me up out the wind

I check the map cause I keep smokin and won't fuck again
So now I hop in the big body Benz, my friend
Bend a corner to the weed spot with ends to spend
Park the Benz, jump out like 'what's up, my friend?'
He plugged me with the chronic buds that make mi platinum teeth grin
Let us begin: why, what, when or where and when
A nigga spend so much cheese on this weed, my friend
Cause I'm a fiend, my friend, a dopefiend, my friend
Plus all around the world smokin weed make friends
From Italy to Japan smokin weed make friends
They don't know my language but understand my weed, my friend
From here to Amsterdam smokin weed make friends
Smoke Afghanistan hashis overseas, my friend
Come again
[ CHORUS: Benzalino ]
Lah lah
Always seen me smokin lah lah

[ VERSE 2: Yukmouth ]
Everywhere a nigga go I'm smokin 'dro, my friend
Mi like to blow and then mi blow until mi need mo' again
And so I go again, go and get the endo, my friend
Hit the liquor store and get the optimols, my friend
Come again, I take a piss test on parole, my friend
That's why mi keep ???? golden seals and blunts pre-rolled, my friend
Cause I can't let the p.o. kknow that I ???? smoke it again

Plus all around the world smokin weed make friends

He told me you can hit this, my man, if you just pitch in that 10
And they some fiends, some dopefiends, my friend
They do everything from fry to codeines, my friend
So I'm like, "Whoa, just let me buy some trees, my friend
So I can be about my business and let you be, my friend"
The principle caught me chokin smokin trees, my friend
He told me: "Let me hit that, boy" - smokin weed make friends
Come again

One day at a time
We can learn to leave the past behind
One day at a time
We can look the future in the eye
One day at a time
We can learn to live
The gates of the garden are open
Wide and the trusting
70 thousand will enter
Of them without reckoning
One day at a time
We can learn to leave our fears behind
One day at a time
We can stare our hopes in the eye
One day at a time
We can learn to live
And if you meet the evening
Don't wait for the sun to rise
One day at a time
We can leave all treasures behind
One day at a time
We can watch the clocks unwind
One day at a time
A child is born into this world eyes blind
One day he will find his sign
And glimpse some other kind of life
To live by, one day
One day at a time
We can put machines behind
One day at a time
We can learn how birds survive
One day at a time
We can learn to fly

Yeah, yeah, Z-Ro, DP, Billy Cook lay it down
All night long, smoked all fire, yeah yeah
[Z-Ro]
We can ball all day, four play in the hallway
Taking trips overseas, France, England, and my way
I'm the Don Datta, but you can't be my baby mama
Let me save you the drama, roll on like a Yokohama
We can, go half on the room, and half on a sack
And while you breaking the buzz down, I'ma be hitting it from the back
Bend over baby, I got something to show you baby
Turn around on your back toes up on the shoulders baby
Steady deep stroking don't mind me, just keep smoking
Bust a lot to break the serve and the soda water open
But you ain't my may thang, just a little something to the side
So don't talk when I'm talking on the phone, you keep quiet
Just open your mouth wide and let me put it inside
Smoke a sweet and to finish my cup and then it's time to slide
Don't worry about nothing cause it's confidential
Open up your runway for my ?con? to dent you
(Chorus - 2x (Billy Cook vocalizing in background)
All night long, all night
We be smoked all night
All night long, all night
As we flip and sip pink sprite
[Z-Ro]
Put a six in a Cris we gone sip on that
It's harder than a roll of quarters put your hips on that
Removing your thong, penetrate the pick and it's on
Still sipping and smoking stroking steady making you moan
I'm number 0 City Don, got a cottage by the barn
Automatic gauges vicious dogs roaming the lawn
You got to worry about nothing except for keeping me happy
And if it's with you than a bitch steady tapping and nappy
[DP]
Steady tapping and nappy, getting the headboards clapping
Hell shot, pussy with your man asking what happened
And no excuses out your mouth cause you've been riding with me
Arrange my soldiers, T-H-you-G
See you can tell from the smile and the way that you strip
Something ain't right, though nigga been all up in the guts
Better soak on some alcohol, and leave me alone
Bitch ask for the cash I get it
(Chorus - 2x)
[Z-Ro]
I need a thug bitch, a shop lift and sell drug bitch
But don't be tripping when I'm pimping in the club bitch
We can hit the telly and get under the sheets
Knocking you down till I move around back on the streets
And keep rolling, got to keep my benjamins folding
Then I'm coming back to beat it up until it's swollen
Baby it's non stopping fix a nigga a plate
So don't worry I be coming to your house real late
Meanwhile I'm a soldier in the battlefield
I'm on a mission trying to get it, I'ma make a mill
With or without you, but if you down
Then we can do it together, drank rubbers and automatic rounds
But don't be tripping when I say I need space
I ain't cheating but it's some reason it's a knee case
I'm a block bleeder, you got to share me with the drugs and shit
But when I'm fucking you it's beautiful I love the shit
(Chorus - 4x)

Guerilla till I die, mama don't cry
When they come for me, when I blast
We gon see how many of em run from me
Guerilla till I die, but I never shed a tear
Cause they don't love a nigga here
[Z-Ro]
American me, could it be my own
War is out to murder me
I'm ready to kill, and I'm ready to die
But have these cowards heard of me
The rumors are real, better keep your glock cocked
Leaving em stiffer than a statue
Ready to defend, like a guerilla, by any
Means that I'd murder if I have to
Heard my homie's working as an undercover
Ready to kiss my cheek, and earn your silver pieces
Could it be that I've seen my last supper
Mighty Jahova, please protect my spirit from the danger
And I know you said you would strike down upon the
With great vengeance and curious anger
But don't attempt to poison your brother
Was it nothing but the word of God
That kept a nigga, from taking the lives of so many others
And I'm trying to keep ways right, brothers and mothers
I'm falling around a grave sight, pu-punk I hate you to death
But yet I loved you so, wanted you to feel my pain since 91
So brother come with me, and die slow
I hate you to death, but yet I loved you so
Wanted you to feel my pain since 91
So brother come with me, and die slow
[Hook - 2x]
[Verse 2]
As my life flashes before my eyes
Visions of wicked ways, keep me puzzled
Wondering why I was introduced to a life
Filled with drama and trouble
And everyone's always got something to say
When I come around, when I clown
Armed a deal, smile in my face
And stab me in my back, when I turn around
And I can feel hateful eyes, watching plotting to get me
They under estimate me, hate me
But never approach, cause they can't fade me
And I'll be damned if I go softly, shouldn't of crossed me
Guerilla till I die, and I'ma blast when they come for me
Please tell me is there a place, where my guerillas could see refuge
Cause it seems this time we gain one, as one more elute
Whatever the rules, whatever you choose, whatever you give, I accept
Just let me twist up, let me smoke one for the world before my last breath
How can I go on, how can I take away my anguish
I put a frown on my face, cause now guerillas are strangers
And nobody knows my soul, so I show no fear
Mobbing till I die, cause they don't love a nigga here
[Hook - 2x]
[Z-Ro]
Could it be I'm too good for hell
Heaven don't want me, because I keep slippin'
Even though I got two clips, I still preach
Motherfuckers around had to be Christians
And I got a problem I suppose, but I know
I'm gon solve it with a 4-4, ten-six on fry
And I got 25's, hollin' I roll
But they tell me to keep my head up and finish my tape
Because its gon jam but I'm losing respect, my music can't hang
Around Z-Ro, just till we praying, I really don't know
All I can say, that I don't trust nobody on this earth
Been that away, ever since my birth
But its gotta stay that-a-away till I'm dying
Innocent niggas, risen up out of my business
Is something they better do, I'ma hit the I cut
When a fucker rolling rocks, sold em up even
Till I got rest, gotta put it down to the bullets
Dump a lot of bullets, till the job done
Till a nigga really want to, kill myself
Nigga shut the fuck up, my record is spinning
I'm really trying to feel myself
Gotta get em all, gotta get em dead
When I'm filling the bed, put a infrared to the head
Everybody come up dead, better get on or get stole on
Nigga better get on, but I just can't hold on
Cause I'm ready to kill and I'm ready to die
But next to steal, living on the motherfucking edge
Nigga don't run up, because its real
Nigga can you feel me
[Hook - 4x]
<@#Z-Ro_Hate.txt#@>
[Z-Ro]
Hey, why they hate me like I stole something
To make a nigga want to roll something
But I'm they closest partner, if I let them hold something
Good for nothing, but making me hate my peers
So let the world taste my tears
When they roll, they represent anger, paranoid with one in the chamber
To live the heads shots to my foes, and make them through with Dana
And when they splash it's a blood bath, and I trust no one
Ain't no more chunking up the deuce, when my thugs pass
Live my life in silentary vomet away from y'all
If I needed artillery could I even get the K from y'all
I'm all alone in the ways of the wicked, since I can't stand you hoes
Forever lonely when I kick it, in the lumino
With straps and shells, my life is murder and mail
The opposition see me coming, and they blast they self
This for my homies that don't know me, when I'm broke
Swear to God I hope you motherfuckers choke, when my gun smoke, hate
[Chorus - 2x]
The H is for these hoe niggas that's all in my face
And the A is for the actions that these bitch niggas take
And the T is for the tommy gun that's bout to blast
And the E is for eternal cause I ever last
[Z-Ro]
I be feeling like Pac, because I wonder if they still down
Facing homicide from haters, but my homies didn't even spill rounds
Fuck y'all, I hate you motherfuckers to death
Remember times, when I stopped niggas from clutching your chest
I live in bulletproof vests, but it seems
The only time I got family, is when a nigga dream
So fuck sleep, I'm on a 24 hour grind
Look at your darling son, now mama I'm out of my mind
I don't know how to be happy and I can't smile, and fuck a bitch
Cause she be plotting on how to get you, when y'all walking down the isle
The same motherfuckers that you care for, look how they do you
They don't love you pick up your pistol, and therefor
Represent yourself with the plastic, cause me myself
Want to put all of you motherfuckers in caskets
Fuck love, unless it's coming from the heaven up above
My hatred being written in blood, hate
[Chorus - 2x]
[Z-Ro]
There ain't no telling if a nigga make it, I might be stuck in the slums
A walking target steady ducking the gun
But even me and you can keep your wife, there'll be no hostages
Just give me what I'm looking for, and keep your life
I'm military minded, you can ask Klondike Kat
Even if they bomb first, Z-Ro is bout to bomb right back
I give a fuck about your life now, slugs hitting your windpipe now
Guess you could say I'm living shife now
All about my fetty, till I bubble like some champagne
Z-Ro the Crooked, the most valuable player up in this rap game
So back back, back back, be sure to give me more than fifty
Automatic rounds, down to pass that
Murder my foes, then I murder my friends
Because they turned on a nigga, when I ain't have no ends, hate
Murder my foes, then I murder my friends
Because they turned on a nigga, when a nigga wasn't chopping a Benz, hate
[Chorus - 4x]
<@#Z-Ro_Mirror_Mirror_On_The_Wall.txt#@>
[Z-Ro]
Let my coedine settle, and have a toast one time
Multiplications on my digits, come up over some time
3-57 in my spine, they can't hold me like Kobe Bryant
Powered up, popping tulips and clovers and stop signs
Taylor made, Gucci looking like a million bucks
Neck full of gold baggets, and trillion cuts
I reside on cuts, cause having money is a must
Give me the issue or get touched, the scuffling up
Fuck with the raw like a cut, cause I hit too hard
Radio stations don't play, cause I spit too hard
I know they hate me everyday, and I ain't quit so far
But if you cross the line, AK is gone hit your car
[Hook]
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the throwdest of them all
Cause you know my name, it's Z-Ro the Crooked
Z-Ro the Mo City Don, it ain't over it just begun
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the throwdest of them all
Cause you know my name, it's Z-Ro represent the third coast
Let my codeine settle, and have a toast
[Z-Ro]
I'm a guerilla that's after the scrilla, I cock glocks
I'm the top knotch, body armored like Shaq done blocked shots
Dropping cops cause they crooked, I'm the law now
Posted on the corner, selling raw now
Looking for them people, keep an open eye
And if I see the jackers, never hesitate I gotta open fire
Active like a live wire, retalliation is a must
Rock and buy these bezzels, and then I bust
Geniva watch, telling me it's time to ball
Get in the line till I make it to the front, and then it's time to fall
But if I ever fall off, just fall back behind the scene
Take seven, catch me up in sitcoms and big screens
[Hook]
[Z-Ro]
When I roll, I roll one deep
I never stop wrecking, these H-Town streets
And ain't nobody holding me down I'm a roll, I'm rolling
If you didn't know Southside still holding, folding
Big lemon faces, got real money cause I catch cases
Sipping on skeet tastes, and I'ma lean in private or public places
Milicated refreshness, keep my mind at ease
Trying to reach another level, keep me climbing trees
Coming smoke out my nose, bald faded minus before
Keep it gangsta, got groupie hoes striking a pose
But see they ain't getting chose, or catch me tipping my dob
I need a independent thug chick, launder money and drug shit
I'm the boss hog, ain't nobody hogging me over harder
Soft then I'm off, in the funk in my roller
[Hook - 2x]
<@#Z-Ro_Plex.txt#@>
[Z-Ro]
They say he was flipping out till, losing control of his mind
Moving fast, in a world that ain't ready for the pace focussed on his grind
Who am I to test, Z-Ro I bet everybody in Ridgemont 4 know me
Feel what I say up under the evidence is still your homie
You must of forgot about the days until you be in 94
When it was 72 where partners sagging creases to find a hoe
Now they can't look me in the eyes, cause they might tell on theyself
About having something to do with trying to riddle my number one partner to
death
You want to get even with me boy clear you can see me with a rap
But I'm about gangsta shit so bow before you see me with a strap
Cause I've been silent for so long, it's about time I broke the ice
Nobody want to box me why everybody want to pull a trigger to take a life
I'm down with crews cause everybody else is fake to me
Niggas with plex against me, they all cakes to me
And everybody want to be talking about they real and they got love
But motherfuckers don't love Z-Ro unless I got drink and I got bud so I got
plex
(Chorus - 2x)
Who's next to plex you want to test
Better have your life right in the bottle of your vest
Cause I'm also stressed, sometimes I wonder if I'm plexed
Thinking hit me will I have to put my homies to rest, plex
[Z-Ro]
Regular candy in river rain, we came to deliver pain
One hitter quitters and eagle talons up in your liver man
I came to bring the pain, all the way from the south to the west
Every one of my bullets are looking residence so they gone house in your chest
A nigga done been through so much shit the last five years of my living
Now a days the bitches are realer than homeboys so here's to my women
But then again I'm all alone I don't depend on a soul
Independently made a million then I took my benz on a stroll
Now everytime I come around my partners treat me like strangers
Never thought it would come to this I got to keep one in the chamber
What makes real niggas turn into hoes and make niggas go fraud
When it comes to me whether rapping them off to see this nigga go hard
Now everytime I come around my partners treat me like strangers
Never thought it would come to this I got to keep one in the chamber
What makes real niggas turn into hoes and make niggas go fraud
When it comes to me whether rapping the gangsta shit this nigga goes hard,
plex
(Chorus - 4x)
Plex, time to have plex
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta from the barrel of me tech
[Z-Ro]
Rolling by my motherfucking self you don't want to plex my friend
Fuck around with me and you might never breathe a breath again
Cause a nigga might shoot you in a place where it takes longer to die
And you know what they say no pain no gain
I guess you fin to gain your heavenly high
Marcus I see you when you shoved that pistol up in his nose
Pulling the trigger my nigga blood was dripping all out on his clothes
Do you think that I'm suppose to sit back and charge it to the game
That's why your baby mama house went up in flames you know my name
I wish I would of been strapped cause my partner would of still been alive
I would of ran up on your ass and I would of dumped and you would of died
Since a nigga can't change the past I'ma knock your ass up out of the future
I use to be down to dump side by side with you but you forced me to shoot you
Too many of these boys be bulletproof, that's why they like to compete
But run your badass over Ridgemont you be dead before you get to Ridgecrete
You think it's a game, but I've been working on a straight aim I'm ready to
kill
If I can't get to myself when you want to get leid by set of bitch got skills
(Chorus - 2x)
Plex, time to have plex
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta from the barrel of me tech
Cause I'm also stressed, sometimes I wonder if I'm blessed
Thinking deeply will I have to put my homies to rest
(Chorus - 4x)
Plex, time to have plex

(talking)
Look out man, quit tripping man, how you gone tell me
To choose between you and the streets, don't you know
If I leave the motherfucking streets alone
How are we gonna get the rent paid and the
Motherfucking bills paid, knowI'msaying
You got to cover my eyes remember
[Z-Ro]
Baby stay down with me through thick and thin, and I promise it's gonna pay
off
Though hurts you like a sailor cause baby you need to stay soft
You took me on a ride, without no breaks to mash
The things you do it make the average nigga hate your ass
But I just love it when you cuss at a nigga, when it's all good
In the bed when your finger nails clutching a nigga
You said you'd always be there, and not to worry about a thang
But when I started to struggle you left a nigga to hang
What kind of shit is when you want to see your woman tonight
On top of that there was no food, phone, water or lights
I had a state be thought of suicide, nobody could move it
You took the pistol from my head when I attempted to do it
Baby I know that I be tripping sometimes
It's just because I never owned anything that's mine
Understand my situation and be patient and we'll make it in the end
Want you to be the first to ride around in my benz
baby to know me is to love a thug
(Chorus)
Forgive me baby I'm a thug
I make all my money from selling all these drugs
I'm in it to win it and I don't want to lose
But I slowed down my hustle cause I'm digging you
And I, won't keep on hogging you
Even though you're the only girl I'm talking to
I'm in it to win it and I don't want to lose
But if I lose you, it's all a part of paying dues
[Z-Ro]
We went from good to better, better to worse then we separated
I should of beeped you to apologize but I guess I changed
Cause I be feeling like you wanted to end
Don't want to be your enemy baby, but I can't be your friend
Female associates are gone, miss, I loved you
And treated your kid as if he was my own kid
So if you think I was affatuated, bet one hundred see-notes
That I show you what it is to be broke
When I was ready to misbehave and get paid, my nigga run at me now
Knew it was peticular car cause I got you on my mind
Even all the days of my life I want you staying with me
But the way it's been it don't get gravy until you laying with me
Cause we be at eachother's thugs like we were crypts and bloods
Always the first to say I'm sorry grab your hips and shove
I want to kick it but I got business to handle with my crew
Call me later when you ready to say I do
baby to know me is to love a thug
(Chorus)
[Z-Ro]
Forgive me baby I'm a thug, what happened to all the capping
Now that I'm rich you want to greet me with kisses and hugs
I had to stop chasing you, I chose to chase my feddy
Now I get promenade in an escallade, and be low keyed in my cheve
Now you looking like you want to curse
Never put trust in the woman or a nigga, only put trust in my verse
Cause if it is well then I'll understand
if you ain't helping me making you could find another man
I'll get my pen and she is number one in my state
Got ladies looking from me head to chest then the navel
Willing and abel to be dedicated from the heart
Must of mistaken me for yourself that's why I cheated from the start
Freaky in the dark, baby I bet I make you cum
And if your nigga don't like it, I bet I'll make him run
I bet these bitches be tripping over the way I run through em like socks
Like them old niggas run through throw away glocks
Should of known me is to love a thug
(Chorus)

Roll in slowly, you'll be safer if you do

Let me ease your worried mind
It's the place to go without a doubt

Drinking whiskey and throwing dice.
And everybody knows
It was hard to leave.
And everybody knows
It was down at the Balinese.
Yeah, I remember Ruby,
She always dressed in red
Wearing skintight pants, Lord, and how she could dance
With a rag wrapped around her head.

She just tears me apart
She screws me up and skewers me
She made it quite an art
She guts me like a hollow-point
She really turns me on

Yeah, Billy
I know what you mean
It's the smell of the dress
That made my mind a mess

Really gets my goat-tee and amen
Yes, indeed

Been so long since I knocked some off

And if it gets you, man, you're through.

Well, everybody calls it the squank.
It's sick, depressing, getting bigger all the time.
Don't help it any way you can.
It's grey and brown and sometimes lime
And it's spreading all over the land.
And soon we'll be all breathing out of tanks
If something ain't done about the squank.
The meanest thing the world's ever bred
By me and you and my kin fold too.
A monster can't live unless it's fed,
And it's being fed by me and you.
And soon it's gonna leave the world blank,
And we'll all be erased by the squank.

I should have known better than to fool with a whiskey'n mama.
Whiskey'n mama, you standin' there
With your curly hair
Just to have you do me good.
I know you could if you only would.
Whiskey'n mama, you standin' there
With your curly hair
Just to have you do me good.
I know you could if you only would.
Well, the sun come shinin' on the rain soaked street.
Whiskey'n mama, where can she be?
I guess I'll have to put you down on my list,
I didn't want to do it but you insist.
I should have known better than to fool with a whiskey'n mama.

We never spoke a word
But every thought she had I heard from across the room
If we were standing face to face
I couldn't find the words to say
Give me one more move
I don't even know her name
I guess foolish pride's to blame
Now I'm falling in love as she's walking away
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Now I'm falling in love
As she's walking away
Wise man next to me did say
'Bout the one that got away
Son I missed my chance
Don't you let regret take place
Of the dreams you have to chase
Ask her to dance, go on son
You might fall down on your face
Roll the dice and have some faith
And don't be falling in love as she's walking away
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Don't be falling in love
As she's walking away
You might fall down on your face
Roll the dice and have some faith
And don't be falling in love as she's walking away
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Don't be falling, falling, falling in love
As she's walking away

1, 2, 3
This is gonna be funky
How come all the pretty girls like you are taken baby
I've been looking for someone like you to save me
Life's to easy to be so damn complicated
Take your time and I'll be waitin'
Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only
I think about you some days
And the way I would lay and waste a day after day with you
We always go our separate ways
But no-one can love you baby the way I do
Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only
Well the world can be real tough
Find shelter in me
If there's no-one else to love
Keep me in mind
If ever you wanted me, I'll be your man
I'd be a fool to let you go with someone else
Whatever you want from me, I'll be your man
I'd give it all up just to have you for myself
Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only
Well the world can be real tough
Why don't you hold on to me
When there's no-one else to love
Keep me in mind
(Keep me in mind)
And I'll hold you darling
(Keep me in mind)
I'll be your man
(Keep me in mind)
I'll hold you darling
(Keep me in mind)
C'mon little mama
Put it on me
<@#Zac_Brown_Band_Knee_Deep.txt#@>
Gonna put the world away for a minute
Pretend I don't live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away
Had sweet love but I lost it
She got too close so I fought it
Now I'm lost in the world tryin' to find me a better way
Wishin' I was
Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky, breeze and it don't seem fair
The only worry in the world
Is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise
Wrote a note, said "Be back in a minute"
Bought a boat and I sailed off in it
Don't think anybody's gonna miss me anyway
Mind on a permanent vacation
The ocean is my only medication
Wishin' my condition ain't ever gonna go away
'Cause now I'm knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind through my hair
Only worry in the world
Is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise
This champagne shore watchin' over me
It's a sweet sweet life livin' by the salty sea
One day you can be as lost as me
Change your geography and maybe you might be
Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind through my hair
Only worry in the world
Is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise
Come on in
The waters nice
Find yourself a little slice
Grab a backpack
Otherwise you'll never know until you try
When you lose yourself
You find a key to paradise

Got a quarter...
I passed out last night and I never made it home.
Wound up on a bus to San Antone.
My head hurts bad and I ain't wearing shoes.
Going to find my wallet and my way back home to you.
We're gonna make this day.
A little better than the last.
It's amazing how slow days like this can go.
Find a way to wash away.
Any regret you have, don't let this moment pass.
Live inside this day.
I got cuffs on my hands.
Chains on my feet.
I got locked up for the second time this week.
And I know I make you cry but girl my love is true.
I'm going to find my wallet and my way back home to you.
We're gonna make this day.
A little better than the last.
It's amazing how slow the days like this can go.
Find a way to wash away.
Any regret you have, don't let this moment pass.
Live inside this day.
Now I'm back on the street.
Thumb in the air.
Don't know how the hell that I got here.
But I'm gonna hitch that ride.
If it's the last thing I do.
Gonna find that wallet and bring it home to you.
We're gonna make this day.
A little better than the last.
Know don't you let this life come whoop your
Find a way to wash away.
Any regrets you have
Don't let this moment pass.
Live inside this day.

Hunt me down, seek me out, bring your best
That's how I want it to be
Full of doubt, full of fear, all's unclear
It's over 'cause now I can see
Like a tank, seething strength, crushing all
Pulling you under my treads
Lost some years, lost some days, that's okay
I piss on what's in my way
Your two-faced abusin'
Mindless confusion, resolution
(I feel I'm breathing my first breath)
Manipulation, dyin' salvation
You'll never rest
(You can't kill what's stronger than death)
Your two-faced abusin'
Mindless confusion, resolution
(I feel I'm breathing my first breath)
Manipulation, dyin' salvation
You'll never rest
(You can't kill what's stronger than death)
Looked inside, found myself, it was me
Waitin' there at the well
If you're green, you ain't seen, life's a game
Sometimes it's just hard to tell
Gouging eyes, breakin' bones, eatin' flesh
Puts a smile on my face
Crawlin' through glass, eatin' nails, losin' blood
It's all part of findin' your place
Your two-faced abusin'
Mindless confusion, resolution
(I feel I'm breathing my first breath)
Manipulation, dyin' salvation
You'll never rest
(You can't kill what's stronger than death)

In a time of quietness I reflect on childhood memories
Caught wisping through my mind
Falling leaves create the stage
Words spoken were not cherished
On the last day of our friendship
And those words were possibly the last
What were your thoughts
As a dreaming child I awaken to a nightmare
After a gentle nudge I find out you're gone
The machines that kept you alive were careless
Did you ask Him to forgive you
Before, before you passed on you slipped
You slipped, you passed on
The machines that kept you alive were careless
Did you ask Him to forgive you
Before you passed on
You slipped on away into the ground
You broke the vanity
You brought the silence

Put your coal to my trembling lips.
Voice fills void with your breath.
Crescent tears from the relief you bring.
Undone in you. I love you.
Broken teeth of my frustration.
Your glory it surrounds me.
Sing praises to God, sing praises.
Blanket my mind
with your wisdom and insight.
Hand molds the mud of my heart.
Joy of your strength
Overwhelms my praise.
Quickened in you.
I praise you.
Vibrant peace envelopes my lack.

Once again to strive, to beat it out
Over and over again.
So worn, worked over
With the intention to kill.
To watch him die and smile
At his dismay,
His pain,
My deliverance.
My cleanliness a gift of freedom.
My walk purified.
My peace given by God.
What else is there
After slipping away,
When every thing is silent
And nothing else is around?
Alone.
Looking deep inside.
Hearing the echo of my soul,
No one can know.
In these times of silence,
These times of separation,
I find there is a void that rises up,
A peace that brings my tears,
A comfort that no one else can offer.
So why do people run away?
Why do they look elsewhere
And base their self on opinions
When the truth is so evident that this God of
Love is so constant?
Destruction and storms.
My Jesus stands to help

[Verse 1]
I smoke two joints before I play video games
Then I get 10,000 points
I flew around this planet only yesterday
Because I am an alien
[Pre-Chorus]
I seen this galaxy and Milky Way
I even watched the sun
I got a J givin' me my light away
Because I don't get drunk
[Chorus]
Let's do something good today, before it's too late
Let's do something good today, before it's too late, this is our day
Let's do something good today, before it's too late
Said let's do something good today, before it's too late, before it's too late
[Verse 2]
Three more joints and I'm still playing video games
Can't even count the points
Play it 'til my fingers bleed
Who said that tomorrow will be guaranteed?
[Chorus]
Let's do something good today, before it's too late
Let's do something good today, before it's too late, this is our day
Let's do something good today, before it's too late
Said let's do something good today, before it's too late, before it's too late

And then we fly away and we ain't running out of fuel
I'm running off of you, I'm running off of you
And then we fly away and then we fly away and we ain't running out of fuel
I'm running off of you, I'm running off of you and then we fly
[Chorus]
Let's do something good today, before it's too late
Let's do something good today, before it's too late, this is our day
Let's do something good today, before it's too late

But I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
And you think you're on the move
But there's nothing
No there's nothing left to breathe deep inside

I've been wasting my time
I am losing my mind
My head's on the floor
For evermore
I have given you all
All that I had
But with a slam of the door
You've driven me mad
Now I'm sad
Tell me what you want
You have taken it all
All of my love
Unrelenting you told
You told me a lie
So I can cry
There aren't words for it all
All that I feel
With the palm of your hand
You crushed me for real
Now what's the deal
Tell me what you want
I'm wishing to God you're gonna say you miss me
I'm crossing my fingers that you say you're gonna kiss me
I'm wishing to God you're gonna say you miss me
I've got my fingers crossed you'll kiss me one more time
So I can say I ain't been wasting my time
I am losing my mind
My head's on the floor
For evermore

But with the slam of the door
You've driven me mad

The time is right but don't be critical
The same could happen to you
You know I'm not right and I can't be analytical
About the things you're going through
Look at me baby now you think I might be crazy
But you just can't touch me now
I know I'm not right and I really can't be lazy
And I think I'm going home
Look into my eyes
The high is fine but don't be cynical
The game is still the same
If you're coming up light and you want some retribution
Then believe in what I say
Take a position where there ain't no superstition
And just grab whatever's gold
'Cause if you're coming up light on the day of testimony
They'll just send you packing home
They're gonna do it to ya!
Look into my eyes
Wait for the lies
Wait until the summer's gone
Waiting for the lines to fall
Wait until the summer's gone
Look into my eyes
Wait for the lies

We're not alone
We're automatic tonight
There's no looking back
We came to put out the lights
We're not alone tonight
We won't stop.
Gonna crush the day
Take any cheap shot
Thrown our way
Get high on top
Of the world at bay
And we're never coming down, never coming down, never!
So we'll bleed on through and suffer the bruises
Take all the blame but no excuses
First one to blink is the first that loses
So we're never looking down, never looking down, never!

It's a heart break,
But it won't be long
Like an earthquake,
We kick it strong
Make your world shake
Cross the line that's drawn
And we're never looking back, never looking back, never!
So we'll lick our wounds, rise from the ashes
Kick down the door and break the latches
Gasoline dreams so we strike with matches
So we're never giving up, never giving up, never!
We're automatic tonight
There's no going back
We came to join in the fight
We're not alone
We're automatic tonight
There's no looking back
We came to put out the lights
We're not alone tonight
We're automatic like an addict passin' out on the lawn
When we're chargin' into battle like Genghis Khan
And you're god damn right we'll prove you wrong
This block, this city, is where we belong!
We're automatic tonight
There's no going back
We came to join in the fight
We're not alone
We're automatic tonight
There's no going back
We came to join in the fight
We're not alone

There's no looking back

This is me, I've got a nasty sense of humor
And a case of high anxiety
If you please, I would rather be alone
Let the water running judge me
So I got my life together
But it's half of what it should be
So you think you can make it better?
You better help me, help me
Hang on but prepare, can't live up to you
Hold on, hold on
There's a part of me that can't escape my insecurities
Hang on, this is me
Can't you see I got a perfect explanation
But keep it deep inside of me?
Pardon me, but if you really want to know it
Then you better learn to judge me
So you've got you're life together
But you say you gotta have more
So you think I could make it better
Just be careful what you wish for
Hang on but prepare, can't live up to you
Hold on, hold on
There's a part of me that can't escape my insecurities
Hang on, this is me
Paper clip prediction
But these pictures are deceiving
'Cause their colors lost their place
And now they're dripping down and bleeding
And they're running and running away
Packed it up and leaving
And these dreams turn to nightmares
Like a promise with no meaning
So be careful what you wish for
You just might get it
If this is what you live for
You might as well forget it
You don't know what you're in for
This war will never end
Be careful what you wish for
You just might get it, get it, get it
You just might get it, get it, get it, so hold tight
Hang on but prepare, can't live up to you
Hold on, hold on
There's a part of me that can't escape my insecurities
Hang on, this is me
(Be careful what you wish for)
Hang on but prepare, can't live up to you
Hold on, hold on
(You just might get it)
There's still a part of me that can't escape my insecurities
Hang on, this is me
(Be careful what you wish for)

This is me

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show
We want it all, we want it now, we wanted you to know
So keep your hands and legs inside the ride and take it slow
It's bullshit by design, we're about to blow your mind
I ain't no Steve McQueen
I'm like a dead pop star in a magazine
I'm really one last loss in quarantine
With pro tools gutting up the hit machine
So come and take more, take more
You can't help us out, no
Now escape more, escape more
You can't help us out, no
And break more, break more
You can't help us out
We play hard out on the asphalt
Don't think you're cut out for this, go
Save me from myself
This ain't a test, it's state of emergency
'Cause I can't stop myself, I'm trying my best
Tell me what else could go wrong?
I dream like hollow queen
I got a knife in my back and a song to scream
I watch the walls cave in, inhaling gasoline
It's like that in the middle of this party scene
So come and take more, take more
You can't take us out, no
Now escape more, escape more
You can't take us out, no

You're such a fucking hypocrite, it's so appropriate
I'm feeling so delinquent and all degenerate
This is some good shit, man where'd you get it?

Anesthetized by these lies
I don't believe in truth
And I apologize
But my sacrifice
Has nothing to do with you
'Cause I've been victimized
Like ocean size
From the blood your needle drew
And I apologize
But my demise
Has everything to do with you
Settle up with the devil
Close the basement door
Full force on the shovel
And unearth the floor
You were there one day
But you're here no more
Like a stroke through the heart
And you play the whore
'Cause you stole my soul
Kleptomaniac
Now I can hate myself take my anger back
Love is a violent attack
You cut me down
I feel no pain now
This nightmare is almost through
I hit the ground
No need to feel now
My time here is all but done
All but done
Now I'm up in the attic
Where the rafter's strong
So many reasons to be tragic
And the list is long
If you think I've lost hope
You were never wrong
'Cause the churning of the rope
Is my battle song
Settle up with the devil
Close the basement door
Full force on the shovel
And unearth the floor
You we're there one day
But you're here no more
Like a stake through the heart
And you play the whore
'Cause you burned my soul
Pyromaniac
You can hate yourself take your anger back
Love is a violent attack
I can't stand on my own feet now
I can't crawl forever and a day
Felt like I was getting stronger
Before you turned and walked away
I apologize
But my demise
Has everything to do with you

Jumping off the rooftops
Making all the clouds pop
Come one and all
It's time for a shake up
Faking is the new wheel
Liars make a new deal
Watch it unravel
How dumb do you feel?
I don't really care about society
I don't really care go on and lie to me
I don't really care if we don't agree
I don't really care what you think about me

Molotov's are falling (Pump up the volume)
A minor threat like you
Paperweight torn in two
Kill switch stalling (Pump up the volume)

I don't give a fuck and I ain't gonna listen
I don't give a fuck about your expectation
I don't give a fuck about your motivation
I don't give a fuck and I ain't gonna listen
Crashing in a new car
Burning like an old star
Rise for the fall of it all
It's a new war
Money makes a mean shield
Bleed as your skin peels
Knees cut in gravel
How numb do you feel?
I don't really care about your anarchy
I don't really care if you're judging me
I don't really care about your jealousy
I don't give a fuck what you think about me
I really really care about what you're thinking
All of your thoughts all the money you're making
I really really care about what you're drinking
How did you get so cool?
I really really care to hear about your day
Of all the cool people that you met today
Really really care what you have to say
Nah, I'm just kidding
Fuck off!

I'm back again I'm here to waste more time of yours
I just needed a couple of bucks or maybe more
Well let me throw my two cents in then I'm out
Just want to let you know kid that I got clout
And I'll use it in another night cause I choose it
Got to run through cause you know I got to make this last
Well I'm back again, I wonder why you?re never home
I called ten times today, I guess you weren't alone
I'm back again, some things that I need to do
I need to borrow your car, I'll get it back by two
Second time through and I know you got some cash
Need a little dough cause I got to hook up a stash
Right? Or maybe stay the night
Just say no and I'll act like I'll go
And you said 1, 2, 3 go!
Hey kid where you running off to?
I know you want me can't live without me
Say kid, where you running off to?
I know you want me and you'll be back again
Well I'm back again, and full of immaturity
I failed re-hab, got fired from the KFC
I'm back again, I see you when you stare at me
I know you love it and late at night I'm in your dreams
Wait a minute now why you trippin'
Need a place to stay for the weekend
Listen cause I'm speaking
Maybe take your car for a ride
Pick up my man Zummy waiting outside
Goldtoof said 1, 2, 3 no!
Chim-check it

Take a trip to your place even though you got a date
And I know it's just a game that you're playing
I'm saying that your boyfriend is a dork so I'm staying
So check me
And no I won't ask, you won't let me
Take all of your money if you bet me
Are you sorry that you met me?
My time is all up so kid I got to go
A day in the life of super ho, go!
Hey kid, where you running off to?
Don't you want to roll back around again?
Hey kid, don't you want to be rocking out too?
Don't you want to roll back around again?

There's this girl I don't know
Comes by every year or so
And if I get the mail before my mom
Then I will stay out of trouble
She'll change every year
Even pretty without beer
She doesn't care about my hair
My car, my tiny pee-pee
In the mirror
Who, yeah
She's finally here
Who, yeah
Comes one time a year
Who, yeah
She's finally here
Who, yeah
My Playmate of the Year
[Chorus]
She moves me
She makes me grow
I'm so happy and boy does it show
Now she's going to my head
Going to my head (to my head)
I'm going to make this milky clear
(You're my) Playmate of the Year
Hello, how are you?
It's great to see you, too
Let's grab a sock
It's time to rock
And afterwords
You never want to talk
We always agree
Who's in charge here is me
We never fight
You know I'm right
It's always straight between you and me
Let me go down on this girl for a day
We can play spin the bottle
Everyone can hear her say
That I was the best that she's ever had
She could be my Playmate
And she could call me Dad
Who, yeah
She's finally here
Who, yeah
She comes one time a year
Who, yeah
She's finally here
Who, yeah
My Playmate of the Year
[Chorus]
Who, yeah
She's finally here
Who, yeah

She moves me
She makes me grow
I'm so happy and boy does it show
Now she's going to my head
Going to my head (to my head)
I'm going to make this milky clear

<@#Zebrahead_Runaway.txt#@>
She wakes up in the morning
In the same room that she's been in her whole life
And everything still looks the same
But the feeling of the room has changed in spite
She said
"You don't know what it's like to be stuck in my mind"
She said
"You don't know what it's like to be stuck in my mind all the time"
Bruised lips and the make-up
Tattooed hips and pierced
For the sake of letting everybody know
She don't belong here
Old tricks that she made up
Attitude
I don't give a fuck
For the sake of letting everybody know
She says I won't belong So long
It's not a lost cause
She's just a runaway
Is there nothing left for you to say?
And if she comes home
Do you think she'll want to stay?
Is there anything for her?
She's a runaway
Turn your back on yesterday
She calls at seven thirty
And wants to talk about her boyfriend one last time
Mom and Dad are fighting in the background,
Shattered glass cuts through red wine
I said,
"I don't know that I'm right but I know that you're wrong"
[Chorus]
Blacked out
Passed out at a party
In another town
With the same old Bacardi
Nothing ever changes what's inside me
Someone find me, someone find me
My heart showed me the way out
Don't stop
Don't give up on me now
Two beats, two streets
Too many repeats to blow my only other way out
[Chorus]
<@#Zeromancer_Erotic_Saints.txt#@>
Erotic saints
Rated are
Rainbow veins
And sunlight scars
Say my name
Say my name
Keep me dry
In a cool place
Get me out
In a few days
I will feel so much better
Until we all are grown apart
We live our lives the way we want
Until we all are torn apart
Been in for days
Neon tan
Asbestos lips
Will kiss your hand
Every word you say
Blow me away
This is it
Here it comes
I Think I'll quit
To use my lungs
Beta dreams
Airbrush a tumor
Until we all are torn apart
Are torn apart

You lost your self respect
You gave it all away
for no good reason
what were you thinking
Flirt with me
If you want me to
I'll do it for you
When you got that
smile on your face
that look in yourt eye
So look into these eyes
and tell me what you see
do you see affection
the way it should be
come on
Flirt with me
If you want me to
I'll do it for you
When you got that
smile on your face
that look in your eye
you want everything
I am the first you will ever have
I am your lover
I'm your God
When I get close to you
When you got that
smile on your face
that look in your eye

Some days are just a copy
Of a day you had before
You flash yourself thinking
You can't take it anymore
Never feels more alone
When you're in a crowded room
And bang your head to a wall
You feel nothing, nothing at all
Just want to feel the same
Just want to feel the same
Some things will never change
Just want to feel the same
Just want to feel the same
Always knew you'd be a star
Now I know that's what you are
And we cry
To a new beginning
We deny
A new beginning
So let me introduce to you
This favourite play of mine
A comedy called Germany
You may not understand
The funny thing it's about someone
Who's never been alone
Just trying to be a friend
So you can start all over again
Some things will never change
Just want to feel the same
Just want to feel the same
Always knew you'd be a star
Now I know that's what you are
And we cry
To a new beginning
We deny
A new beginning
<@#Zeromancer_Hollywood.txt#@>
It's the real thing
Safety's off
Are you there
Are you there for me
By my side
An angel
Who dodge the bullets wide
It feels right
On a beach
When you talk
You talk without a sound
And when you walk
Your feet hardly touch the ground
But you're there
By my side
But you're there for me
When all this is over
Heaven knows I'm going nowhere
I was only dreaming
Censored for a deeper meaning
It wears off
Like lipstick on your skin
Like a day that won't begin
Waking up
And you can't remember
Where you've been
It's time
We get things straight
Are you there
Are you there for me
Back for good
It's 6 a.m. in Hollywood
<@#Zeromancer_Houses_Of_Cards.txt#@>
How can you stand there and deny it?
After all we have been through
How can you stand there and deny it?
And make a fool out of you
Collapsing
Like houses of cards
And landing
On splinters and glass
Wish I could fake it like you do
Wish I could fake it just like you
How can you stand there and deny it?
How can you stand there and deny it?
Trust me now
Collapsing
Like houses of cards
And landing
On splinters and glass
They crush your heart
But spare your feet
Like judging people
You've yet to meet
Well time is running fast
Upon your reflection
Trust me now
How can you stand there
Stand and deny it?
<@#Zeromancer_Idiot_Music.txt#@>
It's the words you don't say
That keeps ringing in my ear
I feel like an idiot
To think that you really cared
It's the kiss you don't blow
that I keep brushing off my chin
It's the punch you don't throw
That keeps hurting within
I only loved you
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
It's the words you don't scream
That being sucked back in
A dream within a dream
It's not what you've seen
It's what you don't understand
That makes you sharper than
The ones who
Take advantage of you
I only loved you
Sick of this music
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
A cellular goodbye
<@#Zeromancer_New_Madonna.txt#@>
I see you out on the dance floor shaking around
I see you out on an empty beach
I see you walking a one way street
It's the same as always
A star maybe you are
A star maybe you are
A new Madonna
In a way I can hear myself say
What is it worth
I say we meet on the last place on earth
It's insane as always
Maybe you are
A star maybe you are
A new Madonna
Is this the only way
You make it like a new Madonna
<@#Zeromancer_Send_Me_An_Angel.txt#@>
Do you believe in heaven above
Do you believe in love
Don't tell me a lie
Don't be false or untrue
It all comes back to you
Open fire on my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love
My defences are down
A kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own
If a girl walks in
And carves her name in my heart
I'll turn and run away
Everyday we've all been led astray
It's hard to be lucky in love
It gets in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Looking for love
Calling heaven above
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now
Empty dreams can only disappoint
In a room behind your smile
But don't give up, don't give up
You can be lucky in love
It gets in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Looking for love
Calling heaven above
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now
It gets in your eyes
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now
Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now
Send me an angel
Right now

Oh look who's dancing
Look who's dancing now
And some are dancing on their feet
Some are jumping off the floor
And look at old Tauter him
He got the, he got the, he got the, he got the beat for sure
Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing
Look who's dancing now
Look who's dancing
Check the dancing
Look who's dancing now, get on the floor
(groove section)
Do the ska, the rock steady, the ridim and blues
And if you catch them, then you do the della move
It nuh mek nuh sense to sit down, when you know you can goove
Any type of danve you do, you neither win or lose
And if your choice is reggae, you don't need nuh dancing shoes
Suh listen to the message, and you know you won't lose
Look who come, come dancing pow we dancing floor again
Some a dem a enemy, some a dem a friend
Some a dem a mother and father, some a dem a children
Some a dem a loafer who a follow the trend
And some a dem a just dey ya as we good brethen
That's why we ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
Ra ra ra ragga muffin
Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
That's why we ra ra ragga
That's why we ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
Ra ra ra ragga muffin
So we ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
Ra ra ra ragga muffin
That's why we flash certain dancing style, it sound well wicked
If a guy woulda really try, so you know him stupid
Exorcism, devilism we nuh deal wid
Our faith in jah jah man, it well, well, well solid
So pray every day and ask for strength and knowledge
That's why we ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged
That's why we ra ra ra ragga muffin
That's why we ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff and rugged

I got the power to move ya
I got the power to move ya
I got the power to move ya
JAH got the power to move ya
Don't take it simple
Babylon get trample
Them could a big and bad
Have you ever seen love mad
Is not a big ak
Is not a nuclear bomb
The system try to stop the power
No way they can
I got the power to move you
I got the power to move ya
JAH got the power to move ya
Now I say things happen just like that
When music play who knows what step will drop
Can you feel if it's creeping up on you
It's gonna get you berfore you know what to do
Turn you inside out
Make you scream and shout
The vibe is building
Crazy reggae rhythm
I got the power to move you
I got the power to move ya
JAH got the power to move ya
JAH got the power to move ya
So don't you try to stop
What you feel inside
When we hit that spot
We tell ya world collide
Some people try to stick
TO what they know outside
Acting like a programmed chip
We tell them free they mind
I got the power to move you
I got the power to move ya
JAH got the power to move ya
JAH got the power to move ya

Lost am I in my memories of my forefathers' legacy
I am one of you you are one of me
Why don't we set the people free
How I grieve to see fulfillment of prophecy
Naive of me to think things could change
While man remain the same so war will be for me everyday
No peace no peace for the children of Israel
Gaza cries all the tears from her eyes
Will there be no peace for the children of Palestine
Shalom salaam shalom salaam
Who will take the blame for the blood of my children
To who does vengeance belong to no one no one
We're dying from tanks and suicide bombs
The only answer is to live as one
And justice will come for my sons and just will come for my sons
Shalom salaam shalom salaam
And I wonder why and I wonder who and I wonder what
Is in the heart of you
And I wonder why and I wonder who and I wonder what
Is in the heart of you
Children are children no matter color or faith
And I wonder if history will teach us again
So war will be for me everyday
No peace no peace for the children of Israel
Gaza cries all the tears from her eyes
Will there be no peace for the children of Palestine
And justice will come for my sons
Shalom salaam shalom salaam

Never thought it would be me
Living in a shattered dream
How could this be the end for me?
What I wouldn't give to have
A life to live
A day to plan
Instead I'll be Forever 17
Could've lived out every dream
Could've been most anything
[Chorus]
Can someone wake me up?
I haven't lived yet, I'm only 17.
God did you forget
I'm just a baby and I don't want to be
Forever 17
I'll never have a bed to make
A test to take
A summer day
I'll always be Forever 17
Could've had a family
If things had worked differently
Instead I'll be Forever 17
Could I have just one more day?
A chance to learn from my mistakes?
[Chorus]
In a matter of a moment
Life fell before my eyes
Now I'm looking at the meaning of the miracle of life
Where were we going without even knowing the answer deep inside?
Forever 17
So don't give up
You haven't lived yet
You're only 17
And God did not forget
You're just a baby...

Feeling so crazy lately
When it seems that You're not around
The sun and the moon shine bright
But my eyes are all Yours now
Don't know how I lived with out You
I don't remember how it used to feel
Lord, I can't imagine if I had no You to hold me
[Chorus]
Where would I go with no You to run to
No You to hold me when I am afraid?
Who would I be with no You beside me?
I ought to know it by now without You there's no me
Oh, there's no me
Lord, when I need You, You're always here
To play through the laughter, love through the tears
And when my heart seems so far away
Into Your arms is where I wanna stay
I try to find the words to tell You
All the things my heart's been telling me
I don't wanna know how it feels to have no You to love me
[Chorus]
Where would I go with no You to run to?
No You to hold me when I am afraid?
Where would I be with no You beside me?
I ought to know it by now without you
[Chorus]
<@#Zornik_Scared_Of_Yourself.txt#@>
You reach for pain
You reach for fear
You reach for everything
But nothing ever comes your way
And I'm not lying
You always complain about the way I behave without you
And last night I had a dream
About it
And it's very hard to stay faithful
To a dream of you
CHORUS:
Think about the lies
That we told to each other
We never bothered
What a big surprise
That your scared of yourself
And alone all again
You reach for me
You reach for us
You reach for everything
But nothing ever comes my way
But you
You are nothing but a state of mind
From the start until the end
CHORUS x 2
<@#Zox_Carolyn.txt#@>
The summer swept Chicago
Left us with a little bit of rain
We are trembling, glistening
Listening to the rumble of the elevated train
And I have never been afraid
Of opening myself up to a dream
And now you've filled me like a bubble
And the trouble is I'm bursting at the seams
I can't leave you, Carolyn
It has never been so quiet
My heart will never beat this loud again
I can't leave you, Carolyn
And walk back out amongst the strangers
Strangers who've grown closer than my friends
They grow closer than my friends
A square of sunlight on the bedspread
And I stagger through the silence 'til you wake
We kiss away the morning
Wishing that the morning lasted all day
Well I have never been afraid
Of opening myself up to a girl
But now I've let you in
You begin to shake my precarious world
I can't leave you, Carolyn
It has never been so quiet
My heart will never beat this loud again
I can't leave you, Carolyn
I walk back out amongst the strangers
Strangers who've grown closer than my friends
Sometimes love can be so
Sometimes love can be so lonely
Sometimes love can be so
Sometimes love leaves you alone
(Carolyn)
I can't leave you, (Carolyn)
I can't leave you, (Carolyn)
I can't leave you, (Carolyn)
I can't leave you, (Carolyn)
I don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (Carolyn)
I don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (Carolyn)
I don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (Carolyn)
I don't ever want to be lonely, lonely (Carolyn)

The evening smoulders into night
Turn up the music and I'll drive into the city lights
The wind is on your face
I'm blowing kisses down from outer space
Baby won't you be
Part of my fantasy
Cause I can't sit and wait around until eventually
So let me take you home
And watch your garden grow
A little closer and I'll make it so you can't say no
Caress the rhythm with our feet
We move as one and everyone around can feel the heat
Let's take a step outside
Cause me and you got something we should hide
So baby won't you be
Part of my fantasy
Cause I can't sit and wait around until eventually
Let me take you home
And watch your garden grow
A little closer and I'll make it so you can't say no
Uh and it's making me crazy
To be your friend when you're my fantasy
Fantasy
The morning's melting into day
We're nose to nose and I don't think that I could turn away
The world is in this room
The world is in this room
Baby won't you be
Part of my fantasy
I can't sit and wait around until eventually
Let me take you home
And watch your garden grow
A little closer and I'll make it so you can't say no
Make it so you can't say no
<@#Zox_I_Am_Only_Waiting.txt#@>
Every day is an endless dream
Of traffic lights and gasoline,
Watching as the world passes me by.
All my friends have gone away,
Leaving empty strangers in their place.
The empty fills me up sometimes.
I am only waiting
For someone to break my heart.
I am only waiting for someone.
I've got these words that I've been saving
For a song that I can't start,
While I am waiting
For someone to break my heart.
While I am waiting
For someone to break my heart.
Every night's the same to me,
Alcohol and scripted scenes, and looking
For some answers I won't find.
A hundred different shades of gray,
A million miles and nothing seems to change.
I ain't changed in such a long time.
I am only waiting
For someone to break my heart.
I am only waiting for someone.
I've got these words that I've been saving
For a song that I can't start,
While I am waiting
For someone to break my heart.
While I am waiting
For someone to break my heart.
I am only waiting
For someone to break my heart.
I am only waiting for someone.
I've got these words that I've been saving
For a song that I can't start,
While I am waiting
For someone to break my heart.

Drive into the sky until
It turns the afternoon black
Halfway across the state on the day
We set the clocks back, yeah
And I don't know where I'm going
I follow broken yellow lines
And I hope this open road
Could read my broken mind
This wouldn't be the first day
You left me thirsty
This wouldn't be the first day
You went your way, left me empty, dry
Living in the dark and it's
Turned your heart black
Halfway to the moon since you
Took your nights back
Well I was finished being cool
I'd unmasked this masquerade
And you leave me here to clean up
All this mess you've made?
This wouldn't be the first day
You left me thirsty
This wouldn't be the first day you
Went your way and left me empty
This wouldn't be the first day
You left me thirsty
This wouldn't be the first day you
Went your way, left me empty, dry
This wouldn't be the first day
You left me thirsty
This wouldn't be the first day you
Went your way, left me empty, dry

This is the strangest feeling
Something I can't control
Do I play the fool for you?
If not tonight
Waiting forever
Just to see your face
Waiting is all that I seem to do.
Yeah puro amore
Will another night exist like this again?
Yeah solo amore
We will never get this moment back
Again?
If not tonight
Underneath the stars
Beneath the crescent
Sinking down into the sea
It's not the time
But I will wait forever
If this is what you want
Waiting could be the end of me
Yeah puro amore
Will another night exist like this again?
Yeah solo amore
We will never get this moment back
Again?
One day I will open your eyes
Underneath the stars
Beneath the crescent.
Yeah puro amore
Will another night exist like this again?

Again?

There will never be a night?
If not tonight?

For seven days now
If you don't come back to me
I feel the flood is coming
You're losing me

From deep into the night
In seas that I don't know
A hurricane is raging

You know the place we go The music's John blaze hot
And everybody was feeling the dj
Over there I saw a beautiful lady
Back It up and the disco ball came down
The beat gets slow and you know what happens now
Dim the lights she's looking my way
What more do I have to say
She took my hand and never said a word at all
She starting grinding shorty had me up against the
Wall
I see you bouncing now you know that I don't care at
All
She took me hand now she had me up against the wall
We don't, we don't care at all

We let two hours fly and then I'm goin home

Voices of angels

And we'll all join hands
To celebrate the goodness
That shines inside of everyone
It must have been a part of some great design
Guess it's Christmas time
Seein' the faces of the little boys and girls
Singing their First Noel
A sweet refrain heard all around the world
A song of forgiveness, comforting peace
A time to remember what life really means (Life really means)
The important things (Important things)

Open our hearts so we can open our arms

You never let me down, you're true to the end
For in the darkest hour when all was lost
Somehow you left the light on
You faced the wrong and showed the world a thing or two
Stood up for me and for you
And you should know
Some say it wasn't worth the things we went through (things wewent through)
I say it ain''t worth losing you (losingyou)
I hope you know how much you've changed all our lives

If only through heaven's eyes

I still remember the things that you said
I keep your words alive, I could never forget
Cause in the final hour you made me proud
So proud that I could know you
Told the world it's time that they believed in you
You stood for right and truth
And you should know
Some say it wasn't worth the things we went through (things wewent through)

They did it for us all
And we should learn from it
Stand up if you believe in it

Christmas is here
Everybody's back together again
Spreading the joy
Spreading the cheer
Toasting to another year's end
So thankful for
All of my friends
Oh.
When the party is over
The night's just begun
I promise the best part is
Yet to come
Slow dance together
Two become one
[Chorus]
That's what we've waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothin' I would rather do
Than hold you all through the night under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and low
I'll show how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful under my tree
The fire's aglow
We've got Nat King Cole
Singing us a song from his heart
Sleigh bells and snow
Makes us feel close
To the stars
When the carols are sung
And the fire has died
The embers still burns with the love in our eyes
Cherish the moment
Savor the night
[Chorus]
No one but me
No one but you
Sweet rendezvous
Under my tree
No one but me
No one but you
When the party is over
The night's just begun
I promise the best part is
Yet to come
Slow dance together
Two become one
That's what we've waited all day for
No one else but me and you
Nothing I would rather do
Than hold you all through the night under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and low
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
I wish that Santa could be here to see
No one else but me and you
Nothin' I would rather do
Than make all your dreams come true
Under my tree
Such a cozy rendezvous
Just relax, enjoy the view
I'll show you how good it could be
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

And I haven't held you for so long
My foolish pride turns me inside
Why did we tell all those lies?
You can reach for the phone
You don't have to be alone
Outside the winter seems so cold
Your heart is frozen like the snow
And there's no one home to keep you safe and warm
Your eyes are red because you've cried
You fell asleep by the fireside
But there's one thing you should know
On this Christmas baby
You don't have to be alone...
And I had only one wish on my list, oh
For me you would be the perfect gift, oh yeah
There's nothing colder than an empty home, oh no (empty home)
And holidays were never meant to be alone, oh (to be alone)
The smiles we gave when our hearts were safe
By each other's love and warmth
That's subsided now with happiness around
If I can only find the way to your heart...
Outside the winter seems so cold (so cold, so cold)
Your heart is frozen like the snow (frozen like the snow, oh so cold)
And there's no one home to keep you safe and warm (no one home,keep you safe
and warm yeah)
Your eyes are red because you've cried (you've cried)
You fell asleep by the fireside (by the fireside)
But there's one thing you should know (one thing you should know)
On this Christmas baby
You don't have to be alone...yeah, uh
You don't (no, no) have to be alone
You don't have to be (no, no) all alone at home
Ohhhh... on Christmas...
You don't (you don't) have to be alone...
You don't have to be...(alone) alone
You don't have to be alone
Outside the winter seems so cold (so cold, sing it baby)
Your heart is frozen like a storm (frozen like a storm yeah... like a storm)
And there's no one home (no one home) to keep you safe and warm (to keep you
safe and warm)
You don't have to be alone
Your eyes are red because you've cried (you've cried)
You fell asleep by the fireside (by the fireside)
But there's one thing you should know (one thing you should know)
On this Christmas baby, you don't have to be.... Alone.... Yeah...
